Lately I've been seeing a lot of posts asking about Gus' sexuality and most of the comments are saying that he is a gay. For the nth time, he is NOT a gay.
Breaking Bad is the type of show that actually shows to the viewers on screen what they want us to know. We know Jesse and Jane are screwing because there are scenes with them in bed together. We know Jimmy and Kim are screwing because we've seen them have bed scenes. We know Tuco is dead because we actually saw him die. We know Tortuga is dead because we saw his severed head on a turtle. In short, Vince loves to show to us the viewers what they'd like us to understand.
As for Gus and Max, we never saw them sucking each other off on screen. There's no scene where Gus outright admitted he loves Max. So what if he made a memorial? I too would create a memorial for my best bro if he were to die. But that doesn't mean I'm a gay, right? If they were gay, Vince would've shown it to us. That's the type of storyteller he is. So for the last time, Gus is not a gay. He is a badass crime boss who is straight as an arrow.

I decided to try NITRO Studio from Crow Canyon Software for 90 days to see how hard it would be to implement and if it would ROI. My goal going into it was to automate various workflows and forms that we use a lot.
A little backstory about our set up. We use SharePoint on prem. We have dabbled in Power Platform, but have found it gets pretty pricey once premium connectors come into the picture, so we decided to give this a whirl with the idea that if it works, it would save us a nice chunk of change.
Getting started wasn’t bad. Crow Canyon Software got us set up pretty quickly and we also purchased support hours to have a little extra help getting started. They seem to be mostly based in the US, which was nice (so am I) and maybe some in India. For someone who is familiar with SharePoint, it’s pretty easy to jump into. If you are a SharePoint newbie you may need some extra training to get up to speed but it isn’t rocket science. They offer phone, email, and chat support, so you have a few options. I had some scheduled calls to get started, but I also like that they have a KB and chat support if I need quick help in the middle of something.
Creating forms was pretty simple. It’s all drag and drop but you can also customize it, which was good for us to have it sync up with our corporate branding. Overall, this part was pretty flexible and easy. Again, if you know SharePoint, this part should be a breeze.
Workflows were simple too. Again, it’s all drag and drop and pretty straightforward.
If you aren’t a tech-head, you can get this set up without any coding, but of course if you want to code, you can.
These two pieces met my primary goal for NITRO Studio. They were easy to set up and implement. I started with just a handful of workflows for our most common tasks and also automated some of our most commonly used internal forms. I kept it at that for the initial test, because frankly, I wanted to see if it was worth continuing with before putting too much into it, but I was pretty happy with the results. Ramp up time wasn’t too bad and I think it helped a lot that it lives in the M365 environment. We have tried some other third party workflow builders in the past and just didn’t have a good adoption rate internally. People seemed to take to this pretty well and we definitely found it saved time and helped reduce errors we were seeing in some of our workflows (people forgetting to follow through).
All in all, at the end of my little 90 day experiment, I’m pretty satisfied. We have decided to continue with NITRO Studio and build more forms & workflows here. I’m working my way through other processes and getting a pretty good ROI. Definitely paying a lot less than I was for Power Platform and it’s getting the job done so I really can’t complain.

Organic keywords are a type of keyword that helps you get free traffic to your website using search engine optimization (SEO). They are the words and phrases that people use to search for information on the internet that can lead users to your content.
Therefore, it’s important to understand what organic keywords are, why they’re important, and how they work in your SEO strategy.
Note: There’s a dedicated guide on this topic over at the SEO Chatter blog here: Organic Keywords, but this post includes the most important highlights to help you quickly understand the topic of organic keywords in SEO.
Organic Keywords
An organic keyword lets visitors discover your website without clicking on an ad. Organic keywords are free to target vs paid keywords that require money to rank for in the search engines.
Organic keywords are important for SEO because:

• They help you improve your website’s visibility and relevance in the search engines. And who doesn’t want that?
• They help you generate more free traffic and leads. And who doesn’t like more money?
• They help you reach more potential customers who are searching for information, products, or services related to your niche to solve their problems. And who doesn't want to help others with their content?
• They help you optimize your website’s content for the keywords that matter most for your business. And who doesn’t appreciate value and experience?

Optimizing for Organic Keywords
To rank your website for organic keywords, you need to do two things: keyword research and on-page optimization.
Keyword research is the process of finding the best and most relevant keywords for your website based on your audience’s needs and intent. You want to use keywords that match what people are looking for online. Because if they’re not looking for it, they’re not going to find it.
Keyword research tools like KWFinder, SE Ranking, and Semrush generate a list of ideas that are related to your target query so you can choose which terms and phrases to target based on how they align with your products and services as well as the overall value the organic keywords can bring to your business.
These tools can also help you analyze the competition and difficulty of each keyword. Because you don’t want to waste your time on keywords that are too hard to rank in Google.
On-page optimization is the process of using organic keywords in your web content to improve its SEO signals.
The top places to add your organic keywords for SEO include:

• Title tag: It should include your main keyword and a compelling reason to click.
• Meta Description: It should include your main keyword and a clear call-to-action.
• URL: It should include your main keyword and be easy to read and remember.
• H1 Heading: It should include your main keyword and summarize what your page is about.
• H2 Subheadings: They should include related keywords and break up your content into sub sections.
• Body Content: It should include relevant keywords naturally and provide useful information for your visitors.
• Image ALT Text: It should include relevant keywords and help search engines understand your images.
• Internal Links to the Target Page: They should include relevant keywords as anchor text and help visitors navigate your site.

When you optimize these on-page elements correctly, you’ll make your pages more relevant for the organic keywords you want the content to rank for in the search engine results pages (SERPs). You’ll also make your pages more user-friendly and engaging.
Finding Organic Keywords Your Website Ranks for In Google
There are two common ways you can monitor the organic keyword performance of your website:

• Google Search Console: This free tool can help you monitor your site’s performance in Google Search, including impressions, clicks, click-through rate (CTR), and position for your organic keywords. You can quickly find out which organic keywords drive the most SEO traffic to your site and which landing pages perform well for those keywords. You can also see how Google crawls and indexes your site and fix any issues that might affect your rankings.
• SEO Analysis Tool: This is a paid tool like Semrush, Ahrefs, or SE Ranking that automatically tracks the top 100 ranking URLs for every keyword imaginable in the SERPs. You can use any one of these tools to analyze your website’s organic keyword rankings in Google as well as your competitors’ sites. You can also see how much traffic each keyword brings, how difficult it is to rank for it, and what kind of SERP features it triggers.

Last week's thread on June 1st, 2023.

Summary of the issue as far as I know:
Android device logins seem to be broken on the US server (Aurora Blast Client) on app version 1.21.2 for several people.
You can download the patch, but it will get stuck at the very end (the final 83.8mb download). If you close the app and reopen it, it will get stuck at "updating essential resources" and not let you proceed.
If you are on the pre-anniversary patch, DO NOT UPDATE from the Play Store. Modern versions of Android do not support downgrading apps. If you have already updated the app, use the following method to downgrade back to the old version (app version 1.19.4). I have confirmed it works, but this is just a workaround, update to the latest patch whenever Tourdog announces a fix.
Downgrade Tutorial:

1. FULLY uninstall any existing version of Alchemy Stars: Aurora Blast from your phone. Some idiot OEMs modify Android, so your flavor of Android may not fully uninstall AS without extra steps (like unticking "keep app data" or removing OBB files manually).
2. Go to this link and download AuroraStore_4.2.3.apk, an open source client that fetches files directly from the Play Store servers. Here is an FAQ for the project if you're worried about safety or breaking Google ToS. This method is safe but you can choose to create a new Google account for the login if you're not comfortable using your main account.
3. Since the Aurora Blast client is specific to the US region, you cannot use an anonymous account for the download. You need to use a Google account set to the US region. Login to Aurora Store with your US Google account.
4. Search for Alchemy Stars: Aurora Blast and open the app page.
5. Click on the top right menu, and select "Manual Download".
6. It will ask you for a version code. Type in " 2036181".
7. The download will start automatically. Launch the app afterwards and it should work. Enjoy.
8. Disable auto-updates from the Play Store to make sure your game does not break again.

I could not find any more convenient sources for the APK and OBB for the old version 1.19.4. I do not trust popular sites like QooApp and ApkPure as their safety cannot be verified, and they do not support automatic OBB installation or host old versions of games. Therefore I recommend getting your files straight from the Google servers using Aurora Store. I considered extracting the APK and OBB myself, but then you would have to trust that I have not modified the file. Better to do it yourself.
Background Info:
I noticed and reported this issue as soon as the anniversary patch was out. It's been 10 hours since my report, and there's still no official acknowledgement from TD other than an email that told me to check my network for problems. It's definitely affecting many people, judging from Reddit, Discord and Twitter. Kinda sad for an anniversary patch. I would expect compensation for this. Maybe all dev resources are focused on the China release and they forgot about US lol.

Currently making my FNAF Timeline but I haven't been using a lot of years or times of events mainly because we don't know certain times and also because everything after UCN complicates the timeline, a lot, and a lot of that is because of the FF books. But I think I figured out the earliest possible time everything occurs and the correct order of when everything from UCN onwards happens.
In The Man in Room 1280, we know he wasn't there for longer than 10 years as Heracles Hospital only existed the last 10 years but we know he was there more than 1 year after FFPS. This means TMIR1280 can be anywhere from 2025 to 2033. After this story, the agony of Andrew infects tons of animatronics and toys. This includes Fetch, Ella, Plushtrap Chaser, and Foxy from Steo Closer. This means all 4 of those stories must be AFTER The Man In Room 1280 but when? Also, this story is in Fall.
Well, Fetch is our key here. Greg is 14 in this story and has never heard of Freddy's and he's been in this town since 1st grade with the Freddy's there already closed down. This means, at the very least, the place has been closed for 7 years. This isn't some old pizzeria though, it's one that opened after TMIR1280 as Fetch is there infected by Andrew meaning this story, at earliest, happens in 2032, and that's assuming these Freddy's locations lasted less than a year. The Ultimate Guide claims Fetch has in Freddy's for at least 10 years, so, I'm gonna say Freddy's was opened for 3 years after TMIR1280 and stayed shut the next 7 when Greg arrived. That would place Fetch, at earliest, in 2035 and, at most, in 2043. This story also takes place from November to January.
But it gets funner. In Fetch, we meet Jake McNally who some think is Jake from The Real Jake who becomes apart of the Stitchwraith. If this is true then Jake was 4 in Fetch and he's 9 in The Real Jake meaning 5 years have passed making the story take place in 2040 at the earliest and 2048 at the latest. This story is in Summer
Then there's the epilogues where Larson meets with Margie, the woman looking after Jake. Margie has been here for just over 3 years, in The Real Jake, Margoe was there for 3 years implying that the epilogues seem to take place the same year that The Real Jake ends. Meaning the Stitchwraith Stingers begin in 2040 at the earliest and 2048 at the latest. This means that the majority if the Stitchline must occur over the course of 2025 to 2040 or 2033-2048, meaning 15 years.
The rest of the stories are a little more ambiguous with time. The ball put has 30 years of Eleanor's victims within it and the earliest possible date of the Epilogues in 2040 meaning the earliest year Eleanor started her murders was 2010. The latest is 2048 meaning she would've started her murders in 2018, either way, Eleanor existed prior to FNAF 3 which makes sense as stories as Blackbird is revealed to be connected to Eleanor which is a story where the main characters remember Freddy's existed, not a new version of Freddy's like in Fetch, but the older version, likely 1993. Sam and Nole were kids when they went to Freddy's, now they're in college, so significant time has passed, a 17 year gap isn't impossible, so Bkackbird could be in 2010. Blackbird is also in Spring.
According the Graphic Novel, Into the Pit is in 2020.
To Be Beautiful takes place a week before the events of the first Stitchwarith Stinger, so 2040-2048. This story is also confirmed to happen in Winter.
Count the Ways is likely after the chain closes as Funtime Freddy in that story likely comes from the Circus Baby's in Dance with Me that is likely after Fazbear Entertainment started up meaning anywhere between 2025-2028 at the earliest is when Dance with Me happens, at the latest it's 2033-2036. This story is in Fall. Count the Ways must have Funtime Freddy in the scrapyard for ages, meaning the story probably happens around the time of Fetch where teens would remember Freddy's or Baby's. So, 2035 to 2040 or 2043 to 2048. This story happens in late December.
Stinger #2 seems to happen very soon after Out of Stock as I doubt the Plushtrap Chaser would just be sitting there destroyed for years until the epilogues meaning 2040-2048. The story is stated to be in late October.
1:35 AM has Phineas Taggart looking for Ella's energy telling us he already started his agony experiments and by the time of Stinger #3 he has Ella, so it has to be before that. Story is in Spring.
Step Closer's time period relative to the epilogues is unconfirmed but seeing how Freddy's is open at this time and by Fetch it's closed, it seems to be before Fetch, likely in the same time period as Dance with Me. Happens in August or September because of Homecoming.
Hide-And-Seek is the same as Step Closer, it's unclear the timeline but we know Freddy's is open, so likely in the same time period as Step Closer and Dance with Me. Story in Spring.
So, here's how the Timeline might be assuming the earliest years are correct.
Spring 2010: Blackbird
Summer 2020: Into the Pit
Fall 2025: The Man In Room 1280
August/Septmeber 2026: Step Closer
Fall 2026: Dance with Me
Spring 2027: Hide-and-Seek
November 2035-January 2036: Fetch
December 2036: Count the Ways
Spring 2040: 1:35 AM
Summer 2040: The Real Jake
Stitchwaith Stinger 3 and 4
October 2040: Out of Stock (I'm assuming that the beginning of Stinger 2 is a flashback since of it isn't, that would imply that Larson waited months to talk to Margie after saying he'd take the case)
Winter 2040: To Be Beautiful
2041: The Rest of The Stingers Happen After
So, that's it huh? Most of the stories happen after FFPS and 15 years after TMIR1280 is when stuff from Help Wanted onwards happens. Well, there's still one problem.
Help Wanted heavily implies that this FE's first attempt to rebrand after FFPS, they hire a rogue indie dev to exclusively make games on the events that were "claimed" to happen up to 2023 and those are the only events they're trying to hide. This can't be after the Frights stories as by the end of the story it seems most people have forgotten about the stuff that happened back in the 80s as all that happened over half a century ago.
So, if Help Wanted is what started up the new FE then TMIR1280 must be after that as we see people working in the distribution center meaning it's operational. So, ignoring the Frights, when is the earliest that Help Wanted could happen?
Well, assuming that the company started right after FFPS burned to the ground and assuming Steve releases the FNAF games at the same rate Scott did which is likely as the third game gets finished after Velntine's day just like FNAF 3 in real life, that would mean the 3 indie games are finished by March of 2025, a decade after Scott finished his trilogy. Now, let's say that soon after they have the VR company start production of the game after that and that the game Help Wanted happens when the game released IRL then it would be May of 2026 when that happens. Then, directly after that FE starts back up which is when TMIR1280 takes place, a couple months later in Fall of 2026. This would place the ending of the Stitchline in 2042 at the earliest, essentially moving all the years I said earlier up by one.
Okay, so it's after Help Wanted and 15 years later is when the Stitchline ends and Tales begins, perfect. However, one of Special Delivery's unreleased emails tell us that in AR, Vanessa is 23. You have to at least 18 to be a beta tester, so, at the latest, AR has to be in 2031 which would place it 5 years before Fetch. Now, time does pass between AR and a Security Breach as we know the CDs are at least a year before the game starts as implied by GGY. However, over a decade and a half passing between them (as Security Breach can only happen in 2035, 2046, 2057, etc as shown by the calendars) is nuts, especially as that would make Vanessa 37 which I find unlikely.
This is simply impossible, the other option is that Security Breach happens during Frights which wouldn't make much sense with how few people seem familiar with Freddy's, you'd think someone would mention the Pizzaplex. It's also important to point out that Scott said Frights would fill in the blanks of the past while the games would go to the future. Basically, all the games after UCN need to be AFTER Frights.
This isn't THAT big of a problem considering that some people including Larson remembers Freddy's and the murders, so it's possible that Steve has heard of them as well.
So, going back to the original years I suggested, the minimum years, the Help Wanted story probably happens in 2042-2043 with Help Wanted the game taking place in May of 2044. Assuming Curse of Dreadbear is canon and that the DLC releases the same time both IRL and in continuity like seems to be the case with FNAF 1-3 then that happens in October of 2044. If we're still taking things literally then December of 2044 is when FE starts building the Pizzaplex as seen in the Christmas Update. This means that Security Breach, at the earliest, is in 2052 meaning 2047 is the latest the place opens.
This would mean Submechaphobia, Cleithrophobia, Under Cinstruction, HAPPS, and Pressure likely all happen in 2047. GGY happens less than 4 years into the Pizzaplex's lifespan meaning it takes place in 2050 or 2051 meaning that Vanessa likely didn't get hired as a guard until 2051. Assuming she was only 18 in VR, she would be 23 in 2049 which would be when AR takes place meaning in Security Breach she'd be 26 which is reasonable. AR being in 2049 makes the start of the therapy tapes in 2050 or 2051 and I think a year or 2 is enough time for Vanessa to get closer with Luis and Luis to switch from IT to Marketing Department.
During that from when Vanessa was hired to when Security Breach takes place would likely be when Bobbiedots happens, where the STAFF meeting resulting in the death of employees happens, and the replacement of the employees with STAFF Bots.
So, that's what I think, majority of the Frights take place from 2025 to 2041 with the all three indie games being made by Spring of 2043, Help Wanted happening in Spring of 2044, the Pizzaplex starts construction in December of that year, The Epilogues happen in 2046, The Pizzaplex opens in 2047, Several Talea Stories Happen In 2047, AR happens in 2049, GGY happens in 2050 or 2051, Vanessa becomes Security in 2051, and Security Breach happens in 2052.

Hey there, I’m a longtime player that recently returned to the game after about a 10-year hiatus.
After being traumatized by the experience that is the online discord Roll20 community, I decided to try my luck at some good ol’ fashioned in-person D&D.
My latest online campaign hadn’t been going well for a few sessions after the DM took control of a dragon we were supposed to fight and started using it to awkwardly flirt with the only female player while the rest of us spent literal hours perpetually failing our saves against a fear aura with a seemingly unbeatable DC. The female player’s druid was okay though with her 28 Wisdom, and wearing enough artifact-tier magic items to probably qualify as an actual construct.
Anyway, there were probably some red flags I should have picked up on earlier… But by this point my standards were so low that as long as the DM could demonstrate some frontal lobe development and an absolutely basic understanding of the rules, that was good enough for me.
Regardless, all of this is irrelevant to my current predicament.
A bit of background on me. Most of my experience comes from playing 3.5 in college. The culture was a bit different back then, with less focus on player power fantasy and more on brutal campaigns with tactically difficult encounters (at least that’s how we played)... This will be somewhat relevant later.
Anyway, on with the story.
Our tale begins at the local game store with an experienced, older DM. He’s been playing D&D for much longer than me, and I get excited as we start talking about 3.5. The current campaign is 5e, which I don’t like as much, but everyone plays it and it’s fine.
We start in a default Forgotten Realms setting at level 3. The other players are: Gnoll Rogue, Orc Fighter, Halfling Cleric, Human Bard and me (Human Sorcerer).
We roll for stats, which is a red flag, and of course almost everyone cheats, but whatever… That’s just a given. I put a 16 in CHA and garbage for almost everything else, while everyone except the Bard has like, at least 2 17+’s and everything else above 13. Strangely, the DM doesn’t seem to even notice or care.
Regardless, the first session actually goes well. We introduce ourselves and meet up to guard an outpost on the edge of town from bandit raids, and fight some easy combats.
Anyway, session two comes along and the problems start.
We are wandering through the woods and suddenly get ambushed and put in an impossible combat. They have at least 5 mounted fighters, a cleric, a handful of archers and an arcane caster that nukes half the group with a fireball on round two, downing two players. They also have a ton of cover because we accidentally stumbled upon their secret camp or something, while we have none.
I’m ready for the TPK when the bandits surround us and demand our surrender, which of course we do. They say they’ll let us live if we give them all our gold, so… That happens.
We tend to our wounds and stumble back to the outpost, report our failure and everyone generally feels like shit… But the outpost commander pays us each about half of what we lost for ‘finding the location of their camp’, which feels lame, but okay.
And then the game continues… And pretty much every combat from then on starts to turn into a repeat of this scenario.
I quickly notice that monsters have widely inconsistent stat blocks. One encounter we’ll fight 5 goblins that go down without a fight - and the next they’ll have multiple attacks, magic weapons and armor, absurd saves, advantage on pretty much everything, 30+ hit points each, etc.
We actually had a combat where I upcasted my Sleep to second level and affected literally 0 goblins. The DM said they worked for a powerful wizard who gave them focuses to make them immune. I then wasted a turn casting Web in an advantageous spot, and all 8 goblins passed their save without fail (except for one) over three rounds… Which is pretty much statistically impossible even for creatures with moderately high reflex saves.
To make things worse, the encounters seemed to be specifically tailored to counter our party. Whenever we found a strategy that worked, the monsters magically either spontaneously happened to have a solution, or the next fight was even worse.
One time the entire party was routed fighting a bunch of dumb melee skeletons, and so I made myself levitate 15-feet into the air and blasted them with cantrips until they were all dead. The next fight, the skeletons were flying.
Another time, the Fighter ate an attack of opportunity from a large Owlbear so the Bard could get out of melee, only to find out that this Owlbear had multiple reactions for some reason.
Our summons would also be turned against us by ‘powerful wizards’ in the area, and on more than one occasion, when we were winning, a group of enemies were straight up teleported into the middle of our group from outside of combat and got a full round of attacks against us.
I think some of us were suspicious that the DM was just straight up cheating on rolls as well, but a few players were unfamiliar with the rules so they kinda just trusted everything. I started writing down how much HP each monster required to take down, the number of passed and failed saves, etc., and yeah - it became obvious pretty quickly, I think, that the DM was just fudging everything on his end.
And look, I’m no stranger to impossibly difficult combat or campaigns - but at least in those cases the DM was playing by the rules, so even losing could still be fun… But when my actions have no actual impact on the outcome of the battle because nothing is real, I might as well do nothing at all.
But the DM never actually killed anyone, although sometimes I kind of wished he would kill me.
The typical combat would usually go something like this: some weak monsters show up, we start fighting, are suddenly ambushed by much stronger enemies out of nowhere, which then either let us escape or just leave once we are dying and trying to escape.
And the constantly making us feel like shit extended to the story as well. There was no overarching plot. We weren’t the heroes, or even important at all, but just a ragtag band of irrelevant drifters barely scraping together enough gold to not starve.
Not only were we complete losers that could only succeed at quests by getting our asses handed to us and returning with ‘information’, but every decision we made came back to bite us in the ass.
One time we helped a poor villager woman find her son who was lost in the woods, only to be hunted down in a completely different province by a band of extremely powerful cultists who had marked the kid as a sacrifice.
Also, the Gnoll had been eating the corpses of our enemies and generally acting like a murder hobo… And originally our party had a problem with it, but the player got very defensive OOC whenever our characters (IC) tried to stop him and claimed we were ‘ruining his RP’. So I think we all kinda gave up and just ignored him.
So yeah, it turns out he ate the son of some influential noble and we were hunted down by extremely powerful bounty hunters (we were level 4 and they had a wizard who could cast 6th level spells). We frantically escaped and managed to find a body part of said noble. The DM graciously let us resurrect the kid at a church, but we had to fork over literally all of our money and almost every magic item we had earned by that point.
So on top of everything, the party was starting to fall apart. The Gnoll wanted to kill and eat just about everyone, which the Orc thought was funny… But it also made doing any sort of quest just about impossible.
By level 5, we started breaking out into PVP about once a session (usually everyone vs. the Gnoll/Orc)… In response, the Gnoll and Orc (who were newer players) started asking the DM for extremely powerful abilities (that were either incredibly vague or straight up didn’t make sense within the context of the rules) or insane equipment that they ‘should’ have because of their race/background/heritage or whatever just to get an edge - which, to his credit, the DM denied (although the Orc randomly found a +1 Flametongue Greatsword in a cave somewhere).
I do not know why I am still in this game. The DM is nice, friendly and has a very passive demeanor. He also clearly has a very deep understanding of the game across multiple editions, so I’m honestly mystified as to what he is getting out of this - as he doesn’t appear to take any kind of pleasure in just torturing us. He keeps telling us that the early game is ‘hard’ because we are just starting out and making a name for ourselves, but it never gets any easier.
I still have fun hanging out with some of the players and interacting with NPCs, but any time it comes to combat, I keep hoping in vain that this time will be different only to be slapped in the face again.
Anyway, I feel like now I know how the humans in that Ellison novel who were eternally tormented by AM must have felt.
Admittedly though, it’s still a better experience than anything I’ve found in the online Roll20 community.
Please help me.

Windfall Geotek (TSXV: WIN, OTC: WINKF) uses AI for mining explorations. Doing this has several advantages, as it notably reduces costs and increases efficiency, and ultimately raises the company exploration success rate. Windfall also improved its financial statements by reducing expenses and augmenting its revenue. WIN is not a mining company. It is a cutting-edge AI mining service that identifies drill targets, saving time and money and vastly reducing exploratory drilling. It was established in 2005. Windfall Geotek’s AI technology analyzes geological data from various target sources to generate the highest probable drill targets. Its technology works for all metals. The company takes geological data from multiple sources, including drill holes and rock samples, publicly available sources, and others, to build models that can accurately predict where a particular metal or group of metals is likely to be found. WIN’s value proposition? Instead of mining companies and engineers ‘guessing’ where to drill, Windfall’s AI technology uses machine learning to process large quantities of data to predict zones with the desired mineralization. The benefits are apparent, and the Company has put it in a very strong financial position. $1.2M in cash and $2.47M in total assets with no debt Windfall holds several marketable securities worth $871k. Its most significant ownership stake is in Puma Exploration, worth $228k for 1.2M shares, and Power Nickel representing $210k for 1.4M shares. The company issued 133.6M shares, 8.26M options (avg. price: $0.10) and 19.6M warrants (avg. price: $0.25). The company has no current plans to exercise either option or warrants. Here is a link to WINN’s Equity Portfolio. Below the ‘assets held’ chart are the further significant Royalties payable to Windfall. WIN’s formative technology can be illustrated by delving into the Chapais area in Quebec. Dinesh Kandanchatha, Chairman of Windfall Geotek, commented: “We are excited to partner with the team at Quebec Copper & Gold. Windfall Geotek intends to play a key part through our AI to help the project succeed.” Highlights of the Chapais Property: Large property with 36 claims and 1,560 hectares located 490 km northwest of Montreal. Road accessible with power grid access.” Windfall Geotek AI system has generated significant gold, copper, and zinc targets across the entire land package. The Chapais property was sold to Quebec Copper and Gold for 500,000 shares & issuing a 2% NSR subject to a 1% buyback. Windfall Geotek will take all available data and conduct a large-scale AI targeting project over both Opemiska & Chapais Project, which will then be owned by Quebec Copper & Gold. Nathan Tribble P.Geo, WIN Director, commented: “The Chapais Property is well situated in a prolific region that has produced over 1 billion pounds of copper and 1 million ounces of gold. It’s exciting to see the large AI-generated targets within favorable rock types that were host to the historic Perry and Springer mines adjacent to our land package. During this new supercycle of electrification metals this is a fabulous project that should gain a lot of attention here in short order.” A detailed and informative discussion of the AI Mining Process is here. The market for AI services in the mining industry is forecast to be worth US$240 million by 2024, up from US$76 million in 2019, according to GlobalData. So, how should investors position themselves? 66% of mining companies are using AI in 2022, up from 57% in 2021, according to the latest survey from Axora. Windfall has identified gold, copper, and zinc targets. The use of drones also enhances methods. WIN’s EagleEye Drones will begin tests in the mining sector with the acquisition and analysis of survey data. The company plans to partner with operators of leading surveying companies to obtain geophysical data and generate potential drill targets using drones, modified sensors, and the CARDS AI software system. Bottom Line This story has legs. The ability to save money, time, and resources makes mineral exploration exceptionally cost-effective, raising profits while cutting costs. Logic dictates areas that might have been too expensive to do traditional discovery tests and processes are open. It doesn’t get much more complicated. The advantage comes as Windfall Geotek advances its scope of business and leverages the ongoing development of its technology.

Posted on other sub also.I retired and had a calculation on my pension. We recently divorced and had a QDRO in place. Fidelity is now telling us that the saved calculation is now not valid due to the QDRO and divorce. It is now calculated at a MUCH lower rate due to the rates changing this year. Is this legal or normal?
