I'm trying to use Premiere to capture footage from my VCR. I know Premiere cab capture footage over FireWire as I tested this and it works great. I found a Magewell USB HDMI Gen2 capture card and I see Magewell has an Adobe Plugin but it says it's for 2015-2019 and I'm using 2022/2023.
I bid on this capture card and didn't think I'd win since it was a low bid but I ended up winning lol. I'm not if it's a useful purchase now.
Here's the link to the plugin.

I can provide pics on request. I have a short list of wants at the bottom of the post, but I'm open to all offers for the relevant systems.

I am attempting to turn an old GE refrigerator into a curing chamber, but accidentally drilled through a wire in the side. Based on the diagram from customer service, it looks like this is the purple wire coming from the light switch. Does anyone know the purpose of this wire and where it leads? I don't really need the light , so is there any way to turn it off or disconnect it? Obviously fire risk is a concern as it will be up to 95% humidity when the chamber is running. Thanks!

Got my V2 Thursday and on the first day of use I was getting jerky motion, shaking and rapid fire starts and stops. Once it got possessed the remote couldn't get it back to normal and had to shut it off and back on..rinse and repeat.
When I got it home I did some of the documented troubleshooting and the shake the wire test did not produce the jerky motion. I did leave it on and while untouched the wheels spun in different directions and did their sputtering before the entire unit started to shake.
Anyone have experience with this? I've reached out and waiting for Alphard support, but pretty bummed bc when it did work it was a dream.

I am the unqualified maintenance manager at a plant where a gnarly fire occurred inside and outside of a machine. The fire melted I/O wiring inside conduit going to the machine.
The panel that feeds the machine was undamaged, but a mess before fire with outdated/incorrect drawings. It feeds two other identical machines and additional conveying equipment. The short in the conduit blew the circuit protector for all 120V power in the panel, effectively halting our entire production operation.
PLCs are Modicon RIO Drops.
HMI/SCADA is iFix.
Devices off of burnt conduit with melted together wire: * Hi/Lo pressure switches in the gas valve safety train * Ignitor * 4 solenoid valves
With unreliable drawings is this something I could have a controls tech or electrician dive into without much guidance?
Edit: This is a previous situation that has been taken care of. I've been questioning my decision to not call somebody in as we had 1/3 of our production down for a week due to the machine being down (I always think I take too long to figure things out). I want to make the right decision in the future.
Should have clarified I have access to the PLC program and software (Concept) and iFix for the contractor coming in. I have some experience making minor changes for minor issues in Concept and iFix Workspace.
With the mechanical issues caused by the fire and the two techs in the maintenance department being unfamiliar with this machine, I didn't know if it would be beneficial to delegate the electrical/controls portion of repair while I worked on the other things. I worry that not having shit for documentation would make it quite difficult for a third party coming in. It was very difficult for me, but I am inexperienced in controls.

Well I’ve got another new brawler idea that I’ll probably draw up art for, but I’ll just get right into it. Val is a member of the Veloci-Rapids group with Buzz… because they’re taking too long to add his trio.
New Brawler Idea:
Val Artillery Mythic
Hitpoints: 3200*
Speed: Very Fast
Bio: Val is a volleyball-lovin’ Velociraptor. She bumps a ball into the air, which will bounce a little if it doesn’t hit a target. By landing consecutive hits, she deals slightly more damage than the last while also charging up her Volley Bar. When her Volley Bar is full, she instantly loads her Super: Val launches herself into the air, then slams down a powerful spike that stuns enemies.
I thought it would be cool to make a character that has to really EARN their Super, so Val can only get hers if she lands three shots in a row. Otherwise, she loses all Super progress. It takes three hits to charge, but Val only has one ammo. Because her Super is a little harder to charge, I think it’s a cool aspect for her main attack to deal a little bit more damage and also make her Spike attack a move that has a bit of utility behind it, by stunning, dealing solid damage, and moving Val over obstacles.
Main Attack: "Volley"
Val lobs her volleyball into the air with a small arc. If it hits an enemy, it will charge her Volley Bar and deal extra damage.
Range: Medium
Damage: 1: 800* 2: 880* 3+: 970*
Super: "Super Spike"
Val leaps into the air, then slams down a Spike like a meteor. She stuns any enemies caught below and leaps over obstacles, landing nearby.
Range: Short
Damage: 1250*
Stun Duration: .5-1.1* seconds
Gadgets:
"Veloci-Rapid"
Val gains a 40\% speed boost for the next 5* seconds. It will end if she attacks.*
3 charges per match.
"Fire Ball”
Val’s next Super deals +1000\ damage and does fire damage instead of stunning.*
3 charges per match.
Star Powers:
"Pro Athlete"
When Val lands a hit with her main attack, she recharges .4\ ammo instantly.*
"Sun Block"
Val takes 40\% less damage from poison or burning.*
I picked the name Val because she’s a volleyballing, valley girl Velociraptor. Her voice lines would be similar to EMZ. I can see them hanging out together. Val is a purple velociraptor with a tank top and sunglasses, with a volleyball in hand, maybe even red sneakers to complete her populabeachy look. Unlike Buzz the mascot, I think Val should completely resemble a dinosaur the way that Crow resembles a bird. Her animation would be zipping onto screen and bumping her ball, then zipping to appear more toward the right and in the air, then to the left and higher in the air, slamming down the ball.
After losing a match, her animation would be Val bumping the volleyball, to have it deflate and spin through the air before landing on her face.
Some Skins that I think could be used for Val:
Coach Val - 79 gems
I was thinking of a PE Coach look, where Val could gain a ball cap and a large t-shirt with a whistle around her neck. Her volleyball is replaced with a bright red, nostalgia-inducing dodgeball.
Clever Val - 49 gems
This skin would fit in with the other Brawliwood skins, because it’s an homage to Jurassic Park’s famous line, “Clever girl,” when a Velociraptor pounces on Muldoon. Clever Val would be wearing a wide-brimmed fedora and vest, like the characters in Jurassic Park, and her volleyball is replaced with a round Dino egg.
Malware Val - 10,000 Star Points
Giving Val a robotic look with dark metallic sheen and a gear-like sail sticking out of her back, she resembles a Spinosaurus more than a velociraptor now, with glitchy movement and exposed wires that spark. Her eyes are a glowing purple and her volleyball is a ball of wires. Her smile is replaced with a snarl, to make her look like a defective animatronic.
Some Voice Effects I could see for Val:
When Spawning: "Put me in!”, “Like, let’s go!”, “I’m like, sooo ready..”, “Let’s play ball!”
When Hurt: "Like, ouch!”, “Ugh, REAL mature!”, “My nails!”
When Defeated: "Don’t think I’ll forget this!”, “Ugh, REAL mature!”, “Not cool at all..”
When Defeating an Enemy: "Gotcha!”, “If you can’t take the heat..”, “Like, let’s go!”
When Gaining her Super: "Like, let’s go!”, “Ooh, is it that time already?”, “Let’s play ball!”, “Spike this!”
I love the brawlers that have special bar aspects, like Mortis, Bibi, or Gus. I think it adds a really fun element of gameplay. By introducing a Brawler that has a Super reliant on that, I think it makes the player more focused with targets. And since there aren’t any other announced Veloci-Rapids characters yet, I thought this could help move it along. Buzz has been out for quite some time now and I think the poor lifeguard is getting a little lonely.
* Note: All numerical values can be adjusted to what would best fit. Val is a mid-range Brawler with mid/low health and lower damage.

The largest coronal mass ejection just happened, but it was on the opposite side of the sun, and didn't hit Earth, so we got lucky. Had it hit us, it might have been another "Carrington Event". The Carrington Event happened in 1859 and knocked out and even caused sparks and fires in telegraph stations. Back in 1859, there wasn't much in the form of electrical wiring -- it was mostly telegraph wires. The world is very different today.

"I did not let him live because I did not have the courage or the will. I walked away cause it did not matter. Has vengeance ever turned back the clock? Has that notion we call justice ever revived the dead. I left the only person that's ever truly cared about me unavenged...because it would not change anything. Nothing we do has ever changed anything for the better."
"At the end of the day, the craven and cruel grow fat in their towers an mansions, their dungeons and caverns. Those few who actually deserved to live, those who were truly good, they were drained of all they had, broken beyond repair and taken from their families."
"When I finally tracked him down, he did something to me that I could never have prepared for. He repented, and genuinely so. For as I had grown older and stronger and more determined, so had he, but grown past his prime. He had grown sentimental, the selfish fires of youth cooling off. When I found him in that field of crops, he could see in my eyes who, or rather what I was. He fell to his knees as if praying to an altar, constantly rambling through the tears:
"I'm sorry for what I did to you... to her". "I was a foolinh young man, I did not know better". "I have regretted it every single day of my life". "I dont care what you do to me, in fact I welcome it, but please grant my daughters mercy, I beg you!".
"I could barely hear him over the deafening, crashing sound of revelation. It was as if the sunlight above, the air in my lungs, the very fabric of the universe...I could hear it all laughing at me. Laughing at my struggles. Laughing at how I had strived for honor and virtue in my pursuit, how my anger had stayed my had from the distracting vices of pleasure, cruelty, petiness, intimacy, friendship, peace of mind, and callous disregard for the plights of the weak. The fates knew I would not harm a man so thoroughly destroyed by his own past, who's only reason to go on was the family standing behind him, awaiting my judgement."
"I did not put balms on my anger, my sadness or the humiliation at being cucked out of my life's goal by fate itself. It was obliterated from my soul that day in the mud. I walked away from the killer turned father without another word because of acceptance. That day, I was freed from all illusions of justice, of meaning. This was what an entire life's dedication had amounted to, falling face first on the finish-line due to morality. I was aware of the injustice and evil of it all, there was just nothing to do. Another example of why evil will always prevail. Why the great misstake of sentient life and the cruel joke of free will must be destroyed at all cost. And even that will never happen, because the universe is not wired for the understanding of justice we waste our lives pursuing. Ironic, is it not?"
Confession of Tyrihael the Inheritor, agent of the Arch-Carnifex.

This one is going to be a bit longer because a PM To me suggested I go ahead and do a long Chapter.
I hope you still enjoy. The final piece will be released tomorrow.
Memory Transcription: Captain Neil Campbell, United Nations ‘Black Watch’ Company #4
Date [standardized human time]: December 3, 2136
The company had four mortars, four American M2 heavy machine guns, twelve lighter man-portable machine guns, eight light close in AA guns of 40mm twin, every trooper had a stringer mark 7 light anti-air missile, they had four longer range SAM units, eight orbital interceptors dialed into one computer, and two anti-ship missile launchers. Right at that moment, every single weapon they had was singing a song of death.
The Cheetah would silence the battlefield every time its main railgun fired a slug. Meanwhile the two Eisenhower’s autocannons rained down death upon the Arxur. While the standard rifles, pistols, or light SAW weapons would not necessarily take out a Arxur with non-vital hit; the heavy machine guns the Americans provided did.
The Radios crackled with commands going in all sorts of directions.
"All units, gunship coming through at..." Zim hesitated as he figured the direction and coordinates given by the radar operator moments ago. "7 O'Clock, will crest hill in 1 minute thirty, four man-portables dial in."
"Dial 1." Two seconds later all at once, "Dial 2." from 3 people who quickly corrected to dials 2, 3, and 4. Zim nodded, "Confirmed 4 dials."
"Forty seconds to crest." Called back the radar operator.
Campbell made note of how well Zim was handling their current position despite being a civilian. He had deducted correctly that Zim being Mayor would make them very proficient at communication and coordination, as well as delegation. What Zim had just done in thirty seconds was identify a unassigned gunship, that is one that was not anticipated by the long range missiles, short range AA guns, or anything else and assigned four stingers to it now all pre-trained and waiting for their shot.
Thompson was calling over the radio to coordinate the mortars and machine gun fire before broadcasting to Williams in the Cheetah where she couldn't get fire support to so that the MBT could deliver a couple of devastating shots.
Assigned and targeted gunships popped up at longer range and died before they had a chance to properly stabilize themselves in the atmosphere or just after take off. Fighters swooped down only for lock on and incoming missile warnings to scream at them before their sensors had even adjusted to having ground under them.
The smell of metal, ash, and blood filled the air. Arxur trying to get through the pass found it an impassable death trap. They had never encountered alien races who used barbed wire, much less the sheer volume of mines, and the thing that truly caused the reptiles to fear were the hidden single shot tubes full of deisel fuel mixed with wood glue and then aerosolized before something would ignite the fumes. Watching your comrades incinerated and calls of your enemy to let them burn, had the Arxur shooting their own comrades just to silence their screams.
Arxur field commanders stood in the back, shooting those who turned to run from the frontline while the Black Watch fired on. Their mortars were positioned around the 7 kilometer radius of the inner caldera so that at any point within the caldera or around its brim; three mortars could have rounds flying towards target at any one time. As soon as anyone radioed for support, mortars were flying in their direction, pre-dialed coordinates and ranges meant it only took three seconds for a mortar round to be dialed in and on the way.
The pass into the castle was starting to become clogged with Arxur bodies. But they were making progress, slowly. Campbell counted by this point, that most of his forward foxholes had been destroyed, all of them set alight by their preparations, preventing the Arxur from using them, recovering unreachable wounded humans, or bodies. Anyone who couldn't fall back would rather die fighting and then sending their would be captures or devourers into an inferno with them.
Campbell knew however, he was running out of ground to give and soon he would have to kill soldiers. They may kill a hundred each but they would still fall eventually. He saw his gunner snap back and drop off the side of his command vehicle. A vehicle which was all but disabled now. He moved to him.
Scrambling up the vehicle and pulling the wounded soldier down off the MG mount to the ground, laying him softly against the bullet ridden tire of the rover. He held his hand, "MEDIC! Medic!" Campbell called then turned to his trooper.
Campbell checked the nametag to be sure, Muller. "Muller, Muller." Muller turned his head, his eyes were growing hallow. Campbell looked at the wound, part of his upper chest was just gone. His neck was bleeding as well. There was a lot of blood. Slowly, he watched Muller's light escape his eyes.
That is enough. He returned to a reflection off of the now vacant eyes of Muller. The ridge had figures at the top of it. He snapped looking for Sims, when he couldn't find him, he pulled his radio. "Sims! They’re trying to storm the top of the castle! Grid 7-Bravo. Blow it, now.” he was pointing and screaming at the figures when his cyber arm suddenly jerked and sent him face down into the ground, his helmet rolling off.
On queue, the ridge where a few shadowy figures had appeared turned into a cloud of dust and rubble as a fireball erupted from it, silencing the rest of the battlefield for a few moments. The explosion sent rock, dirt, and mud over the side in an avalanche at the would be mountaineers. Everyone attempting to storm the outside of the caldera at that 50 meter grid would be buried in a coming storm of mountainside.
Campbell reached over and picked up his arm, looking at the cybernetic carefully. He sat up and next to Muller for a moment while making sure the connectors would still be good. His pain registers had shut off as soon as it disconnected. The connector appeared intact, just jerked out of the cybernetic socket by the impact and his body weight as the anchor. The round had only destroyed the outer layer of synth-flesh designed to make it aesthetically pleasing as well as his uniform that had been torn covering it.
He put the arm back in with a twist and it rebooted. His radio barked, “Cannot hold the pass, we need more firepower. Yanks, you're up!”

Memory Transcription: Lieutenant Williams, United Nations ‘Black Watch’ Company #4
Date [standardized human time]: December 3, 2136
Williams hated this, he called another target to his gunner and used his command machine gun to put down more rounds through the fraying camouflage around his tank. Tanks were supposed to be mobile bunkers not sitting ducks. Another high caliber plasma round bounced off their shield and their infantryman, Corporal Davies as he was introduced, the soldier turned the oldest M2 anyone had ever seen in the direction it came from.
Large caliber machine gun casings bounced off the hull top as they cascaded passed something scratched onto the side of the M2. It read in smaller and smaller scratches, “France, Philippines, Tunisia, France, Germany, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Iraq, Iraq II, Australia, Luna, Mars, The Cradle, Sillis.” The last two were still relatively fresh and easy to read.
“Williams, our forward positions are getting overrun by sheer weight of bodies, you’re up. See you on the other side.” Campbell called to the tank crew and their IFV escorts.
Good, tanks were not made to sit still. What the Arxur were about to find out is that tanks are scary when they are shooting at you but they are even scarier when moving at full speed and still shooting at you extremely accurately.
“Driver, full speed ahead into the pass, put the shield down to scrape the dirt so it will blown any remaining mines; loader, gunner eyes front.” He called out and then clicked his intercom off to switch on his radio, “Ripper 1 and 2, this is War Kitty, on our flank at 5 and 8 o’clock, staggered line fifty meter spread front, twenty to the side.”
That would put the IFVs Fifty meters behind him and twenty meters to each side. This was in case any orbital bombardment got through, even a rod from God would only get 1 vehicle then instead of multiple by the spacing.
A pair of affirmatives came back as the tank rolled forward and broke free of its camouflage to build up speed. Immediately the shield flared as soon as they broke the jungle with every single gun the Arxur had firing at them. Their small interceptor mini-phalanx on top shooting constantly to blow anything bigger than a rifle round out of the sky.
Meanwhile the IFVs pointed at muzzle flashes and sent bursts of .50 cal, 25mm, and 50mm in their direction. One Eisenhower was not a troop transport but strictly a gun platform, carrying a much heavier weapon. The only still used a proven 25mm chaingun.Williams pointed out another target, “Gunner 11, Loader HE.”
“HE Up!” The loader called.
“Sending.”
Williams’s gunner yelled back. The machine guns stopped for a second on the tank and suddenly the turret shuttered as the round was sent, the reward was a hillside that the Arxur were using for cover blowing up in a fireball of red, orange, and black smoke. Arxur body parts, dirt, and debris flying up into the air as the ground was stained with gray’s blood.
Williams wasn't going to hesitate with his ammunition. The nature of the railgun meant that the ammo no longer had large casings of propel behind them. Only the shell head was needed, that meant the tank was packed with four times the ammo of a chemical propellant tank.
The crew worked like a well oiled machine. Every ten seconds another main gun round. Between them, the three fifty’s and the 20mm beside the main gun did not stop shooting unless the gunner signaled.
It was grueling work, exhausting for the loader, mentally wearing for the gunner, forcing Williams to push his mind to the limit and glad for the stimulate that kept fatigue away from his mind. Their driver looking out like a truck driver who had been given too much caffeine but having to keep her jerks to a minimum. The objective was a smooth platform. The three drivers of the armored vehicles coordinating on their own private channel to keep moving through Arxur formations.
An hour passed, the tank rampaged. When they ran out of HE, they used HEAT, when that ran out, they switched to squash. When that ran out, they used the few anti-armor rounds they had brought.
Williams' voice was getting hoarse from calling targets, his hand vibrating from the shake of his command cupola gun. His body vibrated at a different frequency from the rumble of the engine and the quaking of the coaxial weapons.
Suddenly there was a clattering on the roof. Williams recognized it as someone foreign trying to get on the tank. There was clearly some slams against the roof of the tank. "I need help out here!" Davies called over the radio.
There was the distinctive sound of a body crushing under the tank tread that made the crew stop and debate opening the hatch to help. "Davies, what is going on out there? Davies!" Williams called in desperation.
Another few bangs on the room and their machine gunner outside had stopped replying, their shield had failed and rebooted several times, they must have got him with their boarding action. “Raider 2, we’ve got ants and War Kitty does too.”
He checked the shield read out, they had twenty seconds until reboot, twenty seconds to get these Arxur off of them.
Williams swung the turret to look at Raider 2 to see several Arxur attempting to board the tank and get the hatches open. “Raider 2, affirmative. Sorry about your gunner.” He heard the bang of Arxur landing on his hull, likely from the trees around them.
“Proceed with fly swatting, MG only. Gunner, Raider 2 at 7 and a half, full Coax.” The turret swung around, hitting an Arxur and sending him flying into a tree trunk with a sickening crunch before he fell in front of the tank tread. The MBT did not even notice crushing the creature and rolled on beyond the echo of crunching bone against the lower hull, which the loader noticed for a split second.
Pangs and hull tings echoed all around them as the IFV and tank exchanged small arms fire, clearing off their "pest problem" while not doing any significant damage to each other. Williams and his crew did not get time to celebrate.They had been rolling around the outside of the caldera. They moved from Arxur formation to formation; hitting Arxur units as fast as they could then trying to fade away before they could organize a counter attack.
They came back to the Caldera entrance for the fourth time, when they hit one of their own mines. Everyone in the tank was catapulted forward as the track blew off, the drive wheel on the left side seized and the tank nearly flipped, coming to thirty degrees to their right hand side. With a loud unearthly slam, every crew member was thrown to the floor after their heads banged off bulkheads with the whiplash.
Williams felt the ringing in his head, and the unholy headache of a concussion. His vision was fuzzy, he swore he head bells in his ears, his body felt distant; almost as if he were trying to tell his brain to radio control it. He held onto the side of the hull with one hand, trying to stand upon weak and unresponsive legs while his other hand held his aching head, “Status report.”
No one replied. He reached over to his gunner and found his head limp at an unnatural angle. He checked him, his neck was broken clean by the sudden slamming into the bulkhead. Williams ears were ringing, his body wanted to vomit, his eyes couldn’t see straight. He made out the face of his loader, Jenkins. Blood was trickling from his mouth as he laid on the floor in his loader section.
How did I get down here? Williams thought and reached for Jenkins, Jenkins gave a few spasms, spat up some blood and then his eyes glazed over until they were lifeless.
“Jenkins? Jameson? Cleo?” He called out, repeating it again and again tapping the crew intercom on his neck, weakly as he slowly got to his feet. His brain was not processing that his loader and gunner were dead.
“I’m still here.” Cleo answered with her distinctive southern accent. “But fuck, I wish I weren’t.”
His driver was alive but in a separate section from the rest of the crew. “Can… can you move? Fuck, My head.”
There was a loud pang and the feeling of air getting suddenly sucked out of the cabin. Cleo screamed out over the comms and then Williams could hear her heavy breathing. The blurring double vision making it hard to be certain of his movements. It felt like pushing through a heavy lake to get his body to move and his ears rang with the sound of an intense bell.
“Williams, Fuck… sorry Williams, but I can’t now. Damn suspension shaft just ripped through the bottom hull and into my leg.”“Stay where you are, I’ll come get you.”“No Sir, the shaft is impaling my escape hatch and all that racket outside is all Arxur hitting us on the top. Fuck…” Cleo yelled in pain as she tried to shift something.
Williams couldn’t hear the racket she was talking about. He was trying to process the idea that Cleo was hit and his emotions were screaming at him about his now dead loader and gunner. “Sir, set turret control to my station, I’m going to use the guns to cover you and the others. At least, until I bleed out.”“Cleo, we’re it.”
Williams knew saying the words meant his comrades were gone, but emotionally his brain was shut off now.There was a pause on the radio, just a few seconds. Williams slowly reached over and changed the turret control to driver operated.
“Alright, fine, grab your SMG and go out your escape hatch, I’ll hold them off and keep us looking scary. I’ve only got a little bit until I bleed out.”The turret started moving and Williams training kicked in through his concussion. He reached into his personal locker and pulled out the P90 as well as a few magazines and his survival kit, the kicked his escape hatch open out of the bottom of the tank and started to crawl beneath the stricken vehicle.
He kept crawling, heading for the forest, the sound of Arxur shouts and screams as well as gunfire getting quieter and quieter, until finally, Williams felt exhaustion overtake him and blackness closed in.

Date [standardized human time]: December 4, 2136
Raider 2 slowly rolled back down the pass, free of Arxur pursuit. It was in sorry shape to look at. The Anti-Air missile launcher was hanging on by its wiring. The mini-phalanx was gone except the targeting camera which still tried to move the non-existent AMS turret with sparks frying off the frayed wires. The main chain gun barrel was ripped off and what still existed was melted. Seven holes let the night moonlight through.
Both of the tracks had damaged segments that made them rotate around their drive wheels in a funny lopsided pattern. But the IFV rolled back into the silent caldera except for its dying engine. “Raider 2, reporting. Vehicle mission killed.”
Campbell tapped his radio, “Good job, get out and get some food, then get back on the line, your infantry now.”
The Arxur had pulled back after the armour went out and rampaged for an hour. Raider 2 had to wait until darkness closed in to roll back into camp. They had heard the boom of the cannon and sound of the passing armour engines and tracks across the terrain around the caldera. Mortars had provided the armour support fire and now the entire castle smelled of Arxur blood and cordite residue. It was now four hours later and the Arxur hadn’t returned; yet.
The Arxur had not sent in a new wave. Likely in total shock at the armored platoons sudden sally out. Campbell approached the stricken Eisenhower IFV as it rolled to a stop and seemed to break down completely when the engine was shut off.
The crew staggered out, all of them had been wounded to some degree by spalling from their vehicle’s own metal. The flakes and shrapnel generated inside the vehicle from impacts on the outside had done a number on them. But the vehicle had somehow held together. Two of the three staggering figures were trying to carry a fourth trooper out.
Campbell walked over to see Williams with a head injury, one of his feet missing and tourniqueted at the calf as well as two of his fingers ripped off and taped together. “Where are the other vehicles?”
The IFV commander fell to his knees, exhausted after constant combat and adrenaline just broke down crying. The man had enough and couldn’t take anymore. Campbell reached down and slapped his across the cheek, “Oih, stiffen your lip and answer me. We can cry about it later.”
The IFV commander looked up and nodded at the heavy cybernetic arm that had just slammed him. “Sorry sir, just… They’re gone sir. War Kitty took a mine to the tracks, probably one of ours. Raider 1 went down to an ammo explosion, the crew were incinerated instantly. Best I can think sir is that the blow out panels had been welded shut by enemy small arms fire. We found Williams near War Kitty, the Arxur were running from the burning hull, it was still shooting at them.” He took a breath, tears staining his oil and gunpowder covered face.“The gunner must have died and fallen on the turret swing with a death grip on the trigger. We put a missile in her to make sure there was nothing for the scalies to savage.” The commander managed as his crewmates came over and knelt with him while a medic ran off with Williams on a stretcher, followed by a second medic grabbing the stretcher halfway through.
The medics having issues carrying their shotguns and a patient. Aliens don’t play by our rules, medics are still targets to them. Campbell thought to himself as he gave a pat to the IFV commander.“You did excellent, son, you and your crew. So did the rest of your unit. We’ll take it from here.” Campbell tried to use the platitudes to comfort but he knew within an hour those soldiers would be sleeping in a foxhole, with their crew SMGs and sidearms, as well as a helmet just like the rest of his men.
His radio squawked, “Captain, frequency thirteen.”He removed the radio forward several clicks until a shrill deep voice came across it. “Human Commander, respond.”
Campbell recognized it as an Arxur voice and he picked up his radio, “Speaking.” He pulled out his flask and took a swig of the whiskey he kept on his person as he listened.
“We have you surrounded, there is no need to die. We are willing to take you as honorable prisoners with honorable and fair treatment, I assure you. All you have to do—”
“I’m going to stop you, right there. I just watched a pair of glorified armoured lories and a metal assault box rip through your lines and shred your forces to pieces.” He paused and let that sink in, knowing he was insulting his equipment to play up just how badly the Arxur were bloodied.
Campbell continued with this insult tirade, “I heard my recon squad of the lightest infantry I have, wrecked a thousand of you; solid. Listened to it on the radio all while it happened.” He turned to the pass and took a look at the piles of bodies across it and the carnage that looks like something straight out of the Great War more than two centuries ago. Not something he expected to ever see in a modern war.
“I have enough of your bodies to build a replica of Edinburgh Castle out of using them as the mortar.”
“Human! We have you surrounded! This is your chance for mercy! Just surrender your prey to us and yourselves.” Campbell laughed into the radio, “Have you lost your mind; leaf-licking monkey?”
“Not at all, I’m as chipper as can be right now. Listen up, izzard.” He let the name sink in for a second.
“You have us surrounded? Good, we can fire in every direction and hit one of you. You want us? Come and get us.”He flicked the radio off and headed for the medical tent. He needed to hear it from his doc just how many of his troops could fight and how many were not going to last the night or just be dead weight at this point. He also heard they took a few Arxur, alive.

Memory Transcription: Lieutenant Father Christopher O’Malley , United Nations ‘Black Watch’ Company #4
Date [standardized human time]: December 4, 2136
O’Malley moved to another tarp covering a body that had been recovered. He slowly and silently whispered a prayer, taking the dog tag to give to the medic but using it to get the name and town of origin of the trooper. Taking careful note of the religion and following his training as well as a guidebook for the Catholic, agnostic, or protestant he found. He moved to last one, and finished his prayer.
Campbell was waiting for him at the end of the line of recovered bodies. “Captain.” He said, standing slowly and offering a weary salute. Chris could feel his arm getting tired, he had been going so long and knew he would need a stim to keep up the night.
Campbell saluted back, “Reverend, how bad is it?”
O’Malley looked at the bodies and sighed, “Well, never thought I’d see Clemson die but he did. Dove onto a detonator and set off a satchel charge to take as many as he could before the armour rolled out.” The reverend took out a cigarette and lit it up, taking a long drag from the white paper pipe that took nearly half of it out in one go, then exhausted all his lungs as he let the feeling of euphoria wash over him. The nicotine did its job, steadying his nerves and slowly making his shaking stop. His emotions at all the last rites he had performed starting to defray slowly.
"Father, how many today?" Campbell asked preparing himself. He knew Father O'Malley would have taken note of every time he had done last rites and done a proper headcountting as well.
O'Malley took another drag and nodded, "Thirty-Seven including the Americans who did not come back."
“Father, why do you do it? Why here?” Campbell asked as he took a seat on the ground next to the priest who was still kneeling.
“A shepard is to watch his flock and when the wolves come knocking, send the wolves back to the forest where they belong. With a bloodied nose or broken leg if needed.” O’Malley replied with a soft sigh as he took another drag, the cigarette already starting to come up towards its end.
“And how do you reconcile religion with aliens?” Campbell asked, genuinely curious as to the answer. O’Malley chuckled and pulled the cig from his lips to tap off the ashes, “That ain’t my place to be figurin’. I’m here as the chaplain, higher powers than I determine how we reconcile aliens. My job is to tend to the souls of my flock, seeing as there isn’t an atheist in a foxhole; that has gotten fairly complicated.”
Campbell nodded and pulled his whiskey flask to take another swig. It was down to less than a quarter left. “Captain, no offense but stuff will kill you.”
Campbell smiled at the gallows humour as the reverend chuckled with him for a few moments. “Never change, father.” he spoke as he stood up and started to walk back towards his command tent.
“Aye, aye, captain. Now I’ve got a special case to attend.” Campbell turned towards O’Malley as the chaplain rose and headed into the medical tent.“What’s that reverend?”
“An Arxur asked for a priest.” O’Malley stepped into the tent and headed for where he knew the patient was. It only took a few moments before he arrived at the side of the bed. The Arxur was handcuffed and collared to the cot. Both of his legs were blown off at the upper thigh. His chest was also bandaged from shrapnel that had been sent through it.
O’Malley took a seat on a folding chair and pulled the dim light of their medical tent. Blood stained the sterile sheet placed over the ground. He looked over to the gray with a pain of sympathy for his injuries. The Arxur was breathing laborious and gasping at the air as if it were fighting him. He leaned in, “Alright, my child, how may I assist you?”
Through wheezing breathes the Arxur replied, “I am no hatching.”
“Oh, you misunderstand, it is how a priest of our culture addresses someone who is more youthful than them.” O’Malley spoke slowly and he checked Arxur's pulse. Faint but for the moment steady. “Is there something I can do to make you more comfortable?”
“No, I am dying. Your docs as they are called said they cannot help.”
O’Malley cleared his throat, “You mean the medics.”
“Yes, they do not know enough and there is no surgeon here. Shrapnel has punctured my organs, I will die soon.”
O’Malley reached down to a clawed hand, his instinct was to pull away at the scales but he resisted it. He gripped the hand gently but firmly, his other hand placed near the Arxur’s mouth on his shoulder, showing vulnerability to the creature. “I am here, how may I comfort you in this hour? What is it you believe?”
“I…. I would rather know what you do, human.” O’Malley was taken aback by the request. He shook his head and resisted the urge to preach.
“I am a chaplain of our unit, I counsel the living, comfort the dying and give last rites to the dead. If that means I must learn your religion in your dying hour and console you with it, I will. Please explain what I must—”
“Human.” O’Malley silenced and listened to the Arxur speak, his mind slowly processing each word and ensuring he understood what the Arxur wished. He had trained long and hard, and he was not going to deny the wishes of a dying creature; not friend or foe. “Humor me. What is it that you believe?”
O’Malley took a moment and reached into his shirt, pulling out a small bible, he began to read a verse here and there, slowly explaining his religion, ensuring he focused upon the aspects of love, community, and companionship as well as faith. He spoke for an hour about love, mercy, and the strength of God as O’Malley believed in him.
He continued by explaining stories of the bible in short versions rather than reading verbatim. He explained the mercy and the concept of no atheist in a foxhole. O'Malley monitoring the Arxur's reaction, taking note of the tail as well as the face.
He realized the Arxur looked more peaceful than he had ever seen his species and paused, "If I remove your restraints, you won't attack me yes?"
The Arxur looked suddenly surprised and then nodded. O'Malley reached over to the buckles and clicked them off from the Arxur's wrists, waist, and neck. He did not immediately move but the creature managed a human version of a smile to show his appreciation. "Thank you, that is, more comfortable, please continue."
O'Malley continued explaining his beliefs and the story presented. He felt better preaching to a person who was able to push him away if they wished. It also began to feel less like talking to a prisoner and more like speaking with an old friend.
After intensely listening, the Arxur let out a severe ragged cough. Once the cough stopped, he was drooling blood onto his neck. “Human, my time comes. Please, lead me in a prayer, I did not believe in anything before now. But your warriors prove something supernatural about them. Now, I wish to believe in something as I draw my final breath.”
O’Malley nodded and started to give a prayer then stopped himself. He opened his small bible to Psalm and let his faith guide him. “Repeat after me and you may yet see the gates of Heaven, my friend.”
The Arxur turned his head weakly, “I am called, Grissen, can your lord forgive a wicked creature as I? The things I have—”
O’Malley squeezed the claw he held to get Grissen to be quiet and listen. “The Lord only cares that before your final moment you renounce your evil ways, genuinely mean your repentance, and accept him. If you repeat after me and truly believe in that; allow him to change your heart in that final moment, then yes.”
Grissen weakly nodded, “Proceed.”
“Repeat after me,” O’Malley waited to make sure Grissen was ready. “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." O'Malley prepared his patience as Grissen repeated the words, slowly. The Arxur was having to speak very deliberately through his breathing. O'Malley could feel the pulse had quickened as well.
"He maketh me lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” Grissen struggled but O’Malley's patience displayed that of the saints he spoke of. He calmly waited for the Arxur to catch up and gripped his hand to give him strength. Every stumble was a simple re-guiding from O'Malley with a smile.
Grissen's eyes showed remarkable recognition of O'Malley, never moving away from him as he listened intently, even managing to turn his head to face the priest fully.
His heart screamed for the pain this creature was in. Grissen’s voice was getting worse. He was drawing weaker, and unfocused with each passing word. He felt the agony in how his body shifted and his breathing struggled. The bloodshot eyes filled with torment but something else.
O'Malley recognized it as the desperation for acceptance, the desire to belong behind the pain. He had seen it so many times in someone's last hour. O'Malley hoped a surgeon would suddenly appear and save Grissen from this terrible slow way to die. His mind begged for such a miracle but his heart knew, it was too late.
He had administered too many last rites today but here he was giving another one. He felt his own tears forming in his eyes and fought them back.
Once Grissen finished the line, he resumed, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head in oil; my cup runneth over.”
Grissen's voice was getting lower in volume, almost what O'Malley thought an Arxur child would sound like. His eyes were no longer following O'Malley; he was only speaking the words, getting more monotone and laboured with each passing breath.
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
Grissen slowly repeated the words, “Surely…. Goodness and mercy… despite my evil… shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
“Amen.”“A…men….” Grissen’s grip slackened and he exhaled slowly, his chest deflated. His eyes glazed over and finally, his tongue fell from his lips across his cheek.
O’Malley reached up to feel his heart and felt no pulse. He was gone.
O’Malley gently placed the clawed hands across the chest in an X. He pushed the dried out tongue into the teeth and slowed the jaw. He noticed the smile upon Grissen’s lips that had formed in that last moment. He knew to leave well enough alone there. He reached up and closed the reptile’s eyes, slowly and gently. As he had done a dozen times today, every detail was precisely right.
He took a moment to admire how peaceful the gray managed to look in his final state of death. He pulled a notepad from his pocket and wrote on it, something he knew probably wouldn’t get done as no one had time to bury the dead. It wasn’t about if there was time, it was about the act of ensuring the last request was asked for and at least acknowledged.He placed the note between the hands, it had the image of a cross upon it and the words: “Protestant” upon it. This would signal to any human that he was to be given a protestant burial.
O’Malley paused, tears dripping from his eyes for his enemy as he spoke. “Lord above, take this one, Shelter this one, enemy-mine. For all are your’s in death, even those who would see your servant slain. I ask not for vengeance but that you take pity upon this soul as it departs for the next life. He repeated in your name before his final breath, accept him with warm smiles and open arms as I commend Grissen to your care. St. Peter, I ask you to not be cautious or repulsed but instead, nod to him as you read his many sins and then inform him, all is forgiven in his final hour even by his greatest enemies. Amen.”
O’Malley felt his body shaking as he opened his eyes.His cheeks were warm with tears, a smile of delight upon his face to save a soul just before it left, even if he could not answer the question of aliens before God. It had been a worthy peaceful time here in the tent. Something O’Malley knew all too well about war, it was not war that would end war but rather; understanding could bring it to a stop. He got up, his legs weak and knees wanting to lock. He struggled to hold his weight as he walked from the tent, trying to calm his emotions.
He stepped outside, walking back to his position on the line and pulled another smoke, he had not yet gotten to his lighter when the sound of gunfire ripped through the caldera again. Weapons lighting up as the Arxur assault began anew.
For O’Malley however, he couldn’t move. His chest burned. His heartbeat echoed in his ears. He watched the cigarette drop from his hand. He felt his strength drain from his legs as he fell over on his side. Machine guns and mortars tracers rippled across the valley. He felt warm blood pouring down his chest across his shoulder towards the ground.
He willed his eyes to look down and realized he was hit. His chest was heaving blood rapidly. His strength faded and slowly he felt his eyes become heavy.
He whispered a final prayer, “Dear Lord, hold Grissen at the gates; I wish to enter beside my friend.” His final thought as his eyes closed for good barely ten paces from the medical tent. “Amen.”

I was watching youtube late last night before bed and heard rustling in my ceiling. I know very well the sound of rats play fighting.
I love animals, I am not vegan, I am ok with animals being used for food, circle of life and all that, but i do not like senseless, pointless killing.
I have had many pet rats throughout my life, I have also rescued many wild mice from my cats and taken them far away to release them.
In high school, we had a substitute teacher take a science class and she wanted to demonstrate a rat disection. I requested that i be allowed to leave, as it was during a time where i had pet rats and i couldnt seperate the two. She very aggressively denied my request and that froze me. It was overwhelming and i started to cry. I was sitting with a very good friend who also had pet rats and she left the class (against the subs protest) and returned shortly after with our dean. The dean took me out of the class and let me sit in on his Drama class lesson. I will always be greatfull to that friend for helping me escape that situation.
But now i have wild rats in my ceiling. They pose a danger as they could chew through wires and cause a fire.
I will not poison them, as that is an awful and painful way to die, and i cant get into the ceiling to lay traps(also awful way to die) as i am physically incapacitated. My wife has suggested i let some of my cats into the ceiling to take care of them (as that is at least the natural order of things) but i dont want to put my cats in harms way.
It is not the rats fault that they are here, and i feel awful that it is because of me that they will die today.
It doesnt sound like there are many of them, perhaps just a few. They are just trying to shelter from the elements and happened to pick a house with lots of cats.

So my “new” ‘92 244 is having trouble starting in the rain. I wasn’t there to start it but from what I was told by my family it turns but doesn’t want to start and when it does it begins misfiring, they tried gassing it when that happened and it didn’t help and it would die. When it would start it “didn’t sound healthy” and “like not enough cylinders were firing” but it’s completely fine when it’s dry. There was also the sound of water sloshing around on the drivers side, possibly in the door but I couldn’t find where it might be leaking but I know the windshield leaks.
This sounds similar to when I needed my spark plugs replaced in my other 244 because the wires got melted by hot oil and oil was in the wire causing misfiring. Could it be the spark plugs again or something else? I’m currently trying to switch over to the new one and have a pile of parts for the first one since I’ve almost got transmission soup and wouldn’t feel good about selling it

Thomas said he made the changes to the wiring so it should not have started a fire. He had mentioned a theory that developers were coming in to buy up places (like his neighbors house) and when told no, setting them on fire and purchasing the property afterwards.

I had a engine mis fire a couple weeks ago along with a collapsed lifer, truck was not running good at all. I decided to take it to a mechanic that my uncle uses a lot, who is also his neighbor. So I got all new lifters, head gaskets, plug wires, spark plugs, and manifold bolts. These parts were all bought from GM. The truck seemed to be running well the first day or 2 then I realized it started misfiring again yesterday. I took it to autozone to use the obd2 scanner and it came back with cylinder 8 misfire code, this morning after I swapped one of the ignition coils it misfired and it threw a random misfire code. Has anybody who’s familiar with these trucks seen this? It’s a bummer I just paid a good chunk of cash to fix this thing. Need some advice to get this thing fixed.

The last time that I fought the individual behind Jon Moxley was when he was a goofier motherfucker. He was hoisting hot dog carts and unloading all over authority figures. Well now he's hoisting your baby girl and unloading all over you. But when you look at what he is now, he sure is a tougher son of a bitch. You of all people should know that. However, you need to remember this: the more things change, the more they stay the same. Even me, I'm wearing a red $3000 jacket and sunglasses looking like a bootleg Halloween version of The Weeknd. I even fucking come out to The Weeknd, and the crowd loves it! They sing the chorus, they sing the whole song. I feel like fucking Chris Jericho, only I'm younger and and I'm better than a bloated 52 year old rock star who is trying his hardest to stay relevant after his prime 13 years ago by creating a group of six monkey bitches and one excellent person who is a friend of mine, but two of said monkey bitches think that they're the greatest couple in wrestling history just because they're bad guys. They're not. That's me and my wife. Renee, you have interviewed a bunch of wrestlers on your podcast, Oral Sessions, and you've also been interviewed by Jon Moxley on Anal Sessions. But you have never been in the presence of a more diligent, vigilant, meticulous, sagacious, conscientious, analytical, methodical individual than me. Thank you for your time."
