(re: sssniperwolf and jacksfilms) It's laughable that she escalated it that hard. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure stalking him like that is illegal and it's terrifying regardless, but Jack said in a stream (can't remember which one) that he wasn't about bringing up past controversies of hers or cancelling. And now she shows up outside his house (wtf!!!). Like he was willing to only call her out for stealing and freebooting but she's gone and stalked him and Jack doesn't seem like the type of guy to take that shit. Actual WTF moment from her part. wild
omg long post below bc apparently I have opinions: YES!! THAT'S WHAT'S SO INCREDIBLE ABOUT THIS... Jack has been genuinely diligent about keeping things on-topic in his streams, and hasn't brought up any of her other Stuff, or anything Personal. Despite the fact that she kickstarted the whole thing by making it INCREDIBLY personal and attacking his physical appearance... His goal has been to call out and bring attention to content theft, and he's stuck with it. Dude's also cared about this for years, and she's not the first content thief he's criticized. He just hates the way that freebooting has become so accepted-- to the point where youtube praised her for "coming up with such creative video ideas"? Hey! Ew! Dude wasn't trying to get her cancelled though, there was no smear campaign of her character. He's been rallying to get her to CREDIT the creators that she relies on for all of her content. It would set a precedent for all other "react" channels on the platform for one of the biggest channels on youtube to actually give credit where credit is due. Or, god forbid, get permission first? It's not hard. It's already done the job of making some other people who do "react content" self-analyze whether or not their content is transformative, and to maybe care about crediting the creators they rely on for their genre to work. There is a way to make this kind of video that isn't so slimy. And making fun of her lackluster-at-best reactions is so far from even being a big deal. Bc she literally does just sit there and say nothing. Plus, his goal has a clear End built into it: if she started shouting out the creators she takes content from, and put links directly to their pages in her video descriptions, the job would be done! That's what he's asking her to do. Real bare minimum stuff. It legit would have been easy to steer away from the content theft and to also talk about her history of lying to her audience! her ghosting a dying kid with cancer who was a big fan of hers! the fact that she's been arrested for armed robbery! her history of transphobia! He would also get more clicks that way, which is what she claims is his sole goal- to get more clicks. I'll bring it up though! She's been a terrible person the whole time, and has kept a steady course of manipulating her audience of young children and/or, let's be completely honest, simps- into thinking that she's a Wholesome creator. (And now, into thinking she's an innocent victim.) All of the actual effort put in by her has gone toward optics, not the content she puts out. A carefully constructed online persona, for one, but also literal appearances. Jack totally can't say this, bc she already went off the handle and said the only reason he doesn't like her is bc he Hates To See A Woman Be Successful. But I can! That was a cheap shot for her to use that argument when, for once, it's not applicable! Much the opposite, even! Dudes online wouldn't go to bat for her if she didn't look the way she does. And it weakens any case she'd have against him by making baseless claims like that. She banks hugely on being an attractive woman to get her clicks/following. A massive amount of effort is put into her appearance. The makeup, the lip fillers, putting her hair in little pigtails, the chokers and tube tops, the big non-prescription Nerd Glasses, the thumbnails where she has her mouth open in That Expression?
I don't even have to say anything. But making a weird facial expression and putting your hair in pigtails aren't moral failings. Showing up at someone's real life home (whose address you shouldn't even have access to), filming the front of their house at night, doxxing them to your audience of millions of people? Because you were mad at them online? That is fully scary! Yeah girl I'm pretty sure that Jack can press charges! There is absolutely no way to take the moral highground now that she's literally stalked him, and doxxed his home. She tried to goad him and Erin (Jack's wife) out of the house, also, which creeps me out even more-- because what was she planning to do? The fact that she's been arrested for violent crime before does pop into my mind! lmao! Jack was streaming a game at the time that she was outside his home, and these clips of him, his friends, and Erin reacting in real time to what is genuinely a scary situation have been taken down in case he needs to use them in legal action. Shit is legitimately serious!
#sergle answers#long post#LONGEST POST ON EARTH I'M SO SORRY#saying all this out loud only takes a few minutes but typing it... girl this is a BOOK#clearly I have thoughts on this Online Drama but also this isn't online!#these are people who exist in real life. and compromising a person's safety bc he criticized you for stealing tiktoks#is a real life thing. this isn't confined to online spaces! you can turn off your computer to get away from An Argument#but someone going to your house?? that's absolutely terrifying#and all of this is just because he's been telling her to credit the creators. it could have been resolved so simply.#I hope he takes legal action against her bc he genuinely has grounds to do so.#and I can't imagine how terrified and upset I would be if someone was outside my door. filming my house for their audience.#also the 'what if the roles were reversed' argument is rarely made in good faith... but she's already brought up the topic.#this would be getting even more coverage and the optics would be Even Creepier if a strange man with millions of followers showed up#at the home of a woman- just bc she criticized his videos- filming her home address for all to see and trying to get her to come outside.#It's just as creepy that sssniperwolf did this as it would be coming from ANYONE else#it's been downplayed bc her being a little skinny woman means that A Man shouldn't be threatened by her#which. even if she wasn't going to Do anything. any one of her rabidly loyal online followers MIGHT. she's not the only one who could go to#his house now! anyone could show up.#sergle.txt#Jacksfilms#Sssniperwolf

Someday, perhaps, you will find yourself at a farmer's market, admiring a flower stall.
Listen closely, so you can learn from the mistake I just made.
You may find yourself inspecting the bouquets on display, which are selling for $20.
You may think, "Yes, this is a normal amount of money to pay for a normal quantity of organic flowers! I shall partake and thereby support my local farmers and small business owners!"
You may decide that what you REALLY want on this particular day is a bouquet of the different types of eucalyptus on display, scattered loose around the stall in large buckets of water.
The stall-keeper may inform you that he will sell you three half-bunches of eucalyptus for $20.
You may think, "That is a very reasonable amount of eucalyptus! I will make one normal-sizes arrangement for my dining room table, and several tiny bouquets to place in my bedroom and bathroom and so forth. This is an excellent plan that cannot possibly fail."
The stall-keeper may tell you that it will take him a minute to prepare your order, since you are not buying a premade bouquet, and to feel free to continue shopping the market while he makes up your eucalyptus bouquet.
You might happily browse the nearby stalls, purchase some dates, and run into your therapist. You might say hello and hug her, and therefore not pay the smallest amount of attention to the bouquet construction going on behind you.
You may then return to the flower stall, and the stall-keeper may say, "Here you go! $20, please. :)"
And. The nice stall-keeper might then hand you an entire WHEELBARROW full of eucalyptus (give or take a few sprigs) bound with perhaps three full yards of twine in a desperate attempt to keep it all together.
There is enough eucalyptus to feed an army of koalas.
There is enough eucalyptus to act as a flail.
Your first thought may be, They beat Jesus with that.
Your second thought may be, This is far too much eucalyptus, but this nice man just spent eight minutes making up this bouquet and I cannot possibly ask him to pull it apart and start over with less eucalyptus.
You might decide to meekly pay your $20 and carry away your ridiculous surplus of eucalyptus, because what else can one do in such a predicament?
After a certain amount of time, it might dawn on you that eucalyptus is considered a greenery and a filler, and therefore $20 of flowers translates to about a truckload of filler, and perhaps you should have foreseen this problem.
You did not foresee this problem, and now you live within a jungle of eucalyptus.
...This has been a public service announcement.

The streaming era and binge watching has truly rotted people's brains and people, especially in cartoon/animation spaces, always use Amphibia season 1 as an example of that.
S1 Amphibia gets put in the hot seat when this type of conversation comes up and your opinion on it says a lot about how you watch media at this point. Fillers is a word that comes up a lot and it should have never entered our space because it wasn't meant for it.
This isn't saying you're not allowed to dislike any episodes or whatever but like this streaming era has people convinced that any episode that doesn't end on a cliffhanger or isn't drama or lore filled is a huge waste of time and a "filler". There's so much praise for shows like ATLA for having standalone episodes with an overarching plot yet shows nowadays don't get that same grace for doing the same exact thing.
It's exhausting to see the same tired cold takes from people who can't seem to appreciate shows like Amphibia for being a well constructed show. Having some down time, getting into shenanigans, and all that is a huge plus in my book and I'm always gonna prefer shows making me care for the characters rather than pure angst because that's fucking boring. Amphibia gets praised for episodes like Reunion and True Colors but people forget that what makes those episodes hit hard is the journey and the time we spent with the characters leading up to it. Sure you can skip a lot of episodes to get to the good parts but that feels so empty and less rewarding. Reunion, the episode hits hard especially the part where Sprig stands up for Anne because of the time we spent seeing how much they've grown together as best friends. And I could go on and on but y'all get the point.
My point is, if you can't appreciate Amphibia s1 then you don't deserve the rest of the show. It's incredibly boring to view media this way.

New Type of Amphora Found in 4th-Century Roman Shipwreck
A new study, featured in the journal “Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences,” brings to light important discoveries on an ancient Roman shipwreck found near Mallorca, one of Spain’s Balearic Islands.
Situated only 65 meters away from a well-visited beach close to Palma, Mallorca’s capital, this shipwreck has caught the interest of many due to its preservation and interesting cargo.
A group of archaeologists and researchers conducted the study using a detailed analytical method to uncover the secrets behind the shipwreck’s origin, contents, and importance.
They used various techniques such as petrographic analysis, archaeozoology, residue analysis, and the examination of wood and plant remains to thoroughly investigate the site, according to “Archaeology” magazine.
Amphora named ‘Ses Fontanelles I’ found in the wreck
Inside the ship’s cargo area, researchers discovered a collection of ceramic objects, mainly amphorae, which were commonly used to store and move different items.
Tumblr media
A significant discovery from the study is the recognition of a new kind of amphora, called Ses Fontanelles I, only found in this wreck. The newly identified amphora is larger and heavier than others, and it was mainly used for transporting plant oil.
The recovered amphorae from the shipwreck have painted inscriptions called tituli picti, which give important details about where the items came from, what they were, and who owned them.
These inscriptions tell us that the makers of the amphorae were Ausonius et Alunni, and they also reveal that the cargo contained fish sauce, olive oil, and wine.
During the Late Roman era, fish sauce, called liquamen flos, was a popular flavor enhancer, different from the more commonly known garum.
The analysis suggests that this fish sauce was mainly made from anchovies (Engraulis encrasicolus), with some sardines occasionally mixed in.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Materials used in the construction of cargo
Residue analysis of the amphorae showed signs of grape derivatives, possibly used to add flavor or preserve the contents. Additionally, traces of animal products were found, adding to the complexity of the cargo.
The materials used to build the ship’s hull were carefully examined. Pine was used for the main parts, while harder types of wood like juniper, olive, and laurel were used for assembly. Vine branches and other plants were used as filler and to protect the cargo during the voyage.
Based on the research, it’s likely that the ship set sail from the Cartagena area in southeastern Spain, traveling along the trade routes of the Western Mediterranean. This thought is supported by the petrographic analysis of the amphorae, which suggests a link to the Cartagena region.

Wait come back those tags on your last post about mystic sickness I love those ideas!! :0 /lh /gen
Do you have more ideas? /nf
-☆star anon☆
OH BOY DO I HAVE IDEAS!
I bet the topic has been touched upon many times before, but I personally adore the idea of the boys getting some type of mystic sickness - either by catching some weird yokai bug or just from overusing their mystics to the point they get overloaded.
The following are just base ideas so anyone is free to say their own additions!
For Raph, I’d imagine he just makes a ton of copies of himself - but these copies aren’t fully developed, and range wildly in size. He doesn’t posses control over them as well, so they’re basically running wild all over the place (which is Not Good considering how strong they are.) Luckily they’re easily poofed, but another keeps taking the place of any that are dealt with.
For Donnie, I think literally any thought that crosses his mind manifests itself into reality. Like Raph, he can’t control what it is or what it’ll do, but unlike Raph his constructs are more often just space fillers - in that, the Lair gets very very crowded very very quickly. For the more active constructs he thinks up - basically he Kevin McCallister’s the Lair on accident, so pretty much everywhere he’s even near is automatically booby trapped.
For Mikey- poor Mikey is overwhelmed to the extreme. I see him as having the most innate mysticism, so it stands to reason that he’d be very affected by an illness like this. Portals to different timelines open in rapid succession all around him, he can’t make get his feet back to the ground due to continuously floating upward, and sooooo many burning gold chains cover the place. Luckily it’s not as painful or fatally dangerous as a focused sustained usage of his more powerful abilities is, but it’s still dangerous in its own right.
For Leo, like I mentioned in those tags, I love the idea of him simply being unable to exist in a single space for longer than like, a second. If the space exists, there’s a chance he shows up there. He’s just flitting in and out of space really. He finds it more annoying than anything, but it’s also terrifying! Especially considering the types of places he has the potential to show up in. (But yes he does end up in at least one person’s found footage by accident lol)
The others (Splinter, April, Draxum, etc) would absolutely be trying to wrangle the boys while this occurs.

(Competitive Sensory Play) Armed robbery is typically motivated by the desire to obtain money, which is then often used to purchase drugs; however, some armed robbers engage in the crime with the intention of boosting their status within their peer group. Whatever the motivation, the act is classified as a violent crime, because armed robberies can result in injury and sometimes death to victims.
(Agreggator Model) Some common kinds of robbers include first offenders, persistent thieves and hustlers, drug addicts, habitual robbers, and skillful planners.
(Graffiti Art Galleries) Raiding is a military tactic or operational warfare mission which has a specific purpose. Raiders do not capture and hold a location, but quickly retreat to a previously defended position before enemy forces can respond in a coordinated manner or formulate a counter-attack. A raiding group may consist of combatants specially trained in this tactic, such as commandos, or as a special mission assigned to any regular troops. Raids are often a standard tactic in irregular warfare, employed by warriors, guerrilla fighters, or other irregular military forces. Some raids are large, for example, the Sullivan Expedition.
The purposes of a raid may include: to capture specific key persons; to gather intelligence.

TOÜSSAINT'S BULLET CHESS INFLUENCED ART CURATORS (FARMLAND RENTAL PROPERTIES)
Preparation: The first step in creating such a good repertoire is to understand that memorization comes in a distant second to an appreciation of the ideas behind your opening moves
Prophylaxis*: In the game of chess, prophylaxis or a prophylactic move is a move that stops the opponent from taking action in a certain area for fear of some type of reprisal. Prophylactic moves are aimed at not just improving one's position but preventing the opponent from improving their own. 
Pre-Move: This is when you make your move *before* the opponent has taken their turn; Helps with Time, Creates psychological pressure
Tactical Vision: Tactics are maneuvers that take advantage of short-term opportunities. They can support your strategy and/or destroy your opponent's plan and ideas; Tactical and combinational themes must be mastered
Opening Game: A chess opening is the group of initial moves of a chess game. In addition to referring to specific move sequences, the opening is the first phase of a chess game, 
Middle Game: The middlegame in chess is the portion of the game in between the opening and the endgame, though there is no clear line between the opening and middlegame or between the middlegame and endgame. The theory on the middlegame is less developed than the opening or endgame.
Development: It is important to develop your whole Army. Note the word whole. Some players get a few pieces out and launch an attack. The necessity for quick development depends on the type of Center that exists. For example, if the center is closed, development is not necessarily a priority because the enemy pieces won't be able to break into your position. However, if the center is open, development takes on a great significance
Initiative**: The side that forces its ideas on a reacting opponent; Is making believable threats or responding to threats
Dynamic Advantage: A dynamic Advantage centers around temporary items like development, initiative, and more active pieces. Make sure you make use of this Dynamic Plus before the opponent catches up in development, the initiative runs dry, or you're active pieces are exchanged
Compensation: If you give up something (space, structural weakness, squares, material) and get nothing in return you are in trouble. However, if you give up the same imbalances (space, structural weakness, squares, material) in exchange for different types of imbalance you are said to have compensation for whatever it is you gave up
Material Advantage: A material advantage goes to the player who has more and/or stronger pieces.
End Game: In chess and chess-like games, the endgame is the stage of the game when a few pieces are left on the board. The line between middlegame and endgame is often not clear and may occur gradually or with the quick exchange of a few pairs of pieces. 
TOÜSSAINT'S PHARMACOECONOMICS
A pharmacopoeia, pharmacopeia, or pharmacopoea (from the obsolete typography pharmacopœia, meaning "drug-making"), in its modern technical sense, is a book containing directions for the identification of compound medicines, and published by the authority of a government or a medical or pharmaceutical society. Descriptions of preparations are called monographs. In a broader sense it is a reference work for pharmaceutical drug specifications. Although older writings exist which deal with herbal medicine, the major initial work in the field is considered to be the Edwin Smith Papyrus in Egypt, Pliny's pharmacopoeia. Pharmacoeconomics refers to the scientific discipline that compares the value of one pharmaceutical drug or drug therapy to another. It is a sub-discipline of health economics. A pharmacoeconomic study evaluates the cost (expressed in monetary terms) and effects (expressed in terms of monetary value, efficacy or enhanced quality of life) of a pharmaceutical product. Pharmacoeconomic studies serve to guide optimal healthcare resource allocation, in a standardized and scientifically grounded manner.

The Manifesto of Futurism (Italian: Manifesto del Futurismo) is a manifesto written by the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and published in 1909.[1] Marinetti expresses an artistic philosophy called Futurism that was a rejection of the past and a celebration of speed, machinery, violence, youth and industry. It also advocated the modernization and cultural rejuvenation of Italy.

KINSHASA CAPITAL STRATEGY
Primate State European Architecture Metropolitan Capitals
The Belgian banking system has long been known to be a sophisticated and liberal banking system. Standardized customer account numbers for all financial intermediaries are widely used, and internet and phone banking are well developed. There are no restrictions on the free movement of capital and regulatory requirements are minimal. There is a particularly wide and flexible range of loan products offered to companies, with no discrimination as to the nationality of the investor. There are also many options available when it comes to raising risk capital. Thanks to an efficient branch network, there is a large number of Belgian and foreign banks servicing the country. Due to the sheer volume of international business carried out in Belgium, more than half of all banking transactions are international financial transactions. The majority of Belgian banks also have an extensive international network based on strategically located branches in the main financial markets around the world. A number of the 106 banks located in Belgium feature prominently in the top 100 international banks. The combined assets of the three main banks (Fortis, ING and KB Group) amount to $370 billion. All credit institutions (banks and savings banks) operate under the same legal framework and are monitored by the same supervisory authorities. The Banking, Finance and Insurance Commission (BFAC) supervises the activities of financial institutions, including banks, investment funds, stock brokers, finance companies and holding companies. As a result of the deregulation of the banking sector in 1993, credit institutions have been able to offer all financial services, as defined by European legislation. The BFAC supervises the financial sector in close coordination with the National Bank of Belgium (Belgium’s central bank). The main bankcard used in Belgium is the Mister Cash-Bancontact debit card, issued along with a PIN number upon opening a bank account in Belgium. In order to open an account, proof of identity, such as a passport, is required. The Bancontact card can be used to withdraw cash at ATMs, and to pay for almost anything in Belgium, from a newspaper, parking meter, gasoline, or a loaf of bread from the bakery. Credit options are also available on application. All bank ATMs in Belgium accept the Bancontact card; some accept MasterCard, Visa and other credit and debit cards. The major credit cards are generally accepted in stores, restaurants, and hotels.
AgBank and Options Exchange: Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, ABC has been formed and abolished several times. On July 10, 1951, two banks of the Republic of China, Farmers Bank of China and Cooperation Bank, merged to form the Agricultural Cooperation Bank, which ABC regards as its ancestor. However, the bank was merged into People's Bank of China, the central bank in 1952. The first bank bearing the name Agricultural Bank of China was founded in 1955, but it was merged into the central bank in 1957. In 1963 the Chinese government formed another agricultural bank which was also merged into the central bank two years later. Today's Agricultural Bank of China was founded in February 1979. As the People's Bank of China began spinning off its commercial banking functions after 1978, ABC's focus on providing farmers with financial services increased.[10]: 225  ABC was restructured to form a holding company called Agricultural Bank of China Limited.[11] It was listed on the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges in July 2010.[12] Founded in 1973, the CBOE Options Exchange is the world's largest options exchange with contracts focusing on individual equities, indexes, and interest rates.
Bishop's College School or BCS is an English-language non-profit independent boarding prep school in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada for students in Grades 7 to 12.[2][3][4][5] Founded in 1836, BCS is the fifth oldest private school in Canada.[6][2][7] BCS has the highest endowment per student of any independent school in Canada.[8][9] Seven BCS people have been named Rhodes Scholars.[10][11] A royal charter was granted in 1853 from Queen Victoria for Bishop's College when BCS was the constituent junior division. The school was recognized as the "Eton of Canada" initially by the first Governor General of Canada, Lord Monck on a visit in 1864.[12][13][5] It locates at the heart the historic Eastern Townships and near New England. The school is recognized as a Quebec cultural heritage site in the Répertoire du patrimoine culturel du Québec.[14][15]
Grey collar – Workforce that is not classified in blue collar nor white collar. It is occasionally used to describe elderly individuals working beyond the age of retirement, as well as those occupations incorporating elements of both blue- and white-collar.
Gold collar – Refers to children of wealthy parents working jobs they normally would not be qualified for. Alternatively refers to highly-skilled professionals in high-demand fields such as doctors, lawyers, engineers, and scientists.
JAVA ANGELINA FRANC (Central African Franc CFA): Petrodollars are crude oil export revenues denominated in U.S. dollars. The term gained currency in the mid-1970s when soaring oil prices generated large trade and current account surpluses for oil exporting countries. A currency peg is a policy in which a national government or central bank sets a fixed exchange rate for its currency with a foreign currency or a basket of currencies and stabilizes the exchange rate between countries. The global coffee industry is worth $495.50 billion as of 2023. The United States contributes $95.58 billion to this total, which is more than any other country in the world.
Athletics Training: The force-velocity curve is a physical representation of the inverse relationship between force and velocity. Understanding the interaction between force and velocity and their influences on exercise selection is vital for any strength and conditioning professional. For example, it is essential that a strength and conditioning coach understands the physiological and biomechanical differences between prescribing a one-repetition maximum (1RM) deadlift and five-repetition maximum (5RM) jump squats – as one will produce higher forces and lower velocities than the other. Failure to understand the relationship and its importance will likely lead to less than optimal training prescription.
Opportunity Costs represent the potential benefits that an individual, investor, or business misses out on when choosing one alternative over another. Because opportunity costs are unseen by definition, they can be easily overlooked.
Game Theory has a wide range of applications, including psychology, evolutionary biology, war, politics, economics, and business. Despite its many advances, game theory is still a young and developing science.
Meat Source: Wild game is surprisingly leaner, relatively higher in Omega-3 fatty acids, lower in cholesterol (due to the low saturated fat content), as well as devoid of steroids, antibiotics and other additives because of their natural origin and active ways of life. When compared to domestic animals such as cows and chickens, game meats have an average of 4.3% fat while their domesticated competitors typically have a fat content of 25-30%. Not just any fat either. We’re talking a lot less saturated fat (aka the bad fat) and a much higher proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (aka the good fat). Additionally, the protein, vitamin, and mineral composition of wild game stands to compete with its domesticated competitors, especially when it comes to zinc and iron. This is due to their natural diet of wild vegetation as opposed to grain and corn. (Wild Turkey, Deer, Duck, and Jackrabbit)
Alkaline D-Aspartic Acid Gastronomy: D-Aspartic Acid is an amino acid that is used to make proteins in the body and is a part of several metabolic reactions. One systematic review found that there was evidence of D-Aspartic Acid boosting testosterone levels in male animals. Some foods that are high in D-Aspartic Acid include: Poultry, Meat, Eggs, Dairy, Rice, Oats & Barley Donut Flour, Peaches, Dried Apricots, Nectarines, Cherries, Plums, and Bananas. The alkaline diet is based on the idea that replacing acid-forming foods with alkaline foods can improve your health.
Spinach: Specifically, researchers led by Maria Parr — a professor of pharmaceutical chemistry at the Freie Universität in Berlin, Germany — examined the effect of ecdysterone on athletic performance and muscle strength. EcdysteroneTrusted Source is the main compound in spinach extract. It is a phytosteroid — that is, a steroid that occurs naturally in plants and belongs to a class called phytosterols, which are “structurally similar to cholesterol.” Previous studiesTrusted Source in mammals have shown that ecdysteroids have a wide range of beneficial effects. In the 1980s, researchers dubbed ecdysterone the “Russian secret,” following suspicions that Russian Olympic athletes were using it as a performance boosting supplement.
Salmon as Unsaturated Fat Protein: The fatty-acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are a family of transport proteins for fatty acids and other lipophilic substances such as eicosanoids and retinoids.[1][2] These proteins are thought to facilitate the transfer of fatty acids between extra- and intracellular membranes.[3] Some family members are also believed to transport lipophilic molecules from outer cell membrane to certain intracellular receptors such as PPAR.[4] The FABPs are intracellular carriers that “solubilize” the endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA), transporting AEA to the breakdown by FAAH, and compounds that bind to FABPs block AEA breakdown, raising its level. The cannabinoids (THC and CBD) are also discovered to bind human FABPs (1, 3, 5, and 7) that function as intracellular carriers, as THC and CBD inhibit the cellular uptake and catabolism of AEA by targeting FABPs.[5] Competition for FABPs may in part or wholly explain the increased circulating levels of endocannabinoids reported after consumption of cannabinoids.[6] Levels of fatty-acid-binding protein have been shown to decline with ageing in the mouse brain, possibly contributing to age-associated decline in synaptic activity.

Okay, so I have to ask what you think of Mayuri's weird computer-organ-construct from the Fade to Black movie. How does it work? Is it one of those surreal movies-only choices, or does it appear in the filler episodes somewhere? I don't think so, but I am not as up on the interior decorating choices of the Twelfth Division as you are.
ippoddity: I think that version of the computer only features in Fade to Black, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a super special movie-only choice. Honestly, Mayuri probably changes up the peripheral hardware for his computer every month. His research is proprietary and he doesn't want anyone else using it or accessing it. If you can’t even figure out how to type anything into the computer, then you can’t steal it! Also, the lab gets blown up multiple times anyway, so nothing sticks around for long. Every time Mayuri upgrades his own hardware and peripherals, the lab gets upgraded too. The 12th computer is a living module whose parts he switches out on the regular. It’s an “organ” on multiple levels. It just so happens that at one point, Mayuri decided to take it extremely literally and it took the form of a musical organ, as well as a computer organ, and a biological organ.
Imagine being some poor lackey in the 12th who is constantly trying to keep up with their ever-changing workstation though.

whipplefilter: In addition to being an organ^3, I'm sure its construction adheres to some kind of arcane numerological pattern. I'm thinking about the organ at Tsukiji Hongwanji, because Buddhist temples are not typically outfitted with organs: 
Tumblr media
Regarding the Tsukiji Hongwanji organ: "The pipes on either side form six mountains that represent the six Chinese characters 南・無・阿・弥・陀・仏 (na mu a mi da butsu). There are 48 pipes in the center of each side, and they represent the 48 Vows which is a central sutra of Jodo Shinshu" (matcha-jp).
Which is. SOOOOOO EXTRAAAA! And Mayuri, of course, is also that extra. Therefore, the organ must clearly be an ornate way of inscribing lab secrets somewhere inscrutable yet in plain sight. What is the numerological pattern? I mean, that's between Mayuri and his organ... and probably Nemu. Maybe it's code for "fuck Urahara Kisuke." Maybe it's the Gotei equivalent of the nuclear codes (not for the Kidou Cannon, which is mere child's play).

Preventing Defects and Imperfections in Welded Joints
Tumblr media
Welding is a critical process used across industries to join metals in the construction of buildings, bridges, automobiles, aircraft, pipelines and many other structures. However, welding is not a perfect process and various types of defects can occur, both internally and externally in the welded metal. These welding defects are imperfections that deviate from acceptable tolerances, weakening the joint and potentially leading to catastrophic failures. Understanding the common types of welding defects, their causes, and preventive measures is crucial for ensuring the integrity and reliability of welded structures. In this article, we will explore the major categories of welding defects, delve into specific defect types, examine their causes, and discuss strategies for preventing their occurrence.
Types of Welding Defects
Welding defects can be broadly classified into two main categories:
External defects: Discontinuities that are visible on the surface of the weld metal
Internal defects: Imperfections that occur within the weld metal and are not readily visible
External Welding Defects
Some of the most common external welding defects include:
Cracks: Fractures that form in the weld metal or heat-affected zone due to thermal stresses, hydrogen embrittlement, or solidification shrinkage
Undercut: A groove-like defect along the edges of the weld bead, reducing the cross-sectional area and weakening the joint
Overlap: Excessive weld metal that flows onto the base material without proper fusion
Spatter: Small droplets of molten metal that solidify on the base material or surrounding area, affecting aesthetics and requiring additional cleaning
Internal Welding Defects
Internal welding defects are not readily visible and often require advanced inspection techniques to detect. Some common internal defects are:
Porosity: Gas bubbles or cavities that form within the weld bead due to trapped gas during solidification
Slag inclusion: Retention of solid materials, metallic or non-metallic, within the weld metal
Lack of fusion: Insufficient bonding between the base material and weld metal or between successive weld beads
Incomplete penetration: The weld does not fully extend through the thickness of the base material, leaving a gap or void
Causes of Welding Defects
Several factors can contribute to the formation of welding defects:
Poor welding technique: Incorrect welding parameters, improper electrode angle, or inadequate travel speed
Incorrect welding parameters: Unsuitable voltage, current, or wire feed speed settings
Contamination: Presence of impurities such as oil, grease, rust, or moisture on the base metal or filler material
Inadequate shielding gas coverage: Insufficient or improper shielding gas flow, leading to atmospheric contamination
Improper joint preparation: Incorrect joint design, poor fit-up, or inadequate cleaning of the joint surfaces
Preventing Welding Defects
To minimize the occurrence of welding defects and ensure high-quality welds, several preventive measures can be implemented:
Proper Welding Technique
Maintain the correct electrode angle and travel speed
Adjust welding parameters based on the material thickness and joint configuration
Ensure proper weld bead placement and overlap
Material Preparation
Thoroughly clean the base metal and filler material to remove contaminants
Ensure proper joint preparation, including beveling and fit-up
Preheat the base metal when required to reduce thermal stresses
Shielding Gas Management
Use the appropriate shielding gas composition and flow rate for the specific welding process and material
Regularly check and maintain the gas delivery system to prevent leaks or contamination
Ensure adequate gas coverage, especially in windy or drafty environments
Equipment Maintenance and Calibration
Regularly inspect and maintain welding equipment to ensure proper functioning
Calibrate welding machines and monitoring devices to maintain accurate settings
Replace worn or damaged components, such as contact tips and gas nozzles
Welder Training and Qualification
Provide comprehensive training to welders on proper techniques, parameter selection, and defect prevention
Ensure welders are qualified and certified according to relevant standards and codes
Encourage continuous learning and skill development through ongoing training and education
Implementing Quality Control Measures
Establish and follow welding procedures and specifications
Conduct visual inspections and non-destructive testing (NDT) to detect and evaluate defects
Implement corrective actions and process improvements based on defect analysis and root cause identification
Detecting and Correcting Welding Defects
Despite preventive measures, welding defects may still occur. Early detection and appropriate corrective actions are essential to maintain the integrity of welded structures. Some common methods for detecting and correcting welding defects include:
Visual Inspection
Examine the weld surface for visible defects such as cracks, undercut, overlap, or spatter
Use magnifying lenses or borescopes for closer inspection of hard-to-reach areas
Document and evaluate the severity of defects based on acceptance criteria
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Employ NDT techniques such as radiographic testing (RT), ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle testing (MT), or dye penetrant testing (PT) to detect internal defects
Interpret NDT results and determine the acceptability of defects based on applicable standards and specifications
Perform additional testing or sectioning for further evaluation if necessary
Corrective Actions
Remove defects by grinding, chipping, or gouging, ensuring complete removal of the defective material
Re-weld the affected area using proper techniques and parameters
Perform post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) when required to relieve residual stresses and improve mechanical properties
Re-inspect the repaired area to confirm the effectiveness of the corrective action
Advancements in Welding Technology
Welding technology continues to evolve, with advancements aimed at improving weld quality, productivity, and safety. Some notable developments include:
Automated welding processes: Robotic welding systems and computer-controlled welding machines enhance precision, consistency, and efficiency, reducing human error and variability.
Advanced welding consumables: New filler materials with improved mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and weldability enable welding of challenging materials and in demanding environments.
Real-time monitoring and control systems: Sensors, data acquisition systems, and machine learning algorithms enable real-time monitoring of welding parameters, defect detection, and process optimization, leading to improved weld quality and reduced rework.
Conclusion
Preventing defects and imperfections in welded joints is crucial for ensuring the structural integrity, safety, and reliability of welded components across various industries. By understanding the common types of welding defects, their causes, and implementing effective preventive measures, welding professionals can significantly reduce the occurrence of defects and achieve high-quality welds.

Best One Piece Filler Arc (Round 2)
Tumblr media
Goat Island Arc (ep 136-138): While being chased by the Marines, Luffy and his crew get lost in the fog and discover an uncharted island. They find that the island is inhabited only by an old man named Zenny and a multitude of goats. They also find a partially constructed ship on the top of the island. The Straw Hat Pirates help the old man out while hiding from the Marines led by Moore and Minchey and working to get his ship into the water.
Caesar’s Retrieval Arc (ep 626-628): In this arc, a mysterious person (Breed) manages to get into the Thousand Sunny and kidnap the already-kidnapped Caesar Clown away from the Straw Hat Pirates, who are on their way to Dressrosa. However, the recently formed Heart-Hat alliance will need to get Caesar back, in order to keep up the plan to take down both Doflamingo and Kaidou. But it seems that retrieving the scientist won’t be that easy, as Breed has Pet-Pet Fruit abilities.
Warship Island Arc (ep 54-61): A fleet of Marine ships from Branch 8 goes through a rainstorm and a mysterious girl, Apis, plans her escape from the crew members of the ship. The captain of the 8th Branch, Nelson Royale, is angered by the news and summons forth his mercenary, Eric the Whirlwind, to go after the girl, who seems to have the key to the elixir of eternal youth. The Straw Hats find her drifting on a raft, and agree to return her back to Warship Island. There, they find out that Apis has a Devil Fruit ability that allows her to talk to animals, and she has used it to befriend a dying Sennenryu, a type of dragon species thought to be extinct. She wants to return this Sennenryu to his homeland.

Hamilton Riley Special
Britain has a proud history of special building with everything from Austin Sevens to Bentley MkVIs being given a new lease of life. The process typically involves modifying the donor vehicle’s existing chassis and fitting a lighter, more sporting body. The Hamilton Riley, however, takes things to the next level. Reputedly created by a Riley employee named Mr Hamilton, the two-seater sits atop a multi-tubular steel chassis that is thought to be bespoke. Certainly, it does not correspond to any Riley model we are aware of. If anything, the construction is more like a 1950s sports racer such as a Jaguar C-Type or Aston Martin DB3. The superstructure is made from thinner gauge steel tubing, while the body itself is fabricated from aluminium. Stylistically, the car resembles nothing so much as a Frazer Nash Targa Florio (at the least from the front). Although the side louvre panels echo those of a Jaguar C-Type, while the blisters above the rear wheels mimic Lister practice. The independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering are seemingly Riley RM-series derived with the leaf-sprung rear axle believed to have come from an AC. Powered by a Riley Pathfinder 2.5 litre ‘twin cam’ four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission (presumed to be a Moss ‘box), the Hamilton Riley rides on 16-wire wheels shod with Michelin radial tyres and features drum brakes all-round. The bonnet is held in place with leather straps and the fuel tank accessed via a Monza-style quick release filler cap.

Want to request something? Please read my request guidelines 💜
Notes: All my fics are sfw and will include a list of any potential trigger warnings at the top as well as the word count. as a general rule, I write platonic and/or familial pairings, and most of these are fluffy/comfort/cozy type fics. The use of x/& in reader inserts means they can be read either as romantic or platonic <33.
Please let me know if I leave out any warnings you think I should have included (also welcome to do this through an anonymous ask if that makes you more comfortable!). I am always open to constructive criticism/advice!
MARVEL
Bucky
Here With You (Bucky x OC or fem!reader) - Realistic(ish) oneshot about helping Bucky take care of his arm, comfort/fluff
I've Got You (Bucky x/& GN!Reader) - Short oneshot of Bucky comforting Reader through a panic attack
Let’s Get Out of Here (Bucky x/& GN!Reader) - Reader has some self injurious behaviour and Bucky is there for them

Thank you @joshuascarver for sharing your review with all of us, we are honored and grateful. Posted @withregram • @joshuascarver Today we have a cigar that I was holding onto for awhile and decided a 0 degree day would finally be a good time to smoke it. This cigar is called The Viva La Vida from @artesanodeltobacco - from my understanding this cigar was blended by the legend, AJ Fernandez (@ajf_nicaragua) of @ajfcigars - One thing before even smoking the cigar that I enjoyed was the artwork on the band. It looks to be a jester of some sort and just makes this a memorable cigar for me. Before I get into my thoughts, here are some specifics on the cigar Wrapper: Habano Oscuro 2000 (Nicaragua) Binder: Corojo ’99 (Nicaragua) Filler: Criollo ’98 (Nicaragua) Factory: Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua (Nicaragua) Vitola: 5″ × 54 (Robusto) I paired this cigar with some Red Cabin from @thecentralstandard 🥃 As I inspected the cigar, I found the construction to be nice and solid. On The cold draw I got some pepper and some cedar wood along with some sweetness. On the light up I got a nice blast of peppery spice along with hints of a creamy coffee/coffee drink flavor. As I smoked into the second third I got some baking type of spices along with the continued pepper spice that I really enjoyed. Also, this cigar has had an excellent even burn so far. I’m a fan of a well constructed non flaky ash having cigar, this one had a firm solid ash. As I got into the final third I started to get flavors of black coffee, more pepper and something quite savory on the end. Whatever it is, it was good. As you can see I smoked this cigar pretty far down and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole cigar. The reasons I enjoyed this cigar was the full flavored and medium strength combination. Also, if you scroll through my post, this cigar outputs some great smoke, which added to my positive reaction of the cigar. All in all, these are worth picking up and smoking if you enjoy full flavored cigars. 💨 - #ajfernandez #ajfernandezcigars #cigars #cigarsmoker #whiskey #bourbon #scotch #singlemalt #dram #cigarlife #cigaraficionado #cigarsdaily #vivalavidacigars #artesanodeltobacco https://www.instagram.com/p/CoSQZq7Owwz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Types of Fillers in Construction
Introduction Fillers play a pivotal role in construction, providing stability, strength, and insulation. Their selection is critical, affecting the cost, durability, and environmental impact of a project. This article delves into the various types of fillers utilized in the construction industry. 1. Natural Fillers Natural fillers like sand, gravel, and stone are ubiquitous in construction due to…

Concrete Blocks - Manufacturing, Classification & Uses
     Concrete blocks are nowadays replacing bricks in masonry construction, notably in many multi-storeyed buildings. They are available in three types namely solid, hollow and cellular, widely used for the construction of filler walls and boundary walls in RC framework.
Concrete blocks are usually made in large sizes to make blockwork faster and consume less cement in joints than the brickwork. If the percentage of the voids is more than 25%, then they are hollow blocks and blocks with voids less than 25% are only perforated blocks.
The cellular concrete blocks are generally referred to as lightweight aerated concrete blocks. All these blocks are extensively used for compound walls and non-loadbearing walls.
Hollow blocks are specially made for loadbearing walls, which are useful in reducing a dead load of masonry in buildings. Blocks can also be with cement and sand called cement-sand blocks or with cement and soil called soil-cement blocks which are of low strength and use for low-cost construction.
Manufacturing of Concrete Blocks
    BIS recommends a fineness modulus of the combined aggregate between 3.6 to 4 and coarse aggregates used are of size 6 to 12 mm. Lean mixes up to 1:8 are generally used. Concrete mix for concrete blocks should not be richer than one part of the cement to six parts of the volume of combined aggregate.
Tumblr media
Concrete blocks can be handmade and also machine-made. The cast block is then cured in a water tank or yard for at least 14 days (water need to be changed at least every 4 days).
After curing, the blocks are dried for 4 weeks before being used in masonry construction. They should be stacked with voids in the horizontal direction to facilitate easy drying, or they should be steam cured and dried.
The whole process allows the complete shrinkage of the block to take place they are laid on the wall, which is very important for strong walls.
Classification of Concrete Blocks
Hollow concrete blocks
     Open and Closed cavity-type hollow concrete blocks are classified into three grades:
Grade A - They possess a minimum density of 1500 kg/m³ and are used for load-bearing walls.
Grade B - They have a density below 1500 kg/m¬³ and used for load-bearing walls.
Grade C - These blocks are used for non-load bearing walls and have density more than 1000 kg/m³.
All these blocks are available in decorative facings like fluted facing to provide artistic effects.
Tumblr media
Solid concrete blocks
     They should be manufactured for specific concrete strength of 4.0 and 5.0 N/mm² in 28 days. These blocks are used as load-bearing walls and have a density of not less than 1800 kg/m³.
Tumblr media
Paver blocks
     These blocks are solid concrete blocks of different shapes specially made for exterior ground paving on sidewalks, parking lots, driveways, petrol pumps, industrial floors, etc.
Tumblr media
AAC Blocks
     AAC blocks refer as Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks. These blocks are also termed as light-weight hollow blocks.
They are prepared as solid blocks from cement, water and materials like ground sand, pulverized fly ash together with additives to aerate and stabilize the air bubbles.
The final result is a mixture of thick liquid which is then poured into steel moulds to form large cakes. After some time, the mixture sets and ready to cut into a serious of individual blocks of required size using taut steel wires.
Tumblr media
Very light blocks for partition and moderate-weight blocks for light loadbearing walls can be obtained from aac blocks. These blocks do not shrink on drying as the material is obtained by autoclaving.
The autoclaved cement product is crystalline, which is different from the product obtained by normal wet curing or by ordinary steam curing.
Sizes and Tolerances
The nominal dimensions of concrete block as per BIS are as follows:
 Length - 600, 500, 450 or 400 mm
 Height - 100 or 200 mm
 Width - 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250 or 300 mm
Actual sizes will be less than 10 mm of mortar thickness. For Concrete and Hollow concrete blocks nominal length 390 mm and height 190 mm. The thickness for loadbearing walls is 190 mm, compound walls 140 mm and for filler walls 90 mm.
These dimensions can easily be achieved in machine-made blocks than handmade blocks. The width of blocks use for load-bearing walls is 200 mm and for parapet or filler walls is 100 mm.
Points to Remember:
The mortar strength should not be more than the strength of the blocks. With high mortar strength, cracks will be less and very large, but with low mortar strength, cracks will be small and distributed.
 We should use only blocks that are cured properly for at least 14 days and dried for 4 weeks to avoid shrinkage during construction.
 We should not wet the blocks while placing in masonry construction.
Tumblr media
 Freshly-made and uncured concrete blocks should never be allowed on the work.
 Blockwork, particularly ordinary cement sand blocks and soil-cement blocks should not be used as loadbearing walls for concrete slab roof which favours to expand and contract with temperature.
 The maximum difference in sizes allowed is ±5 mm in length and ±3 mm in height and width.
 They should be protected from rains while being stored as they absorb moisture by wetting and shrinking on drying.
     The main disadvantage of concrete blocks is shrinkage due to the movement of moisture content which is not present in bricks. As these blocks are much larger than bricks, any foundation movement will cause blockwork to crack more than the brickwork.

Writing Habits
My eternal thanks @mjparkerwriting for this lovely tag and @serenanymph for this here one!
Rules: Bold/color the things that you relate to and then tag some people to play.
I write: daily | most days | a few times a week | a few times a month | random
I write most often: when I first get up | later in the morning | afternoon | evening | the wee hours of the night | whenever
In one sitting, I tend to write: a few sentences at a time | a few hundred words | a few thousand words | a complete chapter/section no matter how long | an outline | whatever comes
I tend to write scenes: in chronological order with no skipping | mostly in order but with some filler/skipping | whatever scene I feel like | who knows what’s gonna come out
The things that come easiest to me are: dialogue | description of senses | description of action | description of characters | exposition | other
I tend to write: on a phone | on a laptop | in a notebook | on whatever paper I can find | with speech to text | in the blood of my enemies | it doesn’t really matter to me | on paper first and then typed up | old school typewriter | on a computer
When I take a break from writing, it usually lasts: a few days | a few weeks | a few months | it’s kind of random
My favorite thing to do when I’m on a writing break is: recharge with other creative hobbies | read/consume other media | do something physical | catch up with old friends | work on my WIP in other ways like with playlists or art | other
In general, I think my writing habits are: pretty much what I need them to be | okay, but I’m working on making them better | non-existent | not great | i’m excited to develop them further | totally random | perfect for me
Tagging from The Post (lightly): @palebdot, @kooperation1101, @leisoree, and @sm-writes-chaos
some more specific answers under the cut:
I write most often when the hyperfixation hits. I go through long stretches without working on my main WIP (six months plus) and then sudden bursts of productivity where I spend 4-10 hours a day on it.
Things that come easiest to me (other than dialogue and action) are internal monologue, sexual tension, banter (though that is just dialogue), worldbuilding details, pacing, symbolism, and plot itself. I'm good at seeing the symbolism and knowing what details I want to include, but actually putting it to words? Not nearly as elloquent as I would like it.
I do all my actual drafting on a laptop, but I use scrap paper, printer paper, my sketchbook, various notebooks, the margins of my lecture notes, the giant-ass whiteboards in my room, and the blood of my enemies on the bathroom mirror for all my worldbuilding and plot-construction.
What I do on a writing break depends on the kind of break. Did I just finish a project? Then it's time to focus on harp and martial arts. Am I warming up to get back into writing after a hiatus or taking an involuntary break due to writer's block? Then I read to get the inspo juices flowing (and hopefully absorb my favourite author's styles by osmosis). Do I need to let a draft sit for a few weeks but still have other things I could do WIP-wise? I do those other things. There is also the break where I let one WIP rest for a time and work on another instead.
The only writing habits I have are my tendency to write later in the day/night, posting my progress here, and the fact that the hyperfixation somehow does not consume my life when it hits. I still hang with friends, do martial arts, go for walks, and work; just all my free time alone is spent writing. My dream is to have a schedule but I need to learn how to better manage my chronic fatigue first.
