No tag lists. Do not send asks or DMs about updates. Review my pinned post for guidelines, masterlist, etc.

Part of the Sweet and Spicy AU

Warnings: this fic will include dark content such as dubcon/noncon, and other possible triggers. My warnings are not exhaustive, enter at your own risk.

18+ only. Your media consumption is your own responsibility. Warnings have been given. DO NOT PROCEED if these matters upset you.

Summary: Your startup business catches the eye of a powerful rival.

Character: Loki Laufeyson

Please comment and reblog if it’s not too much. I always love getting to chat about these stories and hearing all your ideas! You all are wonderful and loved.

“So, the Green Bundle includes a Match truffle, chocolate mint smoothies, and green tea infused fudge,” you explain to the trio of women across from you. “The deluxe includes peppermint cocoa as well and comes in a this mug.”

You present one of the few kits you have left in your inventory. As big a deal as getting a stall at the event was, you hadn’t expected the crowd. You’re overwhelmed, especially realising you’re the only stand with only a single body.

“That’s so cute,” the taller brunette remarks, “what about the Pink kit? It says strawberry and creme?”

“Ah, yes, that one sold out rather quickly today. I can offer a voucher for my online boutique or I can sell you a sampler box? It has the strawberry and creme as well as my more popular flavours.”

“Do you do this all yourself?” The curly blonde asks as she eyes the chocolate dipped cherries.

Another body crowds in, a tall men bending to peruse your hand-painted sign listing all your bundles and boxes. He pays you little mind as he eyes cling to the letters and he reaches to pluck up one of your cards. You return your attention to the blonde.

“Yes, they’re all hand-crafted. The mugs as well but I don’t do those. I’ve a friend who makes those.”

“The packaging is so pretty,” the first preens, “can I have a sampler then?”

“Sure,” you answer, “I do the packaging as well. All the stickers, the bows I tie myself, and I decorate each box.”

“Wow, that’s so cool,” the middle on remarks, “I’ll have a sampler as well and the green bundle.”

“Sampler for me,” the third agrees.

You go through the same process with each. You grab the product, put it in a bag, seal it with a sticker, and ring them through with a tap of their card. They all seem excited for their purchase and it’s contagious. It’s been a hectic day but you’re running low and you don’t think you’ll make it through to closing. Still, it’s good advertising.

“Green tea fudge?” The tall man slithers towards the center of your counter, “an unusual combination.”

“Yes, that one took a lot of experimenting.”

“Mmm,” he still has your card in hand, bending it slightly as he flicks it with his thumb, “the red bundle. Cherry, red velvet, and...” he leans back to check the sign, “cayenne. Interesting.”

“I try to make sure there’s variety in each,” you explain.

“Yes, so it seems. I’ll take a red then.”

“Sorry, sir, um, I’ve sold out of most. I still have the yellow, the black, and the green--”

“Sold out?” He raises his wrist to give an emphatic glance at his watch, “either you’re very popular or ill-prepared.”

You’re surprised by the accusation. He’s rather blunt. You’ve dealt with many different types today but they’ve all been relatively pleasant, after all, it’s hard to be in a bad mood at a Baking Show.

“Fair, I wasn’t expecting so many buyers, sir. But you have my card, you’ll see my online boutique is listed--”

“But I want to buy now,” he says as he tilts his head, dark brows rising just slightly.

“I understand, I apologise for the inconvenience, but I just don’t have the red on-hand. I do have a sampler here--” You grab one of the variety boxes, “it would have the cayenne and the cherry.”

“Do you think a one-person operation like this is sustainable?” He inquires sharply.

You wince and shake your head, “sir? I’ve only just started. I’m sure with growth I’ll have to adjust.”

“And do you have a business plan or is this some Etsy venture with no goals?”

You nearly choke. You don’t know what you’ve done to offend him.

“Well, sir, if you don’t want to buy, I do have free samples available. I don’t have any of the red flavours but I do have some banana peanut butter and salted caramel apple--”

“I didn’t ask about samples,” he insists, “I’m asking about your business plan.”

You bat your lashes and look around. Has he come to this event just to interrogate people over their bottom line?

“I suppose it’s something I will have to review after today,” you contend.

“I’d say,” he tucks your card into his jacket pocket, his hand lingering within as he pulls out a leather wallet, “if you have any questions...”

He slides a card free and offers it. You take it hesitantly and read the gold font on matte black cardstock. Black Snake Chocolatier. You run your fingers over the embossed lettering and narrow your eyes. You peer over at the large banner over that business’ booth. He must be from over there but he’s not exactly dressed for the work. His suit is pressed and stainless.

“I did sponsor that one,” he pulls your attention back, “but I’ve come down to take measure of my competition and possible... acquisitions.”

You nod slowly as you meet his green eyes. Is this intimidation?

“Loki Laufeyson,” he offers his hand as a glint of silver in his hair catches the light, “might I have your name?”

You trade your name and a handshake. He squeezes enough for you to wince. He lets go and you slip his card in you apron pocket with all the others collected from your fellow vendors.

“I’ll certainly take a sampler,” he says, “see if this little venture has any teeth.”

His every word is like a bite. He speaks with the fangs of the very logo of his business. You put his purchase into your phone and offer the square for him to tap his payment. He processes it and swipes up the box before you can package it.

“Do you want a bag?” You ask.

“I can handle it,” he tucks the box under his arm. “Best of luck to you doing the same.”

He glances around and slowly moves aside as a group of new customers set in. A family of five with three hollering children with grabby hands. Your eyes widen as you smile at them as best you can. This day has truly tested your social battery.

one time, years ago, spent an afternoon totally alone in a mostly unused upper floor of the landmark center in boston, probably sometime after blue cross blue shield left but before they got a new tenant to take the place. so there was some inscrutable startup clustered around some desks in one corner of the floor and from there just, like, a football field's worth of office infrastructure. arranged quite orderly in some places, half-assembled in others. rows of all-set-up cubicles next to bundles of wires dangling from the ceiling. it was really cool and pretty uncanny.

back before i started treating my insomnia, there would be nights where i'd get bored out of my skull at 3 in the morning and decide to do shit like walk a mile and a half to the nearest store that's still open in order to buy chips & salsa, then walk halfway back and sit next to some statue in a park to eat them all in one sitting. everything wet from dew, dimly lit by the ambient light from streetlamps and windows, alone next to some cold dead dude from the 1800s and a flagpole.

when 'liminal spaces' came en vogue i was hoping they would capture these feelings, but nope. almost none of the stuff i've come across -- and certainly nothing being shit out by the big accounts -- really hits that particular feeling of an encounter with the utility-driven manmade world on terms that expose it for the inhuman, alienating space it is. it's so underwhelming to me that i have to wonder what most people are getting out of it.

my guess is that people aren't looking for that sort of aesthetic because they've never had that kind of experience -- people who don't wander, who don't interact with the world in non-prescribed ways, are getting their first exposure to that feeling vicariously through 'liminal spaces'.

i guess what i'm saying here is that if you like the backrooms, you'll love just kind of walking around aimlessly on your own in places nobody has any legitimate business going at this time of night.

Storage Upgrades

It's 0430 as you crawl your way out of the bunk. Your back hurts, your head hurts, your legs hurt, and of course, you fall when you try to walk to the bathroom. This has been happening more and more recently.

Everyone around you has the same dazed look. After all, It's hard to get any decent sleep with a neurolink helmet the size of a beach ball scanning your thought patterns. It's best not to focus on that though. You've just put your fifth bead of Toothpaste on the brush and that seems better than the rest of the squad this morning.

Today's class is almost over now. Just last week you remember being bright-eyed and ready for anything, however, it seems the fifteenth "history" lesson on a war your nation totally "won" has taken the wind from your sails. Click. Slide 35. Click. Slide 36. Click…

The sun is setting now. You're walking in formation back to the barracks and between the lack of sleep and the extra 10lbs on your head, it's getting hard to keep in step. The sloppy movements inevitably lead to another session of screaming and physical exertion. Instructors in the Rhodeian Advanced Mechanized Camp don't take kindly to perceived failures. But if that tremor in the ground you felt as you failed your 48th pushup was what you hoped then this will all be worth it.

It's 0435 you earned the extra five minutes of sleep over these past two months. You shuffle across the floor. It's easier than walking. Everyone is so sore that full muscle movements aren't practical anymore. At least this time you only miss your face once with your toothbrush.

The classes have gotten easier. Gone are slides 1 through 92. Maintainance checks and startup procedures are much more engaging. Especially once you're in the simulators. The sore muscles, heavy eyelids, and slow thinking are all gone here. Replaced instead by cable tendons and bulky actuators. The hum of a reactor pulses inside of-is-completes your mind and finally, you feel the payoffs of joining the most experimental program in Rhodeia. A shame they have to limit your exposure time for safety.

You no longer march back to what passes for home these days. The barracks are just too far for your bodies to make it. Especially with the migraines and double vision that your class has been suffering. With a weak class-wide shout of "5th fights first" the bus arrives and drives you back.

The time is 0435 .0004 seconds past your alarm timer. You open your eye and begin climbing out of bed. The fall is much longer this time. You feel the wind rushing by you as you sense the 25-foot drop. Panic-fear-need rushes through your myomer bundles as you catch yourself and freeze. You're not in the barracks. All around your squad-pack-assist units struggle with the same realization. The flip wasn't supposed to happen for months still.

Laeddis-unit 07-0352807 is trying to heave in prep bay six. Which is hard without a stomach. Brenner-Unit 05-0352805 is trying to run his-its hands-autocannon mk3s through its hair, and the ammo feeds are hopelessly caught on its sensor array. Unit 02 has a crowd of men in white coats surrounding it. Sometimes the jump doesn't take. You're recovering quickly. Months ahead of schedule is like Christmas come early for you, who closed door after door in the face of a different life for…. this.

A few shuffling steps leave scrapes four inches deep in the concrete of the hangar floor. Your footsteps shake the ground as a 12-ton chassis takes its first steps in its new-dream-optimal life. You've been doing these simulations for months and the neurohelm mapped your nerves well. Only your left arm… no actuator 3-ball joint b27 responds slowly to command. You never question what happened to your human-HATRED-suboptimal body. The barracks-home is outside mission parameters anyway.

ALTIMETER 10000FT LOCATION -----REDACTED----- TIME 0435Z

The retros flare, metal turning an ugly blue then red, and finally white before shearing off entirely. The fall slows enough for your 12-ton war machine to hit the ground with barely a shudder as a small black high-power antenna extends from the back. A single red blink and suddenly your vision cuts. Your handler, certus, is gone from the eye of your Unit Storage device, and a targeting reticle indicates just enough information for you to finally flex your processor's power. Unit 05 and unit 07 flank you, beaming pirated movies across the secure channel at a speed so fast the Containment censors back at Rhodeian command won't even notice it's happening. You feel the ghostly sensation of a hand on rear plate 2 as Certus reminds you on channel 0352801 about the restrictions in place on pirated material… and that they just so happen to have the extended cut available later tonight if you top the charts today. Handlers never have had much respect for the censors anyway.

You smile-warm-joy and get a hit of neurostimulator that assures you Certus is already looking forward to tonight. Targets do not fail to present themselves, but Unit 05 and Unit 07 are too busy chattering to keep pace. The hand on rear plate 2 never leaves.

TIME 1930EST LOCATION: CONTAINMENT FACILITY 4A

Seated exactly 8.2 centimeters from Certus's left leg is your Unit Storage Device. The bare almost human frame of the UST feels constricting. Only 85% of the processing power, dulled reflexes, and 4 remote kill switches make for an uncomfortable transition. Most Units hate the feeling and you're no different, but it's hard to argue when Certus has a DVD collection that takes up most of their quarters, and 12 tons of explosive reactive armor is hard to fit indoors.

The single red eye that lets you perceive the world around you shows every plot point that Units 05 and 07 are clogging comms traffic arguing about. You let them be for a time. Certus can't respond in under a millisecond but it's nice knowing… you're heating up… no threats secondary scan is clear, tertiary scan is clear, wait what ohgodits broken-FEAR-SUBOP

Booting safe mode….. 45%…. 70%…. Complete…

"Samantha! God Samantha you there? I'm so sorry, we hit THAT scene and flipped the switch as fast as I could. Are you good?"

Your camera registers Certus frantically tapping your casing as your secondary systems come online. You're in the maintenance bay and the techs know well enough to leave the two of you alone by now.

"This unit is fine, Handler. Thank you for your concern."

You replay the previous events and… there. At 47 minutes 23.8 seconds the most controversial scene had come up. The Rhodeian government never did have a good history with those who weren't their definition of normal. It's why this program was such a perfect escape from your old storage device after all.

Certus initiates a coolant flush. You were reaching triple-digit Temps again just thinking about it.

"This unit apologizes for the earlier events, Handler." you project from your frontal speaker.

"Hey, that was a big step we wanted to take. We both knew that would be hard on you. How about we go back and watch something easier tonight?" Their reassuring voice has taken on a unique tone. You've not seen it repeated in any of their 2918 recorded interactions with others.

"That would be nice, Certus."

Certus falls asleep 1.69 hours into your Sci-fi adventure series. Their hand never leaves back plate 2.

---------

My first writing. Created at 4am like all good things are. Hope you enjoyed.

𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆… 𝐒𝐈𝐍 𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘, 𝐀𝐍 𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘

❝ Marisol Crúz is a woman seeking justice. Specifically, she seeks justice against Harlan Maddox, a corrupt Las Vegas casino owner who, just a little over a year ago, had been found to rig his slot machines and who had scammed his customers out of a collective ten million dollars. But Maddox, being rich enough to cheat the justice system, had not received the punishment he deserved, and so Marisol is determined to drain the bastard’s bank account and give the stolen money back to Maddox’s victims. And as the wealthy CEO of a large tech conglomerate, inherited from her father when it was only a tiny startup, she certainly has the riches and resources to do it. But in order to pull off her plan properly, she’s going to need a team - one consisting of highly skilled individuals who will be the best choices to help Marisol hand down her justice.

CeCe Gomez has been Marisol’s best friend since the two of them were small (and a little bit more than that in high school, but that’s in the past). She’s also a certified badass, a former US Marine who was honourably discharged due to a shoulder injury and who now acts as a martial arts instructor in the heart of New York City. CeCe has always been willing to go along with Marisol’s crazy schemes, but the two of them lost contact several years ago and haven’t heard from each other since. But when her old friend’s lawyer visits her gym and asks if she’d be willing to join a team Marisol is assembling, of course CeCe’s answer is yes. She’s never been good at saying no to Marisol Crúz.

Zeke Rojas is a born and bred conman, but he hasn’t wanted to be for some time. He’s been disillusioned with the life of a liar and a cheat since he was seventeen years old, which was kind of a hard thing to be when his entire family consisted of the most accomplished con artists in Chile. He finally got out of the family “business” four years ago, fleeing to the United States in the middle of the night and leaving no trace of himself behind, but it hasn’t been easy to go straight when the only skills he’s ever been taught are cheating and stealing. He’s working the cold streets of Chicago, picking pockets and trying desperately to get a real, steady job, when he’s approached by the personal lawyer of the young CEO of CrúzTech, offering him a chance to finally use his talents for good.

Charlie Kellman has had a lifelong fascination with everything that goes boom, but being an economically-challenged bundle of social anxiety and possible undiagnosed autism hasn’t exactly provided him with many opportunities to use his demolition skills in legal ways. Not that that’s an excuse for assisting in four bank robberies, he knows it’s not, but also the robbers were all very nice and he doesn’t really have any friends, so it was nice to find some people he could hang out with while also being useful. That is, until the cops came upon the most recent robbery and the others completely ditched him, leaving Charlie to run from the law while alone once again. He’s still running when Marisol Crúz’s lawyer finds him, offering to get him an official pardon in exchange for joining some kind of Robin Hood team where he’ll get to use his explosives for an actual good cause. Getting to be around a group of people, no longer worrying about getting arrested, and being allowed to blow stuff up? It’s practically Charlie’s dream deal, how is he supposed to refuse?

Eva Carmichael knows she’s a talented singer. She’s known it from a very young age, and she desperately wants other people to know it too. But without the dough to make connections and properly promote herself, it’s extremely hard to break onto the New York music scene. And apparently Marisol Crúz, a badass young CEO whom Eva has always admired, knows she’s talented as well, because she wants Eva to be her “in” for a heist she’s planning by getting a job as a singer in a Las Vegas casino. It’s not exactly the big break Eva was expecting, but at this point, she’s willing to do pretty much anything to get her talent out there. Plus, she’s sure as hell not going to pass up a free trip to Sin City.

Logan Wilder is a self-proclaimed “hacking vigilante,” using his considerable computer skills to hack into the financial systems of corrupt businesses and give money back to their swindled customers. He’s also a white hat hacker, doing people a favour by breaking into various security systems to pinpoint their weaknesses and informing the owners about them, but either way, he’s never been on the right side of the law. That’s why he’s in a cold holding cell with a rock-hard bench when some lawyer dude he did not call for comes to visit him, proclaiming that Marisol freaking Crúz wants to utilize his skills to pull off a heist in Vegas in exchange for getting all the charges against him dropped. It’s basically a chance for Logan to continue his mission on a much larger scale, plus it gets him off of this awful bench that’s made his ass completely numb by this point, so of course he agrees.

Now assembled, Marisol’s team makes their way to America’s City of Lights, ready and willing to pull off their plan. In two weeks, Harlan Maddox will be hosting a gala in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of his biggest and best casino - the perfect opportunity for the team to strike. And so, putting Marisol’s scheme into action, the team slowly infiltrates Maddox’s business, getting Eva a job performing at the gala in addition to getting CeCe hired as Maddox’s new bodyguard and Logan as the casino’s new IT manager.

The plan seems to be going off without a hitch, but of course it wouldn’t go exactly according to plan. As Logan spends more time around Jack, Maddox’s sweet but overworked assistant, he begins to doubt the fairness of taking all the money away from a man who has people on his payroll. In addition, Marisol has been keeping a secret from the team about why she wants justice against Maddox in the first place - one that may destroy their trust in her if it comes to light.

As the night of the gala, and the heist, draws nearer, the team, who have all become something of a family to each other these last two weeks, begin to wonder: will they be able to pull off this plan after all, or will the heist, and their newly-found connections with it, come crashing apart?

Either way, what happens in Vegas is not going to stay in Vegas. Not this time. ❞

Junk Hauling Is Ostensibly the Best Small Business to Start

Junk Hauling: Why It's Among the Best Businesses to Open

The best businesses for the ordinary person don't take a ton to start with. That is just because your ordinary person isn't loaded with money and can't pay to face the challenges that accompany starting a small business. The greater part of little businesses fall flat during their most memorable year of activity, and tons of individuals can't put consuming their time on earth in extreme danger savings on a 50/50 bet. The thing that makes rubbish hauling a good business to start is that it has such a low above. If you have a truck you own, your starting costs could be essentially zero. Track down a good sets of pigskins and get in the seat of your truck. Job on. These are just a couple of reasons for why rubbish hauling is simple business to start, and why it has all the likely on the planet to burden your wallet with cash.

1. The money: Junk hauling pays out the whazoo. A typical hourly rate for your rubbish hauling service is harsh to drop by. This ain't material. Every gig is remarkable. It could take you one hour to drop an entire bundle of horrible plastic grass tables from someone's storage unit into the bed of your apparatus, and it could totally top your bed off with non-paying junk. A different story is that it could require just one hour to bust up somebody's aluminum airstream trailer trapped in the ditch behind the house, and afterward Number One could get that doggy down to the piece yard and get papered good money for it. Everything thing you can manage before starting a new business is a little exploration. Realize which scrap yard has the best prices, and which is the nearest to you. May be worth the effort to drive an hour off with a unique load of scrap if they'll pay something else for it somewhere else and your apparatus doesn't chug gas like a F-450. Use the web. Search out what it costs, in dollars per cubic yard or by ton, to dump at a landfill. Before advertising your service, it's best that you know however much you can about what precisely you should make arrangements for once you leave the client's place with an enormous truck loaded with junk. Dependable guideline is metal's good, aluminum's perfect's, gold, and rubber and plastic will cost you.

2. Modest startup costs. If you don't own an apparatus, just rent one. Rent a haul-behind trailer if you have the vital hitch. If you rent an apparatus, make sure you budget your time ahead of time. Try not to get stuck cruising the roads on delayed pursuing nothing. '

3. Plan from home. Try not to be on any other individual's timetable. Haul on ends of the week.

4. Significant interest for the service. Americans, more than they at any point have, are paying for junk removal services.

5. Basically the least expensive advertising costs you can envision. View as your free of charge online: craigslist, Google, Hurray, and Howl. No paying for announcements.

Chrissy Kinsella was looking for a more personalized approach to her health. “You know, what is good for you as an individual may not necessarily be good for the next person,” she says. So she reached for a subscription to Zoe—a personalized nutrition service cofounded by Tim Spector, a celebrity scientist and a genetic epidemiologist at King’s College London. Kinsella paid the £299 ($365) for a testing kit and later received a bright yellow package in the mail: a bundle of vials, patches, and muffins.

By testing, scoring, and monitoring how you respond to different foods, Zoe says, it can help with a whole host of problems. Its personalized recommendations can help you “reach a healthy weight,” “feel less bloated,” and “avoid chronic health issues,” claims its website. The program can even help with menopause, Zoe says.

But doctors are more ambivalent. Sure, getting people to think critically about what they eat can be beneficial, but scoring and monitoring someone’s diet could lead to unnecessary health concerns or even disordered eating. British doctors say they have seen perfectly healthy patients with concerns about their blood sugar control prompted by readings in their Zoe app.

A Zoe starter pack includes a fecal sampling kit, a finger-prick blood test, and a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). Participants are asked to take a blood sample before and after they eat a muffin precisely engineered by the startup to contain specific levels of fat, sugar, and proteins. Zoe then runs a blood-fat test to see how each person responds to fat in their diet (prolonged high levels of fat in the blood are a health risk). Combined with blood glucose data (from the CGM) and an analysis of the quality of their microbiome (via the fecal sample), these measurements are used to create personalized diet recommendations, where each item of food is scored on a scale up to 100.

A sugary food, for example, would have a low score for someone whose data shows their body doesn’t control blood sugar levels well; for someone with good sugar control, the same food would be scored a bit higher. Meals, too, are scored out of 100—based on the personalized scores of their ingredients, as well as how those ingredients interact.

Kinsella, who used the program for a year, says she values the insights it gave on what foods were more suited to her body—now she knows that she tolerates fat well, sugar not so much, and that dairy milk sits better with her than oat milk. Kinsella loved inspecting data about her body, but she admits she became obsessed with checking the app to see what her blood sugar was doing in response to what she ate, courtesy of the CGM. Small, coin-shaped, and usually affixed to the upper arm, CGMs have been a regular appendage of people with diabetes for years now, allowing them to track dips and hikes in blood sugar without needing to prick their finger every time. There’s been a growing trend of companies selling the monitors to people without diabetes for them to track how their body responds to certain foods. Levels and Veri, two other personalized nutrition plans, also use CGMs.

Getting a score of at least 75 every day is the ultimate aim of the Zoe program. This figure is calculated based on what you’ve eaten. But Kinsella found herself ruling out a lot of foods because they wouldn’t get her to that magic number, and she thinks the app encourages this kind of obsessive behavior. “You’re giving people an app that is kind of almost gamified, in that when you hit this magical 75, you get a big green circle. And everybody wants to get 10 big green circles in a row,” she says.

Shivani Misra, a consultant doctor specializing in diabetes in London, has seen an influx of patients at her non-NHS practice who have either purchased a CGM themselves or through the Zoe program, and who’ve become worried they are at risk for developing diabetes—due to seeing either continuously high blood sugar levels or sharp rises and falls.

When Misra formally tests them for diabetes, the results always come back normal. “We shouldn’t be using CGM to diagnose diabetes; it’s absolutely not validated for that,” she says. What concerns Misra is the people she’s seen who are restricting calorie intake and have become extremely anxious about eating carbohydrates. “I really worry about that group, because they’ve just become overwhelmed with the data that they’re seeing, which is completely normal.”

“It’s set up to derive those kinds of behaviors in exactly the people that would be susceptible to it, in my opinion,” she says. The patients who came to her were seeking professional guidance because they felt their anxiety about what the data was telling them had become problematic—in the case of one patient, they felt they couldn’t eat fruit anymore. “I personally think there is some corporate responsibility to make sure that there is adequate safety in place for people,” says Misra.

Federica Amati, a medical scientist and nutritionist and a science communications strategist at Zoe, says that the company has “lots of systems in place for customer service, and for our coaching team to be able to flag if they feel that somebody is not interacting with the app in a healthy way,” she says. “Of course, the fact that there’s a score associated with food is still problematic if you have disordered eating.”

On the potential for programs like Zoe to burden health systems with concerned users, Amati says that the company is putting a task force together to investigate how medical professionals are experiencing Zoe’s influence. “We feel very responsible about it,” she says.

Nicola Guess, a dietitian and researcher at the University of Oxford, says that she has also been approached by patients concerned about their health after seeing their blood glucose spike while wearing a CGM offered as part of a personalized nutrition plan. When she tested these patients to assess their blood glucose control, their results were completely normal. “It’s just making them quite weird about food, and it takes a lot of the enjoyment out of food for no reason whatsoever,” says Guess.

But, says Amati, Zoe didn’t create the worried well, noting that the problem has been an issue for the public health service for a very long time. “For sure, we’ve probably now created a new stream for the worried well to feed into, but I think that that’s a bigger problem than just Zoe.”

There is also a big question mark over how useful personalized nutrition really is. Zoe’s nutrition scores are predicated on the idea that each of us responds to the same food in a slightly different way—thanks, in part, to our microbiomes. But translating this into dietary advice is trickier and less well understood. A personalized diet might tell someone to cut out white bread and eat more leafy vegetables, for example, but is this really more effective than the same advice delivered by a family doctor or a public health advertisement?

“Zoe doesn’t eschew all the normal health advice,” Amati says. “We’re not like, ‘Oh, no, don’t eat more fruits and vegetables’—it sits within the recommendations that we know are very good for the majority.”

There is precious little clinical trial data on personalized nutrition apps, says Duane Mellor, a dietitian and researcher at Aston University in the UK. One study from Israel published in 2015 compared personalized diets generated by a machine-learning algorithm with diets selected by a clinical dietitian. The authors found that people in both groups had fewer glucose spikes after meals—indicating a healthier diet.

But whether personalized nutritional plans really make a difference is something Zoe is studying. Next month, Amati says the company will be releasing the results of a randomized controlled trial, called the Zoe Method Study. The trial involved one group of people receiving the full Zoe product and another group simply receiving standard nutritional advice, plus access to support services through an app. The study aims to test the efficacy of a program like Zoe in improving cardiometabolic risk markers in otherwise healthy people, through testing their resulting levels of cholesterol and triglycerides (a type of fat), as well as measuring other things like weight, blood pressure, glycemic control, and hunger levels.

All of this doesn’t come cheap, and Zoe users have to pay membership fees for continued access to their bespoke scores. Prices start at £59.99 ($73) for a single month and go down to £24.99 ($30) per month for a year-long plan. At those prices, Zoe is aimed squarely at wealthier consumers—a point not lost on columnist James Greig, who wrote about Zoe in the newsletter Vittles.“If our environment really is saturated with poisons, then bespoke services like Zoe are not a scalable solution but a form of private health care that will further entrench existing inequalities,” Greig wrote.

Amati acknowledges that Zoe’s program is expensive, but she says, “The product at the moment is the price it is because the testing we do is expensive.” She says the idea is that, as the techniques and technology become more common, the price will come down accordingly, and that Zoe has plans to work with the NHS and other providers to “become part of the health approach.” In the meantime, the company places focus on communicating health advice for free through forums like social media and podcasts.

Zoe is still proving popular, with over 130,000 people having tried the service so far. Part of the appeal of personalized nutrition is that it goes beyond weight loss to address other concerns people have about their health. Zoe markets its diet as a way to improve energy levels, gut health, and sleep. William Viney, a researcher who has worked on personalized medicine, points out that there are a huge number of people who have health issues that aren’t easily addressed by doctors and mainstream diets. “They know that they’re not like everyone else, and they need to get to the bottom of something,” says Viney. “There is an opportunity to bring information, and with it care, to whoever can pay the price for such a product.”

Hi this might be a bit stupid but I've been wondering how to open "balloon" ukagaka thingys because the macaque 1 i downloaded didnt come with a ghost folder and im confused :,)

That depends on what you mean by "open", exactly!

These days, most ghosts that have a unique balloon will include it bundled with them so they install together. However, older English ghosts frequently distributed their balloons separately, simply because we didn't know how to bundle them back then. Some devs continue to distribute the balloons separately, for various reasons.

So, if you happen across a ghost that has a unique balloon but it is not bundled with the ghost, then you will have to download and install the balloon separately. It is best to do this before you run the ghost for the first time, that way the ghost should use the balloon automatically when it first runs!

Frequently, these balloons will be distributed as zip files. But now and then, you'll find them as nar files too (zip files and nar files are effectively the same, but nar files can be associated with SSP). All you need to do is download the zip or nar for the balloon, and drag and drop it onto any running ghost to install it.

The ghost should say when it has completed the installation (though some ghosts may not). It usually only takes a few seconds. After that, if you right click on any ghost, you should be able to hover over the Balloon tab to see your list of balloons. The balloon you just installed should now be in that list!

After this point, if you have not installed the ghost that the balloon is for, now would be the time to install them. And, hopefully, they should use the correct balloon automatically upon startup.

If you had already installed the ghost, or the ghost doesn't automatically use the correct balloon, all you need to do is right click that ghost, go to the Balloon tab, and find the balloon you want in the list! Just click it and they should switch over.

Some ghosts will have their unique balloon set as their "standard" balloon. This means that the balloon will appear in a special spot in the balloon tab, to make it easier to find! It looks a bit like this (though mind that my balloons are sorted into subfolders, so yours may not look exactly the same)

Hopefully that helps! If not, feel free to send us another ask with more details.

Learn Emacs?

I think Emacs is something best learned on the side, as a platform - as a programming language, a REPL for that language, a set of libraries, a framework for making GUIs (primarily but not exclusively text-oriented ones), and a package ecosystem. But you should not actually try to use it as your primary text editor, or even learn it as such. If you're like me, you'll spread this journey out in many little tries over many years, and that's fine.

Try the goodies built into Emacs that are not text editing. Try dired. Try eshell. Install Magit and try that. Maybe install and try a preconfigured bundle of config and packages like Spacemacs, not to grow into it but just to see what it's like. Try some Org mode stuff. If you ever use SSH or FTP or whatever, or even just sudo, try TRAMP. Try TRAMP with dired, try TRAMP with eshell, try TRAMP with anything else neat that you've found.

If you're like me, you'll probably walk away after each little thing thinking "yeah okay that's neat, But I don't really get what the big deal is, I could do the same with thing [...]". You'll notice how you could compose a lot of little UNIX programs together to do the same stuff, and you'll like that design more. You'll be annoyed by the startup time vs Neovim, you'll be annoyed by the out-of-the-box deficits relative to VS Code and IntelliJ's stuff and so on. That's fine. The goal is to gradually sample the platform.

To a much lesser extent, only if you're interested in sampling yet another possibility for text-editing interfaces, you might want to try learning its out-of-the-box keybindings for text editing, but... look, personally I think the out-of-the-box experience is at best bad-relative-to-what-you-already-know. I tried it a few times and for me, vi-style modal access to cursor movements and edit operations is a far bigger win than Emacs-style modifier-key access to the same.

You will see mentions of swapping Ctrl and Alt, because that's the layout on the old computers that Emacs' defaults were designed for. You'll also hear people suggest rebinding CapsLock to Ctrl. Honestly I think this is a lower-value detour, presupposing that Emacs as an editor out-of-the-box is worth learning, if only you could just optimize it a little to not give yourself RSI. But if you're going to do that, I suggest also trying Sticky Keys. Maybe it's just me, but I find Emacs' constant modifier key demands far more ergonomic if I can latch or lock modifiers as-needed.

Eventually, once you learn Emacs-as-a-platform enough, you'll start to see that all the little lisp functions and "modes" do a better job of being small composable pieces that do one thing well than UNIX CLI programs. Once you're sufficiently fluent in Emacs-as-a-platform, you'll find it easier to implement the behavior you want in Emacs than in the shell, or in your favorite editor.

And then, only then, will it have been worth it to have learned Emacs. Because then you can build your editor in Emacs. If nothing else, there's a critical mass where it becomes easier to incrementally improve your favorite editor by emulating it in Emacs first. And someone else has probably already done most or all of that work. And then you can keep incrementally improving on it, converging on an editor that's personally optimized to you - a bespoke tailored tool for exactly your mind.

Or that's the idea anyway. I'm not at the end of that journey, I'm just forecasting where it leads. After years of on/off poking at Emacs in various forms, I'm finally fluent enough that I'm incrementally creating something better than my favorite editor (and shell, and window-managing workflow) within Emacs. Not for the sake of doing anything with Emacs, but just because it feels faster and easier within Emacs now than outside of it. I don't know where this lurch ends. Every other lurch into Emacs ended with disappointment, with just enough inefficiency or annoyances that I just gave up on it. This is the first one that felt like it could end with me switching to Emacs as my main thing, but it's still entirely possible that this too will run out of steam.

And that's fine, that's the whole point I'm getting at. Every time I've jumped into Emacs, I made some sort of progress. And then I jump back out and run for a while with a terminal, shell, vi, and various CLIs as my daily tools, because I have to get stuff done after all. Sometimes I did some mix of both - I have memories of using Spacemacs to edit and a separate terminal with a shell for git.
