Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate to the nation on Wednesday via video conferencing a second generation (2G) ethanol plant built at an estimated cost of Rs 900 crore in Haryana’s Panipat, his office said.
The dedication of the plant is part of a long series of steps taken by the government over the years to boost the production and usage of biofuels in the country, a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said.
This is in line with the prime minister’s constant endeavour to transform the energy sector to make it more affordable, accessible, efficient and sustainable, it said.
On the occasion of World Biofuel Day, Prime Minister Modi will dedicate the second generation (2G) ethanol plant in Panipat, Haryana to the nation on August 10, 2022 at 4:30 PM via video conferencing, the statement said.
The 2G ethanol plant has been built at an estimated cost of over Rs 900 crore by the Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL) and is located close to the Panipat Refinery.

what do you mean 44% of American Corn goes to fuel ethanol. Barbaric. What the hell.
Tumblr media
Agricultural policy... is not very good! And I know that already but it's somehow even more ridiculous than my intuition. Basically all increases in corn production since 1980 have gone into fuel ethanol. Just don't use that land! It's free carbon sequestration!

World Biofuel Day is observed every year on 10th August to create awareness about the importance of non-fossil fuels as an alternative to conventional fossil fuels and to highlight the various efforts made by the Government in the biofuel sector.
Biofuels are environment-friendly fuels and their utilization would address global concerns about the containment of carbon emissions. Biofuels are derived from renewable biomass resources and, therefore, provide a strategic advantage to promote sustainable development and supplement conventional energy sources in meeting the rapidly increasing requirements for transportation fuels associated with high economic growth, as well as in meeting the energy needs of India’s vast rural population.

World Biofuel Day
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Every year on August 10th, the world celebrates World Biofuel Day to raise awareness of the value of non-fossil fuels as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels and to highlight the numerous government initiatives in the biofuel industry.
The day honours Sir Rudolf Diesel's scientific experiments. He used peanut oil in 1893 to power an engine. His research suggested that in the coming century, numerous mechanical engines would run on vegetable oil instead of fossil fuels.
Biofuel refers to any fuel made from biomass, which includes plants, algae, or animal waste. They are sustainable, biodegradable, and renewable energy sources. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has been observing World Biofuel Day since 2015. Biofuels provide a number of advantages, including the ability to lessen reliance on imports, maintain a cleaner environment, increase farmer income, create jobs, etc.
Numerous actions have been taken by the Indian government to increase the mixing of biofuels. Recently, the Central Government has permitted the production of ethanol from surplus rice.
Last but not the least, the theme for this year in 2022 is: "Promotion of biofuels for a better environment." It will be crucial to use biofuels as efficiently as possible while limiting any negative impacts they may have on the environment. Another key goal will be to increase public knowledge of the availability of biofuels as reliable alternatives to conventional fuels.

SLAY, an animal rights documentary on animals in the fashion industry, has to be one of the most poorly researched documentaries I’ve seen in awhile. Not only does the documentary go after fur (which is to be expected), but also wool and leather while making some startlingly false claims. 
First of the major claims against fur is that they state fur is not biodegradable, a talking point they admit to taking from Collective Fashion Justice (an animal rights clothing collective). CFJ claims that only 20% of the fur is biodegradable, which they took from a portion of this study. The actual statistic is that at the 30-day mark the mink had degraded by 25.8%, while the fake fur hadn’t degraded at all. 
According to the paper, “in the disintegration test, it was observed that the Undyed mink fur, Undyed fox fur, Dyed mink fur and Dyed fox fur partially disintegrated [after 30 days]: the skin fell apart and disappeared but the hairs remained. The fake fur did not show any disintegration, only discoloration” (Debeer). Fur is made of pure keratin which is hard to break down, this is why there are some hair follicles still left over from extinct animals! The part that is easier to disintegrate is leather part, even with the tanning process the material is biodegradable. 
The most irritating claim they make is that fur, leather, and wool have a higher carbon footprint. First, the carbon footprint doesn't take into account the fact that cattle, sheep, and animal raised for fur produce multiple products. A polyester shirt is only a polyester shirt, the cow the leather is made out of also produced milk, meat, and important by-products. While animals raised for fur also produce important oils, biofuel, and eat animal waste products from other industries.

People who are against both fossil fuels and nuclear really need to read up on their early modern history. Even at a bare minimum subsistence level humans need energy for cooking and (in a great deal of the world) heating and if you want to support a certain level of population (I.e. a level that most of the world passed by 1900 and and the rest by 2000) in most of the world you're gonna need the products of industry to produce sufficient food (like have fun doing earthworks on heavy soil without metal tools). By 1800 much of Western Europe and Eastern Asia (especially the more densely populated parts like like England and France in the former and Shandong and the Yangzi delta in the latter) were facing severe ecological stress due to the high wood demand for both household and industrial uses(even while they imported large amounts of it from less dense areas like the Baltic coast, North America and South East Asia). This loss of forest lead to a range of issues like soil erosion, rising water tables, increased flood damage and even localised climate change (many people believe that the "European Monsoons" of the late 18/early 19th century were the result of deforestation while forest loss is used to explain north Chinese rainfall patterns to this day).
Southern China was only barely able to stabilise the situation through developments in cooking/hating fuel use efficiency and the use of a range of alternative fuels like dung and crop residues (and maintaining this level of crop and livestock production required yet more imports like beancake fertiliser from Manchuria) while the situation in the North continued to deteriorate into the 20th century. Meanwhile forest cover and soil health in Europe only began to recover when use of coal both fully displaced wood as an an energy source and allowed the development of other technologies to reduce the level of land clearance necessary to support society. That's not to say this solution was perfect of course (I'm sure we all know what effects this use of coal has had on the global climate, while part of the return to forest in Europe was the result of Europeans importing land intensive commodities from other parts of the world; essentially exporting the forest clearance) and we are in desperate need of an alternative, but when deciding on which alternative you need to reckon with this. Flat out "de-industrialisation" is not only an intensely cruel solution in human terms but simply isn't environmentally viable either. Wind, water and biofuel could barely support a planet of 1 billion people how well do you think it'll fare with almost 8 billion. And if you think modern renewable technologies can make up the difference you're gonna need the number to back that up; good vibes is no substitute for the quantity of kilojoules humans needs to survive

Sebastian Vettel tests the Porsche 963
3/22/2024 - The Porsche Penske Motorsport works team and the winner of 53 Formula 1 Grands Prix, Sebastian Vettel, are looking forward to putting the Porsche 963 through its paces. This coming week, the German will take the wheel of the hypercar at the Motorland Aragón. Porsche Penske Motorsport forges ahead with its preparations for this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans with a 36-hour long run in Spain. Vettel has already spent extensive time in a simulator to prepare for the Spanish circuit in Aragón. At a rollout of the Porsche 963 on the test track at Porsche’s R&D Centre in Weissach, he turned his first laps in the hybrid prototype.
Gaining experience in the cockpit of a hypercar prototype
Sebastian Vettel enters new terrain with this test drive: for the first time, the four-time Formula 1 world champion will gain experience in the cockpit of a hypercar prototype. Since 2023, the Porsche Penske Motorsport works team and private teams have campaigned the Porsche 963 in the North American IMSA sports car series and the FIA World Endurance Championship WEC. After winning three IMSA races last year, Porsche Penske Motorsport succeeded in kicking off the 2024 season with a win in both championships. In the WEC, which also incorporates the Le Mans 24-hour highlight, the entire field including the hybrid race car will run on biofuel. This fuel has been used in the WEC since March 2022.
Tumblr media
"I'm looking forward to testing the Porsche 963. I already got the chance to get a feel for the car during a rollout in Weissach," says Sebastian Vettel. "I've always followed other racing series, and my curiosity for endurance events encouraged me to just give it a shot. Now I'm excited about the long run in Aragón and I'm looking forward to my time behind the wheel. It'll definitely take an adjustment and some getting used to, but everyone in the team is very open and helps me. This will be a new experience for me. We will then see what happens next in this respect. At the moment there are no further plans for the future."
Tumblr media
"We're delighted that Sebastian Vettel is interested in our Porsche 963," explains Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Porsche Motorsport. "There was no question for us that we'd be thrilled to support his request for an opportunity to test and provide him with extensive preparation and plenty of time to drive our hybrid prototype. There's no doubt we'll learn a lot from his valuable feedback. Our 36-hour long run with Porsche Penske Motorsport and our works drivers at Motorland Aragón offers a perfect environment for this."
Getting to know the special features
Vettel has prepared systematically for the test with the Porsche 963. On March 14th he met the operations crew at the Porsche Penske Motorsport facility in Mannheim. The next day, on March 15th, the German completed an extensive simulator session at Porsche Motorsport. There, he got to know the engineers and familiarise himself with the special features and complex control systems of the Le Mans prototype. On March 21st he got his first taste of the Porsche 963 on the in-house test track at the Weissach R&D Centre. It proved to be an unusual experience for the 36-year-old: After 299 Grand Prix starts in Formula 1 single-seaters, it had been some time since Vettel had driven a racing car with a roof; previously only at the Race of Champions or turning demo laps.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next week, Porsche Penske Motorsport will head to the 5.078-kilometre circuit at Motorland Aragón near Alcañiz to conduct a 36-hour long run. Joining Sebastian Vettel for the test are the works drivers Matt Campbell (Australia), Michael Christensen (Denmark), Frédéric Makowiecki (France) Kévin Estre (France), André Lotterer (Germany) and Laurens Vanthoor (Belgium). This endurance test serves as preparation for the highlight of the season in Le Mans on June 15th and 16th. As the record holder, Porsche aims to secure its 20th outright victory at the Circuit des 24 Heures. To increase the chances of the desired success, Porsche Penske Motorsport will field a third Weissach-made hybrid prototype at the French endurance classic in 2024. Mathieu Jaminet from France has already been confirmed to helm the No. 4 car. The customer teams Hertz Team Jota and Proton Competition have entered three more Porsche 963 race cars. Two Porsche 911 GT3 R campaigned by Manthey EMA and Manthey Pure Rxcing will tackle the new LMGT3 category.

Found here through the one Inscryption animatic!
Could you tell more about that AU?
sure thing! i don't develop it much right now but i am really glad you took interest in an old project!
the au is essentially P03 took his charicatures. ocs. uberbot personality matricies and built them bodies to help out around the factory. it was very self indulgent. i also made an au of an au relating to the old data with them (which was slightly implied in that animatic but not a lot)
(the art is a bit old forgive me)
this is the only image i have of them together that isn't whiteboard doodles. i will go from left to right
Tumblr media
curator/the archivist
as the title implies. manages the archives. has a lot of busywork and responsibility. the archives is a big room where everything is represented by a file. it's a computer library in physical form
all the responsibility makes them seem like the most calm/patient and.. kinda? it's more that they are good at hiding when they are frustrated. already has a pretty big managerial role with the librarians so will check in on everyone else's work
nexus/g0lly
collects things from the internet, works closely with curator. the glowy bits are projections, including the arm (where the crank would be... opposies w/ p03. it doesn't work btw). the wheel is optional and she can extend it back to float but doesn't because that's less fun. i forgot exactly where the scratch came from?
she has the vibe of p03's younger teenage sister (it did this to himself) and is very whimsical. she doesn't really bother him that much, more afraid of upsetting him than anything. more often bothers the other bots with random things she finds
kodak/the photographer
manages the factory's security system. all of the cameras are his eyes he can tab between. he is also part furnace and can run on biofuel. likes to leave the factory from time to time to go on walks. he cannot float like the first two but walks around on tripod legs
prefers to keep to himself most of the time. he does his job and then takes his breaks walking around in the projector woods. wants to go to the real woods some day but that requires either crossing an ocean or everyone seeing you and how you're clearly not supposed to be there
sketch/unfinished
robot project that p03 started but never finished. it did have an intended job but i honestly forgot. mute/blind unless given a face by someone else. i remembered wanting to redesign it but as it exists now, the cables attach to the ceiling and there's only designated spots it can run around. body is pretty frail (compared to the other bots. it's still metal) so the others are careful
acts animalistic and strange until given a face. then mirrors the personality of whoever it can follow around. it slowly learns over time and one day will have its own personality
the au with the old data i mentioned has to do with my oc k. who is the old data that got pissed p03 backed out of uploading it to the internet so took him over to do it themselves. took over during the unfinished boss fight (in this au not like the actual uberbots themselves did the game thing. since p03 wanted to do that himself) but the takeover was known and alerted for. the exact details of this version of the au are lost on me but here is k as p03
Tumblr media
and k as k once they lost (because they were still stopped) and became a permanent addition to inscryption world because they couldn't lose the consciousness she gave himself after possessing a sentient character (yay newer art)

Good day to you!
I want to start off by saying that I have been really enjoying your writing style! Your choice of words just really sticks with me.
I was wondering if you perhaps could post a few scenario’s with G/amrock fr.eddy as a pred? Perhaps him using his c.ock for it or him going on a vore spree?
With love,
Anonymous
I know I've made it big when I start getting asks that read like professional email correspondence (I mean that in a nice way, it's cute). Anyhow, I'd love to do some steamy and greedy F.reddy stuff! I can combine it into one story since I don't do much mass cock vore.
The late-night adult shows have been a huge success for the P.izzaplex, so even if the new upgrades and performances are a little...odd, the entire gang has found themselves enjoying it. Of course, it was F.reddy who found himself the most popular out of the entire band, and had nearly nonstop private sessions with premium guests. Sometimes they just wanted to see him up close and get some kind of autograph or picture. But those new upgrades mean that they have...other requests, too. The very thought of it still flustered F.reddy a lot and he's the only one who can't seem to talk about it out loud. But he still performed well enough that it kept him popular and dealing with lots of requests every night. But one request, in particular, had him taken aback.
"S.uperstar, I'm not sure if that's safe," F.reddy explains with a timid smile. "I'm sure there are plenty of other things I can do to make sure you have a good time, however!" All it takes is a single second for F.reddy's cock to expose itself and stand at full mast. He's had all kinds of requests, but this one...well, he's sure that the man will find some other way to enjoy himself and they can move past it. A warm hand on his cock and a few rubs makes the bear moan, pleasure trickling through his sensors. His eyes close as he lets the man enjoy himself. And then...something pushes into him, his cock swallowing it up with ease. It makes the bear shudder and moan out and his eyes snap open again.
The human is kneeling in front of him, already up to his elbow in the bear's shaft. "S-S.uperstar, wait! I told you that's not--ooohhhh..." F.reddy can't resist another pleased moan as the human shoves his arm deeper, up to his elbow. New processes and systems are starting up in F.reddy's head and he can't focus enough to stop them. His leaking cock throbs and finally takes a swallow of its own, sucking the human in up to his chest. F.reddy's claws grip at his couch and he moans again. "S.uperstar..."
With his body taking over naturally, F.reddy can't do anything but let the pleasure wash over him as his cock continues to suck the man deeper. Synthetic balls slowly stretch out below him, filling up with the mass of meat pushing in. His body is made to produce its own safe-to-consume cum as part of his upgrades, and it could use just about any biofuel to do so. A human...will melt just as easily into another load as anything else. Already, pre is dripping down F.reddy's shaft as it slurps down a pair of kicking legs, dropping off an entire person inside.
"Just...Just hold tight, S.uperstar..." F.reddy says between his moaning. "I'll get you out...just as soon as...m-mmf..." The bear wraps a hand around his shaft and begins pumping, leaning his head back with a heavy groan as he gives into the pleasure. "Need to...cum...." His hand moves faster, his body kicking into overdrive to process the human being curled up in his nuts into sludge. They have an easy time, clenching and squeezing over him, pumping some corrosive byproduct inside to soften the man down. Each time F.reddy's nuts squeeze, he lets out a moan, and the bulge of the man inside was getting softer and less defined. "So close...j-just hold on, S.uperstar. I'll get you out...right...now..!" F.reddy throws his head back with a load moan, his cock throbbing a few times in his hand before beginning to fire off his load.
Cum shoots out by the gallon like a geyser, splattering onto the large window that was directly across from F.reddy. Thick, white cream slowly covers the surface of it and begins to pool on the ground, an entire human's-worth of nut sludge splattering everywhere in the bear's dressing room. Something solid comes up near the end and a skeleton ends up plastered to the window, mostly in tact with the man's clothes still hanging limply off of them. The rest was just cum and it helps keeps the skeleton right in place as F.reddy's cock slows to a trickle and the bear is left panting.
F.reddy can't believe what he's done. He killed one of the VIP guests! The shameful image of the act is now a sticky mural covering most of the window before him. Not only that, but a mess like this is bound to take hours of scrub off! He doesn't want to...but he knows that he has to go tell one of the staff. Begrudgingly, F.reddy gets to his feet again and goes to the door to leave his room...and that's when he's met with a small crowd of men. They'd all been watching from the window what happened and now the animatronic had an entire crowd of people looking to be churned into nut slop. F.reddy can't resist as they push into his room and begin to take the plunge.
Early in the morning, a couple cleaners are forced to listen to F.reddy moan and whine as he pumps another heavy-duty condom full of cum. When the bear didn't come back to his spot on stage, some of the technicians had gone to find him, and that's how they discovered the star of their show stuck on his couch, his nuts engorged on a group of living men. After some flustered explanations, the live shows were put on hold so F.reddy could do his processing and the mess could be cleaned.
It's taken a few hours, and about six condoms sloshing full of bones and bear cum, but the entire mess has been cleaned and all of those eager faces are nothing but a thick slop being carted off to a trash chute. F.reddy really hoped that was the end of the ordeal...but come the next night, there'd be a new type of purchase that his and the other's sensors could all detect. A prey badge, for a steep price, would allow any man to be digested whole and alive by an animatronic of his choosing. All thanks to the show F.reddy put on, and the demand he created for a similar experience.
The bear didn't want to admit that he could feel his nuts churning at the thought of another round of live meat.

Rimworld is one of those games that tricks you into doing math for fun. If I wanted I could calculate an animals nutrient consumption/meat production adjusted to consider that animal kibble is worth more nutrition than its crafting components and that half the recipe can be filled by the meat the animal produces. Then I could calculate the ratio of adjusted nutrients consumed by the animal to biofuel produced from the meat. I could even take it one step further and calculate the ratio of nutrients to watt/days of power, you know, for the autism

Happy Halloween!
Do you have any spooky scary day headcannons for our loveable security breach/ruin crew? If so I'd love to hear them!
Happy Halloween to you, too! (Sorry I'm late!) Here are some of my spooky day headcanons!
Glamrock Freddy: He really doesn't like Halloween. He hates being told to scare kids, and he's always reminded of Fazbear Entertainment's dark past when guests dress up like the old animatronics. And the fake blood on people's costumes bring up terrible memories. He does enjoy handing out candy, though.
Glamrock Bonnie: Bonnie really enjoys Halloween! He likes the change of pace in the Pizzaplex, and he loves the spooky vibe. Seeing how clever people get with their costumes is something he always looks forward to! Though since Glitchtrap, the fake blood is really triggering, and he doesn't get to interact much with the guests anymore. But after getting biofuel, he gets to munch on candy with Chica all night!
Glamrock Chica: Costumes! The end of October is just a big costume party and Chica is living for it! And the candy. The candy! She eats more than she hands out, but she loves that she's actually encouraged to eat as much as she wants for Halloween. She also likes to watch horror movies around this time of year!
Roxanne Wolf: Hell yeah, spooky season! Roxy loves the skeletons and ghosts and vampires! Getting to startle guests is also a plus. And seeing Chica dress up in costumes... But damn, when Chica asks to watch horror movies together, Roxy really struggles to hide how scared she is.
Montgomery Gator: Monty looks forward to it every year! He doesn't care about dressing up or the candy. But it's the one time of year when he's praised for being scary. He doesn't have to walk on eggshells around guests, trying not to be too intimidating. Halloween takes the stress off Monty and lets him enjoy his work.
Gregory: He's never gotten the chance to wear decent costumes, if any, but he'll be damned if he missed out on a chance for free candy. And since being taken in by the Glamrocks and Vanessa, he's got a Freddy costume! Which, in Freddy's opinion, makes Halloween worth it. Gregory also loves scaring the guests at the Pizzaplex. He and Monty often team up for a little chaos.
Vanessa: It used to be her favorite holiday! And then she was taken under Glitchtrap's control. And now everyone's costumes remind her of the stupid Vanny outfit she made and wore. She's always worried that one of the people dressed up will be another possessed killer. Gregory's trying to help her heal from the trauma, though, and she has to admit, making candy apples at home is a lot of fun.
Glamrock Helpy: Costumes? Candy? Yay! Helpy loves playing dress up and sharing his sweets with his family. He doesn't recognize the spooky decorations and costumes as "scary". It's just not in his programming. That red stuff on that person's mouth? They must have had a raspberry donut! Oh, but the cookies and pastries with silly faces make him giggle. He doesn't want to eat them, though. They look too fun!
Sun: Eh. They much prefer Easter. It's so bright and fun! But they adore the silly costumes children wear. And decorating the Daycare is always a plus.
Moon: Oh yes, Halloween is right up Moon's alley. The Pizzaplex lights are dimmed, and Moon is encouraged to go out and roam! They love dropping from the ceiling and startling kids before offering them a generous amount of candy from their hat. And they really enjoy decorating the Daycare with Sun.
DJ Music Man: He gets to play spooky music! DJ loves holiday music of all kind, but he only gets to play it at certain times of year. So he's definitely been planning some cool new tunes for Halloween all year! He is ready! And Moon visits him a lot during open hours during Halloween!
Cassie: Yyyyyyyes! Candy and costumes and freaking people out! She always makes crazy costumes out of whatever she has access to. It's more fun to make them than to buy them! And you bet she goes for scary. Spiders and ghouls and all sorts of monsters! But she always comes back to her Roxy costume. And no one will know if she does double rounds in the neighborhood for candy if she wears a different costume...
Patpat: Beep boop beeeep. Beep!
The Mimic: Gregory's never gotten the chance to wear decent costumes, if any, but he'll be damned if he missed out on a chance for free candy. She always makes crazy costumes out of whatever she has access to. It's more fun to make them than to buy them! They love dropping from the ceiling and startling kids-- And you bet she goes for scary.
(Let me know if there are any characters not mentioned who you'd like to see headcanons on!) Thank you for the ask!

Last Monday of the Week 2024-01-08
My guests have just boarded their plane. It was good and now I get to learn exactly what happens when you make my apartment handle three people for two weeks.
Listening: Between the frigid weather and the Maladies, the back half of this trip featured a lot of crashing on the couch. Putting on various background music while people were around featured a lot of Jack de Quidt specials, here's "The Valentine Affair" from Marielda.
The second best part of having an extremely specific music collection that you put together yourself is being shockingly good at telling people who did a particular song when they ask.
Reading: "Small Scale Farmers and Peasants Still Feed The World", a defense of some older UN FAO numbers, and a rebuttal to the paper "How much of our world’s food do smallholders produce?" and by extension Hannah Ritchie's article "Smallholders produce one-third of the world’s food, less than half of what many headlines claim", which was an earlier Reading entry. I think I saw this paper when @probablyasocialecologist posted it.
(PDF linked from that page)
The paper makes some interesting points about the status of the data these studies are based on. It makes me less convinced of their point than it makes me doubtful that anyone has a good number on this, which is valuable on its own. It seems like both the FAO claims and the newer World Development papers have some very arbitrary choices that make it difficult to pin down, but that there is clear value in measuring agricultural productivity differently for these applications.
It mainly brings up the value of including utilization of agricultural calories instead of just looking at raw value output, basically incorporating that a huge amount of the value AND calories produced in highly productive agronomies like the USA end up in cattle feed or biofuels instead of in humans. A good point, we were just talking about this the other day in the biofuel hate tag! It also notes that if you ignore small scale animal agriculture and non-agricultural calorie sources you throw away a lot of calorie conversion in poorer parts of the world.
This is a big deal! Industrial vs Smallholder agriculture is a thing I care a lot about, each one has very variable upsides and downsides and where to focus attentions (yields, transport, industrialization) changes dramatically based on what is the main driver of land use and carbon emissions.
Basically I need to read some more things. Notes to follow maybe.
Watching: I continue to find Jet Lag The Game extremely good.
Playing: Nothing! Busy...
Making: Slides and slips arrived for the Microscope, so I can start doing real mounts. Did a very hasty saliva sample just to check it out, and like. Man it's so nice to have a real scope, you can see epithelial tissue so clearly even with plain old brightfield and no staining. Started working on some printed mounts for a camera. My brother brought my reliable old point-and-shoot up and that's perfectly suited to do some microscopy capture.
Tools and Equipment: I got a basic stylist's comb with a metal tail and it so dramatically simplifies handling long hair when you're washing it. Highly recommended.
