There's a huge difference between customer needs driving the development process and customers driving the process. Customers know their work, and they know what they need to accomplish. It's _our_ job to collaborate with them and figure out the best way to accomplish that.

The splatter doesn't stop there! Splatter consequences are not uncommon on rolls. You're going to leave a bloody af scene everywhere.

Reading Your Roll Roll your pool. Read the single highest die. 6: Full Redemption. Clean-ish. Works just like you needed it to, but almost always in a weird or bloody way. Describe your moment. 5: Short of Heaven. It works, but it’s… messy. The Shepherd picks one Splatter Complication. This is the texture of operating inside an institution that, even before capturing the Christ, spent decades engineering to work against people like you. But deflected and twisted by the Luciferian influence ominously protecting you. 4: Between. You still wholly succeed, because Lucifer’s blessing still holds here. But the church’s countermeasures twist it around. Unavoidable Splatter Complication. The Shephard also adds reinforcements or a narrative complication as the Cathedral defends itself, unless the player sacrifices a Tithe or two Flesh. 3: Falling. You only partially succeed, as Lucifer’s gifts falter until the weight of the Cathedral’s Christ-blood fueled might. You gain some progress, but risking another roll is needed for your goal. In dangerous and risky situations, you may also suffer failure harms. 2: Through Hell. You fail, badly. And no failure is clean. The Shepherd describes how the situation gets worse before anyone can react. If violence is involved, you lose Flesh. One Flesh for standard hostility. Two or more for heavy weaponry and advanced defenses. 1: Complete Damnation. For just a moment, it seems like you might succeed. Because the Cathedral is domineering, deceptive, and cruel when it controls the situation. Describe how it all goes (hilariously) catastrophically wrong. The Shepherd picks a Splatter Complication, damages one or two more Flesh than going Through Hell (even where Flesh is not risked), and adds a new obstacle or blocked path or an immediate new severe complication. Splatter Complications The Shepherd picks one when you roll a 1, 4, or 5. Please note the name “Splatter”. All versions of these complications should fit within that category. Even what were non-violent actions. Lucifer, the Cathedral, and the universe all have a strange sense of humor. • Coverage. You are now visibly, thoroughly saturated in something. The cameras have a clean shot of the… mess you are covered in. Escalation ticks one. • Collateral. Something adjacent to your target is also affected. The Shepherd decides what. It becomes relevant. • Inventory. You lose, break, expend, or involuntarily donate a piece of equipment or valuable find. The Shepherd decides which. You learn this when you reach for it. • Audience. Someone is watching who should not be. They may not act now. But they will act. When you least expect. • Mess. You have created a Zone hazard. Describe it. Make it something that requires several mops, a new route or navigation plan, and a deep pause. The Money Is Always Dirty. When you follow a financial trail to something the church does not want found, fill one or more desirable clock segments, resolve a complication, or gain some other substantial benefit. Every system in this building connects to the money. The money connects to something ugly. Pull the thread. The Sermon Goes Long. When a First Church authority figure starts monologuing (and they will, because they love the sound of their own conviction), a Tithe allows everyone to act freely until the authority is harmed or manhandled. No roll. The leadership cannot help themselves. They’ve aped righteousness so long they cannot stop, even when stopping would save them. Use that. The Meek Are Neglected. The poor selected to “work off” their blessing, those with little to tithe, those forced into menial duties. These are the people most church members very willfully ignore. Their requests are ignored. Their prayers are ignored. Their distress is ignored. The church neither exp

Big Med is not always our friend.

My friends and family have become addicts because of Big Med. Can’t tell which side of the road to drive on. Running into buildings. Frail.

I was on a pharm for about 2 weeks and couldn’t even figure out how to fill out a check.

This paper finds that markets began pricing the U.S. enrollment cliff years before it arrived. Universities exposed to declining birth cohorts lost students and revenue but often offset the impact through cost reductions and reserve building. spkl.io/633297p2xR

Warmer colors indicate sharper birth declines; cooler colors indicate growth or stability.

A convolutional neural network from UC San Diego reads crystal symmetry straight from an EBSD Kikuchi pattern, with no candidate phase list. The university reported at least 95% accuracy.
Infographic titled AI named EBSD crystal symmetry with at least 95% accuracy. Subtitle: in the SEM, a neural network classified each Kikuchi pattern without a phase list. Four stations run left to right: 1, Scan, the beam scans grains. 2, Capture, Kikuchi bands form. 3, Classify, a network names the symmetry. 4, Check, compare to Hough indexing. Central figure: 6 space groups, learned by a follow-up network from one fixed detector setup, where conventional indexing asks for up to five candidates. People: polish surfaces, set kV, tilt and distance, choose frame averaging, check new phases. Key figures: 5 to 10 frames averaged, accuracy largely held. 14.3 mm against 19.1 mm trained, accuracy dropped. 71% on real patterns for a simulation-trained model, from a preprint. Why it matters: a pattern classifier carries the detector setup it learned on, so the AI has to know the instrument.

It turns out I was wrong (a recurring theme today) but it was NBD because I left early. I jumped a train from Brussels Central to Brussels Midi and was still early.

I learned something important, Midi & Central are 2 different stations. If you stay face down in ur phone u don’t figure things out.

So yeah if you're a guy or have male friends and they're making fun of the situation, even after you explain the gravity- you have 3 things you gotta do
1. drop them as a friend, permanently
2. figure out a way to report them because they're going to or have already hurt someone
3. And if necessary
