Don't you know- Peter Parker

A/n: Nah 'cause that fucking happened to me last week and i HAD TO write about it (Ofc with very different context and description). Btw, i listened to "Don't you know" by James Young while writing it, in case someone likes to listen to music while reading

Warnings: Swearing and smut

Summary: Peter and Y/n get stuck on traffic, but that doesn't mean that it have to be boring...

Don’t forget to share, like, comment and leave your ideas here

Bellah’s Masterlist 🪻

"Shut up" Y/n exclaims, smiling at her boyfriend.

"I told you May, would get me one," Peter comments, crossing his arms and looking sideways at the girl next to him, who seems to be enchanted by the small black car the boy had gotten for his eighteenth birthday.

"It's so cute! I love it." The girl laughs, walking a few steps forward and leaning her weight on the open window, so that she can see the details of the car her boyfriend had won.

"Say goodbye to meters and borrowed cars. Now I'm a new man." Peter walked to the front door, opened it and sat down in the driver's seat. His body slouches forward, reaching out and pulling the door open so that his girlfriend can get into the car too. "And I'm going to take my dear lady for a ride in this little beauty here" The brunette put both hands on the steering wheel.

May had always been a hard-working woman, and supporting her nephew when the boy's parents died had become a kind of livelihood so that she could have the energy to work. Due to financial difficulties, Peter didn't have anything above his aunt's budget, but after a promotion, she had finally managed to scrape together enough to give her nephew a car. Stark had also helped with some of the finances and to make the car more powerful than it already was, so it was a gift from both of them to the hero.

Y/n put on her seatbelt, pulling one of its sides until she could feel the pressure against her body. The girl slipped one of her free hands over Peter's hand, which was on the automatic gearshift, allowing him to give it to her after shifting into gear and continuing his journey. Late evening in New York was slowly falling, as the orange light from the buildings reflected off the crowded streets during rush hour. A few bars and restaurants were starting to open, and Peter had his plan to take his girlfriend out for a bite to eat and then park their conversations in an empty parking lot so that they could also get some alone time. The girl took off her two shoes, crossed her legs covered by jeans, and opened Spotify on her transparent cell phone with a Polaroid photo of the two of them.

"Can I put on a song?" The girl asks.

"Sure, love." Peter updates the car's multimedia while his girlfriend searches for something to listen to. 

"So, tell me. Who chose the car? Did you know you'd win?" The girl rests her hands on her lap.

"May had commented that one day she would give me everything I asked for, but it was never something I cared much about. She got a promotion at the hospital, and consequently her salary increased. Ever since I turned 16, she was raking it in." Peter comments without taking his eyes off the street.

"So you're going to be my private driver?" Y/n asked jokingly, causing the brunette to check his eyes in response.

"As far as I know, you have a driver's license." The hero laughs.

"Why would I drive if now you can take me wherever I want? I thought that was the definition of a passanger princess." The girl put her hand to her chest in an attempt to express surprise.

"Oh yes! Of course." Peter laughs.

(...)

"I'm literally going to explode," Peter says, opening the restaurant door so that his girlfriend can get out first. 

"Tell me about it." The girl says, putting her hand on her stomach and then looking at the time on her cell phone. "Fuck, we've got to get going. My parents will kill me if I'm late on a weekday."

"I thought they'd take it easy on you after eighteen." Peter takes the car key out of his pocket.

"They trust me, but still, we live in New York and they're worried." The girl shrugged, unable to contradict her parents.

"I'll take care of you, kitten. You're safe from the dangers of the night when you walk with me." Peter says proudly, causing a low chuckle from his girlfriend who was walking with her arms crossed.

"Of course! Let's pull you out of the superhero closet and tell my parents that I'm dating a guy who could have an accident at any moment in a fight with evil, technological villains." Y/n opens the car door, then sits down again.

"I think it's a great idea. We can let them know that you'll be moving in with me when I pass MIT, and we'll live in a house in the country with two kids and a dog." Peter comments, closing the car door and continuing his journey.

The white lights of the streets, together with the moon, gave the teenagers an unreal feeling. That feeling that the world isn't real, and their existence is just another speck in the middle of several grains of sand on a beach called the universe. The car drove slowly, on purpose, as Peter didn't want his girlfriend to leave. A slow song was playing on Y/n's Bluetooth, which responded to the music by diverting its eyes from the multimedia system implanted in the center of the car's dashboard. 

Peter laughed out loud when he read the name of the playlist the song was part of

"Really? Sexy guilty pleasure? That's the name of your sex playlist?" Peter makes fun of his girlfriend, who stares at him while holding in her laughter.

"In my defense, I started it when I was 16 and I haven't changed it because I find the name comical." The girl smiles as she says it, remembering when she had started exploring the literary universe of hot scenes in books that seemed innocent.

"Your sex life is comical, Y/n." Peter laughs, but then realizes what he's just said, and also jokes about himself without realizing it.

Y/n laughs out loud

"You're terrible at insults." The girl nods, looking at the passing streets like a drawing blurred by the speed of the car.

"Why haven't I ever heard that playlist?" The brunette lowered his eyes again to the name of the playlist playing in his car.

"I use it from time to time to read, or even when I... well... you know." Peter feels the blush rising to his cheeks.

His sex life with Y/n was almost restricted, and could even be considered for those over 14 if they were to classify it. Peter and Y/n hadn't had sex yet, let alone talked about it openly since their time together was considerably short. Even when they were friends, the subject of sex had never come up, unless they were in a circle of older friends and both were drunk. But even in this state, it seemed like a great sin to talk about sex. 

"Really?" Peter swallows dryly, stopping at a red light and running both hands down his dark-wash jeans.  "And what's that like?"

Y/n sucks in a breath when she hears her boyfriend's question. Their eyes meet, then dart away again in an attempt to make the conversation as awkward as possible. Y/n never had a problem talking about sex, but when it came to Peter, even his presence made her nervous.

"When I..." The girl tries to finish the sentence, really being precise in asking if he was asking about what she does in the long hours alone at night while Peter is asleep.

The boy can hear his girlfriend's heartbeat increasing and her throat swallowing. 

"That's it." He cuts her off.

The light turns green, and the blaring horn of a car cuts through the tension created between the two. Peter turns his eyes to the busy streets, while Y/n searches for confidence in herself. 

She looks at him out of the corner of her eye.

Gray shirt clinging to her toned muscles

Tight pants drawing her ass in perfectly

Puffed-out chest

Perfectly wavy hair

Her legs cross over each other, shrinking her body.

“Holy fuck” Peter thinks when he saw his girlfriend crossing her legs 

"It's nice. I like listening to music and closing my eyes, because I seem to get lost in time and sensation." The girl says, still silently watching hers boyfriend's reaction. "I like being without anything on my body. Just the cold sheets because of the air conditioning I turn on, so I don't sweat so much."

Peter pressed the steering wheel against his hands

"And what do you think about?" The boy asks as if his words were sailing over brittle ice.

Y/n takes a deep breath, turning half her torso towards her boyfriend.

What was she thinking?

Perhaps the times her parents went out on business, and the couple found themselves on the sofa taking off only their blouses. Or when she first felt Peter hard while she was on his lap kissing him

When he came out of the shower with just a towel tied around his waist, and his hair dripping with cold water. 

When he used his index finger to touch her chin, and pull her into a kiss

Those same fingers that could touch you so deeply that your legs would collapse without the strength to stand up, and he would pick you up to use you once again as whatever he wanted you to be. Only he could make you feel so wet that you didn't want his touch so close for fear of losing the track.

"You"

Peter feels his cock against the factory of his underpants.

"Tell me about what." His voice comes out sultry, as if for a few seconds, he had put his shame aside. "I want to hear you, love," the brunette asked, taking one of his hands off the gearshift and slowly reaching for Y/n's hand, which was resting on his thigh with the cell phone.

Peter had never acted or spoken like that, but he couldn't deny to himself that he wanted more. He always wanted more, not even if he had to imagine tasting his girlfriend's sweetness. His cock was throbbing against his pants, and he could feel it twitching inside them, while his breathing made a point of being nervous. Feeling Y/n on his fingers, wrinkling them with the groove of his cum, or even thinking about the sensation of his walls meeting his cock, made him lose his shame in seconds. 

When he thought about it, it was something extremely out of touch with reality, but everything he wanted to do, fortunately the initiative had to come from him. Hearing from his own girlfriend that she masturbated thinking about what he was doing was like raising the hackles of a king

The car seemed to get smaller and smaller, and not even the wind in the air could stop them both wanting to take off their clothes. The leather seat seemed to cling to their sweaty skins, searching for something to hold them inside the car. For Y/n, she couldn't describe whether the situation was good or bad, as her sexual experiences had not been very positive during her teenage years.

"I think of your touch. That time we kissed, and I could feel you brushing past my thigh and slowly trying to find my clit." The girl adjusted her posture in the chair, letting her legs relax as well as her posture.

Peter, for his part, could feel everything she was feeling. His powers allowed him to see that she was getting more and more comfortable in the seat because her hard-on was increasing with every double entendre word that was directed at her, and it was a very interesting game to play in the car during a post-work commute in New York. The cars moved slowly, and even if the clock asked them to go faster, they didn't want to. 

"Did you like it?" One of Peter's fingers slid down, tracing a straight line between the upper part of Y/n's thigh.

"Uh-huh." The girl commented, seeing that her hand had now lost the warmth of his touch, so that her body could feel it. 

"Me too." Peter comments, allowing his whole hand to touch Y/n's thigh, squeezing it briefly as a silent sign of confirmation that everything was okay. Then, his middle finger traced a line down the middle of her legs, causing a low moan to escape Y/n's mouth, who, still embarrassed, allowed her legs to spread further apart. The hero's cock was begging to be touched, but this wasn't the first time he'd thought of doing it. His plan had always been to let things happen naturally, but he was also smart enough to know that now with a car, he had more freedom.

"Peter." Y/n's hand finds his fist. "And if anyone sees. There are traffic cameras that can...

"The windows are tinted." Parker comments, looking directly at his girlfriend's breasts which were becoming more and more exposed against her clingy blouse. " Are you okay?"

"Please." Y/n begs in a sly request, drawing a naughty smile from the brunette. 

His index finger fingered his girlfriend's wet spot against the factory of her pants, putting pressure on the girl who relaxed her body against the seat. With one hand on the steering wheel and the other between his girlfriend's legs, Peter grunts to himself.

"Fuck, Y/n. You... you have no idea how much I've wanted to touch you for months." Peter confesses, biting his lip as he feels the girl roll against his fingers and lay her head back on the bench. 

"You have?" The girl gasps.

"We've never been able to spend much time alone, and I've always refused to do anything because... fuck... I can't want to fuck you," Parker confesses, trying to balance the car, his hard-on and his girlfriend at the same time.

Y/n feels her feet fall from the stereotypical virgin pedestal she has built for herself. Peter had never been a saint, and as hard as it was to believe because of his cute face and lack of girl-talking skills, he was still a male teenager who had desires and wishes repressed by shame. 

"Peter." Y/n groans lowly, gripping the hero's wrist tightly as he manages to find her weak spot.

A satisfied smile came from his lips as he began to make circular movements, causing the girl to moan a little louder. Y/n lowered her eyes to the pants that suddenly seemed to be tighter than usual on hers boyfriend. His decency as a person had gone, and all she could think about was tasting him and making him feel so good that he spoke his name out loud without caring if anyone heard.

"Yes. Speak my name, Y/n." The brunette asked, continuing his movements, but increasing the speed.

The friction was intense, and it would have been easy for her to finish right where she started, but her sense of justice and pity tried to speak louder.

"I wanted to touch you." Y/n exposed, staring shamelessly at the bulge in Peter's pants. 

"You talk so innocently as if you didn't want me to be fucking you with my fingers on this very bench." Peter lets out a sarcastic laugh, denying it to himself, and casting a longing glance at him.

Y/n's walls contract as he speaks, as if his body had a will of its own and felt empty when he had nothing to satisfy his carnal desires. 

"I can hear your heart racing, darling." Peter takes his hand off the wheel for a moment, squeezing his hard cock as a form of relief.

Removing the hand that was between his girlfriend's legs, he adjusts the rearview mirror and looks both ways down the avenue. 

"Why did you stop?" The girl straightens her posture in concern.

"I need you now."

"What?" Y/n swallows dryly.

"I want to have sex with you now. Do you?" Parker asks angrily.

Without thinking, Y/n replies:

"I want to" 

"Okay." The boy shifts into gear so that he can change lanes and find another road that leads further away. In a moment of anxiety, the car dies. "Fuck!" Peter curses, drawing a nervous smile from his girlfriend.

"Let's get out of here, Parker. I'm dying to get a taste of you."

Panther

The Panther is one of the BattleMechs that is most iconic of the Draconis Combine. The design was originally commissioned in 2739 at the behest of the Star League to provide fire support for other light, fast-moving 'Mech units, with the first models going to the Star League Defense Force to fight bandits along the Periphery border. The original PNT-8Z model underwent a revision after the disastrous Battle of St. John in 2759, when it was revealed that its main weapon, a Tronel large laser, was inefficient in both range and firepower for the immense waste heat generated. Luckily the Panther had also proved itself to be both quite hardy, sporting six and a half tons of armor, and maneuverable, thanks to four Lexington Lifter jump jets in the legs for a total jumping distance of 120 meters, thus an attempt to fix its one deficiency was made by League engineers by replacing the laser with a Lord's Light PPC. The swap in weaponry, along with a superior armor composite, gave the PNT-9R Panther a new lease on life, such that it has seen over three centuries of continuous use since its introduction.

The Draconis Combine inherited Alshain Weapons' Panther factory on New Oslo when the Star League dissolved and quickly put the production line to work building new Panthers for the DCMS. Their first large-scale use by Kurita warriors came during the First Succession War in the battle for Quentin, when the Second Legion of Vega used their Panthers to severely maul the slower, heavier 'Mechs of the Forty-second Avalon Hussars while avoiding return fire. Throughout the Succession Wars, the Combine was the only significant user of the Panther, often pairing it with the Jenner in a deadly combination of speed and firepower; though the other Successor States employed Panthers in smaller numbers, these were either the result of battlefield salvage or older League-era 8Z models. The Panther also proved itself a deadly urban combatant, using its mobility to easily navigate the more restricted space of a city environment and take out heavier opponents from rooftop sniping perches with its main weapon. Lyran MechWarriors eventually took to nicknaming the 'Mech the "Alley Cat" for its propensity to conduct dark alley-way "muggings."

Demand for the Panther continued to increase, forcing Alshain to build a secondary factory on Jarett to keep up. In an ironic twist both factories were eventually lost: New Oslo first transferred ownership to the Free Rasalhague Republic following its creation in 3034, ensuring the Panther soon became a mainstay of the KungsArmé. Then during the invasion of the Clans, both Alshain and New Oslo were swiftly conquered by Clan Ghost Bear and another Free Rasalhague Republic Panther plant on Satalice was also lost to Clan Wolf. While Alshain Weapons crash-built a new line on Tok Do in 3053, they could not maintain their pre-Invasion production levels and focused on spare parts and refit kits instead. Eventually Wakazashi Enterprises bought the production license for the Panther and began rolling out new variants from its New Samarkand factory. These have gone on to serve in every DCMS unit since, including the bloody years of the Jihad.

The Panther's primary weapon is a Lord's Light PPC mounted in the right arm, boasting one of the highest damage outputs of any weapon. Unfortunately the PPC is also one of the most heat intensive, though many officers see it as a good learning opportunity for raw recruits to spend their first years piloting the Panther and gain experience managing its heat curve with thirteen single heat sinks. The PPC is backed up by a reliable Telos Four-Shot SRM-4 launcher mounted in the center torso, supplied by one ton of ammunition in the left torso. This mix of long and short-range weapons allows the Panther to stay at range and inflict damage on its enemies and close in and use the SRM-4 to make the killing blow.

✧˖*°࿐aura reading technology

the scientific infrastructure supports magic classification, safety, and research.

modern societies with widespread magic have developed advanced systems to study, regulate, and interpret aura phenomena. aura-reading technology is not just for identification — it's vital for combat training, job placement, civilian safety, and national security.

*ೃ༄spectral analyzers

“The soul under a microscope.”

ꪆৎ 𓂃 › these devices isolate and identify aura wavelengths, translating visible or invisible magical emissions into a precise color-tone signature. ꪆৎ 𓂃 › they operate similarly to full-body scanners or advanced MRIs, using manadetection lenses, ley resonance chambers, or crystal refraction beds. ꪆৎ 𓂃 › spectral analyzers are capable of reading even dual, tri, or shifting auras by separating tone overlays using multidimensional spectrum mapping. ꪆৎ 𓂃 › advanced versions are portable (used in field operations), while institutional models are building-sized and used for research or high-level diagnostics. ꪆৎ 𓂃 › some elite military models can even detect hidden aura traits, such as latent affinities or suppressed trauma-based mutations.

*ೃ༄power meters

“Your wattage, your weapon.”

ꪆৎ 𓂃 › measure a magic user’s raw mana output in Standardized Power Units (SPU), which combine raw aura density, spell amplification rate, and burst capacity. ꪆৎ 𓂃 › readings are divided into resting power, surge power, and drain thresholds (the point at which magic use becomes dangerous to health). ꪆৎ 𓂃 › power meters are used in everything from combat simulations to spell license tests, and job qualification boards. ꪆৎ 𓂃 › some models are worn like bracelets or rings and update in real-time for field operatives — especially those with fluctuating or trauma-triggered power spikes. ꪆৎ 𓂃 › red zone readings (SPU thresholds exceeding the legal maximum) are automatically flagged in certain jurisdictions, especially near urban ley conduits.

*ೃ༄control assessors

“How steady is your hand?”

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ these stations test magical finesse, response time, and multitarget accuracy using virtual or physical challenges. 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ think magical “driving tests”: users must perform spells within specific parameters, like conjuring a flame within a 5 cm radius without burning a dummy. დ࿐ ‎˗ˋ includes tasks such as: ꪆৎ 𓂃 › threadweaving: threading a spell through moving rings. ꪆৎ 𓂃 › spell dissection: safely dismantling a layered enchantment. ꪆৎ 𓂃 › simulated crisis response: cast multiple spells under time pressure without collateral damage. 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ users receive a control class rating (1–7) after passing or failing various difficulty tiers. 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ some tests are environment-specific (underwater, high-stress, low-mana zones), simulating real combat or unstable fieldwork.

*ೃ༄stability monitors

“The difference between control and collapse.”

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ constantly assess whether a magic user’s aura is stable or experiencing fluctuations, interference, or degradation. 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ used in hospitals, training facilities, and urban centers with heavy mana saturation to prevent magical breakdowns or mass surges. დ࿐ ‎˗ˋ indicators include: ꪆৎ 𓂃 › mana drift: uncontrolled leakage of aura into the environment. ꪆৎ 𓂃 › spell corruption: spells twist mid-cast due to emotional or mental instability. ꪆৎ 𓂃 › overcast markers: dangerously high mana buildup. 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ worn in patches, chest straps, or neural clips. readings flash yellow (unstable), orange (critical), or red (collapse imminent). 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ especially important for young aura users, those with trauma-affected tones, or S-Class individuals who risk devastating outbursts.

✧˖*°࿐legal magical monitoring

the framework that balances personal freedom, national safety, and ethical boundaries in a magic-using world.

as magic became widespread and powerful, governments developed international and regional laws to register, track, and regulate aura users. this was partly for security — and partly due to the devastating history of magic-related disasters.

*ೃ༄registration requirements

“Your name. Your aura. Your responsibility.”

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ all individuals with detectable aura activity must register by age 18 with their local Magical Affairs Office (MAO) or its equivalent. დ࿐ ‎˗ˋ registration includes: ꪆৎ 𓂃 › aura color and tone ꪆৎ 𓂃 › power and control class ꪆৎ 𓂃 › spell affinities ꪆৎ 𓂃 › health risk ratings 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ refusal to register is considered a class III infraction and can result in suppression order mandates, travel restrictions, or even forced tagging. 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ some nations have voluntary pre-18 programs, where prodigies (especially A-Class+ candidates) are fast-tracked into protected training zones.

*ೃ༄power ratings

“You are more than your number — but your number still matters.”

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ all registered aura users receive an official Power Rating ID, required for employment, training, or casting within populated zones. დ࿐ ‎˗ˋ this rating includes: ꪆৎ 𓂃 › classification (e.g., B4 – Inferno Power, Skilled Control) ꪆৎ 𓂃 › special endorsements (healing license, combat license, ritualist permit) ꪆৎ 𓂃 › restrictions (e.g., banned from casting in schools, cannot cast during full moons) 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ used by employers, guilds, security firms, and public transport hubs to determine magical risk and access levels. 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ updated every 2–5 years, or after major incidents/changes (trauma, mutation, skill upgrade).

*ೃ༄monitoring devices

“Magical privacy ends where public safety begins.”

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ devices that track aura emissions, spellcasting frequency, and location-based surges in high-risk areas (airports, courts, leyline hubs). 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ usually passive — detect, log, and store information without interrupting. 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ some facilities require mandatory suppressor tags or casting inhibitors for A-S class individuals or those with unstable readings. 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ misuse of magical energy in monitored zones leads to auto-alerts sent to Magical Enforcement Units. დ࿐ ‎˗ˋ technology is constantly evolving to distinguish between: ꪆৎ 𓂃 › intentional casting ꪆৎ 𓂃 › emotional surges ꪆৎ 𓂃 › residual aura bleed ꪆৎ 𓂃 › external possession or corruption

*ೃ༄suppression fields

“Magic stops here.”

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ areas saturated with aura-dampening energy that reduces or nullifies magic. 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ can be natural (leyline dead zones) or artificial (generated via runic engines, sound-frequency disruptors, or ancient sigils). დ࿐ ‎˗ˋ found in: ꪆৎ 𓂃 › detention centers ꪆৎ 𓂃 › government buildings ꪆৎ 𓂃 › high-security academies ꪆৎ 𓂃 › hospitals treating mana-overload დ࿐ ‎˗ˋ not all suppression fields are equal: ꪆৎ 𓂃 › level 1: general dampening (reduces effectiveness by 50–60%) ꪆৎ 𓂃 › level 2: emergency shutdown (negates nearly all external spells) ꪆৎ 𓂃 › level 3: total nullification, including passive aura effects (dangerous for some users — can cause mana suffocation or backlash) 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ use of suppression fields on minors or civilians without consent is a hot legal issue, with many human rights groups protesting over potential abuse.

*ೃ༄social reactions & cultural influence

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ aura scanners are sometimes feared by rural or traditionalist communities who see them as dehumanizing or a sign of overreach.

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ black markets exist for aura scramblers, which temporarily block readings from scanners — often used by criminals or anti-registration rebels.

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ powerful figures with S-Class readings may be publicly known, heavily guarded, or politically untouchable — creating a mystique or fear around them.

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָꪆৎ some schools and religious orders teach non-digital aura reading, such as aura empathy, color-meditation, or song-based resonance testing.

[sakura-cat-nightmare]

I need to rant on here for a second bc WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH KOREAN KPOP FANS?!?!?!?! They are making such a big drama out of everything

First we have yoongis scooter thing

Where he drove an E-scooter, 500 meters while being drunk and then fell in front of his home while trung to get of the scooter (i dont exactly know how high his blood alcohol content was tbh bc some say it was around 0,02 other sources say it was 0,08 and i also saw one article saying it was 0,22)

I can absolutely understand that people are disappointed bc he is an idol and he should be a role model. i myself think he just shouldn't have done it at all if he didn't know for sure if it was allowed. Or he should at least have checked if driving an e scooter after drinking was allowed.

But he got his punishment by getting his license reworked (and he paid a fine) , which is absolutely fair bc he did something that was against the law. Also, he apologized 3 times (or was it 4 idk)

The thing is that now many K "Armys" want him to leave Bts...and that is something I can't understand. Like yes, he did something that was wrong, and that needs to be criticized, but in my opinion, that is no reason for him to leave the band. He didn't harm anyone, he got his punishment he He realized his mistake and apologized (3 TIMES) and now K Armys want to kick him out of the group ?!? SORRY but no.

....

And the other thing that makes me mad is RIIZE. Seunghan (a Member) went on a Hiatus bc private pics were leaked in wich u could see him smoking and kissing a girl. (Tbh making someone take a "break" bc of this is already stupid) but now he left RIIZE and K"Fans" are happy about it ?!?!?

WHAT THE HECK??? HE KISSED A GIRL AND SMOKED ... that's not a crime.

I really think that KFans and Kmedia need to take a step back and realize that their Idols are also just humans who make mistakes. [Obviously, i mean "mistakes" like these two. There is no discussion when it comes to r*pe, SA, and other things]

The other thing WHY are they focusing Yoongi and Seunghan but kinda ignoring the whole Taeil situation???? Like he did way way worse (s*x crime) than them, and still there is no one sending grave flowers to him... no no no send them to yoongi and seunghan

There also happened many other things where kmedia and fans just don't say anything or at least not like this [Hyuna ...]

I hope it was some how understandable what I was trying to say. English is not my native language and I'm kinda emotional about this topic.

In the end, I wanna say that I don't support drunk driving in any form and that i think u should definitely know your law or at least use common sense and just not do it. But I still don't see it as a reason for someone to leave their group. You can criticize him, be disappointed, and all but sending funeral flowers saying he should leave the group seems a bit so much.

Good morning. I contacted your company a few days ago regarding the warranty of one of your products, a Lancaster. To be more precise, I had some concerns that welding an apocalypse rail to it, like one of my soldiers suggested, would void the warranty, but you assured me that would not be the case. You also asked for an update should I proceed with the idea, and that is why I am messaging you this time.

Against my better judgement, I approved my subordinate’s idea. Due to the paracasual circumstances that I mentioned in my last post, the risk of loss of life was near to non-existent, so at worst I thought the explosion might be good for morale.

After moving a couple of clicks away from base, we booted up the Lancaster. It supported the massive weight of the apocalypse rail surprisingly well (to the dismay of some soldiers who had betted their rations against it). Afterwards, we placed a few Everests equipped with Whitewash Sealant Spray on standby, to deal with any fires.

And after all personnel (except for our pilot) was a safe distance away, I gave the all clear.

As predicted, the power draw of the gun was too much, and the reactor stressed very quickly. Most surprisingly however, it was that it didn’t have time to explode, it melted into slag almost immediately, and the apocalypse rail suffered the same fate. The heat released was strong enough than a couple of the units we had on standby reported stress damage on their reactors despite being quite a few meters away.

This is the part where I commend your products however. Even though the apocalypse rail melted into slag, the Lanny withstood the heat, and even though it was red hot for multiple hours after the test, we could find no structural damage during repairs.

Most peculiar of it all however, was what we found in the cockpit. Our brave pilot was cremated, as you might have expected (though I assure you he walked out of the base printer unharmed as usual), but his “Number 1 Mom friend” mug that came with his Lancaster license, which he had forgotten inside, was completely unharmed. I expected this level of quality from your frames of course, but I am very pleased with the care that goes to the little things.

On related news, you should receive a request for a shipment of mugs, lunchboxes, cutlery and other such items soon.

We’re so glad to hear that the test went that well! We design all of our products to endure all the rigors our spacefaring customers may ever encounter—from the bulk of a Lancaster down to our cutlery sets. No matter where in the galaxy you may roam, IPS-N will be there with you. When we call ourselves your friend in an unfriendly sea, it’s more than marketing talk—it’s a promise.

How Old Do You Have To Be To Scuba Dive

If you’ve ever asked yourself how old do you have to be to scuba dive, chances are you either have a curious young explorer at home or you’re just an adult trying to find out if your inner child still qualifies.

Either way, you’ve landed in the right deep end. Now, quick confession: the first time someone told me kids could scuba dive, I envisioned a toddler in a wetsuit with floaties trying to communicate underwater in baby shark language. But that’s not how it works. However, the actual answer might still surprise you.

How Old Do You Have to Be to Scuba Dive?

According to PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), children as young as 8 years old can begin scuba-related experiences like the Bubblemaker program. However, to earn an actual scuba certification, the minimum age to scuba dive is 10 years old.

From ages 10 to 14, they can earn a Junior Open Water Diver certification, which comes with depth and supervision restrictions. At age 15, those limitations are lifted, and the certification becomes a full Open Water Diver status.

Other certifying agencies, like SSI and NAUI, follow similar age requirements, though some countries or dive resorts might set stricter minimums for legal or safety reasons. In general, how old to scuba dive starts at 10 for actual training and 8 for bubble-blowing underwater fun.

Why Age Limits Exist in Scuba Diving

When talking about scuba certification age, it’s important to understand the logic behind these age rules. It's not about gatekeeping underwater treasure hunts from the youth, it's about safety, both physical and psychological.

Young divers need to:

Have the maturity to follow life-preserving instructions

Be able to equalize their ears effectively (especially under pressure)

Understand emergency procedures without panic

Handle basic dive physics, such as buoyancy and pressure

Experts like DAN (Divers Alert Network) support age minimums due to the complex decision-making and physical adaptation involved. A kid might crush video game boss levels, but diving with a regulator 30 feet underwater is a different kind of level-up.

Programs for Kids Under 10: Bubblemaker and Beyond

So, what if your child is younger than the minimum age to scuba dive? Good news, there’s still a way to let them dip their toes (and head) underwater.

PADI’s Bubblemaker program is designed for kids aged 8–9 years and takes place in shallow, pool-like water (max 2 meters/6 feet) under the close eye of a certified instructor.

This program teaches basic skills:

Breathing through a regulator

Communicating underwater

Managing gear (child-sized, of course)

It’s like scuba kindergarten with the coolest classroom ever.

Junior Open Water vs. Open Water Diver

The Junior Open Water certification is often misunderstood. Here's how it works:

Ages 10–11: Dive only with a PADI Pro or certified parent/guardian, max depth 12 meters (40 feet)

Ages 12–14: May dive with certified adults, max depth 18 meters (60 feet)

At age 15, this upgrades to a standard Open Water certification automatically – no additional test required. It’s not a second-class license; it’s a developmental stepping stone to becoming a full diver.

Is Scuba Diving Dangerous for Kids?

This is the question most parents whisper over the dive shop counter. And it’s fair. So, is scuba diving dangerous for kids? It can be, but with proper supervision, certified instruction, and age-appropriate programs, the risks drop significantly.

Things to consider:

Kids are more prone to ear barotrauma if they don’t equalize properly

Emotional maturity plays a massive role in underwater decision-making

Parents should consult a doctor if the child has asthma, ADHD, anxiety, or any chronic health condition

According to DAN, children who meet medical fitness criteria and are emotionally ready can scuba safely when trained appropriately. In fact, many diving families report that it builds resilience and focus in young divers.

Scuba Certification: How to Get Scuba Certified for Young and Adult Divers

If you're wondering how to get scuba certified, the general pathway is the same regardless of age (10+):

Enroll in a course (PADI, SSI, NAUI)

Complete online/classroom learning (dive theory)

Participate in confined water dives (usually a pool)

Pass open water dives (real underwater tests, usually 4)

That’s your standard Open Water course. If you're wondering how long does it take to get diving certified, the answer varies. Some complete it in 3–4 days, while others stretch it across a few weekends.

Courses for kids may take longer depending on their pace and maturity level. Flexibility is key. Parents are encouraged to join in the learning as it makes for great bonding.

Country-Specific Age Requirements: Know Before You Book

While PADI and SSI set global standards, local dive operators might raise the bar based on national law or conditions. For example:

Australia: Most shops require a minimum of 12 years old for certification

Mexico & Egypt: Follow PADI standards (10+), but may limit open water dives to certain areas

Thailand & Indonesia: Generally flexible but safety-conscious operators often screen kids carefully

Always check with the local dive center at your destination. If you're traveling, include a quick search for "scuba certification age in [country]" before booking anything.

Diving Gear for Kids: Do They Really Need Mini Fins?

Absolutely. You don’t want a 10-year-old swimming in flippers made for adult Shaquille O’Neal. Dive shops offer kid-sized scuba gear including:

Shorter fins

Smaller BCDs (buoyancy control devices)

Compact regulators

Lightweight tanks

If you're on a budget and wondering about expenses, here’s a quick promo for your wallet: how much does scuba diving gear cost? For a full kid’s set, expect around $300–$600, but many dive shops provide rentals. So unless your child is going full Aquaman, you can rent first.

When you're ready to buy, don't miss checking out the best scuba gear set that’s built specifically for young or small-framed divers and adults.

Can Kids Dive with Adults? Supervision Rules

Junior divers must dive with:

A certified adult (parent, guardian, or instructor)

And in age-appropriate conditions (no strong currents or deep wreck dives)

It's not a trust issue but a safety net. Young divers don’t have the problem-solving reflexes adults do. Dive instructors say the best experiences come when parents and kids dive together, adding another layer of supervision and shared joy.

Long-Term Path: From Junior to Pro Diver

Once your child starts early, they can build on their scuba journey. Here's a growth ladder:

Age 10+: Junior Open Water

Age 12+: Junior Advanced Open Water + Specialties (like night or wreck diving)

Age 15: Full Open Water → Rescue Diver → Dive Master

This progressive path builds confidence. Kids who start young often become expert divers by college, with potential for marine biology, conservation, or underwater photography.

And in case you're curious about how deep does scuba diving go, recreational divers are limited to 40 meters (130 feet), but Junior divers stay shallower until older.

Is There a Maximum Age for Scuba Diving?

Now that we’ve talked about the youngest divers, let’s flip the wetsuit and talk about the other end of the timeline: is there a maximum age for scuba diving? The short answer is no, there’s no official maximum age limit.

The longer answer? As long as you’re healthy, mobile, and capable of handling underwater conditions, you can dive well into your 70s, 80s, and even 90s.

In fact, some of the most seasoned divers are retirees who have swapped spreadsheets for coral reefs. Organizations like PADI and SSI don’t set a top age cap. What matters more than age is medical fitness and comfort underwater.

Key considerations for older divers:

Cardiovascular health: Diving increases heart workload. A stress test or cardiac clearance might be recommended if you're over 45.

Joint mobility: Can you carry a tank? Climb a boat ladder? Equalize without pain? If yes, you’re probably good to go.

Ear and sinus health: Age can affect pressure equalization, so sinus checks are a good idea.

Prescription meds: Some medications may conflict with diving (e.g., for blood pressure or vertigo), so always consult a dive-medicine-trained doctor.

Many dive centers offer customized programs for older adults, especially those getting back into diving after decades. These often include refresher courses and lighter gear options.

💡 Fun fact: In 2020, William Lambert, at 100 years old, became one of the world’s oldest certified scuba divers. His post-dive advice? “You’re never too old to explore.”

So, whether you’re 16 or 76, diving isn’t about the number on your passport – it’s about how well you can handle the underwater world. If your doctor says you’re fit, the ocean is still calling.

Comparing Scuba Diving vs Snorkeling for Kids

Parents often ask whether it’s better to start with snorkeling. So, here’s a quick breakdown:

Snorkeling is simpler, cheaper, and needs no certification

Scuba diving opens a whole new immersive world, but needs training

For kids under 10, snorkeling might be the starter path. But once they hit the right age, diving becomes the next-level adventure. If you're weighing it, here's a helpful piece: scuba diving vs snorkeling — both are fun, but only one lets you meet sea turtles eye to eye.

Final Thoughts: Is Scuba Diving Right for Your Child?

Scuba diving is not just for thrill-seekers. It’s a science-backed, skills-based, awe-inspiring way to connect with the planet and for kids, it can be life-changing. The key is to start when they’re ready emotionally, physically, and by age.

So, if you’re still wondering how old do you have to be to scuba dive, now you know: 10 for certification, 8 for splashy introductions. But maturity, mindset, and enthusiasm matter just as much.

And if you’re wondering if  scuba diving is hard? Not really. It's just like flying except you're weightless, in water, with fish instead of snacks.

To begin your journey, research how to get scuba certified, ask your local dive shop, or even enroll in an online intro course. And yes, how much scuba diving certification costs? Roughly $350–$600, depending on location.

Now, go make some bubbles.

Luxray for Pokemon Unite? Yes please! ...but how?

For a while, I've been running polls on this blog frequently, asking Tumblr to decide which pokemon they'd like to see join Pokemon Unite. Whenever Luxray in particular has been an option, it tends to dominate the poll, without a close second.

It's clear that you guys and most pokemon fans want Luxray in the game, and so do I, but I've run into a bit of a dilemma with this bolting bobcat.

These are the base stats of Luxray, or BST for short. As you can see, Luxray has a high Attack stat, so it should fit well in the role of a Speedster, correct? I mean, it's even got X-Ray vision, which would allow it to sneak up on enemies hiding in tall grass and such.

With that high Attack stat, though, one can also make the argument for it to be an Attacker. There are pokemon in Unite's roster that boast a high Attack stat but favor long rage combat like Cinderace and Decidueye, so who's to say that Luxray can't work just as well? Perhaps it can build up a sort of meter to get the most out of its Attack stat, like a paralysis gauge or something to that effect.

Luxray also has access to Intimidate, wide range moves like Discharge and Scary Face, even disruption moves like Roar and Snarl. With the ability to stun enemies with its electric type moves, it could also be a Defender, holding enemies back with moves like Wild Charge and Crunch. Perhaps as a Defender it can pull in high damaging moves like a Speedster or long range attacks like an Attacker.

But then at that point, you'd be better off making Luxray an All-Rounder, a pokemon that can fulfill multiple roles in one but not excel in any of them. Maybe it should hit as hard as a Speedster, Stun like a Defender, and keep its distance like an Attacker.

But that feels like a cop-out. There are All-Rounders in Pokemon Unite that feel better suited to other roles like Mimikyu or Lucario or even Blaziken being Speedsters. There's also the fact that we're a little overloaded on All-Rounders (15 in the game so far, with MORE coming soon. We'll have almost as many All-Rounders as we do Attackers!)

But even so, if the pokemon proves to be truly varied in effect and utility, maybe it deserves to be an All-Rounder. But then again, some fans of Luxray may prefer an alternative playstyle and may even have their own ideas on how the moveset would look like.

That's where you come in. If you've read this far, you're clearly a big Luxray fan, so I wanna ask for your opinion on this. If Luxray joins Pokemon Unite, what role do you think it is best suited to?

Now, I won't say if Luxray is in my drafts or will drop later this season, but I do want your genuine opinion on this. Pokemon fans always expect more out of their favorites, so it's better to gauge their feelings than to guess. If you want Luxray in Pokemon Unite and you have an idea of how to do it, I'd love to hear all about it.

What Is DDJAY? A Simple Guide for Plot Buyers in Haryana

Building your dream home is exciting, but finding affordable and legally sound land can be challenging, especially near Gurugram. That’s where the Deen Dayal Jan Awas Yojana (DDJAY) steps in. The scheme is designed to promote plotted development, offering buyers flexibility, financial support, and legally secure ownership. 

In this comprehensive guide, we'll break down everything you need to know, starting with what DDJAY is and how it benefits you, along with key details on eligibility, approvals, and trusted projects like those under 3B Realty.

What is DDJAY and Its Purpose?

DDJAY (Deen Dayal Jan Awas Yojana) is Haryana’s flagship scheme launched by the government in 2016.  DDJAY aims to provide affordable, government-approved plots in Haryana, especially targeting medium- and long-term housing needs. Its core objectives are:

Streamline license procedures, easing infrastructure norms and charges

Offer financial benefits like plot loans up to 80%.  

Ensure planned layouts with roads, utilities, community facilities, parks, and mandatory stilt parking. In essence, DDJAY makes homeownership simpler, safer, and more sustainable.

Key Features & Benefits of DDJAY

Deen Dayal Jan Awas Yojna (DDJAY) is a forward-thinking housing initiative by the Haryana Government that enables individuals to own affordable, well-planned plots in urban areas like Gurgaon. Here are some of the highlighted features and benefits- 

Key Features:

Maximum Plot Size: The scheme allows residential plots up to 150 sq. meters, ideal for independent homes and floors.

Planned Development Area:  Less than 30% of the total city’s planned residential area is reserved specifically for DDJAY colonies.

Colony Size Requirement: Only projects covering 5 to 15 acres are considered under the scheme.

Affordable Space Allocation:  10% of the licensed land is allocated to the government, making it more affordable than typical private housing schemes.

Licensing Cap:  Licensing is granted considering a 20% cap on group housing areas, with a 10% extension allowed under certain conditions.

Buyer Benefits:

Loan Accessibility: Buyers can avail up to 80% loan on plot purchase making ownership easier.

Security-Oriented Gated Layouts: Projects promote gated communities with enhanced resident safety.

Integrated Amenities: These plotted developments include open parks, shopping areas, community halls, and preschool facilities, all within the premises.

High Demand & Growth Potential: Due to clear titles, planned layouts, and community infrastructure, DDJAY plots have seen a rise in demand and long-term value.

This combination of affordability, flexibility, and legal clarity makes DDJAY a compelling option for both first-time buyers and long-term investors.

Why DDJAY Plots Are a Good Investment in Haryana? 

Capital Appreciation: Rapid urban growth around Gurugram boosts plot value.

Flexibility for Future Needs: Build when you’re ready; hold undeveloped as land appreciates.

Reduced Speculation Risk: Regulated scheme minimises speculative bubbles.

Combined with planned locality and financing benefits, plots under DDJAY emerge as strategic and secure investments.

Approval Process For DDJAY Scheme in Haryana

To get a plotted colony license under DDJAY in Haryana, developers must follow a defined approval process outlined by the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP). Here's how it works:

Developer Submits Plan - A real estate developer prepares and submits a detailed layout plan to the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP), Haryana, under the DDJAY scheme.

Plan Review & Evaluation - DTCP reviews the plan to ensure it follows DDJAY guidelines, this includes checking for proper plot sizes, layout design, density, open areas, and required amenities.

License & Approval - Once everything is verified and meets the norms, DTCP grants a license to the developer and approves the project layout.

Sales & Bookings Begin - After receiving approval, the developer can officially begin plot bookings and sales.

Buyer Assurance - Every plot under DDJAY comes with a Clear Title and is RERA-registered, ensuring legal transparency and protection for buyers.

This streamlined process ensures that plots under DDJAY are legally secure, well-planned, and future-ready.

How to Identify a Genuine DDJAY Project? 

To identify a genuine DDJAY project, you must check these details thoroughly- 

RERA Registration: All DDJAY projects must be registered with the state's RERA authority.

Government License: Ensure the project is licensed under the DDJAY policy by the Town and Country Planning Department

Developer's Credentials: Check the developer's track record and reputation.

Clear promise delivery: Allocated community area, no hidden charges

3B Realty’s DDJAY-Approved Projects? 

3B Realty, a trusted name among real estate companies in Delhi NCR, has two projects under DDJAY:

Pataudi One is a plotted development under DDJAY featuring RERA-approved clear titles, stilt + 4-floor construction, and essential infrastructure including roads, water, electricity, and green zones. Buyers benefit from phased payment plans aligned with infrastructure progress, along with the flexibility to design their own homes amid communal green areas.

Estate 95 is another promising development under DDJAY.  It prioritises sustainable planning and community-friendly design, with approved layouts, proper infrastructure, and all the legal clearances required under the DDJAY scheme. Estate 95 stands out for its focus on future-ready amenities, offering a peaceful and connected environment perfect for families or long-term investors. Its compliance with DDJAY guidelines assures buyers of legality, transparency, and quality delivery. 

Final Thoughts

DDJAY Haryana is reshaping plotted home ownership, offering legal clarity, affordability, and design freedom. When backed by experienced developers like 3B Realty, with their DDJAY projects such as Pataudi One and Estate 95, the scheme becomes not just accessible, but reliable and future-ready.

If you're exploring upcoming DDJAY plots in Gurgaon, remember that success lies in choosing the right location, verifying legal approvals, ensuring infrastructure, and working with reputed builders.

How to Choose the Right Lab Equipment for Your Research

 Equipping your laboratory with the right tools is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a researcher. Whether you’re starting a new project, outfitting a new lab, or expanding existing capabilities, selecting the right lab equipment can greatly impact your research outcomes, productivity, and safety.

With the wide variety of scientific instruments available today, making the right choice requires careful evaluation. This article offers a step-by-step guide to help researchers, lab managers, and technicians make informed decisions when selecting lab equipment tailored to their research needs.

1. Understand Your Research Requirements

Before looking at any product catalogs, first define what your research actually needs. This includes:

Type of research: Biological, chemical, physical, environmental, clinical, etc.

Sample types: Liquids, solids, tissues, gases, microorganisms

Processes involved: Heating, mixing, separation, microscopy, data analysis

Desired outcomes: Are you analyzing, synthesizing, testing, or observing?

Clearly outlining your workflow will help you identify essential instruments and avoid buying unnecessary or incompatible tools.

2. Make a List of Essential Equipment

Based on your workflow, create a checklist of necessary equipment. Typical categories include:

Core equipment – Centrifuges, microscopes, incubators, balances

Support equipment – Hot plates, stirrers, water baths, pH meters

Storage – Freezers, refrigerators, chemical cabinets

Safety – Fume hoods, eyewash stations, autoclaves

Specialized tools – Spectrophotometers, PCR machines, gas analyzers

Rank the equipment by priority: 🔹 Must-have for immediate use 🔸 Nice-to-have for future expansion

3. Set a Budget with Long-Term Vision

Lab equipment is an investment. While price is important, it should be weighed against quality, reliability, and future-proofing.

When budgeting, consider:

Initial purchase price

Installation and calibration

Maintenance and consumables

Warranty and service costs

Software or upgrade licenses

Training requirements

⚠️ Tip: A cheaper unit with poor precision or high maintenance costs may become more expensive in the long run.

4. Evaluate Equipment Specifications Carefully

For each piece of equipment, compare technical specifications. Look for:

Measurement range and accuracy

Capacity (e.g., sample volume, throughput)

Material compatibility (resistance to acids, solvents, etc.)

Speed and power consumption

User interface and software features

Compliance with standards (ISO, CE, FDA)

Always match the specs with your intended application, not just the highest performance values.

5. Consider Lab Space and Utility Requirements

Make sure the equipment fits both physically and operationally in your lab.

Space constraints: Check dimensions, clearance needs, and weight

Power supply: Does it need 110V, 220V, or a dedicated line?

Plumbing or gas supply: Especially for fume hoods or lab ovens

Ventilation: Some devices require exhaust systems

Noise and vibration: For sensitive environments like microscopy labs

Planning utilities in advance prevents costly retrofits or delays.

6. Check for Compatibility with Existing Systems

Ensure the equipment integrates well with your current tools and data systems:

Can it connect to a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) or data logger?

Is the software compatible with your computer OS?

Will it fit into your SOPs or automated workflows?

Does it support data export in required formats (.CSV, .XML, etc.)?

Good interoperability improves efficiency and minimizes manual work.

7. Review Brand Reputation and Support

Choose brands with a proven track record in your field. Evaluate:

Product reliability and durability

Ease of use and training resources

Warranty and after-sales service

Availability of spare parts and consumables

Responsiveness of customer support

💬 Ask for references or user feedback from researchers using the same equipment.

8. Consider Regulatory and Safety Compliance

Certain research (clinical, pharmaceutical, food, etc.) must follow strict regulations.

Ensure the equipment is certified (ISO, CE, GMP)

Ask for calibration certificates and documentation

Choose devices with built-in safety features like alarms, lockouts, or temperature limits

Verify it complies with local health and safety guidelines

9. Request Demos or Trial Periods

Whenever possible, request a live demonstration or trial run before committing. This lets you:

Test ease of operation and interface

Verify output quality and repeatability

Confirm fit within your workflow

Identify any training or installation needs

Some vendors even offer rental or leasing options for short-term use.

10. Buy from Authorized or Trusted Suppliers

To ensure quality and warranty support, always purchase from:

Authorized distributors

Direct manufacturers

Reputable lab equipment dealers

For labs in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, SOMATCO is a trusted supplier offering certified equipment, expert consultation, and after-sales support for a wide range of scientific and research applications.

Bonus Tip: Plan for Future Expansion

Choose equipment that allows you to scale as your research evolves. Look for:

Modular systems

Expandable software packages

Upgrade paths for accessories

Cloud connectivity or remote monitoring options

Forward-thinking equipment choices save time and cost when your lab grows.
