>>3585The creation of this chan was a lot of odd occurrences. People feeling threatened. Some fearmongering. Macil. A separate community that had sprung up around steam and skype as a precursor to discord that all agreed they wanted an imageboard instead of a discord. I like to think that this board wouldn't have happened without Dizzy/PSP, and that may not have been a bad thing, but at the same time, I see a lot of people pretty happy with the outcome. I think Moony would have been disappointing that his project fell through, but he also wouldn't have had to deal with all the awful drama that he has had to.

>>3592Fen and Moony had personal issues around the same time, and Macil refused to make the necessary changes with admin tools and effectively veto'd the idea, while Fen didn't have the energy or leadership capacity to just enact the changes without tech admin support. Macil would have let him get away with it, probably. Both made co-operation a pretty big pipe dream, no matter how much Fen wished it was otherwise.

Fiction is simply a mirror. I think the mirror has been set aside, and people refuse to look. It nevertheless needs to be held up again. If upon looking upon what they see, there are people who turn away in shame, then maybe they'll understand what needs to be changed.

>>3775Well, do you understand the purpose of cryptography, as well as the basics of quantum entanglement?
Quantum cryptography is essentially a method of encryption with keys that are particles that have undergone quantum entanglement. The keys are created in the process of sending the message. If the message is at any point observed during the process, the creation of the keys will fail, and the message will be destroyed. This, theoretically, will prevent eavesdropping on sensitive data, as well as potentially alert both the sender and the receiver that someone was attempting to listen in on them. This also means that the message cannot be copied. After the message would be received, a followup message would go to give the key to unlock the message that reached it's destination.
The practical application of the theory would result in a method of encryption that cannot be decoded outside of who it is meant for.
The problem I have lies in that current understanding of quantum physics is evolving, and what was once believed to be true has been proven false while exposing more questions. So for instance you cannot forcefully alter the state of one particle in a quantum entanglement and have it effect the other. If you force a change, you break the entanglement. Therefore you cannot use quantum entanglement for superluminal communication across vast distances as was once theorized. It's been debunked.
I may have gotten some of the details of quantum cryptography a bit wrong, but I think I got the overall point across even if some of the details aren't quite right. Those details are what I'm trying to make sure I get right going forward though.

>>3777Yes. Now I do not fully understand everything behind this, I'm not anywhere near educated enough to be able to go into the intricate details of the minutia of quantum entanglements, but if quantum physicists have attempted it and found that they can reliably detect when quantum entanglement is broken, I'm pretty okay with believing them.
To my basic understanding, it's much harder to entangle particles in the first place than it is to break that entanglement.

>>3779That is essentially the idea. Keep in mind that this method of encryption is only useful in situations where those communicating have otherwise verified each other's identities. This quantum key-distribution is simply a method of preventing eavesdropping during the act of sending the message. Preventing man in the middle attacks, basically.
Think of it like… true random number generation. Not something that a modern computer has run through a predetermined algorithm, but a number that is created through the use of a particle undergoing quantum entanglement in an environment. Keep in mind that even the simple act of observing something in its quantum state alters the state of the particle. So through quantum entanglement, a message that has been encrypted can have a key created for it that is good for decrypting it once. At which point since the quantum key has been used, it has been acted upon and thus has changed. This breaks the entanglement, and the received key is now useless.

>>3797Alright, thank you.
>>3799Well, then let me alleviate any concerns sensationalist media may utterly overstate threat levels of.
Scientists have created black holes before, notably in the CERN facility over in Europe. These black holes are harmless. They're created from the mass of microscopic objects. Black holes, given time, evaporate. The smaller the black hole, the faster it evaporates. They can only maintain themselves if they continue to accumulate mass from outside sources. If they can't accumulate enough mass fast enough, they dissipate. The amount of energy needed to create a black hole capable of inflicting significant damage to our planet, even going as far as to rip our planet to pieces, is beyond current science. The energy requirements are far higher than the total energy output of our entire civilization by orders of magnitude.
So, at the very least, you can rest easy knowing we won't accidentally make a black hole that kills us all.

>>3803Ah! No worries about me!

And as I under the black holes created by such experiments pop in and out of existence naturally, right? This is where I start getting fuzzy.

Well, the black holes aren't necessarily what I would call "natural," but they're a byproduct of the experiments. The primary purpose of CERN is to observe the effects of what happens to an object of mass when it's accelerated close to the speed of light. At least, that's what the extremely large particle accelerator is for.

In the universe at large, observable black holes are likely the result of white dwarves that exceeded the Chandrasekhar limit, likely through collision with some other massive object. This can cause the dwarf to explode, and collapse in on itself, forming a much larger, and long lived black hole.

new intro
“Major Sperm Protein (MSP) filaments are formed when MSP dimers assemble into left-handed subfilaments, two of which coil around each other to form a right-handed double helix.” Some variant of this general statement, in reference to a theory first proposed in Stewart et al. (1994), has appeared in many MSP-related papers over the years – often enough that most would take it as an undisputed fact. However, there are some significant discrepancies in the model itself that have never been resolved, as well as a nomenclature problem that makes it difficult to interpret what is actually being stated any time the model is invoked. The long-standing model is based on data compiled mostly from needle-like crystals of purified MSP as well as from low resolution electron micrographs of non-physiologically polymerized MSP filaments and filament assemblies. While there are many valid conclusions to be drawn from these studies, the notion that filaments are comprised of structurally distinct and functionally relevant subfilaments remains an unproven hypothesis. In the 23 years since its proposal, this model has never been revised, challenged, or unequivocally proven in subsequent structural studies (in part because no such studies focusing on organization at the filament level have been published). In addition, due to the frequency with which the statement is cited but not fully explained, a nomenclature problem has arisen wherein some researchers use the term “subfilament” in a manner analogous to how a “strand” may be used to refer to the long-pitch helix of actin, others use the term as originally described (that MSP filaments are constructed of coiled coils which can further assemble into coils of coiled coils), and still others use it to refer exclusively to the single-helical strands within crystals. Readers, in turn, are left to draw their own conclusions when no further context is provided. In this minireview, I will cover the conclusions that were reached, the data they were based on, the resulting model, the inconsistencies in the model, and one possible solution.
the rest of the paper
Filament Observations and Higher Order Structures
The crystal studies yielded a large amount of structural data, including the atomic structure of MSP, likely interfaces between monomers, and the parameters of crystallized subfilament helices. However, the earlier filament model was based on just a few of the crystal parameters (not the fully solved structure) along with several specific observations of filaments and filament assemblies. These observations are described in King et al. (1994), which builds on the foundation established in King et al. (1992).
Purified native Ascaris β-MSP was again induced to polymerize in ethanol, and, through variation of the ethanol concentration, the effect of ethanol polymerization was found to be both reversible and reconstitutable (King et al., 1994). Filaments exhibited a slightly irregular axial dot spacing that averaged to 11 ± 2 nm. Individual filaments were sometimes frayed at their ends, rendering the constituent subfilaments frequently apparent. Extending subfilaments sometimes followed a sinusoidal path, and no more than two subfilaments were ever observed extending from a frayed end, leading to the conclusion that two likely-helical subfilaments coil around each other and constitute a filament. Unidirectionally-shadowed platinum replicas of filaments exhibited diagonal striations with right-handedness. The spacing between striations (10 ± 1 nm) closely coincided with the measured axial dot spacing and indicated a subfilament pitch of approximately 20 nm (double the striation spacing) within filaments.
Larger assemblies termed “macrofibers” were also observed in ethanol preparations, and they were found with greater frequency as a function of incubation time prior to staining (King et al., 1994). Macrofibers contain 3 or more filaments coiled into a helical bundle along a left-handed helical track (as determined by unidirectional shadowing) and varied in diameter with the number of constituent filaments. Individual filaments often splayed out from the ends of macrofibers, making it possible to determine the number of constituent filaments per macrofiber, with three filaments being most common but as many as five being individually counted. In some cases, mats of parallel filaments were seen, in which filaments were packed side-by-side in the same manner as the rafts of recombinant C. elegans MSP142 described in Baker et al. (2002). The axial dot patterns of filaments within rafts were not in register with each other, indicating that the interactions between adjacent filaments were irregular.
Activated Ascaris sperm were deposited onto carbon-coated grids, confirmed to be crawling via light microscopy, demembranated with buffer containing Triton X-100, immediately fixed with glutaraldehyde, and negatively stained (King et al., 1994). Micrographs were acquired of the large, densely-packed filament structures that extend the pseudopod at the leading edge of the crawling sperm cell and constitute the bulk of the cytoskeleton, known as fiber complexes (described in Sepsenwol et al., 1989). In addition to isolated filaments extending from the dense structures, networks of crossed filaments, bundles, and coils were all observed (King et al., 1994).
Fourier-Bessel Reconstruction
Negatively-stained Ascaris β-MSP filaments polymerized in ethanol were chosen for further analysis based on their optical diffraction patterns (Stewart et al., 1994). Suitable filaments were digitized using an approximately 4 Å pixel size, digitally straightened where necessary, masked, apodized, and then further analyzed computationally. Computed Fourier transforms of filaments exhibited inconsistent reflections, though consistent layer lines were identified at spacings of approximately 22.5 nm, 11.3 nm, and 7.5 nm. Even these relatively consistent reflections exhibited variation, especially the second, which tended to be slightly longer for some filaments.
The layer lines were indexed and found to follow a helical selection rule of l = 3n + 8m, indicating 8 subunits in 3 helical turns of the genetic helix per repeat (Stewart et al, 1994). However, because filaments are made up of two subfilaments, this was instead interpreted as two out-of-phase helices, each having four units per turn (or consisting of every other subunit along the genetic helix). Subfilament were previously shown to coil around each other with right-handedness (King et al., 1994), so the layer line data was interpreted to coincide with a right-handed double helix, making the originally identified genetic helix left-handed.
A three-dimensional reconstruction was generated through Fourier-Bessel inversion using layer line data that had been averaged from six filaments (Stewart et al, 1994). A threshold was chosen to emphasize the subfilament paths, and at this threshold, the subfilaments were not seen to be in contact with each other at all. At lower density thresholds, connections appeared at lower radius between subfilaments, but this data was only referenced in publication and not shown. Cylindrical density projections through the reconstruction were interpreted such that the subfilaments themselves were helical with left-handedness, meaning that filaments are a right-handed coil made up of two left-handed subfilament coils; this was based on an interpretation of the groove that separates the two subfilaments, which was interpreted to vary in direction between high and low radius.
The Model
As previously mentioned, orthorhombic MSP crystals were interpreted as being closely-packed left-handed helical subfilaments containing 16 subunits in 5 helical turns of 9 nm pitch along the unit cell c-axis (Stewart et al., 1994), two subfilaments were seen to constitute a right-handed double-helical filament (King et al., 1994), and cylindrical density projections of the Fourier-Bessel filament reconstruction showed writhing of weakly-associated subfilaments (Stewart et al., 1994). Thus, a model was proposed, wherein two independently-coiled, left-handed subfilaments twist around each other to form a right-handed double helix. Within this double helix, made up of two helical subfilaments, the interactions between subfilaments were thought to be irregular and generally out of phase, as each subunit in the subfilament coil exposed a different face to its neighbors on the opposite subfilament. This is incredibly unusual and unlike most other helical filaments, in which normally every subunit experiences the same molecular interactions with its neighbors. Most of the MSP subunits per this model would have no interaction with the subunits on the opposing subfilament, but some few properly-aligned subunits (approximately 1 in 8) were presumed sufficient to hold a filament together (Stewart et al., 1994). This weak interaction seemed reasonable given that many filaments in negative stain preparations exhibited frayed ends (King et al., 1994). Some of the unproductively-aligned subunits were thought to have their interaction faces pointing outward, allowing filaments to assemble into macrofibers through outward propagation of the same interactions that bind filaments internally.
Inconsistencies
As mentioned, the crystal data has yielded an unambiguous representation of MSP – as a monomer, as a dimer, and also how it can interact with its neighbors along various interfaces. Unfortunately, the filament model was published before any of the atomic detail was known, so the filament model incorporated only the helical parameters of the orthorhombic crystals. The early crystal data revealed that subfilaments in orthorhombic crystals are left handed single-helices. Also, from the frayed ends of filaments, it was presumed that subfilaments are helical in isolation. However, the notion that subfilaments are independently coiled and subsequently supercoil into filaments comes almost entirely from the cylindrical density projections which, unfortunately, appears to have been misinterpreted.
The hallmark of helical polymerization is that every subunit in the helix experiences the same interactions with its neighbors and thus propagates these interactions along the helix. Figure 7 of Stewart et al. (1994) shows just such a scenario, in which, at any radius, each subunit experiences the same interactions with its neighbors. This includes the left-handed genetic helix (which includes all the subunits in both subfilaments) going from left to right (reversed because the view is from the inside of the filament), the right-handed 2-start helix going from bottom-right to upper-left; and also along a predicted left-handed 3-start helix going from bottom-left to top-right with a very long pitch. Variations in the directionality of the sinusoidal path of the subfilaments at different radii is irrelevant because, at any given radius, all subunits and interfaces exhibit the same directionality.
Second, the presumed functional significance of subfilaments and macrofibers may simply be a consequence of the non-physiological polymerization technique that was used at the time. The in vitro motility assay described in Italiano et al. (1996), in which fractionated activated sperm cell lysates are supplemented with ATP, demonstrated that polymerization could be reconstituted using a subset of cellular components under near-physiological conditions. This generates a protrusive force capable of pushing membrane vesicles in a manner analogous to actin comet tails as seen in the case of Listeria or ActA-coated beads, and this system has been the basis of much of the subsequent biochemical and biophysical work on the MSP system in Ascaris. More recent electron cryo-microscopy of physiologically-polymerized Ascaris MSP, using a delocalized variant of the in vitro motility assay, has provided no evidence in support of supercoiled macrofibers being produced under near-physiological conditions (in press). It is possible that macrofibers are formed preferentially in vivo, as they were demonstrated in King et al. (1994), though given the relatively high background, low resolution, and possible artifacts induced by the sample preparation, it is impossible to say whether they are physiologically relevant. Additionally, over the course of many thousands of cryo-micrographs, there has been no demonstrable and unambiguous occurrence of either frayed filament ends or subfilaments in isolation. It is therefore likely (as shown by the interactions revealed through crystallography) that, aside from dimerization, the subfilament interaction represents the strongest binding interface and thus will precipitate out of solution preferentially when MSP dimers are exposed to ethanol, and it may also be the case that filling in the gaps in a subfilament (in order to maximize solvent exclusion) fills out the rest of the filament, leaving the frayed/exposed ends once the MSP in solution has been exhausted. Longer incubation times could thus cause the already-formed filaments to aggregate into macrofibers to further maximize exclusion.
And finally, when considering single-helical subfilaments, it is important to note that a genetic helix contains both a left-handed helical track as well as a right-handed one. For example, a right-handed twist of 90° is equivalent to a left-handed twist of 270°. In the case of MSP, this means that subfilaments are both left-handed and right-handed. The insistence that subfilaments are left-handed, only left-handed, and left-handed under all circumstances, has likely been the reason that no atomic model of MSP has been published to date. Bullock et al. (1998) mentions that the right-handed helix is the physiologically relevant one, and it also mentions that the β-strand-β-strand interface of subfilaments is flexible, but unfortunately these key findings were not followed to their logical conclusion. We have therefore generated an atomic model of the MSP filament that takes these previous findings into consideration, a model in which the filament is subject to typical helical interactions and is not a coiled coil as previously hypothesized (in press).
I don't have a real conclusion.

Honestly the best part was when 'mother hen' domme picked me to do some sensation stuff with her, really sharp pins rolling over my back - loved that. but all the beatings - which was 90% of what was going on - I just couldn't get into, and after about an hour I could tell that it just wasn't for me. another guy obviously felt similarly. The second best part was when a domme made me a bikini bottom out of rope - that was pretty cool. The third best part was giving a lady a full body massage. and I realized that one of the dommes was someone I had met previously but didn't recognize - turns out she had some beef with one of the only people in the community whose events I ever attended, so she was not too happy with me being there by extension, and she basically told me I shouldn't be there at all because I wasn't really into it and had taken a slot that someone else could have used. told her that it was a learning experience and that I wouldn't be attending again but that didn't seem good enough for her, since I had personally prevented her friend from attending. I stayed longer than I wanted because of a really heavy rain (was there about 4 hours total), but after it let up, I said goodbye to people and left

>>3990>>3991I figure maybe you could take some Starlight friendship lessons and make them Mikie friendship lessons. Starlight certainly wasn't suddenly reformed when she changed hairstyles and became "new Starlight", she had to fuck up, and have her friends help her through her fuckups.

>>3995Getting streams together is hard. I'd just do it with Mikie alone if I had to, I've been in the mood to watch more MLP for a while.
>>3996Starlight is cute and funny and a good person, but she's only human. The MLP episode format gives lots of time to show a character's flaws. In the eyes of one on the outside looking in, those flaws are endearing!
You need to look at yourself some of the ways you look at Starlight, or at least understand that other people can see you that way. Stop being so hard on yourself and give yourself the benefit of the doubt.

>>4014 she can mean the world to you without causing you pain.
there was a phenomenon back around the time of the Renaissance / late middle ages, where young people would read an inspiring story (often about something like unrequited love as I recall) and be so moved by it that they would kill themselves. because they couldn't experience their idealized experience in their own lives, they threw away whatever good things they already had going for themselves.

A good way of going about it might not be different from what Wheat seems to have done, though maybe a bit less intense. Find someone who is largely content subbing, who enjoys submitting to you in most cases but on occasion will wrench control away for a bit and turn the tables. And if you end up face down with lips lightly brushing your ear whispering sweet nothings, maybe just let it happen on occasion. Make sure you get them back though afterwards.

Alright! Let's see if I can hammer all of these out.
You're not crazy Mikie you are drunk. I don't know the state of boats psyche but I'm fairly certain you are more sane than I am. You feel a strong emotional connection with a character who in many ways represents you. That is sort of the point!
Chrome is right Boats, there is a difference between being a Dom and being abusive. That kind of relationship is like a rollercoaster, it should be thrilling not dangerous (physically and emotionally).
>>4032I'd lean towards the former. Considering that they seem to be interested in receiving love and acceptance as a personal philosophy there is almost no emotional response to a sincere display of love and acceptance.

because you're posting starlight
which is fine, and rather than also post starlight, I wanted to post somepony else.

Before Starlight was a thing, back a while ago when I was active in Love & Advice 2.0, I posted as Twilight, hence why I have so many unicorn Twilight pics.

I'd hit them for saying that. I'm not too fond of what the people they're advocating hitting say, but I don't think they deserve to be hit for it. Saying Texas "deserves" what's happening right now is pretty twisted though, and I think deserves a sharp slap across the jaw.

>>4289Living with a communist meme fountain, I know very well that he's at heart a ruthless capatalist, but is using hyperbole to call out some of the bullshit from the far right (and the center right jesus christ stop following Trump on everything-Trip). I'm sure once he feels less threatened, he'll feel less radical. But the only reason he feels threatened is a bunch of people are threatening him because they feel threatened by people similar to him? None of the people on either side are very committed. All those bernie people going to Trump for the memes. Thony changing the flag of MLPchan a few times because of his touch and go relationship with "chan-communism"

>>4438Well… I feel that horror can be considered a sub-genre of suspense. The goal of suspense it to elicit a particular emotional response in your audience, in this case one of growing unease. Now I haven't seen very many horror movies, but I do think that has been a major shortcoming of the flops I have seen. It feels more like they have a list of tropes to make it a horror movie, and they fit the appearance of one, but not the intention. The intention often feels more like a drama or an action/adventure film that lacks the development required for the response in their respective genres. A more cynical view would say that they are trying to create franchises rather than good movies, but I'm not certain that is the case. The movie is not
constructed with the idea of suspense or horror in mind. It is constructed to make a movie first, that fits a certain preconceived framework that makes it look like a horror film.

>>4439I think you hit the underlying issue, in that they're trying to kick off a franchise instead of making a good standalone piece. Franchises rule the day at the box office in our time, franchises make boatloads of cash with a dedicated following.
Notably there have been a couple good suspense movies that were made to be their own thing, and attempts to spawn a franchise off them failed miserably.

>>4440I think another aspect is that few studios will pick up a horror film that can't be easily "pitched" as such. To sell it to the producers a horror film needs to look like itself at a quick glance. Being so easily recognizable is bad for good suspense, and it is hard to write good horror without a backbone of suspense.

This is taking way longer than I expected… think I'm going to take a nap now, but I've got a few corresponding figures to post
The MSP Subfilament Structure is Right-Handed
In preparation for modeling an MSP filament structure that is consistent with the compiled data reviewed in [in press], we first set out to generate comparative MSP subfilament models using the crystal structures and helical parameters derived from earlier studies (Bullock et al., 1996; Bullock et al., 1998; Baker et al., 2002). MSP dimers were aligned and oriented relative to the subfilament axis such that subsequent dimers were consistent with their relative positions within the published crystals. To our great surprise, both C. elegans MSP142 (PDB: 1GRW, Baker et al., 2002) and A. suum C59S/T90C β-MSP (PDB: 2MSP, Bullock et al., 1998), representing the two solved MSP crystal forms that include the antiparallel β-strand-β-strand interface within the asymmetric unit, exhibited unambiguous right-handedness [images below]. The right-handed track yields 8 dimers in 5 turns of approximately 9 nm and is also responsible for the strongest reflections observed in orthorhombic crystals. Although this symmetry was previously understated and merely alluded to in Bullock et al. (1998) as being the physiologically relevant symmetry, the right-handed helical symmetry is of such critical importance that the previously-emphasized and oft-cited left-handed symmetry can functionally ignored. In fact, the left-handed symmetry simply defines the gaps in density along the groove formed between pairs of MSP dimers along the subfilament.

Cross-eyed perspective stereo side-view of ribbon model subfilaments generated using recombinant C. elegans MSP142 (PDB: 1GRW) using helical parameters from Baker et al., 2002. A 57.1 Å rise per subunit was coupled with a right-handed twist of 235°. Residues 112-119, corresponding to the antiparallel β-strand-β-strand interface that links dimers within subfilaments, have been colored blue and link dimers along the right-handed track. The subfilament axis passes inside the innermost strand of each immunoglobulin fold, which is also the strand that contains residues 112-119. Dimers exhibit an out-of-plane tilt of 3° and are rotated 16.5° relative to the subfilament axis, positioning the β-strand-β-strand interface off-axis and allowing the subfilament axis to pass through all subunits. Generated using UCSF Chimera.

>>4447 is the proof that it's right-handed, for anyone still in doubt, because as you go "up" the subfilament toward you, the density runs counterclockwise. Were you able to see them in 3D? It's cross-eyed stereo, not wall-eyed stereo. You just have to cross your eyes and merge the images in the middle; it's quite easy once you learn how to do it. In short, this is flies in the face of 23 years of common knowledge, but it's actually more important because it's the basis of part 2, which I'm about to start working on. Also, my nap turned into sleeping all night again.

>>4558 The thing that I find most baffling, is that they gave the helical symmetries in the old papers, say they subfilaments are "left-handed" in the same papers, meanwhile the symmetry they just described is the right-handed one. and other times they just (purposefully?) fail to say the handedness. They were either completely oblivious or just trying to cover their own asses, or maybe both. Were there any specific questions you had? If so, I might need to answer them.
Also I fucked up the symmetries slightly so I had to spend 4 hours fixing the images. The changes are very slight and don't effect the punchline, but it's like a 1 degree out of plane tilt instead of 3 degrees and the twist was off a bit.

>>4567 thank you for that :) If someone who isn't an expert in the field can understand it, then I think it's pretty solidly written/explained. the corollary to that: please stop me if there's stuff that doesn't make sense so I can explain it more clearly.
this was the text portion edited to reflect the changes that were made this morning and expanded a bit:
In preparation for modeling an MSP filament structure that is consistent with the compiled data reviewed in [in press], we first set out to generate comparative MSP subfilament models using the crystal structures and helical parameters derived from earlier studies (Bullock et al., 1996; Bullock et al., 1998; Baker et al., 2002). MSP dimers were aligned and oriented relative to the subfilament axis such that subsequent dimers were consistent with their relative positions within the published crystals. To our surprise, both C. elegans MSP142 (PDB: 1GRW, Baker et al., 2002) and A. suum C59S/T90C β-MSP (PDB: 2MSP, Bullock et al., 1998), representing the two solved MSP crystal forms that include the antiparallel β-strand-β-strand interface within the asymmetric unit, exhibited unambiguous right-handedness [images below]. The right-handed track yields 8 dimers in 5 turns of approximately 9 nm and is also responsible for the strongest reflections observed in orthorhombic crystals. Although this previously-understated right-handedness was alluded to in Bullock et al. (1998) as being the physiologically relevant symmetry, the right-handed helical symmetry is of such critical importance that the previously-emphasized and oft-cited left-handed symmetry can be functionally ignored as it is merely a misattribution of the right-handed symmetry. In fact, the left-handed symmetry, 8 dimers in 3 turns of pitch 15 nm, simply defines the gaps in density along the groove formed between dimer pairs along the subfilament.
The helix axis passes through the innermost strand of the immunoglobulin folds of all subunits in the subfilament configuration, and thus a rotation of dimers coupled with a slight out-of-plane tilt allows the antiparallel β-strand-β-strand interfaces, corresponding to residues 112-119 of each molecule of MSP, to interact off axis and link subsequent dimers within the chain. This was observed both in the case of A. suum C59S/T90C β-MSP, for which a 58.0 Å rise per subunit required a dimer rotation of 17° coupled with an out-of-plane tilt of 1.5°, and also for C. elegans MSP142, in which a 57.1 Å rise required a rotation of 16° and an out-of-plane tilt of 1°. This imparts a very slight nonpolarity to subfilaments, as the rotational axis of dimers is not truly perpendicular to the subfilament axis. This slight out-of-plane tilt can also be seen in the subfilament models generated and published in earlier studies (Bullock et al., 1998 Fig. 1 a.; Baker et al., 2002 Figure 6).

Along those same lines, the postdocs in the lab with wife and kids would also stay much later than necessary, just messing around online.

don't want to overwhelm you, but here's some stuff I've been working on if you feel up to it
Two loosely wound MSP subfilaments, stacked on top of each other, define an MSP filament
MSP dimers within filaments are positioned according to the helical selection rule l = 3n + 8m, indicating 8 subunits in 3 helical turns of the genetic helix per repeat (Stewart et al., 1994). With a directionality confirmed by metal shadowing (King et al., 1994), the eight dimers along the genetic helix are thus related to each other by a left-handed twist of 135° coupled with a rise of 28.1 Å(or 225/8 Å). However, this metal shadowing, as well as a filament cylindrical density projection (Stewart et al., 1994, Figure 7) and Fourier-Bessel reconstruction (Stewart et al., 1994, Figure 5), all indicate that the densities which constitute a filament are best described by a right-handed double helix – essentially that two subfilament coil with right handedness to make a filament. Considering the subunits along a single subfilament in the filament configuration, or every other subunit along the genetic helix, this corresponds to a rise of 56.3 Å (or 225/4 Å) coupled with a right-handed twist of 90°.
Thus we return to the comparisons with crystallized subfilaments, as a rise of 56.3 Å per subunit in the case of filaments is obviously on par with the observed rise per subunit seen in crystals, both in the case of A. suum C59S/T90C β-MSP (58.0 Å) and also for C. elegans MSP142 (57.1 Å). However, it is important to note that subfilament symmetries are not directly applicable to the filament configuration for two reasons: First, in the case of subfilaments, residues 112-119, which define the antiparallel β-strand-β-strand interface, extend away from the subfilament axis and link dimers via contacts at relatively high radius. This configuration is incompatible with MSP dimers in filaments because, unlike subfilaments, dimers in filaments are not located on the helix axis. That is, if the β-strand-β-strand interfaces are located at high radius around filaments, on dimers which are all located off axis, then the interfaces will not be in contact with each other and thus could not be responsible for linking dimers within the filament’s constituent subfilaments. As the β-strand-β-strand interface is the second-strongest binding interface observed between MSP molecules in crystals (second only to the dimerization interface), it seems very unlikely that subunits within filaments would be oriented such that these interfaces are not in contact with each other. We therefore conclude that these interfaces must be located at relatively low radius. Second, the right-handed twist of 225° seen in subfilaments is substantially higher than the 90° rotation of subunits in dimers.
We reconcile these incompatibilities by twisting dimers about the flexible β-strand-β-strand interface to achieve a 90° right-handed twist and subsequently aligning subunits into register within the filament helix. Using the previously described parameters, dimers in filaments may be brought into register by removing the out-of-plane tilt (apparently unnecessary since the helix axis does not pass through subunits), reducing the twist about the dimer’s rotational axis from approximately 16° to 4°, and placing the innermost chain within the immunoglobulin folds of dimers 2 Å off the helix axis [image below]. Applying helical parameters to MSP dimers aligned in this manner then allows for the generation of individual subfilaments (56.3 Å rise per subunit with a right-handed twist of 90°) or whole filaments (28.1 Å rise per subunit with a left-handed twist of 135°) [images below].

Cross-eyed perspective stereo view of two ribbon model dimers of recombinant C. elegans MSP142 (PDB: 1GRW). The filament axis is represented by a yellow arrow. Residues 112-119, corresponding to the antiparallel β-strand-β-strand interface that links dimers within subfilaments, have been colored blue. The reference dimer is aligned according to the best fit as determined for filaments, with the 16° dimer rotation seen in C. elegans MSP142 subfilaments reduced to 4° and with the out-of-plane tilt removed. The filament axis passes inside the dimer rather than through it. Top: A second dimer relative to the first using the subfilament helix parameters of Baker et al., 2002. Bottom: Relative position of the second dimer after a left-handed rotation of 135°, reducing the initial 225° rotation to 90°, removal of the out-of-plane tilt, and correcting for rotation of the dimer.

>>4731 I didn't see the discussion you had with him. From the times I've talked with him, I get the impression that he just wants to be acknowledged as being right. e.g. I've talked with him about Buddhism before, and when I was simply asking questions, he seemed much more open about it. When in the past I said "that's a good idea but…" he'd double down. In this case, I think the fact that I disagreed with him on some fundamental issues caused him to go (at least in my opinion) on the attack - since he wasn't able to change my mind, he was doing everything possible to delegitimize what I'd said, to the point of pretending I'd said something else entirely, at least in my view. Maybe I'm being unfair to him, but also the way he was arguing didn't seem… respectful. I mean, I don't mind if he can prove me wrong, and he doesn't have to be polite to do that necessarily, but he seemed to take it really personally. Again, that's just my take on it, and I am admittedly at least somewhat biased.
>>4732 That's understandable. That's been the reason I don't engage with Manley very often, but maybe I'm being unfair to him.
>>4733 Oh, well I'm glad! I can't say I've exactly turned my life around since I started listening to him, but his message (especially of personal responsibility) has resonated with me. I feel like I'm at least somewhat moving in the right direction now, where before I was headed literally nowhere.

>>4734I would agree with the doubling down description. In my talk with him, he seemed to take offense when I pushed the fact that in mine, and the minds of most in AI development, a fully "sentient" AI is something fundamentally different. I was refuting his claim that an AI was the next step in evolution, and an advancement of "cosmic intelligence," and instead put forth that to consider AI as the same part of our own development is a falsehood. That instead of being an advancement of ourselves, it is the start of an entirely new path and form of "life." That even if we could adequately communicate we would fundamentally have more in common with a daisy than we would an AI. Therefore to attribute certain things like feeling "love," "hate," or really any human emotion to such a being is not really applicable. In the end he just entrenched himself in that AI will either destroy us or make us pets because as the next step in evolution it will be superior. At that point I just left since I don't think he was even trying to consider what I was saying.
I'll admit that the Biblical lectures interest me. I grew up around Benedictine monks, and they instilled in me an interpretative viewpoint on the Bible. Outside looking in, I know that seems contradictory, but I didn't know a single monk who was a Biblical literalist. They always emphasized that there were lessons to be learned from passages, but to not take them literally. If my initial impressions of Peterson are correct, I think he's someone who advocates for something similar… this is off listening to him for about ten minutes, mind you. Let me know if I'm off the mark.

>>4735 That sounds like an average discussion with Harmonyhoof. :P
Wow, monks? That's pretty surprising. I grew up in the Bible Belt, had it reinforced by family/tradition, and just sort of accepted it as being true, until I started to learn things in school that just didn't make sense. When my grandmother died many years ago, I finally decided I'd be a good Catholic (which I wasn't since there wasn't even a Catholic church for probably 100 miles and I'd never been to one since my baptism) and read the Bible. Well, I made it about as far as Deuteronomy before I'd come to the conclusion that it was a load of nonsense and that everything based upon it was thus nonsense. I'd always considered the 'interpretive' viewpoint to be a pointless excuse to justify a meaningless work of fiction, but I've pretty much done a 180 on that stance since I started watching the biblical series.
and yes, I'd say that seems pretty accurate as far as Peterson's take on things - I don't think he takes any of it literally, but he says it's 'real' in a sort of metaphysical sense and focuses a great deal on it in relation to human evolution - both species and cultural.

>>4737Yeah, that was the last time I engaged with him. I probably won't voluntarily again.
It may surprise you, but in terms of Christian denominations, Catholics have become the progressives. Pope John Paul II was very socially progressive and helped to bring the church into the modern age. Pope Francis is currently doing things like openly embracing scientific concepts such as evolution, or the big bang theory. As far as two days ago Francis indicated he was in support of same-sex civil unions under the law. Sure he can't quite get away with saying "marriage," but the sentiment is still there I think. But under the last three popes, an interpretive viewpoint of the bible has flourished under Catholicism. It's certainly still important and holy, but it's not the be-all end-all. They emphasize to try and learn and live by its teachings to be a good and kind person, not take it as absolute fact.
Well I'm glad I wasn't completely off then. It does seem interesting and I'll probably start slogging through them this coming week.

Although this configuration [one I showed earlier] satisfies the helical parameters which were previously observed, it does not satisfy other important observations regarding MSP filaments. Specifically, this configuration results in a filament with a diameter of only 55 Å, substantially narrower than filaments observed via electron microscopy. Second, dimers are packed so tightly that the hollow filament core is filled. And finally, there are no appreciable gaps in density between the subfilaments. To more accurately model the reconstruction from Stewart et al, 1994, we offset dimers from the filament axis by 13 Å and reoriented them with respect to the filament axis. This resulted in a filament exhibiting a hollow core with an inner diameter of 17 Å (26 Å to the polypeptide backbone), an outer diameter of 81 Å (74 Å to the outermost loop of the polypeptide backbone), with dimers rotated 23° relative to the filament axis. This is highly consistent with the approximately 28 Å diameter core seen in cross-sectional density projections, as well as the 71 Å outer diameter of the highly-thresholded Fourier-Bessel reconstruction (Stewart et al, 1994).

In this orientation, with the MSP dimers located farther from the filament axis, the distances between dimers is increased by approximately 3 Å. This corresponds to a length of approximately 2 amino acids along a polypeptide backbone, and, indeed, a corresponding shift is observed within the relative positions of the ribbon models along the individual subfilaments. The more compact models exhibit the same relative interactions as seen in subfilament crystals, with residues 112-119 from both dimers interacting across the antiparallel β-strand-β-strand interface. When dimers are offset by 13 Å, residues 118 and 119 are shifted out of range of the opposing β-strand. In crystals, Asp112 interacts with Asn119, but once shifted, Asp112 instead interacts with the α-amino of Arg117, and the shift of two amino acids ensures that the relative positions of the hydrogen bond pairs are maintained. Thus it appears that the 8 amino acid -long hydrogen-bond-mediated antiparallel β-strand-β-strand interface observed in crystals is reduced to a shorter 6 amino acid -long interface in the case of filaments.

>>4883That very well could be as well. Also I don't use Fetlife. I let it happen organically or not at all. Depending on context I broadcast, or keep it under wraps. Pair that with, well, I'm not
looking. It becomes a situation of a sub having to impress
me for anything to happen. I come across as perhaps the typical aloof dom because I actually
am aloof. Maybe that has something to do with it. Still, I reject more than I accept. I don't know how much sense I'm making right now. Fatigue is beginning to set in. I have to stay up for a bit though.
That is unfortunate, but you seem to be getting a handle on it now at least.
I mean, for me it's in part that I like to tailor things to whoever I'm doing it with. That requires a lot of prep time as I get to know them and what is best suited for them. I can't do that with some schmuck I just met and can't even definitively say I like or not.

>>4889Honestly, depends on the person. There are times where it's fun to do it through an exertion of will to be sure. From others I want a more consistent submission once I've got them. Part of that though is to establish some consistency. So if someone who typically makes a "fight" out of it gives in too easily, or someone who is normally subservient is overly resistant it tells me there's something up and we should talk.
I'm sure there's a term for it in the scene, but I call that a feint. It's like playing cat-and-mouse. Sometimes I let the mouse run a little bit.

There's been a distinct lack of [hurricane] this evening. It seems to be all around us. If we were a needle, then the storm has maneuvered itself around us so as to force us to thread it. I'm a little disappointed after all the hype.

>>4896 It's always useful to refine one's thoughts, so yes indeed.
Conceptually there were two problems: why would it take this more open configuration, and how would the double helix stay in its relative position (not bang into itself). The answer to the first is essentially molecular clamps at the outside that lock it into place. The second is a weak interaction of the same type that's irregular, and is responsible for all of the problems that have prevented us from determining the structure previously. funny when things fall into place like that.
It's not past us yet. It's just… around us. I'm sure it'll effect us at some point, but as for now it's just incredibly quiet. Yeah, I hope they're all ok.

some new information has come to light!
In this orientation, with the MSP dimers located farther from the filament axis, the distances between dimers is increased by approximately 3 Å. This corresponds to a length of approximately 2 amino acids along a polypeptide backbone, and, indeed, a corresponding shift is observed within the relative positions of the ribbon models along the individual subfilaments. The more compact representative models exhibit the same relative interactions as seen in subfilament crystals, with residues 112-119 from both dimers interacting across the antiparallel β-strand-β-strand interface. When dimers are offset by 13 Å, residues 118 and 119 are shifted out of range of the opposing β-strand. In crystals, Asp112 interacts with Asn119, but once shifted, Asp112 could interact with the α-amino of Arg117 and/or potentially form a salt bridge with Arg116. For the other constituents of the interface strands, the shift of two amino acids ensures that the relative positions of the hydrogen bond pairs are maintained along the adjacent polypeptide backbones. The relative positions of the outer loop regions also bring Asp98 into proximity with both Arg39 and Arg40. The two such interactions per dimer:dimer interface, located at the outermost loops and at high radius within filaments, could be responsible for additional salt bridges, effectively snapping dimers into position in this more open configuration. The innermost loop regions also appear to be stabilized in part by a hydrophobic pocket formed by 7 amino acids from each monomer, including Gly113, Met114, and Val115 from the β-strand-β-strand interface along with Val4, Pro5, Pro6, and Gly7 from the highly mobile N-termini. Thus it appears that, in the case of the subfilaments that constitute filaments, the 8 amino acid -long hydrogen-bond-mediated antiparallel β-strand-β-strand interface observed in crystals may be reduced to a shorter 6 amino acid -long interface, perhaps preferentially due to the hydrophobic pocket formed between dimers, and with dimers stabilized in this more open configuration through additional salt bridges at the filament periphery.

the final piece of the puzzle:
As indicated by the Fourier-Bessel reconstruction in Stewart et al. 1994, the gaps between subfilaments are substantial. However, there do appear to be likely interaction sites between subfilaments in the form of salt bridges between loop regions on nearby MSP molecules, and in fact, every single MSP monomer has a potential binding partner on the opposite subfilament. For example, the 13 residue loop regions that link strands e and f in C. elegans MSP142 are located 12 Å apart when measuring between the polypeptide backbones using their orientations within the helically-symmetrized crystal structure. This is roughly three times the distance over which salt bridges can form. However, these loop regions have been shown, via NMR, to be relatively mobile in solution (Haaf et al., 1998). It is therefore plausible that the loop regions extend across the gap to link subfilaments to each other. Obvious candidates for forming a salt bridge include Arg88, which marks the beginning of loop f, with either Glu82 or Asp83, which are both contained in the loop region.

starting the Discussion
Our new model seems very plausible in the case of MSP142, but a good model should also have predictive capabilities, and so, our prediction based on the C. elegans MSP142 filament model is that the residues responsible for the interactions described in this paper should be highly conserved within MSP isoforms. In comparing the residues identified as being of major structural significance within filaments, we see a remarkable level of conservation between different MSP isoforms at these loci (Smith et al., 1998). Glu82, Asp83, and Arg88, which we identify as being likely candidates for tethering subfilaments, are fully conserved between all known isoforms, spanning A. suum, C. elegans, D. viviparous, O. volvulus, and G. rostochiesis. Similarly, Arg40 and Asp98, which likely stabilize subfilaments via salt bridges at high radius, are fully conserved among all known isoforms. Nearby Arg39, which was also identified as a possible salt bridge candidate at this location, is conserved across all isoforms except in the case of G. rostochiesis. In this case, two of the three isoforms replace it with another positively-charged amino acid, lysine, making it a suitable replacement for forming salt bridges at this location. The members of the antiparallel β-strand-β-strand interface have previously been pointed out as being almost fully conserved, and the other members of the hydrophobic pocket we’ve identified in this model (Val4, Pro5, Pro6, Gly7) are also fully conserved except in the case of G. rostochiesis. In G. rostochiesis, Val4 is replaced with another nonpolar amino acid, leucine, and Gly5 is, in 2 of the 3 known isoforms, replaced with acidic glutamic acid, making it the only instance of anything other than a nonpolar residue at this position.
The interactions responsible for stabilizing dimers in filaments, as described in this paper, were investigated by using the crystal structure of C. elegans MSP142 with residues in their previously solved conformations. Although the solved structures of both C. elegans MSP142 and A. suum C59S/T90C β-MSP fit nicely into the model, it is important to recognize, first, that conformational changes would be necessary to resolve the minor clashes between residues at the dimer interfaces along subfilaments, and indeed that such conformational changes are both likely and to be expected given the previously demonstrated mobility of the loops regions and of the N-terminus of MSP (Haaf et al., 1998). Our model also relies on the elongation of the ef loop to bridge the gap between subfilaments, and this has some important implications of its own.

final paragraph of the discussion:
As previously reviewed (in press), the coil-of-coils filament model was based on two specific misinterpretations and the subsequent incorporation of these misinterpretations into a unified model of MSP structural hierarchy. In reviewing the structural literature on MSP, the most surprising thing of all is that the coil-of-coils model had never previously been revised or called into question, even as evidence mounted against it. Indeed, it seems that the obviously contradictory evidence was simply reinterpreted to support the model, rather than the model changing to better reflect the evidence. In this paper, we have presented an alternative model that we believe not only better represents the previously published structural data on MSP but also provides a plausible molecular basis to explain the filament structure of MSP. Additional research would be necessary in order to determine whether the identified residues and interfaces are actually necessary to maintain filament structure. Thus, we admonish that this is simply a plausible model and that this model is and indeed should be subject to revision as new data arises, whether that data is in support or refutation of it.
there are a few other paragraphs I need to write before this one, but I thought I'd work backwards
No.4988
Conceptually, our model can be described as two continuous density (subfilament) coils, loosely stacked on top of each other, and tethered to each other via the ef loop regions of the individual MSP molecules. While the atomic mobility of dimers in solution has been shown to be considerable via NMR (Haaf et al., 1998), the relative mobility of the loop regions that stabilize subfilaments according to our model is even more substantial. Thus it is reasonable to expect that individual subfilaments should be highly flexible and almost spring-like as a consequence. The tethering of two such coils to each other would therefore provide an upper limit to this flexibility, prevent overextension in the case of stretching, prevent structural collapse in the case of bending or compression, and also provide a store of energy in the form of tension which could be converted into useful work as filaments are straightened. As seen in the case of frozen hydrated MSP filaments, fully isolated filament segments are remarkably straight – at least partially due to the lowered tension in this configuration, while those that are in close proximity to other structures can readily bend around them as necessary.

That's some really powerful evidence, imho. I tend to value conservation over tradition.
The conciliatory tone of the end of the discussion section is a nice touch. A paper like this is fundamentally confrontational. It makes the position seem slightly less solid, but perhaps that is a good thing. Maybe people need to approach this topic with a more critical eye.

>>4991 thank you!
Although rarely mentioned in the literature, researchers who are intimately familiar with the structural work on MSP can attest to the incredibly poor and highly irregular diffraction of MSP filaments. For example, high resolution exemplar projections of frozen-hydrated physiologically polymerized MSP filaments failed to diffract at all, and three-dimensional single-particle techniques only revealed weak diffraction after preferential filtering in Fourier space, together implying an almost unprecedented level of structural heterogeneity for a presumably-helical filament (unpublished results). In considering the published structural data, the earlier Fourier-Bessel inversion model (Stewart et al., 1994) was based on the averaged layer line data from just six filaments. One of the exemplar diffraction patterns used to generate the model is shown in that same paper, and it is remarkable that such a noisy and ambiguous pattern would be considered an exemplar. As described, even the relatively consistent reflections exhibited significant variation, and this was especially true in the case of the second reflection (11.3 nm), which defines the half-pitch of a subfilament.
Surprisingly, our new filament model provides a reasonable explanation for the highly irregular diffraction of MSP filaments. As mentioned, subfilaments are predicted to be highly flexible, and so, increasing levels of helical disorder would be observed with increasing distance. The linkage between subfilaments would be expected to provide some level of additional stability and minimize this disorder. However, if the linkage itself is disordered, then the stabilizing effect would be minimized, and so, the relative positions of dimers within two slightly-disordered helices would be considerably more heterogeneous than within an isolated subfilament. Conceptually, it would be like two heavy springs (the subfilaments) loosely held in place relative to each other by many weaker springs. The subfilament half-pitch defines the relative positions of the two subfilaments, and so, if the tethers between subfilaments allow them to move relative to one another, then the filament structure would reflect this disorder – with a relatively constant subfilament pitch (~22.5 nm) and a highly irregular subfilament half-pitch (~11.3 nm). Despite these irregularities, the subfilament paths ensure that crossovers will be observed – even if those crossovers occur at slightly irregular intervals – and so the characteristic axial dot spacing of MSP filaments will be observed despite the incredible heterogeneity of the constituent subunits.
I probably need to clarify this part a bit, but this is a second draft.

had something kind of scary happened last night / this morning. I ate a late night snack of some rice/beans/cheese. A couple of hours later, I had this really odd feeling that I was very hungry and very full at the same time. ~30 minutes later I started getting pains in my abdomen and lower back, nausea, and light-headedness. I thought I'd go to bed and see if laying down would help; it didn't, and all the pain kind of moved to a single excruciating point in my right lower abdomen. I couldn't move to make it stop hurting, so I didn't sleep and just kind of laid there. about the time I was contemplating calling someone to ask their opinion on whether my appendix was the issue and whether I needed to go to the hospital, 100% guaranteed to bankrupt myself, over about 10 minutes the pain stopped completely and everything else went away with it. I'm very confused and exhausted.

The tricky thing about Banu Rassi (and why I haven't already taken over 1/4 of the world like would be possible in vanilla) is that 1: there's no strait into Africa, 2: communication efficiency (CE) decreases with distance, and 3: all the desert drop CE really fast. so that means you have to become a naval power if you want to connect your distant lands, otherwise they just rebel constantly (like my little chunk of Persia, which is more of a hassle than anything). blobbing is self-limiting in MEIOU, which is another reason I like it.

>>5059 oh, I must be thinking of another one then.
The idea behind CE is that more distant parts of your empire are going to be more autonomous by virtue of being harder to keep tabs on. So in your capital province, you have perfect CE. but then as you move one province away in any direction, the terrain adds to the local CE in a cumulative way. so like, plains might add 3 days travel time, and a mountain might add 7. at intervals of ~5 days, the CE modifier changes, so worse CE does things like increase autonomy (which always reaches some equilibrium, unlike vanilla) or cause constant revolt risk. You can build various levels of roads to make travel faster, but roads are EXPENSIVE! An alternative is to build ports which act like nodes, so ships travel into ports and then the messengers walk from there. It's how I made the horn of Africa into useful land despite no land connection. there are also ways to decrease CE locally through regional capitals, but they're a bit wonky. until about 1800 you're very limited by roads/ports, so… you can expand, but the land is probably going to be 100% autonomy and constantly rebelling at the fringes of your empire, so much so that sometimes it's better to just not take it or give it to a vassal instead. Around 1820, you can build railroads, which cost a FORTUNE but can greatly extend your effective CE.

It's quite nice, started on a 1600 star map, roughly the Star Trek Milky Way with the races where they should be. Began as United Earth, formed the Federation. Still about 50 years before TOS. Been slowly expanding through peaceful joining of other Empires into the Federation.
Things are going a bit faster than they did in canon, but I think that's a consequence of how Stellaris works. It's before TOS and I know about the Borg in the Delta Quadrant.

The writing in Voyager is just all over the place.

There were good episodes, don't get me wrong, but there were far more bad than good.

>>5136That's not to say other shows didn't have
some character development, it was just usually more limited.
The TOS cast got their development mostly in movies, which was done very well. TNG however had some development, but more for some characters than others. Picard, understandably, got a lot of development. The Picard at the end of TNG is a very different man than the one we start with. Over the course of seven years he experiences a lot of things that profoundly alter him, in both good and bad ways. His time as Locutus of Borg traumatized him terribly, and it robbed him of some of a lot of his optimism. Less talked about is how his experiences and living another life due to an alien probe also changed him. It turned Picard from someone who was solely focused on his career in Starfleet into someone who secretly longed for intimacy, and even a family. Something he largely rejected throughout most of his life before then. Things like that.
DS9 took that sort of development Picard got, ramped it up, and gave that treatment to each of the main cast.

>>5140DS9 is hard, all the characters are good. It's something of a tossup between Garak, Quark, and O'Brien. Garak the patriotic exile, Quark the greedy philanthropist, and O'Brien the everyman. Even the other characters can be enjoyed more than those three at times. I'd have to write an essay on each character to do any of them justice. Because DS9 will occasionally give characters that had up until that point been largely unimportant scenes like this.

>>5142It's one of my favorite moments from all of Star Trek, because of what it was for Nog as a character. Nog just started out as something of a juvenile delinquent who happened to befriend Sisko's son Jake. In the end it turned out that Jake wasn't the one who wanted to join Starfleet, but Nog. So take someone who was just some punk kid, and then made good on the last line in that scene. He never makes Sisko regret sponsoring him, and Nog ends up being an upstanding officer.

Eventually he was promoted to chief engineer of Deep Space Nine, where he managed to get Federation and Cardassian technology to work with one another through essentially jury rigging the entire station.
O'Brien also, in part due to his past, has endured a lot of hardship. He's a veteran of the Federation-Cardassian war, and holds a degree of bitterness against Cardassians as a result. It makes him doubt the Federation's stance that humanity had "evolved" past our previous failings. Because when it came down to it he was perfectly capable of being just as viscous and xenophobic as other races in the galaxy. It's notable that is actually what causes his issues with Cardassians. He regularly encounters and deals with individual Cardassians he gets along fine with. But
Cardassia, the political body, is what he resents. Because in the war he was forced to forgo his Federation ideals and murder a young Cardassian soldier to save himself. He doesn't hate Cardassians, he hates what they made him become.

>>5165Television was largely episodic with only pieces of continuity between episodes. TNG is when television networks began to consider spending more time on story arcs rather than single episode stories. The biggest and most prominent example of this is
The Best of Both Worlds. It was a two parter, the first part was a season finale, and the second was a season premier. This is the episode where Picard was abducted and assimilated by the Borg. The season ended with the rather famous exchange between Picard-Now-Locutus, and the Enterprise crew.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvNn_vJy0BMIt wasn't until the next season began that viewers finally got to see what happened. This set the precedent for many shows we have now to leave seasons off on a cliffhanger to draw viewers in for the next season. I don't know if this was the first time a show did this, but it was certainly the most successful at the time.
DS9 took that and went all in. Instead of having two-parters that spanned seasons, DS9 had a story which had an arc that spanned not just one season, but multiple through the Dominion War storyline. Both of these instances are perhaps overlooked now due to such devices having become commonplace, but back then no other shows were really doing them. Both of these shows were pioneers not just in the sense of the stories they told, but television in general. I really do think there's an argument to be made that Star Trek is what enabled the current trend of longform storytelling on television to come about.

The mod is actually quite robust with new mechanics. In my time forming and then being the Federation, I've never used my military to conquer and seize a planet.

>>5291Well, it started with a coalition between United Earth, the Andorian Empire, Vulcan High Command, and the Tellarite Technocracy. After 15 years, the four agreed to form the Federation, with Earth as the capital. The Tellarites, Andorians, and Vulcans all maintained homeworld sovereignty as member worlds, and their colonies along with Earth and it's colonies become part of the overarching blanket of the Federation.
After that, other smaller neighboring civilizations are invited to coalitions where the Federation promises to protect them from the likes of the Romulans, Klingons, or Cardassians. After a while I can send out diplomatic feelers to start bringing them into the Federation properly. If successful, the Federation gets direct control over any colonies they may have, and the species homeworld becomes another member state. Each member state also builds and maintains their own defense fleets and armies that work in tandem with Starfleet, which represents the Federation as a whole.
Recently the Federation just finished a war against the Cardassians to liberate some planets near the Federation border that were enslaved. The two planets in question formed the Glost-Werheni Planets. They along with the nearby planet of Trill are currently being guaranteed independence by the Federation, in the hopes that they will be able to join as full members of the Federation soon.

>>5299The way it works is that once you form the federation, every two years there is an event where the Federation Council convenes, and then you have some options. One of the events is about the accession of another power into the Federation, and you can either spend resources to make the process faster, or you can just leave things low-key and it can happen on it's own.
One time I had to deal with the fact that an empire I was trying to bring in was an authoritarian xenophobic empire, in comparison to the egalitarian, pacifist, xenophilic Federation. So I worked through negotiations there and eventually we agreed to fund some educational reforms.
Then there's all the events, like anomalies, which so far have all been based on things like episodes of the shows.

>>5301Then there's the event I got that goes over the 3rd season of Enterprise with the Xindi crisis. It was before I'd formed the Federation, so Earth was still basically standing on its own. The whole point was that the Xindi were sending a superweapon to destroy earth due to being lied to by a faction from the future. I managed to avert the crisis, but I am fairly certain that failing to do so would have resulted in Earth's destruction, and my having to pick up the pieces from there.

Oh, one more thing. All the ships are faction and era appropriate. So for instance, when I initially got to cruisers in tech they were NX-class starships. These.
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/f/fc/Hatchery_planet.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20060106114547&path-prefix=enAll of the ships from cruiser down sort of fit that level of tech in terms of their profiles. Once I unlocked battlecruisers, the cruisers switched from being NX-class to Constitution-class, being these.

Battlecruisers are instead frail, but very long range artillery craft. Interestingly the mod went with the Miranda-class for these initial battlecruisers.

>>5329It's a bit under 90 years since First Contact, which puts it a bit before the start of
Enterprise. Keep in mind that in Star Trek, First Contact with the Vulcans was then followed by the Vulcans helping Earth and humanity recover from WWIII. Radiation scrubbing and medical programs paired with Vulcans giving
some support to humans in developing our own warp engines.
2150 puts the start of the mod campaign as around 11 years before the Federation itself was properly formed following a coalition of the Andorians, Vulcans, Humans, and Tellarites to repel a Romulan incursion to their area of the galaxy. In canon, the Federation formed in 2161, in my game it happened a bit later in 2167 after the Xindi crisis.
So far the really notable ones are my first contact with the Mirror Universe, the events of The Inner Light, and the episode with a duplicate Riker. There was also a long event chain that was detailing United Earth's and then the Federations efforts to terraform Mars by colliding comets into the ice caps.
There was also the previously mentioned educational reforms that I brought about in a nearby, fairly large power that eventually brought their government and people more in line with Federation ideals to smooth their integration into the Federation as a whole.

>>5331It certainly helps! I've gotten good results from a lot of the anomalies because I know how the situation played out originally and know what is, and is not dangerous to proceed with. Though that doesn't always work, I lost a captain as well as her mirror universe counterpart because I tried to follow what happened in the episode, and a transporter accident just ended up killing them.

>>5333Well, the basic idea is that there are two universes that are part of the Prime timeline. They diverged from each other during first contact with the Vulcans. In the main show universe, peaceful relations of mutual cooperation were established and espoused. In the mirror universe humans killed the Vulcans that landed on earth, reverse engineered their tech and went out into the universe to kill and conquer. Things sort of continued to spiral from that point. The easy answer is that the mirror universe is where the evil twins come from.

>>5335No, that was the Enterprise getting stuck in an anomaly that dragged in more Enterprises from other universes. Think of the mirror universe as more of a… specific twin universe.

>>5337I know you've said in the past that Stellaris doesn't really scratch an itch like the other Paradox games do. But if it's because you disliked the randomness of it, this provides a good sort of… future alt-history to play through. You don't HAVE to play as the Federation, you could play as the Romulans, the Cardassians, or go way off and play the Dominion, Borg, or any number of smaller races you happen to like. You can't make your own custom race or anything, but I think there's enough variety to choose from.
I
believe there is a similar mod to this one, except it uses the Star Wars galaxy instead. Different mod teams and I've not tried out the Star Wars one, but I think there's promise there as well.
No.5339
>>5338 I haven't played since they started coming out with expansions for it, so I'm not sure how it's changed since then. My biggest complaint was that, at the time, it didn't seem like there was enough content for the timeline. e.g. arbitrary laser level 3 and level 4 with no real difference between them. I might have to give it a shot with this mod.
Right now I'm playing Banu Rassi for our group challenge, though - going out driving this evening.

>>5339Well, there's a bit of that still plaguing the base game. Expansions help a bit though, Utopia is the big one. The three ascension paths open up a lot of new things to play with. Upgrading to Cyborgs eventually leading to mind uploading, delving into psionics, or biological engineering. Those along with Megastructures are a fairly cool addition. This latest expansion added machine races and revamped the AI crisis to be something a bit more substantial.
There's also more mods than just that Star Trek and Star Wars mods. There are mods that add entirely new ship classes and sizes, new techs, that sort of thing.
Well, understandable. You don't need to try this stuff out immediately. I do know that if you don't have the expansions that the Star Trek mod is specifically made on top of the base game so that people can play it without needing to buy expansions.

So I waited a while before sending my manuscript drafts to my 'boss'
because of course I did…, but I got back a response. thought I'd share (slightly edited to remove names and whatnot).
What a pleasant surprise. I think about you on occasion, particularly when I am updating my CV and I see your name as a student that I supervised. When I do, I wonder if you will ever complete the circle. I was always certain that when/if you did contact me, that it would be at a time when I could not drop everything to help you out. Don't take this to mean that I am not pleased with what you have done. It only means that I cannot deal with it for about a month. However, I have downloaded the zip file. It seems that you have been busy.
In front of you, I have 3 manuscripts in different stages of revision to account for the comments of the first reviewers, an introduction for the Caspar Festschrift to write, and a student who must revise and submit their thesis and get a second paper published before graduating in December. Fortunately, there are no grant deadlines or Study Sections looming so I am pretty sure that I can get these read in about a month, but it will take some additional time to wrap my head around your project as I have not thought much about it for a while. I am certainly putting you on my to do list. I am reasonably sure that I will have to enlist some help in this endeavor.
I am copying the department chair on this message. Whether or not we can get you re-enrolled to complete your degree I am not sure. If it is possible for you to get your degree, you should certainly do whatever it takes to accomplish that. What you have done is a very important start. It will require some investigation on our part to figure out your options and possible waivers. Certainly nothing much can happen this semester and it will be important to get these papers out before you re-enroll, if indeed you can.
This is a pleasant surprise, even if untimely. Don't get discouraged. We will figure something out.
Cheers –

>>5407That's how anger works. It's hot, it's fast, and almost as quickly as it arrived it burns itself out.
Hate is cold, enduring. It takes time to crystallize, but once it has it's like it was always there and it's difficult to recall when it wasn't there. If there was a time it wasn't there… or if it was always there and you just didn't recognize what it was.
I should just erase this, not even bother to post it. I might. I might not. I'm getting tired of staring at the words though. It's a bunch nonsense anyway.
I'm just gonna go take care of the dogs, I think.

Another amusing call just now - 3 very drunk ladies call me for a ride. 2 hop in - passenger just had her 30th birthday party. 3rd chats with a guy and girl who aren't coming with us, apparently she just hooked them up, and she's really proud of herself. finally she gets in. they have a 2nd stop - no problem. I ask them to direct me to it. matchmaker-girl is behind me, starts hugging around my neck, tells me to make a 'hard right' 'hard left' 'long and straight ahead' and at some point actually says something like 'make a sexual left here' I'm very amused. go to drop her off. she says she wants me to show the other two my ass, and in return she'll show me her ass. well… as the others in the car tell me, just go along with it and she'll get out and go home, so sure… she gets in front of my car, in front of the headlights, pulls down her jeans and then pulls her boobs out the top of her shirt and starts bouncing around. for a while. and I'm trying to be polite to her friends and just look away but she was doing it for so long that eventually I just looked at her and waved good night at her. so she goes inside. 2 girls left. we drive to their drop point. lots of stuff about music - they relaly like Elton John oddly enough. anyway, unimportant… the funny thing is that, during the drive there, they completely forgot who I was. They thought I was some guy they met at the bar and was just driving them home. When I reminded them I was an Uber driver, they were really embarrassed. I thought it was all pretty funny.

I am new to the local scene - in the process of being vetted I just need to attend a munch. I find vetted people are less likely to be dangerously weird.
I am curious about the cfnm parties. Have you been to a local one and what your experience was. I know you don't know me so I absolutely don't expect an answer. I just prefer hearing experiences over googling. I googled cfnm and it just looked like porn where hot women fuck a bunch of dudes at a party. I was told that is not the reality.

I picked up a ~40ish couple from a tavern downtown. I drove them to the destination indicated by the husband's request - a fairly nice hotel on the east side of town. turns out that wasn't the intended destination and that the place they live was located miles away. neither one of them said they have been there. that said, sometimes Uber sets destinations based on recent trips. He sat up front while she sat in the back. makes me wonder.

>>5472I've been doing a lot of thinking about this. It hit me watching a crappy pop psych video about "angry introverts". The whole thing was total crap, but it did highlight a few things I do. Staying late at work, one word conversations, lying about doing well. And I already know. I've been mad at people I care about a lot. The problem has been that I can't really talk with them about it. And I had to consider why. It is because they'll try to cheer me up by offering things I want. But of course, I do the same thing. And that's what I realized.
I try to read somebody when they catch my eye. Nothing mystical about it, of course. Their subtleties. How their words, expressions, posture, and other things change based on how they feel and what's on their mind. That's what getting to know somebody means to me. It is why I don't have a whole lot of interest in AMAs, and why I deny trying to cheer people up. And I guess that's what I want from people. Not hugs or kisses or "love" or anything like that. Effort.

Actually, there was one that kind of stood out. this uber-jock taking home a girl he'd obviously just met at the bar, and the whole way to the drop off he was trying to impress her by the fact that he was a "Pike" (Pi Kappa Akpha, apparently the top dog frat in town). They were so self-absorbed, that when we got to the drop, a massive and confusing apartment complex, they just kept face-timing with random frat bros about who is/isn't a Pike rather than telling me where to drive. It was something.
And another group of sorority sisters earlier in the evening were discussing how there's another frat (not Pike) that is gaining a reputation for drugging girls' drinks - so much so that the fraternity president had to acknowledge it on social media and the university is starting an investigation.

>>5793 not sure if you saw this:
>>5769I picked up a group of ~6 40-somethings from the big movie theater in town. On the way out of the mall complex, one of them commented, surprised that there's an amphitheatre at a mall. Another asked if they'd played there, to which someone responded 'no'. One guy said they were from Tupelo, MS, but given the laughter about it, I'm not sure I believe him. Anyway, after I dropped them off at a hotel, I circled out back since I was curious. There were two unmarked touring RVs in the lot. no idea who they were, but clearly a touring band of some sort.

The Friday campaign is really something else… It's a game full of ultra-tryhards that put me to shame.

So I went to the meeting last night. a somewhat new-agey thing about feeling people's energy and visualizing energy transfers. of course it was partner-based so I just stood there like a dumbass, although I did get to talk to a few people afterwards - some I knew from before, and met a guy who seems pretty cool - new to the group = goes by the name nerdyboy - gamer who's into Pathfinder among other things. might see him later for gaming-related stuff.
As far as Uber, I gave a former president of the university and his wife a couple of rides yesterday (hence 2 of the 4 massive tips I got yesterday). one ride was random via Uber, the second - they requested I come back to give them another ride since I was able to handle his motor scooter assembly/disassembly. They went to an event at the university, where a stained glass window was revealed in his honor - a stained glass image of him. looked very cool. they were very interested in the path my research had taken, and especially the problems I've encountered and eventually overcoming them.
and then some random frat asshole late in the evening spit in the back of my car - in two places no less. I can't imagine why people think that's appropriate, especially in an Uber someone else called.

They were a pleasure to drive. They asked for my contact info in case they need future rides, but they're getting a wheelchair-specialized van in a day or two, so it's pretty unlikely they'll need me again.
I can only review the person who called - a girl in this case who definitely wasn't the one spitting in the back of my car. The worst thing about it was that I crammed about 10 people into my SUV that can legally hold 6, breaking the law, took the back roads, just to save them money, gave them an aux cable so they could play music… and that's how this asshole decides to repay me.

War is brewing. Tensions with the Klingons have continued to rise despite diplomatic efforts, along with historical tensions with the Romulan Empire. The Klingons are however currently engaged in a war with the Husnock and Gorn alliance, reports indicate that the Klingons maintain a clear advantage over the other two powers, and Federation analysts believe the Gorn may soon be annexed and enslaved. Romulan territory continues to expand, but the Sheliak seem reluctant to share information with us. Patrols continue along the neutral zone, and a new type of military Starbase has been designed. Current plans are to field these new starbases in orbit of at-risk planets.
The Cardassian Union has been repelled from Ghost-Warani space, and a new Cardassian Republic has gained a foothold in historically totalitarian space. However, the plight of the Bajoran people continues. Unfortunately with the rising threat of both the Klingons, and our historical enemy in the Romulans, we cannot spare any resources.
Talks have begun with the planets Trill, and Betazed for preliminary assessments to join the Federation. While relations are otherwise good, Caitia remains reluctant to join the Federation. This is unsurprising due to their imperialistic culture, focused on their family structure not unlike earth lions.
A large cylindrical object has entered the sol system, and set a course for earth. The signals it has broadcast are consistent with records of an extinct earth creature, the humpback whale. The object moves very slowly, and a fleet has been dispatched to monitor it's progress. The close call with the Xindi planet destroying weapon remains in the minds of those who faced near obliteration all those decades ago.

>>6219Of a different sort than I am usually concerned with.
I left the dog show world for a
reason. The level of two-faced, blatant machinations leave me with such a distaste that I no longer wanted anything to do with them. Then money got spent on entering
my dog without my consultation nor consent. Money I sure would have liked to have been giving against the thousands I'm still owed.
…Even besides that, I know for a
fact this is hurting finances besides my own. It
shouldn't have happened.
But the end result is that I have to go to this thing because I can't trust my dear father to actually not ruin four years of training in two days.

There's the start which are classes, any dog that wins a class goes on to the winners round, which then goes to the best opposite (sex), and then best of breed is whatever dog won the best of opposite, along with any dogs that have finished and are champions, the "specials." Whoever wins in that last one is best of breed, and then goes on to compete against other breeds in group. So hound group, sporting group, toy group. Then each winner of the groups goes to the best in show, which then decides who "takes it all" for the day. To finish, you just need to beat dogs in your own breed and get points. 15 points total, and twice winning points in amounts 3-5, which is a "major." You need to have 15 points total, with two majors to have the dog be a champion.

>>6298It does within a certain type of potential customer.
After finishing, there's a point of being a "grand champion" where they've gotten 25 points. A bronze grand champion is 100 points, 200 is silver, 800 is gold, and 1000 is platinum. Each point represents a non-champion beaten, and "specials" are worth two points.

>>6450 I didn't say anything about it at the time because I know it was a bad idea… but the same people who paid me on the side to give them a ride yesterday morning asked me drive their nieces out to them this morning, so I just took an hour and a half nap and then went back out for a couple of hours, then came back home again and finally went to sleep. Given the circumstances, they paid about triple what I'd have gotten via Uber itself. I just woke up - sort of - might go back to sleep in a bit.

>>6519>>6520I was rather ambiguous on purpose. I stepped down because when he asked if I would care to be a mod I gave a strong no. I was modded mostly as a clerical error and I stepped down as soon as I felt it wouldn't cause undo distress on anybody involved.
So the abrasiveness is related, but not totally linked. I can chalk it up to cultural differences. When I feel slighted I expect an apology and an owing up of responsibility, and then I will forgive absolutely everything as if it never happened. He offered a display of private shame, which while similar to an apology I have a difficult time accepting since I am not interested in making him feel bad for it.
See, for
him, such an apology is part of a punishment that involves shaming, while I, as you may have gathered by now, value when somebody realizes what is going through my mind. And you've seen, I can get rather insistent when something is important to me, in a way that is just a little too sweet to ask me to stop.
Anyways. I am not proud of it, but that unusual behavior of mine was one last attempt to get what I wanted, long before I considered that I had perhaps crossed the line.

I would believe that to be a difference in cultural philosophy, yes. Along with Moony's tendencies towards seeing what he
wants to see in other people, not necessarily what's actually there. So with
you, well, there's only so much of that I think you can withstand. It's something of a shame, when I think about it. Attempting to glean more of who you are has proven a
very enriching experience.
I appreciate your honesty on this matter. Maybe it sounds silly, but I've been curious about this since you left those years ago.

own myself, through and through. As for not complaining, it's because I don't really mind! It's not like it's a magic switch that changes everything.

them, if not, I will stop things before it gets that far. I've done that a few times too.
>Impressed reasonHence why I urge people to find their sense of worth from within, and not wrap it up in being with someone else for the sake of
having a relationship. If you have a relationship it should be with someone you feel is worthwhile to begin with. Don't be with someone just to… fill a quota. Ugh.

In my down time though, I really should see about taking another crack at calculus. I kept the book. It won't be a class… but it's always eaten at me that I couldn't finish. I want to get at

>>6657 The concepts are pretty important, but I feel like the math itself is just busywork at this point. And by at this point, I mean in the same way that creating your own log tables might be a useful skill and concept, but now most of us carry powerful computers in our pockets that can do calculations that would take minutes by hand - in a matter of microseconds. Most of calculus collapses into simple algebra anyway, even in physics, so unless you want to derive the questions on your own, again, I don't see the point in reinventing the wheel unless you need to.

>>6669 As I was taking a shower, I thought of a good way to explain it. Much of relativity can be explained and understood by relative velocity squared as a proportion of the speed of light squared. If you understand that relationship, then you can follow the logic and understand most of the concepts in relativity. The "what" is the interesting part - the relationships and real-world manifestations. The "why" is simply "because calculus" and doesn't really improve your understanding of it, even if you take the time to derive it yourself. I feel this applies to most of calculus.

The fears of the Federation's top analysts were realized this year. In a bid to reclaim their hold over all Cardassians, the Union declared war against the New Cardassian Republic, with whom the United Federation of Planets shares many ties with. The republic is the most recent candidate for entry into the Federation. Both the Trill Administration and the Caitian Union joined the Federation this past decade. However, the declaration of war against our allies has broken nearly four decades of peace.
Unfortunately, the initial battles between the Cardassian Republic and Union made it clear that Starfleet had grown complacent. The Obsidian Order in an unprecedented move dedicated every ship in the Cardassian Union to the initial offensive. One thing was abundantly clear. Unlike in the war nearly half a century ago, Starfleet would not be enough to stop the enemy fleet, merely slow their advance.
In addition to allocating resources to the construction of more Miranda-Class destroyers and Constitution-class cruisers, which have served as the backbone of Starfleet for generations, the Federation saw fit to field a new generation of ship. On October 1st, 2326, the new flagship of Starfleet was completed.
The USS Galaxy was the first of a new class of Starship. The pinnacle of Federation engineering. The principles that go into her design will be retrofitted to older ships where applicable. Rechristened as the USS Enterprise-D, it is the latest ship to bear the name Enterprise.
However, the news of a new Federation battlecruiser brought other eyes towards the Federation. Those who seek to test themselves through war now see the Federation as a way to advance themselves. In seeking to protect our allies, the Federation has brought war down on itself.
The Klingons have declared war upon the Federation.

>>6746I do try, and the story is doing a good job of writing itself. I try and add a bit of flair where I can though.
Yes, I've been watching it! I haven't watched the most recent episode yet though. I will probably do that tomorrow, make my stroganoff too.
>>6747The Federation is in crisis. While the Cardassians are a threat, the Klingons are truly mighty. They believe in their own superiority as a race, their warrior culture, their drive to conquer. There are citizens of the Federation who came here, fleeing from civilizations conquered by the Klingons in their cruelty. They respect martial prowess, no more, and no less.
"We are facing an enemy that is consumed, and committed to our total destruction. An enemy that demands to be fought, and we will fight. But I say to you our greatest challenge is not the might of a Klingon fleet. The greatest challenge laying before us is to
do what
must be done. Without
undoing the dream of the Federation."

They aren't trying to setup a franchise, there's no sequel hook, it's just another story set in the universe. I loved that. Also I like movies with slow pacing, so that was good too.

>>6797Ah.
Well, Michael Burnham is the main character that is followed. She's a disgraced Starfleet officer, and it seems like the show will be in part her making up for her mistakes. She's a human raised by Vulcans, so that may explain why she's got so much repressed anger.
Commander Saru is an alien from a species I've not managed to figure out the name of just yet. He's a sort of different take on the idea of a lovable coward. I'd say it's that he's more of a principled coward.
Tilly is the new blood character. She's a cadet serving on the ship that shares a room with Michael. She's a bit socially awkward, but she means well. She
is however still competent as befitting a cadet that managed to secure a station on a starship, but not a prodigy. Which is fine, prodigy characters are boring.
Captain Lorca has some potential. He's a bit of an antithesis to what I mentioned earlier with the Federation. He seems all too willing to make some compromises to bring about an end to the war. Still, Michael doing so is what landed her in the disgraced position she's in now. Her pushing back against compromising her principles again with Lorca trying to tempt her could serve for good character development down the line for both of them.

One of the most annoying things about Uber is when the rider does something stupid, the driver tries to go out of their way to make up for the rider's problem, and then the rider blames the driver for whatever went wrong. They're all smiles until after the ride, when they give you a low rating. I should just cancel on these people and drive away. It's not that the customer is always right; it's that the driver is always wrong.

>>6810>>6811My very first ride was to pick up someone from a small (single entrance) WalMart. I called before I arrived to confirm their location. I pulled up to the door, blocked a lane, and turned on my hazard lights. no one came. I texted, still nothing. I called, no answer. 5 minutes later, still no one. I pulled up a bit to stop blocking the lane, sat there another 10 minutes with my hazard lights on. nothing. 3 calls - no answer. so I cancelled and went to the far end of the lot to wait for another call. 5 minutes later, another ping from walmart. it's the same guy. so I pull up, he and his SO get in. they say their phone died, and where was I? well, they didn't believe I'd been there for 15 minutes. angry they got charged a cancellation fee. complain the entire way in Spanish to each other as I drive them to their apartment. in the end I gave them $3 to reimburse them for most of my share of the cancellation fee. helped them carry up some groceries. 26 minutes for a $3.43 fare. thankfully they didn't give me a bad review as far as I can tell.
last ride of the night, out of coffee, didn't realize what time it was and hadn't turned off my app, a dreaded ride to the airport. I pull up to the address - no one there. I pull up a bit to see if maybe he was at the next house over - there's nothing there but a vacant lot. it's a one way street so I go around the block to get back to the location. guy's there - standing in the road waiting for me. I pull up; he opens the rear driver side door, closes it. I wait a moment and start rolling. he yells at me; he had PUT HIS TINY BAG BEHIND ME AND WALKED AROUND THE BACK TO THE PASSENGER SEAT RATHER THAN GETTING IN HIMSELF. we have a pleasant conversation on the way to the airport. 2 stars. issue: navigation.
I should have just cancelled on both of them and driven away.

>>6825Zika virus has been around since 1949, but it wasn’t known to infect humans until the past decade. An outbreak in the Pacific Islands region grew until it spread to Brazil in 2015, sparking global concern. At first it was believed to be a particularly minor viral infection, but now we know this is not true, as the 2015 outbreak in Brazil saw cases of microcephaly increase by more than an order of magnitude. Guillain-Barre Syndrome and other neurological disorders are now known to be associated with Zika. Testing, especially for exposed pregnant women, has a new level of importance (Charrel, 2016).
Molecular testing is of particular value with Zika infection. The flaviviruses are known to be cross reactive in testing and this has held true with ZIKV testing (Villanueva, 2016). The FDA alerts that several serological tests have particularly high false positive rates and should not be relied upon without confirmatory testing (“ZIKV Detect…” 2016). While antibody plaque neutralization testing may be used, this simply is not practical in most healthcare settings, necessitating molecular techniques. This testing isn’t perfect either, as interest in diagnosing Zika is recent that genetic variations between strains are still being determined and the presence of viral RNA is only usable before 14 days and preferred within 7 days of onset of symptoms (“Laboratory Testing…” 2016). Because of the shortcomings of all of these tests the CDC requires that PCR positive or inconclusive samples are sent to them for gold standard PRNT testing. With the warning that a negative molecular test does not demonstrate absence of Zika, the CDC has issued an Emergency Use Authorization for the Trioplex rt-PCR Assay, combining Dengue Fever Virus, Zika Virus, and Chikungunya Virus. These three viruses may have a similar initial presentation and may react with the serological testing for one another, and are also overlap geographically with similar urgency but different treatments, making differentiation particularly important. The CDC issued Emergency Use Authorization for their own Trioplex testing on March 17th of last year. An action report on June 13 of that year shows that by that time 74 laboratories had been approved to perform testing (“Diagnostic Tests…”, 2017).
Serum is a preferred sample, but testing is possible with EDTA whole blood, CSF, and for the Zika test only amniotic fluid or urine. The Applied Biosystems 7500 Dx RT-PCR instrument listed in the CDC procedures is capable of performing 96 well plate testing in approximately 2 hours (“Applied Biosystems”). This allows up to 24 samples to be tested per run using the recommended setup of internal and external controls if only Zika is tested for, or 8 samples using the full Trioplex which can account for cross-reactive false positives in serological testing. The CDC tests use a MagNA Pure 96, with a 96 sample per hour processing time with 5 minutes per hour of hands-on time (“MagNa Pure 96”). Use of these two instruments means that the bottleneck is in the PCR step rather than extraction. Large volume extractions with more than 1.0mL input are recommended for maximum viral recovery. The necessary extraction and PCR steps mean that the Trioplex PCR assay has considerably less throughput than a conventional serological test might, especially when considering the small number of samples that can be run at a time.
The main advantage comes in the sensitivity and specificity. The CDC tests were not particularly extensive, only 19 confirmed Zika positive patients were used, along with 51 negative patients and 36 with other flaviviruses, but in those conditions the sensitivity was 100%, with a 98.2% specificity. Singleplex testing had a similar setup with only 1 false positive, or 99.1% specificity. 106 titers still came back unanimously positive for all five patients examined in dilution studies. The use of internal controls for human RNA eliminates many sources of false negatives for PCR, returning false results as inconclusive instead. This allows laborious gold standard testing at central CDC laboratories to be performed on significantly fewer samples (“Trioplex…”, 2017). RT-PCR may, in most hospitals, be a send-out reference test, but the reference labs are plentiful enough to make testing possible. The laborious methods, small number of approved laboratories, and sudden influx by concerned doctors who lack access to more rapid tests means that this test can have an atrocious turn-around-time, up to a month in some cases, but since the affected population of greatest concern are pregnant women this allows the most urgent cases to be thrust to the front of the queue.
Only a few serological tests have been approved so far and some of them have been pulled from the market already due to the high rate of false positives. Flaviviruses are unusually difficult to develop serological tests for due to antigenic similarities and poorly understood immune responses, but RT-PCR really shines as a confirmatory test. The exceptional sensitivity and specificity, combined with the long processing time, small throughput, and the requirement of specialized equipment and personnel means that the dependence of RT-PCR as a first line test through 2016 is exactly what the CDC identified it as: an emergency situation.

>>6875My biggest problem is that I have to fight on two different fronts.
However, I also have a huge advantage. An abundance of planets. I've taken a lot of time to develop and colonize worlds that fall within my borders. Even if Starfleet is utterly crushed in a battle, I can rebuild and field a new fleet within a year. Plus, I've got over a dozen member worlds (Read as: OPM vassal swarm) to help keep my enemies distracted long enough to rebuild the fleet. That's assuming I don't do the smart thing and disengage when things aren't looking good to return to fight another day.
I spent a lot of time micromanaging the worlds in my territory. It's time consuming but a situation like this is where it pays off.

>>6884The most recent update did nerf corvettes, understandably. Naked Corvette was a rather OP strategy.
Still, I did tend towards a different approach, at least with my games against AI. Especially with one of my game before this one with New Horizons. In that game, I had a mod that gave me access to larger and more specialized types of ships. Notably one that I was able to pair with a Star Wars mod. Suddenly, corvette swarms became less effective, when dreadnaughts and super star destroyers could launch enough fighters to essentially quadruple the amount of targets in my fleet. A couple of interdictors made sure that any fleet mine caught could not escape.
Ahhh, well perhaps things are not quite so dire then!

>>6926>>6927Well, the first link, Experiment 2 shows a lot of promise. It feels like the setup to something big and grand. With just a couple pages you got me invested. I can see a few places where it could be expanded to really drive the blow home as well.
Experiment 1 is admittedly a little bit short, I can't see precisely where you were looking to go with that one. Still, I think I could see you writing good horror.
>>6928Remarkably stubborn, perhaps. Equally as remarkably astute.
Hm, have you perhaps considered consulting someone in psychology? You could make something both intoxicating and distressing through accurately portraying someone suffering from dissociative identity disorder.
Mm, I'd enjoy keeping you up with all sorts of things. Alas, responsibilities must take priority. Though do let me know if ever I manage to slink my way into your dreams, I do enjoy hearing about that when it happens.

>>6929The stabbing one is actually supposed to be self contained. I have a lot of world built around it, but it doesn't serve the purpose of the story, which was the stabbing.
The second one actually gets a little into occult horror alongside dissociation. It's a more modern setting, based on observation of an increasing rate of insomnia and migraines among young men. That a sort of dissociative disorder along with these other symptoms is a side effect of a sort of Lovecraft inspired "infiltration".

>>6930Hmm, very interesting! The wheels are already beginning to turn in my mind. Perhaps… a framing device? Oh yes, this could do quite nicely.
Ooh, an interesting take on the idea. Perhaps a cosmic horror as seen through a dissociative lens? How might a mind cope with such horrors when it is already drifting listlessly through life as though they were an outside observer? After all, many Lovecraftian style stories delve into madness brought about by things beyond human comprehension. How would such things affect someone who is struggling to simply retain their sense of self to begin with? Or rather, what more can those horrors do than they have already done ahead of time?

>>6931I'm glad it made you think! That was a secondary objective. I admit the actual substance is quite shallow, but I try to give it to you in a way you can gnaw on.
Well, the thinking I was having right now.
How do you pick a lock?
You force and fiddle each pin, one at a time, until it does the equivalent of fail mechanically and get jammed open. You're not actually breaking anything, but while you're trying to simulate the conditions when a key is inserted and the exact moment it is turned, the methods you use have more in common with mechanical failure. I see no reason why an infiltration of the mind should be any different. From the point of view of the lock, it is a fundamentally unpleasant experience that takes quite a while.

>>6932Well I'm definitely gnawing.
Cruelty through unerring and overwhelming apathy from a force far greater than we can comprehend. You really are a better writer than you give yourself credit for. Far too many "writers" see the work of Lovecraft and the works it inspired and think that the horror is simply an overabundance of tentacles, teeth, and eyes. Oh my dear Wheat,
you have actually taken the time to
understand. It's not about a horrific visage, but a representation and manifestation of the apathy of our own universe towards each and every one of us.

>>6936As I said, helping people to have their writing reflect their intention is kind of my choice for career path.
It's a subtle distinction. Lovecraftian works often include generous amounts of conventional bodily horror. That's not the main point though, the point is that it happens not out of any sort of malice or intent, but simply beings of such greater and different levels of existence that can't be bothered to keep us in tact.
It might be a bit larger than your original intent, but I can see it serving as the start of a very compelling novella.

He got several negative stability events in a row and was facing one or more national disasters. and then he just left. funny thing was I ended up in a similar situation at the end of the session and almost had my country die to Reformed rebels, but I pulled through just barely.I think maybe he was also worn out due to the other game, which ended just before ours started. a couple of other people also played in the earlier game, and I get the impression they didn't have a great time.

>>7209Well if you're looking for that right now it may have to wait, I'm having my attention slowly carved up into different directions.
Certainly you'd want all my focus to be on you, yes? You have had me quite a bit as of late. Sometimes there are others who want me around. It's good to give friends a bit of time too.
Though I can't say I am quite as thrilled at the choice of game… I just don't care about Overwatch. Like, at all. No.7218

I'm in a similar situation, though, a bit less that they'll think I hate them and more they'll get upset because they think I'm ignoring them. It's not even that I dislike FPS games, it's just I know my tastes. Overwatch just doesn't scratch the itch correctly, so I get bored. No.7222

I can understand that. I don't really have the time either, but that's why I picked a competitive game to stick with. What time I can spend can at least go to the same thing. I refuse to take anything else seriously, multiplayer wise, anyway. That on top of only being willing to tolerate so much of strangers reveling in their anonymity and being as unpleasant as they can.

Yes! Warframe just released the Plains of Eidelon update, adding an open area of around 9km^2 to run around in and with stuff to do. This being a change from what was randomized corridor tilesets that made up the rest of the game. It's quite a hefty update.

I roll down the window, and say "hey, over here" to him. he walks over, looks like he's never seen me before. "my group left" he says. "What group?" "My girlfriend and the Uber left." … "That was me; get in." he looks confused. "She's still in the back." he looks in the back seat, then finally gets in. drive them home and drop them off. drunken nonsense as they try to get out of the car, but nothing quite as bad as that.

>>7501Maybe once, a few years ago. I don't usually sing if there's anyone else around to hear me though. I don't quite live up to my previous standards anymore due to lack of practice.
Plus if it helps you pass a bit of time while you're working, all the better.

>>7502 I'd imagine you're probably still better than you think. I like singing, but I'm really bad at it, so it's mostly something I do alone in my car.
Driving is an odd hurry-up-and-wait kind of job. Honestly I'd be on the site more during my downtime, but it's such a huge pain in the ass to access it on my phone, with the constant crashes and everything. I turn off auto-updates, and after manually reloading the page 3-4 times, I have to close it or it crashes.
I've had a headache since late last night that just won't go away. I'm thinking of going back to sleep again.

>>7503Admittedly I'm no pop singer. I always preferred things along the lines of Gregorian Chants. Though I've considered trying to learn throat singing as well. I've always enjoyed the sound. Like the chants, there's always been a sort of ethereal appeal to it for me.

Actually, it occurs to me that if I get something going in the crock pot, I can have dinner pretty much taken care of before I even start on the other things. Hm. Gah, if only it wasn't going to be so warm tomorrow, I'd make a pot of chili. Maybe something leaner, like a chef salad. Grill some chicken, hard boil some eggs, a bit leaner than chili.

They've potentially known of you for years, tried their usual methods of closeness and have been met only with closed doors and redirection. You're someone that's gotten close to them, yet they've never been able to get close to in return. Then there's someone who they either do not know, or are only vaguely aware of who comes in and just… starts taking you all for himself in some secret place.

>>7744I suggest fitting the best FSD you can afford, and trading in rare goods to make some more spending money.
I don't know where they all are, but I do know that Nemere Market in the Damna system sells Damna Carapaces that are a rare good. I believe they're considered a textile. You can buy them for 315 credits, and they'll let you have a maximum of 12. You can make a good bit of money by bringing them to any system that's at least 100LY away. Other places have different rare goods, Damna is just the place I'm familiar with since it's in my neck of the woods.

>>7867Rotations are going well. I'm on the blood bank. See, the ABO blood group system is the only naturally occurring antibody to blood, but many antibodies can be formed depending on variations of surface proteins. Each transfusion makes a new antibody formation possible. We regularly screen patients for the 10 most clinically significant blood group systems.
We have an O- patient who a "frequent flyer". He is positive for C, e, Le-a, and possibly Kell antibodies. Comparing the prevelance of each antigen, there is a 4% chance that a random bag of O- blood will be a match for him.
As he gets transfused more, it becomes possible for him to develop more antibodies and become immune to even more blood.

>>7908 I don't think I'm as patient with my dog as you are with yours. I've been trying to make a conscious effort to remedy that lately.
at the end of my last trip, which was itself a debacle thanks to the people arguing, I had a lone drunk girl in an unsanctioned / non-Uber trip in the back of my car. she wanted to leave the group, got back in behind me after I ended the trip, and she said she was going to pay me cash. she didn't, but by then we were already moving. kick her out or take her for free? we were near the hood, so I decided not to dump this tiny white girl at the side of the road and continued driving to her apartment. she said she had to throw up, I stopped, she did. let the drunk girl with puke on her, who can barely stand or walk straight, back into my car - or leave her in the hood? I got her back in. drove to the gated apartment complex; I know the code because I go in and out for riders so often. I asked her which building. 3. I found 3. Which apartment? 313. I drove around and got out to confirm the poorly lit number - 313. she was convinced it wasn't her apartment. 313? 313. there it is. I opened the door she was sleeping against. she got out and walked up to it but couldn't get it for some reason. I asked her half a dozen times on the way over if she had her key and she said she did. she comes back. "This isn't U Club." "U Club on Woodward?" "Yeah, U Club on Woodward." "This is U Club on Woodward." "No it's not. Take me to U Club on Woodward." "……………" I told her look, we're in U Club on Woodward, there's 313, and I'm not letting her back into my car because I've already taken her to the place she wanted to go, and there's no other place to take her. then she just wandered off, as I cleaned the back seat and exterior of the door to get any puke residue off.
I don't think I did the 'wrong' thing, but it's just the thoughts going through my head that sort of set me back. a passed out girl in the back of my car on a ride that - as far as Uber is concerned - didn't happen. the things that might have happened if I'd just left her at the side of the road. how easy it would have been to take advantage of her. how completely oblivious she was to anything going on around her. It's not that I'm patting myself on the back for being a decent person and not doing those things, but that I recognize the capacity for 'evil' within everyone, and it's not so often that one is confronted with it in such a manner.

And I know it's not like I'm some… slacker that's just mooching off my parents not doing anything. I basically live on a farm, I have a lot of things that I do day in and day out, a lot of things I'm the only one here who
can. It's just it seems that employers don't really understand that I could do a good job, if by merit of my responsibilities at home are more intensive than what I'm asking to be hired for.
So on Monday I opened my email to find
five rejection letters, and it's just… I'm letting it get to me more than I should.
>>7916It just sort of comes with the territory. I've been doing this all my life, and I know what does and doesn't work. I don't have any, you know, formal training like say a vet would, but I know dogs well enough just from sheer experience.
But, it sounds like you had a really rough time of it last night. But yes, that capacity to take advantage of other people is something that's innate. It's unsettling to be confronted with how easy it would be, even if you had no desire to act on it. That doesn't change that the thought can enter your mind.

>>7919Then I've got dear old dad breathing down my neck for "playing on the computer" all the time. Or trying to drag me down to the employment center to get a "job coach."
Fucker, I don't need a job coach.
I'm looking for jobs. As for
you get off
Facebook once in a while and actually do
your job. Finish your insurance reports so you're not up until 3am! By the way, how are you liking the template that
I made for you so you could do
your job?
And how about you stop going to all these fucking dog shows? I know how much an entry for
one dog costs, don't get me started on
nine. Or have you also forgotten you kept
stealing my money out from me? We sell these puppies for $2000
each, and
I'm the one who takes care of them.
I keep them clean,
I make sure they're all getting enough food,
I am the one who single-handedly makes sure they get their medicine if they get sick! And all I ask for is the money from
one puppy sale in litters of eight or more for all my work. Yet you still somehow fall
behind? God I almost hope I don't get job interviews because the clothes I have to show up in are basically rags.
Yet it's
me who plays on the computer all day? Are you fucking
kidding me?!>Sighs… That ended up becoming a bit of a rant. And I'm trying to not swear so much. Also this reminded me I need to go destroy his old hard drive because it's got personal information from hundreds of different people on it and I don't want someone getting that.

It does feel like that. Don't get me wrong, he covers for me on a couple bills. I appreciate that he pays for my car and health insurance, but that's only about $400 a month, I think I earn more than that around here a month, if I was even earning minimum wage.

With the nuances, well, the puzzle's been nearing completion. The framework is there, most of the inside is filled in, but there are a few areas that are still needing to have the pieces fall into place. It's become rather important to me to make sure I get this one right, 100%, before I move onto the next puzzle in the Wheat series. I'd hate to get this one wrong, it's some of your best work. At least, from what I've seen.

aching for me to puzzle through, I must continue to give this one my attention. I'm very, very close, I think.

So you did a bit of snooping yourself. Began to formulate an idea in your head of what that thing is, and how best to have it for a little while yourself. After all, could be fun, right?
Then, in your own puzzling, you found some that didn't really fit with the rest, but yet was still absolutely part of the puzzle. No question. Yet it was quite the contrast from everything else you'd already put together. So instead of just going through the paces and putting together a simple, if pleasant looking puzzle, became something that you actually had to put some thought and effort into. You're good at solving puzzles though, so good that it's almost routine. For most you can envision the whole picture after fitting together just a few pieces, and the completed puzzle usually matches. Then you find one that defies such easy construction.
So you took a gamble, and offered me a puzzle in return. Which I obviously have immersed myself in over the last few months. You found, I'm not so bad at solving puzzles either. You initially did it because you just wanted to get the connecting pieces to those parts that seemed so different to each other. You weren't anticipating I may be able to put together puzzles just as deftly as you are, maybe even with a bit more grace. But you had already made progress before ever presenting
me with the puzzle. But in having me looking so closely, so intensely, it started to come together for you.
Those groupings you had, that seemed as different as night and day to where you questioned if you really had just a single puzzle, has a navigable twilight. You solve a lot of puzzles, and when you finish you move onto the next. I've begun considering the thought, that maybe it's a puzzle that you'll want to keep around, even after it's been filled in. Though, that's a bit of me and my hopes talking.
But before my analogy goes too much further, mind assessing my progress so far?

>>8112 pretty decent; I actually had a former student of mine as a rider, which was interesting. my favorite trip of the night was 5 ladies in their late 30s / 40s probably. they were just headed to a bar a few blocks away. on the way over, one of them was annoying the others by playing some sappy 80s songs, and the others were ribbing her for it. so of course I gave her the aux! but it didn't work with her phone, and then someone grabbed the phone and changed it. one of them apologized for the bad music, and I said it's fine - I like synth-pop. I had a CD in with the sound muted. the lady up front was curious what sort of music her 'millenial' driver was listening to. (they kept referring to the fact that I'm younger, but in reality they probably thought I was way younger than I am) so I turned it up - my new 'mix tape' because I got tired of listening to Rock Star on aux over and over. Snoop Dogg - Gin and Juice! and they all started singing along to it. then the song ended almost right away because it had been playing in the background, and they were disappointed. and then Biggie came on with Big Poppa, and they went nuts. we rolled up and one of them said 'do you millenials always play gangster rap for old white ladies?' and someone responded 'only the smart ones!' and as they took their time getting out, they were dancing with each other to the song and singing along, it was pretty great! a lot of people seem to like my mix as it turns out. pretty good turnout for a short night. and after I got back, I went to the store and splurged - bought some ice cream. football game tomorrow so I'll be driving after EU4.

>>8209… One of the first conversations, real conversations we had, I was trying to offer some advice.
Relationship advice. A conversation I jumped in on after you had been discussing another person who you were afraid would bail because you were in a relationship. Mainly from, because to paraphrase you, you're not good about talking about personal aspects of you life, like already being taken. But I hopped in and offered my two cents, because I tend to jump in to help on things like that when I can.
We've started talking more and it's sort of… becoming something. I guess. To a degree I've been holding back to both not impose myself, and to try and not have you freak out over the idea that I would just up and leave because you're with someone.
That was a while ago already. Then I read what you had to say in the "Old Love" thread. You said some things there that are making me wonder an entirely different thing. Specifically, if you're recently coming off a breakup. Or if what you said in that thread was from before where you are now.
So… I don't want to impose, or push you where you don't want to go, shouldn't go, or whatever. All I know is that I want to still get closer and I am unclear on what ways are available to do that.
…Cards on the table now.

>>8269I guess that's only fair.
It was just one of those days where no matter what I tried, I couldn't get myself to relax and have any sort of fun. The closest I got was catching up on FiM while folding laundry, and listening to a podcast when I went for a run, which I turned into my long run because I didn't want to just go back inside and not do anything. Then I tripled my reps for the same reason, but it turns out going from 30 to 90 pushups is a good way to hurt my arm. When I finished I sort of just… sat. I attempted to put another podcast on and play a game, but I was in such a haze that I don't remember anything that was said in the podcast and I was just going through the motions in the game. Then I took care of the dogs for the night and just went to bed.
I know some people get so lethargic they can't do anything at all. But I still don't like it when I'm only really capable of sitting and not doing anything, or occupying myself with some joyless task to avoid just sitting and staring.
I'd thought about having a few drinks, but I know better than to add alcohol to the mix when I get like that. So I just got the day over with as soon as I could.

>>8283Well, my curiosity about you has been there for a bit over a year now? To be honest after you left the mod team I didn't realize you'd stuck around beyond the occasional visit. Then I found the thread over on the other board you were hanging out in. So then I started reading a little bit more of your interactions with other people and found you seemed pretty relaxed, and thoughtful. If a bit reclusive but, considering what HAY is I didn't hold that against you or anything.
The latter… I don't actually know. I recognize what it is now, sure. I have for a while, but I can't pinpoint a place where it became this. I didn't start to try to get to know you
for this to happen. But we started talking more and it all just started to click and then… here I am. Does that make sense? This isn't something I actively look for, it just grows. I feel like I'm not really making sense. Or I am, and I'm just not saying it in the most adept manner.

Problems as Omani.
Indian superalliances that I can't weasel my way into. Timurids are holding on well. Poor contact with the west lagging technology bad. Perpetually exhausted manpower and economic shortcomings that make mercenary armies untenable.
Plan
Horn of Africa. I have taken most of the countries I can reach outside of Mamluk guaranteed Alderaan. Outclassed by Ethiopia, but I greatly outclassed their navy. No claims by Mamluk in Ethiopia. Alderaan can be fed to my vassal during this war. Potential pitfalls. At least 10 years of consolidation. Weakened and angry Mamluks. The worthless Ethiopian Trade Node. Even more development facing away from Europe.

It is on this day that we honor the lives lost in the crucial battle of Alpha Caeli. After years of war, the Federation was able to strike a crippling blow against the Klingon Empire, but not without taking casualties of our own.
It was this battle that resulted in the current state of the Klingon Empire, still struggling to rebuild to their former height from before their war with the Federation. In the years after, the Husnak Ascendancy declared war against the weakened Klingon Empire, a war that is still being waged despite both weakened states battering themselves against one another. Should one gain a significant advantage over the other and win that war, that will define what threats the Federation will face in the quadrant.
The coalition between the Ferangi Alliance, and the Sheliak Corporate is making headway into the territory of the Romulan Empire. While the Federation is not directly involved, we continue to show support to our historic friends the Ferangi. Many Ferangi citizens of the Federation have friends or relatives in the Alliance that are seeking to loosen the hold of the totalitarian Romulans in the quadrant. There is talk of a faction in league with the Romulans, however they have been present for only the initial battles of the war. They are called the Fen Domar States, and there are rumors that they were forced to pull back to their own territory to repel an outside threat of unknown origin. The rumors don't end there. Talk of entire worlds not only being occupied, but soon laying down their resistance to join fully with this occupying force within the span of a few months have some Federation citizens nervous.
Nevertheless, the Federation itself is now once again at peace, and is devoting resources back into the extensive terraforming programs that were in progress before the attacks from the Cardassian Union and Klingon Empire. In the last five years, six new planets have been made suitable for the multitude of species that are living together in the Federation. The future is looking prosperous for the Federation.

>>8316Yep, and I'm actually in a good position right now as a result. So I'm building up to make every light year be something that gets paid for dearly if another power invades.

>>8318Coward strats!
So I let them have a couple of occupied planets, and then went out of my way to just ignore that and just start obliterating their spaceports. Then I occupied a planet as far away from my territory as possible to drive them away. Once I'd bled them of raw resources, I started to go after their fleet. I'd engage until I was at risk of losing some of my important ships, then bail. My ships would appear back and available for use somewhere deep in my territory where it was safe, and the Klingon fleet just got more and more damaged and had nowhere to go for repairs. So I won by merit of ruining the Klingon economy, essentially.

>>8315 but don't you have to keep them from assimilating other planets as well?
>>8316 oh yeah, that was (I think) the guy who left during the rehost and wanted us to crashed so he could rejoin the mp game. He was also doing the Banu Rassi challenge at one point. That's funny because I wanted to go back to listen to the arguing. :P
seems like a good plan!

But yes, I thought it was a good strategy as well. All the damage that was done to me in the process was fixed easily enough.

>>8324I was able to make a bit of time. In the first war with the Cardassian Union, their primary target was the Cardassian Republic, not the Federation. However, as they would need to eventually attack me directly, I could let them have a few early victories against the Republic as I dealt with the Klingons. The Klingons were attacking the Federation directly in their own war, not as an ally of the Cardassians. So I dealt with the Klingons first, before swirling around to deal with the Cardassians.
In the end I was able to bring both to a White Peace, which suits me fine. I'm actually not looking to expand my territory again any time soon. There are a lot of planets I've yet to colonize within my own borders. I'll let my enemies fight among themselves for a while.

>>8328 That sums it up pretty well!
In the first, France declared war on Aragon, and Aragon had a vassal Savoy. But rather than joining the war like a normal vassal, Savoy was a scutage vassal, so it never joined the war. So while France was at war with Aragon, it declared a separate (negotiated?) war on Savoy which Aragon couldn't join because it was already at war with France. Under normal circumstances I would say, yeah, it's an exploit and should probably have a rule against it, but the war ended with a peace deal between France and Aragon in which France got land from Savoy, so either way, France needed to declare war and the result was ok with both France AND Aragon, the two nations directly involved. Why Venice (the host) was so against it, I'm really not sure. As far as I'm concerned, the issue resolved itself.
The Ottomans and France allying is a bigger issue that happens in multiplayer games - coalitions recruit the strongest useful allies available. I can see both sides of the issue and I don't think there should be a rule against it. However I think it is generally bad for the game and should be discouraged. But it also depends on the way people are playing. As it is, super-powerful France doesn't really bother me because he doesn't seem to want to destroy my nation or the HRE, but if he just goes after Aragon repeatedly, I could see that as a problem that players (in game) should do something about. The Ottomans player is of the "it's ok if I kill you because you can move to a different country" mentality and is most likely to cause problems in a mega-coalition. As far as the argument, I'm on the side of less rules being better.
It looks like I'll be picking up (and hopefully installing) a radiator tomorrow!

>>8326Exactly, so I'm spending my energy credits on terraforming, and minerals on making sure my ships are upgraded. I'm a bit over capacity, but colonies and sapceports will fix that, maybe even let me field a little bit more.
>>8327Oh the Klingons aren't at risk. But the Romulans might be.

>>8332I mean. If the injured party agreed with it then it is rather excessive to impose, isn't it? The second one is more reasonable, but begs the question of what happens in areas where a similar thing is possible on a smaller scale. I do think it would be good to have something in the rules that ultimately discourages things that make the game less enjoyable, like limiting the selection of certain "privilege" countries multiple times in a row.

Honestly, I'm surprised at how well the models hold up zoomed in. I think I'll enjoy this game for a few playthroughs.
