Another mad scientist idea

He's constructed what he's called "remote body use" and with it you can transfer your conscience to a robot body, your body will still be here, and mind as well, strapped to this large machine, but from your perspective you're a robot girl now! Thou issue arises if both you and robot you see each other but not to worry, won't happen.

If only he wasn't a square cause you wake up in a bog standard box robot body, and scold him for not making a proper body! So the next project is making you the best body ever, no, the best fem bot ever, with all the features you could ever want. Working tirelessly, sparking flying, soldering, 3d modelling, etc.

Until it's completely, laying in it's charging table is your dream fembot body, just waiting to be transferred. You jack yourself in to the rbu and find yourself now in your new body, exploring it before the mad scientist is even done running diagnostics!

But now to stress testing!

Aww~ that sounds lovely!~ I'd have to make sure he makes the chest modular though, having huge tits can be inconvenient at time~ maybe even a specially designed inflatable type chest that I can grow to whatever size I see fit. It would be extra fun watching him try and remain professional, assuring he's not staring and actually just observing but from the way he's drooling I know exactly what he's doing~

Here’s Your First Peek at Blake Shelton’s Las Vegas Honky Tonk Bar

Blake Shelton’s sprawling country bar will offer some of the best views in Las Vegas

by Janna Karel  Jan 4, 2024, 1:49pm PST

Janna Karel is the Editor for Eater Vegas.

Blake Shelton’s Ole Red, a sprawling, multi-story bar, dance hall, music venue, and restaurant, opens soon, and when it does, it may offer the best rooftop view of the Las Vegas Strip. Shelton broke ground on Ole Red in January of 2023 in front of the Horseshoe Las Vegas. Since then, construction crews have been building the four-story Tennessee-born restaurant, chefs have been developing a menu with dishes that are exclusive to Las Vegas, and Shelton’s team has been bulking up the roster of musical acts that will perform on stage beneath the 4,500-pound ceiling-mounted tractor.

The roughly 27,000-square-foot country bar has four levels. On the first floor is a stage in front of a 38-foot-tall LED screen that can project images to complement shows or be divided into smaller screens for broadcasting sports and other events. The second and third stories overlook the stage and each floor has a bar at the back and fully modular seating — meaning that each floor can offer traditional restaurant-style tables, lounge-style seating, or even have the furniture cleared away to make room for dancing.

The second floor has a first for Las Vegas — a direct walkway into the honky tonk. The elevated pedestrian walkway stretches from the Bellagio Las Vegas Hotel and Casino side of Las Vegas Boulevard to right inside the bar. Both stories have outdoor balconies, offering views of the Grand Bazaar Shops to the East and the Fountains at Bellagio to the west.

The fourth floor is up on the rooftop and will offer a more exclusive experience. Reservations will be encouraged for evening VIP dining, with semi-private cabanas and lounge seating reserved with table minimums. The rooftop will have regular dining at lunch time, then transition to nightlife service around 9 p.m. every night, with cocktail menus and entertainment unique to the fourth floor.

The view from the center Strip rooftop is panoramic, offering views from the Mandalay Bay at the south end of the Strip to the Mirage at the north end. It’s primed for viewing big events like the Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix and parades for the Golden Knights or Las Vegas Aces, with more than a mile of visibility in either direction. Ole Red can seat about 670 people, or offer standing room for more than 1,100. It’s a capacity that warrants the facility’s two kitchens.

Rendering of Ole Red.

The menu will have about 17 items from Ole Red’s locations in Tennessee, Florida, and Shelton’s hometown of Tishomingo, Oklahoma. Chef Mark Boor spent months developing a further 17 dishes that will be unique to Las Vegas. There will be appetizers like the Turnin’ Me On loaded tots, which are rounds of house-made crispy tots piled high with truffle salt, bacon, parmesan, herbs, a sweet bourbon onion and tomato jam, and a smoked black bean aioli. Shrimp corn dogs are Boor’s answer to “Vegas-ifying” the corn dog — coating skewers of shrimp in a light and flaky batter, served with three types of aioli. Boor says his favorite dish, and one he expects to be a crowd-pleaser, is the blackberry crispy chicken sliders. The three mini sandwiches are layered with sweet blackberry compote, a tangy whipped goat cheese spread with jalapenos, cabbage, and super crispy chicken on brioche buns.

Leaning into the West Coast-adjacent location, the menu will have a street corn salad with roasted corn and cotija cheese and mahi-mahi tacos with slaw and avocado. The Hell Right burger is 10 ounces of ground short rib, brisket, and chuck with hatch green chiles, pepper jack cheese, and smoked mushrooms — the result a super juicy burger requiring a two-hand grip. And there’s also the Ole Red ribeye, a 20-ounce bone-in ribeye with spiced chipotle butter, horseradish mashed potatoes, and crunchy slaw.

Ole Red Las Vegas and Ryman Hospitality Properties say that this will be the chain’s largest location to date. With a focus on live country music, the bar will predominantly boast a soundtrack of acoustic solo artists during the day, bands in the evening, and even DJs performing after dark. General manager, Ryan Klaasen says that on most days, the restaurant will be organized for lunch service through the afternoon, and then the tables and booths may take on whatever redecorating is needed to accommodate the night’s entertainment.

“I’ve been coming here a long time. I hosted award shows and worked concerts and was a fan and witness to Gwen Stefani’s residency,” Shelton said at an announcement for the bar last January. “And every time I’m here, I want to see some damn country music.” Shelton said he expects that Ole Red will welcome talent from unsigned singers and artists previously featured on The Voice. He’s also pitched a night in which visitors play talent scouts, listening to music from country artists in a venue with concert-quality production.

While Ole Red doesn’t have an opening date yet, it is expected to open within the next few weeks.

Been a while since I did an Art and showed it

This guy is for the revised version of my Wizard City setting, doing a "signature character" for each of the six active Conspiracies, the Anarchivists, Contrabandits, Hexecutives, Nemessaries, Sigilantes, and Trespastors. The Fair Folk character who resulted from the "Help Me Make A Character" poll series will be one of these, as soon as I figure out a look for him that I like.

A name is still pending for this character, but here's the idea:

ANCESTRY: Exemplar (Those folk who were created by the Architects, way back at the dawn of the [relatively young] universe, by modifying existing humans to thrive in specific magically unusual environments. Some Exemplar folk get prideful about having been around since the early chapters of known history, but honestly the Architects are mostly seen as such a bunch of cosmic fuck-ups that being one of their direct creations isn't seen as something worthy of bragging about. Technically the Exemplar Races are Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Giants, and so-called Empyrean Humans... but Gremlins are numbered as a sixth, as the only large discrete culture drawing from two of those types. Others with a mixture of Exemplar ancestries are certainly out there, as well as those mixed with non-Empyrean Humans, and an emerging number of Fae hybrids since Fae seem to be able to breed true with literally anyone or anything, but Gremlins are noteworthy for being numerous enough to have their own language, customs, and communities. Most Gremlins today can trace their ancestry back for hundreds of years before finding a pure-blooded Dwarf. Relations with other Goblin clans are a little more likely, but still uncommon since Gremlins are the only clan whose population centers are in the Material Realm rather than the Umbral Depths.)

CULTURE: Gremlin (Gremlins inherited a knack for machinery and engineering from their Dwarven kin and a spiritual affinity for death and entropy from their Goblin kin. The intersection makes them peerless designers of weapons and traps, as well as skilled demolitionists, and many Gremlins cultivate the ability to see the world through something like "Jason Bourne Vision" where they intuitively understand how to use every common item they encounter to inflict maximum injury.)

JOB: The Pillar (A laborer or craftsperson whose command of their Trade Skills is sufficient to put them at equal utility for a Revolutionary Cell with Soldiers, Spies and Wizards. This guy is a contractor for Baetylus city maintenance, not actually a full-time HummingBIRD employee, who habitually sabotages worksites so he can return weeks or months later and extract all the valuable materials.)

SPECIALIZATION: Freelancer (An individual who does enough odd jobs that they're capable of stepping into nearly any variety of labor and performing adequately. Basically a modular jack-of-all-trades skill set that makes them particularly useful for missions with uncertain technical requirements. All of which makes calling it a Specialization a bit silly, but whatever.)

CONSPIRACY: Contrabandit (Those empowered by Haagenti the Toad to be experts in procurement and smuggling, including an array of supernatural gifts to aid those tasks. Their most infamous trick is the ability to divert their mouths to an extradimensional pocket space, open their jaws impossibly wide, and lash out with a prehensile Yoshi tongue to slurp up the stuff they want to smuggle in their belly.)

​Windmill Lattice Towers: Installation and Maintenance Guide

Windmill lattice towers are vital components of wind turbine systems, providing the basic foundation of the turbines and being specifically engineered for strength, flexibility, and efficiency. Their lightweight lattice tower construction with an open framework makes them suitable for use in various terrains and high-wind areas.

In this guide, we explore the installation process of windmill lattice towers, as well as their maintenance, after which we hope for their safe, efficient and long-lasting energy generation.

What is a Lattice Tower?

Before we get into the installation and maintenance process, it is vital to understand: what is a lattice tower? A lattice tower is simply a steel structure made up of many components crossed by others formed typically into a triangular or square base tapering toward the top. 

With this design, the wind load impact is drastically reduced, which also helps to lighten and improve material efficiency. It is most often applied in communication towers, transmission lines, and, above all, wind turbines.

Installation Steps of Windmill Lattice Towers

1. Site Assessment and Feasibility

This includes the geography, wind speed data, soil test, and accessibility. Engineers must ensure that the site can take the load of the tower and wind turbine in general, environmental, and safety terms.

2. Design and Engineering

The engineering cycle of the lattice tower consists of making designs to suit demands of height, weight, and wind resistance to meet load requirements on the basis of concern for load distribution, vibrations, and torque balancing. Custom solutions adhering to industry standards and optimizing the structural performance are therefore the forte of KP Green Engineering Limited, a reputed provider of windmill lattice towers in India. 

3. Foundation Work

Any lattice steel tower needs a strong foundation. Depending upon the soil condition, the engineers may provide either a reinforced concrete pad type of foundation if the foundation soil is strong or, if the soil is relatively weaker, a pile type of foundation. The depth and width of the foundation would be determined by the height of the tower and the expected wind loads. Leveling and alignment will be done accurately for easy assembly of the tower.

4. Tower Assembly

Windmill lattice towers are assembled in a few modular sections. These prefabricated sections may be assembled either on the ground and lifted or constructed piece-by-piece in a vertical stress arrangement by a crane. The modular nature of lattice towers allows easy transportation and on-site assembly, especially in remote locations.

5. Erection of the Tower

Mechanical jacks or cranes have been used to hoist the tower segments. Once mounted, every component is bolted down and aligned for accuracy in vertical and structural integrity. Because lifting and alignment operations are hazardous, strict safety practices are followed by workers.

6. Wind Turbine Installation

Also, described above, when the lattice tower is completely assembled, nacelle and rotor hub and rotor blades are placed at the top. This phase requires quite high accuracy and favorable weather to prevent accidents or damages to such parts.

Maintenance Guide for Windmill Lattice Towers

Good and proper maintenance extends windmill lattice towers life and efficiency. Regular inspections and prompt actions really help in the early detection of wear, corrosion, or structural problems.

1. Routine Visual Inspections

These inspections will include rust spots, paint wear, loosened bolts, and metal fatigue on the lattice tower structures periodically scheduled by the operators for checks. Normally, these inspections are made either quarterly or biannually, depending on environmental exposure.

2. Corrosion Control

Especially along shorelines and within high-moisture areas, corrosion poses as severe a threat as any to steel lattice towers. Galvanization, epoxy coating, or weatherproof paint should be applied, and regularly renewed. Check weld joints, bolt states, and base sections for any signs of rust.

3. Bolt Tightening and Component Alignment

The many high-strength bolts used for assembling lattice towers have to be periodically checked regarding their tightness by a torque wrench. Improperly tightened joints may misalign the components or even cause structural failure, thereby affecting the performance of the wind turbine.

4. Structural Load Checks

Windmill towers experience dynamic loads that may lead to fatigue cracks or deformation. The use of either drone surveys or SHM (structural health monitoring) systems could reveal whatever signs of stresses or cracks present- particularly at the anchor points and mid-sections.

5. Access System Maintenance

Technicians gain access to lattice towers by using ladders for staircases. Such access systems also need to be inspected and maintained.

6. Documentation and Audits

Keeping a detailed log of all inspection, repair, and service activities ensures consistent performance over the years. The log supports possible warranty claim back, future audits, and well-researched decision-making for upgrades.
