I’m having too many thoughts about about Trigun Stampede and it’s probably nothing, but here we go (beware some very heavy handed religious comparisons/symbolism)

This is somewhere between actual meta/character analysis and fanfic, but whatever:

Nai

You are a child and to the best of your knowledge you are one of the only two beings like you in existence. You are a child and you are told that your creation was miraculous, that you are perfect and the future itself. You are neither Human nor Alien, you are simply Other. You are better than either. Unflawed. You are a child and you see the species from which you were created, a species that was artificially created as a means to an end, live out their entire lives in captivity, in servitude. You are taught they are non-sapient, perhaps even non-sentient, and without free will. You exist to serve too, but you resent this. You resent that you are meant to be like the humans, to pretend that you are one of them. You find humanity contemptible and resent their endless wars and conquest and enslavements and pain (you have had a relatively painless childhood). And you read their scriptures and feel confident in your knowledge of humanity’s failures and inherent depravity. Their religious histories are teeming with injustice, with pain, and war and famine. You are a child, but you are intelligent. If this is what they believe in, what can you do? What Good can they really do? You begin to Doubt.

You discover another of your kind, a third, and she has been taken apart and studied by these humans. You are being raised to love them. You don’t. They love you like a dog loves a bone. You can only destroy them before they destroy you. You are intelligent and full of what can only be righteous fury, and you make them Fall. Your brother resents you, resents the deaths, is terrified and hurt and you have to Save Both of You.

Some of the humans survive. You twist them into their own downfall. You take their scriptures and turn words to weapons. It is an honor to serve you, you are an angel, a god, salvation and creation at your fingertips. Death, too. You are owed this for the depravity you and your kind have been subjected to. (You don’t realize, or maybe you no longer care, what you are subjecting them to.) If your brother will not join you on your mission he will die for it. For the greater good. (Who will survive your greater good?)

Wolfwood

You are a child and you aren’t raised to be nice, but you try to be kind. You protect your little brother. You are smart and strong and independent and you care too much. You are raised to believe in a very present god. No one tells you if he is a loving god or not. His angels and priests take you away and it is an honor to be chosen, to be god’s child of blessing. (It is a relief to be taken so no one else will be.)

You go through hell, you live in purgatory. Maybe it is still hell, your skin no longer feels like your own and your hands are bloodstained and fit only around the grip of a gun. You are not allowed to die. You find out your little brother isn’t either. He’s in hell too, but not with you. The god you serve is not a loving god, nor are his angels kind. You are god’s righteous man and you bear a cross and all of the weight of the blood spilled on it, by it.

You are a weapon and any morals you might have grown into are collateral damage. You would do anything for your family. You have done Everything for your family. They don’t mourn or look for you, the blessed chosen one.

You have free will. There is also a gun to your and everyone you’ve ever loved’s heads.

You aren’t sure if you’re a person anymore. (What greater good requires monsters like you? What god would create demons?)

You follow orders. You don’t believe in anything. You could fill oceans with the blood you have spilled. You are told if you follow this last order you will be free and your family will be safe. You aren’t even supposed to kill him, just lead him to his death. You’ve done so many horrible things, this pales in comparison. And you’re already in hell.

You find him. He’s the kindest person you’ve ever met and he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. He takes on as much hurt as he can, sometimes more. He saves your family without even knowing, and he saves them again when you sell him out. He doesn’t hold it against you.

The first thing you do as a free man is try to save someone. You have decided you care enough to try, just this once. The world still ends. And you still aren’t allowed to die. Better people have already died for you. For your sins.

Vash

You are a child and you love your family very much. You aren’t as special as your brother, as useful, but you love learning and exploring and people. You see the good in everyone. You are terrified when you discover another being like you and your brother, terrified by how she has been treated, by her being a secret, by what else the person you see as a parent might be hiding from you. But you trust her and love her and inevitably mourn her. You are taught to love and serve humans and it is your life’s work.

Your brother makes your world end and says you helped. Everyone you’ve ever cared about except him is dead. You are terrified and you spend the next century atoning for not knowing better. For loving, to continue loving. You are not loved in return.

You do your best to help everyone you can regardless of species. You are special too, it turns out, and bring hope and peace to your people and to the humans, at least for a little while. And you try not to be dangerous. You want to be harmless and you never quite pull it off. You don’t tell anyone the whole truth, but the secrets aren’t enough to keep you safe forever.

You make friends and you don’t have long together. You think you must be bad luck, and you forgive your friend for leading you to your biggest fear. You have to confront it anyways, it’s not his fault. He’s cares about you, but it’s not his job to protect you.

You confront your brother. He destroys everything again and he uses you to hurt people. Again. Your people, humans, what could survive his greater good? You fight back, you win. Kind of. Maybe. A Pyrrhic victory. You are alone and the world hates you for the destruction you tried to prevent. They always do. Why are you the devil when you just want to help?

Thoughts on parallels between the scene where Phineas beats Sherman and where Imelda tortures weepe?

Jonas Spahr is there, and he's also not having a good day. 😔

So, I initially meant that as a joke about how I'm a huge fan of Jonas and will obnoxiously take any opportunity to talk about him. I do think there are many parallels and resonances between these scenes, and there is much to say about the four characters named and the central action of nearly killing someone for the sake of the Trust, but those angles are more obvious and more likely to be recognized by most. (And I'm willing to talk about some of those as well, if asked again. Or, if there's a specific aspect you'd like to hear about, let me know.)

In terms of my interests, it IS a pretty interesting point to be made: Jonas Spahr is there, watching. It's integral to both scenes that Spahr is a witness; he's even the ONLY witness in the Arca. His role as such is also explicitly recognized by the active character in each scene:

Since this is about the cabaret and Arca scenes specifically, I won't spin off into an entire commentary and analysis of Spahr's role as an observer and witness. For now, we'll have to content ourselves with the short version just for context, but I can go into it at a later time.

The heart of it is: thus far, his role in the narrative is a generally passive one that largely centers on watching and observing. It's the first thing he does as a player in this story. He steps back and watches how Phineas handles the Ginsberg situation, and the narrators remind us four separate times in 1.03: Mica:

Deeds of Valor—and Caenum, apparently—need to be witnessed, after all! Thing is, Spahr does a lot of watching but, until more recently, doesn't really SEE all that often. He is for a long time a passive, immovable, unreadable observer to events as the eyes of the Trust. He is that witness for much of events he's involved in, for better or (more likely) worse.

After Phineas attacks Sherman, Spahr himself is quick to identify this problem with himself in 2.02: Ascendancy, that he is watching and looking but he is, perhaps intentionally, not seeing and noticing:

The incident in the cabaret and the incident in the Arca are directly connected and bound together by Spahr as witness. Phineas attacking Sherman and Imelda torturing Weepe are moments that Spahr is truly seeing, bearing witness to events and comprehending them, their context, and their implications.

In both, he bears witness specifically to the damage that the Trust causes and the ways that it harms people inside and outside of it. Phineas and Imelda believe that Spahr will witness something else—Phineas hopes that Spahr will not be witnessing a failure where Imelda hopes that Spahr will be witnessing one—but what he is seeing instead is the raw brutality that the Trust and its systems and pressures naturally engender at their logical extremes. He immediately recognizes it to be a horror:

Spahr experiences a dread born of comprehension typically reserved for moments of understanding in eldritch horror. Sucks to be the guy whose role is to see things and you end up actually comprehending some of them! And comprehend them in these two scenes he does.

Spahr doesn't do a ton in terms of active action in either scene—the cabaret scene is notably set off by his mere presence, and he ultimately freezes in the Arca scene—but in each, he does ultimately move to attempt to stop what is happening. And, notably, he does so under his own power and motivation.

That said, he fails to prevent a significant amount of the damage. He moves fast enough to prevent Phineas from killing Sherman, but too late to prevent the harm done to Sherman and all the spiraling consequences of this. He is frozen into a paralysis by Imelda's threat, so he fails to follow through and stop her, stop the harm done to Weepe, and again stop the spiraling consequences from this.

Twice, once in each scene, he fails to meaningfully prevent the harm done here. He attempts to stop them when he is standing here in the room with them, but by then it's too late. ("Too little, too late," as Sherman will eventually say.)

Obviously, Spahr is not the sole bearer of responsibility in either incident. Phineas and Imelda have an immense amount to answer for there, and the system of the Trust itself created the conditions that one way or another pushes them and Spahr to do as they do. However, both are incidents that he in some way has allowed. He reflects on having not seen, or even ignored, the signs of what was brewing inside Phineas and what he was being pushed toward; he helps engineer this intervention and stands by while Imelda locks Weepe in the Arca, never asking enough questions.

He has allowed both to happen. When he begins to feel the emotional aftermath of each, in 2.02: Ascendancy and 2.17: Compensation, the narration of his internal monologue even uses that wording:

They're both critical scenes to Spahr's development as someone whose role is largely passive, both within the Trust systems and within the narrative. Just as much as he is to be seen, he is also very much here to see—and to refuse to see. To stand by as a passive witness to horrors and allow them, silent and impassive and watching. He can try to intervene, but he's already facilitated this.

He is coming to understand his part in this, in brutalities such as these, with horror. In the aftermath of the Arca incident, we see him increasingly discontent with his role in the Trust and desperately in search of ways to stop what he can. He is not yet successful, but his vision is very much clarifying. His arc turns around these scenes as paralleled experiences for him in his narrative, as moments that he witnesses, allows, and fails to stop against even his own belated efforts. These two scenes bookend his growing comprehension and self-reflection throughout season two.

Twice now, it's been asked of him: What are you refusing to see, Jonas? What horrors and brutalities are you allowing to happen? Will you always be intervening much too late?

Third time's a charm, perhaps.

Dear Żmija, do you know how to remove curses from objects? I swear whenever I wear my favourite earrings the day ends with me crying.

now, there are plenty of ways to rid an object of any evil that might reside within it - either by curse or bad luck, or a variety of other reasons - as this is the subject that folk magic predominantly deals with, and then as well one of my favourites. the three ideas I will list here are based on slavic magical customs - some modified when it comes to their complexity or scale, as we are talking about a small object here instead of a house, cow, or daughter - but do bear with me, as the issue itself deserves a bit more analysis than just a two-step instruction.

I assume 'the day ends with me crying' means that something bad happens other than just causing you to cry for no apparent reason - if that's wrong, please let me know and we can look at it from a different perspective.

first, why curse? curse assumes deliberation - do you believe there is someone who would want to harm you in such a way? or are the earrings themselves, for example, inherited from a family member or bought from someone and believed to carry some sort of residual curse within them? it's worth looking into this and especially into why you believe it might be a curse. sometimes those fears reside purely within ourselves, no curses necessary, and a careful examination of your own assumptions and worries yields the best results.

second, why are they your favourite? and does the fact that they are your favourite affect the frequency of you wearing them, or the occasions you choose to wear them for? if you wear them often, the chances of something going wrong are simply statistically higher. if you wear them for very important or stressful occasions, it only makes sense that you would be more susceptible to having a harder time with any possible, related failure. perhaps it's worth putting the earrings aside and carefully, as objectively as possible, examining the events that happen even without you wearing them.

and now, at last, if you would still like to do some good old magic, even if just to calm your mind and allow for further objective examination of the first two points, here are some of my favourite methods:

find in your vicinity whichever sambucus plant is native for your region - now, in slavic magic, this would usually be either sambucus ebulus (danewort) or sambucus nigra (elder). find a young flexible branch and without tearing it off or damaging it, bend it to make a loop. then, put your earrings through that loop three times - as they pass through, any widely understood evil will pass to the tree, and through its wild sacred roots back to the soil. and soil, sweetest mother, fears no curses and eats them up just as she will eat us up one day.

another method is to leave your earrings overnight in a fistful of grain, and then the next day take that grain and scatter it outside, where no people walk. the idea is both for the grain (one of the most sacred things we have, as the foundation of our nutrition and agriculture) to take the evil away, but also for the grain itself to be an offering to spirits (good or less so, depending on your own belief and situation regarding the curse) in the form of birds. where no people walk is important in the regard that someone stepping over that grain accidentally could transfer whatever evil to themselves, and that's just an unfortunate way to ruin someone's already bad monday. crucial! research the birds of your area and choose the grain itself carefully, so that you do not cause any harm to the animals and the environment.

and finally, you can also tie your earrings - the idea is that tying a knot on an object ties the evil within it as well. one way to do it is to use red thread - tie your earrings with it, make a knot, then remove the thread without untying it (you can unclasp the earrings, slide the thread off, whichever works, it doesn't have to be tied securely at all) and then burn the thread itself. otherwise, you can put your earrings in a piece of fabric and tie that bundle, and making sure the knot doesn't get undone, pull the earrings out (by cutting a hole in the bundle, for example). bonus points for sticking a needle into the fabric before you get them out.

best of luck, dearest stranger, and might you have no reason for tears any time soon.

/////Transmission Start///// CFRI OPSCOM N. LINDSBORG TO ALL OPERATION TOUCHDOWN SLDF AND ALLIED ELEMENTS: At 1526 hours local standard time, CFRI Angel Squadron performed an escort operation alongside a DropShip from @seafoxmathias delivering 'Mechs to in-field forces of @harwood-pmc-official. During this operation, COMSCAN detected a spike in ambient heat bearing southwest of the operational zone, and directed Angel Squadron on a pass-by course to check the area... Captain Molly Sanders was the wing lead of Angel Squadron. Had been for the better part of a decade, now- ever since Captain Raiken had that unfortunate engine failure. Captain Sanders was confident, assured, and in control- especially in the cockpit of her Sparrow, Angel-1.

Right now, though, she was none of those things.

The cockpit was alive with panic alarms- proximity warning for incoming Long Range Missiles, radar lock warnings, damage control warnings, and- most notably- the piercing whistle signifying her canopy had been breached by whatever the hell had taken potshots at Angel Squadron as they breached the horizon over the main road. Cursing wildly, she peered through the spiderwebbed ferroglass in front, trying desperately to assess whether her flight path was stable. The damage was impact- no molten airframe, no scorching heat filtering in through the damaged cockpit meant whatever had hit her wasn't an energy weapon. A world-shaking BOOM rocked the Sparrow in midair, sending the craft arcing through the sky away from the rest of the formation as Angel-6's bomb load detonated midair. The cloud of smoke and ash provided a reference point, and as she frantically righted the crippled aircraft, a blurry and fractured silhouette was visible below. Angel-4, unable to avoid both the debris from the bomber and the incoming autocannon fire, started coming apart piecemeal, blasts tearing great rents through the light armor of the fighter before it simply broke in two. A momentary flash of light, heat- not only visible but tactile even at this distance- lit the world like a thousand fireworks as an impossibly bright beam lanced up from below and simply erased Angel-2 and Angel-3. No explosion, no flame, just a streak of light and two puffs of smoke. Careening towards the ground, Molly frantically grabbed for the canopy breakaway lever, hauling with all her might, before the seals gave and the wind tore the structure from her aircraft. Blinking against afterimages, she banked, ejecting chaff, flares, and her reserve fuel tanks, desperate to outrun the incoming missiles. A last-minute ping from her craft's sensors sent a brief, surface-level analysis of the strange structures below that had turned her squad into a memory, before she joined them in oblivion.

The Bard of Time, In Brief(s)

Let’s be fair: the Bard gets a bad rap, and I’ve already expanded upon the Destroyer Classes a bit here, but today I want to dive into a specific Bard to show you just how many interpretations you can spin off of one Classpect. Remember: Sburb loves wordplay and irony when assigning Classpects, and the strongest associations of each half of your Title (outside of the established abilities of your Class and Aspect) are generally ones that inspire a particular turn of phrase. A Maid of Time who has a lot of time on her hands is, quite literally, “made of time.” Of course, Aradia already beat me to the punch with this joke, but it’s a good example of what I mean.

This speaks to me on a personal level, because after diving into what it could actually mean to be a Bard of Time, I think this might be the funniest, most self-referential Classpect I’ve ever identified with—which means it’s perfect. Naturally, since brevity is the soul of wit, I will be brief: I am a musician of no small talent with an impeccable sense of rhythm, as well as an amateur poet. Beyond that, I gave myself the middle name Taliesin after the timeless bard—Shakespeare wasn’t the first to hold that title—because I have an ego the size of Jupiter and I love the romance and drama of setting myself up with a legacy to fulfill. So, let’s take a deep dive into the Bard of Time, from both my personal perspectives and a more general analysis. To hell with brevity—on with the show!

On a surface level, the Bard of Time is “one who inspires the destruction of death, certainty, and Time itself.” However, we can expand this list ad nauseum by interpreting many different functions and associations of Time—but I’m getting ahead of myself. The two Bards we’ve seen in the comic start out with an unshakeable faith in something that shapes their personalities and worldviews. Now, this could simply be a function of the Aspects of Hope and Rage, which are represented by enduring faith and eviscerating doubt, respectively. We really only have two Bards to analyze, and their Aspects are direct opposites. Still, it’s something to consider. Bards are a Passive Class, and their interactions with their Aspect usually come in the form of inspiring the Aspect itself, or its destruction, in others. I truly believe that the word “inspire” is as crucial to understanding the Bard as “destroy,” and this also has many, many possible interpretations.

The Bard can be considered a Buff/Debuff Class, though this is a bit misleading. As we’ve seen with Gamzee in particular, the Bard can become deeply affected by the whims of their Aspect. Destroyer Classes seem to be spawned into sessions with far too much of their Aspect; unlike Rogues, their purpose is not to diffuse their Aspect to areas of low concentration, but rather to destroy it outright and make room for its opposite to reign. We see this very clearly with the Princes: Dirk was part of a session rife with romantic drama and one identity crisis after another, which would have prevented anything from getting done until he intervened. Eridan’s destruction of the Matriorb, the symbol of the session’s Hope, broke the trolls out of stagnant passivity and ultimately led to the joint creation of the new universe. Bards tend to have a more subtle effect on their sessions. Their influence ripples out in unpredictable ways that can be the catalyst for, in ironic Homestuck fashion, both the failure and success of a session.

The Bard of Time will be part of a session with far too much Time. This could indicate a lack of urgency in other players that leads to a cascade of unproductive and damaging choices, since there’s “plenty of time,” or it could mean that the Bard’s allies are far too wrapped up in the implications of fate and certainty, leaving them paralyzed by inaction or even determined to spend the session fucking around based on the assumption that they’re already Doomed. They may assume, incorrectly, that their Will has no bearing on the session, much like Aradia before her maturation arc. It’s helpful to note here that the Maid is the Active inverse of the Bard. The Maid begins as a subservient to their Aspect, and then grows to heal their relationship to it, culminating with the ability to create it for themselves. The Bard starts out heavily influenced by their Aspect’s opposite, and later inspires the destruction of the most negative relationships of their Aspect in others, and in their session at large.

In addition to correcting these broken relationships with Time, the Bard would also be well-equipped to invite the destruction of damaging patterns, which can range from unhealthy habits and addictions to karmic cycles spanning time and space. Perhaps they choose to get sober, and that choice ripples out and inspires others to do the same. (This has happened in my own life, and I’ve had at least half a dozen people reach out to tell me that speaking publicly about my sobriety encouraged them to break their addictions, too.) They may also invite the destruction of the “Doomed” label given to both individuals and broader Timelines, which could be extremely beneficial to others—but could also, in theory, lead to a Timeline cursed by everlasting stasis, like a terrifying form of limbo. Given enough power, they may even be able to invite the destruction of Death itself. I’ll leave this power’s implications, both awe-inspiring and horrifying, to you, dear reader.

“That is not dead which can eternal lie,

And with strange aeons even death may die.”

IndyCar makes top of the list safety fix after wheel clears barrier at Indy 500 | IndyCar

IndyCar has introduced a safety change to its cars after a wheel cleared a barrier following a crash at the Indianapolis 500 two months ago. The series’ chassis supplier Dallara is introducing an updated rear-wheel bearing retaining nut to all of the cars from this weekend’s Iowa double-header. The rear-left wheel was torn from Kyle Kirkwood’s car after he collided with Felix Rosenqvist during the race. The wheel flew over the fencing and the grandstands and landed in the circuit car park. Although no one was hurt by the wheel, it damaged a car belonging to a spectator. Dallara reviewed the crash and the wheel failure, and to prevent similar incidents has upgraded the rear-wheel bearing retaining. The strength of the new part “has increased by 60% over the previous design,” it says. Wheel tethers usually prevent detachments during crashes. But prior to Dallara’s investigation it had already determined Kirkwood’s wheel had not detached due to a failure of the tethering system. Reigning IndyCar champion Will Power said he was glad to see how quickly IndyCar had addressed the safety risk so swiftly. “It’s at the top of the list of importance that those wheels don’t go flying,” Power told media including RaceFans. Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free “They’ve done a great job in the past with the tethers. There was a big investigation into how that wheel came off and why. Sounds like the tether must have worked, but it must have actually pulled the wheel nut and the wheel bearing off the actual uprights. “It’s massively important, that stuff. Flying wheels, flying debris into big crowds is just all bad. We got lucky there that the wheel that came off ended up going through a gap and they were very quick to investigate and make a change so it will be safer.” The last fatality of an IndyCar driver during a race occured in 2015, when Justin Wilson was struck in the helmet by flying debris. In response to that the series added tethers to aerodynamic parts such as car noses and wings. “It is Dallara’s mission, along with IndyCar and all of the racing series we work with, to maintain and continuously improve safety based upon the highest standards,” said Dallara CEO Stefano dePonti. “After completing a detailed analysis of the accident during this year’s Indy 500, together with IndyCar we have reached the conclusion that the outcome was the consequence of an unusual and never experienced set of circumstances. “Nevertheless, we have developed and produced new components that will increase the strength of the corner in case the unlikely sequence of events repeats itself.” Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free IndyCar Browse all IndyCar articles via RaceFans - Independent Motorsport Coverage https://www.racefans.net/

Three signals your hard drive is failing and what to do

After just three years, the average hard drive's failure probability skyrockets. When the drive is exposed to varying temperatures, humidity, or external shocks, it may occur sooner. In reality, the hard disc in your laptop starts to fail after three to five years, and SSDs are no different. Do you feel anxious yet?

In the best-case scenario, hard drives degrade gradually, giving you time to save your data and replace them before they completely fail. But how will you actually know if your hard drive is failing? Let's look at some tips:

1. Slow computer performance, frequent freezing, and Blue Screen of Death

One of the causes of this triple PC collapse is a failing hard disc, which is just one of a million possible causes. In Windows Safe Mode or after a fresh installation, these issues are almost probably the result of defective hardware, maybe a failing hard drive.

You can use a variety of diagnostic tools to rule out a hard disc problem, but you should start by reviewing the S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) data on your system. You should be aware that although while Windows is continuously gathering this data in the background, it is notoriously bad at forecasting hard drive failure, and you can encounter a serious problem before an S.M.A.R.T. warning appears many business listings.

You'll need a third-party programme like CrystalDiskInfo to manually check the S.M.A.R.T. state of your drive. Select the disc to scan under Disk and make a note of the health of your disc.

After using additional diagnostic tools to rule out hardware problems, you should move to resetting or reinstalling your operating system. Windows 10 offers the option to save all of your files, but you should still create a backup just in case. For more information on backups, scroll down.

2. Corrupted Data

Numerous different ways might corrupted data manifest themselves? If you notice one of these signs consistently, your hard disc is likely slowly degrading:

File or folder names that are scrambled

When opening transferring, or saving files, unexpected errors may appear.

Documents that won't open

Data corruption in your files

Vanishing folders or files

When data is created or stored, corruption can occur. Your files could be being affected by a virus, but they could possibly just have corrupted sectors on your hard disc.

Hard drive sectors with bad data integrity are these locations. Bad sectors are automatically hidden by Windows, so you won't see them unless you experience data corruption problems. Bad sectors on a failing hard disc can build up quickly, increasing the frequency of these problems business listings.

You can recover data from damaged sectors and block them from being used again with the use of a Windows command tool called CHKDSK. To quickly scan:

1 - Press Windows + E to launch File Explorer, pick This PC, click the failed disc or partition, and then select Properties from the context menu.

2 - Click Check on the Tools tab of the Properties window. You can still select Scan drive to launch the application even if Windows says that "You don't need to scan this drive." You can decide whether to correct any faults it identified after it's finished.

A reboot is necessary after a longer, more complete CHKDSK scan. When you have a day and a night free to use your computer:

1 - Right-click Start and choose Command Prompt to launch an Administrator Command Prompt (Admin)

2 - To restore data and correct errors, issue the following command: chkdsk / r c: (for your C: drive).

3 - When prompted, respond with Y to perform CHKDSK after restarting your computer.

3. Unusual Noises

You're in trouble if your hard disc starts making odd noises. The head attempts to write data, fails, returns to its home place, and tries again, producing a recurrent noise known as the "click of death." When the hardware makes grinding or screaming noises, it is likely that the bearings or spindle motor are failing.

If you can still recover data from your hard disc at this stage, you're lucky.

My hard drive appears to be malfunctioning. How Do I Proceed?

Here's what you can do if you believe that a hard drive failure is approaching.

Step one - Back up your data

The greatest thing you can do is to always have backup copies of your data on a second drive and to be prepared to buy a replacement free business listings.

Two drives failing simultaneously are unlikely to occur. Natural calamities like fires or floods would be an exception. In these scenarios, we advise storing a copy of your most crucial information in a different physical location, such as your workplace, a relative, or a friend.

Another option is to utilise an online backup service like OneDrive or Google Drive. If you use Microsoft Office, you might want to consider switching to a Microsoft 365 subscription, which provides you the most recent version of Office plus 1TB of OneDrive storage, which may be sufficient to back up your entire computer to the cloud.

Step two - Replace the Drive

The principle behind MCSA is relatively straightforward. When a motor operates, it generates a unique electrical signal based on the interaction between the motor's electrical and mechanical components. This signal, or current signature, contains valuable information about the motor's health. Any changes in the motor's condition—such as the development of a fault—will cause subtle changes in the current signature.

MCSA systems use advanced sensors and data analysis algorithms to capture and interpret these changes. The data collected from the motor is compared against baseline measurements or expected patterns to identify anomalies. For instance, a broken rotor bar might cause specific harmonics to appear in the current signature, which can be detected and flagged for further investigation.

Benefits of MCSA for Predictive Maintenance

Early Fault Detection: MCSA's ability to detect faults early is one of its most significant benefits. Mechanical issues like bearing wear or rotor defects often develop gradually, and MCSA can identify these problems long before they cause noticeable performance degradation or failure. Early detection allows maintenance teams to address issues before they escalate, preventing costly damage and extending the life of the equipment.

Non-Invasive Monitoring: MCSA is a non-invasive diagnostic technique, meaning it doesn't require disassembling the motor or interrupting operations. The analysis can be performed while the motor is running, making it a convenient and efficient tool for regular monitoring. This non-intrusive nature also reduces the risk of introducing new issues during the inspection process.

Reduced Downtime: By catching potential failures before they occur, MCSA helps prevent unplanned downtime, which can be extremely costly in industrial settings. Scheduled maintenance based on MCSA data ensures that repairs are conducted during planned shutdowns, minimizing disruption to production.

Cost Savings: Unexpected equipment failures often result in emergency repairs, expedited part replacements, and lost production time—all of which can be expensive. MCSA helps avoid these costs by providing actionable insights that enable proactive maintenance. Additionally, the extended lifespan of equipment due to timely repairs can lead to significant cost savings over time.

Improved Safety: Faulty equipment can pose serious safety risks, especially in industries where heavy machinery is involved. MCSA helps mitigate these risks by ensuring that potential issues are addressed before they become hazardous. This contributes to a safer working environment for employees and reduces the likelihood of accidents.

Wire ropes are among the most used flexible mechanical elements for industrial lifting and load-bearing applications. However, they are also susceptible to various types of damage during use that can potentially lead to failure if not addressed properly. As critical load-bearing components, equipment owners and operators need to be aware of common wire rope issues to safely maximize their lifespan.

Reputable wire rope manufacturers list internal and external wear, corrosion, and broken wires as some of the most common forms of damage to wire ropes. When the wires are in use and rub against sheaves, drums, and other surfaces, external wear usually results. The protective outer strands of the wires are gradually eroded over time by this abrasive contact.

When the wires in a rope repeatedly flex, they grind against one another, causing internal wear to the rope's internal structure. When wires meet extreme weather, oxidation occurs, weakening the metal and leading to corrosion. Fractures of individual wires result from stress concentrations.

The main causes of this damage are overloading, misuse, adverse environmental exposures, and lack of proper inspection and maintenance. Overloading subjects ropes to stresses beyond their designed capacity, accelerating fatigue damage. Misuses include improper installation, drum diameters that are too small, excessive side loading, and other abusive applications. Harsh or corrosive environments like chemical industries, mining, and marine operations can accelerate corrosion. Neglecting regular inspections means damage may not be caught early enough for repairs or re-rope decisions. Ropes removed from service prematurely due to lack of care pose safety risks.

For equipment owners, the costs of unplanned wire rope failures, downtime, and replacement can far outweigh proper maintenance expenses over the long run. Working closely with a reputable wire rope manufacturer or supplier is key to maximizing rope service life. Experienced professionals can advise on rope specifications, installation, inspection criteria, and replacement schedules tailored to each application. They also offer remnant analysis for ropes removed from use; to help pinpoint root causes of issues so operators can take corrective actions.

In some cases, supplemental protection methods may be worthwhile. Fiber or plastic rope covers inhibit external wear. Greases and preservatives ward off corrosion, especially for submerged lifts. Operators should also be trained to minimize side loads, avoid sudden shock loads, and properly stow ropes when not in use. With the right maintenance program in place utilizing guidance from wire rope experts, equipment owners can avoid unexpected downtime and expenses due to premature wire rope failure. By maximizing the full-service life of high-quality ropes, operations benefit from increased safety, productivity, and lower total cost of ownership.

A proper understanding of common wire rope damage types and causes of failure is important for keeping critical lifting and load-bearing applications running safely and cost-effectively. Working closely with an experienced wire rope supplier provides the expertise needed to implement customized inspection and maintenance programs tailored for each operation.
