Hi everyone! Thank you so much for all your feedback on the last version. I haven’t changed too much except for the last blurb paragraph which I think is hookier now and I hope solves the problem of not explaining how the story could have sexual prose. I also removed a paragraph from my first three hundred. I hope this version works better now, but please let me know if not.
Dear [AGENT],
Because you like [personalization], I hope you’ll be interested in PHOEBE, my 85,000 word upmarket women’s novel that explores cultural identity and a complicated friendship between two Vietnamese-Americans as they navigate their first years of womanhood.
When twenty-eight year old Phoebe drops out of grad school and gets arrested for assaulting a police officer, the only person she has left to call is her adoptive sister, Gigi.
Phoebe doesn’t have any other family left. After her father killed himself the morning of her high school graduation, her mother drove her across the country to stay with a family friend in Southern California and disappeared. For years, Phoebe was content following Gigi around, even attending college just to stay near her. But when Gigi decided to move away for dental school in San Francisco, Phoebe’s life began its downward spiral.
The day Gigi comes to pick her up, Phoebe is shocked to discover that Gigi is hiding a pregnancy and eloping with a man Phoebe has never met. Without other options, Phoebe soon finds herself moving in with Gigi, Gigi's rich new husband, and their infant son in the moneyed suburb of Arcadia. But Gigi and her husband are always passive-aggressively arguing, and Gigi’s dissatisfaction with motherhood is clear.
In the court mandated therapy sessions following her arrest, Phoebe is forced to recall the trauma she experienced growing up as an immigrant’s child in the Midwest and confront how her loneliness and need for love wrecked the decisions she’s made. Meanwhile, Gigi uncovers a secret about Phoebe’s mother that could change both of their lives.
With flashback cuts similar to the film Challengers (2024), PHOEBE combines the sexual prose and psychological musings of MILK FED by Melissa Broder with the exploration of generational trauma in BANYAN MOON by Thao Thai.
First 300 (again for context, Phoebe refers to Gigi by her full name, Regina. There are Gig POV chapters as well.)
Regina says my worst trait is how paranoid and judgemental I am. She thinks that I’m always looking over my shoulder, waiting for the next terrible thing to happen, and that I only see the worst in people. She’s not wrong. But unlike her, I haven’t had the sort of life that begets beauty and easy fortune. Every good thing that has ever happened to me was just another suffering in disguise.
My phone buzzes in my hand, and I don’t have to look down at the screen to know it’s Ishaan. It’s been nearly a year since I last saw him, and the same amount of time since I last responded to him. In some messages, he’s worried about me. In others, he’s saying he wants to clear the air, apologize for what happened between us. We need to talk is the most common sequence of words I get. I know he’ll tell me it was all a misunderstanding, but I’m tired of not knowing who to believe, him or my own eyes.
I don’t have his number saved anymore, but I know all the digits that make it up. If you scrambled up all the numbers in a big bag, I could dig them out and place them in back order. Regina says I should just block him and move on, but how can I? He is the monster that I wrought with my own hands. A meat-eating, prospect destroying, body snatching narcissist who was once a sweet twelve-year old boy I could’ve loved but ruined instead.

I wanted to reach out to the community and ask for some suggestions. I have a sample which I IP'ed. We figured since the concentration was so slow and having difficulties getting a good purity ratio, we decided to amplify the sequence. Now it is in the post amplification process (primers attached still etc). I am wondering what everyone's favorite DNA purification kit is? I am having a hard time finding a very good DNA purification kit. I have looked into the AMPURE XP bead but it is way too expensive.... (plate + solution = ~2K.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

Hello there! This might be a long shot, but I'm currently searching for someone to play any of these canon characters from Cyberpunk 2077!
Looking for: Viktor Vektor, Goro Takemura, or River Ward. I want something more canon compliant starting around the beginning of the game (after Arasaka heist).
I will be playing Female V.
A little about me, I am over 18, I use discord only, I write in 3rd person, write around 400 words (2-5 paragraphs), and usually reply at least once a day and I ask that you do as well.
Please DM if you're interested I'll be hoping for a writing sample, as well. TY

UN 38.3 Standard Testing Items & Procedures

The UN 38.3 standard includes the following 8 detection items:

• T1 low pressure,
• T2 temperature cycle,
• T3 vibration,
• T4 shock,
• T5 external short circuit,
• T6 heavy object impact (lithium battery core),
• T7 overcharge (lithium battery or lithium battery )
• T8 forced discharge (lithium battery cells).

For lithium batteries or lithium battery packs, a total of 7 items of tests T1 → T5, T6, and T7 are required. However, for lithium battery cells, T1 → T5, T6 and T8 tests are required. Among them, T6, T7, and T8 tests need to use separate samples. And T1 → T5 test sequentially tests the same sample.

Comparison of UN 38.3 & International Standards

Compared with other international lithium battery standards, the temperature cycling conditions specified in the UN38.3 standard are more demanding and longer. Other international standard test items generally use separate samples for testing. However, the T1 → T5 test in the UN 38.3 standard tests the same sample in sequence. The previous test may have a negative impact on the next test, resulting in failure to pass the test. If the lithium battery submitted for inspection is tested for T1 → T5 in the UN 38.3 standard, there will be one item unqualified. Enterprises need to re-test UN3813 standard after process improvement, which will greatly extend the testing cycle.
It can be known from Table 1 that compared with the international standard IEC 62133, the high and low temperature exposure time of the temperature cycling item in the UN 38.3 standard is up to 6 hours, and the low temperature test temperature is -40 ± 2 ° C. The temperature cycle of the temperature cycle test is larger and the test cycle is longer. It is easier to cause the internal materials of the battery cell to decompose and generate gas. In the case of problems in the production process, when the gas generated during the temperature shock reaches a certain pressure, the gas is likely to leak from the weak point of the battery case or the internal seal, resulting in substandard phenomena such as gas leakage and liquid leakage.

Analysis of UN 38.3 Standard Test Results & Causes

First case

In the UN 38.3 standard, the lithium batteries tested in the temperature cycling project are fully charged (100% SOC). Therefore, when subjected to a long-term temperature shock, relatively serious side reactions may occur inside the battery, generating a large amount of gas. If there is a problem with the manufacturing process of the battery, when a certain amount of air pressure is accumulated, the gas and the electrolyte may leak from the gap in the case or the place where the solder is welded.
Problems in the manufacturing process may have the following conditions:

1. The welding of the battery case and the cap is not firm and not sealed;
2. There are missing welds, false welds and cracks, and welds have cracks, cracks, etc .;
3. When the steel ball is sealed, the size of the steel ball is improper, and the material of the steel ball is different from that of the cap;
4. The positive pole of the cap is not tightly riveted, and there is a gap;
5. The elasticity of the insulating gasket is not suitable, it is not resistant to corrosion, and it is easy to age.

Problems such as mass loss, leakage, and exhaust during the UN 38.3 standard temperature cycle are mainly related to the manufacturing process. Anatomy of the leaked battery revealed that the battery was subjected to uneven force during assembly, which caused the internal insulation plate of the battery to deform, causing the battery to leak at the insulation plate.

Second Case

In addition, the test also found that some lithium batteries have no mass loss, no leakage, no exhaust, no disintegration, no cracking and no combustion after the temperature cycle test. However, due to the chemical reaction between the positive and negative electrode active materials and the electrolyte inside the battery during the temperature shock, a certain amount of gas was generated, which caused a bulging phenomenon during the test.
However, the swollen lithium battery is more difficult to pass the vibration test during the next high acceleration and long time vibration test. The battery is likely to produce gas leaks and leaks, resulting in excessive quality loss and ultimately failing the vibration test. This requires lithium battery manufacturers in the research and development stage, in addition to continuous improvement of electrical performance, but also must fully consider the adverse impact of temperature shock on lithium battery materials.
Starting with lithium battery materials, the stability of each chemical material at the test temperature specified in the temperature cycle of 75 ℃,-40 ℃, and the transition points between 75 ℃ and-40 ℃ was investigated. Find out which materials are liable to generate gas at the test temperature. Through a large number of experiments to improve the process of these materials, or to find other alternative materials, to seek a better balance between the electrical performance and safety performance of lithium batteries.

Third Case

In another case, the lithium cell that swelled during the temperature cycle passed the subsequent vibration and shock tests. However, the large amount of gas generated internally during the temperature cycle adversely affects the welding parts around the shell. The pressure shock of the gas directly causes the welding strength to weaken in some areas. In the external short-circuit test after the impact test, the lithium single-cell battery rapidly heated up, and a large amount of gas continued to be generated inside the case. When the internal pressure of the shell rises to a certain value, the gas is released from the area where the welding strength becomes weak, causing the shell to rupture. As a result, the external short-circuit test cannot be passed.
The following test chambers are used in the standard UN 38.3:

• Servo Computer Battery Crush Tester
• Vibration Test System
• Shock Test System
• Battery Crush Nail Penetration Tester
• Altitude Simulation Test Chamber
• Heavy Impact Tester
• Temperature Control Battery Short Circuit Test Chamber
• Battery Crush Test Chamber
• Temperature Cycling Test Chamber

The Zoom Toggle key command now works in the Step Editor.
Compatibility
GarageBand projects that use Pitch Correction now sound the same when opened in Logic Pro.
Undo
If Undo is used immediately after creating a project, the New Track Sheet is displayed as expected rather than leaving a project with no tracks.
Undo/Redo now works as expected with Audio Unit v3 plug-ins.
Changing the Automation Mode, or changing a Track On/Off state now creates an Undo step.
Performing Undo after adding a surround track no longer corrects Drummer tracks in the project.
Logic Remote
Logic Remote immediately updates to show time and signature changes made in Logic Pro.
Control Surfaces and MIDI controllers
Controls on Control Surface devices that use Lua scripts now provide feedback when learning assignments for them in Logic Pro.

Copy/paste of regions now works when Automation view is enabled.
Right-clicking on a looped segment of a region now opens the contextual menu as expected.
It's now easier to see when black keys are depressed in the Musical Typing window.
The right arrow key now reliably moves the text cursor in the Bounce > Save As file name panel.
Groove Templates created from audio regions now work in Smart Quantize mode.
Dragging multiple regions from the same audio file from the Project Audio browser to the Tracks area now works correctly.
Audio regions are no longer moved to unexpected positions when trimming, if absolute Snap mode is on, and the region anchor is moved away from the start of the region
Fixes an issue where pasting a Marquee selection with No Overlap and Snap Edits to Zero Crossings mode enabled could delete a non-overlapping part of an existing region.
Autozoom now triggers when a region's upper right corner is dragged in the Main window, or the Audio Track Editor.
The Playhead no longer may briefly appear to be in the wrong position when zooming horizontally.
The Time Ruler now immediately updates to reflect changes made to the “Bar Position [bar position] plays at SMPTE” setting.
The File browser correctly shows the full path when using Save As.

I have a fusion biopsy scheduled for Friday. I've been reflecting on how I got here. Something like this:
2015 - Diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and sleep apnea.
2016 - Hypogonadism. Started TRT. PSA spiked. 1 of 12 samples mildly interesting. Started watchful waiting. Prostate measured 75 CC.
2017 - Excessive red blood cell production. Stop TRT.
2017 - 2022 - Focus on managing T2D and mental health issues.
2022 - Occasional ED. Treated with PDE5 inhibitors.
2023 - 6/23 Notice mild curve in erection. Curve not extreme, no painful erections.
2024 - 2/24 Best metabolic panel of my adult life - and a) wbc out of range on the high side and b) PSA spiked. Was 1.8 in 8/23, up to 8.4 in 2/24.
2024 - 3/24 Experiencing tiny urine leakage. No trouble using the bathroom otherwise.
2024 - 4/24 Prostate MRI. Results:

• Single PI-RADS 4 lesion in the anterior transition zone at the extreme base.
  
• Prostatomegaly with changes of benign prostatic hypertrophy.
  
• Findings:
  
  • 6.3 x 6.0 x 6.1 cm with a volume of 107.7 mL
  • PROSTATE CENTRAL GLAND: Changes of BPH. Within the mid anterior transition zone at the extreme aspect of the prostate gland base in an area where the urinary bladder base is elevated there is a T2 hypointense lesion with marked diffusion restriction and low signal on ADC sequences measuring 0.6 x 0.4 cm (0.1 mL). This was labeled as lesion #1 in DynaCAD and is classified as PI-RADS4.
  • PROSTATE PERIPHERAL ZONE: No suspicious focal lesions found.
  • PROSTATE CAPSULE: Capsule is intact.
  • SEMINAL VESICLES: Appear normal with no tumor involvement.
  • BLADDER: Trabeculation and mild thickening of the bladder wall.
  • LYMPH NODES: No evidence of pathologic lymphadenopathy in the pelvis.
  • BONES: There are no aggressive osseous lesions.
  • OTHER: No other significant findings.

2024 - 5/24 - Erection curve more noticable.
My thoughts: There always could be PC lurking around. My younger brother had RALP 10 years ago, when he was 48. He did not have BPH. That and co-morbidities are a real distraction. It is difficult to suss out multiple causes and effects.
Your thoughts are welcome and appreciated.

Every one thousand years, the realms of the divine and the dreaded collide to determine the next Lord of the Dominions. Negotiated on an ancient pact, both heaven and hell meet together on Earth, and contest each other for the title - coveted by all, as the Supreme would control both principalities, able to set the rules and laws, veto decisions, and work for unity or for strife.
It is only during this time, the Convergence, where demons and angels alike can walk upon the world, disguising themselves amongst the humans. Each race has champions: powerful individuals who may wield weapons, magic, suggestion and a whole arsenal of abilities that allows them to face one another. Under the noses of the everyday man and woman are bolts of dark magic fending off divine power across the rooftops of a snoozing city, fists parrying claw and steel in the verdant forest, and thundering blows exchanged in the clouds above the ocean.
But there's a caveat. Each devil and each angel is soul bound to a human, a mortal that has their fate tied to the supernatural. It becomes the servant's duty to protect their master or mistress, and keep them safe. This ancient law gives the entity a corporeal body, and in exchange, the mortal being is granted immense favors by being blessed by the Lord at the conclusion of the tournament.
Such humans are blessed with magical prowess, though not all humans are created equal, and the selection process is not chosen; it is assigned by the council. Perhaps some could view it as unlucky, being tossed into a rivalry that spans eons. Others may see it as a blessing, as with their new capabilities, they're almost sure to rise to the top of world.
This story follows one such pair, and their journey to the throne above all.

Hello! Another prompt was rattling in my brain, so I figured I should write it out! This is a modern fantasy roleplay, with themes of supernatural, bodyguard x charge, romance, soulmates, possible slice of life, and a bit more! It very much depends on how we decide to write it, as the world is pretty expansive! Please note that this roleplay will have some dark themes.
Please note that roles can be swapped! The pairing is always one supernatural x one human:

• An archangel arbiter is tethered to a human girl. He's quite powerful, ranking high amongst the angels and talented in both divine magic and sword. His sense of justice is however, a little bit flawed. It is beneath him to be caught up in this silly tournament, when he's clearly the one that will control it all. And the human? Isn't she just a liability to him?
  
• A guardian angel who was already assigned to a human girl. He was born as a human, and grew up along side her and they're close friends. However, with the advent of the Convergence, his latent abilities are awakened and he is bound to her, the entirety of his memory returning to him now. He kept her safe unknowingly from mild dangers before, but what about now?
  
• An oni demon, powerful with fist and club. His power is immense, easily towering above other demons - but her? His exact opposite. Perhaps bookish, perhaps a little weak, more inclined to spend her time in the library than on the track and field. His fiery disposition and hasty attitude can only be quelled by her gentleness.
  
• A vampire talented in all manners of blood magic, rising into the mortal world. With his charge, he will surely conquer this realm, the heavens, and then- Why is the human-made pizza so good? This one is a comedic angle, where the demon is a little too enamored with the human world and just wants to live there, and perhaps his partner is the one who actually wants to win.
  
• Have another idea that follows the same vein of these plots? Do tell me! We can also build something together.

About myself: I'm 25+, and I can only promise you lots of imagination and creativity in a roleplay. I prefer 3rd person, with about 2-7 paragraphs of detail and action in every reply. I'm usually able to reply a few times a day, depending on your timezone (I live in PST). I write female/male/non-binary, play a multitude of characters, but I would like the main character for me to be male. I prefer using Discord.
About you: 21+, literate, and can write at least two paragraphs per reply. Preferably can reply one to a few times a day. Can play a multitude of characters as called for, and loves world-building! Preferably uses/prefers anime style face claims. Be willing to provide a writing sample, please.
Looking forward to becoming the Supreme with you!

PRODUCER: Do you have the suicide note?
HEIDI CLIFFORD (As “Anonymous Classmate”): (Reading purported “suicide note” aloud): This is a copy of the suicide note.
“I attended a course called Executive Success Programs, aka Nexium (sic), based out of Anchorage, Alaska and Albany, New York. I was brainwashed and my emotional center of the brain was killed and turned off. I still have feeling in my external skin, but my internal organs are rotting. I’m sorry, life. I didn’t know I was already dead.”
“No need to search my body.”
Was this potential suicide letter in Kris’s car coerced?
Was it her willingly writing it?
You don’t know.
As we have discussed in previous posts, nothing about the Kristin Snyder missing person case makes any sense whatsoever, and the purported “suicide note” found in her vehicle is certainly no exception.
Before we start analyzing the “suicide note,” here are a few factors to keep in mind:
• We know through information from multiple sources that Kristin was a prolific journal writer and letter writer, so we have a plethora of writing samples to compare with this alleged “suicide note.”
• We refer to “the writer” in our discussion of the “suicide note” below. The reason for this phrasing is because the actual writer of this note is unknown. Did Kristin herself write it, either as a explanation for killing herself, or for the purpose of faking her own death? Did someone else write it to make her disappearance appear to be a suicide? Was part of the text written by Kristin and added to by another party? Was the entire note faked? Was the note written by Kristin, but under duress/coercion as Heidi pondered?
• See notes under each section below regarding clear discrepancies between Kristin’s baseline writing style based on the hundreds of writing samples we have obtained from multiple sources through varying times throughout her life.
Now, without further ado, let’s take an in-depth look at this “suicide note” – line by line.
“I attended a course called Executive Success Programs (aka Nexium) based out of Anchorage, AK + Albany, NY.”
• Who is the note intended for? There is no salutation. We have tons of samples of Kristin’s letters and there is always a salutation – AND a date. If this is really her “suicide note,” why wouldn’t she address it to her partner Heidi, friends, coworkers, and/or family – as she always had addressed people in her letters? Similarly, wouldn’t she document the date of the most significant letter of her life, as she did routinely with her letters? In fact, she often even included the specific time (for instance, 7:15 p.m.) that the letter or journal entry was written.
• In addition to a salutation and date on other writing samples, Kris also typically indented her paragraphs and she also usually wrote on each line of the paper in her letters and journal entries, unlike this “suicide note,” which does neither.
• Related to the numerous writing samples we have acquired though multiple sources, Kris also primarily wrote in cursive in both her letters and in her journal. This “suicide note” is an odd hybrid of cursive and print.
• Why would anyone start a suicide note with “I attended a course…”? Clearly, the writer of this note is directing the reader to correlate ESP with the disappearance, but it seems like a very odd place for anyone to start a suicide note. Also, Kris attended two courses, not “a course”; a fact that Kris would have clearly known.
• “aka Nexium” is another oddity. Kris did not take any NXIVM classes, not even one, despite the extensive recent propaganda linking her to NXIVM. Why? Because NXIVM did not even exist at the time of Kristin’s disappearance; it was still in the planning stages. The writer had obviously heard about these plans as evidenced by the phonetic spelling. Again, it is obvious the writer of the note is clearly directing the reader’s attention to ESP/NXIVM – but if Kris were distraught enough to write a suicide note (and as functionally incapacitated as reported by her partner), why/how would she focus on minutiae like this?
• Speaking of minutiae, it gets even more obvious in the next words: “based out of Anchorage, AK + Albany, NY.” First of all, WHO CARES where ESP was based? That is in no way pertinent to the reasoning, and apparently is another clear attempt by the writer to direct the reader toward ESP/NXIVM. Secondly, this information is actually wrong. ESP wasn’t “based out of Anchorage, AK” – they held classes in Anchorage in a rented hotel space. The home base was in NY. Furthermore, Kris knew very well that this information was wrong, having recently visited their NY headquarters herself weeks before her disappearance!
•The words “based out of” (city, state) are odd as well. None of Kristin’s other writing samples did this. Nowhere does she mention elsewhere that anything is “based out of” anywhere in any of her copious writing samples we have obtained.
• Furthermore, why would the note say “Anchorage, AK” anyway? Presumably, Alaska law enforcement would be able to deduce that Anchorage is in Alaska without this unnecessary clarification.
“I was brainwashed + my emotional center of the brain was killed/turned off. I still have feeling in my external skin but my internal organs are rotting.”
• If Kris was brainwashed, she wouldn’t know (at least at the time) that she had been brainwashed. Again, this seems to be yet another clear attempt by the writer to direct the reader to look at ESP.
• Furthermore, if Kris finally did realize that she had been brainwashed, why would she then kill herself?
• The writer switches “my” and “the” in a sentence – something Kris never did, even once, in the hundreds of pages of writing we have obtained. The sentence should read “the emotional center of my brain,” not “my emotional center of the brain.”
• Another oddity is in the redundancy of “external skin.” Again, this sort of mistake does not appear to be Kris’s style, based on other writing samples. She had a Master of Science (M.S.) in Biology and she worked as an environmental consultant to the National Guard. She was a precise, clear, scientific, and articulate writer.
• This passage clearly implies that Kris was suffering from Cotard’s syndrome; per WebMD: “People with Cotard’s syndrome (also called walking corpse syndrome or Cotard’s delusion) believe that parts of their body are missing, or that they are dying, dead, or don’t exist.” We have talked to multiple people who Kris had visited in her January 2003 trip immediately prior to her February 2003 disappearance, and nobody reported any observations of any mental health issues, suicidal ideation, depression, psychosis, nor delusions of any sort. All of the people who discussed Kris’s reported mental health decline stated that they had not personally witnessed any symptoms, but rather, they were told of a rapid decline following Kris’s disappearance.
• If Kris thought she was already dead, why would she kill herself?
“Please contact my parents Bob + Jonnie Snyder at (number redacted) in Dillon, SC if you find me or this note.”
• Why would she specify to contact her parents, who lived out-of-state? Why not her partner? Why, in fact, is Heidi, the love of her life and civil union partner not mentioned AT ALL in the entire note?
• The inclusion of Kris’s parents as the sole contacts listed in the note contradicts a specific story told at the time of the disappearance alleging that Kris had uncovered memories of abuse during the class and that these purported memories were the reason/a factor in her alleged suicide. But: if that story was true, why would she include her father in the note? It should be noted that there is no evidence whatsoever that Kris was abused. As with the alleged rapid mental health decline, people who reported that story were not told of the purported abuse by Kris themselves, but rather, they were told of the purported abuse allegations after her disappearance. In fact, we even have been given a copy of a text message exchange in which the person who spread this abuse claims refers to it as “the lie.” This is yet another example of the myriad of inconsistencies and contradictions that plague Kris’s case.
• Why mention “Dillon, SC”? There is already a phone number given, so the city/state is irrelevant, and also, it is not her typical style. Again, it seems like someone with a quirky tic to mention a city and state wrote this.
• “if you find me or this note” is similarly nonsensical. If someone found her but NOT the note, they wouldn’t see the note, would they? Again, this oddity of wording is inconsistent with Kris’s typically precise style.
“I am sorry, life, I didn’t know I was already dead. May we persist into the future. KRISTN (sic) SNYDER”
• Again, if she thought she was already dead, why would she need to kill herself?
• Why is she addressing “life”?
• “May we persist into the future” is interesting. “Persist into the future” is a phrase used in ecology, which could potentially mean a couple things: a). Kristin wrote this herself; b). Kristin wrote this phrase elsewhere and someone traced/copied it onto the “suicide note”; or c). the writer had seen a document that referred to this phrase and used it.
• WHO LEAVES A LETTER OUT OF THEIR OWN NAME???? The second “I” is missing in “KRISTN.” Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, Kris predominantly wrote in cursive and she typically signed her name in cursive as well. Why, in the most important document of her life, would she BLOCK PRINT her name, and even more bizarre, why would she leave a letter out of her own name? The writer appears to drop letters and cram letters together, but there is no evidence from other writings that Kris did these things.
“No need to search for my body”
• Why was this written on the BACK of the page on the “suicide note”? And why was the note left inside of a notebook to begin with?
• Kris was a member of the Anchorage Nordic Ski Patrol, and therefore, she was involved in search and rescue. Therefore, she would already know that THEY WOULD SEARCH FOR HER ANYWAY. Also, more importantly, why would she intentionally hide her own body and therefore put her colleagues/friends on the search and rescue team through the extensive trouble and potential dangers of conducting the search for her?
• Why write “my body” on the back of the page but write “me” on the front of the page of the note? That is yet another incongruity.
• Why the emphasis on not looking for a body? The writer clearly has a very specific reason to mention this; there is a reason the writer does not want the body found. It is very rare for a person to want to hide his/her own body, and even more rare to be able to successfully do so.

Hey all. I've got an MOTU M4 interface and a MPC Key 61, which is connected to the MOTU's rear input 3 and 4 via a pair of balanced TRS. I also have a Juno-X on the way. I don't want to use the two front inputs on my MOTU for either the Juno or the MPC, as I use them for easy guitar and microphone access. I could get an external mixer or a signal switcher, but would like to avoid if possible. I also don't want to use the Juno-X as my computers 'sound card', because then I'd lose the output to my monitors from my interface.
Is there any drawback - other than not having individual input channels in my DAW - to routing the balanced XLR output of the Juno-X to the two XLR inputs on the MPC, and then passing-through and monitoring/recording the signal via my MOTU? I'm assuming here my signal chain would stay balanced?
I'm hesitant to go this way, as I don't want anything in the MPC or the signal chain to color the sound from the Juno before it hits the interface. I'd like it passed through as cleanly as possible (I believe since it's Zencore powered, it's 24bit/48khz). How can I ensure any pre-amps or processing is disabled in the MPC if I go this route, and would this be a good enough way of getting the audio from my Juno to my interface in a simple and transparent manner? Or will there always be a downside, whether it's coloring the sound or some sort of sample rate conversion, or something I'm not thinking about?
I don't really use the DAW or sequencing function of the MPC Key, so I'm not interested in recording the Juno sounds into the MPC itself, just using it to monitor and pass along some preferably untouched audio from a hardware synth in this instance, so that I can record it via Ableton on my PC.

A rebellion is growing in the kingdom. One that has been in the making for a longer time than our main characters will have been alive. Things are getting worse in the kingdom of Iris. Everyone knows it. Everyone can see that the rebels are getting larger and stronger, but with that, the Royal guard presence is increasing not only within the palace, but also throughout the capital. So what happens when your character, a higher up in the rebellion, is able to slip into one of the princess’ infamous parties and runs into her? What happens as he gets to know more about her? Will he fall for her? Will it happen at the last minute when it might be too late or will she discover who he truly is during an attack on the palace?
Hi, I’m Kat! I’m female, 26, and CST! I am wanting to explore a relationship between a rebel leader and the princess of that kingdom. I have a few twists that I would like to discuss and possibly throw in there. Open to other ideas as well. Can be more fantasy with modern like elements (technology, running water, etc).

I’ve been craving a good enemies to lovers roleplay for awhile now and what’s a better enemies to lovers roleplay than something revolving around the mafia?
Plot idea #1: Your character has recently taken over the family business. My character is a college student on a study abroad trip that happens to see something they weren’t supposed to. Y/C’s men that were handling the deal take her back to the main ‘headquarters’ and keep her locked up, leaving Y/C to deal with her.
Plot idea #2: Your character is in a small gang that is tasked with kidnapping the naive daughter of a mob boss that stole money from another. Basic idea, can be fleshed out more together.
Plot idea #3: your character would be a police officer that’s gone undercover with some small local gangs to bust a couple of drug dealers and whatnot. Having done such a great job there, he is offered a bigger mission and if he takes it, when he returns to his actual station, he will get a bigger raise, new car, K-9 unit, some sort of special thing that he’s been working towards. This bigger mission would be infiltrating a bigger mafia family that seems to be running all these smaller ones. Thanks to some forged documents, lies spread around, and some of the actual dirty work he has done over the last six months, the head of the family invites him to a nightclub to chat. The chat leads to the offering of a position within the family, a personal bodyguard for the mob bosses daughter after the situation that happened with her last one. It’s his first break through and they’re welcoming him with open arms. Does he accept?

I've been doing some research on samplers after watching Andrew Huang's video on the plonk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN37dK9s2MM
For the end of video demo Andrew says he recorded the Plonk onto the 4ms Stereo Triggered Sampler, loaded them onto his computer, sorted and refined them, then sequenced them in a DAW of his choice.
I would like to be able to do all of this in my Eurorack, preferably with one, if not two, module(s).
I was looking into using the Nerdseq with another sample recorder such as the Disting EX, but unfortunately I can't easily pan these samples left and right while pitch shifting as far as I know, ala Aphex Twin.
I've also though of getting a Polyend tracker for this, but I really would like to keep everything contained within my Eurorack case if possible.
The purpose of this will be to create complex drum sequences. What do you all suggest? Is there a module that possibly does all of this?
Requirements: Stereo sample recording based on trigger at 8-bits or higher Fully fledged multi-track sequencer Sequencing CV automation especially for panning and pitch-shifting samples Ability to pan samples in real-time with CV Ability to pitch-shift samples in real time with CV Ability to playback and/or delete sample slices Loop sample slices Change sample slice loop length in real time with CV for snare rushes
Nice-to-have: OLED display Automatic slicing of samples based on transients/threshold Polyrhythms Sequence acceleration and deceleration within a bar Swing and Euclidean Beat repeat effect Granular effect
