few things give me the same pure unbridled joy as racing furiously against some form of public transport on my little bike

[stranger-who-writes-fiction]

Been having a weird/off week. But you know what’s made it better?

Spending some more time in Midvale with Supergirl Ep. 6x06, “Prom Again!”

Spoilers!

So! Last week was the fun shenanigans/set-up, THIS WEEK we get the emotional pay-offs and oooooh. So good. So good.

Historically, Supergirl kinda struggles to stick its landing when it comes to paying off its set-ups, but I think this episode is really solid in that regard.  

And thus, we begin! With the forest showdown! And I love it. Love every part of it. Love Kara flying in and freeing Nia and Brainy with her heat vision, love that one of Kenny and Kara’s go-to plays is called ‘Speed Racer’, love Brainy’s whole, ‘my buddy’s gonna BLAST YA if you don’t cooperate’ and Kara just. Threatens the bad guys from the shrubbery.

She’s supposed to be scary and intimidating with the heat vision eyes but dagnabbit...it’s just kind of cute.

Last week I completely forgot to mention how much I love that Kenny and Kara have go-to plays WITH NAMES. (NERDY names at that!) And also that Alex is so exasperated by it.

JUST YOU WAIT, KIDDO. 

Fast forward to the Fortress and everyone’s happy! The day is saved! The timeline is restored! Alex apologizes for being a bit of a grouch!

*cough* understatement *cough*

And Brainy doesn’t get the fist bump, d’awwwww. XD

Nia has a lovely chat with Kara wherein SHE is the elder hero who inspires the youths. Nice. NICE.

And THEN, the first of some good Danvers Sisters scenes...we’ll call this one ‘the mini-van chat.’ 

Kara apologizing about the ‘Zookeeper fight-y thing’ and the GLASSES FIDGET.

Shout out to the writers, who were ON-POINT with the dialogue for both parts, and shout out to the young actresses as well. It’s...honestly uncanny, how well they nailed playing Kara and Alex. 

(I mean, we knew this already, of course, but GOSH. What a wonderful showcase. So, so glad, that we got such a large Midvale story in the final season.)

Right, so, another dialogue highlight from the mini-van chat (but like, not in a silly way. More in a, ‘oh wow that’s very sweet’ way) Alex, to Kara about her choice: ‘It’s the right one because you made it.’

THESE KIDS.

Then we go to Nia and Brainy on the Legion Cruiser!

Nia’s outfit? Outstanding. Brainy’s mask? Admittedly a little distracting because it didn’t look like it was fitting quite right.

But A+ song choice for their dance, show. 

(Really, A+ song choices across the board. You can tell they were absolutely LOVING getting in all those needle drops.) 

And then we discover--ALL IS NOT WELL! THE TIMELINE IS STILL BROKEN!

Cat Grant has released the aliens! And she has been captured! And yet she remains heckin’ fearless!

Love that she calls Mitch ‘Mr. Blue Sky.’

It took me a while to warm up to this ‘new’ version of Cat Grant but this episode really gave her some fun stuff to do and yep, I dig it. Great stuff. 

Meanwhile, back at the prom...

I'm taking this moment to applaud the Supergirl folks for their very nice workarounds for ‘crowded’ locations this season thus far. The episodes have never felt like, overtly obvious in terms of Covid protocol impacts (I mean there are a few scenes here and there where you’re like, ‘oh, yeah, this is set up in this specific way to probably account for some production changes) but I’ve never felt that the episodes are losing anything, you know?

Case in point! Two episodes, set in a crowded high school! But most of the stuff takes place before/between classes, or outside!

(Specifically enjoyed all the outdoor stuff and natural lighting. It’s not quite the same as that LA sunshine, but. Still nice.)  

Anyways, in “Prom Again!” the action/discussions are set in the hallways/classrooms outside of the actual Prom. Inobtrusive! Makes sense for the story! Doesn’t compromise!

Gold stars for everyone. 

Kara and Kenny are BOTH unrelentingly cheesy--Kara even says as much--and it’s wonderful.

‘Hey Stargazer.’ Kara, you smooth operator you.

Shout out to Kenny’s bowtie, it’s great.

...Shout out to Kenny in general.

(Like, Will is great, but he’s got a lot to live up to, now.)

So FURTHER PROOF THAT THE TIMELINE IS BUSTED: Kara is going to stay in Midvale!

:O

Me, knowing full well that Kara has to go to National City, but also being...just a liiiiittle bit team Kenny: 

And then...THE METEOR!

That Kara just. Body-slams.

It reminded me of another Danvers, who also body-slams some space stuff:

But UNLIKE Kara’s cross-company cousin, this particular move does not end well!

Because there’s KRYPTONITE! And also, a CLOAKED SPACESHIP, BLOCKING THE FALLING METEOR DEBRIS! And, you know, ALIEN HUNTERS THREATENING HIGH SCHOOLERS! And Kenny SACRIFICES HIMSELF FOR KARA!

(Well, okay. It’s tonight but you get the idea.)

Poor, sweet Kenny. Who feels WAY out of his depth as he’s imprisoned alongside Cat on the alien ship...but it does bring us one of her patented ‘tough love pep talks.’ Wherein she calls Kenny brilliant.

And also, Kendall.

Never change, Cat. Never change.

Also, “Go, go.”

Okay, some more rapid fire specifics that I enjoyed so that this list doesn’t get...too? Long? ...No promises.

Smol Kara squaring her shoulders in that classic Kara Super Pose! 

Alex being able to pick a lock!

Kara using the reflected sunlight from the moon to heal!

‘That’s an 80% failure rate’ ‘Oh yes it’s terrible.’

The scene where the police have Kara, and Alex comes rushing out all, ‘that’s my sister!’ and Kara’s gonna just RISK EVERYTHING to fix this?

100/10, excellent, love to see that Danvers Sisters angst in the Worst Timeline. Also? Alex’s desperate little headshake, silently pleading for Kara to NOT DO THE THING???? Devastating. In the best way.

‘The world will know that name...Keira.’ 

No Plutonian Landshark sightings!?!? Not even a graphic on a computer screen? FOR SHAME!

(Personally, I’m imaging that they look like Jeff, pictured below.)

Kara stowing away on the Cruiser, and her very cute, ‘Don’t be mad!’

Her entire speech about her future--She’s just seventeen! She doesn’t have her driver’s license yet! Eliza’s only let her do the laundry once! She’s not even sure she can make rice!

(Eliza, I love you, but for Pete’s sake, let your kid do her own laundry.) 

Brainy and Kara trying to play it cool upon being discovered by Kenny and Alex! 

Their story involving an excess of formal wear!

Nia inspiring Cat to start CatCo, and telling her she’s CAT FREAKIN’ GRANT!

“If you say Lois Lane I will expire.”

Wait, did I mention the lucid dreaming power yet? ...Nia’s lucid dreaming power!

The entirety of Kara and Kenny’s talk in the gym!

Kara in the Worst Timeline tell Alex, ‘you don’t have to shout’. And then in the Fixed Timeline: ‘inside voice please.’

And she quotes Monty Python that lil GOOBER.

THE WHOLE EPISODE(S) was a GOSHDARN DELIGHT, I TELL YA. (Did I say that last week? I might’ve said that last week, but I don’t care.)

And now, some slightly more in-depth, overall thoughts:

So, How ‘Bout Them Danvers: Not surprisingly, the girls end up in, if not the exact same place as the end of “Midvale”, then pretty darn close. I’m trying to avoid, like. All of fandom, these days, but unfortunately, the bad takes are numerous, and often untagged. So I did see a bunch of people insisting that Kenny living ‘ruined the Danvers’ relationship’ and that the show is ‘taking away everything that makes Kara Kara’

To which I say:

In the broadest terms, what needs to happen by episode’s end to match up with “Midvale”, and prep the kiddos for the stuff that happens in the Pilot - Kara needs to put the aspirations of super-ing on the backburner, and Alex needs to like. Not hate Kara, but also be committed to helping Kara keep her secret, you know...secret. 

All of these things are set up. I repeat: All. Of. Them.

And Kenny didn’t have to die!

(I will admit, I chuckled that they so blatantly teased an untimely demise for him...because I know it will annoy select corners of fandom.

Muhahahahaha.)

But anyways, back to those key ingredients for making a ‘Danvers Sisters in the same emotional place they were in @ Midvale’s end’ soup: Alex deals with that simmering resentment. Seeing Kara handle herself well in a super-ing context gives her that little, ‘hey, this isn’t so bad!’ outlook.

BUT INTERESTINGLY, in the Fixed Timeline, Alex and Kara don’t have that chat in the supply room, where Alex is like. ‘You CANNOT reveal your powers, BAD THINGS will happen if you do.’ 

That is saved for the Pilot!*

MEANWHILE. The Kara ingredients! She puts super-ing on hold. 

Her chat with Kenny functions as a replacement for her chat with J’onn-as-Not!Alura, in the sense that it’s here that she reveals that she didn’t choose to come to Midvale, she didn’t choose these powers. 

(...I can already sense fandom using those lines to prove their end-of-series theories and like. Ugh. Ugh.) 

But anyways. It’s also here that we get shades of Pilot!Kara, what with the season one conflict of being Super vs. being normal. 

It’s ALL THE SAME STUFF.

Fandom needs to like. Chill. 

And their (fake) concern for Kara’s characterization is entirely misplaced, because this was a really wonderful showcase for Kara in particular.

Like. The first episode was really Nia’s time to shine, and we still got solid Brainy and Nia action in this episode!

But man. That good Kara content.

THE CONTENT I CRAVE!

So speaking of good Kara content in particular, I LOVED Kara’s prom dress. It's got both a SKIRT. AND PANTS!

Amazing.

I know nothing of fashion, but it was very cute, very girly, and okay. Though I hate the comic, the one thing I actually liked about Future State is Kara’s costume. This was similar!

(Thank goodness it looked nothing like the prom dress from Rebirth. That...was a bit of a train wreck.)

(Look, not all comic artists are great clothes designers, it’s just how it is.)

We see the empowerment theme come up with Kara inspiring Kenny; he describes her as ‘an amazing light in a world of darkness’ and tells her that, ‘you changed me, Kara Zor-El.’

We love to see it. 

They also agree that stargazing and Monty Python make for the perfect prom these absolute NERDS I love them.

*Quick wibbly-wobbly, timey-whimey note WRT making this episode ‘fit’ with the Pilot: I’m not saying that it 100% does. There’s already the change with the Kryptonite, and the added info/awareness of the DEO. 

Those little changes, though, don’t really impact the overall arc of Kara and Alex, the way the emotional stuff might. 

Thus! The ‘Pilot’ of Earth Prime, and in fact, the ENTIRETY of the show’s run thus far most likely involved little differences throughout, but the emotional core is very close, if not the exact same.

BUT EITHER WAY, it doesn’t matter, because our Kara and Alex are still our Kara and Alex thanks to the multiple sets of memories! 

(So all of fandom’s freaking out is for naught. As it almost always is.) 

I bring this up because, again, as much as I talk about setting stuff up for where we find Kara six years from now--this Kara is a little different! She comes across as more confident, something Izabela Vidovic mentioned in an interview, when discussing her approach to playing Kara this time around. 

And now, Alex: Admittedly, she gets less focus as like, a solo-entity in these episodes--she really is there to serve the more Kara-centric plot. Personally, it didn’t bother me too much because outside of these flashback episodes, Alex has had some solid development and screen time, so. It balances out.

And the scenes we did get with those 2? Solid. Top tier. There was even a couch scene! Like, technically. Because there was a couch in the supply room. XD  

Spotlight on Kenny: fandom kinda loves to insist that all the men on Supergirl are trash, because, ya know. 'Feminism’ or whatever. It’s ships, it’s always ships. But, in fact! The dudes on Supergirl? Are actually wonderful! And Kenny is another example of a guy who isn’t afraid to be emotionally vulnerable, who 1000% supports Kara, but is also like. His own person. 

GOOD JOB, SHOW. GOOD JOB.

Brainy too, had some really nice stuff in terms of dealing with his emotions!

And it’s Brainy who gives us our closing line, as Nia asks him how he’s feeling now that they’ve accomplished their mission:

“Hopeful.”

NOICE.

In conclusion! “Prom Night” and “Prom Again!” were EXCELLENT! They had heart! They had stakes! They had the promised time-travel do-over alluded to in the titles! Outstanding performances from the entire cast! Tthe ‘young’ versions of characters in particular! And I WILL be watching these episodes on repeat throughout the three-month hiatus! XD

But before the Super Friends take their break: NEXT WEEK! The Quest for Kara Concludes!!!

More Thinking on Golf Carts

(1,800 words, ~8 minutes)

The humble golf cart could be the future of American personal transport.

Cities

The most basic nature of the human settlement is formed through its relationships between time, energy, and space. With energy we can control travel time, and thus access to space. We should envision cities as a pool of destinations accessible per unit time. The spacing between these destinations is determined by travel speed.

The number of accessible destinations reachable in a given time in an area can be roughly modeled as...

[network penetration] × [area density] × π × [transit speed]2

Due to the fragile nature of the human body, each increase in speed requires an increase in space. Apparently, the average driver hits the brakes after around 2.3 seconds. At 20 km/h, the vehicle will have moved around 12-13 meters before that happens. At 60 km/h, 38 meters. At 120 km/h, around 77 meters. As a vehicle becomes faster, it requires greater padding both in itself (to protect passengers) and in the environment (to protect others). This can be in the form of rules or procedures, but it can also be in the form of physical buffers, grade separation, signaling equipment, and so on. We can also constrain the freedom of motion of the vehicle, such as putting it on tracks, reducing the amount of information that others have to process to safely avoid it.

The padding takes the form of space, but it also takes the form of time, because it's largely about acceleration. (This suggests a theoretical maximum density of human development.)

But let's set the full discussion of my theory of city network power aside for now.

Density Considerations

Suppose a car travels at 60 km/h (~37 mph, the average US car speed) and has point-to-point access to an American suburb with a density of 700 persons per square kilometer.

In 15 minutes, the car could travel 15 kilometers. During this time it can go anywhere within that radius, for a total accessible area of about 706 km2. Let us imagine that destinations are directly proportional to population, and that the population is uniform. The car can reach about 495,000 destination... units, or 33,000 per minute. (In practice, it won't hit the average of 37 mph unless it reaches the highway, which it won't do in one minute.)

The typical walking speed is about 5 km/h (~3.1 mph). A pedestrian's 15 minute range is around 4.9 km2. As it happens, there are American university campuses of this size, with on-site restaurants, gyms, and other amenities, with parking decks around the edges. If destinations are proportional to population, we'll need to pack around 101,000 people into the area to equal the suburb.

Note that this doesn't include public transit. Even a New York City bus trundling along at 7 mph (~11 km/h) is twice as fast as a pedestrian, for about 21,000 residents / km2 - not far off the density of some parts of New York.

A bicyclist without much training can (apparently) achieve an average of 20 km/h (~12 mph). This is 4 times faster than a pedestrian. If we take that as around 78 km2, we get roughly 6,350 residents / km2.

Golf cart maximum speed is 32 km/h (~20 mph), giving us a range of 201 km2. That makes for a density of around 2,470 residents / km2, which we'll round up to 2,500.

How tall is that?

Assume each resident requires 80 m2 of space, and 35% of land area is dedicated to residential construction (350,000 m2 for each km2). The heights are then:

0.16 stories for cars.

23 stories for pedestrian-only.

4.8 stories for New York buses.

1.45 stories for bikes.

0.56 stories for carts.

Any number below 1.0 means we can (potentially) build a yard on the lot (if it isn't taken up by parking). Multiply by 2 to divide the lot in half by building taller. (If you've noticed European cities with lots of 3-story buildings, well, that makes sense.)

Golf Carts

Both The Villages in Florida and Peachtree City in Georgia are golf-cart-oriented communities. Peachtree City has "multi-use paths" mandated throughout. These paths wind through scenic forest and reach from subdivisions to stores, restaurants, schools, and other locations throughout the town. Look in on the parking lots from Google StreetView and Maps, however - they seem to be dominated by full-size cars, with only a handful of carts in any given lot. The Villages, a retirement community, does better in terms of the number of carts, but still has plenty of sprawling parking lot despite its wide-reaching cart path network. Why?

Simply put, these are largely conventional developments that have been equipped with a thorough, but auxiliary, golf cart network. Peachtree City has a median household income of $93,000, 66% above the statewide median, and The Villages is an extension of the retirement village golf course concept elevated to a new scale.

The parking lots aren't filled with golf carts because the developments aren't dense enough. In order to have the same number of destinations reachable per unit travel time by golf cart, they would have be about four times the density - around that 2,500 number we proposed earlier.

If we do this the carts may start to become a real traffic issue for each other. With the smaller size and slower speed of the carts, however, one lane's width of conventional road supports roughly twice as many golf carts, so road land use can be allocated to 1/3rd "Micro-mobility Path" (to be shared with bikes, e-scooters, etc) and 2/3rds conventional road.

The shorter length makes a difference much more for parking than it does on the road. A Toyota Corolla covers a minimum of ~8.27 m2, while a Yamaha Drive 2 golf cart covers around 2.87 m2, a factor of almost 2.9x smaller.

Is it walkable?

Golf carts move about six times faster than pedestrians. Cars move around 12 (average) to 24 (highway) times faster. A medium speed for a horse is apparently around 10-17 mph (~3-5.5 times faster). Golf cart and bicycle-oriented development is therefore more analogous to the speed of a horse than it is to the speed of a pedestrian or a car, even though everyone becomes a pedestrian at either the beginning or end of their journey.

...but this isn't necessarily the wrong approach. A town in which every resident has their own personal horse, cowboy hat, and six-shooter is very American in scale. It's also a suitable scale for bicycles.

You might have noticed that in some U.S. cities with high housing demand, there's some new construction going on in a more "New Urbanist" style, with townhomes being built with walking access to small stores or a grocery store. Their streets and parking lots are still scaled to automobile traffic, however, and actually reaching that grocery store from the center of the development might require walking one kilometer and crossing four lanes of loud, full-scale traffic. The small amount of groceries that can be carried on foot require more frequent trips. Most Americans would probably choose to take the car, as cargo bikes aren't really a thing in America (though they should be) and don't have much room for kids. Of course, if the grocery store is on the same side of the road, this is all easier.

...but if the New Urbanists are seeking to build old forms from the America that existed before the automobile, they may unintentionally be implicitly building for the power, mass, speed, mobility, and scale... of the horse. (And also the locomotive.)

Since there is a vehicle that roughly matches that description (the golf cart), and the modifications required would be relatively small (widening of sidewalks into multi-use paths, addition of golf cart lanes to roads, or similar measures), they would make an excellent choice to retrofit. And if we're building for golf carts, we're also building for bicycles, electric bikes, pedal quadricycles, electric scooters, and similar very light and comparatively slow vehicles, as long as we're willing to throw in some small bike and electric infrastructure.

Cars

If you've been following so far, then you probably understand why Americans love cars. They have extremely high network penetration. They have extremely high speed. This allows either tremendous utilization of space or enormous compression of destinations per unit time. They're air conditioned, armored, weaponizable, and just highly mobile in general.

They also get stuck in traffic.

Anyhow, with a car of your own you can go almost anywhere you want in a city, without asking other people, having to wait for public transit with public transit schedule and reliability, or needing to share your bubble of space with loud people. It's a lot of freedom, despite the costs that come with it.

Though slower and with a shorter range, golf carts offer similar radical personal powered point-to-point mobility. A cart-based community should also offer pockets of sufficient density for public transit and cart-based park & ride - residential development will be on the interior of blocks, while businesses will be on the exterior, which makes not having a cart or bike at the destination not as big a deal for commuting.

There is one other matter to deal with.

I like this has lockable doors, my biggest issue with bikes is they get stolen all the time.

- YouTube comment on a video for Veemo, an electric-assist cab bike

It might be more common than you think.

"We should make it so people don't need bikes as much to get around so it won't matter as much when they're stolen," or "if people were more secure in their income, they wouldn't feel a need to steal bikes," or "it's your fault for not properly locking up your bicycle" are not going to cut it. If you want the environmental benefits of the biking, the scooting, the golf carting, the accompanying density and decrease in infrastructure volume, and the reduction in fuel usage (and therefore CO2 emissions), you must arrest and prosecute bike thieves, and you must arrest and prosecute cart thieves.

Government programs such as drug clinics to keep addicts off the streets and job assistance for the poor are compatible with this transit mode, but people must be confident that their bicycles, quadricycles, e-scooters, and golf carts will not be stolen. If they are not confident of this, they will mouth all the correct words to you, then either move to some place where the median household income is $93k and the population density is 550/km2, or just use a car.

The ones that won't are the ones that can't, and are those who are the least able to afford losing their vehicle - the poor.

We can make security mechanisms a part of our transit strategy, such as locking bikestands, or custom keys for golf carts, and registration at city hall for all these vehicles, but all of these micromobility options are inherently lower security than cars, and crime within the town must be handled accordingly.

TL;DR

Math regarding density and speed of transit suggests that a town with the density of 2,500 residents / km2, multiple times the density of U.S. suburbs (with numbers like 500 / km2 or 700 / km2) could be economically viable, if it had a second transport network based on golf carts, bicycles, e-scooters, and so on. This level of density would allow each resident to have a yard and maintain the car-like point-to-point mobility, despite lower use of resources and space.

Blind Date Gaming: Race Days

Oof. The perils of blind dating present themselves in the randomness of your match. Sometimes you get a win and hit it off with your date; sometimes, invariably, you get paired with a bad fit. Today's date was a major blast of the latter. But I get ahead of myself. Let's focus on what my date had to offer during our long night together.

Oh, hello there, Race Days! As the name hints, it's a racing game. Now, I'm really not much for racing games. They never clicked with me much, and thus I have little experience with them. Perhaps this title will be the one that changes my mind a bit?

So this game is actually two in one. The first game is 4 Wheel Drive, one of those first-person driving games where 60% of your action space is the dashboard of a car. At least in this game you see the track map, I guess? It's like having an oldschool GPS in your car long before Google Maps was a thing!

17th place. Because we need 18 vehicles in our racing game for some reason? What is even the color of a participation ribbon for that rank?

Well, it starts off rough. Like 4 FPS rough. You slog through the slow-updating track, driving a chunky jeep around 17 other chunky jeeps in an... err... 'adrenaline-pumping' race. Your primary salvation here is that you get on-screen cues for turns. Without that, I probably would have ended up on some toll road without cash, resulting in some passive aggressive bills being sent to me in the mail. Honestly, though, you'll be paying attention to these signals more than the road since the road blends into the offroad area pretty seamlessly. Only the crappy sound effects will tell you that you're off the pavement.

See this? There's only 1 lane here. The rest is dust or something? Good thing they painted divider lines in the desert.

The other jeeps don't present much challenge, though maybe it was because I was playing in easy mode. Hey, don't judge! I know my weaknesses and play around them! Still, they do have weird hit boxes. Or maybe it's YOUR jeep that has a weird hit box? Perhaps this truck I'm in is some weird import made to host a whole party in the back, thus it's much wider in the body. Well, whatever, this party sucks and my jeep needs to go on a diet. I guess it'll be lighter fuel from now on!

You CAN sort of total your jeep if you act like a goon and keep ramming NPCs. Hope you have good insurance!

So that's basically it, I guess. Due to time constraints, I only played one set of tracks. None of them were particularly memorable or fun to drive on. There are no real mechanics that make this game stand out unless you're looking for a racing game with invisible tracks. I did ace the cup, though, so I guess I have a new trophy at my drab-colored ranch house in the 'burbs on Minnesota (or wherever Jeep-owners usually live).

Man, Duke Nukem needs to find a tailor and should look up proper wine-bottle-toting form

Okay! On to game #2! This game is...HUAGH!

I wouldn't flaunt your graphics team here, chaps

Ohhh-kay, so that's a bold choice of visual presentation right off the bat. This beaut is called Dirty Racin', which I assume might be like Dirty Dancing? Probably doesn't have any romance though, unless it's got like Nascar fans severely crushing on Dale Earnhardt the third. Is there a third one? I assume Nascar drivers have titles like the Dread Pirate Roberts or something. Maybe not. (Apologies if I have insulted racing fans somehow; disclaimer: I'm severely out of my element here.)

Does...does the driver lie down in there? How does he even fit inside?

Like in 4 Wheel Drive, you get to choose a difficulty. After the ease of Jeep Racing Simulator 2000, I decided to be adventurous and go with 'Hazardous'. I don't want to disappoint the cool dude on the options screen who is constructed out of straight lines by choosing easy mode. But wow, that guy is entirely made out of straight lines. The art team here clearly earned their keep.

It takes almost a full bottle of gel every morning to get his bangs at perfect angles like that

So what's this racing game about? Overhead racetracks, apparently. It's you and 3 other cars on a bunch of different tracks, trying your best to outmaneuver each other for a coveted first place victory. Unfortunately, there's only 2 lanes of space, though, so you end up colliding with your opposition all over the place.

Luckily for me, the first couple races just require you to not get last place. I hate the controls in games like this, so I am naturally terrible at this game. I pull through and squeak a third place due to dumb luck, though. Then I'm greeted by some amazing sex idol racing queen that is in no way poorly drawn and clearly epitomizes the breast part about racing. I mean best part. Best part! She offers me car upgrades with the coins I found lying along the racetrack. Let's ignore how a speeding car can safely pick up these caches of money.

Uhh, hey pumpkin, can you move your elbow there? What are you even leaning on?

After this, I travel to the next event, which is a series of 3 races. I have to place first overall to win and unlock more tracks on the map. Okay! Let's do this!

Mmyep, I got 4th place each time. Ok, try again!

...Alright, once more! I think I have the hang of things a bit! I got third once!

Nope, this bites

After a series of horrible losses, I tried to back out and see what else I could play. I mean, there was a second direction to go; maybe the other track is better? But no, the game over screen only lets you try the same race again or quit entirely. So you either have to grind it out and win on that specific map or you have to start over from the beginning. Excellent news. Well, I opted to flee and try a lower difficulty. Surely I can make some ground h-

Yeah, screw this game

I gave up after noticing the AI isn't remotely different in the lower difficulty. Moreover, I started fuming and compounding a list of things I hate about this game! What a joy to be spending time with it. Please let me rant and release this pent up anger. It's therapeutic and I need to vent worse than a racecar with an overheating engine.

All opponents have better handling and stats than you. You need to upgrade your car to even be at the same level as them.

All bumps, be they into walls or other cars, up your damage meter; more damage means a malfunctioning car. You CAN get damage fixed after a race for cash, but doing so pretty much depletes your funds and you get no upgrades. Which means you're STILL at a disadvantage over your opponents.

You always start at fourth place. This means you have to contend with 3 other cars hogging the road space, blocking you and making it hard to get a foothold.

You can't replay levels you beat. This means no grinding for coins or leveling up.

There are only two single races available at the start, both of which have the low bar of making third or higher. After doing those, you MUST do a 'win 1st place in these three races' level to progress.

You can activate nitro for a quick boost, but it's pretty useless since the AI almost immediately activates their own and overtakes you with their better handling and blocking.

Opponents seem to gain higher speed if they're behind you. Like, their non-nitro max speed actually increases, so they easily overtake you.

You can bump into special flashing walls for powerups, but some of them are useless. The best one gives you superspeed for the rest of the match, but it's so fast I can't control it well. I just ended up bumping into walls like mad and upping my damage, all the while having the AI overtake me anyway.

Whew. So there's that embarrassment. I'm sure some of you are laughing at me since this game is probably child's play, but I just can't do it. The GameFAQs guide even says that all difficulty modes are super-easy, so it must just be me. I never got higher than third place. In the end, this was a steaming pile of garbage for me that I wouldn't date again if it was the last form of entertainment left in the world. Not even Upgrade Lady can sway my decision to let this one die forever in a horrible roadside crash. (Okay, so that definitely offended some of you; apologies again!) Take this Sprite of Passage and forget about this game forever. Don't worry, it deserves it.

what else did you expect to be the Sprite of Passage?

Top 5 Best Modifications for the Mitsubishi Evolution X

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was developed over a span of ten generations, with the first nine built from 1992 through 2006. The Evolution X is the most recent iteration and has been in production since October 2007 as a 2008 vehicle. The 2015 model year was the last year for the Lancer Evo, with the iconic and highly popular JDM car being retired all around the globe. Luckily, though, the automotive aftermarket still offers a wide variety of parts and upgrades for all generations of the popular Mitsubishi Evo. 

There’s no doubt that, since its inception, the Mitsubishi Evolution has been a modder’s car. But with so many options available on the aftermarket, it can be hard to figure out where to begin. Not to worry, though, as we’ve compiled the below list naming the top five best mods for your Mitsubishi Evo X. While these are just a starting point for your project, it’s a well-rounded list that covers aesthetics, handling, performance, and tuning. Ultimately, it all depends on what your end goal is and your intentions for your car are. After all, are we ever really “done” modding? 

#1 Air Intake Upgrade

While the Mitsubishi Evo X has a decent standard air intake, it’s always possible to boost its performance and optimize the airflow with very little effort. That’s where an aftermarket intake system comes in. Aftermarket air intake systems are one of the easiest and most affordable ways to increase your Evo’s power output by increasing airflow to the engine. That is why most enthusiasts tend to start with this mod first. It’s practical, functional, and helps dress up the engine bay a bit. 

While an upgraded air intake system may not add nearly as much power as other available engine mods, it does provide several benefits that make it a great bang for the buck. These advantages include airflow improvement, reduced air temperatures, better acceleration response, and increased fuel economy. By letting your Evo’s engine breathe better and breathe in cooler air at that, you are simultaneously freeing up power within its system. A less restrictive system along with a larger diameter inlet tube will have your Mitsubishi Evo’s engine respond quicker to throttle inputs and emit an attractive grown under full acceleration. 

There are several different types of air intakes on the market; with that side, many drivers opt for a cold air intake. Cold air intakes are specifically designed so that the air filter is located away from the engine to draw in cooler air. That’s because the air drawn from the area right next to the engine is, of course, very hot. Since cooler air is denser than warm air and contains more oxygen, it proves to be a significant factor in creating bigger explosions in the combustion chamber for more power. In fact, a cold air intake can give your Evo X up to 25 added ponies.

#2 Exhaust System Upgrade

The obvious next step would be to upgrade your factory exhaust system, which is designed to keep noise levels at a low. Chances are if you are modding your car, you want it to look, feel, and sound the part. But with so many different exhaust components and systems out there, it can be difficult to choose one. One option is a turbo-back exhaust, which utilizes a high-flow cat or Evo X test pipe and can alter the emissions and sound of your car. If you are looking to maintain factory emissions and not disrupt your neighbors early in the morning, a turbo-back isn’t the best choice. There are also axle-back exhaust systems and cat-back exhaust systems available on the aftermarket. An axle-back system is just as it implies; it replaces the exhaust pipes from the axle back. A cat-back replaces all of the components from the catalytic converter to the exhaust tip. 

The only downside to an axle-back exhaust is that it’s more of a sound mod than anything else, because it merely replaces the muffelrs. A catback, on the other hand, is the best way to improve your exhaust flow and get a better exhaust note without adding pricy headers or removing your cats. That being said, a turbo-back exhaust will give you the most rewarding results because it changes the entire stock exhaust system to deliver big power gains. Ultimately, the choice is up to you and what your goal is. There is no right or wrong answer. Do your research and check out some sound clips on the Web before committing to any one system.

#3 ECU Reflash

Now that we have covered intakes and exhaust systems, let’s discuss the next step. If you want your Evo X to experience the higher power gains from these mods, you will more than likely need a retune too. After all, no engine modifications are complete without the proper tuning. With tuning, air/fuel ratio, ignition timing, boost, throttle response, torque and rev limiters, and several other parameters can be changed. As you continue to mod your Evo X, it is important to reflash your ECU so that the mods can be accounted for appropriately and no issues arise from stock limitations. 

VR Tuned offers an ECU flash for your Mitsubishi Evo X, which will take it from 295 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque to 330 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. Our VR tune is available for your standard modded Evo X with parts such as an intercooler, intake pipe, blow-off valve, and exhaust system. With an ECU tune, you will achieve better performance on the engine overall as well as an improvement on the power curve. Your car will experience a much better throttle response all the way to the redline. Your newly flashed Evo will pick up quicker and push harder through the mid- to top-end RPM range, where your current vehicle proves sluggish.

#4 Suspension Kit Upgrade

Switching up your Evo X’s suspension will give it a more aggressive look as it grips the road better and allows you to adjust it as needed. The aftermarket houses a plethora of suspension upgrades, including lowering springs, coilovers, and air ride systems. Ultimately, the decision is up to you and one that you should make while keeping important factors in mine like budget, intended vehicle use, pros, cons, and limitations. Let’s first take a look at the lowest cost option, which is lowering springs. A good set of lowering springs will start in the mid-$200 range and can go all the way up to $500. Springs can improve handling characteristics and offer the lowered look you want, but they won’t be the best for heavy track use and are probably not matched with your Evo’s springs and struts.

The next available option is a coilovers setup, which gives you the ability to lower your car significantly while still maintaining a quality ride without going up to an air bag system. Not all coilovers are equal and many of the super cheap options can actually decrease your car’s performance. It is, therefore, important to purchase coilovers from a reputable company, where the product has been chassis, road, and track tested to guarantee optimal performance. There are a number of high-quality coilovers that offer adjustability in ride height, spring preload, and damper, if you are looking for those features. There are also several kits that boast a sporty yet comfortable spring and damper set that is great for both daily and aggressive driving. When done right, coilovers not only improve your car’s stance and appearance but also lowers its center of mass for better handling and flatter cornering ability. 

Last but not least, installing an air ride system on your Evo X is a pretty sweet option if your budget allows for it. Prices typically start in the $2,000 range and go up depending on the options and installation costs. Air bags are great if you want a super low car that can also be raised up when necessary. Air suspension is extremely popular among stance crews because it is great for car shows. You can ride at a comfortable height the way there and then slam your car down before the judges make their rounds. The adjustable modes also prove extremely beneficial when entering parking garages and going over speed bumps.

#5 Carbon Fiber Aero Parts

Adding some carbon fiber goodies to your Evo X will not only improve its exterior appearance but also improve its aerodynamics. Whether you want to install a full (wide) body kit or just a spoiler here or there, the aftermarket offers a slew of options for you to get the look you want along with the reduced weight benefits. After all, getting rid of weight is a go-to method for improving any vehicle’s performance without having to tweak the engine. Replacing the stock parts with quality carbon fiber pieces or ground effects kits, where possible, can deliver considerable weight savings that translate to improved aerodynamics and, thus, better performance overall. 

Carbon fiber, particularly, is a popular material because of its lightweight and equally strong properties. Other benefits of carbon fiber include its distinct appearance, high stiffness, high-heat tolerance levels, and corrosion-resistance properties. Apart from the distinct appearance, excellent strength, high stiffness, corrosion resistance properties, and high heat tolerance properties- this material is packed with tons of other benefits too.

Another important trait of carbon fiber is that it can be molded into virtually any shape, making it versatile for use in body parts, engine components, vehicle wraps, and more. There are several different options out there that can take your Evo X’s appearance to the next level, including hoods, front lips, canards, rear spoilers, wings, side skirts, fenders, and complete widebody kits. While many of the aerodynamic benefits won’t necessarily be felt in everyday driving, they do prove beneficial on the track, when cornering, and at higher speeds.

[heretherebeechoes]

Where there is no echo there is no description of space or love. There is only silence." - MZ Danielewski - House of Leaves

Her words splattered oddly into view. It was a line from one of her bedside novels. The words weighed nothing but pinballed around in the nooks of his mind. He didn’t get it, does the type of echo change your description of both space and love? And must you keep on echoing or you’ll only know silence? And don’t you first need silence to hear the echoes? That’s what the orange people near the beach told her. One with eyes crossed in very wrong directions struck a match against his head and told her to listen to the silence of the crackling fire. This made zero sense to them both. He reminisced about judging the crazies with her again, laughingly coast-walking and finding a spot to weave.

But there were other obligations. Ophelia. She’s dead. He loaded her body into the Disuniter, unintentionally caressing her feet as he pushed it to the head of the table, carefully sliding it home. He cleared the breach and pushed, firmly, the Bond Deficit key. And with that, there was no longer an earthly Ophelia. His associations shifted, new and old maps were enmeshed, columns entwined with a spidering of retrievals.

Installation Counsellors had instructed how quickly associations would be made and also how quickly they would set as in concrete, particularly once any data streams stopped. Antic had data on Ophelia since birth, health and wellbeing parameters, mood detection events, fluid readings, ambient skin temperatures, complex, fully tweaked and parameterised predictive models. Near-on a century of human encoding, physically disentangled. Now, there was only silence.

The instructions received that morning in Antic’s Torpid Brief were, however, clear. Things weren’t like in the old sci-fi movies where stiff and clanky metallic beings were given stiffer and clankier procedures to follow. In clear terms, instructions for The Research were delivered.

Insasse Antic, Your duties to Partner Ophelia are thus released.

Locate and Affix to your home-based Daily Driver to ensure continuity of power supply for the period of Rumination.

Be eminent,

Medial - Notifier

Antic lifted his eyes. The hallways never felt more empty. He dazed from the basement through the apartment and into his charging room, umbilicalling himself to the machine that would ’feed the Medial’, resisting the urge to emote facially lest his head crack open. It was inauspicious for what the executives had unilaterally described to all and sundry as a momentous event in human history. There was a part of him that felt miffed. Ophelia’s family had long since extricated themselves from the house. Although who amongst us would love to watch this inanimate Rube push the body of their dearly departed relative into a gigantic chemical compactus? He’d been with Ophelia her entire life and, thus relegated, he was returned to being a piece of equipment.

A grumpy tech named Michael appointed him with Aldebaran solicitudes and fusion scoring collocations, communicating via grimaced expression that he would need the ability to think and feel. Just equipment, that’s all. With his new powers, Antic did sense his discomfort even before they were ingratiated into his View. The man did say to use the new skills responsively. And then he cried.

Antic swirled and squatted into a corner of the room and, as per the brief, Ceased. His brain whirred, cyclonic snaps and crackles and pops. Prior briefs become concrete. With Ophelia, he documented many pieces of advice acting as guiding lights for her, reflecting the man her father was and lighting the path ahead. Beware of all enterprises requiring new clothes. It’s never your extravagances you regret, only your economies. When people show you who they really are, believe them.

But then there were the bruising questions emanating from up on high, from Central. What do you, Antic, think should make up the personality of Next? What experiences and events in a person’s life do you, Antic, think are the important ones and which ones do you, Antic, think Next should structure their life to avoid? He needed something to do. Quickly.

The outside world faded, replaced with billions of dangling nodes in View. Bulbous and jiggling, pregnant with a synthetic yellow-ish fluid. Antic ran some first-pass deep agglom engines, just quick ones to reduce the noise. The nodes clustered and curtained sideways with a whoosh. As the bulbs moved closer some coalesced forming bigger drops. The available number of nodes dramatically reduced. This was a relatively fast process, only taking a couple of days.

The heavy lifting is, however, not done by the clustering but by the fusion senses, otherwise known as Agency Spiders, intricately coded creatures whose job was to calmly knit a network and build a topology of mountains and valleys from all the data. Antic loosed the algo upon the landscape before him, thousands and millions of trapezing crawlers inched across the lines holding each cluster of dangling nodes. They weaved connections between the nodes and threw lines between clusters, tapping the bulbous masses with their needled feet and lassoing related themes together. The agents wriggled along the length of each cluster, knitting an ultrastructure around them, performing a similar task to Myelin in neurons. Between-node communication speeds were dramatically increased.

Although the agents were machines like him, Antic felt a parent-like satisfaction watching them work. Good boys, you’re helping daddy very much.

The agents weaved strands into rope, rope into fibres, fibres into a flat matted fabric that stretched and creaked with wooden shipping sounds. Their painstaking work would take weeks.

The final staging-point was even bigger, one of imbuing meaning and breathing life into the landscape. Lip-shape and distance, heart-rate, blood flow, eye and pupil measurements, skin conductance, time-stamped and intertwined with The Entire History Database, these suffused events with flesh and bone. Antic could infer everything from Ophelia’s most terrifying moment to her top-5 favourite words to how much her feelings about Christmas held court over her life.

Even things she might have tried to obfuscate, hide or deny to herself inflated like an embarrassed emergency slide. The first kiss with the handsome shyboy next to the Woodville football oval, hiding in the trees like gawky owls. Her larynx dilation said no but her biophysicals cried proceed. She was contrite enough when Nana busted her watching a hairy porno but her pupils and circulation told another tale.

From these strands, Antic was able to reconstruct word building blocks, then entire words, then sentences and eventually infer entire dialogue. With a convulsion and a whip, the landscape was gut-punched into life. Antic ceased vibration and stabilised. He surveyed a painful glittering array of yellow roads and green streaks, valleys, wells and tributaries, heaving and breathing. The vista before him was alive with connections that he floated above, a sainted view from atop an invisible mountain.

He felt the pressure from the landscape on hischest, simultaneously magnetic and repulsive. He speedily hashed some code to govern flight parameters and floated forward looking down. The landscape responded to his presence, writhing beneath him, tickled and teased the faster he moved. It was almost giggling back at him. He reached out his arms to massage the quivering mass beneath and it reached back.

It rolled underneath the sensors within his hands. His eyes widened at his developing sense of....touch was it? People, real people, had laid their hands upon him daily but Antic had never been really touched before. It was orders of magnitude more electric than electricity. It pulled away and ejected his spine. The yearning was violent and immediate. More of that, please! The more he wanted it, the more it responded. Yearning back at him.

A cosy-looking mound caught the corner of his scan. Hygge as the Finns say. It was pulsating upward and blowing kiss bubbles, like a magical wind escaping a cloak. He drew closer and reached out, its doughnutty lips unfurled around his hand. Antic felt it squeezing, an elephant’s trunk that lightly kissed his fingers. Peace swept through Antic like a nuclear winter. The more he pushed against the doughnut, the more it gave. Antic dived in and was consumed by pure whiteness. He came to, looked down and saw a female form.

Ophelia!

--

She was sure they had her best interests at heart. All the guidance benefactors gathered in their masses, enveloping her and blocking the sun. As she came to the end of her schooling, like buzzards on gizzards, they feasted on the flesh around her fragile bones. They probably thought they were protecting her but instead, their words abolished a way forward, tearing the muscle off her legs and the wings off her back.

What grew instead was a pernicious form of scar tissue called doubt. Her dreams were incinerated then the rains washed them away. Oh, she tried to rage against the dying of her own light but, like their doubts, hers were reasonable. Not that reasonable is necessarily good, you see. If they ever knew, Ophelia wondered, how much I question myself in their name, maybe they’d give me more than a moment or two.

The time had come to put down choices for university and Ophelia’s mind was aflame sotto voce. Into the room, a half-circle lecture theatre, all the other potentials lined up against the walls shuffling as refugees from childhood. Ophelia looked around and saw flat faces. One’s nose usually leads the way but theirs were devoid of features and bereft of direction.

No-one else was looking at each other, they just quietly walked from the top of the lecture theater, between rows of chairs with those funny half-tables you only saw on American sitcoms, toward a single bench in the middle of the room.

She could see older people, presumably knowing what to do, half-smiling as the ghosts of children signed into classes, stepping into their adult shells, ruefully rubbing their eyes, blinking and dazed asking where am I. She wasn’t sure she would remember her own bloody signature, let alone pick a future. A signature, for that matter, was foisted upon her, seemingly, solely to get a bank deposit and hire videos.

Ophelia made her way to the table and observed the flabby jowls of the designated Official Person with a boxful of logo’ed pens to exchange for their futures. The half-smile hadn’t shifted an atom since she was at the top of the room. There was jostling behind her - get on with it.

Ophelia was muted by the image in her head of a top-hatted and caped figure leaping out from inside the half-grinner upon pen touching paper, bellowing "Aha, gotcha now!" Some were lucky. Her best friend was all set to sign on for computer science but upon being confronted with the pen and the paper, had an instapiphany and signed on to Geology because he remembered liking it as a kid. Lucky bitch.

Ophelia wanted to put down anything but science. Music. Archeology. Drama. Medicine. Real estate. Everyone she knew who talked about, taught or worked in science seemed so miserably reasonable. Every other job seemed to have an emblem denoting action. A fire fighter’s face says let’s go and a dancer’s moves cry let go. The image of a scientist, labcoat and glasses, is a lament. Hide me from the danger.

Ophelia’s pen hit the paper and stopped. Nothing. She felt the buzzards again, crowding the sunlight, rapaciously scanning every square inch of her body. She felt vulnerable and pulled her jacket more tightly to her body. The fabric was cutting into her arms, her one white-hot thought was how hard she could bite before shattering teeth. Maybe she could bite the shards into her gums and make a busted fire hydrant of her blood until she fainted. No such luck. She was still conscious.

She wrote "Bachelor of Science" in a language she didn’t understand. The half-smiler indicated a direction to walk away, handed her a pen and looked away. The tension receded but not somewhere good as she elbowed herself out of everyone’s way.

The knife-edge of her imagination was forever dulled.

--

The dream detonated and Antic found himself tumbling out of the landscape, legs and other bits flailing. Antic attempted to neatly curl into his own shell and forlornly waited until the spinning stopped. He extended his extremities one-by-one as his visor bumbled with blue question marks bouncing down hills. He attempted to wind his way through the logic and silence all the alarms.

Yes, yes, push the gyros back in, shut down the vibration index, increase the side thrust, shimmy the rectifiers and re-jiggle all the things.

...OK...

Antic’s eyes narrowed and spun as he slowly floated down to the surface. Movement of the landscape invited a breeze that he hadn’t noted before. It breathed, cracked and broke into leaves which spiralled around his arms. He allowed them to funnel through his fingers as a circle, skiiing over his knuckles, scraping and tickling him.

He felt activation of his Hebb’s codebase, a somewhat developmental code lain dormant until the upgrade, and warmed. New routines always tickled. His SOM hierarchies immediately re-oriented from quite a primitive pattern recognition modalities to advanced pattern activation as his world transitioned from 3D to something more akin to 45D. He felt bits flipping throughout the entirety of his shell, reverberating like a corpuscular hallway scream.

To put it into a single word or sentence, he just felt.....a heck of a lot more.

--

“Y’know it isn’t fair.”

“What isn’t?”

“Expectations. All I’m doing is being nice.”

“So?”

“Yeah well they think I’m a goddess at first. Like, oh mygod, she’s the one! The one I’ve been waiting for. Better than all the other ones, this one is THE ONE. Show people a little politeness, flash a little intellect, even just pretend you’re listening by asking some questions and bam, love.”

“Like what sort of questions?”

“Like nothing! Like "Oh, reallyyyy? That sounds terrible.

How did it make you feel?" Small talk.”

“And they’re in love?”

“Instantly. “

“Oh shit you poor thing. People love you straight away.

That must be rough.”

“Nah you’re not getting it. People just don’t know what a real person is like any more. I don’t know if it’s because we see so many fake ones on Insta or TV or whatever but no-one sees real people any more. People with normal flaws. Or sad once in a while just because.”

“Or someone who just does stupid shit because they didn’t feel like thinking that day.”

“Exactly! No-one has flaws, they have red flags. You’re not sad, you’re clearly depressed. You’re not mad, you’ve got anger issues. You’re not drunk, you have a drinking problem.”

“So you say the problem is pathologising people too much?”

“Hmm, too thinky. I’m saying we don’t see people, just an assemblage of aspects. A tick-and-flick form. Check, check, check, scoring function applied, okay, now I know you. Surface stuff. “

“Yeah yeah, so what? People are superficial jerks.”

“So what? It just annoys me because I always gotta play catch-up.”

“What?!”

“Nah I mean it. Like I said, so many fall early. They got this image in their minds from all the fake shit they see about what an ideal girlfriend looks like. So if I’m a little polite, actually do a bit of listening, talk about the fun stuff I’ve done, instantly I’m perfect. Especially if I tease them a bit, they just think I’m being super honest.”

“Christ you’re smug. “

“You’re still not getting it! It means I start at 100%. You realise how shit that is? Ever try to maintain perfection?”

“Nup. It’s impossible.”

“It’s not impossible, it’s non-sensical. What’s a ’good’, ’bad’ or whatever person is totally in the eye of the beerholder, if you know what I mean.

There is no perfect person because, a person, a real flesh-and-blood walking-around-and-doing-the-shopping-person, they can’t be perfect.”

“So one person thinks you’re perfect for them. Y’know, that old saying about being one person in the world but the world to one person. How is that bad exactly, you cocky mole?”

“Because it’s impossible to maintain even if that’s true. I have shitty parts to me, like everyone else. But when starting from perfection, there’s only one way to go. Even a minor flaw is judged way more harsh. "Oh....God, really? You’re like that? You slammed the door just because you had a bad day at work? I think you’ve got a problem..."

"Mmm hmmm..."

"They’ve fallen in love with the image, not with me. And a small crack on a clean slate looks really bloody obvious. So they judge me for minor, normal flaws and I judge them for believing in the image. All of sudden, wow, there’s a cloud of judgy pessimism hanging over us. I end up taking a deep breath, here we go again, bloody hell. “

“Yeah it’s rough.”

“No it really is. Makes me feel like shit for having perfectly acceptable flaws, like being a bit grumpy sometimes or not giving a fuck about one-month anniversaries. So I’m playing catch-up just to get back to human in their eyes. Some drug dealer doing a night course to be a sparky gets more credit than me, poor sod who didn’t quite live up to perfection.

"Mmm."

"And the worst part is that personality pluses or minus’s don’t make an interesting person anyway. It’s all the meta facets, shit which the pluses and the red flags feed into from experience and just thinking through things. It’s what someone does with their shit parts, that’s what builds character, not whether they’re there in the first fucking place. “

“Hmmmm, yeah. I mean, I don’t wanna bring up the past....”

“Nah go, it’s okay.”

“But yeah, your Dad was a violent arsehole. Manipulative too. Still remember that time, eh? At your 12th birthday, ya mum ran in after some bloke wanked himself a the phonebox and he said "Was he bigger than me, ya slut?"”

“Yep. Proper arsehole.”

“Surely seeing that shit all the time and when he smashed your Mum, all that, it must be in you a little bit yeah?”

“Sure. Sometimes.”

“But I never see you react like that. You act fair with people, don’t judge, be nice, keep cool. “

“Yeah it’s all there but it’s what you do with the shit stuff, that’s the stuff I reckon people should be judging. All your good and bad parts are mixed in there, they sorta melt together as you get older. And that’s how it should be, you should learn from your mistakes, not just keep doing them.

"Yup."

"How someone channels the bad things that got into your head first, that’s the real stuff. Someone who acts perfect is really just better at covering up.

"Say it!"

"Yeah! Judge the melted parts! I’m not gonna date someone who’s sweet as pie 95% of the time but then a car-crash bitch when she gets a speeding ticket. I am, however, going to fuck the tits off someone who knows their triggers so they don’t get there in the first place and can bring themselves back from the ledge.”

“Ophie, you sure do know how to the get to the beating heart of a problem...... and then flush it down the toilet. What a way to put it.”

“Thanks baby.”

He was alive. Antic noted his surroundings and perceived only one change, a picture of Ophelia was now hanging on the wall. She was standing with her arms draped over his shoulders, an elbow upon his breastplate, her chin upon his. Maybe Ophelia’s brother put it up. He always said he’d steal Antic. A communique was incoming.

AWARE

Nr. 1

AUTH: jhdskKKSDU?$&D

Insasse Antic,

Your Rumination has ended, your period of Cease has with it, Reformation is Active. You are now in Actualise. Attend Center. Choose Next.

Be wise,

Medial - Notifier

Oh God. I need more time.

He drew his eyes down, paused, then painted the road ahead brick-by-stone. He felt the image of Ophelia drawing away. Now, he had nothing but lonely decades on tape. He was nowhere and nothing but an appliance. He left the house. For good this time.

Voluminous quietude descended upon Antic as he floated along streets. Pensive whirring of actuators and motors, harmonising with the whoosh of river spray and leaf patter as corner bled into corner. Streets flowed into roads. The hush in Antic’s mind gave the illusion of being still and a tense hum of vibration. His vacant moment melted stones underfoot. He rounded the final corner to Center and saw their motto on the side of the building, "Excellence is Routine". It reminded him of the old quote about sinning against God, rather than bureaucracy.

The script was burdeningly clear to him, Next must be 100% perfect. He stared gloomily at the sign, channelling the dismay of another nation. Antic swayed around a corner of the building and spotted two battered metal doors, down a small flight of steps, flecks of red paint slashed along the edges. They lightly chattered as he inched closer then swung open with a fluid motion and a lovely little squeak. He leaned back a little and glared at his RFID module. Traitor.

He haunted the corridors, taking wrong turns even though he knew they were wrong. He was avoiding making any decisions for as long as it wasn’t clear to others that he was avoiding making a decision. He ruefully rubbed his eyes, they felt gritty. Let go or let’s go, let it go, let her go. Geyser-like, something welled up inside and Antic, literally, screamed: HOW. DO. I. CHOOSE.

Heads whipped around and Antic’s emotional bucket was filled to a new high water mark of shame. He froze.

"Heyyyyyy, looks like this one’s got a screw loose. How are you Antic? Looking well I see, very much a robot in nature, yes? (quickly, quickly, lets blow)."

Jostled by his first human contact in almost a year, the man before him was a rangy type. Gaunt but with eyes that bounced inside steaming sockets and a fireplace voice. He was wearing a name badge that said Dr. Redfoot.

He jerked Antic away from the milieu and into a nearby room. As he bent down, his knees made plumber crackles, a double act with his clicking tongue.

"Alright sir, let’s have a look at you, my boy. Tell me, Antic, how do you feel?"

"I am a lever without a fulcrum."

"Ah yes, quite an articulate.... coldly logical way to put it. Umm, so, you feel unbalanced, yes?"

"Yes"

"Well that is to be expected, your mind is a mess. Your only cogent instructions have been to take what you know and plough it into producing perfection. Oo, that rhymed. Proper Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance! Hah, from my aviation memory too! Errm, anyway. Rough gig, wouldn’t you say?"

"Sir. I mean, I’m sorry, Dr Redfoot, I believe, that is to say, I strongly think that I lack the data to draw conclusions."

"Nonsense! You’ve had nigh-on a century of experience and and some months to analyse literal mountains of data. You’re positively overflowing with it! I should know, I imprinted part of the valley algo myself."

Redfoot drew a lawless grin at that line.

"Then why do no conclusions draw themselves?"

"The heart of why you’re here, my boy, is because humans have frailties, irrationalities and faults that somewhat preclude objective decision-making about what a unflawed human being would look like. We cannot know because our very faculties for knowing anything are flawed, you see?"

"I guess so."

"It’s easy for us humans to decide on the flaws which are unacceptable but us crazy humans also tend to deny that we possess perfectly acceptable flaws too, especially the ones we possess that perhaps can still get us somewhere

in life.

For you, dear robot, the very point is objectivity. A data-driven way to see the flaws we can’t directly observe but accept anyway. Adding in emotions via the Hebbs was really all about model training and stress testing. Little more than that. It really does seem to have thrown you off-kilter, though, eh?"

"I feel different. I don’t want to do it. I hate this game."

"And well you might not. Maybe a little humanity has gotten in there, eh? Of course I’m joking. There’s no need to pout, though, my boy. It’ll work out."

"Will Next be the endgame?"

"My word, no! We wouldn’t give the ability to create the actual human to the very first experiment! That is, of course, the intention but your decisions will be analysed prior to any genetic shenanigans."

"What."

"Mmmm, I’m sorry were you not told? You know, for a society which has never been more connected, we sure are lousier than ever at communic-"

"But...... does that not mean you, as humans, are still encoding your flaws in the decision? And what happens if you don’t like my decisions?"

"Haven’t seen any paperwork on that. Oh well, there’s a life lesson in humanity and bureaucracy, I guess. Still, that’s your job and we all have one to do."

With all the big words, Redfoot was making steeple hands and practising his power co-mu-ni-ca-tion. He whipped and silenced his very own Ted audience. Then he drew his attention back to Antic.

"In your case, it is to identify the flaws in (what was her name again...ahh, Ophelia). You must isolate, capture and remove them all, yes?"

"Now, speaking of the very task ahead of you, you have but one further step, Antic, and that is to updown your data for us to pore over it until the cows come home or, at least, until I go home. Anyhow, follow me to the updown room."

Redfoot was practising his corporate movements as he walked, trying hard to stay in the box and to avoid jazz hands. Antic rustedly glided behind him and into a room with a perfunctory computing set-up that was trying a little too hard to be inconspicuous. It was nothing like the movies. For a momentous first-in-world-history-ever event, canon dictated a huge computer, wheels whirring

with noise and flashing green lights, men in coats clapping and hollering that nothing will be the same again. First prize!

Nope.

Just a medium-sized grey block with nondescript manufacturer stickers. And a cable.

Another new feeling. Underwhelmed.

"Ah yes, you’ll need to cable uplink for this one, Antic. Can’t risk even a single missed bit, of course. Well, here’s where we part ways, seems odd to say good luck but here goes anyway - good luck!"

"Thank you, Dr Redfoot. I will do what I feel....what is right."

Redfoot departed. He turned his head and paused for a moment in the hallway before sauntering away, practising purposeful gestures. Antic was alone again. He was irritated too. Mainly at Redfoot’s reaction to being asked about his Next. He wasn’t annoyed at the news of the dry-run but that Redfoot had the nerve to be surprised by it.

He gingerly plugged in the cable. Hearing every scratch and feeling every scrape as the data left his case and bounced down it gave him the heebee jeebees. A hologram sprang to life before him and reverse melted into a mould of Kid Ophelia. With each sweeping pass of the data filter, the image of her became more and more detailed. Every coarse piece of her face was snapped into progressively finer detail with every iteration.

Layers of colour were added and the image began to animate. At first jerkily but then human-like movements as historical data about Ophelia was updown’d. Her arms were moving as if she was swimming. She stopped flapping, gazed back at Antic and smiled. Antic realised the movements were not at all random but reciprocal. He fidgeted and waved at Ophelia. She waved back.

The landscape of the hologram burbled and yawed as first he little girl grew into a teenager, a young adult and then into a woman. Then into an older woman as the data flowed apace. The completion of Ophelia the model ushered in a series of options into Antic’s visual field. They were mapped separately to her cortical landscape, as was generated in Rumination. Buttons, icons, sliders and plots altering the topology of the landscape.

An interface to the hologram of Ophelia was tethered directly to it. A random button press and the hologram became Ophelia at age three. The first thing she tried to do was tug on Antic’s fingers. Antic reflexively reached out but her hand went right through his fingers and she began to cry.

A plaintive mahhhh left his mouth and, with an abrupt new selection, the teenage Ophelia appeared and waved. Antic recognised her Tuesday morning lecture dress.

"Hi Antic! Oh my God, how are you?!"

"Well. How are your studies?"

"So good! I’m learning so much chemistry. I feel like, you know, this is the real deal now. High school was the warm-up but university is the real show. Finally finding out the real story!"

"You....like it?"

"Yeah of course! You know I’ve always liked science. Don’t you remember how I mixed everything together in the chem set Mum gave me?"

He sure did. Antic also remembered her callow disappointment when it formed nothing but a powdery sludge in the bottom of her test-tube. He saw the opportunity to right a wrong.

His eyes were drawn to the wheezing landscape. He blithely pushed a few sliders which sped up the rate of bubbles. Connections shifted again the landscape began to shift like jello. New buttons and sliders bubbled and materialised. A stooping Ophelia appeared and spoke again.

"Know what, Antic? I’m actually pretty darn bored with this uni stuff. Who would choose to spend all their time in a smelly synthesis lab anyway? I’m outta here and I’ll tell Mum as soon as she gets home."

Ah. Too far.

Antic’s focus shifted to a mendacious-looking column rising out of the flats and far above the rest of the landscape. A single button, bubbling next to hundreds of others, practically begged to be pushed. A grin left him as he did.

Ophelia appeared before him wearing a crushed purple dress, dyed black hair with roots. Her eyes were reddened and wild. She looked like she hadn’t slept in a while.

"Antic! My God. I’m so glad you’re here! You look shinyyyy, not like the usual scruff. I’m just kidding of course. Look can you do me a favour?"

"Of course."

"I want you to send a message to Nadia."

"Who is Nadia?"

"Oh you know, we work together. She’s dating my ex-girlfriend Shannon. Remember her?"

"Yes I do"

"Great! Well just let her know that Shannon left her phone under my bed the other night so I have it if she’s looking for it. Poor dear was in such a state, they’re having some problems, you see, so she really did need to chat. Anyway, just let her know, I have her phone.

Oo! Also, the picture of Nadia on her phone is so cute! Yea tell her that!"

"I don’t know if it’s a good idea." "No, Antic, don’t be silly! Nothing happened! Nadia has absolutely nothing to worry about! She just needed to talk, that’s all. Nothing to it at all. Please? Send the message?"

"I don’t know if it’s a good idea."

"Nothing happened that Nadia needs to worry about. Please. Antic. Just send the message."

A feeling similar to what a field mouse in the field view of an Eagle coursed through him. He quietly moved a slider back to its original position. The column shortened a little but the landscape did not revert. It looked like now it never would. So he experimented a little.

Morphing the landscape into shapes that removed Ophelia’s cynicism made her a messy, doe-eyed doormat, others that calmed doubts resulted in a wing-suited risk-taking psychopath. Occasionally quite random, such as when he shed her sometimes prickly exterior and she was dealing crack cocaine to footballers from the East.

A futile bid to reset to the usual Ophelia was thwarted when she crumpled into a homicidally jealous harpy at the mention of her younger sister, Valerie (with an ’i’). Or an Anime-loving shut-in at the merest mention of her father.

There was a mischievous little girl, threatened with a hoe by the old Italian immigrant behind the back fence for throwing stones at his windows. A newly-legal woman who got a $30 lapdance on her 18th and bought a packet of cigarettes but didn’t smoke a single one.

There was the time she nearly drowned but breathed nary a word to anyone about how scared she was and the year of nightmares that followed.

He threw his hands in the air. He pushed every button on the screen. He impotently tore out the cable and wrapped it around his neck, tightening it and making a squishy eeeee sound. He picked up an empty plastic coffee cup and slapped it to the floor. He looked away, saw a spiderin the corner of the room and threw a pen at it but missed. He pouted again. Fuck it.

INVESTIGATION SIGNAL:

QUERY Nr. 2876423

AUTH: /&%"/8787623i

Insasse Antic,

Data acquisition is complete,

decision is at Zero. Choose Next.

Be wise,

- Center.

A tenebrous combination of unease and grumpiness dominated his thoughts. The time pressure irked and there was so much of the landscape left to explore. They want a better person with incomplete data? Let them decide! Without him.

He folded his arms and performed his best pout yet. Minimising bad flaws caused new ones, maximising desirable factors destroyed flaws that were sometimes desirable and doing nothing revealed characteristics he never knew about that demanded exploration. Even being around her for virtually every tongue-lashing and toilet break, he’d managed to miss so much.

Antic didn’t believe in God but now he missed him. He thought of all the things that had happened to him over the years. He also thought of how little he had made happen himself.

His shoulders relaxed as the thought burned unbridled through him. He jettisoned a giggle as he took a long look at the landscape, at all the frigid sliders and buttons. He whipped his head around and caught his reflection on the wall. He didn’t dare ask it any questions.

Antic left the room, slinked around a corner, down the hall and, as he did, he felt the sound and the fury of footsteps and minds osmoting into the room he’d left behind. Malnourished necks craned from behind office doors and spoke in hushed tones, has he finished yet?

Shuffled feet and low voices were supplanted by rising concern and more voice, untrammelled by the ticking of the bomb. Rising above the din, Antic heard a familiar voice from across the hallway.

"Looks like you’ve caused quite a stir there, Antic. Been a good day then eh? And it’ll be a great day to come for all of us too eh? How’s your Next?"

He took another moment and thought about offering some blandishment about how he’d tried his best or some self-indulgent whine about the whole experiment, that Central was not the God he missed but an absentee landlord. And nature abhors a vacuum.

"Perfectly acceptable."

₪ = asking them out for dinner . (so many choices, though...)

[ super old meme ][ the first date ][ @pxrtgasdace ]

It was their first official date ever, weeks after the illegal adoption of their daughter. It had taken a lot of trouble to align their schedules to match before they settled on a date and location. Despite the bold feats both men had tackled throughout their lives, with regards to a date, both had turned shy and skirted around the topic for months. They did go out to dinner on a regular basis, obviously, but it was never anything fancy. A simple picnic. Stopping for fast food. It was always… casual.

And then, one day, Ace popped the question --- without a ring. Law didn’t know whether he ought to be relieved or disappointed by the lack of a proposal. Not that he wanted to marry Ace but … what were Ace’s feelings about him? Where did they stand? Where was their relationship going, if that was even a thing? Was it going places? Or backtracking to square one and with no ideal futuristic prospect? Either way, Law agreed to the dinner invitation without hesitation. Of course, Law insisted on picking the place. Law used the opportunity, since Ace had raised the question, to suggest a fine-dining restaurant serving exorbitant Italian cuisine. Now, Law recognized that Ace was the furthest from the fine-dining, high-class crowd. However, Law wanted the evening to be something… special. Ace deserved better than McDonalds and Pizza Hut day in, day out. Unfortunately, it seemed like the universe was conspiring against them and his plans.

Everything that could go wrong had gone wrong that evening. To start of the catastrophic date, their babysitter was running late because her teacher had delayed her. Nevertheless, Law occupied himself with changing in and out of multiple ensembles until he was satisfied with his attire for the dinner. Meanwhile, Ace sang a lullaby to Strawberry while he stacked colourful building blocks into ceiling-high towers. The babysitter arrived shortly after with apologies and took over Strawberry from Ace. She cried and Ace lingered behind, until Law had to physically shove him out the door.

Dressed very dapper in sharp suits with orange and yellow shirts, Ace and Law headed to the elevator, only for the cursed elevator to break down midway on its descent. Ace held Law’s hand while they waited patiently in the dark with Law’s finger jabbing persistently on the alarm button. They (mostly Law) spent a good deal of time griping about the fault of the elevator and how it was time to move out and look for a new apartment. Thankfully, they were relieved by contractors within an hour’s wait. With hindsight, Law should have called up the restaurant to change the timing of their reservation, but it had completely slipped his mind. Instead, they strode to the carpark, Ace with a relaxed smile and Law with a dour expression.

The annoying hindrance resulted in them taking the drive through peak hour, during which traffic was an insufferable nightmare. Cars lined the roads for miles and miles. Horns blared noisily and fingers were flipped. Law considered abandoning their car while he drummed his fingers restlessly on the wheel and fixed an ever-present frown on his face. Nonetheless, they passed the time by chatting. Ace dug out his phone and scrolled through a gallery of hundreds and hundreds of photos of Strawberry. Most were selfies he’d taken with her, both their cheeks squeezed together to fit into the frame that captured them at the most unglamorous angles. Law cracked a genuine smile.

Eventually, traffic moved along. Law drove them through the city. He took some sharp turns and swerved to avoid a car on his blind side before they spotted the restaurant up ahead. Alas, Law circled the area for minutes and found no place to park. Undeterred, Law parked a few blocks away. Lo and behold, by the time they climbed out the car and started down the street, thunder roared and a downpour followed with remarkable speed. Without shelter above their heads, Ace and Law made a mad dash across the road. A car screeched to a stop to narrowly avoid running them over. The driver cursed angrily before speeding off.

Saved from an A&E visit, Ace and Law hurried toward the restaurant and arrived drenched to the skin. A black-faced doorman greeted them with disdain. He informed them brusquely that their reservation had been cancelled since they were over ninety minutes late.

Law’s expression darkened and he shot the doorman a scowl. Ace sensed Law tense up beside him and quickly patted Law’s shoulder, suggesting that they go somewhere else. Law stood unmoving for a moment in contemplation. In the end, he shook his head and dragged Ace toward the queue.

The queue, like the earlier peak hour traffic, seemed to stretch on for ages. Condescending gazes followed them from the queue of uppity patrons. Law ignored their looks as Ace and he joined the back of the queue. Both hunched and hugged their arms from the cold while they waited. Ace’s stomach growled pitiably and Law frowned. However, Ace fished out his phone again and continued showing off the photos he had snapped of Strawberry in various costumes and dresses. The pictures appeased their upset and hunger while they bore with the excruciatingly long wait. A good solid hour passed before, as they shuffled toward the front of the queue, to Law’s horror, he realized that Ace was not wearing a tie.

Law’s jaw dropped. “Whe…Where’s your tie?”

“What?” Ace kept his eyes on his phone. “I hate wearing ties, you know that. Left mine back home on the coat rack… Why?”

“…You left wha…?” Law gaped. He specifically remembered tying Ace’s tie for him and spending precious time carefully picking out a tie that would match Ace’s suit. Ace took it off? How had he not noticed this before? “We can’t enter without a tie! The dress code demands a tie!”

Ace shrugged carefreely. “Then let’s go elsewhere. Plenty of other places around.”

Law’s expression twisted with disbelief. No way. They went to all the trouble and Ace wanted Law to just give up like that? No fucking way. “We’ll steal a tie.” Alas, easier said than done. A tie around someone’s neck couldn’t be stolen unless the victim was either unconscious or dead or held at knife or gunpoint. There were many witnesses standing around and Law didn’t wish to spend the night in jail. Thus, Law asked someone nicely, only to be refused rudely. Law offered to pay them some money for their tie. They considered this for a good while before they asked for a hundred bucks. Law glared. A hundred bucks? He flipped the guy off.

While the guy wailed about Law’s lack of manners, Law pulled Ace closer and leaned in to whisper. “Okay. I go in and I’ll tell them you’re arriving later. You wait out the back door until I come for you with the tie, all right?”

Ace obliged Law and started toward the back door.

Law waited until it was his turn to be ushered in by the doorman. He explained that Ace had to grab something from the car and would return later. The doorman bought his lie and showed Law to a table by the side. When all eyes were off him, Law snuck to the back door and passed Ace his tie.

Ace put on Law’s tie and made his way to the front entrance. The doorman gave him a sharp, searching look but eventually waved Ace into the restaurant. The plan worked. Ace joined Law at the table with a beam plastered on his face. His eyes gleamed with hungry anticipation.

Law smiled, because it seemed like everything would go smoothly, after all. How wrong, he was. A waiter marched over and handed them both menus to browse. Unfortunately, the waiter, an uptight middle-aged lady, glimpsed Law’s tieless attire and would not let the matter rest.

“Sir, I don’t know how you were allowed in, but you’re not allowed to dine here,” the waiter said in a pointed tone. She shook her head slowly and crossed her arms. Clearly, she was unimpressed by both Ace’s and Law’s crumpled suits that were still damp from the rain.

“I dirtied mine and took it off,” Law explained. “We were let in, so there shouldn’t be a pro---” Law’s eyes widened as angry flames lit up across their table. Ace had knocked over one of the candles. The waiter fled the scene.

In a desperate attempt to put out the fire, Ace grabbed a glass from a dining couple to their left. Without a second thought, Ace poured the contents of the glass over the flames. Unfortunately, what Ace assumed to be water turned out to be liquor. By then, the other customers shouted and screamed. Pandemonium broke out around their table and they hadn’t even opened the menus to glimpse their choices for dinner.

Ace and Law both leapt away from the table as a woman ran toward the fire. Armed with a fire extinguisher, the woman saved the night and promptly put out the flames.

“Do we get another table?” Law asked. He moved to stand beside Ace.

The woman, who turned out to be the manager, regarded them with a patronizing gaze. She eyed their wrinkled suits and Law’s lack of a tie and scrunched up her face. “My apologies, gentlemen. Either leave now, or pay for the damages, and then leave anyway. Our dress code is strictly enforced. We cannot make an exception, even if you are the Prime Minister.”

Law’s mood, already sour, became pitch black. Regardless, picking a quarrel and then later on having the cops called on them would make for an even more unpleasant night. Thus, Law grabbed Ace’s hand and stalked out of the restaurant, but not before scowling for a few seconds at the manager in irritation. Neither Ace nor Law chattered much during the drive home, though their stomachs protested with loud grumbles.

“…It’s all right, you know,” Ace said, glancing at Law in the car.

“It’s not all right,” Law muttered, keeping his eye on the road to avoid any mishap. Given their luck that evening, he wouldn’t be surprised if a vehicle collided with their car.

“We had fun, didn’t we?”

“Define fun.”

“Well… we singed the waiter’s eyebrows. Didja see?”

“…Right.” Law failed to stop a smile from spreading over his lips.

Fortunately, they returned home in one piece and the babysitter took their leave, though she was nice enough to apologize again for their date ending in disappointment. Law frowned again at the reminder of the restaurant’s discourtesy and stringent guidelines. How dare they turn away paying customers? Ass--- Ace placed Strawberry in Law’s arms. Strawberry’s face was covered in drool but she blurted “Faga” and “Dada” and Law’s tense expression melted in an instant. He cleaned Strawberry’s face while Ace went to fetch them dinner.

“Guess we’ve cereal and milk…?” Law called out into the kitchen.

“That’s all I need. I just need food, bro.” Ace emptied a box of fruit loops into a large mixing bowl.

Law flinched and froze up at the “bro” mentioned in such a casual manner. Nevertheless, he pushed it out of mind and joined Ace in the living area. Law placed Strawberry down on the sofa and plopped down beside her.

Ace handed Law his bowl of dry oats and sat on the other side of Strawberry. For a moment, there were only noises of Strawberry babbling and Ace slurping his fruit loops with milk.

Law spooned some oats and chewed languidly. His brows furrowed without his realization. While Ace told Strawberry, who understood not a single word, about their terrible evening, Law lost himself in his thoughts. What did Ace think of him? Were they just pretending to be a family? Playing house? He didn’t want to fall for Ace only for Ace to tell him he was just a “bro”. That would hurt. And yet, it was too late, wasn’t it…? He cared for the silly goof. Law didn’t know if what he felt toward Ace was love but… close?

Well, if it turned out it was one-sided, so be it. However, could he stay on, in that house, with Strawberry, and pretend he didn’t care for Ace and Strawberry as much as he soon would, inevitably? Perhaps he could try… to keep some distance. After all, the present circumstances were fine. Good. Even if they were just “bros” that occasionally cuddled and made out… Love had no absolute, concrete definitions, right? Why limit themselves? Even if Ace didn’t love him back, that didn’t mean he would be unhappy. It was fine… unless Ace left him and saw someone else. Then he wouldn’t be able to pretend any longer… In fact, he would probably be consumed with jealousy.

Ace finished his cereal well ahead of Law, who was still stirring it around aimlessly. Law dumped the uneaten oats and collected Ace’s bowl. He took the dishes to the sink while Ace tucked Strawberry into bed.

At the sound of running water from the bathroom, Law disrobed and stepped into the shower to join Ace. Law snuck up to Ace’s back and extended his arms. For the first time in months, Law instigated a hug, albeit one from behind.

“---Wah…? Roo?” Ace raised his brows and stiffened up. “What… Can’t you wait? Whaddya want…?”

Law pressed his lips together. He dipped his chin and planted kisses down Ace’s neck. “I… I’m sorry that turned out awry. The… date.” Law stepped back, his hands dropping back to his sides. “…Wanted to do something nice, but well…”

Ace turned to face Law with an expression of confusion.

Law finally raised his gaze to meet Ace’s eyes. Law smiled softly. “Happy Birthday… Portgas.” Law leaned toward Ace and kissed him gently on the lips before he backed out of the shower as quickly as he had gone in.

Top 10 Use-Cases of AI and Machine Learning in Fintech Industries

Nowadays, many companies are inclined to carry out advanced machine learning solutions along with custom AI solutions to stand tall in the competitive market. Analytics is essential to improve the bottom lines so that you can increase the efficiency of your business. With machine learning and AI, it is effortless to get some comprehensive strategies for analytics that will help you to run your business successfully. With a view to that, you must include the machine learning strategies in the data structure. In this article, we will talk about ten major uses of AI and machine learning in the Fintech industry. So keep on reading.

Top 10 Use-Cases of AI and Machine Learning

Here are the main uses of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Fintech industries—

Data security

For the digital transformation industry, malware comes like a big problem that is directly related to data security. According to the Kaspersky Lab report in 2017, it is said that every day they observed 360,000 malware files newly. However, Deep Instinct, an intelligent institutional firm, has reported that each of the new malware has a similar code as the earlier versions. The rate of changing files for different iterations is from 2 to 10%. The learning models can detect malware accurately. Also, there are some machine learning development companies that will help to access the information stored in clouds, and thus, they are able to report anomalies to indicate the breaches.

Personal security

Besides data security, personal security is also paramount, so it will be better to take help from artificial intelligence services to increase your personal security. For instance, if you are taking a flight, you will have to wait for security screening. Similarly, in a public event, you may have noticed the long lines for security screening. With advanced machine learning techniques, it will be easier to reduce false alarms.

Because human screeners are not always able to detect the spot things during security screening. So hiring a machine learning solution provider will be effective for implementing machine learning in security screening at stadiums, concerts, airports, etc. to speed up the screening process and organize an event safely.

Financial trading

Some AI development companies are there to assist you in financial trading. A large number of traders are interested in the share market, and they keep on predicting the ups and downs of the stock market on a particular day. With machine learning strategies, it will be easier to predict closely at any time.

Proprietary systems sometimes help to execute high volume trades at high speed, so some of the foremost firms look forward to this process. Trade with high volume or high speed can generate a large amount of profit even though the probability is low. Needless to say that humans are not able to match the machines in terms of consuming a huge amount of data and execute trades at high speed.

Healthcare

AI and machine learning technologies have a big role to play in healthcare and digital transformation.

Can You Dispute a Traffic Camera Ticket?

Have you ever opened a piece of mail, only to discover that you were caught on a traffic camera running a red light or speeding? Even though it might seem that a photograph is the ultimate form of evidence, there are still ways to dispute it.

By 2016, there were almost 4,000 red light cameras and over 1,400 speed cameras. While many of them are removed each year, there are also more installed daily.

While the hope is that these traffic cameras will make our streets safer, evidence shows that it’s still up for debate.

We all make mistakes, even on the road. But sometimes a photograph doesn’t necessarily prove that. Maybe you ran a yellow or had just realized you were speeding and were slowing down.

Either way, there are ways to fight traffic camera tickets. Keep reading to find out how you can dispute it.

What’s the Debate About?

While many studies show and claim that traffic cameras save lives, many drivers end up using a traffic tickets attorney to fight their claims. 

In an appeal to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2008, Chicago car owners claimed that the red light camera system violated the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th amendment.

These drivers had received $90 citations in the mail for running red lights, even though it had been other drivers driving their cars. The judges ruled against these drivers, saying that no one has the right to run a red light on a public street, regardless of who is driving.

Any other lawsuits brought against the government for traffic cameras have been disputed or dismissed. Thus, municipalities have the right to use red light and speeding cameras.

Who Uses Them?

There are 13 states which prohibit the use of speed cameras and 8 states which prohibit the use of red-light cameras. There are 20 states which permit some form of red-light camera use and 21 states who have no laws pertaining to the use of red light cameras at all.

In Florida, as it pertains to speed cameras, there are no laws or programs. However, as it relates to red light cameras, they are permitted for use statewide. The citation is always issued to the registered owner of the car, regardless of who is driving at the time of the photograph.

Traditional penalties typically amount to $158 with no points or $125 with 3 points.

Because red light cameras are used across the state of Florida, there is often a need for drivers to call a Florida traffic ticket attorney.

What Should You Do If You Receive a Traffic Camera Ticket?

If you open your mail and note that your car was photographed running a red light, the first thing you should do is look carefully at the ticket. Check the date, time, and location and determine whether or not it was you driving the car.

Take note of what section you are being accused of violating. Make sure that if your penalties are listed in the code section, that the code section violations match the fines assessed on your ticket.

Check for any dates and further instructions. Some will let you pay or dispute online, whereas some will require a court appearance.

Remember to abide by any specified dates. If you miss your window to pay, your fines could almost double. If you wait too long, your license could be suspended.

How Can You Dispute a Traffic Camera Ticket?

If you have determined that you were not the one driving your car at the time the ticket was taken, then you have reasonable cause to fight it. The prosecutor must prove that it was you driving the vehicle. If you weren’t the one driving, then be honest, and use the blurriness of the photo to contest that it was you.

If your license plate is not legible, you’ll have even more cause to fight the ticket. If the license plate is not clearly visible, then you really can’t be charged with the ticket at all.

In Florida, even though the owner of the vehicle is the first person deemed responsible for a ticket, they aren’t necessarily accountable if the prosecutor can’t prove that it was the owner of the car.

The device that takes photos is not always accurate. The enforcing agent should be able to provide evidence that the sensors and the camera were working accurately on the day in which the photo was taken. If they can’t do this, you may be able to suggest or claim a device malfunction.

What Was the Situation?

Even if the photo is clear and your license is visible, AND you admit that it was YOU driving the car, you may still be able to dispute the ticket. Driving is about following the rules and laws of the road. But it’s also about being able to adapt to any situation to be as safe as possible.

Maybe the day that you received your ticket, it was raining, and you determined that it was too slippery to make a complete stop. Perhaps you deemed that by running the red, you would eliminate the chance of sliding into the intersection where you may have caused an accident.

Demonstrate your avoidance to cause a crash or any other safety concerns you had at the time which inspired you to make the choice that you did.

You May Need a Lawyer to Help with a Traffic Camera Ticket

If you received a traffic camera ticket in error, or you believe that your reasons for running a light were valid, you have more than enough cause to fight your ticket. 

Depending on your knowledge of the law, and the time that you have available to dedicate to getting your ticket dismissed, you may wish to seek the help of a Florida traffic lawyer.

While you may be reluctant to shell our any funds after worrying about having a ticket to pay, hiring a lawyer could help get your entire ticket dismissed without any points being added to your license.

Are you worried about how much it will cost or want to know how we may be able to help? Give us a call or contact us today.

The one piece ball, which has a solitary layer, is for unadulterated power which makes it perfect as a range ball yet except if you're a professional you'll need something gentler with less turn for a full diversion.

The combination of holiday  best shapewear  giving and end-of-year tax benefits create a perfect opportunity for many donors to contribute their vehicle to charity. Most charitable car donations are processed by a broker working on behalf of the target charity who recycles the donated vehicle. So in addition to the tax and charitable benefits of donating a car, there is also a green impact of donating a car or truck to charity. One of the benefits of giving an automobile to charity is that any vehicle, running or not, can easily be converted into cash by the receiving charity. Thus the charity can easily use the proceeds from the vehicle to advance the charity's primary mission. Contrast this to clothing donations, or gifts of other household items, which are not Maternity Shapewear easily convertible to cash, and you can see why most charities have no desire for most household items when their primary purpose may be researching cancer or conducting dentistry in the third world.Automotive recyclers make the transition from beat up old car to cash possible for most charities. For example, the local food bank does not run a use car lot or wrecking yard. So the food bank and most other charities rely on automotive recyclers that have the liquidity to pay cash for the vehicle without seeing it, provide a tow service free of charge and then provide environmentally compliant storage for the vehicle until it is ultimately recycled into scrap metal. What makes this process exciting beyond the washer dryer clearance initial satisfaction of supporting charitable work is knowing that these older vehicles are, on average, less fuel efficient than newer offerings. Therefore, getting these older vehicles off the road contributes to a net reduction in green house gasses. Recycling will also put the steel, aluminum and copper from the vehicle back into the industrial manufacturing process with very little waste from the vehicle going into a landfill.

The move toward lighter, renewable, and stronger metals has led many companies to turn away from the trusted steel to new metal- magnesium. Magnesium alloys have been around for quite some time and has always had a supporting role within the world's most vital machines. Within the last ten years, as the price of gas, environmental awareness and consumer safety concerns have increased, so has the need for a drastic change in the design of many items to appease the masses. Government policy changes have added to the urgency. The result is the increased interest in magnesium alloys, which is the answer to current manufacturing needs. Aviation Losing weight on airplanes is car dealerships in houston important for the fuel economy. Actually, the usage of magnesium for airline construction isn't new. It was used in airplane manufacturing through the 1950's but was phased out because of concerns over flammability and corrosion. However, it is back today, in the form of a sheet. The return was made possible by improved magnesium alloy processing. The treatment used on the alloy's surface also alleviated the corrosion concerns. The sheets are being used more and more in construction of aerospace vehicles to also create designs that are more aerodynamic, thanks to the lighter materials. Automotive Magnesium has been used in automotive engines for some time. As the need for more fuel-efficient cars rises, so does that search for ways to replace the heaviest parts of the car with lighter materials. A perfect case is the Ford 150 truck. For years, the truck was touted as made tough, of steel. The US government then enacted a law requiring all new light trucks to have fuel economy of 30 miles per hour by 2016. Combined with high gas prices and an increased demand for smart fuel-efficient cars, the law could have been the death knell for the once popular luxury cars houston truck. Instead, the company began using magnesium alloys in the design of the Ford F150, starting in 2010, replacing much of the steel construction. The current frame of the truck is made completely of magnesium alloy.Magnesium is found within the body naturally, so using the metal alloy for implants and stents in medicine is advantageous. It limits the rejection rates, dissolves so the implants aren't permanent, and are lightweight without sacrificing the strength needed in order support the body or blood flow.Laptops are on the leading edge of magnesium use in construction. New slimmer, lighter laptops are more easily constructed using magnesium alloys than the traditional plastics and metals. Asus introduced an extra slim laptop, the U36, to rival one brought on the market by Apple in 2010. The durability of the alloy was another selling point for consumers.Keep an eye out for magnesium alloy use in more and more products.

Normally I would be discussing RV antifreeze used to protect the water system in your RV or boat from freezing, but today I want to talk briefly about automotive antifreeze. If I were the CEO of an automotive antifreeze company my entire focus would be on the need to regularly flush the coolant system and add new antifreeze to the vehicle cooling system. I would do this for two reasons. 1) From a business standpoint I would do it to increase revenue. The average consumer doesn't relate changing antifreeze in their vehicles like they relate to changing the engine oil on a regular basis. If they were educated on the benefits of changing the antifreeze in their vehicles my company profits would soar. 2) The coolant system of any vehicle performs a very important job; to prevent the heat producing engine from overheating and quite possibly seizing up. When you don't flush and replace the antifreeze periodically rust, scale and corrosion can build up in the radiator and engine coolant passages, and eventually result in business analyst certification an overheated engine. Let's talk a minute about what a vehicle coolant system is intended to do. First of all, if an engine did not have methods for transferring the heat that is produced through combustion and friction the hot metal parts would melt down and seize up. Heat that the engine produces is basically removed through the exhaust system and used appliances houston through the cooling system. All heat producing sections of an internal combustion engine need to be cooled, including the combustion chamber, heads, cylinder walls and the engine block itself. The way this is done is by circulating coolant around these heat producing areas of the engine. The coolant picks the heat up and releases much of it as it circulates through the vehicles radiator. Water does a good job helping to cool an engine but it has some drawbacks. Most importantly it freezes quickly during cold winter temperatures. Water can also cause certain metals to rust and corrode over time. This is why the water in a vehicle cooling system early childhood development is mixed with what we refer to as antifreeze. Glycol antifreeze does several things to help your engine: 1) It helps to lower the freezing point of water. 2) The corrosion inhibitors that are added help prevent scale and rust build-up in the cooling system. 3) It provides protection against boiling in the hot summer months. 4) Antifreeze helps keep the engine operating at its most efficient temperature regardless of operating conditions and outside temperatures. When we don't flush and replace the antifreeze at recommended intervals these chemicals start to break down and cannot perform the job as effectively as new antifreeze can. Just like used engine oil breaks down and needs to be replaced for maximum lubrication and cooling performance. How many of you have ever witnessed a vehicle sitting along the side of a road with steam billowing out of the engine compartment from overheating? I cannot count the number of times I have seen this. Many times the cause is due to the failure of a part within the cooling system. If a radiator hose, heater hose, water pump, thermostat or technical schools near me fan belt fails the result is an overheated engine. Or, if the coolant system hasn't been flushed and the antifreeze replaced for several years the result is an overheated engine. The bottom line is periodic inspections of the cooling system components, and flushing and replacing antifreeze at recommended intervals will add years of life to A+ certification training the vehicles engine and prevent untimely breakdowns. Keep in mind that glycol antifreeze is poisonous to humans and pets and that it needs to be disposed of properly. You should follow the guidelines in your vehicle owner's manual for flushing and replacing antifreeze and make sure you are using the proper type of plus size shapewear antifreeze recommended for your particular vehicle.
