The infinite content. The creative works put out by the modding community is my main source of inspiration nowadays. The maps, the music, the mods -- it’s all fantastic. I also just really like Doom. The feeling of the engine, visuals, the enemy roster, the weapons, it all feels “right”. The gameplay is simply perfect. Well, almost. Excluding some of those finicky physics bugs of course, but we’ve grown to lovehate them

"My view is that everyone is forgetting that Anne Andres is a human being with emotions, and a desire to be accepted, as we all are. As a fellow human being, I chose to support her, as she chooses to support me and all of our fellow lifters." Ms. Gill, who got second place, sportswoman

What can we learn from this complex history of unfolding polycrises? We can start by observing how climate change (regardless of its source), pandemics, mass migrations, the hollowing out of the money supply, over-extended military commitments, the rise of new threats, declines in harvests and grain supplies, the hubris of ruling elites and extremes of wealth-power inequality all feed off of and reinforce each other. Put another way, polycrisis is endemic to complex, interconnected systems. If the problems were limited to 1+1+1+1+1=5, the empire could maintain its coherence and adapt in ways to resolve the multiple overlapping crises. But emergent systems--that is, complex, interconnected systems--are not just a collection of dynamics; the resulting polycrisis has its own dynamics and unique features that are distinct from the features of the five sub-crises. In other words, 1+1+1+1+1=15, and the system / empire is overwhelmed and collapses. This is why polycrises are different from existential crises: the system could handle one, two or even three crises with its existing resources and structures, but a fourth anf fifth crises changes the nature of the threat.

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a common form of dysautonomia.

New Zealand aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, and to accomplish this, the government is implementing substantial changes in the power and transport sectors. By 2030, the government plans to achieve 100% renewable electricity and ban the import of petrol cars by 2032. However, the limited hosting capacity of New Zealand's distribution network for photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) could be a barrier to achieve these goals. Upgrading the current power system infrastructure to support high levels of PV and EV penetration is an available solution but is expensive and time-consuming. Peer to Peer (P2P) energy trading can be a potential solution to enhance the PV and EV hosting capacity of current distribution network without requiring significant upgrades. P2P energy trading enables local trading of power between prosumers and consumers through a local market, reducing reliance on centralized grids and alleviating the strain on power system components. This thesis aims to investigate the potential of P2P energy trading to enhance PV and EV hosting capacity and assess its impacts on the stability of New Zealand's distribution network through real-world case studies.

The term "malfeasance" refers to wrongdoing or misconduct, especially by a public official. While it might capture some elements of unethical behavior in the context you mentioned, a more precise word might be needed to describe the specific conduct of intentionally designing systems for profit that may lead to harm or negative consequences. Here are some alternatives: 1. **Unethical Practices**: This term encompasses actions that go against moral principles, particularly in a business context. 2. **Exploitation**: This might be used if the focus is on taking unfair advantage of users, manipulating their behavior for profit. 3. **Manipulation**: This term could describe the act of controlling or playing upon user behavior in a clever or unscrupulous way. 4. **Recklessness**: If the harm is not intentional but results from a disregard for the potential consequences, this term could be fitting. 5. **Irresponsibility**: This term could describe a lack of consideration for the potential negative effects on users, especially if there is a known risk of harm. 6. **Predatory Practices**: If the behavior is intentionally harmful and designed to prey on users, this term might be appropriate. The choice among these terms (or others) would depend on the specific aspects of the behavior you want to emphasize, such as intent, the nature of the harm, or the ethical considerations involved.

It's evident that you are referring to a very specific convergence of technologies and adult entertainment. By combining the physical sensation provided by a product like Fleshlight, modelled after Kenzie Reeves, with the visual experience offered by Apple Vision Pro, and synchronising them through "teledildonics," the industry could create an immersive and personalised sexual entertainment experience. This concept shows how technology can be utilised to enhance traditional forms of adult entertainment and bring them closer to a virtual reality or augmented reality experience. It represents a significant step towards more interactive and engaging content in your sector, potentially transforming the way people interact with and consume adult media. If you have any further inquiries or thoughts on this topic, please let me know.

Whatever we tolerate now—whatever we turn a blind eye to—whatever we rationalize when it is inflicted on others, whether in the name of securing racial justice or defending democracy or combatting fascism, will eventually come back to imprison us, one and all. Watch and learn.

What's the name of the story whose premise is that in the same way cheques never tear along the perforations, nothing is stronger than the material, the conclusion is, remove all the material and the remaining nothing, no longer weakened by material, will be the strongest and most immutable objects on Earth The story you are referring to is called "The Nine Billion Names of God" by Arthur C. Clarke. In this science fiction short story, a group of monks hire two computer engineers to help them list all the possible names of God. Once they complete the task, the monks believe that the universe will come to an end, and the story concludes with a revelation that ties in with the idea you mentioned in your question. Specifically, the conclusion is that the universe may be seen as a form of material, and that removing all material from the universe would leave behind a state of nothingness that is more perfect and indestructible than anything that came before it.
