2024.05.21 22:46 -CatSoup Day 2 drawing Chip in clothes you guys suggest :D
All done during school. I think the first one looked a little weird because of the angle, but I swear I don't have a better photo :(
Anyway, you guys are free to suggest outfits for me to draw Chip in! I don't do it for the trend, but to distract myself during boring classes.

Hey, I hope everyone's doing well!
Today we return to the namesake of this fic, an actual lesson about animals. This one focuses on Koalas! One of Australia's most recognisable critters. I hope you enjoy.
It's hardly worth mentioning, seeing as I'm an infrequent poster at the best of times, but I'll not have another chapter out for a few weeks due to limited free time and devoting most of my writing time to an upcoming ficnapping. Be sure to look out for that!
[First] [Previous] [Next]
Memory transcription subject: Rysel, Venlil Environmental Researcher Date [Standardised human time]: 8th September 2136 âKoalas!â
Bernardâs energised voice boomed through the air as the classroom's monitor flickered into life, images of this paws lecture topic popping up one after the other until the entire screen was filled with a collage of furry quadrupeds.
Squee! Iâll never get tired of this, itâs all so cool! As usual the sight of something new stirred immediate discussion, hushed murmurs swelling into vibrant discourse in little more than a heartbeat. Most of the class swiftly huddled together into small herds to bounce ideas around while the rest opted to stick to the solace of their own thoughts as they took in the display.
Iâd be quite happy in either situation, though seeing as Sandi had already sunk into deep concentration and Kailo had peeled off to talk with Ennerif and Solenk, it seemed the decision had been made for me on this occasion. Wasting no more time on idle inspection of the people around me, I focused my full attention forward, eager to form first impressions before the lesson began in earnest.
Now then, time to make some educated guesses. What traits does this animal have? I wonder if Iâll get any right this paw? Professional assumptions went paw-in-paw with the lectures, examining and coming up with hypotheses about the specimens was only natural. Recently however, Iâd started to make a little game of it to make things even more interesting than usual. A veritable bonfire of ideas had been set ablaze within me, fueled by my newfound knowledge of Earthen wildlife. Every flash and spark of the flame was a fresh theory I could try to apply to the lectures. It was an invigorating exercise that further stoked my unceasing wonderment.
So far Iâd only done this once during the previous class and, to my disappointment, Iâd not done too well.
I was right when I guessed that chickens were omnivores, but wrong in my assumption that they could fly. And that red thing on their head, the um⊠what was it called? The comb! Yes, the comb. I thought that was to attract mates, but it regulates body heat instead. Itâs fascinating. Oh! Stars damn it Iâm rambling! I bapped my tail against my leg, the soft thud being just enough to snap me back from my runaway thoughts before I went completely wall-eyed. I was becoming more and more accustomed to getting lost in my own head while remaining conscious of the fact; it was happening so frequently now that it was pretty much impossible not to. Now I was able to pull myself back to the world around me without having to rely on someone else shaking me out of it. Most of the time anyway.
Sandi still keeps an eye on me, and Kailo even decided to help out once without being too snide about it. Anyway where was I? Oh yeah, Koalas. Glancing at the furred animals, two things immediately stood out. Firstly, their eyes were in a more central position on their face. And second, all the images showed them being on or close to trees. There were other noteworthy observations of course, such as the Koalaâs prominent nose and rounded features, but they fell to the wayside as I honed in on these points first.
Hmmm⊠ok. I already know to discount the idea that theyâre predators just from eye position, so letâs get that thought out of here. Maybe omnivorous? Herbivore? Agh no, I canât just guess that for the sake of guessing, thatâs the same problem! Hrm, itâs tough making these assumptions now that everything I thought I knew has been turned on its head. Nevermind, Iâll focus on the other thing. All the trees make me think theyâre arboreal, that seems to be a reasonable assumption. I wonder what else they- Clearing his throat, Bernard broke my concentration, his call for attention silencing the murmuring conversation and redirecting everyone's focus to the lecturer's podium.
His gaze panned across the room as he waited for everyone to settle, a beaming smile lighting up his face, âAs ever Iâm delighted to see you all get so into the subject matter from the get go. Iâm looking forward to hearing what you were discussing should you wish to share. For now though, how about we get started, hm?â
A chorus of merry bleats rang out from across the audience, ears and tails flicking happily in agreement. Bernard's grin grew in tandem with the class's fervour, clasping his hands together enthusiastically as he launched into the lesson, âExcellent! Then letâs get started.â
The pictures on screen dissolved away until only one remained, enlarging to cover the entire monitor with the fluffy grey face of a Koala peacefully reclining in the crook of a tree.
âAh, there we are,â Bernardâs baritone timbre drifted through the room as he looked up at the image, his own tone reflecting the relaxed attitude of the animal on screen, âHe looks so comfortable doesnât he? Perfectly at peace with the world, not too surprising considering they sleep almost 20 hours a day. A full paw!â
A wave of beeps and gasps rippled through the herd, punctuated by a single yawn-dressed comment from Rova, âA full paw? Hwuuu⊠jealous.â
Her drowsy remark elicited several whistling giggles from the herd, Bernard's own jovial chortle joining them as he turned to face her, âLate evening Rova?â
I twisted a little in my seat, panning an eye in Rovaâs direction just in time to see her bleary eyes bulge open and her ears shoot up, now intensely aware of the fact she hadnât been as quiet as she thought she had.
Sitting up abruptly, she hastily tapped down errant tufts of wool thatâd flared in surprise as she composed herself, though her nervousness at becoming the centre of the class's attention was still plain for all to hear, âUh- I um⊠achem, a little bit yes, um- âŠsorry. Lokki dragged me out to a movie viewing in the rec centre. It went on pretty late.â
A melodramatic bray from the other side of the room drew everyone's ears away from Rova to the now
aghast Lokki, paw splayed across his chest in faux indignation, â
Dragged you? Well excuse me for trying to broaden your horizons with human movies. Thatâll be the list time I-
âŠAhaaaaâŠâ
Lokkiâs theatrics were cut short by a heavy yawn of his own, a swell of whistling laughter rolling through the herd as vibrant bloom lit up his snout, a sight that elicited a particularly amused bleat from Rova.
Turning away from the duo I looked back at Bernard, pleased to see that he was chuckling along with us. Behaviour like Lokkiâs would never have been tolerated in my school and university days but, in stark contrast, Bernard revelled in it, the liveliness of his students fueling his own bombastic style of teaching. It was a pleasant change of pace having a teacher who let us all be ourselves in class; provided we werenât
too disruptive to the lesson plan.
Speaking of which. His laughter still rumbling through the air, Bernard clapped his hands to pull everyone's focus back to him, âOk, ok, letâs get back to it then shall we? Rova. Lokki. Hopefully the two of you can stay awake long enough until you can grab yourselves a coffee.â
As the class settled down and the last few giggling beeps petered out, Benard pointed a hand to the screen, âSo, the Koala. Letâs start simple shall we? They are herbivorous marsupials native to the eastern and southern coasts of Australia. Easily recognised the world over, they are a well known and beloved symbol of their homeland, along with other animals such as the Kangaroo and the Emu. The former of which you might remember from one of our earlier lectures.â
Indeed I did remember, along with how angry Bernard had gotten after some speh-head had derided the Yotul after he explained how he held specific disdain for such attitudes.
Uuuggghh⊠I never want to see him angry again. So chilling. I shook my ears in an effort to dismiss the unpleasant memory, panning my eyes back to the monitor to try and distract myself by inspecting the Koalaâs physical appearance once more. Thankfully, by some Star's blessed intervention, Bernard had the exact same idea.
âKoalaâs are rather squat in stature, ranging around sixty to eighty-five centimetres in length and weighing little more than fifteen to sixteen kilograms at their full size. As you can see, the fur of this fellow before you is a lovely silvery grey, but their fur can also sport a chocolaty brown hue as well. Arguably the most distinctive part of their appearance is their head, being rather large for their body size and having rounded ears, a large nose, and a pair of small eyes. These are often brown but variations do occur.â
It didnât slip past my notice that Bernard didnât bother to point out that the Koalaâs eyes were forward facing. I didnât think heâd simply forgotten, so perhaps he just felt it wasnât necessary given that heâd already stated it was herbivorous. Either way, no one stuck up a paw or tail to question him.
âNow this will hardly be surprising considering how long they sleep, but Koalaâs are largely sedentary and itâs rather easy to see why when you have a look into the contents of their diet.â
With the press of a button the Koala on screen was replaced by images of vibrant green vegetation. Soaring trees and flowering shrubbery weaved together across landscape framed pictures pulled admiring trills from the herd, the diversity of the plant life being shown standing as a reminder that it wasnât only animal life that flourished on Earth.
After giving everyone the chance to take in the picturesque scenes, Bernard casually hammered that point home, âThis is eucalyptus or, more accurately, a choice selection of more than 700 plants belonging to the eucalyptus genus, though the Koala itself favours 30 of them in particular.â
700!? Stars⊠Realising that my ears had drooped in my momentary awe, I twisted them back to tune into the lesson, only for them to splay out in shock at the next words to come out of Bernard's mouth.
âThe leaves of these plants are the primary food source of the Koala and there are a couple things worth mentioning when talking about these plants. For starters they do not have much nutritional or caloric value, leading to the Koalaâs low-energy lifestyle. Additionally, they contain toxic compounds.â
A shiver instantly ran through the herd, ears flicking rapidly in confusion and alarm followed by a few quizzical whispers. It didnât take long for someone to decide to give a proper voice to the murmuring.
âExcuse me Doctor. Did we hear that right? Their diet is made up of toxic flora?â Vlekâs grumbling incredulity cut through the herd's mutterings with ease. Until Kailoâs recent change of heart, the fifty something rotation old blonde Venlil had been a close second in terms of scepticism. Mercifully his rebuttals had always been relevant questions as opposed to ranting diatribes, so he at least remained on topic if nothing else.
Bernard nodded in confirmation, smiling back at Vlek while absentmindedly twirling the end of his moustache, âYou heard me right, they do indeed consume plants that are toxic. Just not to
them.â
Any worry or uncertainty still clinging to the herd was swept away by the provision of the glaringly obvious answer, leaving me chuckling inwardly at the oversight.
Ah of course! The plant might be poisonous but theyâll have evolved to deal with that. Stars⊠Iâm so used to expecting the unexpected with Earth that I didnât even consider the simplest solution. âI see, thank you Doctor,â Vlek replied, a tinge of interest still audible in his tone, âI assume theyâve developed some adaptation to become immune to the harmful effects?â
The question immediately evoked a smirk from our teacher, but he hurriedly suppressed it while bobbing his head, âThey have indeed. There are several factors that aid in their digestion of eucalyptus leaves without succumbing to the plant's baleful properties. The first is a part of the intestinal tract called the cecum. It contains a microbiome that allows the Koala to digest the eucalyptus. Coupled with this is an enzyme in the Koalaâs liver that helps them break down the toxins. They are also capable of sniffing out the plants with the least amount of toxins, ensuring that they ingest as little as possible.â
Pausing for a breath Bernard looked back at the screen before turning to face us, another grin curling at the edges of his mouth as he continued with his explanation, âThis is mostly for adult Koalaâs, because while their young also possess these same adaptations, they donât just go straight to munching through foliage right after being born. No, they need a little help making that jump and getting a stomach full of all that good gut bacteria. Itâs nothing bad, but those of a sensitive stomach may wish to prepare themselves for this next part.â
Bernardâs assurances did little to assuage the concern that his warning had foisted upon us. Having been exposed to so much of the weirdness Earth had to offer everyone always ended up on edge whenever Bernard gave advice like this, even if he did say it in jest.
What strange nonsense thing do Koala pups do then? Judging by the way heâs acting it probably isnât something as simple as drinking milk from the mother. Hmmm⊠âSo,â Bernard began, snapping us from our pensive stupor, âYoung Koalaâs, known as joeys, have a gestation period of thirty-five days on average, which is approximately forty-two paws. Once born they travel from the birth canal to a pouch in their mother so that they can continue to develop and grow. In the pouch the joey finds and latches onto one of two teats and these provide the newborn with a steady stream of nourishing milk. It spends the next six to seven months growing in the pouch, its eyes, ears, and fur all developing as time goes on.â
Okay, interesting. But this is exactly how I thought itâd go. Whatâs different? The unexpected normalcy of the Koalaâs birth and growth cycle had calmed everyone's nerves, only to be replaced with an air of suspicion as we waited with rapt attention for Bernard to drop the other claw and upend our expectations like he always did.
Not wanting to keep us in further suspense he forged ahead, the tempo of his voice picking up as the smile started to crease his face once more, âNow to make the switch from milk to eucalyptus, the mother also feeds the joey a substance called pap. It comes from the cecum I mentioned earlier, and contains all the gut bacteria required to help the young Koala in making the switch to eucalyptus.â
He stopped and looked around, searching us for a reaction to what I felt was a rather bland statement of fact. What was it he was saying without actually saying? Koala pups drink milk to mature and then include this pap substance so that they can start eating plants. I donât see what-
The cecum is part of the intestine. I blinked.
I blinked again, the intrusive interruption scouring my brain clean of any other thought bar the one itâd just implanted itself in the forefront of my mind.
Oh stars. They- âThey eat their own poop!?â
The shocked bleat shattered the peace of the room to reveal that most if not all of us had come to the same tail curling conclusion. As the hall filled with unrestrained vocalisations of disgust, an âUghâ over here and a âBleghâ over there, Bernardâs own bellowing laughter joined the throng of voices.
â
Ha! Everytime!
Each and every time. Clearly it doesnât matter if my students are Human or Venlil. Whenever someone learns about the Koalaâs dietary development the reaction is the same!â
Pleased with himself beyond reason, Bernard chuckled away while the rest of us grappled with this ghastly reality. While there were plenty of animals that feasted on things that ranged from simply unappealing all the way to the stomach churningly grotesque, Iâd never heard of an animal that actively consumed the excrement of its own species.
Benefits aside, the prospect of having to do that to survive to adulthood sent a shiver of revulsion down my spine.
Ewww⊠Stars, I hope I forget this feeling by 2nd meal. Theyâre serving sturen and magamroot stew later. I was really looking forward to it. With the herds mood beginning to temper Bernard tapped the podiums controls, removing the verdant collage of eucalyptus to display several similar yet distinct environments, still chortling merrily to himself in the process, âOk then, with that little foray into their diet complete, why donât we look at their habitat in more detail? As you might imagine given their diet and arboreal nature, Koalaâs live in forested regions, and can be found in tropical and temperate zones. About a century ago they were classed as a vulnerable species, however efforts were made to turn this around and increase their numbers. Sadly the largest factor in their decline was human activity, as the fertile lands that gave rise to their bountiful forests were coveted farm land for our settlements.â
It was strange to hear Bernard so matter of factly admit to humanity's negative impacts on other species. Heâd alluded to such things in the past but always with an air of caution, carefully pawing the line between honestly answering a question while not painting humanity as uncaring and destructive. AKA, the âpredatorsâ weâd all initially expected them to be.
Perhaps his comfort in making such admissions was a reflection of the class's comfort with him, for no one so much as batted an ear. Even Kailo, who I wouldâve expected to jump at the chance to use this as a prime example of predatory danger, only flicked an ear in stern yet silent concern.
A cough from Bernard drew my attention back, a new picture on screen that showed a forest from a bird's-eye view. Drawn across the image were around a dozen ringed areas, some bordering one another while others overlapped to some degree. It took me a moment, but I soon recognised that what I was looking at was a map, the rings representing what I assumed to be territories. And it didnât take much effort to guess who each one belonged to.
âFrom habitats we move onto behaviours, so letâs start with territories. Koalaâs are solitary animals. Yes, despite being herbivores. Considering theyâre only awake for roughly four hours of the day I can hardly blame them. Lots to do and not a lot of time to do it. Jokes aside, once they mature they are quite independent, carving out a little slice of land for themselves, as displayed in this example, called a Home Range. That is not to say they go it alone and leave everything else behind however. Rather, as shown in the map behind me, they live in their own space while still being part of a larger social group.â
With another press of his pad the picture was updated to show one of two symbols in each segment, along with a key to the side of the map displayed in helpful Venlang. A quick glance told me that the symbols were representing whether the territory belonged to a male or female of the species.
âAs you can see there is quite a bit of overlap between different Koalaâs territories. It is in these areas that most of the socialising takes place between neighbours. The trees in these locations represent the few areas where intrusion across territories is acceptable for the sake of social interaction. Outside of that the Koalaâs stick to their own territories for the most part, with the exceptions of Koalaâs who are passing through, attempting to become part of the social group themselves, or dominant males who sometimes go off into another Koalaâs range. But how do they know where one range begins and another range ends you might ask? Well, this brings us onto the next part of the lecture. How do Koalaâs communicate?â
Wiping away the map from the monitor, Bernard loaded up a video of a Koala sitting in a tree and pressed play. Head held high, the Koalaâs body shook as it belted out a reverberating call into the wilderness that could only be described as a garbled combination of a car engine failing to turn over mixed with the hiccups of someone with a particularly sore throat.
Thatâs how they sound? Oof that must be rough on the lungs. I clearly wasnât the only one to share such a thought, because I clocked Sandi tracing a paw along her neck as the noise went on, ears fluttering in discomfort at the noise.
Bernard himself cleared his own throat as the video came to an end, minimising it and replacing it with another image of a tree with a Koala rubbing up against the bark, âI think theyâve got me beat on whoâs got the deeper voice!â
His joke garnered several amused beeps, a rare reaction that caused a beaming smile to shine across his face at lighting speed, âOh youâre too kind. Iâll be here all week. Now where were we? Oh yes! Communication. As youâve just heard, Koalaâs are capable of loud low pitched bellows that can carry over vast distances. These express everything from âHello Iâm over hereâ to âThis is my turf, stay awayâ. Bellowing is more common in the males than the females, opting for shouting matches as opposed to outright fights when it comes to asserting dominance. Other vocal expressions include grunts, wails, and snarls if theyâre acting particularly angsty. Mother and joey pairs also communicate through gentle clicking, squeaking, and murmuring sounds. And thereâs one more thing worth mentioning. Something they have in common with Humans and Venlil when it comes to emoting.â
Really? They do something we do? Curious, I pressed myself against the desk, straining as close as I could to once more scrutinise the Koalaâs features. Not a lot stood out to me at first, the grey marsupial not sharing many similarities with a Venlil that I could identify.
Ok think. We show emotion with our ears, tails, and our wool on occasion. They donât have tails so itâs obviously not that. Wool standing on end is more a reaction than a conscious expression. So it must be the ears then. To my quiet satisfaction, my hunch was soon validated by Bernard, âAs well as their vocalisations, Koalaâs are very emotive through their facial features. Just like humans, they use their mouths and lips to show how they feel, but these tend more towards the aggressive side of the scale than what you might see on a human. Regarding yourselves however, Koalaâs utilise their ears in tandem with their mouth movements when showing strong emotion.â
I was delighted to hear that my assumption was correct, a little happy flick twisting out through my tail and bapping against my chair with a muted thump against the plastic.
Hehe yes! Got one right! âNow then, we are getting close to lunchtime so Iâll finish this segment off with something I think youâll find particularly interesting. Diplomacy.â
Perplexed mutterings followed in the wake of the bizarre inclusion to the lecture, my own thoughts being dominated by bewilderment as I tried and failed to make sense of how the two could possibly be related.
Why would Koalaâs, or any animal for that matter, be linked to diplomacy? Hmmm... I could understand dispatching exterminators to deal with a predator issue as a show of goodwill, that at least includes animals, but Humans arenât like that so I think I can safely scratch that off the list. Maybe the humans who live in that region benefited from Koalaâs in some way. Could they have gotten something from them? But what? Hopefully not what the pups get from their mothers. Agh no! Begone awful intrusive thoughts. Blegh! I donât need that in my head. As I wrestled with the short-lived revulsion inflicted upon me by my Star's damned subconscious, Bernard placed a new image on screen, one that was decidedly different from all that had preceded it.
On screen were more than a couple dozen pictures of humans. Some were pictured alone while others congregated in large groups while cameras surrounded them from all angles. Across all the images, I noted two common themes. First of all, a solid majority of the humans were wearing formal wear similar to what Iâd seen worn by UN representatives on TV. If the gaggle of journalists in the background of the photos didnât already confirm my suspicions, then it was this similarity which made me conclude they were all people of some importance. Likely politicians judging from context clues.
Secondly, each of the individuals was interacting with a Koala in some form. Some cradled one against their chests while others were feeding it eucalyptus leaves or pellets of some kind. One of the assumed politicians had become an impromptu bed for a snoozing bundle of fur, a gleeful smile spread across their face as they lovingly gazed down at the sleeping Koala in their lap.
As I continued to stare at the assorted photos something clicked into place, a sudden spark flickering into life. A burgeoning light of comprehension that flared and swelled with every wide-eyed breath I took. Some things still escaped me, things I hoped would soon be explained, but in staring at all of the humans happy smiling faces, I was struck with an instant of pure understanding.
If someone, say a Nevok for instance, offered to gift me a creature that was common to them but which might exotic and breathtaking to a Venlil, how could my feelings not be swayed? How could I walk away from that encounter and not have grown closer to them as a result?
âKoala diplomacy,â Bernard waved his hand up at the monitor, a slight reverence in his tone, âMy favourite kind of soft power diplomacy. Where political leaders take photo ops with Koalaâs and, on occasion, the Australian government loans Koalaâs to other nations for a time to bolster positive relations. It certainly helps that Koalaâs are a beloved animal worldwide, drawing large crowds and revenue for countries fortunate enough to host the adorable critters.â
The truly alien concept predictably sparked instant discussion in the herd, two polar opposite schools of thought swiftly cementing themselves as the most popular opinions. Simultaneously, I heard one voice trill excitedly while another scoffed at what they clearly saw as a ridiculous and offensive notion.
â
Squee! Thatâd be so cool! Iâd love to get the chance to see a Liri from Coila. Remember the Rainbow Boa? Think of that shimmering effect and colour but put it on a bird!
Ah! Iâve only heard their song on video. Itâd be a treat to hear it in person!â
Ooo! Iâve read about them! Iâd love to get up close to one. â
Loaning. As if animals are property to be hoarded and traded?
Pugh! Another predatory trait the humans donât want to acknowledge for what it is.â
Ugh, typical. Jump right to the worst possible option. However, despite my dismissal of their disparaging fumings, an uncomfortable thought pressed upon my mind. While it was plain to see how much humans cared for the Koala, it didnât change the fact that humans did keep animals as property just as the scornful herd member had said.
This begged a rather important, disquieting question. Aside from keeping some animals as cattle, a stomach tightening minefield I had no desire to step a claw onto right now, how else did humans
keep other creatures. And how did they treat them?
Before I was fully conscious of doing it my paw was in the air, the question primed on my tongue.
Noticing my elevated paw Bernard pointed at me, smiling warmly, âYes Rysel? Whatâs on your mind?â
Sorry Bernard. I hope this oneâs not too awkward for you to answer. Flicking my ear in appreciation, and waiting for everyone to settle enough so that I could be heard, I voiced my concerns as neutrally as possible, âThank you Doctor. I uh, just had a thought. We know that humans keep certain animals forâŠ
particular reasons, and we know why. From how youâve spoken about Koalaâs I think it's fair to say that the same cannot be said for them. However, this makes me wonder, what other reasons do humans have for keeping animals and how do you treat them?â
A flash of surprise blinked across Bernard's eyes but vanished so quickly that it felt like Iâd imagined it. Had he not expected such a question? Maybe he was just shocked that itâd been me whoâd ended up asking it?
Stars, am I so predictable that no one expects me to ask difficult questions? Unfortunately, a quick glance at my deskmates seemed to prove that to be the case, as both Sandi and Kailo were looking at me with differing degrees of astonishment flapping in their ears.
Well speh. âA very good point Rysel, certainly one thatâs worth raising. Yet another example of you all anticipating what I have to say before I can bring it up myself.â Bernard tapped the podium, switching off the monitor before returning his focus to me, âWe wonât be needing that. Iâve nothing prepared that I can show you and weâre heading to lunch in a few minutes anyway. Still, thatâs plenty of time to give you a bit of an answer.â
A bit? What does he mean just a bit? Made even more curious by Bernard's preempted admission that he wasnât going to fully answer my query, I dialled both my ears on him, fixing him with an inquisitive stare as he started to explain with a tone that was noticeably more nonchalant than any of his previous explanations.
âSo, animals in captivity for reasons other than what you already know. Honestly I would love to delve into other reasons regarding why we keep animals. However, I have a lesson plan in the works that I hope to share with you all in the not too distant future. Some of it touches upon this very topic and Iâd quite like to bundle it all together. That said, I can tell you how animals in captivity are treated. In short, the answer is very well. There are a mountain of laws both on private and public interests that govern the standards and ethical treatment of animals, and breaches of these laws are quite severe even for relatively minor infractions.â
While Iâd be lying if I said I wasnât disappointed by the vague answer to what was really the bulk of my question, I was at least satisfied by Bernardâs assurances that animals in captivity, such as the Koala, were well looked after. Considering the barely subdued grumbling coming from some corners of the audience it was clear that several of the herd didnât believe Bernard outright, but I trusted him to be honest. Additionally, the mention of an upcoming lecture focused on humans keeping animals caused quite the buzz.
I felt a mix of excitement and trepidation at exploring the topic further. Heâd pretty much confirmed we wouldnât be talking about cattle farms, for which I was relieved, but that still left a huge amount of uncertainty in what was to come.
Humans keeping animals as cattle was a forgone conclusion. As horrifying as that reality was, it was one I could understand from a detached and strictly clinical point of view. Being predators they ate meat and therefore they kept cattle. But the concept of keeping animals for any other reason baffled me.
What could be the purpose? The diplomacy thing makes sense now that I have context, but what other reasons could they have. The class's discussions were interrupted by the recognisable ring of the break bell, the shift in attention eliciting a change in conversation from confused hypotheses to peppy conversation on how everyone was planning to spend their break and what they had in mind for 2nd meal.
âWell I can see everyoneâs excited for lunch, and who am I to disappoint,â chuckling Bernard waved us all up from our seats, pocketing his pad from the podium and heading to open the classroom door for us, âEnjoy your break, get a good rest along with a hearty meal, and Iâll see you all back here at the usual time.â
As everyone else filed out I stayed behind, waving at Sandi and Kailo as they left, and pawing over to Bernard once he and I were the only ones left in the room.
Ears folded down and with an apologetic tinge in my voice I greeted him as I sidled up to him, âHey Bernard, I uh⊠sorry if that last question was unexpected.â
Chortling in reply, Bernard waved a hand through the air in a sign Iâd come to understand meant ânot a problemâ.
âNo need to apologise Rysel. It was a good question and most certainly not a problem.â
Heh, called it. I sighed, allowing tension I didnât realise Iâd been holding to relax itself from my shoulders, âPhew, thatâs a relief. Iâm glad. Iâm curious to hear what this new lesson is youâve got in store for us by the way.â
Bernard wagged a finger at me, throwing up his eyebrows in mock amazement, âOh are you now? Well Iâm afraid youâll have to remain curious for the time being. Itâs going to be quite the surprise if all goes to plan. ButâŠâ
He trailed off, glancing at me before looking to the door like he was making sure no one else was around.
Wait, is he going to tell me? Oh please yes let me know now! Stopping myself from jumping on the spot in excited anticipation, and trying my damndest to stop my tail from wagging in equal measure, I stared up at Bernard as he stewed in his thoughts before turning back to face me.
âI canât tell you the specifics, but Iâm working with Alejandro and Tolim to get something together. A trip thatâs not a trip as it were. And when it happens, Iâm going to need a few of the more
accepting members of the class to lend me a hand. Iâm hoping you and a couple others will be able to help with that?â
A trip thatâs not a trip? What does that mean? Agh who cares about that right now! Bernardâs relying on me to help out! Still trying not to keep myself from bouncing around with pup like glee I swished my tail and nodded my head in joint agreement, happy to help with whatever Bernard had in store for us, âOf course! Anything you need Iâll be there to lend a paw. You can count on me!â
A broad warm smile lit up Bernard's face, a hand patting me on the shoulder in appreciation, âThank you Rysel. I knew I could rely on you but it still warms my heart to hear it. And, as thanks for this and for the many times youâve shown your support, the surprise includes a little something special I think youâd appreciate the most.â
If my earlier enthusiasm had been at a nine, then the implication of a supposed gift sent it rocketing all the way to a hundred in a heartbeat.
âWaitâŠ
WHAT!? What do you mean? What are you doing?â
As impossible as it seemed, Bernard's grin grew even wider as I almost lost myself in wool shaking exhilaration, âCall it my own form of Koala diplomacy. But Iâm afraid thatâs all I can say for now. Wouldnât want to ruin the surprise even for you!â
âOh you ass!â Whistling jovially I bapped my tail against Bernardâs leg in fake indignation, evoking a barking bellowing laugh from the man himself.
Still laughing, the two of us departed the class and made for the canteen, my rumbling stomach leading me on while my mind spun with fantastical thoughts as to what Bernard had prepared for us.
And what specifically he had in store for me.

2024.05.21 21:15 bigdinoskin Many are claiming this Manhua "Regenerate Top Players" uses AI art. Do you think so?
| I've read 9 chapters of it myself, it seems decent 4.7/5 on https://chapmanganato.to/manga-xo1001123 . From what I can tell, it looks like the artist draws hard outlines because those are very consistent, you can tell who the characters are and the armor generally is the same. The exception is the small details, easiest to notice on the first female character's clothes. On her white dress, there can be between 1-3 vertical lines. If it is AI, I assume they probably draw their characters and objects from different angles and then turn it into lora. From then on they just use AI img2img to fill in the small details while drawing the overall image itself because the images are complex enough that ai can't just draw it from text prompt alone. And honestly it's not obvious at all, I only checked the clothing when I read comments about it after three chapters. A lot of comments also can't tell if it's ai and only praise how detailed it is, which it absolutely is, each image if not AI, would probably take insane amount of time each. What do you think? Is it obviously AI? Edit: Here's some of what I mean https://preview.redd.it/zn0vltfd3u1d1.png?width=451&format=png&auto=webp&s=129bee7466c07cae1ddac33229cfbd594cd38adc https://preview.redd.it/iekscybe3u1d1.png?width=506&format=png&auto=webp&s=f14d658d196f01f0d344b59103f5c7caa5cdf755 https://preview.redd.it/vpm5jnbf3u1d1.png?width=594&format=png&auto=webp&s=f8a33d676647a55ed69f435d076e82f642a417e8 submitted by bigdinoskin to StableDiffusion [link] [comments] |

2024.05.21 19:45 tilmanbaumann PCB design and parts question 1 Magnetic pogo pin connector
I'm currently pondering a optionally split layout that snaps together with magnets.
Aliexpress is full of magnetic pogo pin connectors. But any technical drawings or even footprints are far and wide.
Does anyone know some common parts? They should be 90 degree PCB mounted and ideally have a way to fix them on the PCB (Via screw hole or pads)
https://github.com/zzeneg/duet uses a basically VIK compatible 12 pin connector. But they need to use a right angle adapter PCB for mounting the connector. I suppose I could use 90 degree screw brackets to achieve the same thing.
But I honestly don't really have a use-case for such a monstrous connector. Standard I2C plus power pins would be plenty. Basically any USB style pogo connector.
The connector should be really strong. I want the magnetic holding force to be enough to keep the two halves together without designing any additional case connections or magnet holes. All mechanical aspects should be on the PCB. If I ever make a case it should be optional.
In case I use the 4-pin USB style connectors I think I will use two connectors a few cm apart for more mechanical advantage and so I can later perhaps route some pins to a touchpad interconnect piece.
Ideally I find it at any of the big suppliers or LCSC...
Of course I can find one. But if anyone tested any such connectors already and can make recommendations...

2024.05.21 19:37 Inevitable-Photo-368 how do you out line your art if youre drawing a character? pls help
I'm new to acrylics. I used to paint with watercolors. I usually don't mix my acrylics with water. I find it extremely hard to draw thin consistent lines and details as such
the brush tip dries out on canvas texture. I just ruined a painting I worked hard on because I got to lining the character
I also find it hard to get it corders or paint sharp corners on sharp angles with acrylics. not like watercolors. because I'm not using tip because I can't
any videos that can help? or any tips?

2024.05.21 18:38 Time-Range6311 Erasing causing issues
| I am trying to use illustrator to sketch and erase like a sketchbook would. Iâm using the pencil feature with smoothing set to 0, then erasing through those lines and when I erase, itâs creating additional lines as if they were drawn with the pencil tool. Maybe related, I notice when I draw with the pencil, there is a similar jumpiness that Iâm not drawing. As I draw smooth lines, it sort of juts out in sharp angles that I did not draw, similar to what happens when I erase. The rules say to post a screenshot or video, but itâs not letting me attach a video which makes this hard to show. The first photo is the before. The second photo is after doing one straight line of erasing through it- youâll see it has created black pencilled lines along the path of the erase, even though those lines werenât there prior. No tutorial seems to cover this. Thank you submitted by Time-Range6311 to AdobeIllustrator [link] [comments] |
2024.05.21 18:33 Aginagala WWF In Your House - Ground Zero 1997 Review
Welcome back to my running series of WWF PPV Reviews from a âblindâ perspective (I have no idea whatâs going to happen; the results, the feuds or how good any of the matches will be). I have always heard stories of the attitude era and golden age but never watched it myself so I set myself to watching every single PPV event chronologically. I am also watching Wrestling Bios âreliving the warâ series to keep me updated inbetween the events with the feuds, and to get excited about upcoming matches.
Before I review the matches, based on the past few episodes of raw and last PPVs Iâll let you know, going into the event, which match Iâm most excited for and which feud Iâm most excited to see.
The match and feud Iâm most excited to see is Shawn vs undertaker. I mean what needs to be said their feud is absolutely legendary, and with my favourite match of all time coming in the future between these two I cant wait to see how they perform together in these early years.
WWF In Your House - Ground Zero 1997 Match Ratings
Goldust vs Brian Pillman 2/5
Scott putski vs Brian Christopher 1/5
Savio vega vs Faarooq vs Crush 0.25/5
El torito vs Max Mini 1.5/5
Tag Fatal 4 way elimination match 1.75/5
The patriot vs Bret Hart 3.25/5
Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker 4.75/5
I cannot believe they pulled the âsheâs my love childâ story itâs so funny to look back on these storylines. Goldust and Pillman are set to fight and thereâs a huge grudge for Goldust here so Iâm hoping to see a physical bout.
Which it wasnât⊠while it was a good bout with no botched or anything, and it was better than their Summerslam match. I saw pillman was limited due to an ankle problem he had, which is kinda weird with the amount of running around he did, but they still had a decent match. Honestly though this draw of this match was where the story was going and it definitely went đ Pillman managed to win the match by whacking Goldust with a brick concealed in marlenas bag, and literally drags marlena to his car where he drove off with her. Classic wwf is so hilarious.
The next match was the first time Iâm seeing putski and Christopher wrestle and it was actually going well until that ending. I thought they pulled off some very clean looking spots but the crowd was completely dead for almost all of this match, especially after the match, just no one seemed to care. I didnât really care for this Brian Christopher he was laughing like a clown or something, not even a figure of speech it was literally like a clown. He mightâve been trying to impersonate Lawler but it was just weird. Iâm not sure if putski was actually injured or not it was pretty hard to tell but this match seemed like it was 3 or 4 minutes long of pretty dull action.
Going into the next match and honestly Iâm pretty bored of these pointless gang wars but letâs see if it can deliver. Maybe rock will get involved and liven it up but all three competitors in this triple threat have yet to put on a good show during my journey through the new gen/attitude era. Also I feel like this is the first triple threat match Iâve seen since KOTR 1996 so thereâs some level of excitement for me as it can make for a really entertaining match when done right.
I was surprised to see crush get a pop as I hadnât heard one before when he made his entrance, but a big biker dude coming in on a massive Harley will get an American crowd going I suppose đ. But oh man once the match got going there was actually boos going throughout the stadium for the last 1/3 of it. They were trying some weird thing where they played on the fact that they both used to be part of the NOD in which theyâd team with farooq on sadio vega but oh my lord it didnât work at all, it just came off like they had no idea what they were doing. There were no highlights at all, and the last 5 minutes was crush throwing vega out the ring to use moves solo on farooq to which heâd come back in the ring, break the pin and repeat the process. Then he randomly wants to team with crush after all that?? It made no sense at all and was just a bad match, the crowd wasnât into it and booed during quite a bit of the match, big miss.
Iâm just gunna call it a âmini-matchâ and Iâm sure youâll know what Iâm talking about but it ended up being entertaining for what it was in all fairness, much better than the match Iâd just seen anyway. It was more of a funny performance than a match; they both end up biting everyoneâs asses? Including the referee, and mini goes and steals lawyers crown too. El torito is bloody nuts, his character is basically to act like a bull so he chases refs and officials around trying to headbutt them, fu**ing nuts đ. I do think it went on a little too long though, if theyâre going to book this kind of match then it should be short and sweet filler rather than dragging it on. There was however a pretty good looking springboard move close to the end so that was cool. There were some impressive moves and the crowd was getting involved but Itâs just some filler while the show gets going in the end.
Very good idea having dude love and Austin come out inbetween the matches to relinquish the titles as this crowd REALLY needed some livening up after the past hour of the show. And when Steve starts his promo the crowd eats up every second of it and itâs no surprise because he kills it as usual, what a breath of fresh air SCSA is in the WWF during this era. Heâs throwing insults to Vince, to the sergeant to JR and itâs f***ing brilliant. Itâs cool seeing dude love backing him up as well I think they actually make a really cool looking tag team. And then out of god damn nowhere he delivers a stunner to JR and the crowd absolutely loses it. I would say at this point he is truly the face of the WWF and it really does suck that he suffered that neck injury and couldnât wrestle properly for a while, having to change his entire wrestling style because of it, but it was never to his detriment, weâre truly in the stone cold era now.
Before the fatal four way, while the LOD get interviewed I couldnât help but notice how young Michael Cole looks, I mean obviously itâs over 25 years ago but still cool seeing how long heâs been involved.
I really donât understand these fatal four way tag matches, they always come off weirdly as you can have two people from the same team in the ring that have to wrestle⊠but it makes no sense because why not just tag someone else in? I donât know itâs a weird dynamic and Iâm not surprised they dropped this type of match in the future.
Itâs a shame LOD was the first to be eliminated because they randomly started beating the godwinns with a metal bucket? It makes 0 sense for them to blindly DQ themselves from getting the tag titles since they were crowd favourites, but okay you do you Vince. I wanted them to win too. I know a few people donât care for LOD but theyâre top 2 tag teams in the wwf right now beside Owen and bulldog. The godwinns get eliminated next (thank god), and they just feel like the most filler tag team Iâve ever seen theyâre SOOO bland and basic, they donât even play up to their hillbilly characters anymore which is a new level of bad I wonât lie. I was really REALLY surprised that headbangers took away the belts though, with the massive push of the hart foundation I thought it was a no brainer. It was awesome seeing Austin come in and disrupt the match, he absolutely brings the whole arena completely alive whenever he does anything. Overall though the match was bad and it went on far too long even with four teams. I think the ending was pretty fun but that was only about 2 minutes of the match that was entertaining the rest just felt veryyyy slow.
Man this event has really gotta pull out some f***ing 5/5 main events for it to be worth watching because weâre 1 hour 45 minutes in without a match over 2/5 at most.
When I hear Kurt angles theme playing I was so happy, excited, confused, and then disappointed when I realised it was 3 or 4 years too early. I had no idea they kept this theme and used it for Kurt angle as well as patriot.
I have a small inkling that Bret hart didnât perform as well as he couldâve in this match because he was annoyed about Shawn getting the top spot after everything thatâs gone down and him working more regularly recently than Shawn. Patriot wasnât a bad wrestler but his character was extremely bland, what would happen after this feud? Heâd just be a guy thatâs proud to be from America that looks like a Mexican wrestler⊠in the time of big characters making the main events he unfortunately doesnât really fit in that well. His in ring ability was good though, no botches or anything but I just couldnât really feel myself getting into this match. I didnât really know if theyâd book patriot in to take the wwf title as I was pretty sure they wouldnât want hart to lose his title being such a huge name in the business right now. It was pretty fun when Vader and bulldog came out for some extra drama with them interfering with each of the wrestlers but itâs not a good sign when a match needs drama like that to elevate it. Itâs better than what weâve seen tonight but not particularly worth watching. If you love Bret hart give it a watch as he was his usual fantastic in ring performer but itâs not one of his best for sure. The crowd was really into it, making the hard camera shake chanting âUSA USAâ, so that was cool, but Iâm not entirely sure if itâs because of the crowd or because it was such a small venue. Also worth noting Bret hart is a perfect heel character, heâs a massive star with a character that works perfectly as a heel because he sprinkles some IRL elements into everything he does. The move of breaking the American flag pole and the strangling patriot with the flag is just brilliant, makes it that extra bit more believable and I love it, Americans however mustâve hated it!
Shawn Michaels entrance was so hilarious, he gets hit by a⊠idk what that even was, a brown cabbage? He makes BJ notions to the crowd, his pyro doesnât go off properly in the ring like it usually does, and he still pulled it off because heâs HBK, fantastic. This FEELS like main event material though and Iâm really excited for it. Sometimes main events donât really build up properly and just havenât got that hype behind it but this match should be great. The first of many times weâd see these legends in the ring together.
Starting off the match right too with undertaker taking out the referee and allowing undertaker to take it to the outside and absolutely lay into Michaelâs without a count out. I absolutely loved Shawnâs selling during this match too, itâs so over the top that itâs brilliant, with one of his famous vertical presses while he gets kicked in the belly whilst in the corner, love it. Him begging to the ref to dq undertaker, trying to escape through the door of the set and banging on the door, it all works really well and he plays up undertakers character perfectly. I hate when wrestlers forget theyâre supposed to play up this undertaker being very scary it really takes away immersion but Shawn does it perfectly. The boos for undertaker seem to be from the women only and the cheers for Shawn seem to be from the women only, of course đ. I also love seeing the origins of d generation x, one of my all time favourite tag teams as Iâm sure is the same with everyone else. HHH makes his way down to the ring with a referee to replace the numerous ones that have been taken out during this match, and they are just the perfect team together I love it.
The actual match I thought was really really fun. It was absolute chaos and maybe not a wrestling masterclass but you canât deny it was fun. From start to finish we go through 3 referees, we get strangling with power chords, we get triple H and HBK telling the crowd to suck it, and an amazing back and forth showcase from Michaelâs and undertaker. I think this match did an absolutely fantastic job and reinstating the undertaker as the most intimidating wrestler in the wwf. The poor referees during this match though, they got absolutely abused. The only thing I didnât like about this match was the ending. Another random referee comes to the ring to end the match as a DQ, which is a really stupid ending because illegal stuff had already happened when the other referees came to the ring so why wouldnât they have ended it then? The action continues after the match with undertaker almost soloing Michaelâs and HHH. More officials come to the ring as Michaelâs beats the hell out of them. And then other wrestlers are forced to come to the ring to try and break the two up which was awesome to see. This really sets up further matches between the two, and I think thatâs was the whole idea of the match which worked well, itâs just that I hate these random DQ endings to main events. We see the undertaker flying over the top rope for⊠I think the first time? Correct me if Iâm wrong but Iâm pretty sure thatâs the first time Iâve seen it in this era which was of course AWESOME!! Overall a really fun match that sets up for further main events but itâs held back by its weird and stupid decision. Itâs still well worth a watch if you enjoy this feud however.
Overall, whilst the main event hit all the right places for me I just donât think the WWF was ready for a 3 hour event yet. They simply didnât have the roster for it to be enjoyable and so many of these matches went way longer than they had any business doing. I think Bret hart is always gunna deliver so he was fun to watch but it just want one of his best but the main event hit in every single way apart from the finish which I understand is setting up for further matches but ughhhh it was done weirdly and poorly. If youâre gunna watch this event, skip everything but the main event itâs just not worth sitting through everything else.
Overall rating 2.75/5

2024.05.21 16:57 Shagrrotten The Greatest Car Chases in Movie History, Ranked
Taken from:
https://www.theringer.com/movies/2024/5/21/24161120/greatest-movie-car-chase-scenes-ranked-furiosa-mad-max-saga In honor of the imminent âFuriosa: A Mad Max Saga,â weâre shifting into high gear to determine the best chase scene in cinema history
By
Miles Surrey May 21, 2024, 6:30am EDTGetty Images/Ringer illustration
After wowing audiences with
Mad Max: Fury Road, director George Miller returns to the franchiseâs post-apocalyptic wastelands for
Furiosa, the epic origin story of the eponymous heroine (now played by Anya Taylor-Joy), premiering on Friday. As the follow-up to one of the greatest action films ever made, itâs hard to overstate the hype for
Furiosa, and that was
before word got out about a showstopping
15-minute sequence that required nearly 200 stuntpeople and took 78 days to shoot. While
Furiosa will have its own distinct flavor, as is true of every
Mad Max movie, thereâs one thing that unites these projects: intense, jaw-dropping scenes of vehicular mayhem. And what better way to honor the franchise than by celebrating what it does best?
Ahead of
Furiosaâs release, weâve put together our definitive ranking of the best car chases in cinema. There werenât any strict rules in place, other than capping the list at 20âmostly for my own sanityâand limiting every franchise to one entry. (Apologies to
Fury Roadâs kickass predecessor
The Road Warrior.) We also wonât discriminate against scenes that feature motorbikes, so long as cars (and/or trucks) remain part of the equation. As for what, exactly, constitutes a good car chase? Like list making, itâs bound to be subjective, but I tend to gravitate toward two key elements: the skill of the stuntwork on display and the ways in which a filmmaker conveys the action in relation to the story. (Also, the less CGI, the better.) Buckle up, âcause weâre not wasting any time shifting into high gear.
20. Quantum of Solace (2008)
There have been some memorable car chases in the
James Bond franchise: the
first sequence featuring the iconic Aston Martin DB5 in
Goldfinger, the
corkscrew jump in
The Man With the Golden Gun, the
Lotus Esprit submarine in
The Spy Who Loved Me. But Iâm going with a somewhat controversial pick here:
Quantum of Solace. There are many issues with
Quantum of Solaceânamely, it was one of the most high-profile blockbusters
affected by the 2007-08 writers strikeâbut its opening scene isnât one of them. Picking up right where
Casino Royale left off, we find Bond (Daniel Craig) evading henchmen through the narrow roads around Italyâs Lake Garda. The frenetic, furious chase mirrors Bondâs sense of anguish after losing Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), the woman he opened his heart to, and his relentless quest for answers. Itâs a thrilling tone-setter for
Quantum of Solace and one that doesnât overstay its welcome, capped off by Bond sending his final pursuers flying off a cliff:
If weâre being honest, though, it feels like
James Bond has yet to create a franchise-defining car chase. Perhaps thatâs a mission the newest 007, whoever it ends up being, can undertake.
19. Mission: ImpossibleâRogue Nation (2015)
The
Mission: Impossible franchise is no stranger to electrifying chase scenes, the best of which find
Tom Cruiseâs Ethan Hunt working up his heart rate. When it comes to action behind the wheel, though,
Fallout tends to dominate the discussionâeven on this
very website. But I think the vehicular chase in
Rogue Nation is being slept on. What we have is effectively two sequences for the price of one: The first finds Hunt pursuing Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson) by car through the narrow streets of Casablanca alongside some nefarious henchmen; the second sees him continue the chase outside the city on motorbike. (Adding to the chaos: Hunt had only just been resuscitated, and heâs clearly not all there.) In terms of death-defying stunts for the audienceâs entertainment, a helmetless Cruise taking corners like a MotoGP racer is childâs play compared to his other exploits, but the actorâs authentic reaction to scraping his knee on the road underlines that thereâs no one else in Hollywood doing it like him:
Weâll be sure to update this ranking if and when Cruise does something even more dangerous down the road, pun unintended.
18. Vanishing Point (1971)
A movie that counts the likes of Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino among its biggest fans,
Vanishing Point is the first of a few entries on this ranking thatâs essentially one extended car chase. The film stars Barry Newman as Kowalski, a man tasked with delivering a Dodge Challenger T 440 Magnum from Colorado to California while eluding police across four states. One of Kowalskiâs most memorable run-ins comes when a guy driving a Jaguar E-Type convertible challenges him to an impromptu race. Incredibly, weâre expected to believe the man in the Jag comes out of
this crash in one piece:
Vanishing Point might not boast the impressive production values of other movies on this list, but considering Tarantino would go on to feature a white Challenger in
Death Proof, its influence in the car cinema canon is undeniable.
17. Fast Five (2011)
Letâs face it,
Fast & Furious has seen better days. Some believe the franchiseâs dip in quality coincided with the death of Paul Walker; others are dismayed by the pivot from street racing to absurd feats of superherodomâemphasis on the Dom. Perhaps itâs a bit of both, but the very best movie in the series,
Fast Five, manages to strike the perfect balance: Itâs a relatively grounded heist thriller that nevertheless takes the franchise to ridiculous new heights. After Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew steal $100 million from a Brazilian kingpin, they drag the entire bank vault holding the money through the streets of Rio de Janeiro, all while being pursued by authorities. Itâs a delightfully destructive sequence that does untold damage to Rioâs infrastructure and features some of the most bone-crunching crashes committed to film:
If the
Fast franchise is going to break out of its recent slump, it would do well to remember that thereâs nothing better than letting its heroes live their lives a quarter mile at a timeâno
detours to outer space required.
16. The Blues Brothers (1980)
A good car chase isnât reserved just for action flicks: Comedies can get in on the act, too. In
The Blues Brothers, starring the recurring
Saturday Night Live characters played by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, the beloved bandmates must prevent the foreclosure of the orphanage where they were raised by scrounging together $5,000. Naturally, thatâs easier said than done: Along the way, the Blues Brothers draw the attention of neo-Nazis, a country-and-western band, and local police. While
The Blues Brothers has amusing gags and musical numbers, its chase sequences with the Brothers behind the wheel of a 1974 Dodge Monaco are what really steal the showâand none are better than a climactic pursuit across Chicago. More than
60 old police cars were used in the film, some of which are wrecked in a comically over-the-top pileup:
The sheer scale of
The Blues Brothersâ final set piece is commendable in and of itselfâas is the movieâs commitment to treating real-life cars like a bunch of Hot Wheels.
15. Baby Driver (2017)
For good and for ill, Edgar Wrightâs movies exude an abundance of style, and
Baby Driver is no exception.
Baby Driver is centered on a clever gimmick: The action works in tandem with its soundtrack because the filmâs protagonist, Baby (Ansel Elgort), suffers from tinnitus and constantly plays music to drown out the ringing. When everythingâs clicking into place,
Baby Driver feels like a supersized series of music videos, and nothing hits quite like its opening sequence. Baby acts as the getaway driver for a bank robbery while listening to the Jon Spencer Blues Explosionâs âBellbottoms.â The ensuing chase works around rhythms of the song, as if Babyâs
Subaru WRX were the star of its own dance number. Take nothing away from the actual driving, either, which puts the rally car to good use:
Baby Driverâs gimmick stretches a little thin by the end, but itâs hard to deny the crowd-pleasing power of Wrightâs film when itâs firing on all cylinders.
14. The Raid 2 (2014)
With a trio of kickass Indonesian martial arts films under his belt, Gareth Evans has established himself as one of the most exciting action directors on the planetâsomeone who seems most in his element staging positively brutal hand-to-hand combat. In
The Raid 2, however, Evans also brought his signature brand of carnage to the road. While thereâs some cleverly executed close-quarters fighting within the confines of an SUV, courtesy of Iko Uwaisâs hard-hitting protagonist, what really cements this sequenceâs greatness are the moments when Evans turns the cars into an extension of the charactersâ fists:
This belongs in an entirely new category of combat: car fights. There are so many action scenes in
The Raid 2 worth writing home aboutâthe
kitchen showdown is an all-timerâbut the fact that Evans casually tossed in an unforgettable car chase shows why heâs one of one.
13. The Driver (1978)
Iâll say this for Walter Hillâs
The Driver: It sure lives up to its title. In this stripped-down thrillerâone where none of the characters have a nameâwe follow the Driver (Ryan OâNeal), a getaway driver who has become a thorn in the side of the LAPD. In the filmâs best scene, we see its taciturn protagonist living up to his reputation. With the Driver behind the wheel of a 1974 Ford Galaxie, a cat-and-mouse game unfolds when a handful of police cars are hot on his tail. What I love about this sequence is the pared-down nature of it all: The Driver outwits the cops as much as he outraces them. (Though, ironically, that wasnât entirely by design: As
Hill later explained, an accident on the last night of shooting meant they had to cobble together what had already been filmed.) Frankly, youâd never know the difference from the finished article:
If the general vibes of
The Driver seem familiar, thatâs because it was a major inspiration for
Nicolas Winding Refnâs Drive, which just so happened to feature an unnamed protagonist (Ryan Gosling)
evading police through the streets of Los Angeles.
12. The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
The shaky-cam style of the
Bourne franchise isnât for everyoneâjust ask
John Wooâbut credit where itâs due: These movies know how to deliver a good chase scene. (A friendly reminder that
The Bourne Legacy is an underrated gem with an
awesome motorbike sequence to boot.) But thereâs one
Bourne chase that stands above the rest: the Moscow getaway in
The Bourne Supremacy. After being wounded by the Russian assassin Kirill (Karl Urban), Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) hijacks a taxi, with both the police and Kirill in hot pursuit. This isnât the kind of sequence that lingers on any one shot; instead, what makes it work is the frenetic nature of the editing, which allows the viewer to feel like theyâre in Bourneâs fight-or-flight headspace:
If Iâm being honest, Iâm usually one of those people who doesnât like the Bourne moviesâ shaky-cam style, but when itâs executed with such craftsmanship, you canât help but get caught up in its adrenaline-pumping power.
11. The Seven-Ups (1973)
Philip DâAntoni was the producer of two movies featuring Hall of Fame car chases,
Bullitt and
The French Connection, the latter of which won him an Oscar for Best Picture. And with his lone directorial feature,
The Seven-Ups, DâAntoni sought to craft an iconic sequence of his own. The film stars Roy Scheider as NYPD detective Buddy Mannuci (
elite Italian American name; I can practically smell the gabagool), who commands a unit handling major felony cases that lead to seven-plus-year prison sentences; thatâs why theyâre known as the Seven-Ups. Midway through the movie, when one of the team members is killed by two shooters who flee the scene, Buddy chases after them. The 10-minute sequence, which starts in the Upper West Side before moving out of the city, is thrillingly immersive, alternating between close-ups of the characters and wider shots of all the damage theyâve caused. But the chaseâs defining moment comes right at the end, when Buddy narrowly avoids a grisly death:
The sequence isnât
quite at the level of
Bullitt or
The French Connectionâvery few areâbut DâAntoni still manages to leave an unmistakable imprint on the car chase canon.
10. Death Proof (2007)
If you ask Quentin Tarantino,
Death Proof, his knowingly trashy tribute to exploitation cinema, is the
worst movie heâs ever made. But that doesnât mean there isnât a lot to admire about the film, which honors the unsung heroes of Hollywood: stunt performers. The first half of
Death Proof follows three female friends who cross paths with Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell), a misogynistic serial killer who takes them out in his âdeath-proofâ Chevy Nova. Fourteen months later, a group that includes stuntwoman ZoĂ« Bell, playing herself, also lands on Mikeâs radar. As Bell and her friends test out a â70s Challenger, she performs a âshipâs mastâ stunt, clinging onto the hood of the car with fastening belts. Unfortunately, when Mike pursues the women, it puts Bell in a precarious situation. Most of the entries on this list celebrate some next-level driving skills, but
Death Proofâs inclusion is all about Bell pulling off one of the wildest stunts youâll ever see. Sheâs quite literally hanging on for dear life:
If the Academy handed out
Oscars to stunt performersâand letâs hope it does happen one dayâBell wouldâve won in a landslide.
9. To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)
William Friedkin was already responsible for an all-time great car chase in
The French Connection (more on that later), but the filmmaker made a commendable bid to outdo himself with
To Live and Die in L.A. In this neo-noir thriller, Secret Service agent Richard Chance (William L. Petersen) is hell-bent on arresting an expert counterfeiter, Rick Masters (Willem Dafoe), who kills Chanceâs partner days before his retirement. To capture Masters, Chance and his new partner, John Vukovich (John Pankow), attempt to steal $50,000 from a jewelry buyer for an undercover operation. The sting goes bad when the buyer, who is later revealed to be an undercover FBI agent, is killed and a group of gunmen goes after Chance and Vukovich. Itâs a clever inversion of the usual car chase formulaâthis time, itâs the lawmen running away from the criminals. The outside-the-box thinking extends to the filmâs most astonishing stretch, in which Chance evades the gunmen by
driving into oncoming traffic:
The fact that
Friedkin shot the chase at the end of filmingâin case anything disastrous happened to the actorsâunderscores just how risky the endeavor was. The pulse-pounding results speak for themselves.
8. The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
The
Matrix sequels have never been held in high esteem, but Iâm ready to live my truth:
The Matrix Reloaded fucking rules. (If anyoneâs got a problem with this take, file your complaints with the Architect.) Whatâs more, the film happens to boast the finest action set piece of the franchise: the highway chase. After Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) free the Keymaker (Randall Duk Kim), a program capable of creating shortcuts within the Matrix, theyâre pursued by
the Twins (Neil and Adrian Rayment). Morpheus once warned that going on the freeway was âsuicide,â and it doesnât take long to see why: The chase draws the attention of several Agents, who repeatedly take over the bodies of other drivers on the road. The scene is the best of both worlds: Thereâs some incredible stuntwork on display, including when Moss weaves around on a Ducati, and CGI augments some feats of superhuman strength. But the most jaw-dropping aspect of the sequence is how it came together, as the production spent
$2.5 million to construct its own highway (!) on Californiaâs Alameda Island. If that werenât unique enough, Iâm pretty sure
Reloaded is also the only movie in existence in which a katana takes out an SUV:
The Matrix remains the Wachowskisâ masterpiece, but donât get it twisted: The filmmakers were still cooking with gas in the sequel.
7. Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)
Size isnât everything, but for H. B. Halicki, who produced, wrote, directed, and starred in
Gone in 60 Seconds, itâs certainly part of the package. The indie action flick follows Maindrian Pace (Halicki), a Los Angeles insurance investigator who has a lucrative side hustle jacking high-end cars. The plot kicks into motion when a South American drug lord enlists Pace to nab 48 cars within five days in exchange for $400,000. Of course,
Gone in 60 Seconds is best known for what happens after Pace is caught stealing a 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1, when he leads police on a chase that lasts a whopping 40 minutes. (More than 90 cars were destroyed in the process.) Halicki, for his part, did all the driving himself, including a spectacular jump off a makeshift ramp of crashed cars:
While Halicki wound up making a few more indies after
Gone in 60 Seconds, he
died in an accident on the set of its sequel. His legacy as a do-it-all daredevil, however, lives on.
6. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Long before James Cameron immersed himself in the world of Pandora, he was a pioneer of state-of-the-art visual effects. Case in point:
Terminator 2: Judgment Day is credited for having the
first CGI character in a blockbuster, the T-1000 (Robert Patrick), a killing machine composed of a futuristic liquid metal. But Cameron also understood that the CGI of that era shouldnât be the main attraction: It worked best as a complement to the practical effects, as seen in
Judgment Dayâs epic viaduct chase. When the T-1000 tracks down a young John Connor (Edward Furlong) in a shopping mall, heâs saved at the last minute by the Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), giving John a chance to escape on his dirt bike. As the T-1000 gives chase, the David and Goliath vibes between man and machine are further epitomized by the T-1000âs commandeering of a truck. The sequence already has a terrifying sense of urgency, but it hits another level when the T-1000 crashes through the viaduct like the Kool-Aid Man:
Big Jim is still revolutionizing what can be achieved with visual effects in the
Avatar franchise, and while I cherish those movies, nothing beats his old-school showmanship.
5. Duel (1971)
The feature-length debut of Steven Spielbergâperhaps youâve heard of himâthe TV movie
Duel is essentially one extended chase sequence between salesman David Mann (Dennis Weaver) and a sinister trucker determined to drive him off the road. Iâve attached a clip from the ending of the film, but that doesnât do
Duel justice. What cements this movieâs greatness is how it sustains an unbearable level of tension across its 90-minute running timeâwith a budget under $500,000, no less. Spielbergâs masterstroke is never once showing us the other driver, anthropomorphizing the truck itself as a monster. (You can see a lot of similarities with how he would build suspense in
Jaws.) When Mann finally gets the upper hand, tricking his adversary into driving off a cliff, it feels like you can breathe again:
Spielberg would move on to bigger and better things after
Duel, but considering how much the director accomplished with so little, you canât help but wonder what else he could conjure up with limited resources.
4. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Like
Duel,
Fury Road is basically one long car chaseâthe difference is Miller got to work with a blockbuster budget, and made every cent of it count. Itâs hard to pick a single standout sequence in
Fury Road, but if I had to choose, Iâd go with the first attack on the War Rig after Furiosa (Charlize Theron) flees with the wives of Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne). Hereâs why: Think back to when you saw
Fury Road for the first time, before you fully grasped the vehicular carnage that was in store. And then stuff like
this kept happening:
To quote
Steven Soderberghâs thoughts on
Fury Road: âI donât understand how theyâre not still shooting that film and I donât understand how hundreds of people arenât dead.â Whether or not Miller manages to one-up the action in
Furiosa, the director is already in the pantheon.
3. The French Connection (1971)
We return to the Friedkin-verse for what may be his best film,
The French Connection, the crime thriller based on Robin Mooreâs 1969 nonfiction book of the same name. The story concerns two NYPD detectives, Jimmy âPopeyeâ Doyle (Gene Hackman) and Buddy âCloudyâ Russo (Roy Scheider), and their tireless pursuit of a French heroin smuggler. But while thereâs plenty to admire about how
The French Connection illustrates the thin line between police and criminals, its greatest claim to fame is its car chase. After Popeye narrowly survives a sniper attack, he goes after the shooter, who escapes on an elevated train. The ensuing sequence is true daredevil filmmaking that
Friedkin shot without permits, leading to real crashes with New Yorkers that made the final cut. But Friedkinâs finest touch was mounting a camera to the front of the car, making the audience feel like theyâre part of the action:
My
Ringer colleague Justin Sayles believes
The French Connectionâs chase shouldâve landed at no. 1, and Iâm sure many folks will agree with him. Being the only film on this list to win Best Picture, however, is a solid consolation prize.
2. Bullitt (1968)
When it comes to modern car chases, all roads lead back to
Bullitt. A Dad Cinema classic, the film stars Steve McQueen as Frank Bullitt, a San Francisco detective who pursues a group of mobsters after a key witness is killed in protective custody. In his search for answers, Bullitt realizes heâs being tailed by a couple of hitmen, and then turns the tables on them. From there, the chase is on. Aside from McQueen doing most of his own stunts behind the wheel of a Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback, whatâs so impressive about the sequence is how timeless it is. Even the little imperfections, like hubcaps repeatedly coming off the wheels, work to the filmâs advantage, stressing just how much these drivers are living on a razorâs edge. Itâs been more than 50 years since
Bullitt revolutionized the car chase, and yet few movies since have felt like theyâre pushing the envelope to such an exhilarating degree:
That the car driven by McQueen was recently
sold at auction for $3.74 million, a then-record price for a Mustang, underlines
Bullittâs enduring legacy.
1. Ronin (1998)
âIf Iâm going to do a car chase,â filmmaker John Frankenheimer said in an
interview with the American Society of Cinematographers, âIâm going to do a car chase thatâs going to make somebody think about whether or not they want to do another one!â Boy, did he ever. In Frankenheimerâs late-career masterpiece,
Ronin, the director actually incorporated
several chases, but itâs the climactic sequence that stands alone as the greatest ever filmed. The movie concerns an international group of mercenaries who are hired to steal a mysterious briefcase; a series of double-crosses and double-bluffs ensue. But for the final chase, all you need to know is that Sam (Robert De Niro), a mercenary with ties to the CIA, is in pursuit of Deirdre (Natascha McElhone), an IRA operative in possession of the case. Winding through the streets and tunnels of Paris, whatâs most striking is just how fluid it all feels. Youâre completely engrossed in the chaseâs forward momentum, captured from every conceivable angle; a symphony of controlled chaos. The driving styles even reflect the characters: Deirdre is reckless and impulsive, while Sam remains calm and controlled.
There are many worthy car chases in this ranking, but in my view,
Ronin takes pole position. And while I canât imagine a movie ever topping what Frankenheimer achieved, Iâd love nothing more than to be proved wrong.

2024.05.21 16:14 SonnePer Beginner question about assembling and router tool use
| Hello everyone! First of all some disclaimers. I am : - a complete beginner in woodworking. I apogologies if this thread is'nt the right place for this
- awfull at drawing and hand writing
That being said, I am currently working on building a case for a fightstick which would be composed of a square frame, a top plate, a back plate. But I have several questions about this project which I'll tried to explain using the numbers on my drawing. First of all, I recently bought a router tool, which I think could be usefull for this project. - As you can see in my drawing number 3 I'm thinking about "drilling" (not sure about the term sorry ) rails in my frame parts so I could just fix the plate on them. Top plate would be glued for esthetic reason, back plate would be screwed so it can be removed. I'm wondering if I should machine those pieces before assembling them or is it ok/better to do it after? I'm afraid of the vibrations dislocating everything. Also, would it be easier to fix the router tool under the table for this kind of work ? Same question goes for the outside chamfer of the frame.
- my second question is about assembling (drawing number 2), I'm looking for 45° assembling angles for esthetic reasons but I know it's one of the weakest way to do. Should I try to put some reinforcment ? I only worked with trunnion so far and it went well, but never with 45° angle (and I have no dominos), would it still work with such thin wood thickness?
- last and may be less important, as you can see in the drawing 1 bis, I'm thinking that a round shape corner top plate would be more esthetic. Is it hard to do for a beginner? Can I use the router tool to do so?
Sorry for the long text and poor drawing and again, excuse me if it is not the beginner thread (I did'nt found an active one). Have a nice day all submitted by SonnePer to woodworking [link] [comments] |

When i talk about a topic, i mostly talk the generality of it, but sometimes i think about every possible details which makes it hard to commit to one, for example: letâs say someone says you choose your own reality, in a way i get what they mean but i also think abt ppl who actually cant choose their reality. Drake and kendrick dissing each other, my brother asked me whose side im on, which i honestly dont give a crap, because its not connected to me neither i dont care who they are, feels insignificant to waste my brain cells on that thing. I also dont like rude people, like i get you have a painful past but that doesnt excuse how you treat me, i deserve to be treated like a normal human being.

What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?
i dont think about the past, present, sometimes future but lately i stopped worrying about the future instead just making plans, i mostly just think about anything that doesnt really involve time, i be thinking about life, people, or any concept, or just making my own opinions
How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?
i like to help even if doesnt benefit me, but if its something absurd then fuck no, im a straightforward person you see, if i dont want to help i js straight up say sry cant help

before i start doing any project first i break it up into simples things then start doing it
What's important to you and why?
i honestly dont know, as most people say happiness, its not for me, i dont think i know the meaning of true happiness, i dont really feel happy i just feel calm, my main purpose in life isnt being happy, im fine with not being happy. but i do wanna live without worrying about anything
What are your aspirations?
i want to be a good architect that will change my city to a better one, but first i need the power in order to do so. i want to be smarter and more knowledgeable and skillful
What are your fears? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you hate? Why?
i dont like selfish people, but at the same time in try to understand their angle so its kinda hard for me to js say wow shes so selfish bc there r so many perspectives spilling in my head that makes it hard to contribute to one (it happens always, but im working on it). I dont like people who dont try to understand the other person. I hate rooms without windows because it feels so uncomfy, mostly because i need to see the sky to live, if no sky then i feel trapped inside it

no worries, like talking to people
What do the "lows" in your life look like?
see the worst in people
How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so?
as i said i dont really pay attention to my surroundings, sometimes im in deep thought but would really call it daydreaming. When im meeting someone i dont see their outfits but more of what kind of person they are
How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it?
i do pros and cons, consequences, if its risky but worth the result then im doing it
How long do you take to process your emotions? How important are emotions in your life?
for now i feel numb, i dont rly care about anything right now prolly bc i didnt sleep for few days doing my project. but i do think its important to open up to someone or tell them what u didnt appreciate about their actions towards you, and communication is the key. but i feel uncomfortable opening about my depressive thoughts because it feels like im asking for attention, but i do say it straightforwardly about questionable actions done towards, bc some people think youre okay to mess with, so if u shut them down at low there wont be high
Do you ever catch yourself agreeing with others just to appease them and keep the conversation going? How often? Why?
not really, im not a people pleaser, but sometimes i dont really want to argue i dont agree i just say "i see", since that sentence isnt agreeing nor disagreeing
Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why would you?
depends on the rule, if its messing with my values then i first think about the consequence, if its mild then fuck the rules
What is the ideal life, in your opinion?
having the power to change things
Please ask me questions

2024.05.21 14:54 Plum_Tea Why are "comfortable seats" on trains, in auditoriums, designed to force our heads in an unnatural position?
This is a bit of a nice question, but it annoys me quite significantly, and I don't get why would such a bad design solution be universally used. If anyone can think of a better sub to ask this in, I will be greatful.
I live in the UK. I find that seats in trains and in places like auditoriums, often have a shape in no way aligned with how the human spine is when sitting. I don't know if my proportions are at fault, and I am making contact with the chair in different places, than it is designed to do, but I often end up feeling that I cannot sit in them, unless I heavily slouch, and move my head forward. The shape in question is like the shape of an open bracket: " )" , where the top hits my head in the middle, forcing me to lean my head forward at an unnatural angle. Are these chairs universally for taller people? Or are we all meant to sit in those oddly slouched positions?
Someone said it is part of "hostile architecture", designed to prevent people to spend a lot of time there. I don't see how that could be the case in trains, where people will spend time, and in auditoriums, which are also for people to spend time in.

Hi all, Iâve been looking for a stand to use for my 11â for drawing at a desk. I currently have apples Smart Folio and it does the job for short periods of time and away from a desk, but Iâve noticed compared to my older 12.9 model that drawing on a desk is a bit harder to find an angle I like as it feels much less elevated.
Iâve seen good things about the sketchboards but they donât have any out just yet and are kinda pricey. Anyone found a stand that helps drawing at a desk?

THE HARMONY OF ENERGY Abstract
Introducing the "Harmony of Energy" (HoE) model, a
novel formalism that posits the universe operates according to a fundamental pattern. This pattern consists of energy, defined as the smallest unit anything can be, existing as a fluid form in space, interacting with its environment through a specific method or structure, and then moving out of that space. Space, in turn, is the dynamic environment that energy occupies and moves through, filling it with positive and negative energy that affects its properties and behavior. According to the HoE model, energy moves into space, reacts to its environment, and then moves out of that space, with no time limit for how long it takes to react. This pattern is universal, applying to all aspects of the universe, and nothing escapes it.
The Origin of the Universe The HoE model posits that the universe began as a singular entity, containing all forms of energy as one unified energy. This singularity can be represented mathematically as: U = â«â«â«E(x,y,z)dxdydz, where U is the total energy of the universe, E is the energy density, and x, y, z are the spatial coordinates.
As the singularity expanded, the unified energy converted into distinct positive and negative energies. Positive energy is a high-frequency, high-information-potential state that retains its unique signature and individual form, capable of producing heat and maintaining its distinct properties. Negative energy is a low-frequency, low-information-potential state that loses its unique signature and individual form, characterized by a pulling force and a tendency to condense and simplify.
Initially, the universe moved in a straight line, with energy compact and cold. However, this linear movement resulted in a direct head-on collision with the void, a solid structure that hindered its passage.
This collision led to a limitation and subsequent conversion of energy, transforming it from a linear motion to a wave-like motion. The new wave motion created heat and allowed energy to break the pattern of "follow the leader" and collide with the void at an angle, shattering its edge into pieces.
This process of fragmentation can be described by the equation: F(Ξ) = Σ[nE
n * sin(nΞ)], where F is the fragmentation function, Ξ is the angle of collision, n is an integer, and E is the energy density. For reasons yet unknown, possibly due to the singularity's energy reaching its final place or a transformation driven by cosmic "boredom," this conversion occurred, giving rise to the diverse universe we observe today.
The Void and the Ultimate Negative Outside of the expanding universe lies the void, a region devoid of energy and matter, existing in a state of complete stillness and stationarity. This void represents the ultimate negative, a state of complete absence and zero energy density, unchanging and unyielding. As a whole, it exerts a compressive force on the expanding universe, potentially leading to contraction and eventual return to the singularity. This dynamic interplay between the universe and the void can be described by the equation: F = -G * (M * m) / r
2 where F represents the force, G represents the gravitational constant, M and m represent the masses, and r represents the distance between them. The void's stationary and unchanging nature, lacking any internal rotation or energy, makes it inhospitable to life as we know it.
Magnetism and Attraction: A Shift in Perspective Initially, I viewed magnetism through the conventional lens, seeing it as a fundamental force of attraction between positive and negative entities. However, as my understanding evolved, I came to realize that magnetism operates under a different principle. Positive and negative entities are not attracted to each other; instead, they represent the intrinsic structure of things. The true nature of attraction is frequency-based, with entities drawn to higher vibrations and shorter wavelengths. This phenomenon can be described by the following equations:
F = â«â«(ÎŒââ
ÎŒâ)/(4Ïr
2) dt dt (1)
where F is the force of attraction, ÎŒâ and ÎŒâ are the magnetic moments of the entities, r is the distance between them, and the integral is taken over time.
Additionally, the frequency-based attraction can be represented by:
f = ÎłB (2)
where f is the frequency, Îł is the gyromagnetic ratio, and B is the magnetic field strength.
Furthermore, the smaller wave's faster movement can be expressed as:
v = λf (3)
where v is the velocity, λ is the wavelength, and f is the frequency.
Energy and its Properties Energy is the fundamental unit of everything. Energy can be thought of as an individual entity with an electrical signature vibrating at a specific frequency, carrying information from its originating source. If we were to dissect a piece of energy, we would find its genetic makeup consists of various parts, similar to binary code. One constant aspect of energy in our universe is the signature of this universe, which is present in all forms of energy, whether positive or negative. This underlying frequency distinguishes energy from our universe versus parallel universes.
Positive Energy (PE): - Oscillates through space with a frequency (f) and wavelength (λ): PE = f à λ - Exhibits wave-like behavior: PE(x,t) = A Ă sin(kx - Ït)
Negative Energy (NE): - Vibrates at a slower frequency (f'/2): NE = (f'/2) à λ' - Exhibits a slower, more stable behavior: NE(x,t) = B Ă cos(k'x - Ï't)
Energy Interactions and Signature Changes When positive and negative energies interact, their unique signatures can become altered. As energies combine, their signatures merge, releasing redundant information about the universe signature and creating an opening for new information to be stored. This process enables efficient storage and transmission of energy signatures, allowing for:
- Signature refinement and evolution
- Information exchange and updating
- Adaptation to changing environments and conditions
This process could be crucial for understanding how energy signatures evolve and adapt, and how they influence the behavior and properties of energy in various contexts.
The Formation and Evolution of the Universe Initial Energy Interactions In the beginning, a vast amount of fluid energy quickly interacted with the largest newly created pieces of the void, described by the
wave-particle duality equation (
E = hf = âÏ).
Star Formation and Signatures As these interactions occurred, the largest of the solid structures of the universe began to form, stars, governed by the
Lane-Emden equation (
d2P/dr2 + (2/r)(dP/dr) + (4ÏG/c2)P = 0). Each new star held with it an old habit divulged from the singularity, a universal frequency (f = 1/T = Ï/2Ï, where T is the period of oscillation and Ï is the angular frequency). Old habits die hard, so each new star offered its own diverse and unique signature (S = ÎŁf = â«Ï(x)
2 dx, where Ï(x) is the wave function and x represents the position).
Energy Collisions and Prime Numbers As structures formed, a group of energy travels through space with an even number of internal parts (E = 2nâ, where n is an integer and â is the reduced Planck constant). This group collides with another group of energy with an odd amount of internal parts (E = (2n + 1)â), and the total sum of the newly combined group equals a prime number (P = E1 + E2 = 2nâ + (2m + 1)â, where m is an integer).
New Equation: Prime Number Formation (
P = E1 + E2 = 2nâ + (2m + 1)â)
Schrödinger Equation and Physical Reality The prime number is crucial, as the extra piece gets stuck in the space it is occupying, acting as an anchor, attracting other parts to breach their negative shell and combine as one, described by the
Schrödinger equation (
iâ(âÏ/ât) = HÏ). This converts the fluid energy to be contained into the space it is in, which is broken pieces of the void that do not have a universal size, and gives us physical reality, forming particles with diverse unique signatures (S = ÎŁf = â«Ï(x)
2 dx).
Refining Space and Transferring Signatures As energy continued to interact with space, it further refined and shaped that space into a sphere (V = (4/3)Ïr
3, where r is the radius), adding the discarded portions of size to the diverse field that is the universe. During this refinement, energy was transferred to these pieces, and the signature of the star was embedded in them, forming the galaxy clusters and solar systems we know today.
Smooth Surfaces and Celestial Bodies As any piece of something breaks, its edges are rigid, and the interaction of energy against this rigid surface knocks off the rough edges, providing a smooth surface (E = Îx/Ît = â/Îx, where Îx is the change in position and Ît is the change in time).
New Equation: Smooth Surface Formation (
E = Îx/Ît = â/Îx)
The pieces that were knocked off still contain a portion of energy that put in the work to knock it off, and this process contributed to the formation of celestial bodies and the transfer of signatures. This, in turn, led to the creation of galaxies, planets, and other celestial bodies, each with their unique characteristics and properties, shaping the diverse and complex universe we observe today.
The Cartwheel Structure and Energy Movement The cartwheel structure represents the dynamic movement of energy in the universe, with its rotating wheel and radiating arms symbolizing the harmonious interaction of positive and negative energies. When creation occurred, energy learned how to pass through stationary space (the void) by changing its movement pattern from a straight line to a wave (λ = v/f, where λ is wavelength, v is velocity, and f is frequency). This new wave movement allowed energy to create heat (Q = mcÎT, where Q is heat, m is mass, c is specific heat capacity, and ÎT is temperature change), which was the tool that gave energy the ability to "shatter" the void and interact with the broken pieces to perform a new movement, the cartwheel. As energy moves through space, it rarefies and decreases in temperature (T = k-B, where T is temperature, k is Boltzmann's constant, and B is the energy density), causing it to slow down and change frequency (f = ÎE/h, where f is frequency, ÎE is the energy change, and h is Planck's constant).
The Block and Cartwheeling Bar Analogy The block and cartwheeling bar analogy provides a conceptual framework for understanding the dynamic interaction of energy in the universe. Imagine a box (representing space) containing blocks of varying sizes, each symbolizing a specific energy frequency (f = 1/T, where f is frequency and T is time). The cartwheeling bar, rotating within the box, represents the harmonious movement of energy between its positive (E+) and negative (E-) forms. Each block must be 100% filled, with positive and negative energy proportions varying as the bar rotates. For example, when positive energy occupies 99% of a block and negative energy occupies 1%, the rotation of the bar causes a gradual shift, resulting in a change to 98% positive and 2% negative, and so on. This constant interaction and adjustment maintain the balance of energy in the universe.
Fundamental Forces Explained - Strong Force: The repulsion from negative electrons being attracted to and pressing against the nucleus. This force can be described by the equation: F = k * (q1 * q2) / r2
- Weak Force: The outgoing frequency created by the positive nucleus, similar to energy congregating at the sun's nucleus, reacting to its environment, and breaking down before leaving (possibly as radioactive decay). This force can be described by the equation: F = (G * m1 * m2) / r2
- Gravity: Exists between the outer negative sphere of electrons exerting a pushing force against the positive pushing force of the nucleus, similar to the solar system's dynamics. This force can be described by the equation: F = (G * m1 * m2) / r2
- Electromagnetism: Energy in action, manifesting as the dynamic interplay between electric and magnetic forces. This force can be described by the equations: E = f * λ and B = (E / c)
Present State of the Universe The universe currently exists in a state of dynamic equilibrium, with observable patterns and structures perpetually renewing themselves through the interactions of energy (E = hf, where E is energy and h is Planck's constant). This self-sustaining cycle is evident in the formation and evolution of celestial bodies, galaxies, and other cosmic entities, governed by the laws of thermodynamics (ÎE = Q - W, where ÎE is the change in energy, Q is the heat added, and W is the work done). The universe's present state is characterized by the harmonious coexistence of diverse energy frequencies (f = 1/T, where f is frequency and T is time), which govern the behavior and properties of matter at various scales. This balance is maintained through the continuous conversion of energy between its positive (E+) and negative (E-) forms, allowing the universe to adapt and evolve in response to internal and external influences (E+ + E- = 0, representing the conservation of energy)."
Entropy and the Conversion of Positive to Negative The physical dimensions of positive and negative energy in a block are equal, with 1% negative energy occupying the same space as 99% positive energy. This equality stems from the different speeds of energy and their individual properties. When negative energy is at 1%, it has condensed the equivalent of 99% positive energy into a single, compact form (E = hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency). As the proportions shift, such as 60% positive and 40% negative, the space occupied remains a 50/50 split. This is because positive energy travels at the speed of light (c = λΜ, where c is the speed of light, λ is wavelength, and Îœ is frequency), while negative energy moves at a pace relative to terminal velocity (v = â(2gl), where v is velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity, and l is length). Each form dominates at the 50% mark (T = λ/v, where T is time, λ is wavelength, and v is velocity). The percentages represent available positive energy, while the cartwheel symbolizes space or the ultimate negative in motion, influenced by energy's presence. Negative energy, with its depleted charge, occupies space that needs to be filled and recycled into a positive state. At higher percentages, collisions with negative energy slow down the flow, similar to the concept of crab mentality, where negative energy draws down the percentages.
Energy Dynamics and Galactic Harmony The 50% Threshold The 50% mark is a critical threshold that distinguishes between positive and negative energy. Above 50%, energy is considered positive and can produce heat beyond its negative shell. Below 50%, energy is considered negative and cannot produce heat past this shell.
Compressed Positive Energy When the percentage of positive energy drops below 50%, it becomes compressed and can exceed the speed of light (c = λΜ, where c is the speed of light, λ is wavelength, and Μ is frequency). This allows it to navigate through the "cracks" of negative energy:
v > c (where v is velocity and c is the speed of light)
Quantum Mirroring Alternatively, the positive energy can align with the negative energy, resulting in a quantum mirroring effect. This enables instantaneous information transfer between entangled particles, regardless of distance:
E = hf (where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency)
Retaining Frequency Signatures In this alignment, the negative energy retains its unique frequency signature to avoid interacting with other signatures:
Îx * Îp >= h/4Ï (where Îx is position uncertainty, Îp is momentum uncertainty, and h is Planck's constant)
The Cavendish Experiment and Energy Interaction The Cavendish experiment, a groundbreaking study on gravity, offers an intriguing analogy for understanding energy interaction with space. Imagine the suspended spheres as representative of space itself, devoid of energy. When energy interacts with this motionless space, it's as if the spheres begin to rotate, symbolizing the introduction of energy into the internal area of space.
As energy engages with space, it's gradually consumed, much like the reduction of energy in the Cavendish experiment. This process can be described by the equation:
G = (2ÏLΞ) / (MT)
Where G is the gravitational constant, L is the length of the torsion wire, Ξ is the twist angle of the wire, M is the mass of the lead spheres, and T is the time period of oscillation.
This equation, derived from the Cavendish experiment, reveals the intricate relationship between energy, space, and gravity. By exploring this analogy, we can deepen our understanding of how energy shapes the very fabric of our universe.
Energy Absorption and Frequency Energy absorption occurs when energy slows down, allowing it to be perceived and observed. This process involves energy being absorbed by an atom and reflecting what was not absorbed. As energy slows down, it can still be observed as a wave, but just before it becomes a particle. This phenomenon is fascinating, as it reveals the transition from wave-like to particle-like behavior.
The conversion of positive to negative states is due to positives' ability to produce heat and maintain an individual form. Negative energy, on the other hand, does not produce heat and lacks an individual form, instead traveling at a pace relative to terminal velocity. This process can be described by the quantum mechanical formula: âÏ = ÎE = hf, where â is the reduced Planck constant, Ï is the angular frequency, ÎE is the change in energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency of the energy.
Furthermore, the frequency of the energy can be related to the velocity of the particle using the formula: f = (1/2Ï) * â(k/m), where k is the spring constant and m is the mass of the particle. Additionally, the energy absorption rate can be calculated using the formula: dE/dt = (2Ï/h) * V_uv
2 * ÎŽ(E_u - E_v), where V_uv is the transition matrix element, E_u and E_v are the energies of the initial and final states, and ÎŽ is the Dirac delta function.
The Conversion of Positive to Negative States and Planetary Motion The conversion of positive to negative energy states is rooted in their distinct properties. Positive energy produces heat and maintains an individual form, whereas negative energy lacks heat and an individual form, instead traveling at a pace relative to terminal velocity. This process is reversible, as seen in fusion reactions, or can be influenced by external forces like microwave ovens.
In the context of our solar system, the sun's positive energy release generates heat and propels planets into their orbital tracks. Conversely, the incoming energy from the universe, considered negative, is cold and stabilizes planets in their tracks. Initially, I focused solely on the positive push dictating orbital paths. However, I now recognize the significant influence of negative energy and use it as the basis for understanding abnormal tracks.
Here's an added equation to illustrate the relationship between energy and orbital motion:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r
2 Where F is the force of gravity, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, and r is the distance between them.
This equation shows how the force of gravity (F) is influenced by the masses (m1 and m2) and distance (r) between objects, which is relevant to understanding planetary motion and the balance between positive and negative energy.
Gravitation and Time: Frequency's Role Time is intimately tied to the frequency of the universe, and this relationship is governed by the laws of gravitation. Imagine the cartwheel's bar having notches, each representing a different frequency. Each notch would experience time at a unique pace, described by the formula:
t = 1/f
Where t is time and f is frequency.
If we could halt the cartwheel's motion, time would appear to pause, as described by the relativistic time dilation formula:
t' = Îł(t)
Where t' is the time experienced by an observer in motion, t is the time experienced by an observer at rest, and Îł is the Lorentz factor.
The passage of time is directly governed by the oscillations in the wave, or simply its frequency. By altering the frequency, we can change the flow of time itself, as described by the gravitational redshift formula:
f' = f * â(1 - 2GM/rc
2) Where f' is the observed frequency, f is the emitted frequency, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the gravitational source, r is the radial distance from the source, and c is the speed of light.
Gravity and Energy Dynamics Gravity can be understood in various ways through these thoughts. One perspective is that gravity operates similarly to the orbital planets, but with a twist. Instead of orbiting in space, we orbit at a subterranean frequency. This frequency attracts similar energies, leading to bonding and the formation of matter. For instance, atoms bond to form rocks, and separate rocks may bind together due to similar vibrations. However, other frequencies simply pass through, unable to bind due to differences in energy vibrations and the negative fields surrounding our bodies and the ground.
Our bodies are attracted to the Earth's core, with a force described by the equation:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r
2 Where F is the force of attraction, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of our bodies and the Earth, and r is the distance between them.
The vibrations of our energy and the negative field surrounding us can be described by the wave equation:
â
2E = ÎŒ * â
2E/ât2 Where E is the energy field, ÎŒ is the permeability of the medium, and â
2E/ât2 is the second derivative of the energy with respect to time.
The incoming cosmic energy pushes us downward, with a force described by the equation:
F = (E * A) / c
Where F is the force of the incoming energy, E is the energy density of the cosmos, A is the cross-sectional area of our bodies, and c is the speed of light.
The outgoing energy from Earth moves faster than the incoming energy from the cosmos, as observed in the formation of clouds with flat bases and more sporadic tops. This can be described by the equation:
v_out = v_in * (1 + (E_out / E_in))
Where v_out is the velocity of the outgoing energy, v_in is the velocity of the incoming energy, E_out is the energy density of the outgoing energy, and E_in is the energy density of the incoming energy.
Galactic Cycles and Black Holes The Milky Way galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, with a mass described by the equation:
M = (1.989 x 10
30) * (G / c
2) Where M is the mass of the black hole, G is the gravitational constant, and c is the speed of light.
As the galaxy spirals towards the center, enough mass will be collected to trigger the black hole to become a large star, described by the equation:
M = (4.383 x 10
30) * (G / c
2) Where M is the mass of the star, G is the gravitational constant, and c is the speed of light.
When this happens, the black hole will shed its outer shell to create the galaxy that spirals around it, and the process begins again. This cycle can be described by the equation:
t = (2 * Ï * G * M) / c
3 Where t is the time period of the cycle, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the black hole or star, and c is the speed of light.
The opposite of a black hole is a white hole, but why hasn't this phenomenon been observed? According to this article, it has been observed but misunderstood. With the theme of balancing the universe, would a large star be surrounded by much smaller black holes? Would these smaller black holes feed the larger star by way of quantum bridge or wormhole, and vice versa for smaller stars and larger black holes? This can be described by the equation:
E = (â * Ï) / 2
Where E is the energy transferred between the star and black holes, â is the reduced Planck constant, and Ï is the frequency of the quantum bridge or wormhole.
Energy Flow and Balance Energy moves in and out of everything, maintaining a delicate balance. It enters as a positive force and exits as a negative force. Our sun emits energy at 99% strength and high frequency, which combines with an equally sized negative force at 1% strength, filling the space completely. This balance is crucial, as positive energy moves faster than negative energy due to entropy's diminishing effects over time and distance.
As positive energy travels, it loses a piece of itself, converting to negative energy. This process is directly related to gravitational forces and time dilation. When positive energy reaches 50%, it has a certain probability of converting to negative energy, which is then attracted back to a positive source with a corresponding probability of being converted back to positive energy.
This cycle of energy flow and balance is the foundation of the universe's harmony, and understanding it can reveal the intricate web of forces that shape our reality.
Information Transmission through Energy and Light
Energy transfer is not just a physical phenomenon but also an exchange of information. Positive energy (Pos) carries a complete signature of universal information, updated through interactions, and represents the pure form. Negative energy (Neg) represents a degraded form of this signature, still carrying the universal signature, but lacking the capacity to transfer information.
Initial Information and Illumination
Initial information travels at a speed potentially faster than light and is invisible to us. As this energy slows down, it interacts with atoms, exciting them to display colors they don't need. This illumination is a manifestation of the information being transmitted.
I = E Ă S (Initial information is transmitted through energy and carries the universal signature)
Cosmic Scale and Consciousness
The universal information, carried by positive energy, is infused with the celestial signature, shaping the cosmic context. This process potentially gives rise to consciousness in living beings, linking them to the universe and its harmonies.
C â U (Consciousness potentially arises from the universal information carried by positive energy)
U = S Ă f Ă P (The universal information is infused with the celestial signature, shaping the cosmic context)
Information Transfer and Energy Forms
The universe relies on a delicate balance of energy forms to facilitate information transfer. Positive energy (Pos) serves as the primary carrier of information, transmitting universal signatures and cosmic context. Negative energy (Neg), on the other hand, carries a degraded or attenuated version of the universal signature, lacking the capacity for information transfer. However, Neg can be transformed back into Pos, restoring its information-carrying ability.
P = S Ă f (Positive energy carries the complete universal signature at a high frequency f)
N = S Ă (1 - f) (Negative energy carries a degraded or attenuated version of the universal signature at a lower frequency)
E = P + N (The universe relies on a delicate balance of positive and negative energy forms to facilitate information transfer)
Frequency and Speed of Information Transfer
The frequency and speed of information transfer play a crucial role in the harmony and balance of the universe. Positive energy (Pos) transmits information at a high frequency and speed, allowing for efficient and accurate transfer of universal signatures and cosmic context. Negative energy (Neg), on the other hand, transmits information at a lower frequency and speed, resulting in a degraded or attenuated signal.
v â f (The speed of information transfer is directly proportional to the frequency of the energy form)
P: v = c Ă f (Positive energy transmits information at a high frequency and speed, potentially approaching the speed of light c)
N: v = c Ă (1 - f) (Negative energy transmits information at a lower frequency and speed)
Transformation and Balance
Negative energy can be transformed back into positive energy, restoring its information-carrying ability.
N + T â P (Negative energy can be transformed back into positive energy, restoring its information-carrying ability)
This transformation maintains the harmony and balance of the universe, ensuring that information is not lost but rather recycled and rebalanced.
_Conclusion _
"In conclusion, the Harmony of Energy (HoE) model offers a novel perspective on the universe, revealing a intricate web of energy dynamics that underlie all aspects of existence. By exploring the interplay between positive and negative energy, we gain insight into the fundamental forces that shape our reality. From the smallest subatomic particles to the vast expanse of the cosmos, energy is the unifying thread that binds everything together.
Through the HoE model, we've seen how energy's harmonious movement gives rise to the patterns and structures we observe in the universe. We've also delved into the fascinating relationships between energy, space, and time, and how these interactions govern the behavior of matter at various scales.
As we continue to refine our understanding of the HoE model, we may uncover new secrets of the universe and gain a deeper appreciation for the beauty and harmony that underlies all of existence. Ultimately, this knowledge can inspire new perspectives, new technologies, and a new era of human understanding and cooperation, as we work together to harmonize our own energy with the energy of the universe."

SCALEOF1210 (K): What kinda of toys do human pups like?
DAVID: I dunno, what kinda toys do Krev pups like?
SCALEOF1210 (K): Oh.
DAVID: Itâs alright. Just try to think through that lens and youâll do fine.
_
GUEST (S): Why is being without your âclothesâ so embarrassing? Is it religious?
DAVID: Not exactly. It started out as a way to stay warm when we migrated out jungles and savannaâs, but the side effect was that it made the absence of coverings a) feel insecure, and b) an open floodgate of carnal attraction. So actually, to answer your question, weâre covering our reproductive organs. Itâs a modesty thing. The practice got applied to the kids anyway.
GUEST (S): Female humans have sex organs on their chests?
DAVID: No. but female mammaries become more pronounced as they mature and tend to draw male sexual attention.
GUEST (S): Whyyyyyyyy?
DAVID: Simply put: they remind us of mom.
GUEST (S): Ahhhhhhh!
DAVID: I was really trying to avoid spelling that out, yâknow?
GUEST (S): Hey man, I donât have have feet. Why would I care about tiptoeing?
DAVID: Huh. You know, I really think Iâm learning a lot about Smiglis.
GUEST (S): Hey! Good for you! đ
_
GUEST (R): Whatâs wrong with regurgitation feeding? It helps with digestion.
DAVID: Maybe for avians, but Itâs not sanitary for humans. We have a different digestion/immune setup. And no offense, Itâs also just really, really gross to us.
_
GUEST (K): How do you hold a human pup?
DAVID: For Krev, cradle them in the your arm and be sure to support their head. Thatâs important because itâs too heavy for them to hold up by themselves. Again, no tail rides until theyâre at least two years old.
_
SNOWFLOWER333 (J): Do humans kits really need to nurse well into adolescence? I donât think I can keep it up for that longâŠ.
DAVID: Hang on, are you saying youâve been NURSING one of your charges?
SNOWFLOWER333 (J): Right along side my own. I know Tommyâs not a jaslip and that itâs not human milk, but I figure itâs still better for him than formula. Should I not?
DAVID: Uhhhh⊠dunno. Iâm gonna discuss this with my colleagues. In the meantime, stick to the formula we sent.
SNOWFLOWER333 (J): Alright, David. Though, about that first questionâŠ.
DAVID: Long story short: weâd harvest milk from domestic bovines as a culinary ingredient and breakfast time staple, but breast feeding stops with infancy. You wouldnât be sucking a teenager.
SNOWFLOWER333 (J): đ
oh good!
DAVID: Would be a little awkward, huh?
SNOWFLOWER333 (J):đ€ŁA little.
_
GUEST (U): How do you hold a human pup?
DAVID: Cradled in yourâŠ. flipper. I guess. Just keep their head supported, it too heavy for them to hold up. You can also hold them to your chest with their head resting over your shoulder.
GUEST (U): We donât really have shoulders.
DAVID: Nnnnnevermind then.
_
OBORSHINE (K): Is it okay to post my human child on the Internet?
DAVID: I suppose, but try not to embarrass him. OBORSHINE (K): đAww but Iâm a mom! Embarrassing him is my job! DAVID: In that case, weâll send you his baby pics.
OBORSHINE (K): Yeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss.
_
CALLMESPEED (T) Is it okay to give my child cybernetic implants to cure conditions?
DAVID: That will depend on what condition weâre talking about, but yes, probably. Be sure that they are approved by a human doctor, though.
_
GUEST (S): "Why do you have so many wiggly bits!"
DAVID: Erm, wiggly bits?
GUEST (S): âYeah! With all the toesy toes and fingery thingsâ
DAVID: Oh! Um, well other race have them too, but I guess ours ARE quite long and nimble. Well, we specialized pretty early on in tool manipulation, soooooooo.
GUEST (S): Raaaaaaaad!
DAVID: Happy to impress. I guess?
_
GUEST (J): How do you hold a human Kit?
DAVID: I wouldnât know how to hold anything with a prehensile tail, youâre the experts there. But however you do it, be sure that you support the kids head. A human infants head is too heavy for them to hold up by themselves.
_
CALLMESPEED (T): Damn Schieder, always forcing us to cope with the weaknesses of the flesh, and denying us the certainty of steel.
DAVID: Ah, hello Malcom. Does Speed know youâve hacked his account?
DAVID: Look, thatâs not solely my decision kiddo. We put it to a vote. Maybe things will change in the future, but in the meantime, just wait till youâre 18 before you chop your limbs off. You can probably still get an implant, though.â
_
SHOPCLASSREJECT (S): Yeesh, David! How can my kid hit me with a ball from across the room?
DAVID: đTalent, my friend. Did you know that humans are being trained as grenadiers in the Consortium army? We have excellent throwing arms. Oh! Uh, you werenât hurt though, were you?
SHOPCLASSREJECT (S): Eh, A little. My cheek is swollen, but itâs not like I had any bones or teeth to break.. I was mostly just surprised at how fast it came at me.
DAVID: Sorry Shopclass, He should have known better, but itâs a pretty common childhood offense for humans.
SHOPCLASSREJECT (S): Got a new rule, though: no throwing things in the house.
DAVID: Sounds like a good rule.
_
MRS.DOGGY (J): Hey, just got home with my kids and when I was helping Heather remove her foot coveringsâŠ.. having 5 hind toes is normal for humans, correct? I just want to make sure.
DAVID: đ Correct. And we donât have dewclaws either. MRS.DOGGY (J): Oh good! MRS.DOGGY (J): Erm , that itâs normal, I mean.
_
GUEST (K): WHY WAS I REJECTED! WHAT DID I DO WRONG?
DAVID: Im sorry sir, I donât know, but Iâm sure it was anything against your character. Given our situation and our unfamiliarity with non-humans, we are being excessively cautious with our young and more than 75 percent of applicants were turned down as a result. Perhaps you can try again in a year or two when humanity is a little more accustomed to other sapient species. Please forgive us.
_
BUNCHBERRIES (K): So I noticed one of my female charges has enlarged mammories. Does that mean she secretly has children?
DAVID: No. Itâs means sheâs a teenager.
DAVID: Thatâs a normal development.
BUNCHBERRIES (K): đźâđš Oh, thank you .
_
GUEST (R): How do you hold a human hatchling?
DAVID: Cradled in your wing-thing. Just keep their head supported, it too heavy for them to hold up themselves.
_
GUEST (S): How would one hold a human hatchling?
DAVID: cradled in yourâŠ. noodley appendage. Support their head.
_
GUEST (K): Me and my wife would like to foster, but- forgive me for asking- can we expect dung throwing to be a problem?
DAVID: đ€ŁHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nah. I understand why youâre asking, but weâre higher evolved than that.
_
GUEST (K): Can I have one?
DAVID: You can apply to adopt or foster a child, but thatâs no guarantee. We are VERY discriminate about applicants, especially nonhuman ones. Before you put pen to paper, I would consider very carefully whether itâs a child youâre looking for or a pet.
GUEST (K): Whatâs a pen?
DAVID: Ah, the times we live inâŠ
_
NANNYBIRD35 (R): Jackie has accurately described me as a âBig Birdâ, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why he sings a song asking how to get to a place called Sess-Me Street every other time he sees me. Was there something special about that place? What does it have to do with ME?
DAVID: Ok, thatâs funny! He thinks youâre a character named Big Bird from a childrenâs show called Sesame Street [Video link]. Btw, let me know if she ever calls a Krev âOscarâ. Iâm gonna laugh.
_
MRS.DOGGY (J): What is a âdoggieâ anyway, and why do my kids call me that?
DAVID: I was WONDERING when that would come up. I didnât think it would be useful to explain before, but we had these domestic canines back home called Dogs and you kinda resemble one. They were intelligent, trusty, loyal creatures that helped us hunt, herd livestock, guard our turf, and and were beloved members of our families. None of the kids have met a dog in the flesh, but theyâve been lionized in books and cartoons and your resemblance to them is strong enough to trigger an instinctive adoration we had towards them.
MRS.DOGGY (J): TheyâŠ. think Iâm a pet? Like with you and the Krev?
DAVID: Hey, if they havenât told you to âSitâ or âRoll overâ I think youâre good. But the point is, the kids trust you implicitly, and when youâve suddenly been thrown to aliens after living in a hole all your life, having a comforting face to keep you stable counts for a lot.
MRS.DOGGY (J): Oh! đWell, I think I can live with that.
_
OBORSHINE (K): How do I take care of Samsons head fur? Itâs getting so long and tangled!
DAVID: Oh right. Only jaslips need to brush. Weâll send you a proper hair brush. In the meantime. Get a jaslip brush- one with wide bristle spacing- and gently comb the knots out, starting from the bottom and slowly working your way up. We can also try to get you in contact with a human who has experience cutting hair.
_
TEACUPGUY (K): Dang, I had no idea human fur would get longer. How much longer does it get?
DAVID: Down to their hips or farther. Doesnât really stop. Youâll either want to get it trimmed or let grow so you can tie it up behind their heads.
_
GUEST (T): How do you hold a human hatchling?
DAVID: Cradled comfortably in whichever bionic limb is not capable of crushing a car. Make sure to keep their head supported. They donât have the neck muscles to hold it up
GUEST (T): đ Oh thatâs fixable.
DAVID: Thanks but NO.
_
BUNCHABERRIES (K): David! Jeremyâs caught the MONKEY POX!
DAVID: ⊠The what?
BUNCHABERRIES (K): What do I do?! Heâs been getting worse and worse all week!
DAVID: Stay cam Berries, What are the symptoms?
BUNCHABERRIES (K): Heâs broken out in purple spots! And heâs aslo listless. Stomach ach. Head ach. Poor boy canât even get out of bed! He just sits there and groans and today he asked if I was an âangelâ Iâm at wits end!
DAVID: Ah. THAT monkey pox. Schoolâs in session, right?
BUNCHABERRIES (K): Is that really relevant?!
DAVID: Just trust me. Check his backpack. Is there a pen or marker that is the EXACT same color as the spots?
BUNCHABERRIES (K): There is.
BUNCHABERRIES (K): Why?
DAVID: Take it and draw a little dot next to the ones on his skin. Make it roughly the same size.
BUNCHABERRIES (K): Ok. Done.
BUNCHABERRIES (K): OH THAT SEAKY LITTLE-!
DAVID: My work here is done.
BUNCHABERRIES (K): HE IS SO GROUNDED!
_
HAPPYHATCHLINGS: David, this is Tisa at Happy Hatchlings Early Learning School. Weâve noticed that our human students canât seem to get comfortable in their napping nests and keep hanging their feet over the edges. Itâs like they canât curl up!
DAVID: They canât. Not long term, anyway, and not as tightly as other Consiortium races. Youâre going to need longer, flatter beds that they can stretch out on and keep their spines relatively straight. Weâll be sure to send you some cots.
_
DADJOKE (K): đ Thanks for the sponges, but I think my wifeâs got bathtime covered.
[Folder Attachments: 7 photos ]
[Pic 1: A shot of two shirtless human boys [ages 5 and 6] in makeshift âwar paintâ running screaming past the camera as a jaslip with a wild grin skids around the corner after them.]
[Pic 2: The victorious jaslip sits on her haunches with one of the boy hopelessly tangled in her tails and the other grappled between her forelegs. The latter is getting her full professional attention as she licks the warpaint off his face, ignoring his cries of disgust and attempts to wiggle free.]
[Pic 3: Said boy apparently opened his mouth at an inopportune moment and is now spitting and sputtering while Mama Jaslip laughs herself to tears.]
[Pic 4: One of the boys laughing hysterically as the jaslip pins him down across her forelegs and licks his belly.]
[Pic 5: a close up on one boy getting his hair worked on, wincing uncomfortably as Mama Jaslip get a blunt claw in his eyebrow while maneuvering his head this way and that for the right grooming angle.]
[Pic 6: Arm around the boys shoulder, Mama proudly presents her work to the camera; one mostly warpaint free human with a complimentary cowlick. The lock of hair is stuck straight up, stiff with spit, like an alfalfa leaf. Mama is winking at the camera and doing her best thumbs-up while the boy is shooting a disgruntled side eye at his brother who is laughing at the abominable hairdo.]
[Pic 7: Mama has one of the boys lying on his stomach while she leisurely grooming his back. Heâs resting his chin on his arms, looking sleepy. His brother, nestled among Mamaâs tails in the back ground, is yawning. Mama kinda looks tired herself.]
[Pic 8: All three of them are asleep. Mama seems to have nodded off on top of the boy she was cleaning, her head draped across his back. The other is lying against her side, his head barely visible above the nest of tails blanketing him].
DADJOKE (K): The kids have started calling her âThe Kissy Monsterâ when she gets like this.
DAVID: Oh my gosh! This is so freaking cute! Do have them use the sponges, though. Tongue bathing isnât really doable for longterm human hygiene.
DADJOKE (K): đGlad you liked it. But yeah, I get it. Most consortium races arenât keen on the slobber fest either.
CRAZYTAILS (J): đFunny, YOU didnât seem to mind the other night.
DADJOKE (K): đłâŠ
DAVID: đłâŠ
CRAZYTAILS (J):đ You forgot this was a joint account, didnât you?
DADJOKE (K): Just wasnât expecting you to be logged in right now. Hi sweetheart.
CRAZYTAILS (J): đHey scalyboi.
DAVID: Um, hey, before you two keep flirting dirty, what was it the boys were marked with?
CRAZYTAILS (J): Hm? Oh, just washable marker. They were playing âViking Warriorsâ or something, running around, slaying monsters, ambushing DadJoke in his den, and beating each other silly with pool noodles for a two hour straight. That until I, the dreaded Kissy Monster, vanquished them both and subjected them to bath and bedtime! Muahaha!
DADJOKE (K): As for what you really wanted to know, she didnât suffer from licking the stuff. The markers are made with Jaslip kits in mind, so they needed to be nontoxic and tasteless in case they or their parents have to clean up some body doodling.
CRAZYTAILS (J): same with Jaslip cosmetics, btw. Some are even flavored. Makes cleaning up after dates pretty fun, right Daddy?
DADJOKE (K): Fluffykins, if I say Iâll be leaving the office in half an hour, will you stop embarrassing me on a public forum?
CRAZYTAILS (J): đ„°Iâll be waiting with the candles.
_
GUEST (K): Is it ok to pet humans pups?
DAVID: Lemme put it this way; what do you call a Krev who goes around petting Krev children?
GUEST (K): Creepy?
DAVID: đBingo.
GUEST (K): Huh? Whatâs that mean?
DAVID: It means yes, petting kids is creepy.
_
DR.WORM (guess): Hey, whatâs an appropriate amount of holopad time for the kids, 10 hours or 12?
DAVID:âŠ
DAVID: Doc- First of all; not a real doctor, i presume?
DR.WORM (S): Sure ainât!
DAVID: đđđBut you ARE a real worm?
DR.WORM (S): YES! I KNEW I picked the right pop culture reference!
DAVID: đđđ»Sure did. Sure did.
DAVID: Sooooo letâs talk screen time.
DR.WORM (S): Yeeeeeaaaaah aright, I was kiiiiinda guessing 10 was a too much. Is 8 right?
DAVID: Try two.
DR.WORM (S): TWO?!?!
DAVID: Yup.
DR.WORM (S): TWO HOURS?!?!
DAVID: Yup, yup, yup.
DR.WORM (S): HOLY [expletive] MAN! IâVE BEEN FRYING THEIR BRAINS!
DAVID: You open sometime this week, Doc? Weâre gonna help you out.
_
GUEST (R): You let jaslip take care of your hatchlings? Are you crazy?! [COMMENT DELETED]
_
CRAZYTAILS (J): What IS a wolf? The boys Insisted I be one in one of their games.
DAVID: This guy [attachment]
CRAZYTAILS (J): Woah. Now THATâs a handsome face.
DADJOKE (K): Eh-hem.
CRAZYTAILS (J): Well, not handsomer than my husbandâs.
_
CRAZYTAILS (J): Is growing long head-fur some sort of defense mechanism against grooming? Because itâs starting to work. Hard to get the stringy stuff off my tongue. Bleugh.
DAVID: heh. Sounds like the boys need a haircut. Swing by Tellus, we got some barbers that can shape em up.
DAVID: Or just let them grow it out until they can tie it behind their heads
CRAZYTAILS (J): The latter sounds like less trouble honestly.
_
BETWEENBILLOWS (U): Should I be concerned that Maria has a figurine of a dead human nailed to a T on a necklace? Itâs kinda morbid.
DAVID: Believe it or not, thatâs a religious symbol. Did she not tell you about it?
BETWEENBILLOWS (U): David, she barely talks to us at all. Itâs been three weeks and she hardly leaves her room.
DAVID: Hmm... Well THAT might be cause for concern. Letâs talk over PM.
_
A shoutout and apology basket to u/kabhes and u/HeadWood_ whoâs suggested questions I kinda stole. There were several others that I wanted to feature but couldnât figure out how to work with.
