QMS stands for Quality Management System.

EMS stands for Environmental Management System.

OHSMS stands for Occupational Health and Safety Management System.

ISMS stands for Information Security Management System.

BCMS stands for Business Continuity Management System.

Other systems, such as energy management and food safety, could be affected.

Hashtag /definitely/ helped Bee do a bit of research for his lil presentation. I know I used the internet to figure out the framework lmao

It's funny when you look up "what defines a good person" the ai kinda gives you a little list with fraggin suggestions of praise to give a good person. Then if you look up "What defines a bad person", it gives you like, factors for it and a list for signs of a toxic relationship and a couple hotline links. Oddly wholesome from google ngl

Also can glimpse a bit of depresso expresso Star. Mah dude has dealt with so much scrap that having a bit of an "im so done with this" scrap attitude be lingering

Chapter 10: Bee's Good Guy Crash Course

Starscream had found himself upon the floor in the odd room the Malto’s put together. He wasn’t about to trust that questionable berth. Splayed out with his wings against the cool stone, where no hidden restraints could pop out at him, was preferable. He’d made sure to check. 

Starscream had just spent the last groon or so picking apart every centihic of the place, in fact. No cameras in the posters, or that ugly lamp. Nothing amiss with the storage underneath the berth. The pillows as they’d been called still looked suspicious, but he hadn’t been able to prove how yet. The doorframe definitely harbored a means to seal him inside at their leisure, he just needed to make certain not to aggravate them to such a point. Prove that he could stay put voluntarily.

Starscream stared up at the fake little stars in thought. Could those possibly conceal turrets like those implemented by G.H.O.S.T.? They were rather small, but so were the humans, and their weaponry. He had tested one, and it seemed innocent enough, but that did not speak for all of them. The bots, nor the Malto’s, would trust leaving him alone in their little bunker without some insurance. They had to have some form of security. Even if it did only look like a ridiculous clubhouse for sparklings. 

His wing twitched as he felt the distinct vibrations of pedsteps through the floor. That was far more trustworthy than his audials which seemed to be constantly glitchy as of late. But whose were they? As they rhythmically made their way towards him, he calculated the pace of the stride with the weight. It was Bumblebee.

“Why are you on the floor?” The bug gestured a servo to him with an air of judgment.

Starscream remained silent for a moment as he glanced over at the mech, “What do you want?”

Bumblebee’s optical lids and doors dropped in annoyance, then he straightened with a slight roll of his helm. “Weeell, we had our time to get situated. So now, I thought–since the kids are either occupied with school or going out to find new cave springs–I could get you started on your good guy training! As I’m sure the Terrans could tell you, I’m a great teacher. And I put together a lecture on the dos and don’t of not being a garbage person!”

“Lucky me.” Starscream said sarcastically with a toss of his servo which promptly flopped back down with a thunk. Did he really have to listen to this scout?

Bumblebee groaned and stepped closer to stand over the seeker with his servos on his hips. “So get up! I’m not rolling my whiteboard in here for you.”

Starscream glared at him before pushing himself onto his peds with his own little noise of complaint. Allowing himself to be commanded by this bug was insulting. Yet there seemed no avoiding it given the circumstances, and at least it was something to do.

“Thank you.” The bug stated flatly as he turned to lead the way toward whatever annoying presentation he had planned.

A crate was pulled out in front of the aptly named “whiteboard”, which the bug told Starscream to take his seat in. One side of the board was labeled “pillars of being a good person”; Empathy, Consideration, Accountability, Prudence, Temperance, Justice, Fortitude. The rest was split into two sections detailing the aforementioned “dos and don’ts” in green versus red marker. 

Do: be kind, be patient, be understanding, be selfless, be compassionate, be respectful, be honest, be loyal, be helpful. 

Don’t: be rude, be selfish, be aggressive, be greedy, be spiteful, be insensitive, plot against your friends, want world domination, steal, be controlling, hit people, ignore people, manipulate people.

Those seemed rather personal, ridiculous, and quite debatable.

Bumblebee had retrieved a stick to point with, and tapped it on the red side. “First, we’ll go over what you shouldn’t do. For instance, you were rather rude a minute ago–”

“How?”

“Wha–what do you mean how?? You were giving me all this sass for no reason, didn’t answer my first question, and acted like a disgruntled teenager!” The bug counted on his digits. 

Starscream crossed his arms. “That’s an exaggeration. And what makes you believe you are even worth my respect?” Bumblebee looked just about ready to explode, but Starscream smirked with the thought that if the scout did decide to start a fight, he could point to the stupid little board that admonished hitting people. 

“DUDE! I’m the bot that was trusted to watch over you! Do you know how much I did in the war? I definitely kicked your tailpipe more than once!” The scout pointed the stick at starscream angrily before slumping backwards dramatically. “Ugh…just- regardless, being respectful to people isn’t something you should think they need to earn.”

Starscream laughed, “That’s cute. So you say that you really did just throw the Prime on your pedestal out of nothing but sheer reverence? He did nothing to prove his position worth your confidence?”

  “No! Optimus is an awesome leader, and ticks literally every box on the Do list! He’s done thousands of things to express why he’s a Prime–”

“What about Megatron?”

“He–...Megatron proved his conviction to us when he changed sides, and continues to prove it.” The bug had begun to avert his gaze. “He’s changed for the sake of our people. Optimus believes in him, so I do too. You still have a way to go to get to that point.”

“Ah, so all I have to do is betray everything I’ve stood by for practically my entire functioning, and destroy the Allspark–for you to think me worthy of your respect? Hah! Does that not go against your standard of loyalty? Megatron didn’t do scrap for our people. And that Prime is hardly a saint.”

Bumblebee ex-vented as he rubbed his optics. “…Let's just move on. Trust is the thing that needs to be earned. Shown by actions. Like not being a power hungry crazy person, or plotting world domination, or betraying your friends for your own selfish goals–” The bug abruptly stopped with a cringed expression before continuing– “Uh, yeah, so you should work on y’know, thinking about others and stuff.”

Starscream suddenly noticed his optics glitch and he shook his helm. Right. That was why the bug hesitated. Was Bumblebee actually afraid of him, after all that talk? He should be. A dozen morbid thoughts flashed through Starscream’s processor. The bug had some nerve acting as if he were so perfect.

The lightning flickered through his wings in a subtle warning, “Oh yes. Think about others, hm? What do you think I’ve been trying to do? Ah, right. I am the power crazy lunatic who wants to rule the world, purely for my own pleasure.” Starscream growled dangerously as he put a servo to his chassis before tossing it aside. “Can you honestly blame me for finding myself the only trustworthy candidate for the role? Or aspiring for something better than these pitiful state of affairs? Any friends I may have had, are dead, or betrayed me first. You know nothing, bug.”

Bumblebee scrutinized him with his optics as he actually seemed to be thinking about his next words. “Maybe not…” He tested the stick in his servos. “You’re not exactly the most easy to read mech, Starscream. But even if you really want to think you’re the hero somehow in that twisted processor of yours, we’re gonna have to get this stuff down.” He tapped the board, then added mockingly, “You came here with pure intentions of being redeemed, didn’t you?”

Starscream’s wing twitched, then he crossed his stabilizing servos and poised his posture. “Of course.”

“So how about you actually listen to your teacher for a second, ‘kay? Cool. Great.” The scout brought his stick to point at the first word in his list of pillars. “Empathy. The ability to relate to others on both an emotional and intellectual level. It’s like when you see someone get hurt, and you feel it too, and therefore–should be inclined to help them! It's all about that connection and understanding, that then leads us into Consideration. Which is being mindful of others’ feelings. You need to be empathetic towards someone who's in danger or struggling, and considerate of how your actions affect those around you. So, imagine I’m your partner on a mission, and I don't know, a building collapsed on me or something. You could either leave me there and run away to save your own plating, or pull me out of the rubble to safety. What do you do?”

Starscream’s processor blanked with an echo of static. There were too many variables that would need to be considered in that hypothetical. There wasn’t enough information. Even so, obviously he wouldn’t save an Autobot, that’d be foolish. Rescue the enemy on some naive basis of…empathy? A mech should be able to take care of themself. It would probably be the bug's own fault if he found himself in such a situation. Then who was Starscream to take his opportunity to prove himself capable of fixing his mistake? Saving useless mechs who can’t keep themselves online, would only lead to getting himself killed needlessly. Then how would that be helpful?

He could probably discern what response the scout wanted, but instead a different question escaped his intake. “Would you save a Decepticon in such a scenario?” The rampant hypocrisy amongst the bots irked him. 

“Well–” Bumblebee shifted as he hesitated to confess the obvious answer– “Look, I’m not talking about war, I’m talking about just in general. It doesn’t have to be me that you envision, it could be basically anyone. That's supposed to be the point.”

“If it is merely anyone, then why should I care?”

The scout ran a servo down his faceplate, “Fine. What if it was uh…Skywarp?”

Skywarp’s mangled frame, caught crushed between splintered shards of a once mighty structure, shattered by the Autobots. Skywarp leaking energon with only their helm and a servo free from their predicament. Barely conscious as they called out for Thundercracker in the carnage, who they’d never see again. Skywarp, being painfully quiet for a rare moment in their functioning, before screaming at Starscream for not looking for their brother harder. 

A clapping of servos faded in from a chaotic symphony of explosions and voices, into what they were. Bumblebee was trying to get his attention. 

“Hey! Hey, where’d you go man? You good?” The scout was next to him and centihics away from prodding him with that stupid stick.

Starscream smacked it away and snapped, “I’m fine. Of course I got Skywarp out–a lot of thanks that got me!” His optics flashed red as the memory of Megatron’s fusion cannon sending him crumpled down against the wall, while Skywarp watched, glitched in his processor. 

“Helping people isn’t about getting praised for it!” The bug snipped back as he grumpily retrieved his lost stick. “It’s about doing the right thing, and showing that you care about the people around you… You don’t regret helping them, right?” When Starscream couldn’t respond, Bumblebee continued. “...How about we go to the next topic?”

Starscream stared blankly. He didn’t care. He didn’t have a choice. This was stupid.

“Right…” The scout began awkwardly as he slowly raised his stick to point at the board again. “The next one is… Accountability. Taking responsibility for your actions. Which plays on the Consideration one, because as you consider others’ feelings, you can take yourself accountable when you hurt someone. Like how what you did hit Hashtag pretty hard, and you can take responsibility by acknowledging that. As well as y’know, try to make it up to her. Meg–uh…Oh Primus what’s a better example…? Let’s just focus on the point that to be a good person, you need to recognize when you mess up, and then do something constructive about it.”

Starscream was hardly listening. This whole thing was just a huge guilt trip. Set for the scout to shame him for what a horrible person he was.

The bug just kept talking. 

“Prudence is the act of being reflective, and objective when you’re making decisions. The reflective bit ties with the Accountability one in that it’s about you being aware of the effects of your actions, and that requires looking back on them and deciding what could be improved. The objective part is about not letting your biases, or anger, affect your decisions. Whiiiich goes into Temperance, that means controlling your passion in a way that doesn’t allow yourself to lash out at others. Like how you were getting a bit feisty earlier and snapping at everyone’s favorite teacher!” Bumblebee straightened a bit before pointing the stick at Starscream in some feeble attempt at scolding him. “Not cool. But, I know that might have been a bit fast, so how about another hypothetical! Let’s say, you accidentally broke the kid’s speaker because you hated the music or something. What do you do when they find out, or even before?”

“Plant the evidence where it could incriminate someone else.” Starscream responded immediately without much thought. 

The bug’s faceplate scrunched. “No…You’re–you’re supposed to take accountability. Tell them you did it, say you’re sorry, and either repair it or get them a new one.”

“Why put such a stain on your record–or risk them not accepting your peace offering–when you could simply frame someone else and let it be their problem? Openly admitting fault seldom gets you in anyone’s good graces.” Starscream rolled his optics at the absurdity.

“First, back to the empathy thing, you shouldn’t pawn your problems onto other people. If you are worried about the consequences, then you shouldn’t want to inflict it on someone else. Second, it’s again, not about getting on people’s good sides or praise or anything like that.”

“What is it then? Is it so you can congratulate yourself on how oh so virtuous you are for DoInG tHe RiGhT tHiNg, after they break your servo? It is either them or me. I do not apologize for being a bit selfish on the matter. Your morals are moronic.” 

Bumblebee put his servos together and brought them to his faceplate, then pointed his digits down. “...What about breaking a speaker is some life or death situation?” He let his servos fall. “Dude. No one’s going to do that over a little mistake.”

Starscream stared at him with a raised optical ridge skeptically. That statement was extremely doubtful. Mistakes could be deadly, no matter how insignificant. Even if such a thing may not seem like it would warrant such a response, it never stopped Megatron when he was in a mood. The bug could say that now, but he could not promise that for anyone in the future. Even himself.

The bug got a rather odd expression at his silence. “No one here is ever going to do that. We talk things out. That is how we deal with things in this team. We practice the Temperance and Prudence rules! Keeping our anger in check to manage our decisions in non-violent ways! With the exception of a bit of rough-housing–They might still be mad, but they would appreciate honesty. Your way would just make things worse, not better. Especially if they found out anyway. No one can be perfect, but you still gotta put forth that effort.”

Starscream rested his faceplate on his propped servo with bored optics, “Sure.”

“I’m serious.” The bug put a servo on his hip, “As long as you try, that still counts for something. And we help each other. I’m still a bit guilty of having those occasional moments where I’ve made more reckless decisions. It happens.” He shrugged, “You really just have to make sure to avoid those big ones.”

Avoid the big ones? What scale were these bots weighing their decisions upon? How was Starscream supposed to know what was large or small in their optics? Instances that he felt could be disregarded after proper punishment, seemed to linger for them. Destroying that device in the hypothetical, was apparently a low level offense, but that hardly grazed the range of circumstance. He didn’t have vorns to navigate this place. 

Starscream was glaring hard at basically nothing. This redemption angle of this ordeal was going to prove precarious… He didn’t understand why his way was wrong. It had always been how things worked, as far as he could remember. Perhaps… not with Skyfire, but he was different. They had been partners, equals. The power scales here were hardly clear.

The bug had been talking again.

“–guess fairness can be subjective sometimes. I’m sure you're thinking about some backhanded rebuttal already.” Bumblebee actually looked a bit disappointed when Starscream said nothing, and continued with his doors tipping downward. “...But the Justice pillar also ties in with our last one to wrap up today’s lesson, Fortitude. Which is the courage to stand up for what you believe in. To step in when you see something you know is wrong. Basically the complete opposite of the bystander effect! For instance, if you saw someone you care about being held accountable for something that wasn’t their fault–you’d come to their defense.”

Starscream thought of his trinemates again. “It is not so simple.”

“Well…for you, maybe not. But! If you keep these pillars in mind, and really try and implement them, it could get easier right? Practice?” Bumblebee’s vocalizer squeaked with his grin that was full of doubt. “Maybe?”

Starscream studied him for a moment. The bug had seemed to put in a significant amount of effort. As well as being perhaps a bit more self-aware than he thought, for a moment. The scout was certainly odd, but…he meant well. Something could be appreciated about that. Occasionally. 

Then, Starscream stood from the crate and turned to make his way back to his sparkly little quarters. He was still tired, and the assault on his audials he’d just endured did nothing for the ache in his processor. There were decidedly far too many things to think about.

Bumblebee was silent for a moment before calling out to him, “Okay yeah, good talk! I’ll get back to you on the practice exercises, so we can take a break for now!” 

Starscream put a servo up in acknowledgement before slipping into solitary. The idea of getting the last word was appealing, but he didn’t have the energy. Despite the fact that the small room wasn’t entirely comforting, it would at least be a reprieve from regulating every other mech around him every Primus damned nano-klik. 

Starscream stood there in the middle of the room a moment, as his optics drifted to one particular poster. The seekers soaring into the skies, away from a burning city. He approached it. Stared it down with vacant optics and tense servos.

Then ripped apart every scrap of those wretched structures. Until only the sky and his seekers remained. 

A foolish dream, really.

at this point my tumblr is just becoming a british politics blog but anyway, updates on the police misconduct at the coronation:

Anti-monarchy arrests at coronation to be scrutinised by MPs

Chair of home affairs select committee says decision to be made whether to hold inquiry into use of Public Order Act

Matthew Weaver, Wed 10 May 2023 10.38 BST

The arrest of anti-monarchy protesters at King Charles’s coronation and intimidatory Home Office warnings to campaigners before the event are to be scrutinised by a committee of MPs.

In a statement, the home affairs select committee said it would examine the Metropolitan police’s handling of republican protests at an evidence session next Wednesday.

It will investigate the force’s approach to public demonstrations, the practical implementation of the public order bill and the arrest of republican protesters. A full list of witnesses will be announced in the coming days.

Dame Diana Johnson, the chair of the home affairs select committee, said there were “real questions” about how the new Public Order Act was used to hold leading members of Republic for up to 16 hours during the coronation.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Johnson said she would be interested in reviewing how broad the law was and “what guidance was given to frontline police officers and whether there is an issue about training”.

Johnson added: “So there are real questions about that and we think this morning we’ll need to look at that and decide whether we want to have that short inquiry to learn some lessons and see what the implementation of that act actually means in practice to frontline police officers.”

The force also released without charge three women’s safety volunteers who were arrested on suspicion of committing a public nuisance for carrying rape alarms at the coronation.

Johnson also wants answers about the treatment of these women. She said: “There’s also an issue about the women who were giving out the rape alarms as well and the how they ended up arrested. I don’t think it was under the Public Order Act 2023, but they were arrested as well.

full article here

so, while the home affairs select committee (its basically like a bunch of mps from different parties who examine what the home office is doing. that includes policies, laws, policing, etc.) are meeting to look at what happened, they havent opened an official inquiry, and we dont know if they will.

the last inquiry the hasc opened was on the 7th february this year relating to human trafficking. there is currently an inquiry open on policing priorities (opened 21 july 2022). this seems to have been triggered by the chief inspector of policing andy cooke (truly these titles are pretentious as fuck) who has repeatedly criticised police for not focussing on preventing or solving crime.

you might think that would be the first priority, but considering on the night of the coronation, they were arresting people essentially for thought crimes, youd be wrong. most forces (including the met) often just dont record crimes, and andy cooke is apparently an outlier in believing police should attend every burgulary.

there hasnt been a report published yet for this inquiry but they stopped accepting evidence last november though the evidence transcripts are available for the public to review.

i would like to note that although the hasc is cross-party, 6 out of the 11 members are tories. the rest are made up of 3 labour, 1 independent and 1 snp. as far as i can tell theres no representation for northern island in the committee.

percentage wise, that makes the committee roughly 54% tory, 27% labour, 9% independent and 9% snp. so while diana johnson is labour and from up north, dont get your hopes up regarding an inquiry. i dont know how the ins and outs of their committee, but tories make up the majority.

we do now have official confirmation that six of the protesters were held for 16 hours on suspicion of committing a crime.

im also glad that diana johnson has brought up how the uh taking away the human right to protest act public order act 2023 was implemented. i discussed with my mom how fucking stupid it was to implement a new law thatll affect an event happening the next day.

i am interested as to what she means by the night star volunteers not being arrested under the no seriously guys the right to protest is protected as a human rights act public order act 2023 because why the fuck else were they arrested then? its been reported as "a conspiracy to disrupt public peace", and they were counted within the 64 arrested.

also just gonna mention, diana johnson has said publicly that she wants to review how broad the this law literally suppresses a human right public order act 2023, and idk, it feels like maybe we should have established that before it was enacted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

tl/dr: the home affairs select committee are examining whether they should open an inquiry into the police action during the coronation. unfortunately its majority tory so dont get your hopes up for an actual inquiry happening.

man this mod is adorable. Im excited to see the subway boys as parents if you choose to implement that

I'm glad that you think so! We actually filled out all of the dialogue prompts regarding submas having children so, yes, you can become parents with them. Whether or not they're good at it.... well.....

We tried to keep things as realistic as possible between them while following the same kind of prompts found within the parenting dialogue for the vanilla characters (which... includes more awkward things like how they would hint at wanting a second child... ;;>.>)

For Ingo, we thought would have a better time being a parent than his brother, since he's the customer service representative between them and would be more experienced in taking care of others/children. Emmet..... would try his best! He would struggle more with things.... he's not the the best with people in general, let alone children. Emmet is more used to taking care of Pokémon and has a lower tolerance for usual child things like making messes or not following whatever rules he sets (they're babies... they can't read or understand him...) and he gets frustrated about that. That's not to say that Ingo doesn't have his share of struggles, either! They love their children, but they both get terribly worried and stressed about them.

The both of them do enjoy being uncles to each other's children, though! They always talk about each other and make sure to visit often (.... pretend children ever actually leave the house in Stardew lol).

You can see all of the parenthood related lines under the readmore! ("OneKid" indicates the farmer having one child, with "TwoKid" indicating having two children)

  ▲ Ingo ▲

"OneKid_0": "Our little conductor has been quite curious as of late! [Kid Name] has been running around at full-steam! Even Chandelure has not been able to keep up with them!"

  "OneKid_1": "I hope you don’t mind if I take [Kid Name] with me to the station sometime! Emmet has been wanting to show them how a steam train works! Of course, they won’t quite understand the complexities of a locomotive just yet, but I’m sure that he would allow them to sound the whistle! Since [Kid Name] already enjoys the sound of a wooden train whistle- well- I can’t wait for them to hear the real thing!"

  "OneKid_2": "I have noticed that our little conductor seems a bit lonely as of late.... Do not worry, my dear. [Kid Name] is happy and healthy! Though, I can’t help but think they are missing something..... I’m not sure what. Perhaps it will come to me at a later time. For now, they seem content with playing with the Pokémon! Why, Excadrill has been attempting to teach them how to dig outside! Which.... leads to the problem of them tracking mud everywhere…. Ghuugh… I’ll see if Garbador can help with cleanup."

  "OneKid_3": "[Farmer Name]... our little conductor has been having an issue falling asleep at night. They have become quite the troublesome Noctowl.... On top of that- when they do sleep, they are like a Snorlax. I cannot get them to wake! I feel as if [Kid Name] has inherited my sleeping habits, as I do make it a habit to be up quite late during work hours and, well, you know how I can get in the early mornings. Perhaps a visit to Dr. Harvey can give us an idea how to adjust their schedule! They are still growing and need a proper schedule!"

  "TwoKid_0": "It fills the firebox that is my heart with joy seeing [Kid Name] and [Second Kid Name] play together. They have certainly become their own two-car train. Much like myself and Emmet when we were kids.... [Kid Name] cares a considerable amount for [Second Kid Name]. I should perhaps take them to see Emmet."

  "TwoKid_1": "[Farmer Name]... are you alright with our little conductors leaving home someday? Of course, it’s in the far off future.... but, I cannot help but worry about what's to come. Why, alongside my brother, I went off on a Pokémon journey just like most other children do when they reach the age of 10, of course others start a bit later in their teens... To travel and see the world with Pokémon... it is a life changing experience. You learn a lot and are never alone. No matter what tracks [Kid Name] and [Second Kid Name] choose in life, I will support them every step of the way. I will always encourage them to aim for greater heights! Aah... apologies, my dearest..... Emmet may be right about my hairline if I keep worrying about unplaced tracks."

  "TwoKid_2": "[Second Kid Name] has become quite fussy with their food as of late. Why, they keep feeding Garbador the vegetables you have worked so hard to grow! Perhaps there is a texture they dislike..... It is quite the problem. I also believe [Kid Name] is hiding their food as well...... Uuugh... I hope Emmet and I were not like this towards Drayden when we were younger. Though. I wouldn’t doubt it if we were!"

  "TwoKid_3": "I noticed today that [Second Kid Name] was upset about something. I was about to check up on them when [Kid Name] stepped in and cheered them up! I can’t help but be proud of them both... I hope that they continue on these tracks, with no end terminal in sight! Sorry dear, for derailing a bit..... I can’t help but miss my own brother at times! Our children both remind me greatly of when we were little conductors ourselves! Though, I know I can see him anytime, as his tracks are right around the corner! Perhaps I should plan to take them both to visit their favorite uncle!"

  "OneKid_0": "I am Emmet. I've never expected to be a father. I will be the best! Yup! I will make sure [Kid Name] is verrrry happy! I am nervous, though. What if I mess up? Is this what Drayden felt? If it is, then it is not a nice feeling. Nope."

  "OneKid_1": "I am Emmet. I have to pay attention to [Kid Name]. I do not want Eelektross or Galvantula to accidentally shock them. That will be verrrrrrry bad! They are not used to Electric-type Pokémon. Joltik should be okay though. They do not conduct their own electricity... and if they do accidentally exert it, it is like a static shock. I may be immune to paralysis now, but I remember static not being that bad. A kid can handle it. I did. I'm fine now. Unstoppable, even! Eelektross will have to learn to be verrrry gentle though. But do not worry darling. [Kid Name] will be okay! Worst case, I'll protect them!"

  "OneKid_2": "[Kid Name] seems lonely. They play with plenty of Pokémon. But they have no one to share their experience with.... I can't imagine growing up like that. I am Emmet. I was always a two-car train with Ingo. I think it would be verrrrrrrrry lonely without him. I wonder if we would have been okay with only our Pokémon.... That makes me rather sad to think about. Nevermind. Maybe I'm projecting. I am Emmet. [Kid Name] is [Kid Name]. Maybe they would be better with a sibling. Maybe they're fine as they are now. It is what it is."

  "OneKid_3": "I am Emmet! I will be taking [Kid Name] to see Ingo at the station! It will be verrrry exciting for [Kid Name] to learn about trains! Ingo is a verrrry good Uncle! Yup!

How To Plan For Software Scalability and Fix Bottlenecks in 2025?

Every leading software product engineering service tries its best to convince the global audience regarding promised scalability. But it's important to understand scalability before implementing the techniques about how to plan for software scalability!

The digital transition of businesses to adopt smarter system architecture solutions is paving the way for more organized work processing. Now, everyone seems more conscious about how to implement microservices for better scalability and other important factors associated with it, such as system bottlenecks.

What are Bottleneck Conditions?

A system needs to be scalable to handle the growing user demands. However, system bottlenecks can make this process slower, resulting in making the system inefficient and unresponsive. Creating a scalable system means understanding these bottleneck conditions and making the system free of them.

System bottleneck conditions primarily make up a point where the data flow becomes slow and finally limited. It causes further issues like performance degradation, traffic congestion, and system delays.

Talk to our software experts and get the most cost-effective and comprehensive software product engineering services for your business needs. We offer highly advanced and tailor-made digital solutions to make your brand shine bright like a diamond!

Let's talk!

There are various types of system bottlenecks to specify; we are stating them all as under—

Major Types of Bottlenecks in a System

Database Bottlenecks

Databases may undergo scalability issues due to performance restrictions as a result of bottlenecks. Mainly, the system faces issues like limited capacity to process requests and transactions.

Network Bottlenecks

It occurs in distributed systems more often when a system's network capacity/performance gets restricted by a particular resource, causing system degradation.

Server Bottlenecks

A server bottleneck is when a system becomes inefficient in handling multiple requests and concurrent connections due to limited resources.

Authentication Bottlenecks

It occurs when a system becomes inefficient in the process of confirming user identities and resource access allocations. It limits the system's overall performance. 

Third-party Service Bottlenecks

According to many expert consultations on scaling applications, the scalability considerations for mobile apps are crucial because modern apps frequently rely on third-party services. Scalability issues in these services affect system performance and reliability as well.

Code Execution Bottlenecks

When the system's performance is adversely affected by its design, code execution or writing, and poor utilization of system resources, then it is termed as a code execution system bottleneck.

Data Storage Bottlenecks

If your system is undergoing performance issues because of its storage mechanisms and infrastructure, then the data storage bottlenecks are negatively affecting the system for sure.

It continues to dominate due to its efficiency, flexibility, and scalability. React JS remains the most favored choice for building modern web applications, making it the go-to framework for developers worldwide. Let's dive deeper into the reasons for its success.

What is React JS?

React JS is an open-source JavaScript library for building dynamic and interactive user interfaces, developed by Facebook (now Meta). Since 2013, with the advent of React, frontend development has been revolutionized for developers to develop scalable web applications in a more streamlined manner.

Why React JS is the Preferred Framework for Frontend Development in 2025

React JS remains the top choice for frontend development through its widespread adoption, industry demand, and continuous improvements. Companies like Facebook, Instagram, Airbnb, and Netflix implement React for their web application.

Key Features that Make React JS the Default Choice

1. Component-Based Architecture

This component-based ideation provides developers the freedom to accomplish the UI canvassed in variations and reusable components, thus increasing the efficiency of the development process.

2. The Virtual DOM for Fast Rendering

React implements the Virtual DOM, which means it only changes the needed part of the UI instead of rendering the entire UI, leading to greater performance and speed.

3. One-Way Data Binding

This is a common feature that provides unidirectional data flow within the application, aiding debugging processes, and thus further strengthens application stability.

4. Reusable Components

React components are reusable across different projects, which helps in preventing redundancy and aids in faster product development.

Server-Side Rendering (SSR) by Next.js

React with Next.js makes server-side rendering possible, making it perhaps SEO and search engine visibility friendly.

React Hooks - The Real Game Changer

Hooks, introduced with React 16.8, let developers employ state and other React features without writing class components. This ultimately leads to much cleaner and easier-to-manage code.

React Native-Going Beyond Web Development

Using the same React JS code base, a developer can now create mobile applications faster for cross-platform development.

Support from Community and Ecosystem

Unlike any other framework, React with its dynamic community of developers and rich culture of libraries and tools offer undeterred support and resources to its developers.

Easy to Learn and Strong Documentation

React documentation is well structured, backed by tons of tutorials, putting it among the frameworks easy to learn compared to Angular and Vue.

Integration With Modern Development Tools

React has great integration with TypeScript, Redux, and backend technologies, making it a wonderful application in modern web development.

The Future of React JS

React continues to grow with newer features and updates to keep it mainstream and in the lead among frontend development.

Why Learn React JS at TCCI-Tririd Computer Coaching Institute?

TCCI provides expert professors for training, hands-on project learning, and career support, thus facilitating students' understanding of React JS and assisting them in attaining high-paying jobs in the industry.

Attempting to organize my thoughts on the logic around the idea of "the no kill rule" within the context of the gotham vigilantes and batman. I would need to do more research and reading on batman as a character to see if i truly agree with that characterization as a whole, but running with it if anything as a mental exercise:

I think bruce wayne then believes that the worst thing that can happen to a person, without argument, is death. additionally, he follows that with the worst thing a person can do to someone else is kill them. if the amount of violence the whole beating up "criminals" and stopping crime by being what "they" fear imparts is accepted, while intentional/outright killing is not, then i think the delineating factor has to be the directly causes death part.

i do think that is a subjective opinion. it is a belief that requires a fundamental level optimism. for death to be the worst thing, it has to entail a hope that any bad situation will eventually get better in some way, and that that improvement is always worth it.

i think there is some naivety to this because when taken into the context of how many "criminals" of the "goon" caliber are lower class and generally impoverished, severe physical injury + being poor entails either lack of medical care and/or medical debt and/or permanent physical disability leads to death in a pretty clear fashion. This could be followed up with a class-based analysis of the ethics of batman.

There is some self-centeredness to the opinion perhaps. For batman, the worst thing that happened to him was witnessing the death of his parents. (insofar as the earliest establishment of what his initial goals are as batman). This is what drives him through all of his world tour training. he sees himself in dick grayson because of dick's witnessing of his parents demise. despite all of the completely different circumstances when it occurs.

i think there is a level of an inability to see someone else's trauma and acknowledge it through any lense other than his own trauma. I'm not sure if that is quite the wording i want to convey the idea im poking at, but im workshopping here.

to return to paragraph 3 - the optimism rooted in the idea of death being the worst thing that can happen - i think it begs a question of living with suffering. i dont believe there is an objective response for this. i am of the opinion that people have the right to medically assisted suicide, though i dont feel i could confidently state under what circumstances. in part because i believe suicide is an element of bodily autonomy, but i also have been suicidally depressed. while i still deal with depression daily, i am very glad i didnt kill myself then. things have gotten better for me because my situation has changed such that i am better supported and equipped to face it. That is simply addressing mental health, and suicide and medically assisted suicide is a debate that can go on and on, see the MAID program in Canada and its obvious potential and implemented horrors.

tangent aside, i do believe that there are potential circumstances where a person can and should be able to determine for themselves if death is an answer for them and their struggles. this entails that i dont think that death is the worst thing that can happen to a person.

i dont care about bruce wayne's opinion on rights to medically assisted suicide though. I'm trying to hash out the immaturity of the willingness to do extreme physical violence to a person which can very well lead to that person's death while being unwilling to handle outright killing.

tbc for now though im going to bed, i will not be debating suicide. this post is about a fictional guy i dont particularly like on a blog with next to no followers so that i can have an archived characterization reference for myself, so anyone who manages to see this and wants to say something; behave.

How to Track and Manage Inventory During FBA Prep

Efficient inventory tracking and management are essential for a successful Amazon FBA business. The FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) program offers sellers the convenience of Amazon handling storage, shipping, and customer service. However, before your products reach Amazon's fulfillment centers, how to track and manage inventory during FBA prep becomes a critical step to ensure seamless operations, avoid penalties, and maintain customer satisfaction. This blog will guide you through the best practices to streamline inventory tracking and management during FBA prep.

Understanding the Importance of Inventory Tracking During FBA Prep

Effective inventory tracking is vital for:

Preventing overstock or stockouts: Overstock ties up capital, while stockouts lead to missed sales opportunities.

Ensuring compliance with Amazon guidelines: Incorrect labels or quantities can lead to delays and penalties.

Boosting customer satisfaction: Proper inventory management ensures timely delivery and a positive shopping experience.

Steps to Track and Manage Inventory During FBA Prep

1. Implement an Inventory Management System

Invest in a robust inventory management system (IMS) to streamline your processes. The right IMS will:

Track real-time inventory levels.

Integrate with your sales channels, including Amazon.

Generate reports for better forecasting and decision-making.

Some popular IMS options include Zoho Inventory, TradeGecko, and Cin7, which cater specifically to Amazon sellers.

2. Conduct Regular Inventory Audits

Before initiating FBA prep, conduct a thorough inventory audit. This includes:

Counting stock levels: Verify the exact quantity of each product.

Inspecting product quality: Ensure no defective items are sent to Amazon’s warehouses.

Organizing inventory: Categorize items for easy access during the prep stage.

3. Labeling and Barcoding

Proper labeling is a critical component of how to track and manage inventory during FBA prep.

Use Amazon’s FNSKU labels: Each product must have a unique Fulfillment Network Stock Keeping Unit (FNSKU) label to track it through Amazon’s system.

Ensure labels are scannable: Test barcodes before applying them to avoid delays at Amazon’s fulfillment centers.

Follow Amazon's packaging and labeling guidelines to the letter.

4. Use Inventory Tracking Tools

Leverage technology to simplify tracking. Tools like SellerApp, InventoryLab, and Helium 10 can:

Automate stock tracking and replenishment reminders.

Provide detailed analytics on inventory performance.

Offer insights on seasonal demand trends.

5. Optimize FBA Prep Workflow

Streamlining your FBA prep workflow improves inventory management.

Designate prep stations: Allocate specific areas for labeling, packaging, and inspection.

Train your team: Ensure everyone involved in the process understands Amazon’s requirements.

Track progress: Use a project management tool like Trello or Asana to monitor prep stages in real-time.

Tips for Efficient Inventory Management During FBA Prep

. Forecast Demand Accurately

Use historical sales data and market trends to estimate demand. Accurate forecasting minimizes the risk of overstock or stockouts.

. Maintain a Safety Stock

Keep a buffer stock to handle unexpected demand spikes or delays in replenishment.

. Monitor Expiry Dates (for Perishable Goods)

For food, cosmetics, or other perishable items, monitor expiration dates closely. Amazon may reject or dispose of expired products.

. Track Returns and Defective Items

Set up a system to manage returns and defective items effectively. These products should be inspected and reprocessed or written off.

The Role of FBA Prep Centers in Inventory Management

Outsourcing your FBA prep to a reliable third-party service like 3PShipping can simplify inventory management. FBA prep centers handle tasks like:

Labeling and barcoding.

Quality control inspections.

Packaging and bundling.

Real-time inventory updates through integrated systems.

Partnering with a professional FBA prep center not only saves time but also ensures compliance with Amazon’s stringent guidelines, reducing the chances of errors or penalties.

Mastering how to track and manage inventory during FBA prep is a vital skill for Amazon sellers aiming to maintain operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. By implementing an inventory management system, conducting regular audits, using tracking tools, and optimizing workflows, you can stay on top of your inventory at every stage.
