hi anon so funny thing it did not occur to me that you meant office au as in the show the office until I turned on the tv earlier today and it was there lmao. but anyway here is 1.3k words of dnfies working for a company that supplies textbooks to high schools lmao

[12:14] 🐈‍⬛: Dream

[12:16] 🐈‍⬛: Hellooooooooo

[12:16] 🐈‍⬛: This is so messed up why are you ignoring me

[12:19] 🐈‍⬛: Dreeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaam

[12:21] 🐈‍⬛: Stop ignoring me, idiot

[12:25] 🐈‍⬛: I’m so bored. I haven’t had to do anything all day. This is so boring.

[12:27] 🐈‍⬛: And now you won’t even text me back. You hate me. 

[12:31] 🐈‍⬛: You should come talk to me so I don’t die of boredom. 

[12:34] 🐈‍⬛: This is me because of you

[12:34] 🐈‍⬛: Ignore the caption

[12:37] 🐈‍⬛: I’m going to start texting Foolish instead of you. I’ll find his number in my computer.

[12:38] 🐈‍⬛: I’m doing it. I’m going to do it. I’m going to find his number and text him asking if he can show me his muscles

-

“Thank you, Ms. French; I’ll make sure that gets worked out for you. Have a good day.” Dream hung up his phone, posture immediately worsening as he screwed his eyes shut, trying to force down the headache that had been brewing since about the third question about the difference in price between the fourth and fifth editions of the biology textbook some forgettable high school in Vermont was attempting to purchase before the new school year began. 

Dream was pretty good at his job, mostly because he was pretty good with the people. He thought he had a good voice, one that made him good at dealing with people over the phone because it prepped them to like him by that alone. He was a bit more awkward in person, yeah – a bit too tall, not quite sure what to do with his arms or his feet – but clients were already endeared to him enough that at that point his slight awkwardness just ended up being charming. That wasn’t the point though; the point was that he was ordinarily really good at phone sales, customer service, that sort of thing. This particular call had just been a bit exhausting. He had barely even passed his own high school biology class; he definitely did not know which text book was the better option even though he had to at least sound like he did. 

Dream glanced over across the office, over to the desk up by the door. His vantage point, unfortunately, wasn’t that great these days. His boss had gotten it into his head that some change of scenery would make everyone more productive as they got deeper into the hot months of summer and, as a result, Dream had traded his desk conveniently within eyeshot of the front desk for one much farther away, and all he could see over, of all things, the fucking broken printer was a little bit of curly dark hair that drifted back and forth in a way that made it obvious that its owner was rocking back and forth in the swivel chair. 

Dream wasn’t quite sure that this rearranging was having the effect on productivity his boss had desired. He reached into his pocket, and he slid out his phone.

His lock screen was covered in a long chain of texts, all coming from a contact saved simply as a familiar emoji. Dream scrolled through them, automatically smiling as his stomach buzzed with strawberries and oranges. Apparently, he was not the only person struggling to focus.

[12:47] me: get better bait. you would text foolish telling him to die before you asked to see him shirtless.

[12:47] me: besides, you’d never do that to tina

Dream went to flip his phone over, not wanting to risk someone noticing that he was off task, but immediately, his phone buzzed with a response. 

[12:48] 🐈‍⬛: What are you doing?

[12:48] me: i was on the phone. 

[12:49] me: lunch?

This time, he didn’t bother putting his phone down, just watched the three little dots indicating someone typing on the other side of their conversation. He realized quickly that he was holding his breath, and he forced himself to let the lingering air leave his lungs. Don’t be stupid. 

When the text came, it was much shorter than the time spent typing it would have implied. Dream could imagine him going back and forth and back and forth, fingers freezing on the same anxiety that both worried and excited Dream. 

[12:50] 🐈‍⬛: Yes

Dream got up from his desk, heading to the break room to get his lunch. Once the door fell shut behind him, cutting off the low buzz of the lights and computers and air conditioning of the main office with a tight thud, he went to the fridge and pulled out the container of sliced up mango and half a sandwich in a baggie. A green sticky note with a smiley face adorned both of them, identifying them as his. He was in the middle of trying to crack the seal on the lid of his drink when he heard the door swing again and quickly felt arms encircle his waist.

“You’re so, like, needy, today,” he said without turning around. “What’s wrong?” Half teasing. Half so sincere that it made both of them squirm a little bit. Dream had always been good at that – caring about people. Especially certain ones. 

“Nothing.” George – the receptionist, the cute British guy in the office, the most important person in Dream’s phone – pressed his face against the back of Dream’s shirt, muffling his voice. “I’m bored. You were ignoring me.” 

Dream scoffed. He set his lunch down on the counter and turned around to face George. George was looking up at him, lips pressed together like he was trying and failing to keep himself from smiling. Failing, both because George wasn’t particularly good at hiding his happiness and because Dream could read his emotions from a single movement of his rich dark eyes. “I wasn’t ignoring you. I was working. I spent, like, half an hour stuck on the phone talking about biology textbooks.”

“Wow, poor Dream,” George teased, reaching to open the fridge and find his own lunch – left over chicken nuggets, apparently, as well as a plastic bag filled with apple slices – before settling across from Dream at the table. “Forced to spend all day on the phone, while I’m dying at my desk.” 

A bite of his sandwich. “Dying? Of what?” 

“Boredom and neglect,” George said, sounding extremely put upon. “It’s so messed up that you’re letting your stupid job get in the way of our relationship. Just so that you can, like, have money or whatever.” 

“I can’t believe you’d let Patches go hungry like that.” Dream reached over to steal a sip of George’s peach ice tea, and George just grinned at him before sighing. 

“I guess that’s a good enough reason.” They were both quiet for a few seconds, ankles brushing under the table as George chewed on his apple slices and Dream picked at his mango with a plastic fork from home. It was comfortable, or at least as comfortable as lunch at a tiny breakroom table that was so short that Dream banged his knees against it every time he sat down could be.  It was, arguably, one of the least remarkable days of Dream’s life. Tomorrow, he would put back on his scratchy work clothes and the shoes that pinched his toes, make a million more phone calls to talk about textbooks he couldn’t care less about, and eat another dry sandwich in the shitty breakroom. The same mundanity that he had found, despite the big dreams that he had had growing up, to be his life these days. And, just like he eventually did today, before they threw out their trash and tried to leave the breakroom far enough apart to make it inconspicuous, George would ask if he could come over after work, and everything would feel a little bit more special.

MY NOTES: First of all, with only twelve Targeting Pods for 20 Aircraft, that means that not all Aircraft will have them, only slightly over half will be equipped with them. This seems to indicate that the Pods will be operated through a "Buddy System", meaning one Pod will be shared by two Aircraft.

As for the Sidewinder Missiles, at only 40 for 20 Aircraft, that means each Aircraft can be allocated only two Sidewinders if evenly distributed. At 112 AMRAAM Missiles though, that means around five to six Missiles can be allocated evenly for the twenty Aircraft.

The US is only selling us the "C" Versions of their AMRAAMs, though, perhaps they don't trust us as much as an "Ally" to sell us their latest "D" Version of the Missile. No other Missiles are included in the Package, but there are a lot of Guided Bombs, there are several dozen of them, and at least two Types. Lots of unguided Bombs, over a hundred for two Types

Remember that back in 2021, during the Administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte, the US also made an offer of the same Aircraft. Compared to that, this one is more than twice as expensive, but only less than twice the Aircraft.

However, there are almost five times more AMRAAM Missiles, and around twenty times more unguided Bombs, which is the Reason for the big increase in Price of the Aircraft. Anyway, it remains to be seen if the Philippines will, indeed sign the Contract for this Aircraft

This AI startup is very popular! Nvidia also appears on the investor list

Tickmill Group

According to people familiar with the matter, U.S. data analysis and artificial intelligence software manufacturer Databricks has conducted a new round of financing worth more than $500 million. The company's current valuation has reached $43 billion.

Databricks’ last round of financing was in August 2021, raising US$1.6 billion, with a post-financing valuation of US$38 billion. Today, the company’s valuation has increased by $5 billion, proving that behind the general trend of slowing financing, not all startups’ valuations are slowing down.

The latest round of funding makes Databricks the eighth most valuable private company in the world, according to Crunchbase.

Who are the investors?

Judging from the list of investors participating in this financing, this round of financing is both pre-IPO financing and strategic investment.

Among many investors, companies such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, and Franklin Templeton usually invest in companies that are expected to go public sooner or later.

In addition, Nvidia and Capital One’s venture capital arm also appeared as investors.

The connection between Nvidia and Databricks is not hard to find. Nvidia's chips and software benefit from demand for artificial intelligence, and Databricks is leveraging Nvidia's capabilities in AI computing to build out its sales of data and machine learning software.

It is worth mentioning that Nvidia is currently a customer of Databricks competitor Snowflake. It is unclear whether this investment means that Nvidia will turn around.

Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi said in an interview that the company is "very excited" to expand its partnership with Nvidia and "double down on generative artificial intelligence."

In addition, other more traditional private market investors also participated in the round, including Andreessen Horowitz and Tiger Global.

Tickmill

Will Databricks go public?

Databricks says it has more than 10,000 customers worldwide, with more than 300 of its customers currently generating annual revenue of $1 million or more for its software and services.

In its fiscal second quarter, which ended July 31, the company said it achieved its "strongest quarterly revenue growth" in the company's history and is on track to surpass the $1.5 billion annual revenue mark, with sales set to A year-on-year increase of 50%.

That's enough for investors to bet that Databricks will be valued at more than $43 billion when it goes public. However, the company's valuation is approximately 29 times its effective earnings, making it a bit expensive in the current market.

Databricks doesn't seem to be rushing to a public offering, but a potential IPO is still on the company's development roadmap. The company plans to grow a little more revenue before trying to defend its latest valuation in the public markets, which also means an IPO could come later.

Market participants believe that Databricks actually has a lot of cash, and perhaps the new round of financing also gives it more room to take other strategic initiatives.

In July this year, Databricks acquired MosaicML for $1.3 billion. MosaicML is a startup that provides software to efficiently run large language models and output natural text.

Singapore Air Force receives first batch of modernized F-16 fighters

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 02/2122 - 08:18 in Military

The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) received the first batch of Lockheed Martin F-16 Viper Block 60 fighters.

Air Force Chief General Kelvin Khong gave this update on the RSAF fighter fleet in an interview written on Monday (February 14) before the Singapore Airshow, which took place last week.

RSAF's F-16 fleet is being updated in phases, with the first aircraft being delivered at the end of 2021. Subsequent deliveries will be implemented gradually to ensure that the RSAF continues to have a strong fleet of fighter aircraft capable of meeting defense needs, according to information from RSAF chief Major General Kelvin Khong.

The process of updating RSAF's fleet of 60 F-16C/D fighters began in 2015, which will take all jets to the Block 60 standard.

The fighters will be equipped with a new radar with electronic scanning antenna (EFSA) coupled to a new mission computer and an architecture equipped with data fusion. This modernization should allow better preparation and interaction with 5th generation devices.

The U.S. Department of State approved the sale of Northrop Grumman's SABR (Scalabre Agile Beam Radar) Electronic Antenna Radar (AESA). This radar leverages the reputation of the range of radars of type APG-77(V)1 of the F-22 Raptor and APG-81 of the F-35. SABR made its debut in an F-16 in November 2009. The cockpit and electronic warfare systems have also been updated with the addition of an additional new screen, improving the perception of battlespace.

Along with electronic updates, Singapore's F-16s are equipped with the following weapons: GBU-38 "Joint Direct Attack Munition" bombs, GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb, CBU-105 Sensor Fuzed Weapon and GBU-49/50 Enhanced Paveway II dual-mode guided bombs. AIM-120C7 AMRAAM and AIM-9X missiles will complete the weaponry in air-to-air mode.

The F-16 entered service in 1998 and will face obsolescence beyond 2030.

“We will continue to operate these fighters for at least another decade and are working to replace the F-16s at the end of their operational life,” the head of the air force added.

Singapore is also expected to receive the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter around 2026. The Ministry of Defense announced in 2019 the acquisition of four B models of the F-35, which will be deployed in the American continent for training and evaluation. The total number of F-35Bs has not yet been disclosed.

Maj. Gen. Khong said: “We have rigorous evaluation processes in place and closely monitor the developments of the F-35. We will ensure that the F-35B meet our requirements before inducing them to operations."

Singapore will become the first F-35 operator in Southeast Asia and the fourth in Asia-Pacific, after Australia, Japan and South Korea. It will also become the first air force in Southeast Asia equipped with a stealth aircraft.

The F-15SG fighter remains the backbone of the FSR and should also receive updates soon.

The F-15SG multifunctional fighter, meanwhile, remains a crucial component of the RSAF fighter fleet in the next generation, said the head of the air force. The first F-15SG was delivered in 2009.

He added that the air force will continue to assess the need for an update to ensure the relevance and operational effectiveness of the F-15SG.

Top 5 Best Intake Systems for the Toyota Tundra

The Toyota Tundra has mastered the familiar motto of “work hard, play hard.” Built in the heart of truck country (San Antonio, Texas), the Tundra can handle everything from a tedious daily commute to long road trips and trail adventures. Led by its available 5.7-liter i-FORCE V8 engine that has a towing capacity of up to 10,200 pounds and a max payload of 1,730 pounds, Toyota’s full-size pickup truck is ready and able to tackle anything that comes its way. The standard 4.6-liter i-Force V8 has an output of 310 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 327 pound-feet of peak torque at 3,400 rpm. The popular 5.7-liter version delivers 381 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 401 pound-feet of peak torque at 3,600 rpm.

If you are looking to amp up those numbers a bit without breaking the bank, upgrading the stock air intake system may be on your radar. Swapping out your truck’s stock restrictive air intake system will help your Tundra breathe in more air at cooler temperatures to have it running even better. Aside from improved airflow, you will also experience power gains, an enhanced soundtrack, and added underhood styling to boot. For the price point, you certainly cannot beat it and it’s no wonder why so many enthusiasts look to the aftermarket for a new air intake system as one of their first mods. 

We have compiled the following list of the top 5 best intake systems for your Tundra to help you along.

2. K&N Performance Cold Air Intake System

K&N’s Series 77 Cold Air Intake Systems eliminates air path restriction from the stock system by replacing the air filter and entire path to the engine with a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) roto-molded intake tube. The aerodynamically engineered intake tube drives a larger volume of air into your Tundra’s engine to deliver enhanced performance in addition to horsepower and torque gains. Each system is paired with a washable, reusable high-flow air filter featuring oiled cotton media. The oversized conical filter is composed of red cotton gauze media that captures more dirt and lets drivers go up to 100,000 miles between filter maintenance under normal highway driving conditions. What’s more, a custom heat shield or airbox is incorporated to help protect your vehicle’s air intake from the high temperatures of the engine bay.

Be it on the streets or the trails, the K&N Performance Cold Air Intake will deliver a boost in your truck’s overall power figures, while also providing better throttle response, added underhood styling, and an attractive sound to go along with it. Crafted from the highest-quality materials for ultimate longevity, you can count on K&N to offer a system that is meant to last. Mandrel-bent tubing allows for less restrictive airflow so your Tundra can breathe better and perform to its potential. With a solid aluminum intake tube, this CAI is able to withstand extreme underhood conditions without failing or breaking. This system offers a full bolt-on installation so you can easily and directly mount this cold air intake onto your vehicle’s factory mounting points in place of the restrictive factory one.
