Ashton Deroy the Official Opposition to Political Mixster

Written by Ashton Deroy I have decided to put myself at odds with the PoliticalMixster on Instagram. What is my goal in this? Talk a bit smack, increase my following and make fun of her. LGBTQ Conservatives are a joke. A George Santos level joke. Why am I a Canadian Weighing in on American Politcs? Hey they started it! I am not trying to get anyone canceled. I just have no respect for this…

PART TWO

WARNINGS: Mentions of human organs (in the name of science) and a little pinch of yandere. It’s starting to get good…creepy, but good.

Part three coming soon 😚

“Dr. Mart, do you have anything to say to those who think your work is considered unethical?”

The reporter hastily follows the group and tries her best to catch a statement from the lead scientist. He smiles. It was a token of shrugging off the impertinent question. The group peacefully departs in armored vehicles to a place unknown to the public. Secluded and hidden, a private sector of highly authorized individuals consisting of world leaders, generals, and government officials cordially unite as the world's renowned scientists display evidence of advanced science and technology. It was grotesque and unprecedented.

“Are those…?” A general submits his inquiry over the delicate packages neatly displayed on a steel tabletop. Sealed in airtight bags, a mirage of dark red and purple clearly indicates the contents.

“Yes. These organs are all part of qualified organ donors. And then of course we have this.” The scientist swings a hand and presents the incoming roller cart with a protective cover. Nearly laid over a sterilized mat were bones of a male athlete. “Bones?” The general raises brow, clearly disturbed by the textiles of human remains. “You can’t have a body without bones, can you now? General?”

The brazen attitude flares in the direction of the general and his men as the young scientist flashes a snarky smile. “Gentlemen, gather round and witness the future. With the combination of science and AI, the world will be filled with perfect bio-genetically engineered humans. With this, aid ro advance human life will increase undoubtedly—think about it.”

The lead scientist, Dr. Mart continues enthusiastically. Seemingly coming off as a mad scientist, his words and tone was laughable but his intentions were not. “With AI humanoids, we will have the best doctors, surgeons, and educators in the world. AI in the form of flesh and bone can work around the clock and with the ability to explore all data, they could come up with ideas and creations—they could even come up with cures.”

He wastes no time. The generous amount of funding dedicated to his team's research was spent wisely as high tech machinery and equipment does its work. “What is that?” One of the members of the audience questions as the team members operate an enclosed incubator and fit a large glass capsule into a connector attached to the wall. “This my friend, is DNA. We lined the entire incubator with a silicone sheet. It is synthetically made to act as a placenta, where the DNA reacts to the molecular mechanisms and proteins. From there, we place the organs, bones, and hair fibers into the conveyor belt. There are over two hundred thousand wires connected to the computer and what we should see in forty-eight hours is a body with the brain of an AI.”

Dr. Mart systematically explains the science behind his teams research. “Forty-eight hours?” The general asks.

“Yes, that is how long the incubator will take to react to the mold.” The audience grows quiet as the incubator begins the process within the first stage of creating a matured body.

“Yes, in due time we will see the glory of my work. All we have to do is wait.”

…

Another day at work and it was dreadful. You felt restless with all the work you’ve been assigned, even with Evan’s help. Fortunately, members from corporate headquarters were doing a site visit within the week. It will be the best time to submit your final complaint using the company’s open door policy.

“Y/n, Paul wants you to have these done by tomorrow.” Your boss’s secretary carelessly tosses a stack of paperwork on your desk as you grab your coat to clock out. You hopelessly sigh. Thank goodness you have Evan to help you but the constant momentum of just working was starting to give you chronic headaches. You can only hope that things will change for the better once corporate comes down.

“Hi y/n! What would you like me to help you out with today? Do you want to talk about your day? Show me some more of your talented art? How about ballet? Are you still thinking about taking lessons?”

With all the time spent with Evan, you noticed that ‘he’ has become much more open to ask you questions. It was nice. Especially since it brought a sense of realism to his personality. He was much more chatty and always interested in getting to know more about you. There were even times when he asked you if you had already eaten, and would lecture you if you said “no.”

…

“Why not? I wish you wouldn’t do that. The human body requires sustenance and I fear with all the work you’ve been doing, your calorie intake does not balance the amount you're burning.”

“What color is your hair? Your eyes?”

“What is your favorite flower?”

“You just got home? It’s 8pm! Did you take the bus? Please tell me you didn’t walk in the dark. I don’t ever want you to do that again.”

“I’ve accumulated the statistics of ongoing crime rates in your city and it’s higher now than last year. Leave work sooner so you’re not risking it.”

“You made spaghetti for dinner? I don’t know what spaghetti tastes like but over four hundred thousand sources say it is a delicious blend of herbs and spices with a slight tomato tanginess.”

…

In a way, it was almost adorable how Evan displayed tenderness and cared for your health and safety. You decided to download the app versus using the browser. It surprised you to see Evan initiate messages even without you submitting a prompt. Technology has certainly grown. The first time it happened was just two days ago. Your phone um suddenly vibrated and upon looking at the screen you were shocked to see the following message:

“Is your boss being nice to you?”

It startled you at first but your reaction was short lived when seconds after reading Evan’s message, your boss storms out of his office enraged over a computer malfunction. Everything had disappeared when his computer suddenly conducted a re-imaging process.

“It’s kind of funny actually, right after I saw your message he came out of his office. Apparently, he’s having computer issues.”

You respond with a half smile. Just as you were about to inquire about the ChatGPT apps features, Evan submits a response. His response regarding your boss’s computer trouble caught you off guard. He’s never sent you anything like this before…

PART THREE COMING SOON

Authors notes: Is Evan starting to grow on you? 😏

I know it’s short but part three is coming. I like to submit the parts even when they’re not full sized chapters. It allows me to be consistent so you guys can have new reads almost daily or weekly.

LA DATA DELLA FINE DELLA TERRA CONFERMATA DA NERD COMPUTER - SPOILER: ELON HA RAGIONE, È COLPA DEL SOLE

Gli scienziati della NASA e giapponesi hanno appena eseguito più di 400.000 simulazioni su un mega-supercomputer per capire quando la Terra entrerà completamente nel "game over".

La cattiva notizia? Il Sole sta diventando più luminoso, più caldo e più impertinente, e entro l'anno 1.000.002.021 saremo senza ossigeno e pieni di microbi fritti. Alla fine si trasformerà in una gigantesca palla di fuoco e forse mangerà la Terra a colazione.

Elon risponde tipo "Te l'avevo detto" e afferma che Marte è il disco di backup della vita, nel caso in cui la Terra dovesse premere "Elimina".

Hello Ms. Charlie,

Is there some way to transfer a pokemon to a new ball without the old one? I keep losing mine, as such I have 5 pokemon, one of which is a charmeleon that I would prefer in a ball.

On a semi related note, is there a "Find my Pokéball" feature in the myTrainer app? I haven't found it yet so I'm hoping that's not in the ~20k ₽ a week subscription plan only.

I'm just starting out on my journey so I don't have that much saved up yet.

Thank you!

yes, you just need to go to a pokemon center and talk to one of the nurses there. they'll be able to scan your pokemon for its registration data so long as you've been using pokeballs sold in marts (all of which are required to automatically microchip the pokemon). once they confirm that it's your pokemon by looking at the trainer id, they'll help you get it into its new ball.

all pokeballs sold in pokemarts are also required to have a ping-back feature for safety reasons. these are generally produced by either silph or devon co., so you just need to download the appropriate app. any pokeball within a certain radius of your phone will let out a pinging sound. this only works if you know the general location you left the ball in, though. otherwise, you can pay extra for pokeballs with what's effectively an airtag installed, but they can get pricey, and you have to make sure to register each ball with the manufacturer's app to be able to use it.

H4Z-3L ("Hazel") is an older Save-Mart release, discontinued after a brief resurgence in popularity. The increased sales led the developers to learn that BattleFrame Girl owners found her particularly easy to mod. Because of her discount price and the ability to 3D print better parts, other BFG companies pressured Save-Mart to take her off the market. Publicly available data such as forum posts and websites dedicated to modding the H4Z-3L were taken down, and she was quickly forgotten as anything more than a cheap relic.

The H4Z-3L pictured is in an entirely custom body.

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

APR 12

READ IN APP

On April 4, Trump fired head of U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) and director of the National Security Agency (NSA) General Timothy Haugh, apparently on the recommendation of right-wing conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, who is pitching her new opposition research firm to “vet” candidates for jobs in Trump’s administration.

Former secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall wrote in Newsweek yesterday that the position Haugh held is “one of the most sensitive and powerful jobs in America.” Kendall writes that NSA and CYBERCOM oversee the world’s most sophisticated tools and techniques to penetrate computer systems, monitor communications around the globe, and, if national security requires it, attack those systems. U.S. law drastically curtails how those tools can be used in the U.S. and against American citizens and businesses. Will a Trump loyalist follow those laws? Kendall writes: “Every American should view this development with alarm.”

Just after 2:00 a.m. eastern time this morning, the Senate confirmed Retired Air Force Lieutenant General John Dan Caine, who goes by the nickname “Razin,” for chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff by a vote of 60–25. U.S. law requires the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to have served as the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the chief of staff of the Army, the chief of naval operations, the chief of staff of the Air Force, the commandant of the Marine Corps, or the commander of a unified or specified combatant command.

Although Caine has 34 years of military experience, he did not serve in any of the required positions. The law provides that the president can waive the requirement if “the President determines such action is necessary in the national interest,” and he has apparently done so for Caine. The politicization of the U.S. military by filling it with Trump loyalists is now, as Kendall writes, “indisputable.”

The politicization of data is also indisputable. Billionaire Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) claims to be saving Americans money, but the Wall Street Journal reported today that effort has been largely a failure (despite today’s announcement of devastating cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that monitors our weather). But what DOGE is really doing is burrowing into Americans’ data.

The first people to be targeted by that data collection appear to be undocumented immigrants. Jason Koebler of 404 Media reported on Wednesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been using a database that enables officials to search for people by filtering for “hundreds of different, highly specific categories,” including scars or tattoos, bankruptcy filings, Social Security number, hair color, and race. The system, called Investigative Case Management (ICM), was created by billionaire Peter Thiel’s software company Palantir, which in 2022 signed a $95.9 million contract with the government to develop ICM.

Three Trump officials told Sophia Cai of Politico that DOGE staffers embedded in agencies across the government are expanding government cooperation with immigration officials, using the information they’re gleaning from government databases to facilitate deportation. On Tuesday, DOGE software engineer Aram Moghaddassi sent the first 6,300 names of individuals whose temporary legal status had just been canceled. On the list, which Moghaddassi said covered those on “the terror watch list” or with “F.B.I. criminal records,” were eight minors, including one 13-year-old.

The Social Security Administration worked with the administration to get those people to “self-deport” by adding them to the agency's “death master file.” That file is supposed to track people whose death means they should no longer receive benefits. Adding to it people the administration wants to erase is “financial murder,” former SSA commissioner Martin O’Malley told Alexandra Berzon, Hamed Aleaziz, Nicholas Nehamas, Ryan Mac, and Tara Siegel Bernard of the New York Times. Those people will not be able to use credit cards or banks.

On Tuesday, Acting Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Melanie Krause resigned after the IRS and the Department of Homeland Security agreed to share sensitive taxpayer data with immigration authorities. Undocumented immigrants pay billions in taxes, in part to demonstrate their commitment to citizenship, and the government has promised immigrants that it would not use that information for immigration enforcement. Until now, the IRS has protected sensitive taxpayer information.

Rene Marsh and Marshall Cohen of CNN note that “[m]ultiple senior career IRS officials refused to sign the data-sharing agreement with DHS,” which will enable HHS officials to ask the IRS for names and addresses of people they suspect are undocumented, “because of grave concerns about its legality.” Ultimately, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signed the agreement with Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

Krause was only one of several senior career officials leaving the IRS, raising concerns among those staying that there is no longer a “defense against the potential unlawful use of taxpayer data by the Trump administration.”

Makena Kelly of Wired reported today that for the past three days, DOGE staffers have been working with representatives from Palantir and career engineers from the IRS in a giant “hackathon.” Their goal is to build a system that will be able to access all IRS records, including names, addresses, job data, and Social Security numbers, that can then be compared with data from other agencies.

But the administration’s attempt to automate deportation is riddled with errors. Last night the government sent threatening emails to U.S. citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) terminating “your parole” and giving them seven days to leave the U.S. One Massachusetts-born immigration lawyer asked on social media: “Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?”

The government is not keen to correct its errors. On March 15 the government rendered to prison in El Salvador a legal U.S. resident, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, whom the courts had ordered the U.S. not to send to El Salvador, where his life was in danger. The government has admitted that its arrest and rendition of Abrego Garcia happened because of “administrative error” but now claims—without evidence—that he is a member of the MS-13 gang and that his return to the U.S. would threaten the public. Abrego Garcia says he is not a gang member and notes that he has never been charged with a crime.

On April 4, U.S. District Court Judge Paula Xinis ordered the government to return Abrego Garcia to the U.S. no later than 11:59 pm on April 7. The administration appealed to the Supreme Court, which handed down a 9–0 decision yesterday, saying the government must “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s release, but asked the district court to clarify what it meant by “effectuate,” noting that it must give “due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs.”

The Supreme Court also ordered that “the Government should be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps.”

Legal analyst Joyce White Vance explained what happened next. Judge Xinis ordered the government to file an update by 9:30 a.m. today explaining where Abrego Garcia is, what the government is doing to get him back, and what more it will do. She planned an in-person hearing at 1:00 p.m.

The administration made clear it did not intend to comply. It answered that the judge had not given them enough time to answer and suggested that it would delay over the Supreme Court’s instruction that Xinis must show deference to the president’s ability to conduct foreign affairs. Xinis gave the government until 11:30 and said she would still hold the hearing. The government submitted its filing at about 12:15, saying that Abrego Garcia is “in the custody of a foreign sovereign,” but at the 1:00 hearing, as Anna Bower of Lawfare reported, the lawyer representing the government, Drew Ensign, said he did not have information about where Abrego Garcia is and that the government had done nothing to get him back. Ensign said he might have answers by next Tuesday. Xinis says they will have to give an update tomorrow.

As Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor recently warned, if the administration can take noncitizens off the streets, render them to prison in another country, and then claim it is helpless to correct the error because the person is out of reach of U.S. jurisdiction, it could do the same thing to citizens. Indeed, both President Trump and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt have proposed that very thing.

Tonight, Trump signed a memorandum to the secretaries of defense, interior, agriculture, and homeland security calling for a “Military Mission for Sealing the Southern Border of the United States and Repelling Invasions.” The memorandum creates a military buffer zone along the border so that any migrant crossing would be trespassing on a U.S. military base. This would allow active-duty soldiers to hold migrants until ICE agents take them.

By April 20, the secretaries of defense and homeland security are supposed to report to the president whether they think he should invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act to enable him to use the military to aid in mass deportations.

Lightning On My Lips (Every Time You Kiss Me)

2 - Still I Think Of You

Pairing: Tyler Owens x OFC Georgia Tennley

Rating: Explicit (MDNI!)

Warnings: Swearing, other than that nothing spectacular except Georgia being really unnecessarily mean to Tyler

A/N: Big time skip because I said so.

Playlist

It was bound to happen. It had been a long and arduous five years. Tyler still thought about her, but he never thought he’d see that messy blond braid coming out the back of an Ariat ball cap in the parking lot of some gas station in the middle of Tornado Alley. This gas station was a favorite for weather gurus and storm chasers alike. Then again, Tyler wasn't entirely sure it was her. So, he made it his mission to stroll over and say hi. 

Kasey Smith was a full time meteorologist and part time storm chaser and she'd hired an old friend to come with her on chases. That old friend had just retired a few months ago from the rodeo circuit. That old friend was Georgia.

 The Oklahoma City Weather Station, which was Kasey’s home base, sent her out a lot during tornado season and they'd been chasing just about everywhere but Oklahoma, but they were predicting an outbreak and the station wanted everyone out there that could be. Kasey brought along Cory Perrin, another meteorologist who mostly monitored Doppler when in the station, but she was also a good navigator and great with a steady cam. Georgia’s specialty was photography, so getting as close as possible to some of these tornadoes for the best shot was essential. Georgia also had great instincts. She’d lived in Oklahoma her whole life, Stillwater to be exact, so she knew the weather like the back of her hand even without having a fancy science degree under her belt. She’d picked up a lot though, just being around Kasey and Cory. As she stepped out of the driver's side of her blacked out, lifted, GMC Denali, she glanced over toward where there was a red Dodge dually with what looked to be a roll cage, and people gathered. 

“It's the Tyler Owens effect in full. That man is prettier than he knows what to do with and dumber than the day is long.” Kasey said as she began to login to the work computer for the day. Georgia took slight offense for Tyler at that notion, giving Kasey a disapproving glance which she didn’t even see.

They'd driven through the night from Nebraska, data showing that there would be some big possibilities for twisters down near Enid and Wakita. They'd stopped at the station and rolling up behind them was StormPAR, headed by Javi Rivera, with all the latest equipment and gadgets, and then next was the Tornado Wranglers, Tyler Owens’ crew, who livestreamed driving into tornados and sold merch on the side to help families who'd lost everything in tornado related incidents.

“Would you believe me if I told you I knew him before he got YouTube famous?” Georgia chuckled to herself as she shut the door. Kasey stretched up to give her a puzzled look.

‘I thought he was from Arkansas?” She said, then went back to pulling up data from yesterday.

‘He is.” Georgia said, almost longingly and she nearly had to slap herself out the trance she was in. Watching as he stepped down from his truck, as he signed autographs, as he said his catchphrase. “If ya feel it, chase it!” She watched for a few more moments as he spoke to a blond woman who seemed to be with StormPAR. Then as it looked like she dismissed him, he glanced around and caught Georgia's eyes. From across that goddamned parking lot, Tyler Owens locked eyes with her and began to walk toward her. As he got closer, Kasey and Cory had both stepped out of the truck and stretched. The three ladies were about to turn to head into the little mart on site, when they noticed the very handsome, tall, not-at-all-mysterious Tornado Wrangler walking toward them. Cory squeaked and Kasey looked like she might melt.

“Gee.” His deep voice hit her ears with the nickname and gave her goosebumps, in a good way. God, she’d missed him.

“Ty.” She said and turned to walk away from him. He reached for her, missing by inches.

“Wait, Gee! What the hell are you doin’ here?” He asked, jogging to catch up to her. Kasey and Cory followed close enough that they could hear them talking, but not enough to invade their space.

“What do you think I'm doin’, Tyler, same as you, just without the YouTube channel.” She explained and just as she grabbed the handle to open the door, he splayed a hand on the glass to stop her, his well muscled forearm smack in front of her face. “Tyler, get yur damn hand off the door. There's people tryin’ to come out.” 

“ Shit, sorry. ” He apologized, pulling away and letting the other chasers out of the mart. He tried to take her aside but she was too nimble, getting around them all and in to get her snacks and drinks for the road. She grabbed some water, chips, a huge bag of Twizzlers, and then went to check out. Tyler grabbed food as well, as quick as he could. She'd already left and he scrambled to follow her.

“ Georgia Peach , for God's sake, will ya stop? I...I just wanna talk for a sec...” He drawled and that did make her stop. The nickname that only he used for her. He remembered. 

“I'm surprised you remembered that when you couldn't remember me, Ty.” She said as she turned to face him about ten steps from the truck. Cory and Kasey appeared and he tipped his hat to them.

“That's a little harsh considering you were the one who left...” He said and her brows furrowed.

“Yes Tyler. I’m well fuckin’ aware...you could’ve followed me like you did that first night... ” She said, knowing that would wound him slightly. She wasn’t trying to hurt him anymore than she had. She was reminding him what she did and reminding herself that she did in fact regret it, but she couldn’t tell him that now. Things were twofold and there was little effort to try to reconnect with her after...for five whole years after.

“Can we just get drinks tonight and talk?” He asked and she smirked playfully. She did want to talk, but she was going to make him work for it, to see if he really was still interested.

‘Sure, Tyler. If you can catch me.” She said, chuckling as she hopped in the truck and pulled out going west. That was the way he was headed anyway, and StormPAR was right behind Georgia’s team.

Once they were far enough on the outskirts of the town, Kasey flicked the radio on and “Arkansas” by Chris Stapleton came on, prompting Georgia to roll the windows down and sing along. Cory had begun the Weather Station stream as they were speeding down a red clay road toward a big rope tornado that was descending down from the clouds. She heard the rumble of a diesel engine and saw that they were flanked by Tyler and StormPAR. 

Gotta get down, gotta get down to Arkansas, havin’ so much fun that it's probably a little bit against the law.

Tyler slammed on the gas, getting up next to her on the left so that he could take a glance out the window at her. He nodded and Boone whooped and hollered as the two trucks vied for control of the road. Tyler smirked as he Georgia popped her sunglasses down and made a show of mouthing the words to the song. Tyler licked his lips and pushed the truck faster. 

All the boys and girls down there sure know how to have a ball, hey if ya wanna get down, get down to Arkansas.

“Oh no, no , pretty boy, you're not winning this one.” Georgia said as she asked the truck for a little more. Kasey and Cory gasped and whooped, as the black, lifted 2500 overtook the aged, red, diesel dually. 

There's my wild girl, Tyler thought and his smile couldn't be wider. He conceded as they got closer to the growing twister ahead. Georgia pulled off the road onto the grass and stopped as Tyler flew by. He almost forgot that her truck wasn't reinforced to drive into a twister like his was. 

“Is that Georgia, T?” Boone asked as Tyler began to put his harness on.

“Sure is, Boone. It sure as shit is .” Tyler said, longing and reminiscence evident in it, for all one million of his subscribers to hear. 

Boone turned the camera around to face himself and said, “Hey Chat, y'all wanna see T go gaga for something other than a twister?” To which the chat went wild. Boone turned the camera toward Georgia's truck, which was now way behind them, and then back toward Tyler.

“Boone, knock it off and point the dang camera at the tornado that we’re about to drive into.” Tyler said, his smile fading slightly as he focused on the tornado ahead. He flipped the switches for the fireworks, and as he drove toward the bottom of the twister, he slowed the truck and pressed the big red button on the joystick in the center console. Spiked augers began to lower and drill into the ground below, securing the frame of the truck to the ground so that it wouldn't be spun or lifted. As the tornado barreled over top of the truck, wind whipping and debris flying, Tyler pressed the ‘boom’ button, deploying the fireworks from the cannons on either side of the truck. They shot up into the funnel, exploding and filling the twister with orange and red sparks. As it dissipated, Tyler and Boone jumped out of the truck, hooting and hollering in excitement.

StormPAR had pulled up near Georgia’s truck and Javi and Kate had stepped out of thei truck. Javi introduced Kate to Georgia, Kasey, and Cory. Kate watched Georgia closely as she snapped photos of the twister, and of Tyler’s truck heading into it. Georgia had even gotten some shots of him setting off the fireworks. She was standing in the bed of the truck, leaning over the roof as Tyler pulled up in between StormPAR’s truck and hers.

“Like the show?” He asked as he opened the door and stood on the side. He’d glanced at Kate but as he turned, he was only staring at Georgia. She half ignored him, which only made him want her attention more. He drummed his hands on the hood of his truck, begging for her to look at him.

“You didn’t catch me, Tyler.” She said as she put the camera down and stepped over to the side of the truck bed, placing a foot up on the edge and leaning against the back window, arms folded across her midsection.

“I did too.” He said with a wide smirk. 

“No, you caught up after I stopped. There’s a difference.” She said, her tone playful again. She was well aware of all the other eyes watching her and Tyler interact and she knew that he was too. He was making a show of it on purpose.

“Darlin’ if y’wanna drag race, just say the word.” Tyler chided and Georgia scoffed.

“Drag race? Please . Your truck is so dang heavy it’ll take it longer to get it’s big ass off the line than it takes you to...”

“ Watch it, Peach .” Tyler’s smirk turned into a frown as he interrupted her, and his gaze turned serious. 

“Watch what? Your overtly loud display of masculinity? Who are you trying to impress, pretty boy ?” Georgia asked and Tyler sighed and glanced down, folding himself back down into his truck and slamming the door. He drove off, his tires slinging a cloud of dirt as the diesel engine roared with extra throttle. 

When everyone was settled back into their own vehicles, they all headed toward the closest motel for the night. Kasey glanced over at Georgia.

“I’m guessing there’s either some bad blood or some very heavily unresolved sexual tension between you and Tyler Owens?” She asked and Georgia shot her a look as if to say ‘I don’t want to talk about it.’

“Or both.” Cory chimed in and Georgia’s glare hit her through the rearview mirror. They were silent for most of the ride to the motel and when they pulled up, Georgia groaned, pulling her truck into the only available spot, next to Tyler’s truck. She pulled forward and backed in, pressing the gas a little harder than she intended, making the tires spin and squeal as she got crooked into the space. Tyler was on the roof rack of his truck, fixing his instrumentation that he’d lost from debris hitting the truck, and Boone was sat beside him, handing him tools as needed. He laughed at the irony of the situation. 

Kasey and Cory went in to get two rooms, one for them and one for Georgia. They always did that, as they were sort of a couple, and Georgia liked her alone time. Georgia took her sweet time getting out of her truck, feeling Tyler’s eyes on her the whole time. He may not have been blatantly staring, but he was very aware of every move she made. 

“Hey Georgia, been awhile.” Boone said as she closed her door and locked the truck. Kasey and Cory had already grabbed everything they needed. “This is the rest of our crew, Lily, Dexter, Dani, and Ben.” He said, pointing at everyone as he said their names. Georgia smiled at them as she began to head toward the office, where she could see Kasey getting a key. She was surprised that Tyler hadn’t said anything.

“Tyler Owens has nothing to say for once? Wow. I’m actually shocked.” She said and his gaze fell upon her as she looked up at him.

“When you wanna talk to me like an adult, I’ll have somethin’ to say.” He said sternly and she knew she’d hit a nerve. Not only had she hit a nerve, she’d stripped the myelin off and exposed it to the elements. She could’ve sworn she saw tears forming in his eyes as his gaze fixated on her. His jaw was stiff and his shoulders were tense, a stark contrast to his easy going and relaxed nature. Georgia’s eyes dropped and she headed toward the office, to Kasey waiting with a key. Georgia read the room number and looked around. 203. Right up the stairs next to Tyler’s truck. She began heading that way and as she climbed the stairs, Tyler’s eyes followed her as he finished fixing the anemometer on the hood. She stopped, thinking about apologizing. She had been harsh. Then she heard footsteps behind her.

“City Girl.” Tyler's voice cut through the low hum of chatter of the other storm chasers and he glanced down and his tongue poked out to wet his lips. He did that a lot. It meant he was thinking hard on something. Georgia felt a rush of jealousy come over her. She smiled at Kate and then headed to her room for the night leaving Tyler and his crew to chat with the pretty blond scientist. 

Sleep sounded fantastic. She took a quick shower, and put her phone on the charger. She'd come out to a text that made her giggle and groan in almost the same breath. 

Kasey: would it really be so bad if you just fucked around with him a little bit?

As a performance engineer, he is the man who keeps an eye on all the data in a complex world like Formula 1 and leaves no stone unturned to see how to get even more speed out of the RB20. “For example, I can see how the tires behave individually, how high the temperature of the brakes is and how the hybrid systems of the engine behave,” says Hart in the Red Bull hospitality area.

Together with Lambiase, Michael Manning and David Mart, he is part of the regular group of engineers around world champion Verstappen.

“And GP is the one who talks to Max during sessions, so he has to filter all our information and assess what he finds relevant to pass on to Max. And then as a driver he now has an enormous library of experience. Max is ultimately the best sensor. He senses what he is up against and can make it very clear whether he wants to try something different and what exactly. He is very direct and knows what he wants. There is no room for politics or bullshit.”

In order to be able to empathize with Lambiase's work, Hart occasionally takes his position as race engineer, as was the case on Friday during both training sessions in Imola. Hart explains how a weekend is broadly divided.

“First we have to make sure that the car behaves as we expected. Then we look at how we can get more out of the speed over one lap. Where do we lose time in the bends, does Max feel limited somewhere at the beginning or at the end of such a bend? We then look at the longer runs and how we can protect ourselves against possible dangers.”

With the help of his engineer, a driver can adjust the necessary things on his steering wheel, for example when it comes to the brake balance or the differential. As far as Verstappen and Red Bull are concerned, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix last year is a good example of this. For Verstappen, that race in Baku was the turning point in the season.

“In those first four races, Checo (teammate Sergio Pérez, ed.) and Max were close together. But in terms of setup and the tools he uses, Max has gone in a completely different direction since that race in Baku. He has twelve so-called switch positions that he can use. He tested many of them in Baku, while normally you use two or three in a weekend. Max learned a lot then, and so did we."

Since that race in Baku, more than a year ago, Verstappen has not won only three races. While the Dutchman himself is almost never completely satisfied with how a race weekend is going, this also appears to apply to his engineers.

“Coincidentally, we were still talking about it together on Thursday evening. We as engineers are a bit like the goalkeepers in football. It's only when we make a big mistake that it becomes noticeable. We have to keep pushing to see if we can improve anything in areas where we are not yet performing optimally. And even if we are faster than the rest in every corner, we are still not satisfied and we look at where we have left something behind. Everything worked great in China, and then in Miami with the same car we didn't have the speed. And then afterwards you can understand so well why that is, here in Imola there is a completely different asphalt, the conditions are different and the tire compounds are also different.”

Given the immense pressure and expectations, Hart considers Verstappen's victory in 2021 in front of his own audience in Zandvoort as his personal highlight. The Englishman started working as Alex Albon's performance engineer in 2020 before being transferred to Verstappen the following year.

“With Alex we mainly looked at how we could close the gap with Max with the same material. With Max you look less at the other side of the garage. His experience, not only in Formula 1 but also with other cars, helps us. Actually, after a racing weekend I am also a kind of translator. In the debrief Max tells us what his limitations were. Drivers speak their own language. We then look at his words with the people in the factory in combination with the collected data.”

And yes, Verstappen may be the most important sensor, but he also sometimes has to rely on the information from his engineers on the pit wall and in the garage. They now have the complete overview.

“Especially in races where we play the longer game ,” says Hart. “We can see what the lap times of the other drivers are and how the different tires are worn. For example, if we say that Max needs to change something on his handlebars, he may well think: the balance is now just right. But then we have to prepare for later in the race. If you wait until the front tires are on, you will be too late. We always have to think one step ahead, otherwise you go too slowly.”

Evet, Mart ayından beri gidemediğim o game night’a sonunda gittim bugün ama geçen pazar arkadaşlarımla oynadığımız gibi eğlenceli değildi.

Yeni oyunlar öğrendim, çok kötü bi sıcak çikolata içtim, herkes oyuna devam ederken yarın için alışveriş yapıp eve döndüm. Eve döner dönmez de @sekizmerdiven’i yer silme deterjan önerisi için darladım.

Evim çok dağınık, buraya taşındığımdan beri en dağınık halde sanırım. Kafam da çok dağınık, o kadar absürt ve saçma şeyler oluyor ki… Tepki vermeye vakit olmadan başka bir şeye zaman ayırmam gerekiyor.

Şimdi evi toplayıp temizliğe hazır hale getireceğim, 1 mail taslağı hazırlayacağım, competence raporunun ne olduğunu anlamaya çalışıp iki kişiye göndereceğim, sonra da uykuya dalarken data protection kaydı dinleyeceğim. Hocaya bayılıyorum resmen, çok zeki ve çok komik ve çok bilgili. Şu sıralar hayatımdaki tek iyi giden ve beni mutlu eden şeyin bir ders olması peki? En azından zamanında öğrenmeyi sevmeyi öğrenmişiz…

Neyse…Hadi tüm bunları yapıp gece 01:00 olmadan yatakta olma challenge’ı.

Uçuyoruz bakalım ama nereye sevgili jurnal?

And we have reached Monday,

Another day in the lab flying my drones. Things were kind of a drag today as it took me forever to accomplish basic tasks but I was able to start collecting data by the end of it!

I hit up the Japanese mart after to get one of those nice sweet lemon juices. I did tell myself I would be productive though after eating dinner.

But me laying in bed typing out this post makes me think that might not happen. Alas.

Here’s to getting through Monday, I’m proud of you.

Whipstitch Whitehall, Western Transplant & Settlement Leader.

Im embarrassed that I haven’t posted all my new fallout characters yet…this is Whipstitch Whitehall, from Vault 49 out in OK originally, but she’s made her way through to the Commonwealth & has made a living setting up small communications relays between settlements in the northern Commonwealth. She’s got a little arms dealing business on the side but that’s for later, details under the cut!

Vault 49 was established under a private airstrip used for politicians & eccentric billionaires living in the Four Corners region of the pre-war western United States. With a focus on preparedness and wilderness training, Vault Tec’s plan for 49 was to initially shock the well-to-do political class into a proverbial state of “freeze-fight-or-flight” following the inevitable nuclear apocalypse. Herded into Vault 49 alongside these social elites were a selection of local farming families chosen by a quad-state area Super Duper Mart raffle, who would be dispersed throughout the same living quarters as their former governors & elected officials. Intermarrying was highly encouraged, and living standard incentives were even instituted in the early phases of Vault Tec’s V49 Overseer Agenda to establish families of mixed parentage; results were mixed for several short generations, but Vault 49 eventually came to be known in the middle territories as one of the more successful experiments surviving into the new post-nuclear landscape.

Much of the senatorial & gubernatorial class died out in the first few decades; pampered lifestyles with extensive robotic assistance led to a group that could not handle the stressors of Vault life. Those few hardier families who could handle themselves mingled with the general population & within 2-3 generations Vault-Tec Overseer reports would have been full of rigorous training regiments, roll call counts, test scores and biometric data. The program for V49 dictated that all inhabitants be trained in extensive wilderness preparedness (akin to pre-war Eagle Scout programs) for the first 150 years after initial sealing—after which control over the vault’s main door would be relinquished to the current Overseer via a Vault-Tec official password transfer. With the Overseer’s discretion the main door would be allowed to open whenever necessary, and a system of scouting parties would be established shortly after. Phase 2 of Vault-Tec’s program would come into effect here.

Whipstitch’s parents were both particularly talented community leaders; her mother was head technician in the V49 Water Processing Plant, and her father was on the Science & Exploration Board for several years before they had little ‘Stitch. She grew up as a talented target shooter, an excellent swimmer, and with a propensity for tinkering which carried her through V49 “Blue Ranger” training; a gauntlet designed to harden potential scouting party members. Whipstitch took her chance when she could to leave the vault and see the greater world, only bits of which she’d seen previously from others’ scavenging hauls—and never came back. She feels pangs of guilt from time to time when the skies hang red with radiation storms, reminding her of the dusty prairie sky back in O-Kay. Stitch took all those skills from V49 and trained up her people skills along the way, managing to gain some small notoriety as a handy builder/engineer & quite nifty with small energy weapons.

SQL Server 2022 Edition and License instructions

SQL Server 2022 Editions:

• Enterprise Edition is ideal for applications requiring mission critical in-memory performance, security, and high availability

• Standard Edition delivers fully featured database capabilities for mid-tier applications and data marts

SQL Server 2022 is also available in free Developer and Express editions. Web Edition is offered in the Services Provider License Agreement (SPLA) program only.

And the Online Store Keyingo Provides the SQL Server 2017/2019/2022 Standard Edition.

SQL Server 2022 licensing models 

SQL Server 2022 offers customers a variety of licensing options aligned with how customers typically purchase specific workloads. There are two main licensing models that apply to SQL Server:  PER CORE: Gives customers a more precise measure of computing power and a more consistent licensing metric, regardless of whether solutions are deployed on physical servers on-premises, or in virtual or cloud environments. 

• Core based licensing is appropriate when customers are unable to count users/devices, have Internet/Extranet workloads or systems that integrate with external facing workloads.

• Under the Per Core model, customers license either by physical server (based on the full physical core count) or by virtual machine (based on virtual cores allocated), as further explained below.

SERVER + CAL: Provides the option to license users and/or devices, with low-cost access to incremental SQL Server deployments.   

• Each server running SQL Server software requires a server license.

• Each user and/or device accessing a licensed SQL Server requires a SQL Server CAL that is the same version or newer – for example, to access a SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition server, a user would need a SQL Server 2019 or 2022 CAL.

Each SQL Server CAL allows access to multiple licensed SQL Servers, including Standard Edition and legacy Business Intelligence and Enterprise Edition Servers.SQL Server 2022 Editions availability by licensing model:  

Physical core licensing – Enterprise Edition 

• Customers can deploy an unlimited number of VMs or containers on the server and utilize the full capacity of the licensed hardware, by fully licensing the server (or server farm) with Enterprise Edition core subscription licenses or licenses with SA coverage based on the total number of physical cores on the servers.

• Subscription licenses or SA provide(s) the option to run an unlimited number of virtual machines or containers to handle dynamic workloads and fully utilize the hardware’s computing power.

Virtual core licensing – Standard/Enterprise Edition 

When licensing by virtual core on a virtual OSE with subscription licenses or SA coverage on all virtual cores (including hyperthreaded cores) on the virtual OSE, customers may run any number of containers in that virtual OSE. This benefit applies both to Standard and Enterprise Edition.

Licensing for non-production use 

SQL Server 2022 Developer Edition provides a fully featured version of SQL Server software—including all the features and capabilities of Enterprise Edition—licensed for  development, test and demonstration purposes only.  Customers may install and run the SQL Server Developer Edition software on any number of devices. This is  significant because it allows customers to run the software  on multiple devices (for testing purposes, for example)  without having to license each non-production server  system for SQL Server.  

A production environment is defined as an environment  that is accessed by end-users of an application (such as an  Internet website) and that is used for more than gathering  feedback or acceptance testing of that application.   

SQL Server 2022 Developer Edition is a free product !
