It is possible to distinguish ``intrinsic'' absorption systems (gas clouds within the quasar environment) from ``intervening'' systems (gas clouds unrelated to the quasar phenomenon) by considering certain observational properties. We find that the most direct determinations of the intrinsic nature of a system are time variability and partial coverage of the background light source by the absorption region. Both of these conditions are unlikely to occur in intervening systems. We present Keck and HIRES data which demonstrate both these phenomena. We also summarize a list of several other observational properties which appear to be indicative of ``intrinsic'' systems.

Quasar absorption outflows on galactic scales: Insights from DESI
Five newly characterized quasar absorption outflows in DESI spectra sit 4.5 to 31 kpc from their nuclei, and the most energetic (J1407 S1) reaches about 0.47% of Eddington luminosity, near the feedback threshold.

An energetic absorption outflow in QSO J1402+2330: Analysis of DESI observations
DESI spectra of quasar J1402+2330 reveal a mini-BAL outflow at 2200 pc with a mass loss rate around 1000 M_sun/yr and kinetic luminosity about 5% of Eddington, suggesting significant AGN feedback.

Determining the absolute chemical abundance of nitrogen and sulfur in the quasar outflow of 3C298
Nitrogen and sulfur in the 3C298 quasar outflow are around solar abundance, but the exact value swings from 0.4 to 3 times solar depending on which spectral energy distribution is assumed.
