#Nissan AD-1

[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

Nissan AD-1 concept, 1975. Also presented at the 21st Tokyo Motor Show. The AD stood for Advanced Design, the AD-1 was an aerodynamic mid-engined design study that had a 0.26 drag coefficient. Cooling air was channeled from the front of the car to the central engine avoiding the need for side-scoops which would have interrupted the smooth flow of air over the cars flanks

[bananaofswifts]

Whether she's breaking records or breaking Ticketmaster, Taylor Swift has proven time and again that she's one of the most powerful figures in modern music — and the Eras Tour is a manifestation of that.

By TAYLOR WEATHERBY

But after witnessing it in person, it's clear that Swift is not just delivering the tour of the year — it's the tour of her generation.

Sure, Beyoncé fans can't wait for her tour this summer; Harry Styles is about to embark on the final leg of his highly successful Love On Tour trek; BLACKPINK sold out stadiums around the country too. Yet, it's hard to imagine that any other tour this year will have a cultural impact as big as the Eras Tour — something that's wildly apparent whether or not you were there.

Even before Swift hit the stage for her first night at Nashville's Nissan Stadium on May 5, her influence was felt. Practically every fan of the 70,000 in attendance (a record for the venue — more on that later) was wearing some sort of reference to their favorite Swift era: a beloved lyric, or an iconic performance or music video look. While that's not necessarily a new trend in the Swiftie world, seeing all 10 of her eras represented throughout a stadium-sized crowd was equal parts meaningful and remarkable.

As someone who has been to hundreds of tours and most of Swift's — including the Reputation Tour, which I naively referred to as "the peak of her career" — I didn't think this one would feel much different than a typical stadium show. But even when Swift was just a few songs in of her impressive three-and-a-half hour set, a feeling came over me like I wasn't just watching one of music's greats — I was part of music history.

Below, here are five reasons why the Eras Tour will go down as one of the most iconic of Swift's generation.

It's Treated Like A Holiday

In the week leading up to the shows and over the weekend, Nashville was abundant with special events in Swift's honor. From Taylor-themed trivia nights to pre- and post-show dance parties to wine lists transformed into "eras," practically every place you went was commemorating her return (she last performed in Nashville in 2018).

While it's unclear whether this kind of takeover is happening in every city — after all, she does consider Nashville a hometown, as she said on stage — it's rare to see an artist have such a ripple effect by simply just coming to town.

During her May 5 show, Swift added to the excitement by sharing the highly anticipated news that Speak Now (Taylor's Version) was coming on July 7. Upon the announcement, three of Nashville's monuments — the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, the Tennessee State Capitol and the Alliance Bernstein building downtown — were illuminated in purple, the album's color.

It's Breaking Records Left And Right

Though Swift is no stranger to breaking records, she continues to do so with the Eras Tour. After setting the all-time attendance record at Nissan Stadium on night one of her Nashville run, Swift topped herself (something has become accustomed to on the charts as well) with another attendance record on night two.

And despite the controversial ticketing frenzy the tour caused, Swift also broke a Ticketmaster record with more than 2.4 million tickets sold — the most by an artist in a single day — in the presale alone. If Swift announces an international leg of the tour, Pollstar projects that the Eras Tour could surpass $1 billion, which would add yet another first to her ever-growing list.

It's Spawned Parking Lot Parties

As if history-making attendance and record-breaking ticket sales aren't indication enough of Swift's power, the Eras Tour is so highly in-demand that fans are sitting outside of the venue to still be part of the show. Fans crowded barricades and camped out in the parking lot of Nissan Stadium, ready to watch (and sing along) Swift on the big screen — something that has seemingly been happening in every city.

It Can't Be Stopped By The Elements

Adding to the magnitude of the Eras Tour, Swift performs 45 songs across three and a half hours. And to make her last night in Nashville even more momentous, she did almost all of that in pouring rain.

Swift didn't get to take the stage until after 10 p.m. on May 7 because of storms in the area (she normally goes on around 7:50 local time), but that didn't mean she'd be shortening her set. Carrying on until after 1:30 a.m. — even through the "element of slippiness happening," as she joked — Swift made it clear that she's determined to give each show her all regardless of the weather.

It's Simply A Feel-Good Celebration

Perhaps it was the five-year gap between the last time she toured. Perhaps it was the four new albums of material. Perhaps it was the celebratory nature of the show. Whatever inspired the vibe of the Eras Tour, I've never seen Taylor Swift or her fans so alive. The passion was tangible, the energy was magnetic.

Though Swift has always been known as an artist with a very loyal following, it was still mind-blowing to hear 70,000 people belt out every word for three hours straight. There aren't many artists whose catalogs are as equally beloved as they are extensive, especially one who hasn't even seen her 34th birthday. No matter how many albums and tours are in Swift's future, the Eras Tour captures a special moment in time — and celebrates a legend in her prime.

Forget the Past, Enjoy the Present (Jack Salter x Reader)

_

lame *ss title.

Disclaimers:

1. I should be sleeping

2. It's been like... 6 years? since the last time I wrote a fanfic

3. I am sorry for the cringey writing, I needed to get this out of my system

4. I only saw the movie 1 time, I hope I can go again before they remove the movie in the cinema

5. annddddd I don't own brands, names and etc. Only the cringe plot

5.5. I don't know much of how motorsports work, maybe when I have more free time I will write something really good, in the meanwhile, I ' m r e a l l y s o r r y

6. Jesus, David Harbour, I love you

Part 2 or a remake of this, yess

There is like a 10 year age gap, I believe Jack was in his 30s when the accident happened, so Reader is in their 20s making their way on racing things.

Italics for past time and details about yourself

-----------

15 years ago…

“This is devastating” a car race has gone wrong before, but this wrong? “Jack Salter seems to have lost track of his path along with another racer. Everyone at the expectation of what is going to happen next.

“Is he all right?” Jack asked while the paramedics were taking him into the ambulance “He seems to be stable, we need to hurry”, assured his trainer.

“You’ll be okay, Jack, don’t fall sleep” he heard a familiar voice before getting unconscious.

.

.

.

.

Present Time

Jack got a call from that stupid gremlin Danny Moore while he was working. Gamer racers? People who probably never drove a real car before on these powerful vehicles? Crazy idea, but here he was.

“Oh, but our special team is not complete yet” Danny was showing him the GT Academy, but once they reached the racetrack for the academy he stopped at the pits. Jack just sighs. “Now what?”

“I want our racers to have a different kind of life experience besides yours” Moore gave him a little smile.

“Stop talking around the bush, who is it”

“Well, you know them”

Jack just closed his eyes.

.

.

A demi sport sedan of (your design) was nearing them on the pits. The driver’s door opened reveling a (your hair color) person. They got closer to them. The marketing expert clapped his hands and opened his arms to embrace Y/N in a hug.

“Can’t believe you still are so energetic, Daniel” Y/N greeted him. He smiled but also sensed the tension between the other two. He pulls apart from Y/N and gestured to Jack “I’m pretty sure you remember this big guy”, Moore gave Jack a gentle pat in his belly, making the taller man grunt.

“Of course, hard to forget a man with his nose. Hello, Jack”

“Hello, Y/N” they gave each other a quick look and turn their eyes to any other place possible.

Danny clapped his hands again “Well, let’s get to it!” He gave both Jack and Y/N a pat on their backs before leaving to greet the players.

Once they saw the gaming racers arrive and Jack gave them a depressing speech, Danny introduced Y/N to relieve the pressure of the competitors. “Hello, I’m Y/N, I love racing so much that I’m an Industrial Designer to understand better everything about cars. I’m a racer but since I was young, I participated in street racing. That’s why Daniel here wanted me in the team, to teach you about how savage real racers will be with you.” They gave them a wink before getting in their place behind Danny.

“All right, get comfy guys, but not so much because you start your training tomorrow” the marketer for Nissan dismissed everyone.

Jack was left confused, so they got a degree to understand more about cars?

.

.

.

.

A couple months before the accident

“Hey, you know it wasn’t your fault, right?” they said, Y/N’s fingers touching only with the tip of the fingers in his shoulder.

“Yes it was, I should’ve more careful!” he got angry, everyone kept saying that it wasn’t his fault, that maybe could have happened with another person. He push Y/N’s hand away, but they got used to that reactions.

“Besides, what do you know about safety? The only track you know is the street, you have never been in a real race” He added fueled by the anger remembering the crash and the loss of a life.

“Is as dangerous if not more, but whatever, I tried everything to cheer you up, but it seems that you never bear my presence. I’m sorry, I hope you find peace someday.”

Y/N met Jack when they started to become more interested in racing in a professional way, not that they doesn’t enjoy street racing, but earning cups and medals looked really nice.

Jack doesn’t say anything nor gives them a glance. They picked their things up and left him alone in silence.

.

.

.

.

The team of Danny Moore, Jack Salter and Y/N worked just fine, even if the racers ended up with mixed instructions from the older racers. Moore found it problematic, he needed Jack to be synergic with Y/N so the racers could get better and better.

“Jack, my brother”

“We are not brothers”

“Oh, c’mon, we been working for days now.”

“Whaddaya need” Jack didn’t enjoy when people interrupted his Walkman’s sessions.

“Welp, always straight to the point. The three of us, we are making a great team, but no perfect.”

If Jack got a cent for every time he sighs for something that came out of Danny’s mouth, he will have tons of money. “Now what, just tell me and I will work on it”

“Nice of you to say that. Apologize to Them”.

Jack lifted his eyebrows surprised. “You think that’s the issue? We are fine, we talk the necessary.”

“Yeah, like divorced parents. That’s the problem”

“…”

.

.

.

.

“I liked the turn you made on that weird curb, but next time…” Y/N really takes pleasure in giving feedback to the young drivers. Jack approached and cleared his throat; the other instructor paused at the interruption and turned their head.

“Yes…?” Y/N raised a brow, clearly confused because Jack never shared a word with them aside from things related with the competitors or Danny (Danny himself is a topic).

“Can we… uh, talk, like the two of us” he tried to say as quiet as possible so the others couldn’t hear.

“Sure, let me finish with them” Y/N gave some last instructions to the gamers and then followed him far from the pits.

“Well, I don’t know how to start”

“Why are we here, then” Y/N crossed their arms.

“Fine, fine. Look, I’m sorry” he ran his hand over his face trying to find the courage. “I… what happened 15 years ago wasn’t my fault, you were by my side even if I never liked it. I was young and stupid to push you like that. I’m sorry” he ended and looked at the (your eye color). "I also took you for granted as a driver, hell you drive better than most of those assholes out there"

They cast their face down for a moment and then up to his eyes. “It’s fine, I appreciate your apology. Everything is in the past now” Y/N offered a small smile to him. He nodded his head. "And thanks for the compliment, it means a lot coming from you."

.

.

.

.

After that they manage to find a better rhythm of teaching the competitors. A couple of weeks have passed, Y/N and Jack became friends (the first time they met doesn’t count to Y/N since it was one-sided). Sharing meals together without Danny.

Danny Moore got an eye for perfect opportunities, and again he found one. He noticed the long glances Jack gave to Y/N, and how he worries when Y/N got in a car to give the gamers extra lessons.

“Jack, my brother” He said to Jack once they were in the press room alone.

“Jesus Christ, now what?”

Geological and Historical Evidence for Jesus’ Crucifixion Account

At Jesus’ crucifixion, Matthew (27:45-54) reported “From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ (cf., Psalm 22)…And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people. When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, ‘Surely he was the son of God!’”

Matthew’s passage includes two events that can be historically and geologically confirmed: (1) Darkness covered the land for three hours (c.f., Matthew 27:45; Mark 15:33; Luke 23:44-45) and (2) An earthquake occurred.

“At that same moment about noontide, the day was withdrawn; and they, who knew not that this was foretold concerning Christ, thought it was an eclipse. But this you have in your archives; you can read it there. Yet nailed upon the cross, Christ exhibited many notable signs, by which his death was distinguished from all others. At his own free-will, he with a word dismissed from him his spirit, anticipating the executioners’ work. In the same hour, too, the light of day was withdrawn, when the sun at the very time was in his meridian blaze. Those who were not aware that this had been predicted about Christ, no doubt thought it was an eclipse.” 

-  Tertullian (197 AD), Jewish Consul

“In the 4th year of the 202nd Olympiad, there was a great eclipse of the sun, greater than had ever been known before, for at the 6th hour the day was changed into night and the stars were seen in the heavens. An earthquake occurred in Bythinia and overthrew a great part of the city of Nicaea.”

- Phlegon (2nd century AD) Greek historian, “Olympiads”

“With regard to the eclipse in the time of Tiberius Caesar, in whose reign Jesus appears to have been crucified, and the great earthquakes which then took place, Phlegon too I think has written in the 13th or 14th book of his Chronicles…Celsus imagines also that both the earthquake and darkness were an invention, but regarding these, we have in the preceding pages made our defense, according to our ability, adducing the testimony of Phlegon, who relates that these events took place at the time when our Savior suffered.” 

- Origen (184 – 253 AD), Greek scholar and early Christian father who confirmed Phlegon’s writings

“Jesus Christ underwent his passion in the 18th year of Tiberius [33 AD]. Also at that time in another Greek compendium we find an event recorded in these words: ‘the sun was eclipsed, Bithynia was struck by an earthquake, and in the city of Nicaea many buildings fell.”

- Eusebius (315 AD), Historian of the Emperor Constantine.

What Caused the Three-hour Period of Darkness?

Before determining that the three-hour period of darkness is due to supernatural causes, we must rule out the natural possibilities. We have experienced natural events that have caused darkness during the daylight hours. These include when volcanoes erupt and emit dark clouds and when storms occur and cover the sky with clouds. Yet no Biblical or secular sources indicate any support for a volcanic explosion or storms, so we can rule out those two natural events.

What about an eclipse? The positioning of the sun and moon is required to answer this question. We have much support for the dating of Jesus’ crucifixion on Friday the 14th of Nissan in the year 33 (April 3, 33). This date was further predicted in the book of Daniel (9). Passovers only occurred during a full moon, so an eclipse would not have been possible due to the moon’s location on the far side of the earth away from the sun. Even if the positioning were conducive to an eclipse, eclipses only darken the earth for short moments, not for three hours, so we have another reason to rule out that natural option.

Is the Best Explanation to Explain this Event a Supernatural Explanation?

I will let readers answer that question for themselves.

Geological Support for the Earthquake                                     

Scholars have reported that devastating earthquakes occurred in Jerusalem during Christ’s death (Mallet, 1853; Rigg, 1941). This occurred in a region that includes the Dead Sea fault, which is a plate boundary that separates the Arabian plate and the Sinai sub-plate (Garfunkel, 1981). This fault has been active since the Miocene (Kagan, Stein, Agnon, & Neuman, 2011) and the fault is still active today (De Liso & Fidani, 2014). The fault extends from the Red Sea in the south to the Taurus Mountains in the north.

Kagan and colleagues (2011) analyzed seismites in the Holocene Dead Sea basin by constructing two age-depth chronological models based on atmospheric radiocarbon ages of short-lived organic debris with a Bayesian model. Seismites are sedimentary beds and structures, which are deformed by seismic shaking. The scholars analyzed seismites in different areas of the basin, finding that several synchronous seismites appeared in all sections during particular years, including 33 AD (+/- 2 sigma; 95% confidence interval). Other years in which earthquakes occurred as evidenced by seismites are (AD unless otherwise noted): 1927, 1293, 1202/1212, 749, 551, 419, 33, 31 BC, and mid-century B.C.

After analyzing laminated sedimentary cores recovered at the shores of the Dead Sea, Migowski, Agnon, Bookman, Negendank, and Stein (2004) also confirmed an earthquake in 33 AD with a magnitude of 5.5. They documented earthquakes around 33 AD in 31 BC and 76 AD. The scholars analyzed seismites using radiocarbon dating.

Ben-Menahem (2014) conducted a literature review of empirical studies over 4,000 years of seismicity along the Dead Sea Rift. The scholar referenced the aforementioned studies along with one by Enzel, Kadan, and Eyal (2000) before concluding that earthquakes occurred in Masada in 31 BC, Jerusalem in 33 AD, and near Nablus in 64 AD.

In summary, the literature on seismicity along the Dead Sea basin supports the assertion that an earthquake occurred either in or very close to the year 33 AD.

We can pinpoint the date even closer – to April 3, 33. A United States government federal agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, has documented the major earthquakes throughout history. According to their website (NOAA.gov), in 33 AD, an earthquake occurred at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in Bithynia and Palestine and Palestine, Jerusalem.

Conclusion

In summary, we have extensive extra-biblical support for the accounts of darkness and the earthquake during Jesus’ crucifixion. Taken together, these events support the historicity of the account of Jesus’ crucifixion.

More on the X eclipse and Beth's number-plates, it's all connected.

Crossroads ❎️ the A's and the X's - Are Alpha and Omega

Read to the end! 🤯🤯🤯

If you haven't looked at my post about the upcoming X eclipse on the 8th April, i suggest you go and read it, because i will be adding more info on that eclipse, later in this post.

All this time, we've been tracking Beth, who "died". The "walker" who walks (lives), and...she tracks herself back to the crossroad Daryl lost her at. ♾️

Let's look at the signs to track just how close we are to her return. Believe me, It's close!

Every scene that Daryl and Beth shared, including dialogue, outfits, and circumstance, is being repeated with Rick and Michonne.

Are Beth and Daryl close to being close again?

Are we almost done tracking this walker, Beth, back to the crossroad coda? ➕️❌️

This article below describes some events from this Sunday's episode, which are very reminiscent of Beth and Daryl's time together.

Firstly, it mentions how Rick was scared to let Michonne in because loving ❤️ her and losing her again would kill him.

Same as Daryl.

The article then mentions that in episode 5, someone is tracking them.

While Rick and Michonne are at their version of the funeral home.

Is she tracking herself, aka Rick? And is on a collision course to crossover into Rick's story?

Michonne, in episode 4, just stepped in the "trap"...

Everything gets a return, so it's fitting that Beth will come around again, in the same way she left. At both a Crossroads ❌️ and a coda ➕️ end.

If she tracks herself back to her own story and crosses over into it at Coda (episode 6), that would be incredible.

In the article i reference, which you can read here..

https://www.cbr.com/the-walking-dead-towl-105-clip/?fbclid=IwAR21Ds9Cp1IHAfmhcUzVr56NTIe-SP6h7cXcQeJq5uKUENyO196PVbdoYGU

Gimple hints at Rick dying in the last (Coda) episode 106, just like Beth did in Coda.

Beth's death in Coda 508, was leaked prior to the episode airing, and if you remember the Beth lookalike from episode 103 TOWL, in the Millennial park (kingdom) she picks up both carrots (Easter) and leeks (leak)

I consider this "hint" from Gimple a "Leek" to repeat the leak of Beth's death in coda.

But Rick won't die. He will instead be taken back to "Grady" CRM like Beth after Alone and the crossroad.

Another similarity in the upcoming episode is Rick wearing this backpack...

Like Daryl did after dealing with the Claimers, but prior to Terminus (coda 106). We also see Rick wear a flannel shirt, like Daryl did in Alone.

The Claimer Len asked if Daryl had lost a piece of tail (coda/happy ending) hinting at Beth. He did this when hunting the bunny (Easter) at Dawn.

The end (tail) is the beginning (Easter) she will return like she left.

The article above talks about Rick and Michonne meeting new survivors next, so I expect the last two episodes of TOWL to include large amounts of Claimers (bunny/Easter) symbolism.

If you remember, the Claimers also tracked Rick before trying to kill him.

And when Beth eventually tracks back into the story and is no longer "just gone," she circles around to represent the claimers. And she is claimed - by Daryl.

And he gets her (the bunny) back, but in two parts (In TOWL and DD2)

Claimer Joe mentions New years Eve, just before Daryl and Rick (Beth) see each other again.

Believe it or not, this yellow car represents New Years Eve...

It's a Nissan with no number plate...

There is a new year coming up, and it just so happens to be on April 8 when the X eclipse happens. That is the Jewish New Year, which begins on Nissan 1.

It's the name for the Hebrew New year, hence the no number plate and black (eclipse) number plate.

It represents the beginning of the calendar. Which also means Alpha

Now Beth's numerous repeating number plates give us this number...

XH6-S781

It's the Hebrew new year 5781.

5(S)781 - The 5 is flipped to S so it goes both ways.

The 1 = Alpha (beginning)

The X and + on the windscreen = The end or Tav - which is the last letter in the Hebrew alphabet. And it's coda in middle Hebrew.

The H = Hebrew

6 = Man number and mans calendar

And the 5781 year = Beginning (Alpha)

Beginning to end of Beth's story is represented by X & A.

Obviously the yellow of the car is symbolic of her polo top.

We on our calendar, are about to enter into Hebrew year 5784 so on April 8th, we will have 3 missing years back to Beth's car calendar. Dun dun dun!

Now for anyone who doesn't know the biblical end times chronology, this is the basic layout.

-The church of Jesus Christ is removed from the world (taken out by God, which was represented by CRM taking Rick in the helicopter), while the song about space junk is playing.

The world gets thrown into a tumultuous period called the tribulation, where a false messiah (Antichrist) rises to power, he is an imitator of the real messiah, and he makes the world take a mark X of the beast in order to buy and sell.

But it will be a poison mark X or (Tav-END-immortal death)

Just as major Beale says, the "cure" is poison.

The beginning is the end, and that's why patient zero in TWD is a drug 💉 (Pharmakon) addict who overdoses. Gloria (meaning immortal glory)

The end is the beginning, and a Pharmakon drug (poison) that is labelled "the cure" will lead to the beginning of Gloria becoming an immortality dead cannibal.

At the CDC, Dr Jenner says the virus removes what it is to be a person (removes humanity).

We have seen this hinted at in France, with experiments and the fast zombies returning, just like at the beginning of the show. The zombies were faster then.

The end is the beginning, and the pharmaCON "cure" will be the poison that begins it all.

Gloria becomes immorally dead in an abandoned church. (The church has been removed)

That's why we are now hearing the term messiah thrown around, in DD1. They will eventually repeat this template.

The end times continue and...

-God pours out wrath and judgement on the unbelieving world, during this time, while his focus turns to the Jewish or Hebrew (calendar) people to help them recognise the real Messiah.

-The church returns to earth at the battle of Armageddon and the beginning of the Millennium - Hence Rick returning to the Millennium park.

Now, i have talked about the A's and B's in the walking dead before.

"A" represents the goats (beasts) and "B" the Believers or sheep (followers) in the sheep and goats' judgment of the Millennial kingdom.

You can read more on that here X

We have seen A's many times in TWD but it has two meanings which i will clarify now.

If you choose to follow Christ and not take the Mark X in the Antichrist kingdom you will be labelled an A in that kingdom and put to death. But God will label you an X-TAV because you are a follower of Christ and put yourself last, and Christ first.

If you chose to follow the Antichrist and take the Mark X it will temporally save you. But In the Millennial kingdom you will be labeled an A, because you chose to put yourself first and Christ last.

At Terminus (train car A) was for the ones who wouldn't join the cannibals aka zombies who took the Mark X and they are to be killed.

Father Gab's Church after Terminus also gets "A" placed on it - they refuse to take the mark, labeling those who chose Christ during the antichrist kingdom as A's and they get marked for death during that kingdom.

This is another biblical end times scenario, because anyone who refuses to take the mark of the beast 666 during the Antichrist kingdom will be put to death by beheading.

Rev 20.4

And I saw thrones and they that sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them. And I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the Word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast, nor his image, nor had received his mark upon their foreheads or on their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Conversely, anyone who does take the Mark X of the Beast won't be allowed into the Millennial kingdom, they will be marked as Goats (beasts) and they will be put to death.

Ultimately, the war is between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light. The symbolism for both is converse or mirrored. This means one imitates the other but is a fake or fraud.

2 Corinthians 11:14–15

14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

This brings me to the Logical negation symbol that i discovered on tree during both the story of Terminus and coda.

It means to reverse the truth of something. That is exactly what happens with the A's and X's the Sheep and goats, in these two kingdoms. The first and the last.

The bible describes this concept here in Matthew...

Matthew 20:16

16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

We see the logical negation symbol in the light and in the dark at the time of Terminus and Coda.

With the church in the light, and with the cannibals in the dark.

Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. 25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

Not taking the Mark X in the Antichrist kingdom will mean you lose your life but ultimately save it.

When Daryl says the signs are all there to know when the tracking is almost done, he's referring to the biblical signs that point to the kingdom of the Antichrist and return of Christ just after.

I've mentioned before that Jesus said in Revelation 22.13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

TWD is covered in this symbolism.

Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters in the Greek alphabet. Which the new testament was written in.

Aleph A and Tav X are the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet which the old testament was written in.

So now i want to add one other detail to the upcoming X (TAV) eclipse that i didn't previously talk about.

The 8th of April solar eclipse will create an X or Tav (End) in conjunction with the 2017 eclipse.

But, there is one other solar eclipse that happened last year, in 2023. 2023 is where the current walking dead timeline is.

And in conjunction with the X eclipse, the 2023 eclipse makes an A (Beginning) A & X beginning and end.

"A" 416 is the same episode that Beth puts the sherrifs hat on.

The beginning is the end. ♾️

Emily's song "When the midnight fireworks 🎆 start".

Should actually be called "When the Hebrew New Year fireworks start". 5781 ♾️

I'm a slow burn driving fast through a city

Full of matches and gasoline leaks

Full of people so shiny and pretty

I'm a slow burn

You gotta give me a few more years

But there is nothing that can stop this fire

Broken bridges, no amount of tears

I'm a slow burn about to take flame

And when the midnight fireworks start

Everybody will know my name

And it will never be the same

And it will never be the same

And it will never

Be the same

It's a short flight from the safe zone to danger

From the middle to the edges

From your family to a stranger

But there's a little light keeping me on the right track

I'm getting used to the temperature

I am never gonna go back

I'm a slow burn about to take flame

And when the midnight fireworks start

Everybody will know my name

And it will never be the same

It will never be the same

It will never

Be the same

I was crawling, now I'm about to walk

And when I stand up straight the whole world will talk

And when I snap my fingers they will clap along

Singing words by heart to every single song

I'm a slow burn about to take flame

And when the midnight fireworks start

Everybody will know my name

And it will never be the same

And it will never be the same

And it will never

Be the same

This month's car review (from a Navi magazine)

difficult for men

Nissan March Cabriolet (CVT) 1.79 million yen

NISSAN MARCH CABRIOLET

The ``Cabriolet'' has been added to Nissan's ``cash cow'' March, with approximately 300,000 units sold each year around the world.

This model was originally exhibited as a reference at the 31st Tokyo Motor Show, but it was decided to go on sale this time because ``many customers requested that it be commercially available.'' However, it's already been two years since the last motor show, so I can't help but wonder, ``Why now?''

Regarding this, when the current March was announced in 1992, it was declared that there would be no model changes for 10 years. However, if we think about the next five years, we cannot rest on our laurels, so we announced the Cabriolet as the top grade of the March brand, creating a buzz and drawing attention to the March again. This seems to be a more realistic reason.It is produced by Takada Kogyo, a Nissan affiliate company that also produced the previous March-based Be-1 and Pao.

The exterior of the March Cabriolet is quite cute. In addition to simply removing the roof, a light notch was added to the rear end of the body to tighten the buttocks.

It somehow reminds me of the Peugeot 205 cabriolet.

The interior is basically the same as the March, but the seat fabric is modeled after a Milan city map and is exclusive to the Cabriolet. The chic sand beige hood is electric, so it doesn't take much time or effort to open or close it, and it only needs to be locked in two places at the top of the front window. The lowered top fits almost within the waistline of the body, but in order to secure that space, the interior length is about 10cm shorter than that of a hatchback. As a result, the rear seat has just enough space to accommodate two adults.

Unfortunately, the sky was cloudy that day, but it felt great to drive fully open on the highland roads around Risonare Kobuchizawa, which was the base for the test ride. Generally speaking, a 4-seater that opens up has a wide opening, which means that the wind is forced into the cabin, but in the case of the March, the high A-pillar of the tall boy style remains, so the side windows can be opened. Once you raise it up, the wind doesn't really bother you.

The closed-body March is available with two engines, 1ℓ and 1.3ℓ, but only the 1.3ℓ, which produces 79 ps, is available in the Cabriolet. However, due to the reinforcements added to the open body, the vehicle weighs 110kg more than before, so its power performance is on par with the liter version of a hatchback. When you step on the accelerator, the exhaust pipe emits a brave sound, but the speed does not increase as much as that sound. A roll bar (which guarantees safety in the event of a fall) is installed to ensure rigidity.

Although the roof rails (which Nissan calls them ``roof rails'') are still in place, the floor trembles when you go over a large step. Well, in any case, it's not so much that it's a hindrance to driving normally around town.

According to the person in charge of development, the keyword for the development of the March Cabriolet was ``a usable cabriolet.'' To achieve this, we focused on four points: (1) electric soft top, (2) heated glass rear window, (3) 4-seater seating, and (4) trunk-through mechanism. By the way, the Fiat Punto Cabrio, which is seen as a rival, does not have (2), and the Toyota・The Cynos Convertible does not have ① or ④. The price of the Punto is 2.45 million yen, and the advanced grade Cynos is 2.103 million yen. The March on the other hand costs 1.79 million yen for the NCVT specification, so it can be said that the March has the advantage in terms of equipment and price.

Regarding the March Cabriolet, I thought the styling was good and the construction of each part was okay, but to be honest, I felt like it was a little out of place. So, I thought, ``Why is that?'' But in the end, I thought that the March Cabriolet was too cute, or rather, it gave the impression that it was ``for girls.'' It was said to be strong. At least I can't imagine myself, a 30-year-old man, driving one, or rather, I don't really want to imagine it.

March Cabriolet, difficult for men. (Kawanishi)

PIC CAPTIONS

The March Cabriolet has a total length x width x width = 3720 x 1585 x 1430mm, and is 25mm longer and 5mm taller than the closed body. The body color is green, red, and silver as shown in the photo. Regardless of the body color, it is combined with a beige hood. Standard equipment includes air conditioning, power steering, front seat double airbags, ABS, and seatbelt pretensioners. The price is 1.79 million yen for the CVT model and 1.69 million yen for the 5MT model.

rating the batfam’s gayness based on their costumes pt.1: dick

-

disclaimer: in this post i am NOT speculating and/or predicting the sexuality of any character. only ranking how i would place them based on their costumes. this is just for fun and is not to be taken seriously AT ALL.

lets do this.

1- straighter than a plank

10- homofuckingsexual

-

- right off the bat the sharp shoulder armor is telling me gay.

- but the aggressively large knee armor says straight….

- wait…is hand…omg. limp wrist.

- limp wrist=gay. so in conclusion= it gay

9/10

-

- the d stands for ‘dude who likes dudes’

- hitting ur head on a rock is the most gay death istg he can’t even fall straight.

- he’s basically in spandex flying around like peter pan…

- it’s homo

8/10

-

- called me a slur, burned my pride flags, and ran me over with his 2002 nissan sentra while wearing a super straight t shirt

- literally a frat boy but not even the cool kind

- who willing goes by ric anyways?

- homophobes that’s who.

0/10

-

- oh fuck the hold this costume has over me.

- from the red accents to the little spiked sleeves.

- it’s possibly the most gay costume on this list.

- like new 52 tim on gay steroids.

10/10

-

- oh god it’s a fa-

- apologies i was just in shock by the amount of gay in this costume.

- like steampunk with some added gothic vibes

- goggles? gay. pointy armor? gay. bird? gay.

9/10

-

- MILF (man i love fingerstripes)

- the fingerstripes are the converse of the glove world

- which means they are gay

- and so by proxy the whole costume is gay.

9/10

-

- contrary to popular belief i don’t think this one is gay.

- it’s literally just a 80’s disco vibe

- it’s an ally that kisses all the homies goodnight.

- okay maybe it’s more unlabeled than straight…

7?/10

-

okay let’s calculate… 52/70

which is roughly..74%

which means grayson gets to join the alphabet mafia!!

welcome!!

[soothing music]

R [voice-over]: Hi, it’s Justin. This is a commercial for the podcast you’re already watching. People are annoyed by these so I’ll get right to the point: We’ve pissed off an ancient Sumerian deity and we may not live through this. Thank you for joining the Patreon, we really appreciate it, but we need a little more help. I’d say “pray for us,” but I think we’re trapped in some kinda pocket dimension, and it may not do any good. Far be it from me to impose upon your religion, or lack thereof, in any case. If you know anything about Gozer the Gozerian, or ancient Sumer, you might want to update their Wikipedia pages, because we do somehow still have our laptops and what appears to be a working internet connection, but by the time you see this it’ll probably be too late. So, for the first time ever, don’t join the Patreon. Or do, if you want. It’s your call. I’m sure my cats will appreciate the money in the event of my untimely disappearance or death. And, as always, we do not want to die. Now, back to the show.

[SLIDE: Gozer the Gozerian, the Ghostbusters version, with Vinz Clortho and Zuul.]

G: HOW ARE MY LEVELS? TEST. TEST.

D: No, you don’t need to, uh… Fine, actually. Thank you for turning down the howling noise.

G: NO PROBLEM. JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN WE ARE BACK FROM THE BREAK.

D: We’re already… Uh, yes. We’re back in, uh, three, two, one…

G: MY NAME IS GOZER THE GOZERIAN, I AM THE ENTITY THAT IS SPEAKING NOW, AND MY PRONOUNS ARE XE AND XEM.

A: Neopronouns! That’s interesting!

G: THEY ARE ANCIENT SUMERIAN PRONOUNS.

A: Oh. Lovely.

L: Sweet, I don’t think we’ve had one of those before.

A: …and I’m not just saying that because this form you’ve taken is smoking hot.

G: THESE ARE VINZ CLORTHO AND ZUUL, WE DO NOT SPEAK MUCH, AND OUR PRONOUNS ARE WE AND US.

R: That’s a bit presumptuous.

A: And I am there for it! Are they, er, are “we” your pets, Lord Gozer, or is it more of a polycule?

G: YES.

A [thrilled]: I don’t think it’s going to solve anything, but this podcaster is definitely becoming more rigid!

D: Please don’t make me get the spray bottle, the control room is full of slime.

A [wistful]: “Control room,” what a lovely thought.

R: Are we gargoyles or grotesques?

G: WE ARE YOUR DOOM!

[thunder, lightning, gales of wind]

R: Oh.

G: AND WE IDENTIFY AS TERROR DOGS.

L: Aww. Tummy rubs.

G: SO, ARE ANY OF YOU GODS?

R: We are definitely gods. I misspoke before, and I apologize. We are all gods here, thanks.

A: We’re a regular pantheon! Is that a knockoff Rolex you’re wearing?

G: I ALSO HAVE A CAMERA.

A [awestruck]: Fuck.

G : IF YOU ARE THE GODS OF THIS WORLD THEN WE MUST FIGHT…

A [happily]: I promise I’ll lose!

G: …TO THE DEATH.

A: Oh. Nevermind. Damn.

R: This Wikipedia page badly needs updating.

G [with mild irony]: ARE ANY OF YOU GOING TO SHOOT AT ME DURING THE NEGOTIATION AND VOID THE TERMS OF THE DUEL?

[slight pause, frantic shuffling]

D: We don’t have any proton packs, do we?

A: I have a bit of cheese in my purse, and a Slimfast bar…?

D: Proton, not protein!

A: I KNOW, I’M JUST VERY NERVOUS!

R: I got this here laptop and a stapler, I guess. Shame nobody uses CRTs anymore, at least they accelerate particles…

L: Uh, no?

G: THEN, AS THIS IS YOUR WORLD, I CEDE THE FIRST PICK OF FORM TO YOU.

L [excited]: We get to pick our form?

D: Uh, I don’t think…

L: I mean, I’m totally a god, so I knew that. It’s just cool! I’m gonna be a ‘93 Nissan Lamassu!

D: Liam…

R [quietly]: We can’t actually pick our forms.

A [muttering]: I can, but it’s a bit of a process…

D [raising voice, trying to sound confident]: Um… We choose the form of an engineering disasters podcast!

G: WOULD YOU NOT PREFER THE FORM OF SOMETHING SLIGHTLY MORE POPULAR?

L: Ouch.

R [defiant]: No.

A: God, I want liposuction.

D: We’re good like this, Lord Gozer! Thanks!

G: VERY WELL. THEN I CHOOSE THE FORM OF AN ENGINEERING DISASTER.

A: Shit.

R: Makes sense.

L: Yeah, probably should’ve seen that coming.

D: I’m so sorry, you guys.

A: S’all right, Dev. You tried.

R: I died doing what I love… Podcasting and editing a Wikipedia page for accuracy. And I got to ride a high speed train made of meat.

L [raising voice]: Hey, Gozer! Which engineering disaster? There’s a lot of ‘em! You haven’t been back here for a while, buddy, we’ve had a few more fun ones.

R: Yeah, these billionaires got crushed in a submarine of their own making, that was fun…

A [hyperventilating]: Oh, God. Oh, God…

D: Rocz, shut the hell up!

[crinkling wrapper, sound of Alice self-soothing by eating a bit of cheese]

G: THAT DOES SOUND INTERESTING. MAY I BORROW YOUR LAPTOP AND HAVE A LOOK?

L [quickly]: No! Engineering disasters don’t have laptops!

R: Y2K…

D: Shut up!

G: CHOOSE THE FORM OF YOUR ENGINEERING DISASTER!

L: All right. This is it.

D: Nobody say anything. Nobody think anything! Play dead! Eventually, xe may get bored!

A: Like a grizzly bear?

D: Happy thoughts, Alice. Happy thoughts. Anything but an engineering disaster…

Part 6

[jlalafics]

OK I wanna know a few things...but that doesn't mean you're obligated to tell me what I wanna know. I just thought I'd ask.

Ok, question #1. How did you pick everyone's cars for the FF/THG crossover?? What was your thought process for that? 🤔

OK #2 How often do you take inspiration from your surroundings when you write a story? Do you enjoy inserting landmarks and local culture??

Just curious because I really enjoy reading your stories and want to know more about your whole writing style and your overall inspiration and process.

Thank you 😊

Hey love! First off, sorry this took so long!

Prepare for a lengthy response, due to a lengthy (reminder) discussion with Hubbs about why we chose the cars for TPONR.

#1. For Peeta, we chose the Skyline because Paul Walker's character (Brian) used them primarily in the Fast movies, and even owned one personally. Katniss, we chose the Integra because Mia (Jordana Brewster) drove one in the series. Personally, I like the Intergra. We decided on Haymitch's Barracuda because we wanted a classic American muscle car, an oldie but goodie like him. For Johanna, we saw her as a drifter like Katniss, but she's more orthodox in her technique. A car like Nissan 370-Z with a front engine, rear wheel drive works best for her, unlike Katniss' car which is a front engine, front wheel and is more of a challenge to drift with.

Gale, we picked the Dodge Viper because we thought of him as someone who would pick something that has all power but no handle. In Hubbs' words, a "big dick" car. Finnick was given the Shelby GT 500 because we thought of him as wanting something classical but a more updated version. He's a no frills, jack-of-all-trades driver and we wanted his car to reflect that. Annie, we wanted something flashy with no modifications. She used her car show modeling money and wanted something straight out of the showroom. Annie's not the best driver in the crew but she holds her own and can handle her Porsche 911 Turbo well. Thresh, we chose the Mazda RX-7 because it was something agile and we imagine as a driver, he'd be good with circuit driving, as well driving on curved roads (that a lot of SF hills have). We chose a Dodge Charger for Beetee because he is more technical and didn't want anything that he needed to modify. The car is what it is; for him, it's more about adding tech in it than fixing it up. Gloss and Brutus are essentially muscle men so they needed a car with quick maneuverability like the Toyota GR 86 to get away from any shady dealings.

#2. I take inspiration from my surroundings ALL the time. "Two Wrongs" is basically a love letter to San Francisco. I love giving readers a little slice of places I've been and experiences I've had because it makes my words real.

For example, Katniss is going to experience her very first lowrider cruise in the next part of TPONR.

Hope you enjoyed this very long rant.

Hugs love!

We had to pit or we were going to catch fire Ocon | RaceFans Round-up

In the round-up: Esteban Ocon explained the serious overheating problem which forced him out of the British Grand Prix early in the race. In brief Ocon avoided car fire by retiring from British GP Alpine’s Esteban Ocon potentially spared his team a large damage bill by retiring in the pits on lap 10 of the British Grand Prix. “It was a frustrating race. We had a hydraulic leak, so we had to box the car otherwise we are going to catch fire,” he said. “Had a decent start, but that was it from there. Unfortunately.” Ocon added there “is always some positives” to take away from a weekend like that. “There’s always things that we can carry forward. Hopefully we come back stronger in the next two before the break, and there is some some great stuff coming on the car so big hopes for us.” Formula E reveals full rookie practice line-up An additional practice session will take place at this weekend’s Rome E-Prix for ‘rookie’ drivers, functioning in much the same way that Formula E’s annual rookie test does. The full line-up was unveiled on Monday, and includes several high-profile racing figures. Two-times World Touring Car Cup title winner Yann Ehrlacher will drive for DS Penske, former Formula 1 driver Daniil Kvyat will take part for NIO 333, reigning DTM champion Sheldon van der Linde is in action for Jaguar, Nissan have called up their simulator driver Luca Ghiotto and Yifei Ye will be driving for Porsche. He normally races one of their Hypercars in the World Endurance Championship. F1 Academy driver gets 0.3s penalty The F1 Academy action at Monza last weekend was full of collisions and penalties, and none stranger than the 0.3 seconds that was added to Amna Al Qubaisi’s race time following the finish of race three. It cost her third place to Nerea Marti, but Al Qubaisi had actually taken third from Marti during the race via an off-track moment, and a subsequent Safety Car period that ran all the way to the chequered flag denied Al Qubaisi the chance to give back the place. A five-second penalty would be the most commonly seen penalty for such a pass, but that would have dropped Al Qubaisi to ninth given the closeness of the pack behind the Safety Car. The stewards therefore deemed an unprecedented 0.3s penalty to be the most appropriate way to return Marti to the podium. Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free Happy birthday!

How Important Is Digital Marketing in the Automotive Industry?

Although most vehicle purchases are still carried out in dealerships, the research that consumers conduct online beforehand is growing.

There is a vast amount of information online about products, including product specifications and customer reviews as well as comparisons between similar items from different manufacturers.

Consumers are exposed to marketing content throughout their buying process, and this exposure can impact the decisions they make before visiting a dealership.

Digital Marketing for the Automotive Industry enables business owners to easily promote their products and services, enabling them to be more competitive in the business.

3 days, 2 nights and 34 miles solo on the Outer Mountain Loop plus the Northeast Rim in Big Bend National Park 1/10-1/12/23

As you might already know, I took a seasonal job as a waitress at the Chisos Mountain Lodge in Big Bend National Park to save money and create some beautiful experiences in the outdoors. It has been a blast! I’ve been able to hike so much and really knock out a lot of goals in solo and distance hiking. The outer mountain loop is a 31.6 mile backpacking route that takes you up from the basin, through the chisos mountains, out and around the range, through the desert, back up into the mountains, and back down into the basin. This is the hike I came here to do.

After a couple months of getting my legs on the trails, as well as tackling more and more distance, I finally felt confident in my ability to complete the route alone.

Due to the distance of the route and the dry nature of the desert, staying hydrated was the biggest challenge to tackle. There are 2 water caches located on either end of the desert stretch, one at Homer Wilson Ranch, and the other off of the remote Juniper Canyon rd. I couldn’t get to this one before my hike because the road conditions require a high clearance vehicle, and y’all better believe I’m still rocking that busted Altima. “I been through the desert in a Nissan with no Bumper” (or whatever America said) So my only option was to pack the extra water, and cache at Homer Wilson, a good 24 miles from my starting point. I carried 7L of water and 2 coconut electroLit beverages. 2.5 lbs per liter. My pack was heavy! But I did what I had to do. Attaching soon a list of what I packed.

1/10/23 Day 1

I woke up around 5 am, without an alarm, and realized I had forgotten my headlamp at the hot springs the night before. This added 46 miles to my morning commute, some of which was on a rocky dirt road. I got the shit scared out of me by some horses that I actually spooked first. Lucky for me, my headlamp was there, right where I left it. I ran back to my car under the last of the moonlight and hauled 30 miles to the basin. I worked a breakfast shift at the lodge and got out around 10:30am. I had to leave this day because I only have 2 days off at a time. My first day of hiking was only 6 miles so I had a little time to kill. I decided to drive back to my trailer and look over all my camp stuff to see if there was anything else I should take. I ended up figuring out how to pack my tent, as I was originally planning not to. So glad I did!! Being solo can be spooky in the dark. It’s nice to have a little barrier. I meditated in my room for a bit after securing my final pack. I felt many things. Excited, nervous, happy, sad, lonely, empowered. I let every part of me be channeled into what I was about to do. Heading back up to the basin, I grabbed a Red Bull and some stoke from Sarah at the gas station. Shout out to the homie. I got back up in the mountains just before noon. I stretched, used the bathroom, and texted parents as well as some friends at the park about where I was going and when I should be back. The last thing I needed before heading out was a tool to loosen the bolt on my hiking pole, so I ran to the maintenance room and got what I needed. Finally, in all my nervous energy, I was ready to start!!! The basin was pretty slow and not many people were around, but still, I felt super awkward putting on my giant pack while a group of teenagers gaped at me from across the parking lot like, “what the hell is that chick about to go do?” I hurried off onto the trail.

Mile 1, 2 and 3 in order.

Like I said before, my pack was heavy, and the pinnacles trail is the steeper route to take up into the mountains. I had a good starting pace but I had to take many breaks. A pair of 2 other girls on the trail helped keep me going, we passed each other on alternating breaks. We agreed it was nice to share the suffering. Hiking isn’t easy for anyone, it’s always a challenge, and that’s why we do it.

I made it to pinnacles pass around 2pm and made a sandwich. I talked with some older folks about my route, different parks, hikes they’ve done, and other general oldhead hiker things. After lunch, they headed down, and I headed up to the Northeast rim. I filtered some water in boot canyon on the way.

I dropped my Patagonia fleece and backtracked a quarter mile to go get it. (This is the second time I’ve done this on trail, different occasions too, smdh. Feels like the universe is trying to teach me a lesson about attachment, I love that thing too damn much.) I got to my site, ER7, around 5pm and made dinner on the rim while bathing in the colorful sunset.

Back at my site, it was the moment I had looked forward to all day, Spliff:30. I enjoyed 1, did some writing and reading from Last of The Mohicans, smoked another, and pretty much passed out as soon as it was dark. The weather was very mild, I didn’t use any cold gear. I slept 12 hours on the hard ground with the wind and stars all around me.

Day 2

I woke with the rise of the sun and packed up in time to see it come up over the horizon, lighting up the desert and cliff walls below me. I started hiking from my campsite at 8:15am.

Tumblr won’t let me add anymore photos so continue on part 2 (next post)
