#Concrete Mixing Machines and Tools

[chericos]

SHUT UP AND DRIVE CHAPTER ONE: gear up

masterlist. || 2.2k

The scent of gasoline filled the garage. Sunlight streams through the oversized glass doors, pooling onto the polished concrete floor and glinting off the sleek frame of your car. Your pride and joy—a beast of a machine with a matte black finish and deep pink accents—sits waiting for your attention. Tools are scattered across the workbench nearby, a chaotic mix of wrenches, sockets, and screwdrivers, each coated in a fine sheen of oil.  

Hunched over the open engine bay, you work with the kind of precision that comes from both necessity and obsession. Your hands move deftly, tightening a bolt here, testing the throttle there. The faint purr of the engine vibrates through your chest, grounding you in the present for the first time in weeks. For a fleeting moment, excitement stirs in you. It’s familiar. Comforting.  

The peace doesn’t last.  

“You know, hiding in the garage isn’t going to fix everything.”  

The sharp voice startles you, and you glance toward the open doorway. Utahime stands there, clipboard in hand and exasperation etched across her face. Her sharp, professional outfit—a deep navy blazer and pinstripe slacks combo—looks wildly out of place against the gritty backdrop of the garage.  

Without looking up from your work, you twist the wrench tighter and mutter, “I’m not hiding. I’m working.”  

Utahime steps inside, her heels clicking softly against the concrete. “Hiding. Working. Same thing at this point,” she says, her tone dry. “You haven’t been to a single event since the... incident.”  

The word makes you freeze, it barely lasts a second, but it was just long enough for her to notice. Gritting your teeth, you keep your focus on the engine. “Can we not call it that? It’s not Voldemort.”  

“Fine,” she snaps, crossing her arms. “What do you want me to call it? The breakup heard ’round the racing world? The reason you’re trending on Twitter every other day? Because that’s what it is to everyone else.”  

Setting your wrench down with a clang, you finally meet her gaze. “I’ll show up. I always do.”  

“Oh, really?” she says, arching a brow. “Because last I checked, showing up means more than tinkering with your car like it’s a safety blanket.”  

“It’s called preparation,” you counter, the bite in your voice sharper than you intended.  

“Preparation for what?” Utahime throws her hands up in exasperation. “To stay in here forever?” Her tone softens as she lets out a sigh, but the frustration lingers. “You’ve been cooped up here for weeks. You can’t half-ass this season like last time. Le Mans isn’t just a race; it’s the race. No more late-night runs for thrills, no more headlines about your ‘personal life.’ Focus.” Racing isn’t just about the car. It’s about you. Your mindset, your presence. And right now, the scouts for Le Mans are seeing someone who’s gone completely radio silent.”  

You groaned, reaching for the rag to wipe your hands, avoiding her piercing gaze. “I am focused. Just because I’m not making dramatic speeches about it doesn’t mean I’m slacking off. And just because I’m not broadcasting my every move doesn't mean I’m “radio silent,” 

Utahime arched a skeptical brow, glancing over her clipboard. “First qualifiers are next weekend. Maki’s already clocked two practice runs, and Nobara’s been studying every corner of the Le Mans track like it’s her SAT. Meanwhile, you’ve been—what? Fixing your car?”  

“Hey, Camie is more than a car. She’s a masterpiece, and now she’s offended. We’re focused, stop worrying.”

“Focused,” Utahime repeated, her skepticism dripping from her voice. “Focused would mean you’re out on the track, working on your times, not holed up in your fortress of solitude.  

“Maybe I like my solitude,” you mutter, tossing the rag onto the workbench, a pout making its way onto your face.  

“And maybe it’s not doing you any favors,” she fires back. “Look, I get it. The whole thing with Megumi—”  

“Don’t.” Your tone is sharp, cutting her off mid-sentence. The room feels heavier now, the words hanging unspoken between you. “This isn’t about him.”  

Utahime’s expression softens, but she doesn’t back down. “Whether you want it to be or not, everyone else has made it about him. About you and him. If you don’t remind them why you’re you, you’re going to lose control of the narrative. And worse? You’re going to lose that Le Mans spot to him.”  

Now that… that hit. You clench your jaw, glaring down at the open hood of your car as if it might offer some magical solution.  

“I’m not going to lose to him,” you finally say, your voice low but firm.  

“Then prove it,” Utahime challenges, stepping closer. “Because Megumi’s out there training like his life depends on it. He’s not distracted by social media, drama, or whatever it is you’re doing in here. He’s racing. And you? You’re stalling.”  

Her words sting more than you care to admit, and for a moment, silence blankets the garage. The hum of the engine seems distant now, overshadowed by the weight of her honesty.  

Finally, you sigh and slam the hood of your car shut. “Fine. I’ll hit the simulators later. Happy?”  

“Ecstatic,” she deadpans, though there’s the faintest hint of relief in her expression. “But don’t just hit the simulators. Go upstairs. Talk to your team. They’ve been trying to drag you out of this funk for weeks.”  

You smirk faintly at her choice of words. “I don’t do funks.”  

“Call it whatever you want.” She gives you one last pointed look before turning to leave. “Just show up. That’s all I’m asking.”  

As her footsteps fade, the silence of the garage settles in once again. The car gleams under the sunlight, a testament to your meticulous care—but it isn’t enough. Utahime’s right. Racing isn’t just about the car.  

Grabbing your (empty) water bottle, you take a deep breath and head toward the house. It’s time to face the world, whether you like it or not. And you were going to show them that you’re better than ever.

You push open the door to your house, stepping into the chaos you call home. The sharp scent of motor oil clings faintly to your jacket, but it’s quickly replaced by the clean, crisp scent of the indoors. The foyer opens up into a spacious living area with polished marble floors that gleam in the soft sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The stark white walls are adorned with framed posters of old racing events, rock concerts, and abstract art, all splashed with animal prints and neon pink. At the center of the room sits a large black leather couch, adorned with a fluffy pink throw blanket draped over one arm and mismatched pillows shaped like skulls and roses.

The coffee table is littered with evidence of your late-night antics—half-empty energy drinks, stray playing cards, and a small stack of glossy magazines featuring you and your teammates in various articles. In the corner, a tall, potted snake plant struggles to survive, its leaves curling as though begging for more attentive care.

The open-concept kitchen flows seamlessly into the living room, with gleaming black marble countertops and pendant lights hanging from above, their matte black and tarnished gold fixtures adding a touch of flair. A pink neon sign reading "Eat Fast, Drive Faster" hangs over the stove, casting a soft glow across the room. The place is clean—for now—but the faint smell of burnt toast lingers, evidence of Nobara’s recent cooking attempt.

The grunge charm extends to the little details: a shelf near the staircase crammed with trophies and medals, the pride of the team, and a mishmash of knick-knacks—a chipped pink skull figurine, a tiny replica of your car, and a Polaroid of the team from your first big win, framed in black. 

As you step further into the house, the faint thrum of bass from Nobara’s room upstairs mixes with the sound of simulated engines roaring from the game room. Somewhere, Panda’s deep laugh echoes, followed by the unmistakable crash of something heavy hitting the floor.

“Who broke something this time?” you call out, kicking off your boots by the door and hanging your jacket on the hook labeled ‘Speed Demon’—a label you swear you didn’t put up.

In the kitchen, Maki is sitting at the counter, sharpening one of her knives with a whetstone. She glances up as you walk in, her expression as sharp as the blade in her hands. “Just your ego, probably,” she says with a smirk.

“Still babying that car of yours?” she teased as you walked in.  

“Better than babying a weapon collection,” you shot back, grabbing a water bottle from the fridge. “What’s the deal with the knives anyway? Planning on taking out the competition?”  

“Just prepared for anything,” Maki said with a smirk. “You could learn a thing or two about that.”  

You smirk, walking away from the fridge. “You’re hilarious. Keep working on that. Maybe one day you’ll have fans like mine.”

“I don’t think I want any of those. I’ve got a blade and a flawless record.”

“Good for you, Miss Terminator,” you shoot back before making your way to the living room. It’s alive with energy, the heart of your chaotic little universe. You settle onto the black leather couch, its cold surface softened by the worn-in comfort of the pink throw blanket and a plush skull pillow you hug to your chest. Nobara is sprawled across the opposite end of the couch, her legs dangling lazily over the armrest as she scrolls through Twitter. Panda is cross-legged on the shaggy pink rug, fiddling with a miniature die-cast model of your car, occasionally making it "zoom" across the table to annoy Nobara.

Maki—finally leaving the kitchen—has claimed the pink velvet armchair in the corner, her posture rigid and imposing as she continues sharpening her knife. 

“Did you see what people are saying about you and Megumi?” Nobara says, looking up from her phone with a grin. “Twitter’s on fire about you two. Apparently, someone spotted him at the circuit yesterday, and now everyone’s debating who fumbled who again.”

You groan, sinking deeper into the couch. “Can we not? I’m tired of hearing about him.”

“Oh, come on!” Nobara teases, tossing her phone onto the coffee table. “You have to care a little. The people want to know: did you dump him because he couldn’t handle your vibe, or did he dump you because he realized he peaked?”

Panda snorts his laugh so loud it startles Maki, who glares at him. “I’m Team Megumi fumbled,” Panda announces, raising his hand (paw) like it's a vote. “The guy’s too moody to handle someone like you. You’re all speed and chaos. He’s... whatever the opposite of fun is.”

“Broody?” Nobara suggests.

“Exactly.”

You roll your eyes but can’t help the small smile tugging at your lips. “Thanks for the support, Panda. Super helpful. It’s totally not like you know the whole situation firsthand.”

“But,” Panda adds with a mischievous grin, “you did ghost him at that after-party last year. So maybe it’s mutual fumbling?”

“That party doesn’t count,” you retort, throwing the skull pillow at him. “I had better things to do than listen to him complain in the corner all night.”

“Like what?” Nobara smirks, dodging the pillow Panda tossed her way.

“Win a race, maybe?” you reply. “Something he didn’t do that night, by the way.”

Maki lets out a sharp laugh from her chair, finally looking up from her knife. “You’re all idiots. Who cares about whatever high Twitter wants to get off on? Just get over it and focus on the qualifiers.”

“Thank you, Maki, the only voice of reason,” you say, raising your water bottle in a mock toast.

“Don’t thank me yet,” Maki responds. “You’ve barely touched the simulators, and from what I hear, Megumi’s been practically living at the circuit. If you don’t get serious, he’ll wipe the floor with you.”

The room goes quiet for a moment, the only sound is the faint bassline of Nobara’s playlist drifting from the speaker.

“I’m not worried about Megumi,” you say finally, your voice steady. “He can train all he wants. I’m still faster.”

Nobara raises an eyebrow but doesn’t push further. Instead, she leans back, stretching her arms over her head. “Alright, enough yapping. Let’s hit the simulators. If we’re serious about this season, we need to start acting like it. And Y/n, if you’re not on that track tomorrow, I’m dragging you there myself.”  

You give her a halfhearted grin. “Yes, ma’am.” 

“I’m calling dibs on the first run.”

“Dream on,” you say, standing up and tossing the skull pillow back onto the couch. “If anyone’s going first, it’s me.”

“Oh, so now you’re serious?” Nobara teases, following you toward the stairs.

“Always was,” you shoot back with a smirk.

The energy shifts as the team heads upstairs to the simulator room. The playful banter fades and it's replaced by the sharp focus that comes with a race. Even with the change in vibe, the camaraderie is there—an unspoken reminder that, no matter what happens on the track, you’ve got each other’s backs. There’s only one thing left to do.

It’s time to gear up.

break room!

I still suck at dialogue... but there is SLIGHT improvement (I think)

anyway! the break room is just gonna be the teams' hobbies!

maki has a knife collection, she guards them like they're hr birthed children. no one knows what she uses them for...

nobara runs a youtube channel, she mainly does blogs around the house but sometimes she streams game nights

panda has an insane amount of pokemon cards. he has pushed people on the streets while trying to find them on pokemon go (yes this is based on one of my friends)

megumi was definitely only at the circuit trying to get over it

get ready to turn on the ignition

The garage was a chaotic blend of buzzing machinery and scattered tools. In the corner stood the "HUMAN MAKER 3000," recently used by Morty to create his own girlfriend. Rick staggered through the cluttered space, frustration boiling over as he glared at the machine. “Ugh, typical Morty,” he grumbled, taking a swig from his flask. “Can’t even conjure up a decent girlfriend without screwing it up.”

Leaning heavily against the workbench, Rick felt the alcohol warming him from the inside. After a few more swigs, he decided to take the plunge himself. “What if I made… a companion?” he slurred, a devilish grin spreading across his face. “Someone to help me with this mess!”

With determination fueled by liquor, he stumbled toward the machine, fingers clumsily pressing buttons with reckless abandon. The machine hummed and whirred, lights flashing in chaotic patterns. Just as he leaned in to observe, his hand slipped, sending his tequila bottle crashing to the floor. “Crap!” he shouted, collapsing into a heap on the cold concrete.

Hours later, the machine completed its work, and the lights dimmed as the door slid open with a hiss. You stepped out, feeling an unfamiliar sense of awareness. The garage was filled with strange devices, and your instincts drove you to explore. But first, you noticed a figure sprawled out on the floor.

“Hey… are you okay?” you murmured, kneeling beside him. Your voice was soft, laced with concern. You shook him lightly, but he only groaned, shifting slightly.

With a sense of urgency, you hoisted him up and carried him to the sofa in the living room. The warmth of his body felt strange and comforting, an instinct pulling you to take care of him. You laid him down gently, brushing a stray hair from his face, and took a moment to assess the chaos surrounding you.

Compelled by an instinct you couldn’t quite place, you began to tidy up the clutter, putting tools back in their places and tossing aside the remnants of his late-night escapades. The smell of alcohol hung heavily in the air, and you wrinkled your nose at the sight of empty bottles. Leaving everything in disarray felt wrong.

As you cleaned, a mix of curiosity and concern swirled within you. You didn’t know who this man was or why you felt so compelled to help him, but it felt natural. Each action, each tidying movement, was instinctive—like you were meant to be here, meant to care for him.

Once you finished, you returned to the living room, glancing down at the man who had created you. He was still asleep, but his brow furrowed, and he mumbled incoherently. “Morty! I said no more pickle juice!” he shouted in his sleep, his face twisting into a grimace.

You couldn't help but chuckle softly at his antics, finding the absurdity of the situation oddly endearing. This man was in a state of vulnerability, completely oblivious to your presence, yet you felt drawn to him.

Just then, you heard a sound—a low groan escaping his lips. You leaned in closer, your heart racing. Would he be angry, confused, or perhaps surprised to find you here?

As the seconds ticked by, you felt a strange thrill in the air. Something about him ignited a sense of connection you couldn’t explain. You wondered how he would react when he finally woke up to find you—his unexpected creation—taking care of him.

Author's Note: Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this exploration of Rick’s character and the unique dynamic with his creation. If you have any thoughts or requests for more stories, feel free to share!

A Warm Night

Just a self indulgent, prompt inspired, late night, coffee fueled Rick Sanchez one-shot.

❁Prompt❁ - "Unspoken Feelings", "Brief Physical Contact", "I Love You Without Saying It"

⚠︎Warnings⚠︎ - None! xo (Gender Neutral, No Pronouns, No Physical Description) (Angst if you squint? Fluff for a mentally ill audience)

It wasn't cold. Even sitting on the metal washing machine, your legs weren't cold. The garage door was open and the stagnant air of the summer was mixing in the laundry and science related smells of the garage. It was an odd mix and it was more humid than you would've liked but you weren't complaining. You felt warm.

The cracks in the concrete that was the driveway had caught your attention a few minutes ago. At first you were counting them, occasionally adjusting your legs to move your thighs to a cooler part of the washing machines top. Now you were following them with your eyes, examining the connections. Seeing if maybe you could follow the cracks from one end of the driveway to the other without breaking. About four feet away from hitting your imaginary finish line, your attention was pulled away to Rick.

The sound of a screwdriver being tossed to the side made you turn your head. Lab coat cast aside hours ago when he'd settled in to his work, he was experimenting on a new weapon or maybe tinkering an old tool, you weren't actually sure. Rick Sanchez, the smart man in the universe. In every universe. You supposed you should feel small next to him but you only felt like yourself. He'd never made you feel like anything less despite his word choice or reputation. Knowing of Rick was far from rare regardless of where you'd come from in the universe and knowing him in person wasn't even really rare either. Many living creatures had met him. Many had come and gone. However, managing to be a regular character in his life was no easy feat, not that you had done it on purpose. He'd blown his way into your life and you'd faded into his. You weren't sure you'd remain though. Rick was Rick, so knowing whether or not he even wanted you around was an impossible question...and even if he did, someday, no telling how soon, one of you would leave. Maybe not on purpose but it would happen. There was just no use in getting invested.

Which is why you're fighting your brain so hard to take your eyes off him. To take your eyes off the way his shoulders moved and flexed to gain leverage over the various parts of his invention. You scolded your brain even more when you leaned back to get a better view of his hands. Careful and clever. Catastrophic and careless. They were resting on the counter now, as he leaned over his device. Your eyes trailed away from his hands and up his arm, to his pushed up sleeves, all the way to the back of his neck, and then to his hair. You wanted to touch it. To touch him. To help, take away the tension, alleviate the pain. You'd thought of this before. Never out of pity but you couldn't pretend they weren't selfish thoughts. You weren't sure if you were so eager to be useful because you liked him or liked how he made you feel. It was probably both. You liked the way he made you feel because you liked him.

Rick straightened his back, turning before you could realize. He was looking to a box of tools on the shelf opposite him in the garage, his eyes briefly meeting yours as he turned, before looking to the box. Suddenly you felt a bit short of breath. You were going to pretend you hadn't been looking at him but you couldn't react quick enough before he doubled back to make eye contact with you. Your face felt warm and you were all to aware of how your thighs stuck to the washing machine in the humid air. He hadn't said anything yet but you were already working out how to change the topic of a conversation that hadn't even started. Promptly breaking the eye contact and looking to the device on the counter, you sucked in a breath and broke the silence that had settled since he'd stopped working,

"Did you need a different tool?"

Rick responded with a noise of confirmation before taking his eyes off you and moving a step towards his discarded coat to find his flask. You thought for a moment, deciding to work against your better judgement and try and be helpful to a man who needed no help. Getting up for the first time since you'd sat a few hours earlier, you moved towards the storage shelf of the garage and reached up to pull out the box of science junk Rick had look at just a moment ago. Hearing him take a swig from his flask as you balance the box in your grip, you turned towards him, box in hand, and walked back to his side of the garage holding it out towards him. Having been looking down into the box at the various trinkets to avoid his look, you were surprised to be meeting his eyes when you did look up.

"Is um..."

You did your best to smile at him without making him feel opposed to about your participation in his project.

"Is what you need in here?"

You lifted the box a little and angled it toward him. He looked from you, to into the box and shuffled a bit closer while moving his hands to start searching through the items in the box. The proximity of your position to him made you feel confused. It was warm. It felt to normal. To safe. Comfortable enough to make you want more. Which made it feel wrong. You shouldn't be doing this to yourself. You knew that. It felt sad. Why didn't you just hand the box to him. You could've set it on the counter. He jerked the box towards himself to dig more and in turn, pulled you maybe an inch closer and suddenly it didn't matter. You could be across the room and still feel warm. You would still feel him. Whether Rick wanted to or not, he'd carved out a place for himself in your heart and regardless of how close he was or where he was in the room, maybe even where he was in the galaxy, you'd feel warm if it was him.

"It's not here...it should be. Fucking Morty digging through my shit..."

He continued to grumble as he, in a fluid motion, picked the box out of your hands and moved around you to roughly push it back on a random place on the shelf. It was a bit disappointing after all the overthinking you'd put into trying to be useful, and you felt your determination to be helpful slipping as you folded your arms and looked back to the unfinished device. Maybe Rick had noticed since he interrupted your train of thought as he sighed,

"It's fine..."

Rick readjusted his sleeves and pushed them back above his elbows.

"Don't need to have it, just would've made this shit quicker."

He rubbed his eyes while moving back towards the work bench to continue his project without the preferred tools. You shuffled after him, coming to stand next to him at the counter to inspect the device. Leaning closer and over the counter to examine the various parts of it while Rick began picking it back up, one of your feet hit something under the cabinet. You took a step back and got on your knees to peek under it. Normally, you'd squat down and pull whatever it was out from under the cabinet blindly, but in Rick's garage? not a safe bet. So you decided to look before you grabbed. It looked like another random science gadget that you couldn't possibly recognize the use for. Choosing to take the risk and assume the item was safe to grab, you took it out from under the cabinet. Thoughtlessly, you set your hand on Rick's shoulder while examining the tool in your other hand,

"You been missing this? It was under the cabinet..."

You trailed off on the sentence, turning to look at him, holding out the tool. His brows scrunched together and he gave a small breathy laugh before he replied,

"I might've been."

He turned to grab it and your hand on his shoulder trailed down to hold his upper arm. He immediately put tool to use on his project and it dawned on you that this was what he was looking for. You lit up excitedly and squeezed his arm,

"Oh! I'm glad I was able to help."

As soon as the words left your mouth, your hand froze and your smile fell. Rick didn't need help. He didn't want help. Certainly didn't need it from you, or anyone else. He'd made that clear at least once every time you'd heard him speak. Now, you braced yourself for Rick to shrug you off and respond with alcohol fueled vulgarity. For all you effort to be discarded. This was good. It was better like this, with all the walls. The walls kept you both safe. You waited for the words to come.

He spoke and you remained rigid. He spoke, but it was softer than you'd ever heard him. He wasn't looking at you and you almost could've missed it,

"Thank you."

...

Your brain lit up like a firework. You were so eager to draw another praise from him, but this could be enough. It was more than enough. You knew better than to offer any type of "You're welcome" so you settled with another squeeze of his arm before gently moving away.

The smile never left your face as you sat on the far end of the counter, much closer than the washing machine was, and began to count the wrinkles in Rick's shirt.

You'd found what you were looking for tonight too.

AN: Hi!! This is literally my first ever fanfic to leave my drafts :> tysm 4 reading!! No beta reader and its 4am so forgive my mistakes -Basil xoxo

[lesbianholster]

So there's one big question nagging at me throughout my foray into leftist theory, and it's one of the big things holding me back from actually being an anarchist—medicine. As a chronically ill woman who needs specialized anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant medication to digest food painlessly, have any energy, and keep my colorectal cancer risk down, the only concrete answer I've been able to find is herbalism—which, lol no I'm not treating my Crohn's with tumeric when evidence-based medicine exists.

I'm genuinely curious, so if you're an anarchist, please let me know if you have non-anprim answers to these questions and further reading (or if you're a Marxist, because honestly you guys are voices of reason sometimes), and keep in mind that you are not convincing someone who thinks capitalism holds the answers, but someone who thinks that regulatory bodies and a socialist state hold the answers.

In an anarchist, decentralized, stateless society:

How can I guarantee that the doctor mixing my infusion and the nurse administering it are qualified to do so?

How can I guarantee that the specialized antibodies going into my body are the correct ones at the correct concentration, without contamination by other medications or harmful pathogens?

How can I guarantee that the other medications I receive during treatment (Tylenol, Benadryl, and Solu-Medrol) contain the correct compounds at the correct concentrations, without contamination?

How can I guarantee that the IV pump infusing me at a constant rate is manufactured correctly in a clean environment and is still operational when I'm attached to it?

How can I guarantee that the gloves, gauze, alcohol swabs, etc. used by the nurse are manufactured correctly in a clean and sterile environment?

How can I guarantee that the bag and tubing holding my infusion is manufactured correctly in a clean and sterile environment?

How can I guarantee that the needle and catheter going into my body are manufactured correctly in a clean and sterile environment?

If I do develop a site infection, how can I guarantee that any antibiotics I take are the correct ones at the correct dosage, matched correctly to my specific infection at the right length to fight it without breeding resistance?

How do we source the metals, plastic, fibers, rubber, glass, and organic compounds needed along these steps in an ethical way? If it's impossible for some more complicated aspects such as pump machines, how do we ensure I nevertheless get infused at the right rate that isn't too quickly?

I haven't even brought up blood pressure cuffs or pulse oximeters, nor discussed other areas of treatment such as colonoscopies and the web of steps contained therein (prep medications that work without contamination, sedation medications that work without killing, a larger qualified staff of doctors and nurses before, during, and after the procedure, the scope and biopsy tools being made correctly), but suffice it to say, I have the same questions there.

[sleepydeepydo]

what to do if you've just done berzodiazepines (depressants/sedatives) and don't know what to do

trigger warning: explicit discussion of dr*gs, addiction, and overdose.

[ disclaimer: i am not a doctor, medical professional, expert or scientist in medicine. this guide exists only for guided advice on minor, non-fatal concerns. contact medical professionals if you are in any serious danger. ]

this is a judgement free-zone, and while I do not encourage substance abuse, if you are struggling with such i would like to offer my best advice for your safety in a space you may not find much honest guidance in.

if you have just consumed depressants or sedatives (i.e. Xanax, Valium) [in a manner you were not medically prescribed], i recommend the following to best prevent risk:

breathing

one concern when doing drugs like Xanax is that they can slow your breathing which can cause riskier conditions of accidents like suffocation or choking.

make sure you are in a safe space where you have plenty of open and easy room for breathing. you may become sleepy from this kind of drug, so it's also best you avoid being in spaces where you could easy fall or be injured when asleep, like a concrete floor. try to find yourself a comfortable and open position, such as lying on your side on a bed without pillows or blankets on top of your face.

if you are able to, try simple breathing exercises to keep conscious focus on your breathing.

eating + hydrating

drinking lots of water after taking drugs of any kind is very helpful. however, do NOT drink caffeine or alcohol: stick to water.

if you're on an empty stomach, eating may help your body maintain stability and can prevent the drug from having a more intense effect. carbs are good for this (i'll eat bread), but make sure to chew your food thoroughly and hydrate excessively to avoid the risk of choking.

snorting

IF you have taken the drugs through the method of snorting:

clean out your nose by snorting a few drops of clean water to get rid of any residue. inhale deeply several times afterwards for the same purpose.

only do this if you HAVE snorted the drug. if you have taken it another way, this is not necessary.

do not share snorting supplies with anyone else, and safely dispose of any material you've used to snort the drug.

what to avoid

after taking any amount of non-prescribed benzodiazepines, do NOT:

- drive (any vehicle, even non-machine operated ones.)

- use hot machinery like the oven, stove, or microwave

- put yourself in any position of physical labor (such as walking in the street, doing house work like laundry or cleaning)

- participate in any activity involving tools or chemicals (such as needles, hammers, knives, scissors, liquids, glass, cleaning supplies, exercise equipment - even pens or small objects - which is to say avoid your usual hobbies, instead relax.)

- taking ANY other drug or intoxicant of any amount. (this is the most dangerous risk as mixing drugs can easily be fatal.)

recognise overdose

the following signs should be taken note of as signs of a potential overdose, in yourself or someone else:

- loss/shift in any amount of conciseness

- impaired motor skills (such as the inability to use your hands, turn your neck, any movement you otherwise are able-bodied in.)

- inability to walk, stand, or sit up

- slower or reduced reflexes (such as delayed or missing reaction to heat, physical injury, or inability to move away from falling objects)

IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE OVERDOSED:

contact medical professionals or emergency services. if you show any signs of fatal risk (death), contact 911 immediately.

It has high tensile strength and has a lower cost, and as a reason, it is used in many buildings, tools, ships, infrastructure, ships, trains, cars, machines, weapons, electrical appliances. The base metal of steel is iron.

Steel can either be machined, moulded or combined with other materials and can be formed into any kind of item imaginable. In construction, steel is a vital element and is available in the forms of tubes, roofs, wires, sheets, etc.

Why is it necessary to get the weight of steel?

In the construction industry, steel is generally priced per unit weight like other raw materials such as sand and concrete.

Steel is available in various shapes and sizes, and pricing steel per unit would mean stable pricing throughout the market. This pricing method is why it is important to know the weight of steel generally.

Knowing the total weight of steel is also necessary as it helps during the time of transport. Buying steel in bulk lowers the cost of any material, so if we know the weight of the total weight of the steel, we can decide how much quantity could be carried at a time, thus saving some money.
