It is clear that the world is purely parodic, in other words, that each thing seen is the parody of another, or is the same thing in a deceptive form.

Everyone is aware that life is parodic and that it lacks an interpretation. Thus lead is the parody of gold. Air is the parody of water. The brain is the parody of the equator. Coitus is the parody of crime.

Gold, water, the equator, or crime can each be put forward as the principle of things.

And if the origin of things is not like the ground of the planet that seems to be the base, but like the circular movement that the planet describes around a mobile center, then a car, a clock, or a sewing machine could equally be accepted as the generative principle.

The two primary motions are rotation and sexual movement, whose combination is expressed by the locomotive’s wheels and pistons.

These two motions are reciprocally transformed, the one into the other.

Thus one notes that the earth, by turning, makes animals and men have coitus, and (because the result is as much the cause as that which provokes it) that animals and men make the earth turn by having coitus.

It is the mechanical combination or transformation of these movements that the alchemists sought as the philosopher’s stone.

It is through the use of this magically valued combination that one can determine the present position of men in the midst of the elements.

The spectacle originates in the loss of the unity of the world, and the gigantic expansion of the modern spectacle expresses the totality of this loss: the abstraction of all specific labor and the general abstraction of the entirety of production are perfectly rendered in the spectacle, whose mode of being concrete is precisely abstraction. In the spectacle, one part of the world represents itself to the world and is superior to it. The spectacle is nothing more than the common language of this separation. What binds the spectators together is no more than an irreversible relation at the very center which maintains their isolation. The spectacle reunites the separate, but reunites it as separate.

The alienation of the spectator to the profit of the contemplated object (which is the result of his own unconscious activity) is expressed in the following way: the more he contemplates the less he lives; the more he accepts recognizing himself in the dominant images of need, the less he understands his own existence and his own desires. The externality of the spectacle in relation to the active man appears in the fact that his own gestures are no longer his but those of another who represents them to him. This is why the spectator feels at home nowhere, because the spectacle is everywhere.

Within quantum mechanics, the science of the body in motion, the intricacies of the interiorities of mnemonic time—no longer an arrow—are being realized in the (traditionally) feminized shape of the body of the matrix. This is the real time realm of cyberspace where the multiple trajectories of the virtual engender a new kind of looking: disorientation as an alternative to linear perspective. Where women have usually been objects to be looked at, hypermedia systems replace the gaze with the empowered look of the embodied browser in motion in archival space. Always in flux, the shape of time s transformation is a Möbius strip unfolding time into the dynamic space of the postmodern text, into the unfold. As quantum interference, the unfold is a gesture that is a sensory interval. In this in-between space, the transformance of the nomadic browser takes place; she performs the embodied knowledge acquired in her navigation of the world of the text. Quantum space in hypertexts is shaped as an irreducible knot, an entangled equation both in and out of space-time, spanning all dimensions as a node in a mnemonic system. Wanderlust is the engine driving the browser on her quest through the intricately knotted interplay of time and space in these electronic ecosystems. What the browser finds there is rapture—an emergent state of embodied transformation in the experiential realm. What she acquires is not mastery, but agency, and an aesthetic interval of her own.

Hey El_Uly! Sorry to bug you!

Volvo question!

Our 2015 V60 Drive E seems to be leaking oil. We noticed the spot on the driveway the other day and see that the passenger side of the engine and the skid plage under it are wet and coated in oil.

I saw online this was a slightly common issue. There might even be a TSB on it. Do you know how hard this is to fix?

Our normal dealer is slammed and can’t even get us a loaner car for another 2 weeks and we don’t want to drive it too much (as of now we checked the oil level in the dash and it was about 3/4 full)

Should I take it to the other dealer about an hour away. They didn’t seem as familiar with the issue but could get a loaner for us.

Thanks

In fact, the shift from a criminality of blood to a criminality of fraud forms part of a whole complex mechanism, embracing the development of production, the increase of wealth, a higher juridical and moral value placed on property relations, stricter methods of surveillance, a tighter partitioning of the population, more efficient techniques of locating and obtaining information: the shift in illegal practices is correlative with an extension and a refinement of puni­tive practices. Was this a general change of attitude, a ‘change that belongs to the domain of the spirit and the subconscious’ (the expression is Mogensen’s)? Perhaps, but more certainly and more immediately it was an effort to adjust the mechanisms of power that frame the everyday lives of individuals; an adaptation and a refinement of the machinery that assumes responsibility for and places under surveil­lance their everyday behavior, their identity, their activity, their apparently unimportant gestures; another policy for that multiplicity punishment of bodies and forces that constitutes a population. What was emerg­ing no doubt was not so much a new respect for the humanity of the condemned - torture was still frequent in the execution of even minor criminals - as a tendency towards a more finely tuned justice, towards a closer penal mapping of the social body. Following a circular process, the threshold of the passage to violent crimes rises, intolerance to economic offences increases, controls become more thorough, penal interventions at once more premature and more numerous.

Seriously, though, there’s some good stuff out there. Even the quantum feminism bit that I posted isn’t the meatiest excerpt - it gets even more stupider.

sorry for the late response. I’m at Aston/Lotus today so I had to go to another computer. It was the Technical Journal I was thinking of. Those VVT cam plugs are so odd. Not sure why they went for that twist seal design but the very first cars to have it did have some leaking issues. The part number is 31378577. I’m sure they stock it but it’s all a matter of scheduling. Also, we check the drive belt and timing belt. Sometimes those belts get saturated in oil and are going to need to be replaced. If it needs a timing belt, it might take a couple days. If not, depending on scheduling, they can get it done in a day or two to make sure it’s all better. All of course under warranty under TJ 29131, 2 vvt seals.

Well I got really high last night and all I came up with was:

Thanks so much for your help!

Ended up taking it down to the other dealer that could get us in a loaner. It was an hour and 15 away instead of 30 but it seemed worth it. They always are winning awards for the best service department in the state. Also, its where I got my C30 and where we got the V60 from.

2016 XC60 T5 Drive E. Pearl white with black leather. BLIS, heated seats, and proximity package. Very nice car.

More than likely, one like this will be replacing the almost out of warranty 2012 S60.
