January 29, 2384 - the day of the last total eclipse is when the raid began. “The day of the sun's false shadow” as people call it now. We, humans, were an unsuspecting victims in a universe habited by multiple vastly stronger existences. When it happened the world had been thrown into utter chaos and shock. The sun had been completely covered by the moon and this event was supposed to last only a short while however after two hours sunlight had still not shown its face upon the earth's surface. This was the beginning of humanity's greatest tribulation. After days of the sun's light not being shown the planet's temperature began to drop and to compensate for this people began to create massive fires but this did not stop the problem. Photosynthesis in plants began to stop, making it harder for humans to breathe. This made humans build labs and create artificial oxygen, which took care of that problem but humans still began to die from hypothermia, frozen oceans, and forced stoppage of blood flow. After two weeks, the sun finally revealed itself and all hope had been restored in humanity collectively only for half the population to be massacred in an instant. “The watchers” had been slowly waiting with armies to colonize our planet and technology beyond our wild comprehension. Technology we can only dream of had been shown and used right before our very eyes and for the first time in all of human history, we had been united as one in our mutual fear and horror. 2 months later, 90% of humanity has been wiped out and the few who remained were used as slaves to cultivate energy. With the use of a Dyson shell, nearly 80% of the sun's energy and heat had been directed into maintaining their energy. Amongst all this time, humanity had collectively agreed to fight back. This began the creation of the liberation group, “the Plague”. These groups of people were the last hope of humanity and carried an extremely large ambition and dream on their shoulders. While “the watchers” were extremely advanced this doesn't change the fact that they were fallible and this group of people were their scourge. They didn't have the military might nor the advanced brain to even keep up against “the watchers” but through slavery and forced labor, the human body began to develop into something stronger. They began to surpass their limits and break the barriers that the human mind had once placed on themselves. Through the selective farming of “the watchers” a new plant had developed that was essentially a stimulant to the human body and a limit breaker for their physical capabilities. At first, they began by using strong levels of acid to corrode the buildings and structures and then stopping their heartbeat to give the impression of suicide so they could not be caught, however, they did not die due to a new system developed from the human's newfound evolution. Due to the strict regimen that we had to follow, we knew all of the places where they would and wouldn't be, all the blind spots of the planet, all the places where they were in close proximity to a chasm, and all the places where we were at a disadvantage. We used the blindspots as bases and hideouts where we could plan our vengeance. After a year of just observing their behavior, habits, bodily functions, and even their schedules we developed a hypothesis that 24 seconds after 7:39 PM we have approximately 19 minutes and 53 seconds in Greenland where we are not being watched nor located. We used this small window of time to gather the fundamental items we needed to fight back and build the foundation for our organization. We gathered food, plants, water, armor, and weapons. We realized that they were immune to cutting/slicing damage and could only be hurt through blunt attacks. With this knowledge, we developed a specific fighting style and used that small time frame to train others in it. We adapted to the harsh conditions and created clothes using spare pieces from “the watchers” specially made for insulating heat, weighing less, and being less penetrable by outside attacks. After a year every person on the planet was a master at this martial arts and had fully developed a counter to all technology that “the watchers” had. However, we could not initiate immediate war on them so we needed a plan. We came up with the idea to have one of our strongest members report to the watchers about our activity and give away one of our bases. This created the false notion that not only did they have someone working as a double agent on their side but also they knew where we would be so they could catch us off guard. We were all there like they expected and they attacked like planned. We had all moved our weapons, armor, and vital items into a different base but kept some things where they attacked to make them think we had not gotten far but this was a dud. Eventually, we had all “died” and had our bodies left at that place as a sign of victory on their side. However, because of this, their ego had grown and they began to underestimate us. The surveillance had gotten weaker as they assumed their “double agent” would tell them everything as a trade for luxury living. We knew that physical power would not be enough so our smartest man collaborated to develop a virus specifically made for their genetic makeup which took about 5 years to extract small strands of DNA without them realizing. Once the virus had been created the incidence began and eliminated more than 60 percent of “the watchers” because of how they were too distracted trying to develop a cure and the vast amount of them dying, we had gained more time to develop our forces and we began to ingest various harmful substances but in small doses in order to gain resistance to any harmful poisons and acids. After new children start to be born this began the origin of a new human species. One massively stronger, smarter, more durable, and with all the immunities and benefits without the downsides. With the birth of this new generation, all of the human race had experienced a collective euphoria. We had begun to secretly train these kids for years and strengthen them in a way the human race had never been before. Due to the circumstances of their birth, they had also developed a strong ability for adaptation and healing factor which ultimately led to humans finally being able to physically compete with “the watchers”. However, we were still lacking in numbers despite the virus taking a vast majority of “the watchers” away. Some of us grew confident and because we were now physically capable some believed we could win the war while others believed we couldn’t yet. This created division within our ranks but did not necessarily break our ranks but that was all depending on your interpretation. We gathered our smartest men and women to make a plan to initiate war, and for 14 days they were stuck in ruminative thought. 2 years passed and we had finally built up the numbers, technology, and physical capabilities to contend with the watchers. Now on the day of the war, all of our strongest soldiers imitated the attack. But this time they were an unsuspecting victim on a planet habited by a stronger species. During the war we had counters for nearly everything the watchers could dish out but one thing we were not aware of was the fact that the watchers could transform into a smaller but faster, stronger, and more durable form. This form took the shape of humankind. So closely related that it struck fear into the hearts of many. Not only was this extremely off-putting but the revelation that came along with it had altered the perception of humanity as we know it. The war had been put to a halt, and all forced fighting in the war had directed their attention to one watcher and one watcher alone. All forces had been completely immobilized and fighting back was no longer capable. With this, the words that had been spoken out of the watcher were a revelation that humanity had not even considered possible. “We are not your enemies. We are you but from the future. In our original timeline, we have been attacked by a species even higher than us. We had been pushed to the brink of extinction and our last hope was only to go back in time in hopes that if we returned to our past selves we could help evolve even more to contend with the world-ending threats from the future. This siege we had laid on this planet and the forced evolution, progression, and tragedy among humankind also brought extreme progression in human capabilities. All of you are vastly superior to your previous forms because of our arrival. While we acknowledge our methods were not the ideal we had no other option. This was the fastest and most effective method to progress the human species although we could not allow the human race to have this win. It would boost the ego of your race and our all of you in a state of comfort and stagnation. With this being said we resign from our participation in this war and would greatly appreciate it if you allowed us to help humanity rebuild and donate technology.” Speechless as to what humanity has just heard we just stood there in utter shock and disbelief. Not a single soul knew what to say and all of humanity had stood in confusion. One man spoke “how do we know this is true” the watcher proceeded to show pictures and videos of them being massacred while some stood in human form and others did not. They showed is this along with the words, “we initiated this war as a way to put the human race through natural selection and eliminate all the weak human being who would not be able to contribute to our growth and success in any upcoming battle. So with that being said what is your decision?” Our leader, and the smartest woman among us had stated, “We humbly decline this offer as we would prefer to evolve by our capabilities and we have already surpassed you so what can you possibly teach us.” After this being stated the war had been started again and the watchers had been for the first time since the “great cleansing” began utterly defeated and annihilated. With the war being won, humanity being victorious, and newfound abilities being discovered humanity had been thrown into an era of peace and prosperity. All tragedies had been blamed on the watchers and for the first time humanity had an ever lasting peace and a perfect utopia where everyone agreed and benefited from each other. With this, we have been vastly improving and slowly but steadily rebuilding our planet and all of humankind. Our members started family’s and genuinely enjoyed the life they were living once again. Everyone acting coyly and with one another was a beautiful side to behold. Everything was perfect until the same monsters who killed the watchers, showed up to eliminate us due to fear of what we could evolve into this time we had no way to fight back and our ranks were already diminished or severely weakened. How would humanity be able to survive this time???Most people had been massacre and captures to be experimented on. Very few of us had actually managed to get away from them and we had only been able to do this through shadow banishment. It was a skill that we had acquired through the technology of the watchers. Living in the void was not the ideal lifestyle as it was ruthless, dirty, and unsafe but the chances of surviving here were massively higher than surviving on earth. Only a hundred of us remained and the human species were basically extinct. With this small group left we had resorted to instead of trying to repopulate and exact revenge immediately we would take the short route. In the void monsters had no sort of civilization and the only rule amongst these creatures were the strongest prevail. There was no sort of rule, order, or even a sense of respect between these monsters. The weak were prey for the strongest, and the strong were killed by the stronger. We took this as an opportunity to not only increase our strength by training and battling but also amassing an empire. The remind of humanity collectively agree that we would bring order and peace to the void. The best way to go through this was by entering the tournament. The monsters held tournaments to watch the strongest fight and kill each other for pure fun. We joined this colosseum and while at first we easily overwhelmed our opponents we had slowly been facing harder and harder opponents as we rose through the ranks. By the time even a single one of us was defeated we had made a name and gained the attention of multiple monsters within the void. We were not necessarily respected or followed but we were feared and simultaneously an opponent that monsters wished to fight. After this we had developed our own fighting ring in which monster could fight and battle against us and only us. We implied a set of rules in this ring. Rule 1; no killing Rule 2; reservations must be made to fight Rule 3; both parties must consent Rule 4; do not make the fight personal Rule 5; it must be between a human and monster. These rules created a sense of security amongst the monsters and while driven by their desire of battle they also abided by the rules. Eventually after fighting throughout the tournament and gaining more traction with the monsters in it. Eventually even the most high ranked demons had begun to make reservations in for our fights. Our strongest soldiers had been the ones to fight them as nobody else can really compete. The first fight had been with a demon who had the ability of immunity. This ability did not only revolve around internal status effects but also could be applied to his physical body. The fight had been the biggest one the ring had ever experienced and it did not disappoint. Eventually we had won and this through the whole entire void and everyone in it into an uproar. Monsters who never even bothered to fight had shown up to battle. The strongest monster in the void and the only monster with a sense of order, self, and purpose had shown up to fight all humans by himself. He agreed that if we win he would pledge allegiance to us all and work under our rule however if we lose we will be killed. This monster bore an extreme resemblance humans. The structure of his body and the contents of it were all human like however he claimed not to be. This monsters name was angel and he possessed the ability to manipulate and control all matter with the sole exception of any other organic material that resided outside of his own body. Our commander and strongest member amongst us was the person to fight him. His name was Alexander and despite the fact that we didn't have any singular special powers like him however our physical bodies were honed greater than any other species in existence. They were evenly matched in speed and strength and even in our capabilities to rapidly heal from damage. They had been evenly matched in all physical ability and the fight had ultimately come to hand to hand combat and who could last longer. Angel was unmatched in combat and had barely even been hit due to how experienced in martial arts he had been; however throughout the fight Alexander had been naturally adapting to his fighting style and developing counters to everything. Our natural ability to adapt to all attacks and effects placed upon us had given a clear win condition; however time was needed to actually see and fully understand how to possibly adapt to everything. The longer the fight took the higher the chance of Angel losing. Alexander had slowly but steadily been adapting and developing new combat styles to counter everything angle could do and even had grown to use his own severed limbs as projectiles and use his blood as a coat over all other objects to cancel his ability to use his field. Angel's main ability had been to control the air around him to increase speed, power, and even get a sense of what his opponent would be doing before it happened. After finally adapting to this his body had begun to heat itself in an attempt to turn it into vapor and due to blood being organic matter of another life form he would no longer have control of the air and the surrounding area. After this the fight had come down to solely base physical capabilities and for 10 minutes they had been mindlessly brawling and instantaneously healing through the damage taken. After a long period of time their healing began to slow down due to bodily fatigue. Biting, punching, scratching, kicking, anything you can think of, they did it. That fight was a bloodbath unlike anything else and in the end they both passed out on the floor with nothing left besides their bodies soaked and bathed in each other's blood. After they had both been knocked unconscious their bodies had been left there in anticipation for them to awaken. The ring filled beyond capacity as people argued and fought about who would awaken first. In anticipation for this once in a lifetime event the whole void had stopped with all its attention. Angel was the first to awaken and he had been exhausted and utterly stunned as to how he actually had gotten knocked out. He had the opportunity to kill his opponent as he had technically won the battle but out of respect for his opponents strength and capabilities he possessed. After the fight had finished Angel had left and was never to be seen again. After 2 weeks Alexander had awoken in a small shack being guarded by one other human and confused after everything had been explained to him he had went around looking for angel but he was not to be found. After awakening Alexander had been massively stronger than before. Due to the physical state his body was put in and all the damage that he had taken from Angel his body had adapted and become more dense in order to take all the attacks while sustaining the least amount of damage possible. After his awakening this began our political revolution. We had now implemented the ring with rules and gotten multiple monsters to follow by these rules and with them being accurate to filling orders more now we had decided to initiate a leadedictator in a sense. The top 5 strongest creatures in the void had been the leaders and this had consisted of Alexander at 1, 2 other demons at 2 and 3, and humans to fill the final spots. We began to implement laws and rules in order to stop the mass murder and destruction happening and within a small time frame we had created structures similar to the ones of the earth. Houses and gyms in order to train in hopes of becoming stronger and even professional combat sports. After 2 months time had passed we had developed a military with our best members in it and humbly had began to repopulate. All this had been done in hopes of regaining the earth and defeated our oppressors. Fast forward 1 months the and the siege of the home planet had begun. They had not been suspecting us however took the preparations in case we had come. Based and soldiers set up in every corner of the world to fight back when the time came we did come back. With this an all out war for the fate of humanity had began and the extinction of either race lay in the balance between life and death.
After the war had began all forces had been deployed to different areas of the planet. Groups that had worked together best being deployed to one part while our strongest being deployed to another. At first we had been nearly even in everything besides technology. They had everything that we lacked and this gave them the combative edge. However despite lacking in technology we made up for it in numbers. Most fights had consisted of large groups of monsters fighting against one or two of our enemy and this has convoluted till their forces had been somewhat deployed. The one on one fights had been more dragged out and heavily impacted the war. Our strongest soldiers fighting against their strongest soldiers in a one on one fight. Everyone has put their all into this battle and left nothing to spare. Our second and third strongest soldiers had the most impact in this war not because of who they fought but because of what they could do. They didn’t actually have abilities specific to them but instead they were born with a type of energy within their bodies in which they called “synergy”. This synergy could be used to amp all their physical abilities but also be used to crate and use techniques or even use techniques that are specific to the traits of the individuals soul. The strength and physical stats of the individual depended on how much synergy they had at their disposal and while some of them were able to gather strength from other life forms it was not a very common occurrence. Alexander fought someone with the ability to control and manipulate momentum. They used synergy and funneled it through all objects of their choice to increase or decrease of momentum of that. This didn’t do much on a wide scale and was a very basic ability but in a solo battle this made it extremely hard to land attacks and even when they were landed they did little to no damage. The most important one to kill had the ability to manipulate all probability. Meaning the likelihood of us even winning this war was less then .0001 percent with them being alive. Whether it was because of a collection of small losses or one major loss did not make a difference. All odds were stacked against us as long as this person remained on the battlefield. In simple terms the whole war relied on the defeat of that person. Our second in command and smartest soldier, “Cassandra” decided to take this upon herself. She was the only one among us who possessed an innate ability and was viewed as the most special soldier but this came at a cost. She gained a talent no other human possessed but in return she no longer had the natural ability to adapt to all circumstances. Her ability was to take the form and attributes of any and all creature she knew to exist. Mythical or not she could take the shape and ability of these creatures and use it as long as she desired. However she could only use one at a time and had to wait 30 seconds in between shifting. Our third in command, “Vladimir” had took the roll of fighting their head technologist. While his opponent had not specialized in battle he still was one of the most dangerous and this was because of his ability to create machines as small as molecular level that shared his thoughts and emotions. These machines were used to repair his body in case on injury, transport information, invade any opponents body and restrict movement, anything that he deemed possible could be done with the use of those machines. But he chose to mainly use them as sort of technological tools to help him further advance his society. The rest of our battles were not nearly as important and were mostly group battles. Afro the beginning portion of Alexander’s fight he had been losing severely and could barely land any attacks at all. After a few minutes of getting beat down and not being able to fight back the adaptation process began. The first adaptation was only a temporary solution to the problem but his body had been explosively shooting out sharpened pieces of his bones and even using tiny droplets of blood as weapons. However this was only a temporary solution because eventually those bones and blood just started being slowed also. The final adaptation and most effective one happened when his body created a function in which he can store kinetic energy and then release it at any given time. This allowed him to rapidly boost his speed whenever his momentum had been slowed and basically cancel out his opponent power. However this still did not stop how his opponent made himself significantly faster. After this the fight had been more tipped into Alexander’s favor but still not enough to actually win. Throughout the progression of the fight Alexander had been gathering more and make friction between the clothes he had and his feet running against the floor. After gathering as much friction and kinetic energy as possible he let it all explode and release all over his body. This altered the form of his body. His body and skin began to form cracks and let off steam. He began to turn dark red and his eyes became shot with blood. His body was slowly crumbling and deteriorating. He had 5 minutes left to defeat his opponent and if he did not then his body would crumble and he would die. Due to his rapid healing factor he had a chance of living if he was able to end the fight within 5 minutes and give himself some time to rest but this all depended on how much he could get done. The battle had been tilted all the way in Alexander’s favor and had no longer been a battle. It had turned into if his opponent could outlast him in those 5 minutes. Brutally beating his opponent and taking full advantage of the situation Alexander did not relent on his rampage. Stopping his momentum no longer mattered and it seemed like the more he tried the faster Alexander got. Steam had been blowing off him. In the end he had managed to kill his opponent within those 5 minutes and had been at deaths door. Cassandra had began her battle and had been absolutely obliterating her opponent. The ability to shape shift from dragons, unicorns, hydras, centaurs, and any mythical creature you can think of. At first she had taken the abilities of a dragon but throughout the fight she had been developing into stronger and more complex creatures. After a while her opponent had been decreasing the probability of her even landing attacks. This made it extremely hard for her to fight and maintain the advantage. She took the appearance and abilities of the mythical deity sun wukong. Due to sun wukong being a monkey that ascended into a higher power he is one of the only gods that she can transform into. After this she gained the ability to not only make clones out of every hair on her body but also multiply the power of each clone. While she does not possess every power sun wukong has she possesses some of them and the most prominent ones. This fight had been a one sided beatdown and only lasted longer than 2 minutes because the probability of each clone attacking each other had been raised to its maximum percentage. Despite this every 1000 punches that had been thrown at least 1 hit her opponent and this was more than he could handle from millions of clones. Vladimir had no special capabilities; he only possessed an extremely honed body and battle experience. At first they had been near equal but the battle began to take a turn when the tiny bugs began to infest his body and eat him from the inside. Due to his advanced healing factor he had been able to stop any significant damage and fight with mild discomfort but this did not change that if he continued in for a longer period of time then he would inevitably be defeated by these bugs and killed. This made the battle a race against time. Expending everything his body had to offer and leaving not a single drop of energy left. Pushing his body to the absolute peak and physical limit. Even going beyond the known capabilities of his body he began to evolve into a higher form. He did not develop any new type of power or gain a newfound power but he did increase and rapidly evolve his physical capabilities. He began to punch with such speed and strength that he created shockwaves from breaking the sound barrier. With this his punches became far more explosive and with every punch thrown he was exploding giant parts of his opponents body and everything within the perimeter. With no regard to his surroundings the battle had destroyed everything in sight and left them fighting in a bare wasteland. Basically erasing everything within line of his punches he began to annihilate his opponent with speed and strength unmatched. Due to all the tiny machines within his body he regrow limbs and was able to counter attack with near no fatigue or even lag in his action. While pushing his body to its absolute limit his body had given up on him. Rapidly healing from constant damage, pushing muscles to their utmost limit, moving, attacking at his highest speed, and even understanding/ perception of all attacks massively faster then he could ever before. Due to all this his body began to give out and in the midst of battle he fell and was unable to recover. No longer able to fight back and maintain the performance he had, he was defeated. Being eaten from the inside, limbs being torn from his body, and being damaged so much that not even his regeneration could keep up. His head had been ripped off his body and with this humanity had suffered its first major loss. After this all other forces began to gain support from all his other bugs and humanities forces had been rapidly depleting. With loss in sight humanity had lost hope and accepted defeat. Right when humanity had accepted defeat and all hope had been lost the king had shown himself once again. Like an Angel coming to bless all of humanity he had run through and obliterated all enemies of humanity. Destroying everything in sight and bringing all enemies to his feet he had saved humanity and restored hope and just like that he had disappeared into the void once again. There was no explanation as to how or why but in that moment all of humanity knew who we would be forever grateful and indebted to. Not many opponents had been left standing but the few who were, were extremely weakened and overwhelmed by numbers. After this decisive battle humanity had been in a state of joy and excitement out of their new victory. Once all the excitement and happiness from winning had worn off all the sorrow and remorse from the losses had come rushing in. All the lost family members, dead soldiers, limbs lost, and mental trauma had taken a toll on humanity. After we had gotten our planet back we did not spend our time rebuilding and trying to repopulate. We spent months mourning the loss of our loved ones and all our soldiers. We laid in depression and sorrow for our mutual loss and mental trauma. This brought humanity closer as a whole and we bonded over our suffering. Humanity had been one but at what cost. After years of processing humanity had finally been able to rebuild all of our structures, population, and even expand to different planets. After all these trials and tribulations we had finally evolved completely and after ages of loss we had finally entered a golden age of humanity. After all this we had begun to explore the deep parts of our planet and while exploring we discovered something far beyond our comprehension. Humanity had only been a small part of a vastly bigger world and a whole new world had now been exposed to us. We had breached through the ice caps of the north pole and had been greeted with hostility from a race on our planet we did not even know existed. After entering this “new world” humanity had found out the truth of our existence and creation. After finding out the truth of our creation and the prophecy of our faith we had all collectively regretted winning that war. Beyond our world laid horrors and truths we were not yet prepared for. After all this we had once again been thrown into a dark age with no will to fight. In the end this was the beginning of the end for humanity…

I just got into modding this game and I have quite a bit of experience with 3D modelling, but no experience with how Skyrim and it's modding tools deal with things on their end. I want to make a simple armor mashup— between the chestpieces of General Tulius armor and the Blades armor, to replace the standard Heavy Imperial chestpiece (for a more realistic, yet still within Skyrim's artstyle look). I've extracted the nifs, downloaded and used Outfit Studio for a bit, but I absolutely HATED the way it works and want to edit the models in Blender. I've installed pynifly so that it can read the nifs, but I don't know how to proceed from here. Should I just edit the files normally or is there something else I need to do? Is there any tutorial on this?

Okay so my OC, Akari Takami, has a telekensis like quirk. Whatever object she chooses to telekenetically manipulate she can feel as if it is for example, an extra limb.
For example, in the future I'm planning on her manipulating fire. When she does so she can literally feel the sensation of it burning upon her even though it isn't.
Here's an extract of her using her quirk on one of Hawks/Keigos feathers. This is during the very early days (the day after her discovery of it) of her quirk training:
Akari pulled her hair into a low ponytail as Ichika mapped out the first exercise. It was simple, Keigo would make one of his feathers float, she would try and manipulate it to her will for as long as she could.
She focused on the feather and, after a few seconds she began to feel the intense softness. She focused on the connection. From what she had gathered the deeper she could get it, the more she could manoeuvre it and the longer she could keep it up for, so she aimed to deepen it.
Everything else became a muffle but the feather, one second the outside world was nothing but a haze and the next it was as if it had never existed at all. She felt disconnected from everyone and everything besides the feather.
The shock and discomfort she felt about feeling way enough for her to pull away. When she fully came back to her senses it felt like whiplash, however, the discomfort that gave her came secondary to Ichikas’ disapproving gaze.
“Again.” She ordered.
Akari hesitated and then upon her command the world slowly drowned out until it was just her and the feather.
She moved it up, she moved it down, she moved it around.
She could vaguely sense the satisfaction she felt however she could not fully grasp it. Coming back and disconnecting from the feather took longer this time around.
‘That's just something I need to work on.’ She thought.
“Again.” Ichika ordered and she did just that.

For me, I've been exploring using LLMs to help me parse and process a lot of data. E.g. not just document retrieval, but extracting pieces of data, annotating using the LLM's judgement, and then re-assembling them.
In my use case, I'm finding that the biggest pain point is that I really need very high accuracy, or at least traceability to make a quality audit easier.
However, with LLMs my accuracies aren't that high, maybe 80% on fairly simple annotation requests, which is a great way to get started but still leaves a lot of manual work behind for validation. Thinking if I need to start doing more detailed coupling to web search/other data for grounding things.
Curious about your experiences. Thanks!

In a world where health and wellness are paramount, it's no surprise that people are turning to natural remedies to support their well-being. One such remedy gaining popularity is Chaga tea – a powerful elixir brewed from the nutrient-rich Chaga mushroom. In this blog post, we'll explore the numerous benefits of drinking Chaga tea and why it's becoming a staple in the wellness routines of many.

What is Chaga Tea?

Chaga tea is made from the Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus), a fungus that grows on birch trees in cold climates, particularly in Siberia, Russia, and parts of North America. Revered for centuries in traditional medicine systems like Russian folk medicine and Chinese herbalism, Chaga mushrooms are packed with beneficial compounds that offer a host of health benefits.

The Benefits of Drinking Chaga Tea

1. Immune Support

Chaga tea is rich in antioxidants, including polysaccharides, polyphenols, and beta-glucans, which help strengthen the immune system and protect the body against infections and illnesses. By boosting the immune response, Chaga tea can help ward off colds, flu, and other common ailments, keeping you feeling healthy and vibrant year-round.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Chaga tea contains potent anti-inflammatory compounds, such as betulinic acid and triterpenes, which help reduce inflammation in the body. Regular consumption of Chaga tea may help alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions like arthritis, joint pain, and gastrointestinal disorders, promoting overall comfort and well-being.

3. Antioxidant Protection

Antioxidants play a crucial role in neutralizing harmful free radicals in the body, thereby protecting against oxidative stress and cellular damage. Chaga tea is loaded with antioxidants, making it an excellent choice for promoting skin health, slowing down the aging process, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease.

4. Energy and Vitality

Unlike caffeinated beverages that provide a temporary energy boost followed by a crash, Chaga tea offers sustained energy and vitality without the jitters or caffeine-related side effects. Thanks to its adaptogenic properties, Chaga tea helps support adrenal health, balance stress hormones, and promote overall energy levels, keeping you feeling alert and focused throughout the day.

5. Digestive Health

Chaga tea contains soluble fiber, polysaccharides, and prebiotics that support digestive health by promoting a healthy gut microbiome, improving digestion, and alleviating gastrointestinal issues like bloating, constipation, and indigestion. Regular consumption of Chaga tea can help maintain a healthy digestive system and enhance nutrient absorption.

6. Liver Support

The liver plays a vital role in detoxification and metabolic processes in the body. Chaga tea contains compounds that support liver health and function, including enzymes that aid in detoxification and antioxidants that protect liver cells from damage. Incorporating Chaga tea into your wellness routine can help support overall liver health and promote optimal detoxification.

How to Enjoy Chaga Tea

Brewing Chaga tea is simple and straightforward. Start by obtaining high-quality Chaga mushroom pieces or Chaga tea bags from a reputable source. Then, steep the Chaga pieces or tea bags in hot water for at least 15-20 minutes to extract the beneficial compounds. You can enjoy Chaga tea hot or cold, plain or with added flavors like honey, lemon, or spices.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Chaga tea is a nourishing and therapeutic beverage that offers a myriad of health benefits for both body and mind. From immune support and anti-inflammatory properties to antioxidant protection and digestive health, Chaga tea is a true superfood elixir that can enhance your overall well-being. Whether you're looking to boost your immune system, reduce inflammation, or simply enjoy a soothing cup of tea, Chaga tea is a delicious and convenient way to support your health naturally. Embrace the power of Chaga tea and experience the transformative benefits for yourself!

First, I'd like for us all to acknowledge how, uhhh, for lack of a better term toxic this game and community has become. In doing so, it's probably best for our own souls to simply acknowledge that we ourselves behave more toxically in this game than perhaps other multiplayer games. I know I personally do not get into heated arguments / name call / and 'git gud' other players in other games nearly as much as this one.
Often I've thought it's simply because I just care about this game so much or that it's simply a reaction to other players who really are toxic unlike me.
But let's be honest with ourselves - it's all of us.
However, it's not entirely our fault.
-- Here are my observations upon taking a break and going back to some old school games in the same genre (specifically, I've started playing Ultima Online again - which SDF emphatically told Terry is his primary inspiration for this game). --
When I first launched this game, like many of you - I expected something akin to a Dungeon and Dragons dive into the unknown. RNG was expected and yet, skill / knowledge should allow us to overcome some of that RNG and make the game work in our favor - at least for replayability's sake.
At first, that is how the game felt. Most players - like myself - had no clue what we were doing and were experimenting. The mobs felt scary, the minibosses near impossible, and extracting was a miracle that gave us a relief and a dopamine rush that made it all the stress feel worth it.
But as expected with practically everything in life once the mechanics are better understood, the mystery starts to wear thin. The same thing happens at a job, with political ideologies, hell the same thing happens when you get a partner. And this game is just a series of systems, so it's no exception to that rule. I fully expected some of the mystery to wear off, I fully expected to feel familiar with it after a certain point. What I didn't expect, was for the game to start feeling like a game of Counter-Strike where I am up against people with certain perks / aspects that make it feel akin to playing in a lobby where some people have hacks enabled and sometimes those players are me and my squad. (And certainly there are actual hackers no doubt, but I am not talking about that specifically. I am talking about how this game currently feels when everyone is "playing it correctly".)
Map knowledge, min-maxxing gear, perk and skill selection, comp selection are at an all time high right now (which again, was to be expected) but simultaneously - the end game content seems to simply be PvP, PvP, then when you're done and PvP some more.
This is where the game starts to feel like a CS lobby filled with hackers. This is where the frustration starts to build, and where I see a possible culprit as to why it's some common for people to be hardcore venting while being met with various "git guds" on this subreddit, discord, or simply being toxic dirtbags in VOIP. We didn't sign up for this kind of end-game but dammit if we didn't get addicted to it before it devolved and now - we're angry. We feel like we've lost something, but we can't stop trying to find it again.
The Dev's also feel like they've lost something and are trying to "find it again". They want to find balance, they want to maintain a healthy relationship with their player base, they want to compete with other games of a similar genre while maintaining their unique inspiration from late 90's hardcore fantasy games and DnD. In trying to search for this missing thing the devs have been twisting knobs back and forth in PvP balance for about a year now.
This is why it feels like we're being driven around by the devs in circles as we scream "take a left" and "No! Take a right!" and the devs seem to listen - we are all desperate to get back to that place where the game first captivated us and the mystery was strong.
How could such a feeling have been maintained, at least for longer? And how could the feeling of having lost it been staved off?
The simple answer (but truly complex if we're being honest) is this: The foundations of this game are not strong. The concept is strong but the foundation feels rushed to produce a playable version, rather than a quality vision.
One of those foundational issues is the modules, the zone / swarm, and maps themselves. The modules were advertised - some time ago - as being Dynamic. Meaning, each time you open a door to a new module you would not know what module you'll enter nor what creatures / loot may be hidden within nor how that module might connect with other modules.
I would argue that had Dynamic Modules been fully invested in and implemented from the start, the mystery could have been maintained for longer and the PvP "end game" might have been staved off in it's full edifice that has been erected today. Perhaps then even juiced players would have to deal with the RNG of the dungeon and callouts of "rotate" or "go on flank" would more often be supplemented with "fall back and regroup".
Also to blame is the swarm, forcing players to clear or avoid modules as fast as possible to avoid being left behind, and thus run into each other and forced to PvP.
I will also posit that the 'simple' mechanics of melee / ranged combat and the simplicity of movement and lack of meaningful evasion mechanics has been a failure in the foundational structure of this game. Had these areas been more 'cooked' then perhaps the game wouldn't be nearly as punishing - unfairly so - when one player simply out gears another or one squad simply rushes down another due to their comp. These very basic mechanics also mean that cheesing AI isn't just "the easy way to get through hell" but actually a preferred method in many occasions simply because once you get off rhythm, your ducking and mashing A vs D gets thrown off and you start to eat hits. It's not fun to dance around a Beserker and widdle him down and it isn't much more skillful than "I stood on a veiny Hell bloodclut and hit him in the head until he died".
This also affects compositions and how one team pushes into another. Half of the Trios gameplay is simply "Does their composition benefit from entering a doorway or holding it?" - what the fuck is that?
The simplicity of mechanics has also necessitated a simplicity of AI as an answer - if AI could climb, open doors, and properly scare the shit out of you - yet all you have to deal with them are these undercooked melee mechanics - you would get roasted by a basic Axe skeleton much more often than anyone would like to admit.
And yet, the lack of meaningful AI and mechanics means moving from module to module consists of opening a door, running past, and shutting it behind you. This might be good for when you're evading a buff ball team, but it also the same system that is enabling that team to begin with.
So here we are - the lack of dynamics modules and undercooked movement / melee mechanics has meant that the Devs have focused nearly entirely on balancing PvP rather than a core game-play loop. Entire systems and entire wipes have been devoted to "balancing" and creating QoL for these systems. Because if someone has better gear than you - they basically win - then gear needs to be stronger for beginners and thus a Squire and thus a Quest system and thus a Marketplace where the mystery and allure of items goes to absolutely die as everything in the game is accessible through gold. No longer does finding a piece of gear in the dungeon that fits your character hit in any meaningful way.
This is not a Dungeon Diver any longer. It will continue to bleed players, and new players who try it thinking "I like hardcore games, I like DnD, I like loot" will quickly turn it off once they realize it's just a shitty version of Counter-Strike but half of the lobby has speed hacks and extra damage and you do not.
Previously, I was for a Marketplace. Previously, I was all for GBMM. Previously, I thought I would one day be "good enough" to rock BiS because I will have mastered many difficult systems. Now it's just a matter of "do I feel like running BiS right now or not" - everything is so accessible that it has lost meaning and feeling and simply is a RNG of how geared the other team is on the map.
Now I'm more for self-found only gear, removal of marketplace, removing of GBMM, skill trees > Multiclassing - and I'd go so far as to say I think they need to turn this game off for a few months, put everything on a test server, and go back to fixing the foundation then relaunch it.
SKILL STILL EXISTS and I will never deny that - but it could exist in a more meaningful way with better foundational systems that do not force the entire game to devolve into PvP hit trading and door play.
TL;DR
The game's foundational systems are rocky and have turned this game into a PvP fest. The lack of Dynamic modules means the best compositions with the best items with better map knowledge will simply rush through and win. The fact that players often have better loot than half of the modules means that PvP is always the best bang for your buck. These incongruent foundations have devolved this game into a crappy version of Counter-Strike where half of the lobby has better damage / movespeed than you do. The melee / range and lack of meaningful evasion tools mean gear check will always be king and makes aforementioned "counterstrike feeling" feel ever worse. And yet, the devs - unable or unwilling or are simply blind to it - have instead been balancing the entire game around "PvP" for almost an entire year - taking up resources and time - because it's the one faucet of the game everyone agrees is causing issues. And yet, nothing has been done to prevent PvP engagement after PvP engagement from becoming the only real end-game content.
All of these foundational systems working incongruently are causing a fractured and toxic playerbase because we didn't sign up for a PvP fest, we signed up for a Dungeon Diving experience with a small squad.
I'll be playing Ultima Online Outlands in the meantime. I might check back on this game after sometime. I made a lot of cool friends and really enjoyed playing with some of you. My in game alias's were ThrustinTheseHips / Dolphin Lover - if you had a good time playing with or against me I will always cherish it! But boys, please take care of your mental health. This game can take a toll - no lies.

So the much-dreaded day has come, one of my lower wisdom teeth is trying to erupt, but there's not enugh room for it to grow in.
It's trying to come in somewhere between the gum and the inner cheek, there's inflammation and dull pain.
I'm worried about infections, or the tooth messing up the roots of other molars. But I'm dead-set on keeping this tooth, I just don't know how to do that.
I had both of my partially erupted upper wisdom teeth removed 1.5 and 1 year ago each, these were very simple extractions that took 5 minutes and I luckily haven't had any functional or aesthetic side effects.
But we all know how much more complicated the lower teeth are so I'm extremely worried.
I already have smaller jaws, really small lips and mouth. Teeth are exceptionally straight and always have been. Arches have a U shape, not totally a V shape but not a big broad semicircle shape either. It looks like on both sides of my arch combined the empty space is big enough to fit 1.5 wisdom teeth. Are there any non-surgical options to make more room for these teeth? Or is it too late since my tooth is already coming in wrong?
What are the chances that removing these will mess up my jaw? Should I just bite the bullet, get them extracted and ask for a bone graft?
I'm 24 currently, been mewing since 16. Significantly improved my breathing, my face in subtle but meaningful ways.

Zocular is a company started by an ophthalmologist that creates skin and dry eye products based on an okra complex named Zokrex. You can review the company’s website here: https://zocular.myshopify.com/
The company also created a product for dry eye professionals to use with patients called ZEST which stands for Zocular Eyelid System Technology. Some of the content off the company website will give you an idea of their assertions about their ZEST product as follows:
With a simple in-office ZEST procedure using our ZocuKit pack, dry eye symptoms as measured by SPEED score can improve by at least 50%.
Note: according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology: Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness Questionnaire (SPEED) = The SPEED questionnaire was designed by Korb and Blackie in order to quickly track the progression of dry eye symptoms over time. This questionnaire gives a score from 0 to 28 that is the result of 8 items that assess frequency and severity of symptoms.
Now, to be fair one needs to consider this SPEED score finding is a subjective measurement and only one tool. A more scientific approach would include objective tests that could include diagnostic tests such as meibography (imaging of Meibomian glands) and tear film analysis tests as well. Not just one tool. These objective tests can provide a more complete view of the gland's health and if ZEST really works well or not.
All Zocular products incorporate our patented Zokrex technology with activated okra polysaccharide complex and is the only other clinically proven system to demonstrate effectiveness against Demodex1.
THE SOLUTION: Eyelid and skin hygiene are essential to solve the underlying inflammatory response. While there is a plethora of options for dry eye and skin care, there's only one option that was specifically developed by an ophthalmologist for his own dry eye problem. Zocular® products change the paradigm for managing eye and skin conditions by incorporating a patented activated okra complex called Zokrex™. Dry eye specialists throughout the world turn to Zocular for their toughest cases. Zocular has also developed an eyelid debridement procedure called ZEST that's performed in the doctor's office to provide immediate and dramatic improvement in dry eye symptoms within minutes. Visit Find Zocular Professional to find a dry eye specialist near you.
OK, let us move on. ZEST treatment uses their proprietary product called Zokrex applied to the eyelids and eyelid margins to clean and gently exfoliates them. Using this method, by removing debris, bacterial biofilms, and dead skin cells, the ZEST procedure is designed to help the Meibomian glands to function better. ZEST is performed directly in a doctor’s office, typically by an eye care professional. The procedure is quick, often taking about 10 minutes.
While immediate improvements have been reported and can be dramatic for some, patients usually need follow-up ZEST treatments and/or other ongoing treatment strategies to maintain the benefits and manage dry eye symptoms long-term. The company recommends follow up treatments with ZEST every six months.
The ZEST procedure does involve a form of lid debridement similar to other methods like BlephEx or manual lid debridement, but it has its specific characteristics and tools which are less aggressive and gentler on the eyelid and eyelid margins. Thus less risk of damage to lid margin epithelial cells that could possibly allow more inflammation to occur, not less, along with more scarring of the Meibomian gland orifices and obstruction of them as well.
BlephEx: This method involves a mechanical handheld device equipped with a rotating sponge tip that the doctor uses to precisely exfoliate the eyelid margins. BlephEx directly targets the buildup of biofilm and bacterial debris along the eyelid and lash line, which are major contributors to eyelid inflammation (blepharitis) and dry eye symptoms.
Manual Lid Debridement: This traditional approach might involve the use of various tools like metal tools, swabs, or specialized brushes. The doctor manually scrubs or removes the scales, crusts, and debris from the eyelid margins. This method is very direct and can be adjusted based on the severity of lid debris and gland dysfunction.
All 3 of these procedures aim to improve eyelid hygiene and function, reduce bacterial load, and promote the healthy secretion of oils from the Meibomian glands. The choice of procedure typically depends on the specific needs of the patient, the severity of the symptoms, and the doctor's expertise. While ZEST offers a gentler alternative with the use of natural extracts, BlephEx provides a more mechanical cleaning, and manual debridement offers the most traditional approach.
The ZEST protocol uses specific tools designed to effectively clean and treat the eyelids. Here are the key components:
ZocuSwab or ZocuSponge: These are specialized applicators used to apply and work the Zokrex gel into a lather on the eyelids. They are designed to be gentle on the sensitive skin of the eyelids while effectively removing debris and biofilm.
Zokrex Gel: This is the main cleaning agent used in the ZEST treatment. It contains a refined extract of okra, which is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. The gel helps lift and clear oil, debris, and residue from the eyelid margins.
Saline Solution: After the Zokrex gel has been worked into a lather and used to cleanse the eyelids, it is typically rinsed off with a saline solution to ensure that no residue remains.
These ZEST tools work together with the intention to provide a thorough cleaning of the eyelids. The process is designed to be gentle to avoid irritation while being effective enough to provide at least some immediate relief and improvements in eye comfort.
Just so you know, the ZEST procedure has not been USA FDA approved because it does not involve drug or medical device components that require FDA approval and thus cannot be submitted for approval to the FDA.
Research study wise there is nothing I can find on ZEST other than a prospective study titled:
Meibomian Gland Dysfunction Management With ZEST Protocol
See here: https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT03968731
Information on this prospective study was last posted July 14, 2022 showing the study was completed on May 31, 2020. This means the last patient in the study was seen so the study to that point is finished. I cannot find that it has been published anywhere as yet. Thus the scientific research on ZEST is still none at this writing unless I just missed finding the study published somewhere.
Thus we patients have to rely on anecdotal evidence that comes from the company, observations, theories, testimonials and doctor opinions in coming to a decision.
Speaking of doctor’s opinions, this one on ZEST is pretty comprehensive by Dr. Leigh Plowman, an Optometrist in Australia, here:

I've got Armors of the Velothi II here.
I've made a simple patch to adjust armor appearing in different slots than it ought to, but I also would like to remove the textureless Camonna Tong Tattoo. Do I...extract the archive sans-tattoo and just...throw it into MO2's overwrite folder? Is that really all there is?

TL;DR - A device that beeps if pointed in the direction of the extraction. Can also be inside the already present Compass.
Hi, i've been cooking an idea for some days. Be kind with my english, it's not my first language. I play different games and genres and watch a lot of content.
People seems to enjoy the map mechanic in ABi, where you can point the evac of your choice and have it in the HUD. A feature like this i think will never be implemented in Tarkov because it will break the immersion i guess, having a degree compass in the HUD is very different than bring a real compass and have it in your hands.
I like how the compass mechanic works in Tarkov but i feel it's never really used, at least my group never uses it. (In long range fight in Woods you don't really have time to press the compass button, lower your weapon and tell the direction)
Playing Warhammer 40k: Darktide brought an idea into my mind. What if we have a device that tells us where the extraction is?
https://youtu.be/2rAdY7lh8Yk?si=r8g8uYnu6sH5jpUN&t=65 Like the Auspex device in Darktide. I don't really like the "R6:Siege Heartbeat Scanner" interface like a map, but i think that a simple sound system can be implemented. -You can justify it in the lore by telling that a gps tracker is planted near the extraction. -It can be another Hideout moneysink, if you upgrade it at level 2 it can better tell the direction or lower the sound heard from others when you use it
I know that animate another object and implement it for BSG is difficult and time-consuming right now with the release at the door, but i think it can be implemented as a bonus feature of the compass we already have.
What do you guys think? (inb4 - "tarkov compass edition 300$ comments incoming")

Hello (long detailed case study AMA ask me anything, with precise numbers, costing, processes and growth shared)
In this case study, we grew a site from $0 to $3,674/m in 14 months (done cheaper, faster and in a more scalable way using automated AI content that beats Google updates)
This is an AMA so feel free to ask questions.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Google updates have essentially killed the traditional content website business (display ads, affiliates etc.) hence...
We have made a very IMPORTANT transition that has helped us maintain a portfolio of 41+ websites with 5M+ organic hits per month...
Content production has moved from human written content to human assisted AI and now fully automated AI content. Becoming AI's ally was important otherwise, it had killed the content business.
MAIN IDEA: Bulk publish easy to rank info articles that follow the same structure. Do this by AI for content and scripting for automation. Additionally, build links if you have fresh domain.

In this case study, I will explain...

• Overview of results (shared above)
• Month on month growth (shared above)
• Site summary (shared above)
• What's the main idea (explained in detail)
• How to do it?
• Researching niche
• Devising a content plan (article topics with main and secondary keywords, categories, subcategories and more)
• Reverse engineering competitors for an article structure that ranks
• Creating prompts that the script would run to create posts in bulk
• Bulk uploading the articles on WordPress
• Submitting and Indexing
• Building Backlinks
• Conversion rate optimisation
• Costing (very important)

MAIN IDEA
The idea is to:

• Find a niche with enough search volume and easy to beat competition
• Find content topics that can be answered using a similar article structure
• Example of similar structure article topics: What does "sun" mean in "tarot", What does "emperor" mean in "tarot"
• In the above example, the queries have the same format: What does X mean in Y (use Ahrefs)
• Benefit: This helps us craft an article structure that can be replicated over thousands of articles
• Then, devise the article structure by reverse engineering the competitors
• Article structure will consist of different sections
• Construct AI prompts for each section to produce content
• Use Open AI and scripts to generate content for each section. Here, you will take input from the excel sheet that consists of the these keywords and related keywords
• Generate CSV that has all the responses
• Use WP ALL IMPORT to publish on WordPress Site

HOW TO DO IT?
Executing this reliant on three main variables. If you get these three right, the odds of success for such a project get higher.

• Content Plan
• Content production
• Backlinks

1. Content Plan
This is like a blueprint for the whole project. One of the redditors commented on my previous case studies and summarised it perfectly. He said, it's like a map to a treasure while you're sailing on the ship. If this blueprint is right and you follow the directions (execute), you will get the treasure. Otherwise, you will waste your time, resources and skills chasing something you'll never get. After years of efforts your ship will sink. This is very well put. I would like to thank him for this.
Important elements of content plan are:

• Niche selection: The criteria is:
  • Enough total search volume
  • Beatable competition
  • Display ads allow that niche
  • Enough affiliate programs
  • Enough small sites to ensure that you can still make money at a small scale
  • Enough big sites to ensure that you can make money at a big scale as well (this applies only when you wish to keep the project for long term and not sell when it's still small i.e. making less than $10,000 a month)
• Identifying queries with similar article structure (tarot example shared in the main idea section)
• Extracting queries in CSV
• Manually clustering the similar ones together. Example: "what does SUN mean in tarot" and "what do you mean by SUN in tarot" are essentially the same
• Finalising the articles based on above clustering and removing irrelevant ones
• Categorising into categories/subcategories
• Finalising pages (affiliates disclaimer, privacy policy, about us, contact, homepage content)

2. Content Production

• Reverse engineering competitors: analysing how the top ranking competitors are answering those queries in the form of articles
• Analysing the structure: What's their intro like, what's the first section then the next and next
• Compile this info to construct an article structure that covers everything and can be implemented to all the article topics (this is why we chose the topics that could be answered with the same article structure and are not too different)
• Include semantically relevant entities (engineer prompt accordingly)
• Ensure relevance to the main and subcategory and other articles within the same categories/subcategories

3. Backlinks
Here's a quick tip: Reach out to prospects and clearly ask if they offer a sponsored post. It makes things much easier and saves time.
Here's the criteria for the backlinks:

• Niche relevant or general sites
• DR greater than 20 (Ahrefs)
• Search traffic greater than 500 (Ahrefs)
• Content based
• Dofollow
• Indexed
• Anchor text that is relevant
• Permanent

Generating Prompts and Scripting for Bulk Content Production
The prompt engineering is highly dependent on what the competitors are doing. You have to analyse things like tone, structure, flow of sentences, paragraphs and general outline of the article. Devise prompts for each section and compare it with the competitors to get something as close BUT BETTER than that. Remember that in order to rank, you can be different in a way that it's better than the competitors. However, do NOT be too different. Otherwise, you won't rank.
As far as the script is concerned, it would be hard to explain it here. But, imagine...

• Excel sheet
• Column 1: Main keywords
• Column 2: Secondary keywords
• Column 3: Section 1 of article e.g. intro (generated based on a unique prompt to this that takes input from column 1 and 2)
• Column 4: Section 2 of article e.g. first heading (generated based on a unique prompt to this that takes input from column 1 and 2)
• So and so forth to finish all sections of the article

This excel sheet is connected with OpenAI's API and the formula is added to each cell, it interacts with the API and sends request to produce the content using prompt coded into that formula and input taken from column 1 and 2.
Result: A CSV that consists of thousands of rows, each representing one article. Each row consisting of multiple columns. Each column representing a section of that article.
Bulk Content Publishing on WordPress
Using the CSV in the above step, you can use WP All import (WordPress plugin) to bulk publish the posts.
It would be redundant to explain the process here as you can easily check out a simple explainer YouTube video on this.
Submitting and Indexing
Use Google Developers API and RankMath to index the generated posts. Again, a simple Google search can return a guide that can help you do this. Writing this here is inefficient.
Conversion Rate Optimisation
The conversion rate optimisation of this project was done somewhere in around 12th month onwards. The RPM in previous recent months was around $10. But, with this CRO it increased to $17.
We did the following:

• Ads and affiliate offers in the sidebar
• Call to action for relevant affiliate offers in the form of a beautiful table right after the intro section

Costing
Expenses

• Content: Almost 1,500,000 words
• Content cost: $7500 (includes API tokens, researching comp., devising structure, prompts, publishing, everything etc.)
• Backlinks that we built and paid for: 75
• Average cost per backlink: $110
• Total cost for backlinks: $8,250
• Other admin: $1000
• Total: $7,500 + $8,250 + $1000 = $16,750

Return

• Earnings (affiliate and display): $9,728.69
• Sold: $108,000 (private sale)
• Total: $117,728.69

Net

• Net: $117,728.69 - $16,750 = $100,978.69
• ROI: 602%
• Duration: 14 months

Way Forward and Analysis
The fundamental shift in our approach was necessary. Producing content for brands and affiliate sites got super expensive and unable to rank with human writers. It killed a lot of big SEO projects in the industry.
The pivot enabled us to produce content faster, cheaper and in a more scalable way with higher quality.
With this approach, the goal is to scale the portfolio even further and hopefully publish more case studies of exits.
If you have any feedback/questions - feel free to let me know. This is an AMA. I would be happy to answer.
Cheers and best of luck!
