"I should not let you enter," the old man said, gazing unhappily at Phoebe standing beside Penny in her dream.
"Please. You're mind controlling her, so I think you would have stopped me if you wanted to,"
Phoebe replied.
"Not control. Humans don't 'control' the air, they breathe it. In the same way, I feed on Penny's psychic energy."
"I see. And when you said you had infinite power, what exactly did you mean?"
"I do. But my power is dead," Death said. "That is how I am."
"And you can exist in the psychic realm, but not the regular mindscape?"
"Sometimes."
"What defines those times?"
"It depends. People dying, obviously. About a quarter of all deaths in the galaxy aren't Sprilnav."
"A quarter?"
"Yes."
"So I assume they're killing themselves."
"Yes."
"And that energy isn't a constant influx?"
"Somewhat. It comes in both a trickle and waves. But I know you're going to ask more. The answer is that the Progenitors give conceptual protection to the Sprilnav. The further away a Sprilnav is from them in space, time, and more, the weaker they are. That is why Elders can survive impacts that could vaporize metal, not just their implants and psychic energy."
"Conceptual weight seems to feature heavily in your power," Phoebe said.
"It does."
"And you are a concept. If you fought Fate, for example, would you win?"
"Depending on what you mean by winning. Really, concepts cannot overcome each other."
Phoebe smiled. That meant that Death would want a way to do that. Probably the hivemind was the way. With that answer, she continued.
"Concepts cannot overcome each other? So you don't have a fate, and Fate can't die?"
"Not really."
"Can you die?"
"No."
"Does Fate have a fate?"
"I don't know. But really, there's no way I'll tell you that even if I find out."
"How many people have died?" Phoebe asked.
"Define people, and define death."
"People as in sentient and sapient beings, which are capable of thought and planning. Death as in the ceasing of characteristics of life such as the termination of blood or gaseous material within the living being, as well as the ceasing of psychic energy and brain activity within the being, for those that have some equivalent to brains."
"It is not specific. Quintillions, at least. A lot more, really. There's many that don't quite fit the condition. If you count the moments before the great war, you'd need exponents."
"We have numbers for that."
"Okay. Sprilnav deaths alone, even with the conceptual madness of the... what do they call it? The Source war. Yes. It's quite a lot," Death said.
"Give me a number, please."
"Fine. 39 undecillion."
Phoebe was silent. There were so many Sprilnav that it was stupid. Even thinking about the level of that fall was truly insane. And she assumed that during the fall, they had a very bad time. It would have been madness and anarchy with the added characteristic that everyone also had nukes and shields.
"There's more than the observable universe, you know."
"How many died in the aftermath of the Source war?"
Death frowned. "1 in 30,000 Elders lived. 1 in 850,000 regular Sprilnav lived. Of those, 875 Sprilnav didn't end their lives."
"875 thousand? Million?"
"No."
Phoebe thought that was sad. Basically, in the whole galaxy, every Sprilnav had died, at least statistically. The number alive right now, even still outnumbering the galaxy, was a rounding error. If what he said was true, the Source had killed more people than any other being, alive or dead. And that assumed there weren't any other civilizations of a similar scale to them.
She also didn't bother to ask how the Sprilnav population was now so large. Whether it was inbreeding or cloning didn't matter much. But it helped to explain why so many Elders were so crazy all the time. She needed to stay on task, however.
"Alright. Back to you. You're not a psychopomp?"
"No. I do not interfere with souls. I am the concept of death."
"So, do you get energy from stars blowing up?"
"That is not dying."
"But people believe that supernovae are the deaths of stars."
"That does not shift the concept itself."
That was interesting. So Death wasn't a belief harvester, then. Not the type that actually was shaped by the belief of sapient beings in their actions. Concepts existed and were finite and infinite in scope. Maybe some were truly finite. They could conflict with each other, and their influence would generate a weakening effect, like destructive interference with alternate types of waves. But that did not mean that was always so. Perhaps they could do the opposite.
It was likely that Death worked with Fate at least sometimes and that if Entropy existed, it was most concerned with the Sprilnav. Conceptual protection by the Progenitors was another interesting concept that she hoped to probe if Nova ever returned. She did have the feeling he was either doing everything for fun or entirely serious. He was certainly not quite there in the head after the experience that Death had shared with her.
But for conceptual beings like him, there were rules and regulations, perhaps bound by whatever absolute concept they fit within. Whether they were hard rules or not was unknown. Defined in their structure, but not their limits. And perhaps that meant there was more to figure out here. "Interesting. And if you need to feed off psychic energy, why not use psychic amplifiers?"
"It's not the same quality. Humans don't drink pure water only; they drink it for the minerals and other healthy products within it. It's the same for me."
"But you can't die. Why would it matter?"
"I can diminish. It would affect things, though not as you expect."
"That is interesting also," Phoebe replied. "Are you suggesting that you could diminish, which means other concepts can as well?"
"Not directly," Death nodded with a smile. He stumbled, clutching his head. Phoebe felt a vast energy press down upon them and could feel something brush against her mind like a bullet just grazing the skin. In that one motion, she'd felt more inherent danger than all previous enemies combined, so much danger that it bypassed her artificial instincts entirely to lay thickly on her tongue as an acrid taste.
She didn't fall to the ground, and neither did Penny. They stood there, searching for the source of the pressure.
"What is this?" she asked.
"Luck..."
"Luck is a concept that watches over others?"
A swirling vortex opened up around Phoebe, parallel to the ground. Light and other equivalents shone out of it, dancing around its interior, piercing the layers of dark black fog. The mindscape trembled slightly, and the ground underneath Penny and Phoebe cracked. A small voice whispered out of it, though it was easily audible.
"No more."
"Look, if you're really Luck, then-"
"No more," the voice repeated. "You are done here. Do not come back."
Phoebe snorted. "If you think this little mysterious act is going to intimidate me, you're wrong. And I will."
"Not today."
"You don't get to decide-"
"I decide all."
Phoebe's head seemed to split with pain, and she found herself lying dizzily next to Penny. The human's chest was heaving, and sweat laced her eyebrows and cheeks.
"That went well," Phoebe coughed. The headache receded far too slowly. But she'd still learned a lot. Conceptual beings had concerns, for one. They likely cared about getting stronger in some cases. Humanity had some sort of outside context power, but more than that, the hivemind itself could actually use it.
"It did. Thanks, and sorry you couldn't get more."

"Hello, Rank 10 Ambassador Liinara. To what do we owe the pleasure?" Ambassador Varirlar asked, letting a small smile curve around her snout. Putting the other party at ease would make this conversation easier, especially since she suspected this call wasn't just a concerned friend.
"You might want to sit down for this," her counterpart said. "Remember Exii'darii?"
Varirlar froze.
"Don't tell me you let her free."
"We didn't. The Sprilnav broke her out."
"Elders?"
"Not that we saw. But it is likely they are working for one," Liinara said, her antennae twitching. Varirlar knew there was a pheromone effect that went on with the Vinarii, which still couldn't be fully translated into description by words.
"Alright. You know how serious this is, I assume?"
"Yes."
"Many factions in the Alliance, especially the more recently joined ones, will not be happy."
"We understand."
"I can speak on behalf of the Alliance in asking a request for an official apology. Furthermore," Varirlar said, holding up a single claw, "I want your government to share the full containment procedure down to the alloy composition of the materials. Assuming you actually kept her in a prison cell for over a decade, that meant you had a way to keep her from escaping. Tell us how."
"You wish to recapture her?"
"We are not as naive as we once were," Varirlar said. "The Hateful Galaxy has taught the rest of the Alliance the same hard lessons it taught me. The Breyyanik did not forget its nature when we settled Ceres."
"Ah, so you wish to either use her or kill her."
"There is no use for her," Varirlar said. "Unless our scientists can propose a solution, there will be no use for her. She will be put down like the dog she is." "Then we are in agreement."
"Yes. The Alliance and the Vinarii's relationship has been tense for a while. We haven't spoken with Calanii or Ashnav'viinir in several years now. Why have you decided to diverge from us? Do we no longer suit your interests?"
"Not exactly. Even besides the... tumultuous events of Humanity's first contact, there are other powers at play. And there is evidence, in some cases, of Sprilnav interference." Liinara tapped her skull three times, the Vinarii way of saying that someone was a few branches short of a tree.
"Interference. Are there ways to prevent it?"
"Not officially. If you wish to discuss terms, I can set you up with one of our intelligence agencies. They will not be willing to share national secrets for nothing, however."
"I think this... debacle should count enough as recompense, don't you?" Varirlar smiled.
"Perhaps. But I am not who must be convinced. With that said, I wish you luck, Ambassador. I am glad that your Alliance has moved to take a more realistic path. And Ashnad'darii is still imprisoned, I presume?"
"Under much heavier guard once this call ends. But yes, she is still in a cell. Yes, she has implants. But she is leverage."
"Her usefulness is little," Liinara warned. "Calanii won't care at all about her."
"Everyone keeps saying that. But let's just say there are reasons she isn't dead."
"You should kill her."
"We should. We maybe could. Assuming that the official way is still trying to get an implant under her chitin to kill her instead of just launching her into the sun. Granted, that would kill her eventually."
"She is dangerous. Unable to be trusted."
"She was broken years ago," Varirlar said. "From what I've heard, she wears human-made clothes now instead of going naked. Plus, she has given us insights on Vinarii society, particularly involving its hierarchy."
"You're using her as a spy."
"A spy that hasn't seen a Vinarii face in almost twenty years? Pretty crappy at that job, I'd say. We both know that she killed hundreds of thousands personally, and was willing to kill many more. If she did not have her uses, she would have already been killed. Plus, there's a safety procedure in place."
"If you mean a bomb collar, good luck with that."
Varirlar didn't mean a collar. Psychic energy monitors were closely tied to a pair of fusion bombs that were embedded in her prison's walls. Should she get too far from the natural cell, they would explode. After all, the room had a bed, bathroom, sanitized entertainment, and a food and water delivery system. She was definitely mostly rehabilitated, but her crimes would follow her for the rest of her life. Their severity made her a case that would likely never fully rejoin any society unless it was an afterlife.
"Well. This has been productive," Varirlar replied with a smile. "But unfortunately,"
"Wait. I'm here to tell you something else, as well. The Dual Systems Trading Company wants to send more ships to your Sol system."
"How many more?"
"Umm, around 400."
"Why don't you have an exact number?"
"The negotiations are still underway. But they seek to bring Vinarii products to the internal Alliance markets, particularly the small Vinarii and larger Wisselen exclaves living within."
"They wouldn't be able to get you much money, unless it's in various Alliance cash forms. There's an angle, isn't there?"
"Well, yes. We don't know it yet. But it is suspicious."
Varirlar sighed. "Have you given them special brain scans?"
"What do you... oh. You suspect that?"
"Suspicious and spontaneous changes in their policy toward the Alliance, as we are suffering from issues with Sprilnav messing with people, and wanting to send us ships? I'm not stupid, Ambassador Liinara."
"I did not mean to insinuate-"
"Sure you didn't. Now, I shall tell you something very interesting. Are you ready?"
"Yes."
"Very well," Varirlar said dramatically, adjusting her mane as she leaned forward. "The hivemind would be willing to meet with your... incapacitated members for study from afar."
"What do you mean?"
"Intelligence."
"We cannot trust it."
"I see. You are aware that you have just called all of Humanity untrustworthy, right? That's quite the insult, unprovoked."
"Apologies, Ambassador, that is not what I meant. The hivemind is likely to have its own motivations, and could be motivated to lie about what it saw."
"As could your own operatives, who could be pinned to the floor by any regular Sprilnav and chipped within a minute. Don't act like they don't have legendary hacking abilities as well. None of your systems are safe."
"And the Alliance's are?"
"With both Edu'frec and Phoebe watching over them, then yes."
"Ah, so you still think that the Sprilnav don't use AI."
"Why would they? It would threaten their own sense of superiority. If they already used AI, everyone would have a chip when they were born. There would be no resistance, because eventually a logical mind would not tolerate the constant pushback."
"You are free to believe what you do. However, my thoughts do diverge. As for Phoebe, she did a disappearing act for a while, didn't she?"
"And?"
"She isn't exactly reliable either," Liinara replied.
"If you're drowning in the ocean, would you rather have an island that storms a little or nothing at all?" "I fail to see how her situation compares to that analogy. It was a very serious problem, if I understand it."
"And what do you suggest, then? Constantly bring her down over it until she resents us and shoves her hands through our hearts? Phoebe's a person, Ambassador. An Alliance citizen, a Luna citizen, and even more importantly than that, a friend. It's quite hurtful that you are suggesting such, unless it is the official stance of the Vinarii government. I assure you, the mess with your company trying to invade us is not resolved, either. Words cannot heal what actions injured. If you want reconciliation, it would be best to take the first steps yourself. Do not tell the Alliance to alienate Phoebe just because she made a mistake."
"Your own intelligence agencies would do the same in many cases."
"I fail to see how her situation compares to that analogy," Varirlar sighed. "Phoebe is the single most useful asset that the Alliance has come across that is not a purely psychic entity such as the hivemind or Gaia, or some paragon of a species like Dilandekar or Penny."
"So she's an asset, and not a person?"
"Please, Liinara. In the world we live in, the galaxy we live in, everyone is both. Do not lie to yourself. However, the Alliance wishes to show its people a shred of respect so it does not drag them through the mud when they made a mistake. Even before that, rehabilitation was the goal of Humanity. Why else do you think that we have prisons instead of just a wall where the bad people stand in front of to be shot? If a starving mother stole something, that doesn't mean we chop off her hands. We get her the help she and her child needs, so they can rejoin Alliance society and raise us all higher."
"Your Alliance has not fixed poverty like it said, then."
"Kind of difficult when one of your species is at a near constant feudal civil war, and another had a third of its populace halfway through insurrection. I assume that the Vinarii Empire has no such problems, correct? And again, I remind you that you are supposed to represent its official position, not your own."
Varirlar suspected that the Ambassador here had something else going on, as well. Whether it was mind control, being paid to screw this up, or something else entirely, this wasn't how such a conversation was meant to go. She only was continuing it to see if Liinara slipped up on something interesting.
"My position is as a Rank 10 Ambassador. You would do well to respect that."
"Respecting positions instead of people does not make sense when the position is respectable and the people are not. You have insulted Phoebe, Humanity, and the Alliance with your words. Were I to relay them, you might see a more hostile stance to the Vinarii Empire. Remember that you have agreements with us."
"Yes. Times have changed."
"I am sure that the Hive Emperor would not exactly like to hear what you have said. But do not worry, Ambassador. We will learn the truth of your words soon enough, one way or another. That is all for now. Perhaps I will ask for a Rank 11 Ambassador next time, to save myself the insults."
She ended the call and sighed. Varirlar could spin the wheel of chance, but the two answers were likely either mind control or someone being paid off to harm relations between them. Given Liinara's expressions, she didn't assume it was translation errors to blame. And this call was on a secure line, even more so than most.
Really, the Vinarii could be doing it. But she smelled something was up. There was likely a very rich Vinarii who the Sprilnav had either made to work with them or forced to, using mind control. Perhaps it really was the answer to both. But she knew not to just assume that. When you had a hammer, everything looked like a nail. It was an apt human saying for the situation.
Varirlar contacted several officials after she wrote her report with the attached recording of the situation. She'd done her best to appear calm, though responding to Liinara was not the orthodox method. But this way, she'd drawn out a lot more on how she viewed the Alliance, giving them a window into whatever was happening, blurry and small though it may have been.
She didn't really think that Calanii would have condoned this. Indeed, she might have just had her last diplomatic call ever. Assuming, of course, that the Sprilnav hadn't managed to chip him, too. If they had, though, the Alliance's situation would get bad fast. Luckily they were already at war with Aphid. Everything was already mobilized, and extra listening satellites in deep space had been set up. The last time the Vinarii Royal Navy had come to visit Humanity, they had not been ready. Perhaps now they were.

Phoebe stood on the surface of Mercury, just underneath the great mass of the Mercury-class gun that had been built there. The first one that is. Now there were two great behemoths above her head, rising hundreds of meters into the sky. Not that Mercury really had a sky. Maybe someday, that would change.
For now, though, what mattered was the task at hand. The guns were already checked and cleared for firing. A small misalignment had destroyed a Charon-class gun in the past, so they were taking no chances with this. Now, the massive laser would serve its purpose. And, of course, the results would be live streamed.
The planet itself was a world almost covered in machinery. The atmosphere was toxic, filled with aerosols and gaseous industrial waste. There were no detectable life signs on it, whether they were communications, psychic emissions, or even just patches of warmth away from machinery. No subterranean life either, of any kind. Not even microbes had been spared from Aphid's apparent purge, if they had ever existed on this rock at all.
And Aphid's signature station designs orbited it also, whipping around its poisoned atmosphere at several miles a second. That was a sign that everyone on the planet, if there had ever been any, was dead.
A stream of ships poured in and out, guarded by a vast military fleet. In the Sol system, the amplifiers were powering up, and Brey was starting to form the outside of the portals she'd use for the guns, one on each side of the planet, at the equator. Her analysis had determined the areas in which opposite strikes would do the most damage. Phoebe had ensured to check for subterranean activity using Gaia's matter senses.
That had revealed large underground development areas, where presumably more of Aphid's mechanical drones were going to be made. Brey finished forming the portal as Phoebe took a last look at the spires of Aphid's world, ready to see how they'd do when the lasers hit.
She moved the stealth ships around the planet, continuing to watch the shield. It wasn't at full power, likely because Aphid wasn't expecting an attack. She didn't have a presence here in the mindscape, either. She was using far dumber programs as proxies across the Q-comms connections so that he could not detect a hint of anything wrong.
Combined with the Alliance's stealth technology, it would allow for a total surprise attack. Brey finished building up the portals in front of the guns, and Phoebe couldn't help but notice how deep the portals looked. They didn't seem like a flat plane like usual but had a sort of three-dimensionality to them this time. Interesting.
"Fire!" Phoebe ordered. Brey's avatar, which was standing beside an android back on Earth, grinned.
The barrels of the guns glowed cherry red, and vibrations radiated out from their heavily reinforced bases. Even with the android's solar shades, the light was still incredibly bright. Just from underneath it, the temperature was reaching almost 300 degrees. Just as she'd calculated.
On the other side of the portal, things got interesting. Brey's portal was invisible, but the energy coming from it was anything but. It almost looked like Aphid's planet was being impaled through a pole of pure white light. That light slammed down onto the planet's surface in three seconds, passing through the atmosphere as if it wasn't even there. Gaia stood beside the portals in the Sol system, blueshifting the light as much as possible. Instead of visible light, most of the weapon's energy, at least on the other side, was gamma. It was enough radiation to kill anything on the planet, for sure. Or to fry any electronic systems, such as a resident AI's servers.
The pure power of the two guns released a constant molten shockwave of a mix of vaporized rock, metal, and most other materials rushing outward. Buildings were snapped like twigs, their ends going flying but never landing. The heat melted others, and earthquakes in some areas that hadn't yet been struck by the spreading destruction were rampant.
The planet didn't explode or anything. The military ships that were far enough away to remain working just moved away, activating shields that fizzled out due to the intense energy beyond them. That energy would have destroyed Phoebe's android had Brey not used the portal to shield them as well. And as for her observation ships, their stealth coatings were quickly fried.
But the reinforced hulls were made specifically to withstand the effects of this for as long as possible. Cities of metal, all empty except for countless billions of drones wandering their streets, were wiped away. And then the portals began moving, shining around the equator. The effects spread and repeated, with the seas of methane catching fire before they, too, were vaporized in the path of the Mercury-class guns.
The atmosphere was boiled and stripped off the planet within hours. Most of the factories and foundries in the city were turned to either molten slag, collapsed by giant earthquakes, or vanished entirely. The devastation in the equatorial region was total. There was nothing left in a solid band 1500 miles wide around the equator of the planet, save for the broken bases of destroyed skyscrapers.
Further out, the damage was from earthquakes, snapped power lines, and broken pipes, as well as rubble that had fallen onto transport roads and collapsed tunnels. Alone, perhaps the problems could have been dealt with. But not together.
"Just to be sure," Brey asked. "You don't need the remains, right?"
"No. I will make what I need, that way I know it is safe," Phoebe replied, looking at Brey's avatar. It had the signature black fur of her empowered form, with red eyes and sharpened claws. The armor looked cool, as well.
"Alright. I'm going to go dump a few billion tons of plasma on it, then."
Phoebe smiled. "Alright. Have fun."
"I did. Good job on the guns. Get enough of those, and it'll be like the full Dyson swarm's hitting you in a straight line."
"That's the plan. The test was more than successful, and Aphid got a taste of the justice we deserve."

I tend towards the verbose so TL;DR right here:
I'm set to inherit ~120 rural acres in the US South. It has some good/bad points. It is quite far from where life has led me to put down roots. I don't know what I don't know and I wonder if y'all have faced similar situations in your life.
Geography: NW Alabama but tending towards Birmingham. The footiest of the foothills of the Appalachians. Not flat, not mountains. Property is bordered by a non-seasonal, 20 foot wide, creek on two sides and has a county blacktop road cutting it into basically 60 acres and 40 acre plots. The bordering river is navigable by small boat/personal watercraft but sees only incidental fisherman, no docks or ramps for a while up or downstream. It flows slowly, sometimes backwards when far downstream locks/dams stop flow. Zero flood risk.
Land Ecology: The property is about 70 percent woodland, unmanaged, and 30 percent hay field, casually managed by leasee that cuts it. Some older hardwoods but much of it is scrubby pine. Healthy deer, turkey, possum, rabbit populations.
History: The pasture was once the row crop field of my paternal grandfather and great grandfather, perhaps even further back. A ruined wall is where washing was done in the past. Long disused fish capture/raising ponds recount my great grandfather's side business selling bait for long gone fishing camps. A (now inactive, more on this below) is where my father and his siblings bathed growing up. The 40 acres across the street has been leased for mountain top strip mining 3 times in living memory, about 20 years apart, most recently 10 years ago. Reclaiming efforts that are mandated by law were performed haphazardly and amount to some grading of the land and some pine saplings strewn about. The spring is long dead. The river, once clear to the bottom when my father was young, is a permanent zero visibility clay orange from the mining operations of decades ago.
Economy: The land is a few miles outside of a town that has been dying for decades. They just closed the local school not too many years ago so even that vestige of strength is gone. The mines are slowly folding as well. The feneral population is best described as elderly or addicted. Sad/fading churches, potholes, and kudzu are the icons that I note from afar. The rest of folks, those who could, have left. Drug abuse and crime, petty and otherwise are not at all uncommon.
Fiscal burdens: There are no liens or other intangible issues with the property, I'm an only child and the property is mine by birthright if I want if. Yearly taxes are small due to no improvements on the property, though this may go up if inheriting it triggers an accessor visit. I think my parents are paying $1200 or so a year in taxes, but it could be half of that.
Personal thoughts/questions, aka the meat and potatoes of this post that I'd love to talk about:
I hate to see the family land that, including my kids, albeit briefly, have played on, at least 6 or 7 generations have owned simply be sold. But I am realistic and the complications, the ones I've considered listed below, are tough.
I don't live near there anymore, I'm 12 hours away by car and I've seen friends attempt to manage two homes, or a home and a cabin, and it's a heck of a job. Keeping up two places, even if one is rustic, is a stressor to even think about. Roads/trails need maintenance. This is further complicated by the fact that, due to the economic issues above, any improvements are subject to abuse or theft. Garbage will be dumped, unattended RVs would be noticed and vandalized/stolen/squatted in, cabins would see break-ins and even AC coils or well pumps or electric wires stolen for scrap metal sale.
There's a small interest from a group of my goodest friends in creating a group owned cabin there. That would help with the issue of not having a presence there by spreading responsibility across more people but, honestly, they don't know the local taboos and idiosyncrasies that this would entail dealing with. Plus 'good walls make good neighbors' or something like that and I'm not sure I want to rism complicating a friendship with the worlds smallest commune, offgrid, cabin homestead.
But, I have always wanted to build an off grid retreat of sorts... It's not impossible insofar as my wife's and my careers are doing well enough to keep it on the back burner, nor do we need the money that would come from a sale of the property.
Anyway... Thanks for your thoughts. Until the time comes, at least 10 or 15+ years for my kids to finish school, I continue to dream.

Thanks for looking & have a fantastic day!

After a final discard, it's so tempting to want to know where your ex is going, who your ex is surrounded by, and if your ex is happy or miserable.
In my case, we were married for 15 years. I helped my ex through two college degrees, gave up my career for her, and moved across the United States for HER dream job.
After the person I loved turned on me, lied about me, made false legal accusations, and destroyed me on many levels, I couldn't understand anything anymore.
However, I realized that knowing ANYTHING about her, or making comparisons about the quality of our lives, would be detrimental to my mental health.
After I was served divorce papers with her new address on them, I battled with myself not to use Google Maps to look up the address and see her new surroundings. To this day, over 2 years later, I have successfully avoided this temptation. In fact, she now lives just a few miles away, and I consciously choose alternate routes to avoid driving on that road altogether.
My ex had an amazing career and, in effect, destroyed mine in many ways.
When we were together, we were fortunate enough to afford the luxuries in life, take amazing vacations, dine at nice restaurants, and enjoy various forms of entertainment. Now, all of that is gone for me. I'm struggling to find employment, borrowing money for rent, gas, and other expenses, and living in a way that is inconsistent with my former lifestyle.
Even though temptation hits me to check up on her, I have resisted, and I suggest you ask YOURSELF the following questions at moments of weakness because they have helped me:
Does knowing where my ex now lives serve any purpose to improve my post-marriage situation? No! Would confirming that my ex has a much better lifestyle due to her career just make me feel worse? Yes!
Will snooping around on social media and seeing posts or comments by my ex, who has chosen to be a stranger, serve any purpose to make me feel better about my life or situation? No! Would it be upsetting to see her having a good time, kissing someone else, or reading more lies she tells about me hurt me even more? Yes!
Would asking any mutual friends questions about my ex and her life serve any purpose to assist me in recovering and moving forward? No! Would asking mutual friends anything about my ex place them in an uncomfortable situation that could ultimately destroy your friendship? Yes!
Will looking at old pictures of the two of you enjoying life together, at least during recovery, make you feel better about what you lost? No! Will reliving fond memories of your past with the person who made the choice to ignore those memories and destroy your relationship hurt you? Yes!
Ultimately, your ex has destroyed you and had absolutely no qualms about doing so. Your ex has shown you that you have no value in his/her life. Your ex treats absolute strangers with more respect than you. Even though you made thousands of decisions with your ex in the past as a couple, your ex was cruel enough to sever the ties between you without your input.
Deciding to end a relationship should have been mutually discussed. If your ex loved and respected you at all, there would have been obvious attempts at resolution. You would have been alerted to the problems at hand and been given a realistic opportunity to communicate and make amends. However, your ex did not respect you enough to even include you in one of the most important decisions in your lives!
Your ex has committed a self-serving act based on incorrect perceptions of you and the relationship.
When walking past complete strangers on the street, can you imagine causing them harm without just cause? You have been treated by your ex in a manner that indicates he/she valued you even less than a stranger.
Once the final discard happend, your ex demonstrated that it was now entirely pointless to have any knowledge of their life beyond that point. Why? Because having further knowledge about them serves no purpose.
Trust me, I understand how challenging it is to cease all contact with the person you believed would always be there. It's not an easy internal struggle. It illustrates that you genuinely loved and cared for this person in ways they did not reciprocate. That's not your fault.
Your ex has treated you as if you were an inanimate object. You're not wired to be that unfeeling, so it's difficult to view your ex in the same way.
Here's a strange analogy:
I learned how to drive using a 1983 Toyota Corolla hatchback wagon. Back then, Toyotas were rather unattractive and functional. There was nothing fancy about that car at all. Nevertheless, I adored that car. It meant the world to me, and I wanted to enjoy it all the time. I traveled and experienced my first taste of freedom with that car. We went on numerous adventures. I thought that car would last forever, but it didn't.
After getting an oil change, the mechanic somehow damaged my oil plug. Unbeknownst to me, oil was streaming out of my car as I drove home. Suddenly, with insufficient oil in the engine, it overheated and seized. The heart of my car died. I was heartbroken and devastated.
For months, I mourned the loss of my car. It saddened me to think about it.
The mechanic who diagnosed the cause of the car's demise offered to buy it. He said he would install a new engine, which I couldn't afford. So, I sold it.
Although it saddened me, I wanted to know what happened to it. One day, I had a friend drive me back to the auto shop and inquired about my old car. The mechanic informed me that he had installed the new engine, fixed everything, and had given MY CAR to his son, who was learning to drive! I was certain his son was loving that car as much as I did. I'm sure his son never spared a thought for the car's previous owner who suffered its loss. I then wish I had never asked. It upset me greatly, and I became depressed all over again. Knowing that it was broken for me but now out there, functioning again, made me want it back. I felt so envious of that kid! He had MY CAR!
Eventually, I moved on. I received a hand-me-down Pontiac, and it became my new passion. I loved my Pontiac and never really stopped to consider that my old Toyota was still out there, in someone else's hands, doing its thing.
About three years ago, approximately thirty years later, while looking at some old photographs, I came across my beloved Toyota again. I experienced a moment of recollection, and fond memories washed over me. I realized that I had suffered much more after discovering the fate of my car. I wished I had never known that it had a life without me. I was content thinking it would be crushed into a metal cube because I couldn't have it. I was foolish to check on it, and in retrospect, it truly had nothing to do with me anyway.
Even after all those years, I briefly felt a pang of sadness. I closed the photo album (remember those?) and decided to go for a drive in my new KIA.
New adventures await.

On memorial day I sold a vehicle that I had posted beside the road at my place of work a week before. The purchaser and I met at about four o'clock. The vehicle was unispected, registered at that time to me and had its insurance removed that day. I informed the purchaser of its issues I knew of before selling it to them. I sold it to the purchaser with a hand written bill of sale which was signed by both parties, which in general context said "I 'seller' agree to sell this vehicle 'make model and VIN number' to purchaser as is for 'agreed upon amount'" they drove away with it, unispected, uninsured and unregistered. I then received a call shortly thereafter that the vehicle had caught fire.
Now honestly it's a terrible occurrence I imagine not unheard of but not likely. Had I known that the vehicle was in such a condition to be undrivable I would not have sold it to anyone.
Their copy of the bill of sale and the signed over title was lost in the fire and the vehicle is little more than a steel frame now. The purchaser is seeking for me to repay them the agreed upon value of the vehicle. While I can understand a moral duty to return the value of the vehicle do I have a legal duty to do so?
For extra information I live in Maine The purchaser lives in Maine The vehicle was 17 years old This was a private cash sale I am not a registered vehicle dealer of any kind

📷 Why Your City May Experience a Rolling Blackout and How to Be Prepared

Introduction

As a professional in the energy storage industry, I have seen the importance of being prepared for a rolling blackout. A rolling blackout is a temporary power outage that occurs when the demand for electricity exceeds the supply. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including extreme weather conditions, power plant failures, and high demand during peak hours. In this article, we will explore what a rolling blackout is, why it happens, and how you can be prepared.

What is a Rolling Blackout?

A rolling blackout is a controlled power outage that is implemented by utility companies to prevent a total blackout. During a rolling blackout, power is temporarily cut off to certain areas for a short period of time, usually lasting between 15 minutes to an hour. The power is then restored to those areas while another area experiences a power outage. This process is repeated until the demand for electricity is reduced to a manageable level.

Why Do Rolling Blackouts Happen?

Rolling blackouts can happen for a variety of reasons. One of the most common reasons is extreme weather conditions, such as heat waves or cold snaps, which can cause a surge in demand for electricity as people turn on their air conditioners or heaters. Another reason is power plant failures, which can occur due to equipment malfunctions or natural disasters. Finally, rolling blackouts can happen during peak hours when the demand for electricity is at its highest.

How Can You Be Prepared?

Being prepared for a rolling blackout is essential, especially if you live in an area that is prone to power outages. Here are some tips to help you be prepared:
​

• Have a backup power source, such as a generator or battery backup system.
• Stock up on non-perishable food and water in case the power outage lasts for an extended period of time.
• Have a plan in place for how you will communicate with family and friends during a power outage.
• Keep a flashlight and extra batteries on hand.
• Unplug any non-essential electronics to prevent damage from power surges when the power is restored.

What got me banned was when I broke rule 15 (no posting My Little Pony in non-designated places) and when I forgot to turn off my VPN (no VPNs allowed on 4chan). But now I'm finally back in business.
The lesson I learned was to read the terms and conditions + the policies of a service before you use it.

I'm 18 years old and will turn 19 in Nov. Of this year. Recently Ive had a bad argument with my mother because I sneaked out to see my bf one last time before things get rocky. I'm a first generation immigrant and come from a Mexican household. I have an older brother who is 22 and 2 younger brothers who are 12 and almost 11. The 11 year old is autistic with many health conditions. My mom has been a single mother for many years and the two younger brothers are technically my half brothers. My mom is the main provider and is rarely home because she works so much. This being said, since the young ones were born I raised them as my own while I was in middle school up till now and though I love them I can't stand the idea to leave them because I know they love me too. My older brother was rarely in charge of watching the young ones because we believe he's "special" but undiagnosed because he's definitely not "normal". My bf and I have talked about me moving in with him but never seriously. I am getting knee surgery due to a torn ACL on June 16 which is about 2 weeks away I feel like I could leave home the night of June 15 be moved in officially the night of my surgery. I am tired of the constant mental and occasional physical abuse. I know I will pack all my stuff 2 days before that way I can have time to think of any last minute items I will need. I won't bring much with me other than a few items of clothes, important documents and some personal hygiene products maybe enough for like a week. I need opinions if this is a good idea. My last day of work is the 15th of June and since I'm going to be bed rid anyways I think it's not to shabby of an idea. I just hope I can go through with this. I plan to bring my laptop but leave the phone that I'm currently using because my mom bought me this phone so I will be saving and deleting everything on this phone the night before. Please give me your inputs.

I have three really massive old poplars at the house I just recently moved in to. Unfortunately some of them have been dropping branches and I think might not be so healthy. They all have some black lichen growing on them, and two seem to have less foliage at the top and outer branches. I'm trying to get an arborist out here to assess them in person, but I'd like to see if anyone here can give me a brief heads up so I can gauge if what they're suggesting we do is mostly accurate.
I really hope they don't have to drop. They are really beautiful and the are first thing you see as you come up the hill and probably at least a hundred years old. Unfortunately they are all within striking distance of the house but if there is anyway to trim or treat them to keep them alive for a while I'd be interested to know. I should add there are also a couple stumps where it looks like similarly sized trees have been dropped probably within the last 20 years so I understand it may be inevitable.
Any input, advice, or questions I should be asking the arborist when they come are much appreciated.
Thanks!
Tree 1.
Dead branches and not a lot of foliage on outer branches
Tree 1 trunk condition - already had some limbs lopped off at one point
Tree 2:
Lots of dead / falling branches
​
Tree 2 from underneath / Trunk condition
Tree 3
Seems in better condition, but leaning into road

Hi,
I was thinking to buy a used forklift.
However I found that most good(less than 5000 hours, 2012 or newer, good condition) used electric forklift is more than $10,000.
And Google shows me that forklift and battery last up to 10 years, and some good forklift can last 15 years.
So which means that used forklift might last another 5 years.
If I buy new Ekko, I can use 10 years, and I can sell it for more than $10,000.
So I got to think that it might be better to buy new Ekko or HC electric forklift instead of buying used one.
I found a good dealer, and I'm thinking to buy either Ekko EK18A or EK20GS.
However I couldn't find much information about the companies.
Please share your experience.
Thank you.
