Heat transfer between heteroentropic generators

Unsure how to tag this

Imagine: uninverted object A generates and emits heat. Uninverted object B also generates and emits heat. How this occurs does not matter, whether it is by radioactive decay, battery operated resistive heating, etc. Suppose B is inverted. From the uninverted A perspective, B is now un-generating and un-emitting heat. From the inverted B perspective, the same is true of A.

Now what happens when the two touch?

A wants to transmit heat into B, since it is hot. This adds energy to B in the forwards direction of time, allowing A to cool towards the future. From B's perspective, A is ripping heat away from it. This means that B cools towards the past. B cooling towards the past means it is heating towards the future.

Given that B will appear cold to the univerted world, this means that the two objects will approach an equilibrium temperature (towards the future) despite both being heat generating objects. Which generator is stronger will affect the equilibrium temperature; the sun emits far more heat than a human. Thus, an inverted human will heat up towards the future, and the sun will effectively not cool. To the inverted human, it would thus feel like the sunlight is cooling them, as is accepted by some.

My initial assumption before working through the thought experiment was that the objects would both heat towards infinity in their respective directions, which may be the cause of annihilation (via burning, melting, or otherwise structurally failing). Alas, not meant to be.

I know this is unnecessarily technical and a waste of time, but I still think it is quite cool.

Soldier Gear at Oslo

(Let me know if this is the wrong flair)

I've been pretty obsessed with the exceptionally cool tactical gear used by Tenet operatives throughout the movie since I first watched the movie, and interested in making tenet-esc kits for airsoft. After some looking around, I saw that nobody has put together any documentation on the gear worn by TP at Oslo, so I scrubbed through it to find matches.

Helmet: Very apparently a PASGT or M88. I can't tell what model, but it seems thick enough to be real.

Gloves: Oakley assault gloves, or a close copy of them.

Vest: Surprisingly, TP is wearing two pieces of torso equipment. Knowing that they used condor gear for the stalsk 12 soldiers, I managed to figure out that the same brand is used here. The vest is a Condor Vanquish LCS plate carrier, and he in wearing a Condor Ronin chest rig over it with some mag pouches.

Gas Mask: Thanks to other threads, identified as a Forsheda A4

I was unable to identify the footwear or clothing, but I am pleasantly surprised with how affordable this getup would be. Condor plate carriers are pretty cheap, as are PASGT-alike cadet helmets. Even the mask is only around a hundred bucks. All and all, a very simple and reproducible kit.

Anvil Toolkit Struggles

I've seen a lot of mods that replace in-game patches and camouflage patterns with alternatives, and used several. Recently I have been trying to add my own camo to the game following tutorials, but I have been struggling immensely with anvil. It is simply refusing to play along and open any diffusemaps in the texture viewer, and thus I cannot reach the step to replace the texture. How is this done now, has the process changed significantly?
