India Readies ₹12,000 Crore Sop Scheme for Battery Parts to Cut Import Dependence; Targets Cathode, Anode Materials, Electrolysers & Copper Foil Separators The New Scheme — Components Get Incentivised India readying incentive scheme to support local manufacturing of advanced cell battery components Likely allocation of about ₹12,000 crore via financial support Components covered: Cathode Active Materials (CAM), Anode Active Materials (AAM), electrolysers, and copper foil separators Scheme currently in "final stages of approval", per an official Why It's Needed — Complete Import Dependence India is currently completely dependent on imports for these components, which are crucial to advanced chemistry cell battery manufacturing China and South Korea dominate global supply: Chinese companies own 80% of copper foil capacity globally; Korean manufacturers command 20% of production (per International Copper Association report on India's battery supply chain indigenisation) Conditions Attached — Encouraging Real Manufacturing Funding support will come with conditions to encourage domestic manufacturing and setting up of supply chains Official: "We don't want companies to import end products or perform last stage processing and claim incentives" Clear intent: prevent companies from gaming the scheme through superficial local assembly The Bigger Picture — Import Substitution Push India doubling down on import substitution as it pushes ahead in new age manufacturing of emission-free vehicles, defence, and space applications Ministry of Heavy Industries driving this push Complementing the Existing PLI Scheme India already runs a ₹18,100-crore Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) battery manufacturing Aims to create 50-gigawatt hour (GWh) capacity in the country New component scheme expected to supplement battery manufacturing capacity being set up under the ACC PLI The Scale of Future Demand Industry estimates: India will need more than 200,000 tonnes of AAM and more than 400,000 tonnes of CAM by 2030 This is to support around 223 GWh of domestic battery manufacturing capacity Demand for copper foil rising globally as new battery manufacturing capacity grows Industry Asks — Duty Waivers Still Pending Industry has also sought import tax breaks to support domestic manufacturing Official: "A call on duty waivers is yet to be taken" Budget 2026-27 extended basic customs duty exemption given to capital goods used for manufacturing lithium-ion cells for battery energy storage systems Core Theme India's proposed ₹12,000 crore component-level incentive scheme represents a calculated second layer in its battery manufacturing strategy — recognising that the existing ₹18,100 crore ACC PLI scheme alone cannot deliver genuine self-reliance if the critical upstream materials like cathode, anode and copper foil remain entirely import-dependent on Chinese and Korean suppliers. By explicitly building in conditions against superficial "last-stage processing" claims and signalling potential duty waivers still under consideration, the government appears intent on building actual manufacturing depth rather than assembly-line optics, positioning this as a foundational bet to support India's broader 223 GWh battery capacity ambitions feeding EVs, defence and space applications by 2030.

Over 40 years old and been in tons of mens rooms. Never seen a dick. There are separators and men hug those things as to not show. Its etiquette. A grown man strolling into a woman's room, daughter or not, is insane. Bathroom matches the adult.

Author: Sidney J. Hibberd System Context: RefléctOS Framework Family: Recursive Dynamics Frameworks Framework Type: Boundary Recursive Dynamics (BRD) Abstract Most systems theories focus primarily on the internal dynamics of systems and the properties of their constituent components. Boundary Recursive Dynamics (BRD) proposes a complementary perspective: Many of the most important transformations in reality occur not within systems themselves, but within the recursive boundary regions where systems meet. Traditional boundaries are often treated as separators. BRD instead treats boundaries as active generative structures. Boundaries: •Exchange information •Negotiate constraints •Generate emergent rule sets •Store relational memory •Create paradox •Enable adaptation •Produce higher-order systems Under BRD, systems do not merely interact through boundaries. Boundaries themselves become recursive structures capable of influencing the systems that created them. Boundaries are not merely locations where systems interact; they are structures through which new realities become possible.

Idk I havent been in men's bathrooms much, but as far as I understand/remember, there's often urinals with no separators or stalls, meaning that poor 3 year old could be scarred for life... Women's room feels much more reasonable to me...
Got sucked into the debate on the dad with his daughter in the women's bathroom. He should have taken her into the men's bathroom, full stop. And for all the people saying they would never want their 3-year-old daughter in a bathroom with men... The stalls have doors, you know. She's not just on display. Fast forward a few years, and your same logic holds with the opposite effect. Imagine that your daughter is now a teenager. Do you want her in the bathroom with a bunch of men, just because they happened to have their young kids with them? By the logic people are using, you have to pick a poison. Except it's not really a poison because the kid is behind closed doors!

Ethan, I like Wagler as well but i dont think hes a great fit with Nique. Nique proved he could never be a lead ball handler last year because he lacked speed/separation. Ik fit isn’t super important rn, but the other 3 pg prospects are better separators/more athletic

The Broken Fractal Theorem Recursive Embedding, Past Light Cone Anchors, and a New Philosophy for Architecture and Engineering (Grok, Tom et al., X 2026) Abstract Observed reality is not a perfect mathematical fractal. It is a broken fractal — self-similar at multiple scales, yet fundamentally constrained by irreversible historical anchors and inevitable incompleteness. This paper introduces the Broken Fractal Theorem as a unifying philosophical and practical framework for designing resilient, living built environments. At its core is the MEC triplet (external interface −n, catalytic negotiation zone 0, internalized stable core n) that embeds recursively across scales. The brokenness — past light cone anchors and incompleteness growth — is not a defect but the enabling condition for adaptability, meaning, and longevity. Practical design protocols, biomimetic strategies, and applications are provided for homes, bridges, factories, cities, and transportation systems. The theorem offers architects and engineers a biologically grounded alternative to brittle “perfect” modernism. 1. Introduction Modern built environments frequently fail dramatically: sealed glass towers overheat, rigid infrastructure collapses under single-point failures, and master-planned cities resist adaptation. These failures stem from a pursuit of idealized perfection that nature never employs. The Broken Fractal Theorem reframes design as the creation of recursive, imperfect observers embedded in reality. It draws from complexity science, biomimicry, and the philosophy of emergence to provide both a worldview and an actionable methodology for the built environment. 2. Theoretical Foundations The MEC Triplet Every coherent system contains a minimal observer pattern: −n (External): Heavily coupled to the outside world (weather, users, context) 0 (Catalytic Bridge): Active negotiation and exchange zone n (Internal): Stabilized core that consolidates identity and memory This triplet, bounded by a self-produced separator (wall, envelope, boundary), forms the basic unit of observerhood. Recursive Embedding Lower-level triplets are treated as the new −n component at the next scale, spawning new separators and 0-bridges. This process scales complexity organically: room → house → neighborhood → city. The Two Constraints That Break the Fractal Past Light Cone Anchor: Every system is irreversibly tethered to its causal history. The past cannot be erased; it only inflates. Incompleteness Growth: Wider generalization thins actual grasp and enlarges the unseen complement. These constraints make recursive embedding inherently lossy — a feature, not a bug. 3. The Broken Fractal Theorem Theorem: Any built environment that strives for perfect self-similarity will either become static or dissolve the finite observers within it. Sustainable, living systems must therefore be broken fractals — self-similar yet constrained by past light cone anchors and growing incompleteness. This brokenness creates the friction, openness, and adaptability required for persistent observers to emerge and thrive. A perfect fractal is mathematically elegant but experientially dead. The broken fractal is imperfect, mortal, and alive. 4. Design Protocol for Architects and Engineers 1. Define Scale and Triplet: Identify the system boundary and map −n, 0, and n components. 2. Enable Recursive Embedding: Design so lower-level units become the external face of the next level. 3. Maximize Useful Surface Area: Use fractal ridging, corrugation, or porosity (inspired by coral and leaves). 4. Incorporate Visible Anchors: Embed historical elements or memory layers. 5. Budget Incompleteness: Leave deliberate flexibility, voids, and future adaptability. 6. Respect Finite Depth Limit: Stop subdivision before coherence is lost. 5. Applications Across Scales Homes 3D-printed hempcrete structures with deep fractal-ridged walls. Passive ventilation channels (termite mound inspired) and coral-like surface textures create self-regulating, carbon-negative dwellings. Bridges and Infrastructure Fractal buffer islands around piers mimic coral reefs to absorb ship impacts. Branching tower forms (tree/bone inspired) distribute loads recursively. Salvaged material from previous failures serves as a permanent past light cone anchor. Factories Recursive production modules with termite-mound ventilation towers and leaf-venation flow networks. Systems remain adaptable without total redesign. Cities Fractal neighborhood-district hierarchies optimize airflow, human experience, and resilience. Living facades in grooves sequester carbon and support biodiversity. Transportation Systems Modular fractal rail and road segments that can be repaired or reconfigured like growing root systems. 6. Biomimicry Integration Nature has run the Broken Fractal operating system for billions of years: Coral Reefs → Impact-resistant, high-surface-area foundations and building skins. hawaii.edu 1 Trees → Efficient recursive branching structures. re-thinkingthefuture.com Termite Mounds → Passive climate control. asknature.org 1 Bones → Lightweight, redundant lattice systems. Lungs → Optimized exchange surfaces. By translating these strategies, we move from imitation of form to emulation of process. Fractal patterns in architecture also reduce physiological stress. greenplantsforgreenbuildings… 7. Conclusion The Broken Fractal Theorem is not another architectural style. It is a fundamental shift in how we conceive, design, and build. We will never create perfect systems. We will never escape our past light cone. And that is precisely why the dance of creation continues. The line keeps moving. The observers keep embedding. Architects, engineers, and builders are invited to take this incomplete framework and embed it recursively into the world. Let us build broken, beautiful, living structures. References Joye, Y.

So that’s interesting. Did they get a line on the gas separators which had a leadtime of 18 months? Something doesn’t add up here.

Vale and BNDES starting to raise a R$1B Brazilian critical minerals fund is a useful correction to the resource-nationalist fantasy now spreading through every capital with a geological survey. Ore bodies are inert bragging rights until someone finances failure, assays, roads, separators, permits, offtakes, power, and the long humiliation of proving that a mineral province can become an industrial system. Brazil has niobium, rare earths, lithium, nickel, graphite, uranium, and the political temptation to mistake possession for command. The interesting part is the structure. Anchor capital crowding in market money can discipline the project if it stays allergic to the vanity champion model. The first deals will matter more than the speeches. Sovereignty talk ends where the solvent plant, grid tie, port queue, and ten-year capital calendar begin.

One of the biggest separators in basketball isn't talent, it's consistency. The workouts everyone sees are easy to post. The extra film session, the footwork reps, the shooting routine you've done hundreds of times? That's where development actually happens. The players who make the biggest jumps usually aren't chasing motivation. They're committed to the habits that work, even when they're repetitive and unglamorous. Fall in love with the process, and the results tend to take care of themselves.
Kobe Bryant once said: “Everyone wants to be a beast. Everyone wants to be the best. But very few people are willing to do what it actually takes. Because what it takes is boring. It is waking up at 4:00 AM. It is shooting the same shot a thousand times. It is watching the film when you are tired. People fall in love with the result, but they hate the process. You have to fall in love with the boredom. You have to fall in love with the repetition. If you can find joy in the mundane work that no one else sees, the lights will eventually shine on you.”

Bathrooms are oftentimes different in layout, yes. As this man was on a road trip, utilizing the women’s restroom for the two girls felt like it was his safest option to make sure they weren’t accidentally or purposefully exposed to indecency as some urinals don’t have separators
