Jaune semblance is turning into an evasor assassin from warhammer for thirty minutes
Let's look a bit into this scenario, since you brought it up.
I'm thinking this could be one of two scenarios. The first is that it's something semi-voluntary, like Yang's Burn, where a certain trigger that Jaune can either control or let control him causes him to shift into a more dangerous version of himself. The alternative to this trigger could be unconsciousness, but something driving him to continue, like an Eversor assassin coming out of stasis. Jaune gets knocked out while on mission and, in an attempt to complete this mission, his body diverts energy from certain functions and focuses them on more combat-focused functions.
Now let's talk about that thirty-minute timer in his body, because I love the idea of powers with drawbacks. I'm thinking something like Luffy's Gear and Chopper's Rumble side-effects from One Piece. Jaune gets a strength, speed, stamina boost that makes him nigh-on invincible to kill. However, once those thirty minutes are up, his body slows and eventually shuts down, making him vulnerable to attack. I'd imagine his body also needing to recover since Eversor assassins are essentially kamikaze fighters that die by the end of their mission. However, there is a solution to this, which would be cryo-suspension. I'd imagine Jaune's body, like a machine, starts overheating from his body getting forced to keep fighting, and he needs hours, or even days in an ice bath after his semblance is used.
There might also be a death obsessed mental switch in his mind when he changes, and he might get so overwhelmed he starts attacking non-enemy combatants. Another double-edge to this already double-edged sword.

1945 01 Nakajima Ki-43-II Ko I Hayabusa Manchukuo - box art Finemolds
‘From Manchurian Oil Company No. 1’
Documentation and footage found by experts indicates that the Manchukuo Imperial Air Force’s Ki-43 Squadron flew the Ki-43 II. Version II was a significant improvement over the Ki-43 I thanks to its 1150hp Nakajima Ha-115 engine, redesigned fuselage of the main wing and a three-bladed propeller. The tremendous increase in power output of the Nakajima engine was achieved by upgrading the Ha-25 powerplant with a two-stage supercharger.  This modification helped to improve the top and cruise speed of the aircraft to 536 km/h and 355 km/h while allowing it’s operational range to stay at an acceptable level of 1610 km without drop tanks. The Manchukuo Imperial Air Force’s Hayabusa squadron was pictured in ‘Manchukuo War Chronicles #283,’ dated 12 December 1944. From this, we learn that the squadron operated from the Fengtian Air Base and consisted of 4 aircraft that had been donated by Manchukuo citizens and the Manchurian Oil Company. Each aircraft carried the name of its sponsor through markings on the fuselage.(...)Based on the date of the ‘Manchukuo War Chronicles’, it can be safely assumed that the Ki-43’s were delivered and began combat operations in 1944.
‘From Manchurian Oil Company No. 1’ was the first of two aircraft donated by Manchurian Oil Company. The company was founded in 1934 and was expected to extract, refine and sell oil to local customers. It was  a joint venture between the state and private owners. However due to lack of suitable oil fields in Manchuria the company needed to import unrefined oil from the US, the UK and other overseas countries to refine at its Dalian refinery.
The Manchukuo puppet air force was given Nakajima Ki-43s in 1945 to have a better chance of intercepting the American B-29 Superfortresses. The Manchukuoan pilots were given the estimated arrival time of the bombers and would take off about twenty minutes before they were due to arrive, climbing to 7,000 meters to make head-on passes before the B-29s got out of range. Some Manchukuoan pilots were also given kamikaze training and at least one downed a B-29 by crashing a Ki-27 into it. By the time the Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation was launched by the Soviet Red Army in August 1945, the Manchukuo Air Force had practically ceased to exist, although there were isolated incidents of Manchukuoan planes attacking Soviet aircraft.

im sorry its been taking me so long to write chapter 2 of mindfuck so as an apology. here is a sneak preview : ))
VOLITION- We're not discussing this right now. Back to the topic at hand, please... I think we all know why we're here.
VISUAL CALCULUS- You wanted to tell us all about how Electro wore you like a hand puppet?
VOLITION- ...no. But that is related. Gang, I won't mince words here. We're sexually frustrated.
YOU- Yeah, I know.
VOLITION- Not just you. All of us, Harry. Pining after Kim is taking more than an emotional toll. 
PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT- We need to fuck, Harry.
REACTION SPEED- Like rabbits.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY- Amen to that!
INLAND EMPIRE- A desert of physical intimacy, and only one man can quench that thirst...
INTERFACING- If we don't get our hands on his body, I don't know what I'm going to do.
ENCYCLOPEDIA- Blueballs is a myth, but as of now, it feels real.
PAIN THRESHOLD- Very real. Too real.
SAVOIR FAIRE- It's going to get noticeable if this goes on much longer.
VOLITION- ...which is why we need to try our best to appear like this isn't the case. We can't be a horny nuisance.
CONCEPTUALIZATION- Since when do we care about not being a nuisance? 
LOGIC- Since Harry got caught with an erection by Kim. It's a miracle he kept speaking to him after that. Our influence is going to lessen Harry in his eyes if we aren't careful.
YOU- I don't want that. I definitely do not want that.
LOGIC- Kim having less respect for you means it's less likely he'll fuck you. Which means it's less likely we'll get some kind of relief.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY- Exactly! If we're not going with the sexual kamikaze angle that Volition suggested-
VOLITION- I didn't suggest that.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY- -then our next best bet is to be normal.
VOLITION- Good. I'm glad we're all in agreement, then.
AUTHORITY- Right. Kim's type is not a messy slob who doesn't know how to have a handle on things. You need to learn how to keep it together.
YOU- I can keep it together! I can do that!
EMPATHY- Not without help.
HALF-LIGHT- Mhm. Sounds to me like someone needs to learn how to do their job.
YOU- I'm trying to! But this case is just completely-
HALF-LIGHT- Not you. A certain yellow-bellied someone.
COMPOSURE- Hey, now, wait. Are you talking about me?
REACTION SPEED- Yeah, wallback. 
COMPOSURE- You're telling me how to do my job? It's not like I get much help around here. None of you lot make it easy.
PAIN THRESHOLD- At least we know what we're doing.
COMPOSURE- And I don't? I know how to keep it together. I'm the most collected out of all of us.
ESPRIT DE CORPS- Stop acting like you're better than us. You're just as fallible as anyone else.
VOLITION- We're all feeling the effects of this, Composure. It's not up to us whether we feel sexually frustrated.
COMPOSURE- Actually, I've been feeling just fine. I don't know what the rest of you are going on about. Sounds like it sucks. Sorry.
PERCEPTION- Okay, now they're just lying.
DRAMA- For shame! Sssssuch a flagrant act of deceit!
COMPOSURE- Really. You can all bitch and moan however you'd like. Rut against each other, if you really need to feel better. I'm calm. I'm collected.
YOU- I don't feel very collected.
COMPOSURE- That sounds like a you problem. Me? I'm fine.
RHETORIC- What's your damage? Truly. Honest question.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY- Hm...
VISUAL CALCULUS- Hm?
LOGIC- Oh, no. He's getting an idea.
SUGGESTION- Everyone stand back.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY- Alright, poser. If you really are so calm, let's see it in action. Think you can really keep it together in the heat of the moment? You wanna prove you're a pinnacle of staying cool? Buddy, we're gonna make you squeal.
HAND/EYE COORDINATION- Do you mean-
ELECTROCHEMISTRY- ORGY. ORGY IN THE FRONTAL LOBE.
SAVOIR FAIRE- Knew he couldn't keep up subtlety for long.
COMPOSURE- See, this is what I mean. You can't stay calm. Your brilliant plan is to... all fuck each other?
ELECTROCHEMISTRY- No, silly. We're all gonna fuck you.
ENCYCLOPEDIA- Technically... that's not an orgy. That's a gangbang.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY- GANGBANG IN THE FRONTAL LOBE!

My favourite thing to do in bg3 is finding places my low level ass has no business being in and beating them thanks to pure stubbornness and a talent for exploiting in-game mechanics
(Spoilers for the whole game, I wanna babble)
The obvious one I think a lot of people do is the Balthazar fight in shadowfell -- the one where the most effective strategy is to just sneak up on him and yeet him off the edge -- but I do this with nearly every fight at this point, unless I get ambushed. It's just more fun to fuck around 😂
More in depth example: The House Of Grief fight was kicking my ass, but I realised only Tav and Shadowheart get pulled into the scripted conversation, the rest of the party is free to roam around and no one is hostile. It allowed me to take Gale and Astarion to the very end of the room, lockpick the door and make a barricade there (Cloudkill and the slashing fly spell, I forgot the name) obviously starting a fight. BUT TAV AND SHADOWHEART DID NOT GET PULLED INTO IT, now it was THEM that could roam freely. So I locked Shadowheart away in the dormitory where she couldn't be spotted because she triggers a few enemies to transform into wolves, doubling their hit points, and set to work. The 30-hitpoint enemies don't have any spells or self preservation so they dashed straight at my poisonous mosquito stronghold and got absolutely annihilated on the first round. The rest of them rushed in and were smart enough to accumulate on the stairs instead of going full kamikaze, but that didn't save them because one potion of speed and two up-casted fireballs later most of them were dead too 🫡 At that point I let Shadowheart out to give Astarion the upper hand needed for his killer sneak attacks on the 100+ hitpoint enemies that were still hanging on and picked off the rest with my fightersorc character...
Grinding them all to dust took me maybe 20 minutes and I think I spent nearly an hour doing fuck all damage on my first try 😂😂
I love this game.

Genesis
Michael gave his supervisor a level look over the console separating them. “We really need a batch of six?” he asked, tired gray eyes managing to convey the depth of his skepticism.
His supervisor, a weak-chinned and watery-eyed man whose consummate politicking had failed to overcome his lack of other competencies, winced, almost seeming physically pushed back despite ostensibly standing over the seated Michael. “Would it make it better if I told you that it was a result of attrition?” His eyes flickered to the black not-quite-hexagon whose subtly wrong presence dominated the space in the middle of the room, seeming almost intimidated by the edifice.
“Not particularly, no,” Michael replied, rubbing at his already bloodshot eyes. “How much is hearing how these ones died gonna spike my blood pressure?”
“…they had to kamikaze themselves to cripple one of Uthal’s logistics centers. In their defense-” his supervisor rushed out, seeing Michael’s face flush with anger “-they turned out to have much less technical ability than they led us to believe, and given the context I think a group from some steampunk backwater can be forgiven for failing to understand the nuances of the arcane bound within silver and steel to serve us.”
Michael sighed. “They ruptured a power core without realizing how big the detonation would be, didn’t they?”
His supervisor deflated. “They ruptured a room full of power cores without realizing how the detonations would combine.
Michael actually laughed. “Sainted Lord, to be a fly on the wall in the room where the Director found out.”
“That’s beside the point,” his supervisor huffed. “Can you get us six who can understand the power with which they will inevitably be faced? I’d even settle for some common sense and an understanding of where and where not to attack.”
“Probably,” said Michael, running some calculations in his head, “but the machine’s gonna be almost completely burned out and need extensive repairs, and I’m not sure the initial setup package is gonna work properly for all of ‘em, let alone the ongoing pruning setup we have running now.”
“Let your betters worry about the long term- you’re not paid to be a strategist, just a technician,” his supervisor sneered. “Can you do the summoning ritual for six or not?”
“A crying shame, that,” Michael said sotto voce. Then, louder, he sighed. “Yeah, yeah, as long as you’re sure you can handle the issues it’s gonna cause.”
“Then do it.”
“So polite,” Michael grumbled, flipping switches and pressing buttons with the speed of long practice regardless.
After almost four minutes of working on his console, his supervisor’s patience wore thin and then threadbare. “How long is this going to take?” he snapped, reedy voice not made any more pleasant with the addition of fury.
“It takes as long as it takes,” said Michael evenly, despite the way that his heart rate was ticking up to match his temper. “The effects of an incompletely prepared summoning aren’t properly documented or even completely known, but just from what we know, I’m not particularly interested in tempting fate.” He looked up to his supervisor with false innocence. “Unless you’re willing to end up spending the next month inside-out and immortal, quivering in pain on a hospital bed?”
His supervisor blanched, then very conspicuously took a single step back. “Take your time.”
“Thank you kindly,” Michael drawled, continuing to work his console as if nothing had happened.
After a collective period of time near ten minutes, Michael nodded and flipped open a button cover, revealing a large red number which wasn’t, strictly speaking, necessary, but some long-forgotten Consolemaster had added the thing out of a sense of drama, and he’d never found the will to replace it.
“Here we go,” he said, and without any more fanfare, pressed the button.
His supervisor could be forgiven for not noticing anything was wrong with the machine (well, more wrong than usual, given how it regularly tore the fabric of the world asunder). Michael, on the other hand, was not shielded by ignorance, and almost immediately frowned at the readout presented by the dials and gauges on the console.
Before Michael had the chance to do more than flick a switch, they went haywire, and he spat out a curse, snapping his hand over to pull a rope off-center on his left.
Before he could, though, both he and his supervisor shivered as the platform tore six holes in reality before returning to its quiescence, the readouts and dials on the console dropping to read zero in short order, a brief crunching sound coming from within the console.
One hole spat out a pile of meat that gurgled once before falling still. Two others spat out pasty men in loungewear, one wiry and the other doughy, who both looked around frantically. A fourth discharged a tall man in a tank top and loose camouflage pants, well muscled and alert as he surveyed the room with experienced eyes. The fifth hole left a willowy, freckled redhead in leathers in its wake, hand shooting for a revolver on her hip before she noticed the sixth hole’s leavings.
The sixth hole produced a tall, broad-shouldered woman with brown skin and dark, wavy hair, in a pale blue knit sweater and black pants that seemed almost purposefully nondescript.
More importantly than her appearance was the fact that with a wheeze that was nevertheless loud enough to capture the attention of the whole room, she fell to the floor, jaw clenched and eyes scrunched shut in clear pain.
The redhead reached her first, fingers pressing to the other woman’s forehead and shoving her sleeve up past her elbow to reveal tight muscles with a green ripple, easing her face and, moments later, the tension in her muscles, relaxing and letting the redhead’s fingers press into her suddenly-soft left arm.
The muscular man, seeing that things were being handled with her, strode over to Michael’s supervisor and seized him by the shoulders, hoisting him up off his feet and to look into his fierce red eyes. “Who are you, where are we, and what did you do with her?”
Something told Michael that the rest of today was not going to be a simple day, as he’d hoped when he woke up.

More HARM missiles in the new US$ 725 million aid package for Ukraine
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/17/2022 - 16:00 in Armaments, Military, War Zones
The U.S. Department of Defense authorized another presidential shipment of security assistance worth up to $725 million to meet Ukraine's critical security and defense needs.
Friday's authorization, which allows the Pentagon to quickly transfer equipment from U.S. military stocks, is the 23rd withdrawal of U.S. Department of Defense equipment to Ukraine by the Biden administration since August 2021.
According to the Pentagon, the new security assistance package includes additional ammunition for the HIMARS, 23,000 155 mm artillery ammunition, 500 155 mm precision guided artillery ammunition, 5,000 155 mm ammunition from remote anti-shielding mine (RAAM) systems, 5,000 anti-tank weapons and more than 200 Humvees.
Tumblr media
The package also includes an unspecified amount of AGM-88 high-speed anti-radiation missiles (HARMs) that have been integrated into the Ukrainian Air Force's MiG-29s. The Pentagon confirmed for the first time in August this year that it has supplied HARM missiles to Ukraine, which seek enemy radars employed by air defense systems and destroy them.
Meanwhile, Ukraine showed video images of the missile developed by Northrop Grumman being launched from one of its fighters.
Tumblr media
The presidential "withdrawal" of October 14 follows the meeting of U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin, of defense ministers of almost 50 countries in the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Brussels this week, in which leaders pledged to provide additional security assistance.
As a result of the meeting, Germany delivered the first of the four IRIS-T air defense systems committed to Ukraine. This critical donation will help Ukraine better defend its civilians from Russian air strikes. Germany also recently announced that it will deliver more MARS rocket and oxen systems.
Spain announced that it will provide four HAWK launchers to strengthen Ukraine's air defense, while Norway, Germany and Denmark invested in Slovakia's native production of Zuzana II oysters for Ukraine.
In addition, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom have committed to sending air defense missiles to the NASAMS system that was supplied to Ukraine by the US.

Ukraine's Polish Drone Barely Avoided a Russian Air Defence Missile - Technology Org
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/ukraines-polish-drone-barely-avoided-a-russian-air-defence-missile-technology-org/
Ukraine's Polish Drone Barely Avoided a Russian Air Defence Missile - Technology Org
Polish weapons are a huge help for the defenders of Ukraine. Poland is definitely Ukraine’s closest ally both geographically and in terms of military aid. Poland donated hundreds of armoured vehicles and other weapons for Ukraine’s defensive effort. One such weapon is a loitering munition called Warmate. Recently it engaged a Russian air defence system Tor and almost fell victim to it.

The Polish drone Warmate recently helped the defenders of Ukraine destroy a Russian short-range air defence system Tor. The Warmate is a small drone developed by WB Electronics company and the Military Weapons Institute of Technology of Poland. Poland, of course, is one of Ukraine’s main arms suppliers, and drones are extremely important in this war.
Ukraine manufactures many of the drones it uses, but there is no time or resources for the development and production of more advanced systems. Meanwhile, the Warmate is a very capable weapon, developed several years before the outbreak of this war.
The Warmate engaged a Russian Tor system in Ukraine and managed to impress the defenders of Ukraine. The Polish drone itself became a target while approaching the Tor in its crosshairs. The air defence system tried to defend itself, but the missile it fired missed – it passed right under the drone. From that point on the days of that particular Tor system were counted:

It is possible that Warmate was too small a target for the Tor missile system, which is not that new. The development of Tor started in 1975 and it entered service in 1986. In other words, Tor missiles may not be precise enough to shoot down a very small drone. Of course, the Tor short-range air defence system was designed to shoot down cruise missiles, which are also quite small, but the Warmate is tiny compared to the regular targets of Tor.
The Tor is a mobile low-to-medium-altitude, short-range surface-to-air missile system, based on a tracked armoured chassis. It is able to track targets while on the go, although it does need to stop to fire missiles.
This attack is said to have been carried out by drone operators from the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine The Warmate is used by soldiers of the 15th Separate Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade in Ukraine.
The Warmate weighs just 5.5 kilograms, making it very light to transport by hand. Its maximum speed is more than 150 km/h. It can stay in the air for about 70 minutes while searching for a target. The Warmate is a simple aircraft with a pusher propeller, V-tail and a warhead in the nose.
The Warmate is technically a loitering munition – a type of a single-use weapon that is able to stay in the air while waiting for an opportunity to strike. Soldiers prefer to call it a less formal name of kamikaze drone.

Familiar:
(Previously 'Predator & Prey', but I took the original short poem, and made it into a longer song)
Here I am again,
Talking about the lack of life I've been living in
Never moving, never changing
Time passes by
My heart pulses like a preys
Running from the beast
A million miles an hour or so it seems
That i cant catch a break
From the warzone in my mind,
Im being shot at from behind.
Theres no pity, theres no grace
For my low, pathetic state,
Too scared to even leave my room,
Too scared to find a room for two,
My heart shatters when I feel left out,
But ill make any excuse just to be left out
Cause being the prey is so familiar,
To me.
Here I am again,
I'm so surprised that it's already November,
Darkness comes sooner now,
Time speeding by.
I feel like I'm being hunted by
An hourglass counting down the hours
Until my death becomes apparent.
With every sand particle,
dropping like a kamikaze pilot,
I'm being targeted from above.
Theres no pity, theres no grace
For my low, pathetic state,
Too scared to even leave my room,
Too scared to find a room for two,
My heart shatters when I feel left out,
But ill make any excuse just to be left out
Cause being the prey is so familiar,
When you feel like you don't matter.
There's no limit, there's no waste,
For the shrapnel in my face,
Too scared to open up my eyes,
Too scared so I stand like an Icicle,
That shatters when it's nerves,
Reach a point of no return.
Cause everything's a predator,
When being the prey's so familiar,
To me.
Oh, to me, oh.
There's no pity, there's no grace,
When you're standing out of place,
What did you expect
Without a camouflage effect?
When you cower away from fear,
The predator grins from ear to ear,
There's no limit, there's no waste,
When you're stuck in one place,
You're terrified of getting weaker,
As my body decays, my heart sinks deeper,
Cause being the prey is so familiar,
Letting myself down is so familiar,
Someone put me down, can you do it quicker?
I need to change like leaves in the winter,
I don't want to stay something familiar,
For me.

Endless sky campaign walkthrough
Tumblr media
#ENDLESS SKY CAMPAIGN WALKTHROUGH PLUS#
#ENDLESS SKY CAMPAIGN WALKTHROUGH FREE#
Do you farm korath tech first to make the falcons more capable? Or do you wait until you have beetles to do the korath farming? I’ve done both, no preference. A bunked out falcon can absolutely steal 2 (or maybe 3? I doubt it….) Shield beetle ships which sell for around $8 million each.
#ENDLESS SKY CAMPAIGN WALKTHROUGH FREE#
You could start the free worlds campaign….or head to hai space and start the cycle all over again. You now have the potential for a large fleet and the means to sustain it by selling bounty ships.
#ENDLESS SKY CAMPAIGN WALKTHROUGH PLUS#
You can eventually get falcons and leviathans this way, plus marauder falcons which are amazing. No big deal, once a bounty ship is disabled, you can leave the system, land, come back and its still there waiting, leaving you to refill crew and capture them all. Bounty missions are great because nobody messes with your bounties….except the crews who like to blow themselves up now and then. So now you have your fleet and youve been nobody’s bit….chump about it. With 3 or 4 falcon escorts fully outfitted, you should be able to start taking bounty missions. Now you can start drawing ships you want away from the center of system to make it easier to capture before it gets mowed down by the zealously murderous military. You shuold be grabbing any other ship worth your time to sell as well to pay off the bank loan and keep up with crew salary. Once you have a falcon, you can certainly bunk it out to get more falcons and start a fleet. My typical progression looks like this: Shuttle>argosy>bastion>falcon>beetle Once you are using an argosy, its time to buy rifles and grenades for attack in the nearby system of sargas, just dont forget to move them when you change ships. Keep trying, it takes a while bc everyone loves murdering slave children pirate crews. If you are struggling to get there in time. Again, no shields, no weapons, just enough power to move and the rest is outfit expansions and bunks. You want speed at least 200 but not much more, and turning over 50. Now you have a machine gun, ho…ho….ho….wait, thats not right.ĭont bother building a fleet at this pointunless you just want to, just snag an argosy and sell anything else you grab to pay bills and refit the argosy for max bunks like you did the shuttle. This will help prevent the ship from being taken out by all the kamikaze pirates who cant resist diving at weakened ships. Once you have successfully boarded a ship and captured it, click “done”on the boarding panel and immediately hit the hyperdrive jump button to get out ofd the system, and as soon as you are in aldhibain, immediately click the land button to automatically land on the planet. The best time to do this is when there are a lot of ships in range of the military/trader ships so that they turn to the next ship instead of taking the time to finish off the one you want. Then its 1 in 100 to snag it without it getting blown up. Follow it around until other ships disable it. All you do is left click the ship you want when it comes in so its in the right-hand active target indicator on the hud. This part can be frustrating, tedious, challenging, repetitive, and is super rewarding because this is the action of not being an errand boy.īasically all you do is lurk around so the main planet (where inbound ships congregate) is at the edge of your screen so you can see inbound pirate ships, but they wont be as likely to come after you. You can certainly take jobs that are on the way, but if you dont pay off any of your loan early yet, you wont need to. Open your map and click on aldhibain since it has a ship yard. Head to alniyat system (“map south-west” in what will be called free worlds region), land, now hire crew and take off again. No weapons, no shields, downgrade thruster and turning thruster, buy outfit expansion and max out bunks. New game, pick shuttle, skip tutorial (get lost old man!!) And gut it. Quickstart guide: not for fitfirst timers, the spoilers and tactic will ruin the game lol, this is for speed starting once youve seen it all so you can breeze through the story archs with absurd levels of ease. Its argueably muuuuuch faster money and good for practicing those combat skills. Thats right, grab a shuttle and get ready to steal pirate ships for a living. this is intended to help you understand a fine tuned system for getting through all current story up to 0.9.9 in a quick manner without doing any of the taxi/cargo etc missions found in the job panel. Finish FW and Wander campaign before even reading. This guide is not intended for noobs as there are many big spoilers and also because it is so simplified it makes the game boring if you haven’t already done it a few times.

In A Ten-Minute Heartbeat
The race to erase the time lag between order and delivery is intensifying. Obviously, there is an asymptote—zero minutes—which means that, at least hypothetically, the fastest you could ever order and get delivery would be the same as going to the store to buy it and take it home. But even then, this asymptote has limitations of its own, meaning the time it takes to actually go to the store.
Ever since the arrival of e-commerce, delivery time has been a bone of contention. A similar argument can be made about mail order, which dates to the first mail order company—started by Aaron Montgomery—in 1872. You just can’t be in dire need of something and expect to get it in a timely fashion when you do your shopping in any form other than face-to-face.
Except maybe now. Sure, Amazon’s Whole Foods has offered two-hour delivery in selected markets. But that’s slow compared to the grocery delivery revolution happening in India these days. Start-up companies like Zepto are promising 10 minutes flat, from time of placing the order to delivery at your door.
That’s fast. Heck, I can’t even drive to my local Walmart in 10 minutes, much less shop and then return home.
Tumblr media
Zepto was launched by two 19-year-old Stanford dropouts. From late-2020 to December 2021, their valuation had grown to $570 million. It continues to expand through India’s largest cities, but has competitors all vying for a piece of what amounts to a $620 billion market.
Delivery times so short depend on key critical factors: wicked driving skills on scooters, navigation, perhaps a little law-breaking en route, and use of “dark stores.” OK, you probably get the first three, but what’s a dark store, you ask?
It amounts to a traditional BAM grocery locking its doors to the general public, but the products are all displayed similar to how they were previously. Essentially, it is an order-picking warehouse, and has been used stateside for both curbside pickup and delivery. Zepto depends on dark stores so that associates can scurry through the aisles assembling orders, and then placing them in the backpacks of daredevils willing to take on the traffic of Mumbai, a city of 21 million people.
Which then raises the other important question: Would something like this work in any place other than the most densely-populated cities? In a word: No. I suspect that even Evel Knievel on a scooter couldn’t handle more than a mile from the dark store, unless he staged some long-distance jumps. If you’ve ever experienced Asian traffic, you know what I mean. It makes Dallas rush hour look like a Sunday morning.
Which means that Zepto needs to have many dark stores spread throughout an urban area in order to survive. Once you factor in competitors doing the same thing, suddenly the shopping landscape starts to change. In an age when faster equals better, though, it is a model suddenly in prime time.
Even the name Zepto is perfect. A “zepto” is a unit of metric measure, specifically, 10**-21 power, or 1000**-7 power. Numerically, it is 0.000000000000000000001. If ever a company name were coined to represent speed, this would be it.
Heck, I’m good if Walmart+ can deliver my groceries in a couple of hours, which often includes heavy bags of pet food. No motor scooters there, I’m afraid. About the only way I could ever imagine needing 10-minute delivery would be if I am cooking a curry and discover I need some spices right then, or the meal will fall flat.
Besides, I’m not so sure we could ever handle an influx of kamikaze scooter riders out here in West Texas. There would be people placing bets on how long—a Zepto, perhaps—before one winds up tangling with a big old pickup.
I think I’ll just go to the store myself today, thank you very much, but I can do it pretty fast too. I’ve got better things to do.

Garden of Heathen 35- Here There Be Monsters
TW: Blood death
Gally was not having a good time. The woods were dark and creepy and anything could be just outside the beam of light his flashlight produced.
BYLH? What else would get him out here in the woods at night? He sighed heavily as he realized he had been thinking more about Aussie than Lanie who had both her legs chopped off by a bottomless shaft in the ground, Hedy the dangerous predator, or even poor Gertie, though she did come in second place.
If Aussie was anything like this back when he was making that note to himself he could understand these left over feelings a lot better. He could see more clearly now that Aussie was made up of love. And not just one kind of love either, oh no. She was the love of broken things and finding beauty. She was the love that's kind and that takes care of others. The love that wants the best even for the worst people. The love that would fist fight the devil himself to get justice. Her kindness, insecurity, and anger- every other emotion was driven by love.
What the shuck was he doing in the woods? He needed to be with her. Everyone else just took the love she gave out to them, no one thought to give anything back. After everything that happened today she must be empty.
He turned on his heel and started making his way back as quick as he could, careful not to trip on roots or rocks. He felt a weird feeling in his chest, like when you come off a diet and are about to go eat all the foods you'd avoided and missed and craved for so long. It was release and relief and he felt like he might do something stupid like kiss her, God, he wanted to, but it would not be good timing. He couldn't ruin it by being impulsive, he had to wait till she could think clearly, right? So what would he do? Oh crap, what would he say? Even though touch seemed to go a long way with her she needed more. She was always saying the right thing for other people, she needed to be on the receiving end for once.
He thought about the things he might say to her as he traversed the tricky grounds of the woods, and was caught completely off guard when the flashlight illuminated something moving. Hundreds of maggots were writhing in the dirt by his feet. Confused and creeped out he scanned around with his flashlight and realized he was standing under the tree the goat had been in. They'd done their best to clean up, but there was so much blood on the ground and not much they could do about it but kick some more dirt over it. He sighed in relief though his heart continued to pound. Sure it's creepy to find maggots, but at least there was a reasonable explanation.
He turned to go, ready to put that far behind him, and he saw something there was no reasonable explanation for. At first he thought he was coming face to face with a griever, because he could not recognize it as human at first. But, just at the edge of the beam of his flashlight, there stood Hedy. Black veins pulsed beneath translucent, waxy skin as she breathed heavily.
In his surprise he took a step back, and that's when she charged. Her teeth were bared like an animal and the way she moved was disturbing. There was no strategy, no conserving energy or sense of self preservation. No, she was aiming to take him down like a kamikaze, at the highest risk possible, and that in itself struck him with terror.
She was bearing down on him with frightening speed and he knew he missed his window to flee, he'd have to stand his ground and fight. He dared not waste time swapping the flashlight over so he prepared to throw a punch with his left hand. He took a more balanced stance and timed it as perfectly as he knew how. But she was quicker. She grabbed his arm and twisted it, coming alongside him and sweeping a backward kick to his knee, bringing him to a kneeling position. From there she had enough leverage to dislocate his shoulder.
His cry of pain rang through the woods before it was cut off by Hedy pushing him onto his back. He dropped the flashlight, plunging himself into darkness as it skittered away and shined in a useless direction.
Hedy had a knee on his ribs, painfully holding him down as she grabbed his uninjured hand. He tried to fight it but she had already gotten him at a disadvantaged position and slipped a rope around his wrist. He saw a glint in the darkness and thought for sure he was about to be stabbed in the face. But there was a thud as his arm came down over his head, tied to a machete that was now deeply embedded in the base of a tree. How was she this strong?
He pulled and pulled but couldn't get enough strength behind it from the position she had him pinned in. He felt her fingers grab his face before her hot breath fanned over him.
"If you want to rescue the princess, you have to fight the monsters, don't you?" She strung along a coherent sentence despite the absolute madness in her tone, her lips brushing against his chin till he tried to wrench his face from her grasp. "Guess you're not Prince Charming after all."
She began to laugh as she held him down by the throat with one hand and rained down a few punches with the other. It was brutal and feral and Gally felt like an idiot for having a free hand he couldn't even move to defend himself. He was seeing stars but his vision was adjusting to the darkness, how nice it would be to actually see her beat him to death.
She raised her fist for another hit but it never came down. There was a thud and her weight vanished from his chest and throat, allowing him to take a deep breath at last. Scuffling noises and angry, unintelligible grunts and yells came from the darkness to his right as he coughed and gasped. He looked over and saw Hedy straddling another figure, raining down fists on them as they used their arms as a shield. Hedy grabbed their wrists and pulled their arms away, exposing her new victim to be Aussie.
——-
Aussie had no idea that Hedy was stung, she just saw her silhouette in the darkness as she hit Gally. All her rage came boiling back to the surface and she was running before she knew what she was doing. She threw herself hard as could against Hedy, and they toppled over the ground, struggling and tangling together, pain screaming in Aussie's weaker body.
She knew help had to be behind her, no one missed Gally's scream, she just had to hold out till they arrived. Hedy came out with the upper hand as she pinned Aussie to the ground. Luckily her hits were predictably timed and Aussie would turn in the direction of the next fist so her arms took the brunt of the hit more often than not, but a few still got in. When Hedy tried to pull her arms away, Aussie planted her feet on the ground as close to her own body as she could, allowing her leverage to buck her hips beneath Hedy. She started to topple forward and released her arms so she could catch herself. Aussie took the opportunity to send the heel of her palm into Hedy's nose in an upward motion.
Hedy screamed as her eyes involuntarily watered from a broken nose, blurring her vision. Aussie took that advantage to punch her in the throat. Hedy gasped and choked and Aussie was able to scramble out from under her. But the effects didn't last long, Hedy was coming for her again on all fours like an animal and Aussie felt panicked.
She felt the ground around her for a rock or branch she could use to defend herself till help arrived, Gally had been yelling his head off but so far had not been able to help her. She was worried he was hurt very badly. She heard approaching voices as her hand curled over something smooth, it felt like a handle. She grabbed it and held it up, trying to see what it was in the dark, but Hedy was already throwing herself on top of Aussie again.
There was a sickening sound, wet and grating as Hedy collided with her again, the weight of her body pressing down on whatever Aussie held and jamming it against her own body painfully. Her hands were trapped between them as Hedy swiped at her face and shoulders with less and less ferocity.
Aussie saw light fill the woods as the smell of blood came again, this time more sour and heavy. It was hot and wet on her hands and falling on her neck and chest from Hedy's mouth as she raggedly breathed.
"I... I didn't want her... to suffer," Hedy rasped through a strained voice as a clarity replaced the madness in her eyes, Aussie finally seeing the black veins crawling under her skin. "Lanie..."
A tear fell from her eyes and onto Aussie's cheek before the life faded from them. Hands pulled her body away and grabbed at Aussie, helping her sit up. Hedy slumped there on the ground, a machete through her chest and a remorseful look frozen on her face.
A strong arm wrapped around her shoulders from behind, pulling her back tightly against a broad chest.
"Aussie, are you hurt?" Gally's nervous and strained voice came from right beside her ear.
"No, not too bad," she shook her head before she felt Gally press his mouth to her hair above her ear, her eyes unable to leave Hedy's face.
There was no escaping it, this was a life she was directly responsible for taking.
"I'm covered in blood again... aren't I?" She asked Gally, deep in shock.
She felt him nod as he stroked her arm and gently rocked her.
"Oh my god, Gally!" Gertie's voice cut through the night as she rushed over to them, her eyes red and worried. "Your shoulder!"
Aussie turned and saw his other arm limp at his side, his shoulder an unnatural square shape.
"Oh!" Aussie yelled in surprise, her hand covering her mouth.
"It's nothing," he said softly shaking his head, trying to pull her close again. There was a cut on his brow and his bottom lip was split, bruises soon to follow the red patches on his face. But worst of all were the tears. They fell in steady streams down his face, cutting through the dirt and blood.
She couldn't handle them the first time and she couldn't handle them now. "It's not nothing, Gally," Aussie croaked with her broken voice, bordering on tears herself now.
"I can fix it, I just need to get him to the house," Gertie assured them both. "Aussie, are you ok? Is any of this blood yours?"
Aussie looked down at herself, having no clue if she was bleeding or not. "I... don't think so."
Gertie's hands roamed her quickly as she checked for wounds. "Ok, you're not that serious," Gertie sighed in relief. "Joan! Come help me get Gally to the house! Georgia, Rani, can you help Aussie get cleaned up in the outdoor shower, we'll use the indoor one for Gally. Bring to her to me when she's done so I can examine her too."
The other girls pried Gally and Aussie apart and got them to their feet, helping them along through the woods. Georgia helped Aussie to the showers while Rani went ahead to the house to grab her clothes. Her towel from the Goat Incident still hung over the stall.
"Alright Aussie," Georgia groaned slightly as she lowered Aussie onto the crate. "Let's get you cleaned up."
"I didn't mean to kill her," Aussie spoke quietly, her eyes not focused on anything. "I wasn't trying to."
"I know," Georgia assured her as she pulled off her shoes.
"I still did though."
Georgia sighed and looked up at her. "Yeah and she would have killed you, and she would have killed Gally just like she did kill Lanie. And that stunt with the goat, she was a psychopath, Aussie. Do you understand that?" She asked her as she placed a hand on her knee to get her attention. "Aussie, you are not a killer. You didn't mean it so it was an accident. You were defending yourself and protecting Gally- geez you protected all of us! Who knows who she would have hurt or killed next."
"But I still did it," Aussie said, holding up her hands covered in blood.
"Yeah, and I'm sorry it came down to that, but you're gonna live with it, alright?" Georgia said more firmly, running out of patience for such a soft bedside manner.
She took the hose and began washing the blood off Aussie's hands.
"You see that?" She asked her. "It starts to fade and underneath you're still the same person you always were. So I need you to tighten up! The only way to make sure it wasn't all a waste is to live to get out of here and bring the real killers to justice."
Aussie stared at her with her wide innocent eyes, not saying another word about it. She began cleaning herself up which Georgia took as a good sign. She left her to it and stood by the stall just in case. Rani came back with clothes when another resounding yell came from Gally.
Aussie dried off as quickly as possible and got dressed, taking off for the house as she pulled her shirt on, Georgia and Rani on her heels.
"Be careful Aussie!" Rani yelled as she took her by the arm to help her along. "You don't know if you have a concussion or not."
They got in the house to find Gally on the couch with Gertie tending to him, his arm was in a sling now, resting on a pillow on his lap. He was cleaned up and in new clothes as well, Gertie examining the damage done to his face.
"Gally are you ok?" Aussie asked as she careened across the living room to get to him.
"He's kind of out of it," Gertie had to inform her. "I gave him the last of the pain meds for when I popped his shoulder back into place."
Aussie sat beside him and held his good hand. Gertie checked her out as well, finding a surprisingly very mild concussion, and just bruises and scratches. Injuries that only time and antibiotic ointment would fix.
"You gonna be ok, Gertie?" Aussie asked her. "I'm so sorry about Lanie."
Gertie shrugged as she fought back tears.
"Is it bad that I'm kind of relieved I don't have to watch her die slowly and be in pain?" She asked.
"No," Aussie said as she grabbed her and hugged her tight. "Life demanded a lot from you today. More than it ever should have."
"And you too," Gertie reminded her.
"And me."
