Duke Thomas when he learned the darker moments of Bruce including the "Test" he performed on Tim, everything with post revival Jason, and a few bits and pieces for Dick. So he is sticking up for his buddies/brothers.

Duke (on comms during a mission): When I see you stand by Selina, I believe you see two bad bitches. I believe you don't like women, it's real competition, you might pop ass with 'em.

Batman (confused): What?

Duke (rapping): Let's speak on percentage, show me your splits, I'll make sure I double back with you. You were signed to a trigga that's signed to a trigga that said he was signed to that trigga.

Jason and Dick listening in are too stunned to speak.

Barbara (eating cheese puffs while working, impressed): Nice switch up there.

Batman (sad dad voice): I just wanted to know why you were giving me the silent treatment. Please stop.

Duke (rapping with ease while decking a goon in the face): Put your eldest son through hurtles, you're a douche bag. Throwing a weapon at your second son's neck that's a jackass move and putting the third to a test, that's hoe shit-

Batman (enraged, gritted teeth): You are not doing this! Stop it right now!

Duke continued to play the villain as the Dark Knight confronted him, the entire exchange echoing through the Batmobile's speakers.

Duke (interrupting while rapping, enjoying this): Hoe, what? You ain't like that call out? Bat to bat, I'll call out the ego knight. Imma get back to that, for the record. Now why would I call you out at this moment? Y'all think I'd let that slide? Nah, but you got a son to raise, but I can see you don't know nothin' 'bout that-

Batman (hearing an echo from his batmobile): You're on a speaker system?!

Duke: Tell him to pray, know nothin' 'bout that. And givin' him tools to walk through life like day-by-day, know nothin' 'bout that. Teachin' him morals, integrity, discipline, listen, man, you don't know nothin' 'bout that. Speakin' the truth and consider what God's considerin', you don't know nothin' 'bout that-

Batman (shouting, startling the villains in front of him): ALRIGHT, I GET IT!

Poison Ivy (in the background, pouting): Aww, come on, it was just getting good!

Batman: You shut the hell up, Pam! Signal, we will talk about this later!

Jason (laughing): Nah, he’s not finished yet.

Dick (sounding corny, bless his heart): Let him cook!

Batman: Who told him?!

Tim (amused): We may have… told him some stories about you while his arm was healing.

Duke: Yeah, and it’s a good thing little Robin isn’t on patrol tonight. I was holding this in, but I didn’t want the kid around. I respect you, Batman, but sometimes you’re trash at parenting! You trash! You trash!

Batman (offended): Stop calling me trash! This is oddly hurtful!

Riddler: A dumpster fire fit's you more.

Ivy (dryly): Rat-infested garbage barge.

Mad Hatter: Trash island!

Batman: Oh, would you all shut the hell up!

Dick covered his mouth, smiling but also shocked. Jason was laughing. Tim smiled while patrolling with Duke.

Duke: I’m tired, B! I'm tired! What did these intelligent, handsome, confident men do to you? That test alone was foul! You are—

Villains: Trash!

Batman (clenched jaw as he spoke): What can I give you to make this embarrassment end?

Duke: I can see you’re a changed man, but you owe your sons, and me—an apology. Namely, a trip to New York Comic Con all expenses paid... and you buy me a cosplay for an anime of my choice.

Poison Ivy: Good start, but go higher!

Jason: Get us all cars!

Batman (mumbling): Am I in hell?

Barbara: Sorry to chime in, but I’d like a trip to Hawaii with a date.

Dick: No fair! I said Star and I were going to Hawaii!

Batman: I said I was sorry, why must you remind me of this and demand bribes! I already pay all of you and I am not a bad bitch! I’m Batman!

Barbara (joining in): Bitch Man!

Batman: He’s only acting like this because I said Castlevania is dumb! Which it is! That’s just my personal opinion!

Mad Hatter and Riddler disagreed, but Batman threw a dull batarang at both of them to shut them up.

Tim: Batman... you sent him a PowerPoint on why it’s bad.

Ivy (crossing her arms): I bet you hate Kendrick too.

Ivy ducked as Batman tossed a small pebble at her.

Duke (shouting, enraged): Castlevania isn’t a stupid anime just because you didn’t understand Dracula as a character! Keep talking and ooo, I’ll start with Not Like Us! Don’t test me, I’m operating on two hours of sleep!

Stephanie (laughing): Bitch Man's gonna need Aloe Vera for those burns!

Batman: Okay, laugh it up! When I'm back home, all of you are on punishment! Oracle cut the feed from my car speakers and I don’t dislike Kendrick! I have great taste in music!

Batman cut off his communication device and Barbara disconnected the bluetooth connection Duke set up when Bruce wasn't aware he put that in his car. Ivy walked over to the Dark Knight with a smirk, making the hero groan annoyed.

Batman (gruff, wanting a break for the night): I already thanked you for helping me.

Ivy (enjoying the strife and chaos): You did, but this little call out towards you was much more satisfying. At least you’re not a terrible dad like mine.

Batman: I’ll take that as a compliment, weed.

Ivy (smugly): Whatever helps your verbal beat down, douche canoe.

hello there! welcome to another blog for the nerdy manifesters who want to feed their logical minds. full disclaimer, these answers are solely based on the research I've done, and if you'd like to do your own research, you should! you are the creator of your assumptions and reality, after all. I will never stop encouraging others to find their own answers. while I was writing this, I had no idea someone had already talked about muscle testing on Tumblr, so, please do check out their post too!

what is muscle testing?

according to my holistic therapy, muscle testing is, "[...] a method of gathering accurate biofeedback on the body’s Physiological and Psychological state by stimulating the muscular system. The body’s cells know their entire history and what they require to regain full health. Muscle Testing is an elegant way to retrieve the knowledge imbedded into the cellular memory of the muscular system." ^1 when muscle tests are performed correctly, it allows the one being tested to have a direct conversation with the subconscious mind, aka the machine that controls the entirety of our body.

how does muscle testing work?

"Our bodies interact and move through the world by contracting and releasing muscles. A Tester will illicit either a contraction or release of certain muscles by applying gentle pressure to the muscular system. This testing unlocks the vast knowledge muscle cells by utilizing the binary contraction-release language of the body.

This simple, yet powerful process, is the first step of energy therapy, and it provides an accurate assessment tool of the client’s condition. This is a major part of Integrated Physical Emotional Clearing (IPEC) Therapy."^2

To better simplify what this means, everything that 'works' has energy flowing through it. You, me, your pets, the plants, and beyond. When doing a simple muscle test, you consciously may have a thought, or ask a question perhaps, and when the muscle test is performed, the subconscious will control your muscles in a way that gives an indication of 'yes', 'no', 'like', 'dislike' through a strong/firm or a weak/struggling muscle response that involves the muscles locking in place or stress causing weakness in the muscles. Energy therapy involves changing beliefs at the subconscious level with the use of energy, there are various energy therapy treatments, however, the one that I know about in a deeper sense is PSYCH-K. Again, I recommend you go and do some research of your own!

why would I muscle test myself or others?

muscle testing is just another application of holistic health, and there have been studies on how it can aid in decision-making, figuring out allergies, as well as what foods your body does and doesn't like. along with that, you are also able to test your subconscious' view on certain things that you are conscious of. bruce h. lipton details in his book 'the biology of belief' that DNA expression is not, "predetermined or unchangeable. Instead, the book details how DNA is influenced by signals emanating from outside the cell. The strongest energetic signals that cells receive are our thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes."^3 which is how we're able to manifest drastic appearance changes with our thoughts, feelings, etc, as well as completely eradicate health issues, pain, and other things of that nature with the use of our thoughts, beliefs, feelings, experiences, etc. the medicine you take for your colds is literally just energy, consider that.

how can I muscle test myself accurately?

there are various tests you can do. there are dozens YouTube instructional videos that can lead you in the right direction! however, my personal favorite is the sway test, which i will discuss a little further down. it takes trust in yourself, however, other people can muscle test you if you'd like a solid proof answer. even so, here are a few videos you can watch to better familiarize yourself with. please be advised, there are various ways to muscle test, I highly recommend that you do all of them and figure out which one feels right for you, your body will know.

also, whoever you're testing or if you're being tested, your chin must be parallel to the floor while your eyes are looking downwards for the most accurate testing while your arm is being pushed down. the position of your eyes allows you to fully engage your subconscious without worrying about your conscious getting in the way of accurately testing others or yourself, it's been believed to assist in dissociation.

what are some benefits to muscle testing?

since muscle testing is apart of energy therapy, energy therapy has the ability to benefit all areas of life, including, but not limited to— relationships, family, individual growth, and overall well-being whether that be physical, mentally, or emotionally. if you find yourself struggling with certain thoughts or beliefs, muscle testing allows you to have a conversation with your 'higher self' aka your subconscious.

how does muscle testing correlate to manifestation?

when you perform muscle testing on yourself or others, you're able to connect with your 'higher self' aka your subconscious which uses about 95% of your brain on a daily basis, it knows when a lie is being said as well as the truth. after you've established what 'yes' and 'no' is according to your subconscious by making statements you already know the answer to (Examples: [My name is [insert your name]. I have [color] hair. My name is [fake name that's not yours] I have [insert wrong color hair]), you can then ask anything you want. You can also make statements and see if your subconscious agrees with you or not, that will then allow you to take the necessary steps you need/want in order to become your best self.

how can I do the sway test?

stand up with no distractions (no TV, no music, no outside conversation), feet should be shoulder width apart and planted flat on the floor. or if you are unable to stand, just sit up as straight as you can manage. then, lift your chin up so that it's parallel to the floor, facing forward, and focus your eyes down on the floor. once you're done with that, state "my name is [insert name]", notice which way you lean naturally, make sure you're relaxed, this'll be your 'yes/like/true'. you can do this a couple times to make sure. and then you state "my name is [fake name]," notice which way you lean naturally, this'll be your 'no/dislike/false.' once you've established that, you can ask questions, make statements, and anything else you want, you can even test supplements by holding them in your hand as well as holding certain foods. your body may lean forward, backwards, sideways, etc, it's all based on the individual. please be advised that at any point in time you can retest from your yes/no answers by making the statements above, as many times as you want, just to make sure your yes/no answers are the same. I would recommend that you do this after every question you ask, just to give yourself the satisfaction. but again!! do what feels right and what makes you feel that you're getting the most accurate answers.

what are some ways I can muscle test myself without fear of my tests being inaccurate?

practice whatever test you feel most comfortable with, or have someone else test you if you're unable to fully trust yourself. personally, I find that the sway test is easiest. you can also use a pendulum as a muscle test if you'd like, whatever suits you as the individual is what you should go with.

how can I use muscle testing to heal my limiting beliefs, trauma, and other detrimental things that have been holding me back?

muscle testing gives you a deeper insight on the beliefs currently settling in your unconscious/subconscious mind. truthfully, you'll find out things you probably would have never expected to be there in the first place, hidden away somewhere. who better knows you better than you?

is it an absolute necessity to muscle test myself when trying to create new assumptions/testing whether or not my beliefs have changed on a subconscious level?

nope, not at all! this is essentially the same thing as getting your palm read, your aura read, having a tarot reading, and other things of that nature. It's up to you on whether or not you want to try this out or if you think it'll work in your favor.

how can I use muscle testing and psych-k simultaneously to benefit myself to the max?

in my previous post I provided the instructions on how to do psych-k, and if you fully watch the video you will notice that the demonstration involves muscle testing before and after the psych-k treatment. you can do the muscle testing on yourself with various methods, and then you can figure out how your subconscious stands on your conscious belief/affirmation. if the subconscious likes the affirmation or views it as true, then you're golden. however, if it sees it as false, then the next step would be to ask your subconscious 'Is it safe and appropriate for [name] to balance for this goal?' If the answer is yes, then proceed, if the answer is no, you may have some underlying issues that need to be addressed before that. It's very rare for the subconscious to say 'no,' however.

after receiving a 'yes', you will then ask 'are all systems ready and willing for a balance of this goal?' once you've gotten your answer, you will go on to do PSYCH-K.

after performing the necessary steps to implement this affirmation/goal/ etc into your mind, you may do another muscle test and see where you stand.

what are some questions or affirmations/afformations, and belief statements I could use to muscle test?

I am a master at manifesting.

I can manifest anything I want right in this moment.

I am ready and willing for change.

My desires are already mine.

I am intelligent and capable.

and if you struggle to come up with your own affirmations or questions, check out this video and see if it'll help you!

notes

personally, I've only learned about muscle testing and psych-k within the last three days, and I've already had results. before I started doing this to myself, I did it to my brother and ma (they're my guinea pigs 🧍) and they both experienced some weird tingling sensations in their brains after looping a single affirmation. I decided to do the same for myself, but with self muscle testing. my manifestations are coming in faster than ever just because my subconscious now believes I'm a master manifester. plus, I used it to change another belief I had and I actually started crying like a lil' bitch. 🧍and I'll be honest, yesterday I muscle tested myself and asked 'can I enter the void right now?' and my subconscious said yes. so, there was an attempt on my end where I used the lullaby method, lulling myself to sleep with just the words 'I Am', and when I went to sleep, I didn't enter the void, but I had a dream. I can't entail what the exact details were specifically bc it's personal but it was about my family members who've hurt me in the past, with lots of rage and anger. and when I woke up, an affirmation immediately popped up in my head 'I forgive those who have hurt me and I'm ready to move on.' bruh. this isn't what I consciously wanted, but obviously my subconscious thinks I need to work on this matter before I can ascend and so, I'm gonna trust myself.

gotta be honest, I've read other people's posts where they have had their 'eureka!' 'aha!' moments and their little epiphanies... thought they were all completely bullshit and I was a hater, but gods-- that shit's real, and now I gotta make a change within myself, and it's time for you to do the same.

The Schmiss – The Alpha Male’s Mark of Honour

A scar is not a flaw—it is a badge of honor, a mark of experience, and a declaration of resilience. For the Alpha male, the Schmiss—a visible scar, often on the face—is a symbol of his dominance, strength, and unflinching character. It is not merely the result of a wound; it is a deliberate statement, a testament to the Alpha’s mastery over pain, his superiority over the weak, and his ability to rise above challenges with unrelenting force.

This essay explores the historical significance, the symbolic power, and the modern relevance of the Schmiss as an unmistakable hallmark of the Alpha male.

The Historical Legacy of the Schmiss

The Schmiss has its roots in the traditions of elite fraternities and military aristocracy, where dueling was a rite of passage and a test of courage. In German student fraternities, the Mensur duel was not fought to harm but to mark—a scar on the face was seen as a token of bravery and discipline, an unshakable commitment to honor.

The Schmiss in History:

1. Medieval Knights: Scars were symbols of valor earned in battle, a physical manifestation of their role as warriors and protectors of their domain.

2. German Fraternities: In the 19th century, scars from dueling (Schmisse) were celebrated as marks of elite status, discipline, and unyielding character.

3. Military Leaders: Generals and officers often bore scars as a testament to their command on the battlefield and their ability to endure.

The Schmiss was not a blemish—it was a badge, worn with pride and reverence, a signal to the world that this man had faced trials and emerged stronger.

The Schmiss as a Modern Symbol

In the modern era, the Schmiss remains a potent symbol of Alpha dominance. It is not about vanity but about command—an unspoken declaration of power, a mark that sets the Alpha apart from the masses.

The Power of the Schmiss:

1. Physical Presence: A scar draws attention, commanding respect and signaling the Alpha’s readiness to confront and conquer.

2. Testament to Resilience: It is a reminder of the Alpha’s ability to endure pain, overcome obstacles, and emerge unbroken.

3. Symbol of Discipline: The Schmiss is not a random mark; it is precise, intentional, and aligned with the Alpha’s image of perfection.

For the Alpha, the Schmiss is not a weakness—it is a weapon, a tool of psychological domination that intimidates, inspires, and reinforces his superiority.

The Alpha’s Perspective on the Schmiss

To the Alpha, the Schmiss is not merely an accident or a byproduct of conflict—it is a deliberate choice, a calculated enhancement of his persona. It is the physical manifestation of his mastery over himself and his environment.

The Alpha’s Relationship with the Schmiss:

1. Strategic Placement: The scar is positioned to amplify the Alpha’s commanding features, such as a cheekbone or jawline, adding an edge of severity to his presence.

2. Maintenance and Presentation: The Schmiss is not left untended—it is cared for, ensuring it becomes an integral part of the Alpha’s image of perfection.

3. Storytelling: The Schmiss is a narrative in itself, a tale of challenges faced and victories claimed, shared selectively to reinforce the Alpha’s authority.

The Schmiss is not a flaw; it is an enhancement, a mark of distinction that elevates the Alpha above all others.

The Psychological Impact of the Schmiss

The sight of a Schmiss has a profound psychological effect on those who encounter the Alpha. It is a visible reminder of his strength, his endurance, and his capacity for calculated violence when necessary.

The Effects of the Schmiss:

1. Intimidation: The scar commands respect and deters opposition, its presence a silent warning of the Alpha’s readiness to act.

2. Admiration: To those who aspire to follow the Alpha, the Schmiss is a symbol of the standards they must strive to achieve.

3. Enforcement of Hierarchy: The scar reinforces the Alpha’s position at the top of the hierarchy, its presence a mark of his supremacy.

The Schmarr is not just a scar—it is a declaration, a proclamation of the Alpha’s unassailable dominance.

Sir Cedric’s Reflections

“My Schmiss is not a wound; it is a mark of honor, a scar that reflects the battles I have fought and the discipline I have mastered. It is not hidden, for it is not a blemish—it is a symbol of my strength, my resolve, and my unyielding authority.

When they look at me, they see the scar and know they are in the presence of a man who does not flinch, does not falter, and does not fail. My Schmiss is not a reminder of pain; it is a reminder of my power.

I ask you this: What marks do you bear? What scars tell your story? If you have none, what does that say of you? For the Alpha, the Schmiss is not an option—it is a necessity, a mark that declares to the world: I have endured, I have conquered, and I am unstoppable.”

The Schmiss: The Alpha’s Unmistakable Mark

The Schmiss is not a scar—it is a statement, a mark of dominance, discipline, and resilience that defines the Alpha male. It is a symbol that transcends time, reflecting the Alpha’s mastery over himself and his environment. Through the Schmiss, the Alpha does not merely exist—he commands, he conquers, and he leaves an indelible mark on all who dare to stand before him.

Adea will thank you to remember that this is her pathetic wet cat, thank you very much. Who among us has not seen a man have a seizure from eating a weird bug he found on the ground, and decided to marry him on the spot? Sometimes you just see a tiny insane philosophy professor in a sweater vest who would die if you didn't protect him, and nature takes over! He's scrunkly, okay? Shut up!

It once again falls to her to save her husband from the results of a sudden fit of gap moe, but she came prepared. She's got those DEVELOPER TOOLS, which, if she understands correctly, are like a technology thing that will tell you what's wrong with someone.

She pokes him with the needle, and...

Error: global entity index not found. No source record was retrieved. Deferring to local entity registry lookup. Error: floating process ID found for local entity "Walter Rehoots", but integrity checksum for "Walter Rehoots" failed. Access to insecure resource blocked. Examine insecure data with "oldtroopsleeve 'Walter Rehoots' --unsafe --pretty-print-source".

What the hell? What does any of that mean? Is this thing broken, or is something more wrong with him than she thought?

...She tests it on herself, and gets the exact same error message, except with her own name. Okay. Uh. Examine insecure data with... what, is it this button? Now she's seeing... just a load of incomprehensible computer nonsense. There's some stuff that's legible, though...

So, you're both "local entities", and have IDs for your names, but there's something called a checksum that isn't working. Maybe you need to get your checksums fixed? Do they make a cream for that?

There's a warning about "excessive data duplication" and "insecure defaults" that doesn't make much sense.

Okay, here's something- an age timestamp. He's... 45?! No, wait, what the- he was 30, last you checked. And- what the hell, you're 43?! No no no no no. That's not true. This thing's broken.

You've got these weird little labels on you with a flower icon next to them- you're labeled "ROBUST LONERS" and he's labeled "SORROW TO LEGS", which doesn't tell you much. Is he catatonic because his legs are sad???

There's a thing in your data called an ARCADE COOKING KIT, which apparently expired a few hours ago. Says here it denied over a thousand requests because they were from the wrong domain. Does this have anything to do with where you woke up?

Walter is "COAL-IMBUED" and you're "ACIDIC PIRATE", which is weird because he's always been big on green energy, and Talk Like A Pirate Day was yesterday.

You... don't find anything useful vis-a-vis snapping him out of this weird signal stabilizer fugue he put himself in, though. He seems... fine, except for all the mysterious crap that's not fine that you can't make heads or tails of. This thing is useless!

Walter interrupts to remind you that she's dead, she's dead, it's all pointless- and you flick him in the head. She's not dead, you tell him- and he says he saw it, saw her corpse being dragged away. You flick him in the head again and ask how and when he saw it, and whether he's sure he wasn't just seeing things.

This gets him quiet, but the kind of quiet where he's thinking. That philosophy brain, asking nerd questions like "why do I believe what I believe".

Both of you, actually, have been very obviously hallucinating a lot of crazy shit this entire time. Like, constantly. Just because he saw his DEAD DAUGHTER doesn't mean she's dead- maybe he was just thinking about how he TRUDGED AHEAD or whatever. You can't give up just because you had a mysterious vision. You are both objectively crazy people right now. It makes no sense to abandon all hope before you've had the chance to, like, get to a hospital and get medical care!

Walter sits there thinking for a couple solid minutes, which you let him do, and then he gets to his feet and wordlessly hugs you tight.

Alright. Okay. What now?

Why are headlights so expensive for cars?

The high cost of modern car headlights is driven by a convergence of advanced technology, complex design, stringent regulations, and market factors. Here's a breakdown of the key reasons:

​​Advanced Technology & Complexity:​​

​​LED/Laser/Matrix Systems:​​ Modern headlights use multi-element LED arrays, adaptive projectors, laser elements (on high-end models), or matrix/pixel technology that individually dims segments of the beam. This requires sophisticated control units, sensors, and wiring.

​​Adaptive Functionality:​​ Features like auto-leveling, cornering beams, glare-free high beams, and dynamic light projections require motors, cameras, complex software, and extra wiring harnesses.

​​Integrated Components:​​ Headlights now house DRLs (Daytime Running Lights), turn signals, position lights, and often front-facing sensors (radar/camera for ADAS) all in one sealed unit, driving up complexity.

​​Precision Engineering & Materials:​​

​​Optical Precision:​​ Lenses and reflectors are molded with extreme precision to meet strict beam pattern regulations and avoid glare. Molds for these optics are incredibly expensive to design and manufacture.

​​Materials:​​ High-performance polycarbonate lenses resist yellowing and cracking, while complex aluminum or magnesium heat sinks efficiently dissipate heat from powerful LEDs/Lasers. Seals must be perfect to prevent moisture and corrosion. Internal reflectors use specialized coatings.

​​Durability Requirements:​​ Headlights must withstand extreme temperatures, UV radiation, road debris impacts, vibrations, and chemical exposure (car washes, road salt) for the vehicle's lifespan. This requires high-grade materials and construction.

​​Regulation & Testing Overhead:​​

​​Global Standards:​​ Headlights must comply with strict global regulations (SAE, ECE, etc.) regarding beam pattern, intensity, cutoff sharpness, and aiming. Developing, testing, and certifying each headlight design for different markets adds significant cost.

​​Complex Testing:​​ Extensive lab and road testing is required to ensure compliance, durability, and performance in all conditions, adding R&D costs.

​​Design and Manufacturing Integration:​​

​​Styling Demands:​​ Headlights are critical styling elements. Aggressive shapes, intricate lighting signatures ("light jewelry"), and seamless integration with body panels require complex, unique housings for each model.

​​Custom Manufacturing:​​ Headlights are model-specific (often even trim-level specific). Low-volume production runs compared to simple bulbs mean costs aren't spread over millions of identical units. Assembly involves delicate electronics and precise calibration.

​​Module Design:​​ Modern headlights are typically sold as sealed assemblies ("modules"). If anything fails inside (LED chip, driver, ballast, motor, wiring), you often have to replace the entire 800+ unit, not a 10 bulb.

​​Supply Chain & Market Factors:​​

​​OEM vs. Aftermarket:​​ Dealers charge high prices for genuine OEM parts, covering their overhead and profit margins. While quality aftermarket options exist (often significantly cheaper), OE parts command a premium.

​​Insurance Influence:​​ Since insurance often pays for replacements after collisions (which frequently damage headlights), manufacturers have less pressure to minimize headlight costs compared to components owners pay for directly.

​​Low Price Elasticity:​​ Headlights are essential safety items. Consumers need them to drive legally and safely, reducing the incentive for manufacturers/dealers to compete heavily on price for replacements.

​​Supplier Profit:​​ Tier-1 suppliers (like Valeo, Bosch, Magna, Koito) design and build these complex units and need to recoup their substantial R&D and tooling investments per unit sold to the automaker.

​​Labor Cost (Hidden):​​ Installation is often complex, requiring bumper/fender removal and sometimes electronic calibration/reprogramming. While the part cost is high, labor adds significantly to the total replacement expense perceived by the owner.

​​Comparison to Older Designs:​​

​​Simple Halogen Reflectors:​​ Used cheap bulbs (10-50), simple reflectors, and a basic lens. Easy to manufacture replaceable bulbs. Entire assembly replacement was relatively inexpensive (100-300).

​​HID Projectors:​​ Introduced cost via ballasts and specialized bulbs (50-150 per bulb), but the projectors and housings were less complex than modern LED units. Assemblies cost more than halogens but less than LEDs.

​​Modern LED/Adaptive Units:​​ Represent a quantum leap in technology, integration, and complexity, hence the price jump.

​​In essence:​​ You're paying for ​​high-tech electronics, extreme precision optics, complex software integration, advanced materials built for durability, significant R&D/testing/regulatory costs, custom low-volume manufacturing of a styling-critical safety component, and market dynamics where insurers often foot the bill.​​ It's a far cry from swapping out a simple bulb in a basic reflector housing.

BREAKING NEWS: Revolutionary AI Scheduling Model Disrupts Multi-Billion Dollar Industries

IndustriesMay 14, 2025 – In a groundbreaking development set to redefine time management across education, fitness, and the arts, researchers from the Zurich Institute of Technology (ZIT) have unveiled an artificial intelligence model capable of autonomously optimizing human schedules with an accuracy rate exceeding 98.7%.Dubbed "ChronoPilot," the new system leverages deep contextual learning to interpret not only user preferences but also emotional states, productivity trends, and even regional weather forecasts to dynamically tailor personal and group schedules. In early trials, the system outperformed existing scheduling platforms by over 400% in efficiency and conflict resolution.The implications span vast sectors. Educational institutions using class scheduling software like Lunacal’s platform for class bookings have already reported dramatic improvements in attendance and engagement. In the fitness industry, where applications such as gym booking software are crucial, ChronoPilot’s integration led to a 37% rise in client retention during a 90-day pilot. Music academies leveraging music lesson scheduling tools observed a 52% reduction in missed appointments.ZIT’s Secret Weapon: Sentient Sync ProtocolWhat truly sets ChronoPilot apart is its proprietary Sentient Sync Protocol (SSP) — a neural time-mapping engine that mimics human anticipation. SSP doesn’t just block out time; it predicts the best time for each task based on thousands of variables, including circadian rhythms, cognitive load history, and even micro-fluctuations in vocal tone during user interactions.Dr. Lena Marwick, lead AI architect at ZIT, explained, “We’re no longer asking users to fit into rigid schedules. ChronoPilot adapts to them, moment by moment.”Global Trials, Unprecedented ResultsThe AI was tested across 1.2 million scheduling interactions in 11 countries, across five major time zones. In one compelling instance, a public school in Osaka integrated ChronoPilot into its digital classroom system. Within three weeks, student punctuality improved by 48%, and feedback indicated a 63% increase in perceived classroom coherence.Meanwhile, a UK-based national gym chain used ChronoPilot to coordinate personal training sessions across 87 locations. Instructors reported a 41% decrease in downtime, and an average boost of 18% in customer satisfaction scores.ChronoPilot vs. The Old GuardWhile current scheduling tools rely heavily on manual input or rigid templates, ChronoPilot learns from passive inputs — browsing behavior, sleep app data, voice command history — with the user’s consent. This passive data synergy allows it to preemptively adjust schedules without user intervention.Analysts say the AI’s capabilities pose an existential threat to legacy scheduling systems and even to calendar giants like Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. “It’s not just a calendar anymore,” says Gideon Lark, senior analyst at MetaMetrics. “It’s a lifestyle orchestrator.”Privacy Concerns and Ethical DebateNot everyone is celebrating. Digital rights watchdogs have raised concerns about the volume and sensitivity of data ChronoPilot processes. The AI can access everything from location logs to biometric signals. While ZIT asserts the system uses end-to-end encryption and offers opt-out data controls, some critics remain wary."We’re trading convenience for surveillance,” warns Aria Salim, director of the Tech Privacy Initiative. “There must be enforceable limits on how such AI models evolve, especially as they begin to predict and possibly influence human behavior.”ZIT has responded by publishing a white paper detailing its privacy protocols and inviting third-party audits. Still, the debate over AI autonomy and human agency continues to intensify.

Best Practices for Implementing Cloaking

Cloaking is a technique that, when used responsibly, can serve as a powerful tool in the digital marketer’s toolkit. Often misunderstood, cloaking allows content to be shown selectively to users or platforms based on specific parameters such as IP address, device type, or geographic location. It’s widely used in A/B testing, compliance management, and campaign optimization — especially in competitive niches.

Here are a few best practices to ensure your cloaking strategy is both effective and sustainable:

1. Define Your Goals Clearly

Before implementing cloaking, determine whether your goal is to protect landing pages, filter unwanted traffic, or optimize for conversion rates. Having a clear objective ensures that you deploy the right cloaking rules and avoid unnecessary complexity.

2. Segment Traffic Smartly

Use reliable signals like geolocation, device type, or user-agent to segment traffic. Avoid outdated or overly broad filters, which may lead to inconsistencies or penalties.

3. Stay Compliant with Platform Policies

Even though cloaking is a gray area, make sure your usage aligns with the policies of the platforms you’re advertising on — or at least doesn’t raise unnecessary red flags. Staying subtle and consistent with how content is served helps reduce risk.

4. Use a Trusted Cloaking Solution

The effectiveness of cloaking often depends on the reliability of the tool being used. A robust cloaking engine can help you dodge bots, avoid fake clicks, and maintain a high-quality visitor funnel. Learn more here.

5. Test and Monitor Regularly

Algorithms evolve, and what works today might need adjustment tomorrow. Keep testing your cloaking parameters and monitor your campaigns for any anomalies or performance dips.

When used with intent and intelligence, cloaking can elevate performance without compromising integrity. Like any advanced technique, the key lies in smart execution and constant optimization.

So while working through game concepts and deciding what to work on next, I've been refreshing my Godot skills. Wanting to get back into 3D and prepare for doing more narrative heavy games. Made this demo to learn nathanhoad's excellent Dialogue Manager addon and also test drive Kenney's new Godot platformer kit.

I'm really, really enjoying Dialogue Manager so far and feel it has a tonne of potential. Think it covers a lot of things I've been looking for:

Direct engine integration is super useful, as well as using custom resources to store dialogue. They're also text files so can still use external editor to update

Straightforward syntax, reminds me a lot of ink and yarn. As well it's named node approach feels familiar

Able to access global game variables for conditionals, and having conditional based loops and choices is very straightforward

Also able to call methods directly within dialogue, which is super powerful when combined with signals (showing/hiding coin UI mid conversation, playing sound effect)

Lots of options for random dialogue choices - just used the single line ones for now but in docs have seen they also have option for setting custom probabilities, just ncie to add more flavour

Hyped it has a built in approach for translations (create IDs and reference CSVs) that looks like integrates with Godot's localisation tools - a bit of a future thought but glad it has stuff to help built in

Docs you can mention you can create dialogue resources at runtime. Can imagine this being very useful - an example would be creating a record of all lines seen to replicate Ren-py's "log" feature.

The methods for displaying dialogue are super flexible. At the moment just used their example balloons but looks like it should play nicely to let you build custom GUI - and maybe even multiple forms (e.g. dialogue scenes vs flavour barks in main game world). Think next experiments will focus on this.

There's a few more things I'm keen to learn and see if they're feasible with this - "disabled" choices that still appear but can't be accessed would be nice, also looking at how you can integrate this with an audio system for voice acting - I think they have an example that includes voice acting?

Only thing I'm a bit nervous of is it looks like it can only grab variables from autoload/global scripts, so when putting into actual game will need to take care with save systems and methods for loading choice variables into a choice master global so we aren't keeping too much in memory at once. But if I'm wrong on this assumption, or others have approaches, more than happy to be corrected on this!

Also really enjoying Kenney's 3D platformer kit and it's been fun and . Making the shopkeeper bot was super simple. All the details on the original character model are modelled so just adjusted the face and for changing colours just had to move UV islands for limbs and face to different parts of the pallete textures.

Haven't tried this technique for modelling and texturing before but seen it crop up a few times so will definitely experiment with this in the future. Also might help with optimization - I think most of the materials in the pack refer to this single image texture? By default the pack only has the model glbs and a single colormap png so assuming that's how it's working.

Original plan was to fill in the shop with another pack so there's a few little platform challenges within this, but they all needed collisions adding so might add that in future. But main aim was focusing on the dialogue and think we've got a good approch going forward, and highly recommend the add on for other Godot devs making narrative games!

Mastering Circuit Board Design: The Backbone of Modern Electronics

In the ever-evolving world of electronics, Circuit Board Design plays a critical role in shaping the functionality and performance of devices we rely on daily—from smartphones and laptops to IoT devices and automotive systems. As the demand for compact, efficient, and high-performance electronics grows, so does the importance of well-executed circuit board design.

🧠 What is Circuit Board Design?

Circuit Board Design, also known as PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design, is the process of creating the layout of electrical circuits that connect components such as resistors, capacitors, and microchips on a non-conductive board. The objective is to ensure optimal performance, durability, and manufacturability of the electronic device.

🔍 Key Steps in Circuit Board Design

Schematic Capture The first step is designing a schematic—a symbolic representation of the electronic circuit. This blueprint outlines how each component connects and interacts.

Component Placement Components are placed on the board considering signal integrity, heat management, and physical constraints.
