#Others do (animation quality significantly decreasing)

[sskk-manifesto]

Some things never change

[vounoura]

I'm doing ittttt! I did look at Photopea and wow you were soooo right it hatteesss firefox. So I did the free trial of adobe photography and played around with it. I feel like the picture quality isn't as crisp as yours, but I'm taking recordings off my ps5. I'm running into the issue that my file sizes are too big, and the only thing I can think of is just making the picture size smaller. Is there another way to decrease file size without sacrificing picture clarity?

I've so so appreciated your time! <3

explanation under cut for length. a little image heavy.

note: I can't give specific advice for adobe photography, bc I've never worked with it. I'll give you what I know re: working w/ photopea and photoshop 2020 - I am by no means an expert at this, and you can probably find additional help from other posters who've been at this longer than me with better knowledge of photoshop. but I'll give you what I can!

for the first question: The quality of your gifs is first and foremost really dictated by the quality of your video - the better it is, the better your gifs can be, at the expense of your filesize. But the quality looks 100% fine from here.

The 'crisp' quality on my gifs is just sharpening - I'm not sure what it would be on that particular program, but on both photoshop/pea it's called 'smart sharpening' and it helps significantly.

On photopea:

Get your gif cropped and resized. See here for tumblr's gif size rules; these are really important and your gifs should always follow these. The reason is that if your gifs are too small / large for how they're being posted (one in the same line, two in the same line, 3+ in the same line, etc) they'll be automatically resized, which wrecks your quality. This is always the first step before anything else. Yours is 540px, so good to go.

Select all frames and go here:

and on photoshop, the process is a little more involved:

get your gif cropped and resized. Again, always the first step.

convert to video timeline

select all layers, convert to smart object

smart sharpen (can't sharpen without converting to a smart object)

convert frames > flatten frames into clips

delete smart layer

convert to frame animation to get the gif animating

do your colouring

export > save for web for final results

you resize first before smart sharpening bc doing it the other way around destroys the effect of the sharpening.

I can't remember the exact number I used to do on photopea other than I would sharpen twice, on photoshop it's usually smart sharpen @ 355% and that's enough for most gifs, though some (a couple from the Lucanis romance set) took sharpening well enough to do another @ 110% (and some games like my ffxiv sets need lower sharpening); how much kind of depends on the exact game and your own preferences (some people like more, some like less). Sharpening will greatly improve the look of your gifs significantly (as in it's an unskippable step significantly) but is a big filesize hog; I think the lack of quality you're seeing is just bc it's unsharpened.

In terms of actually getting the filesize down without sacrificing quality you have a few options;

generally I don't worry about filesize until after I finish my colouring and sharpening, since those will have significant effects on it. Sometimes due to the way I tend to push shadows really dark a gif is actually larger before colouring than after. ofc if your gif is like 20mb to start you're going to have to trim, but.

The less frames your gif plays, the less its filesize is straight up. If you have extra frames to play with you can remove some off the front and/or back. If not, then:

Related to that, a trick I do with long gifs is to remove every other frame; works really well for video games, but probably not for things like tv shows or cartoons. This takes off half the frames without sacrificing the actual length of the gif or the movement, and the only adjustment I have to make is adjusting how fast it plays. This alone can take a gif from way over to way under and/or let me gif longer movements than I otherwise would; lots (most I think, actually) from the lucanis romance set used this to get them under 10mb. I also check for dead frames (sometimes w/ video games and their captures, you get an extra frame with no movement; this makes your gif choppy). you can take a 300 frame gif to 150 w/ this. I've only done this on photoshop, but it'd probably work with photopea too.

The less colour and movement your gif has to render in general, the lower the filesize. for example, compare these two:

The first was an absolute PITA to get under 10mb bc it's a lot of detail, colour, and movement. The second has significantly less colour and barely any movement, and took barely anything to get under the size limit (and can be way longer in total animation length than the first).

5. your filters and colouring can significantly affect your filesize; how much depends on the colouring, which is dependent on your preferences. I personally tend to have really bold colours combined with very striking shadows bc that's what I like; more colour means bigger files, but lots of black (or white) helps bring down the filesize. again, comes back to the idea that the less your gif has to render the smaller it is.

6. the smaller your length and width, the smaller your filesize is just straight up. a 268px gif will always be able to handle more movement and length than a 540px, and ditto w/ a 177px. You can't touch the width, but you can touch the height; you can remove some of this to take off a little bit if necessary, though unless you're removing large chunks generally the difference in filesize will be fairly minor. The only caveat to this is if you're working with 268/177px gifs, bc all of those in a line need to have the same vertical height or they'll be automatically resized. for single 540px ones tho it's an easy trick.

7. If necessary, you can sometimes add some black (or white, depending on the colour of the gif) gradient at varying strengths and layer opacities as a pseudo-vignette to take away some extra colour, which helps. If I do this it's only in the corners or sides. ex:

(bottom corners have black added in both)

you can also do this with strong colour vignettes. I usually add faint ones to a lot of gifs for extra colour and interest (ie. all of the ones in the lucanis romance set have a light red vignette added), but it can be as light or strong as your personal taste dictates. if it's strong enough to remove some detail, it may help; really faint ones like I do just to add extra colour add to it.

8. play with your dithering settings when you export; bc most of my stuff is video games, I almost never touch this but in an emergency you can consider it. See here for an in-depth explanation on what each option does.

too long, didn't read:

as a general rule, your filesize is going to be dictated by a couple major things; the number of frames you have, the size of your gif, the level of colour and detail, and the amount of movement. adjusting these will affect your size.

height/width, number of frames, and the level of detail are some of the biggest factors.

dark/black (or white) backgrounds, static backgrounds, black and white gifs / limited colour gifs, or gifs with a lot of deep black shadows are generally smaller or help to make them smaller. general rule: the less you have to animate (colour, detail, movement, etc), the smaller the gif.

What do you think Madoka Rebellion adds to the original in terms of the plot or the themes ?

A few years ago, back when I was writing Fargo or Chicago, I noticed the MyAnimeList scores for Madoka the show and Rebellion the movie were virtually identical. At the time, one had an 8.51 on MAL, and the other had an 8.50. These are user aggregate scores, meaning that after hundreds of thousands of individual reviews, each work averaged to a figure within 0.01 of the other.

At first, this similarity might seem to make sense: They are two works within the same franchise, people who like one will like the other, many people probably give both the same score. However, if you take a cursory look into what I'll dub the "psychology" of aggregate scores, this isn't actually a salient explanation.

Outside of severe and noticeable drops in quality from one entry to the next, most franchises tend to increase aggregate score in later entries, especially in anime or other longform works that require significant time investment. The explanation for this pattern is obvious: People who dislike a series don't continue to the next entry in the series, while people who like it do continue, so assuming the series quality remains relatively stable, the next entry will have more people positively inclined toward it than negatively. An observable example of this trend is Attack on Titan. A mega-popular series, its first season currently sits at a respectable 8.54 on MAL, rated by nearly 2.7 million users. Meanwhile, Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 2 (the Attack on Titan anime going to the Homestuck school of subdivision granularity) has a 9.05 on MAL, rated by about 1.5 million users. By shedding 1.2 million users who either disliked the original season or were too lukewarm on it to continue, A3A2 managed to propel itself to be the fifth highest-rated show on the entire site. People who rated Act 1 highly didn't suddenly rate A3A2 more highly, they are simply no longer encumbered by people who rated Act 1 poorly.

In this context, the almost exact uniformity of aggregate reviews between the Madoka show and Rebellion actually suggests a significant aggregate decrease in opinion from fans of the show. You can find evidence for this theory in the current standings of both works on MAL. The show has, since the 8.50 twinning days, actually decreased fairly significantly: It stands now at an 8.36, having dropped a full 0.14 in a few years. (For those who don't think a 0.14 seems significant, I'll remind you that pretty much all scores on MAL except for obvious dogshit and misunderstood classics like School Days range from 7.00 to 9.00). Rebellion, meanwhile, has only dropped 0.03 points, to 8.47. As it currently stands, Rebellion is the 138th most highly-rated work on MAL, while the show is the 199th.

Why has the show plummeted so much more strongly than the far more controversial sequel movie? Well, look at the most popular negative reviews of both works. First, the show:

One of the most Overrated, edgy and pretencious shows, who pretends to be "Deep and Mature" just for having blood on it. [...] The story makes no sense at all, and gets Lots of plotwists all the time to make you think that things are actually happening, when it isn't exactly like that. There is a major threat, but by the final episodes it has no importance since you know there are no consecuences at all. Specially on the ending. [...] If Cute Girls being tortured is all you want, you might be just watching Elfen Lied instead. At least that show is clear about what is going for. Madoka pretends to be a Magical Girl just to surprise people. The fact that people reccommend it just because of that, says a lot about how superficial people are regarding this genre. There have been countless of Magical Girls that handle super mature themes and have more impactful stories, without showing a single drop of blood or tortute porn. [A cursory glance of the reviewer's MAL reveals that the only other magical girl show they have seen is Princess Tutu.]

Over time, Madoka has become the posterchild for edgy magical girl anime, and as such has received increased blowback from people, alien to me, who think "edgy" is a criticism. As the entry point of a well-regarded franchise, it is also the prime target for your standard litany of contrarians (definitely not alien to me) who feel the need to say "I didn't like this popular thing!" As time goes on, Madoka's status as a classic has only become more cemented, and its influence on other edgy magical girl shows more pronounced, making it an increased target for blowback.

Then, the movie:

If you liked girls themselves in the original Puella Magi Madoka Magica, then do not watch this one. It just ruins everything there is to love in the original, undoing the whole sacrifice of Madoka as well as ruining Homura's character beyond repair. As one guy on this forum put it: 'it spits on everything Puella Magi Madoka Magica is. This is a good example of how you do not make a sequel.

Unlike the previous reviewer, this one approaches the film from a starting position of good faith. Their dislike of the film comes not from a general outward revulsion to what the film intends to be, but from a position of betrayal. "This is a good example of how you do not make a sequel."

I argue, however, that these two reviewers are actually far more similar than they first appear. That both of them are writing a review without having truly "seen" the show Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

For the first reviewer it's obvious. Consider how often they talk about how much "blood" is in Madoka the show, when in actuality the show is very rarely visually graphic. They are writing a review against a Madoka that exists solely in their mind, a Madoka that they want to exist in the form they choose to perceive. Some bloody Madoka on the level of Elfen Lied. In the anime landscape, where Madoka is a ubiquitously known classic, it's inevitable that many people will enter the series having already, in their mind, seen it. Believing they know exactly what it is and refusing to pay attention to what is actually being shown them.

For the second reviewer it's less obvious, because their review is not about the thing they are misperceiving. They are not reviewing a culturally-constructed vision of Rebellion that they have prevented the actual Rebellion from superseding. They are perceiving the Rebellion that exists. But they are reviewing Rebellion while remembering a constructed, fictionalized version of Madoka the show.

"Ruining Homura's character beyond repair." This is the most common sentiment I see expressed by fans of the show when criticizing Rebellion. Homura was a hero in the show, they often say; indeed, Homura was the hero of the show. Madoka herself, despite being the titular character, is passive and uninvolved by comparison. Homura's love for Madoka is the redemptive moment at the end of the show that provides catharsis for all of the suffering endured; for Rebellion to turn around and depict Homura as toxic, self-destructive, and just regular destructive is a complete reversal. It "spits on everything Puella Magi Madoka Magica is."

Actually, though, Homura is a real piece of shit. And Madoka always was the true hero of the show.

People seem to have this view of Madoka as a Shinji Ikari-type character, a wimp who runs away from all her problems. This interpretation of Madoka is not supported by the show at all. Madoka is constantly throwing herself into incredible danger to try and help her friends, running into witch labyrinths without any means to defend herself or jumping between Sayaka and Kyoko or tossing Sayaka's soul off a bridge (oops). Madoka's problem is not her will to risk her own life to help others, it's her capability. As long as she remains human and not a magical girl, she lacks the power to do anything to help anyone.

For the first 9 episodes of the show, the person preventing the protagonist from reaching her goal, from gaining the power to help people, is Homura. Homura is thus framed as the show's antagonist for most of the show's runtime, and she does her damnedest to lean into that framing by being a weird, standoffish asshole to everyone, at one point telling Sayaka point-blank to her face "I don't care if you die." In Episode 10, we get a flashback episode that reframes Homura's actions, lending her significant sympathetic traits. And while this does, at first glance, change her antagonist role entirely, many of her actions toward the non-Madoka characters remain unabashedly cruel, and some become even crueler in retrospect. For instance, in one flashback, we see that Mami has survived until Sayaka's transformation into a witch, at which point Mami has a psychotic break and starts shooting people. With this context, when one looks back at how Mami manages to tie up Homura in Episode 3 before charging to her death, is it not plausible that Homura allowed Mami to tie her up and then die to prevent Mami from becoming a problem later?

That line of thought requires more interpretive speculation than perhaps the anime has enough time to give us on its lean 12-episode schedule, so I'll let it go without belaboring. But it's no mistake that Homura is actively disdainful of Mami and Sayaka (she seems to abide Kyoko at least), completely lacking in empathy toward either of them, and focused solely on saving Madoka.

But is there not, then, something redemptive in her love of Madoka? Well, partially.

There's a part in either Episode 11 or early Episode 12 that heavily suggests that Homura is nearing her own breaking point. That if she ever gives up in her belief that she can save Madoka, she will succumb to despair and become a witch herself. After her umpteenth failed fight against Walpurgisnacht, she is reduced to a blubbering, pathetic wreck, a trickle of that oh-so-edgy Blood running down her face. And then, before she gives into despair or otherwise resets the timeline to fail once again (because she only fails, no matter how much she knows, no matter how much cool competence she exudes; she can only ever fail), Madoka saves her. And saves everyone.

Which is what Madoka wanted to do, was trying desperately to do the entire show. What she only needed the power to do, and what only one person was stopping her from doing. The antagonist: Homura Akemi.

It's a miracle! Madoka has saved everyone, has rewritten reality to save everyone. Dead characters come back to life, the world is altogether better, there are no downsides whatsoever. And Homura is upset. Homura is upset because Madoka is now a god and Homura can't talk to her anymore.

That's how the show ends. And I think for many fans, it was tantalizing to hone in on the elements of the story that involve frustrated love, a happy relationship denied, and to buy too thoroughly into the emotionally-manipulative trick that is Episode 10's flashback episode. To allow that episode to eliminate the nine episodes before it and turn the story into Puella Magi Homura Magica, a tale of a courageous hero suffering through time loop after time loop to save the damsel in distress. But that was never what the story was, and that was never who Homura was, except perhaps in Homura's own mind.

Rebellion is set inside Homura's mind. It is as much a study on Homura as a character as it is, seemingly, on the innate audience desire to see these girls happy, to pluck them from the tragic story they're trapped inside and transport them into a coffee shop AU or something similar. The film opens like it's an AU; without context or explanation, the familiar characters exist within an unfamiliar but far happier setting. The Madoka Magica that some saw but which never existed, not the Madoka of egdy blood but its equally imaginary opposite: the Madoka of uncomplicatedly courageous heroines, of sapphic innocence, the Madoka that would have existed if not for that pesky interloper Kyubey, the story's only true antagonist.

Of course, in Rebellion, it is not Kyubey who slowly unravels this placid, ideal AU. Nor is it Mami or Sayaka, those incompetent bunglers who only ever make everything worse. It's the same person who reacted so negatively to Madoka's miraculous new world at the end of the show; it's Homura.

Rebellion provides the perfect avenue for a deep dive into Homura's psyche, something that was impossible in the show due to the unconventional structural purpose Homura provided. For the first time the audience gets to see fleshed out fully a character who before was only seen through a distorted lens, and the character study we get builds upon that distorted basis in an ingenious and delectable smorgasbord of visual delight. We see a picture of a girl on the brink of suicide (suicide imagery resonating throughout, from Homura shooting herself in the brain for a tactical advantage to her painfully detailed fantasy of her witch self on long parade toward execution by guillotine), a girl who cannot find happiness even in paradise, exactly like the girl at the end of the show, or the girl at the beginning of her chronological journey who rejected the catharsis of Madoka's heroic death to defeat Walpurgisnacht. We see a girl who cares about nothing and nobody (one of my favorite moments in the movie is when Homura, who is literally on the brink of despair and in the process of transforming into a witch, sneers at Mami for being emotionally weak) except Madoka, Madoka, Madoka. Then, at the end, in a perfect callback to how Homura's time looping journey started by her seizing onto one out-of-context request from a dying Madoka ("don't let me become a magical girl"), Homura manipulates Madoka into saying "Yeah gee I guess I wouldn't like it if I went away forever for whatever reason" so as to justify her new turn into Satan, the archnemesis of God, the antagonist of God.

Homura has always fought for a vision of Madoka that was not the real Madoka. She has always stood counter to Madoka's true goals, both in the show and in the movie. Exactly how, as time goes on, more and more people react to a Madoka that is not its true self, a Madoka of blood or a Madoka of cotton candy, a cultural conception of Madoka increasingly divorced from its real text.

Homura, at least, by the end of Rebellion, realizes this fact and accepts it; only through this acceptance of herself as the villain does she escape the suicidal finale she previously envisioned. I do not know if I can say the same for those haters and fans of a show that does not exist.

It has nothing to do with what anyone fears or with ridiculous ideas like ‘all of life is irreversible’ (untrue). It has a lot to do with mental illness, misogyny, and healthcare standards.

You can’t consent to donating a kidney even if you do know all the risks and ‘know what you want’ if you’re at even a small risk of health complications in the future that would require you to have both kidneys. No doctor worth their salt would perform that procedure, no matter who you’re donating to or how desperate you are to save them or how terrible your life would be without them. No doctor worth their salt would prescribe medication or perform surgeries that can only, physically, harm you. The integrity of healthcare quality, patient safety, and the medical profession as a whole wouldn’t allow it. Yes, even if the medication or surgery improves your quality of life or mental health significantly. Yes, even if you think you know all the risks and decide to do it anyway. Doctors are not, and should never be, facilitators of patients’ desires.

I say this in the kindest way possible; you quite literally don’t know what’s good for you in a medical context if you don’t have a medical degree. No amount of counselling or reading up on risks can mitigate that. It’s not ‘talking down to you’ to acknowledge that you’re not as knowledgeable as you think you are.

When we talk about the irreversible effects of opposite-sex hormones, we’re talking about massive decreases to quality of life, mental health decline, and truly irreversible, damaging physical changes. If any other medication caused these kinds of effects, it would never get past animal studies, if it even got that far. We’re talking about bypassing every check and balance we have in medicine to avoid the kinds of disastrous decisions that led to the likes of thalidomide being prescribed to pregnant women. It’s not a question of personal choice, it’s a question of medical ethics.

I understand that dysphoria is paralysing in a way that makes life extremely difficult, I was intensely dysphoric as a child and still struggle with it from time to time. The answer is not, and will never be, further damaging your body and mind with experimental treatments that confine you to a life of pharmaceutical dependency. Your body is not wrong, society is. You can pursue a lifestyle that matches your needs without subjecting yourself to medical experimentation, or claiming to fully be the opposite sex.

"irreversible side effects of HRT" all of life is irreversible. i cannot go back a single second in time

The Environmental Impact of Chemical Drain Cleaners: A Deep Dive into Their Hidden Dangers

Clogged drains are a common household nuisance, and when faced with a stubborn blockage, many homeowners quickly reach for a bottle of chemical drain cleaner. These products promise fast, effective results — melting away hair, grease, and debris with minimal effort. However, what many don’t realize is that the convenience of chemical drain cleaners comes at a significant environmental cost.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the hidden dangers of chemical drain cleaners, focusing on their environmental impact, potential health risks, and safer, more sustainable alternatives. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to maintain your plumbing or an eco-conscious individual concerned about the planet, understanding the effects of these household staples is crucial for making more informed choices.

What Are Chemical Drain Cleaners?

Chemical drain cleaners are chemical formulations designed to clear clogged pipes by breaking down the material causing the obstruction. Available in liquid, gel, or foam form, they typically contain harsh chemicals like sodium hydroxide (lye), sulfuric acid, or hydrochloric acid. These substances are powerful enough to dissolve hair, soap scum, grease, and other common household blockages.

While they offer a quick fix, the reality is that many chemical drain cleaners contain substances that can harm not only your plumbing but also the environment.

How Do Chemical Drain Cleaners Work?

Chemical drain cleaners work through a process called “caustic” action, which involves the breakdown of materials through chemical reactions. Here’s a quick breakdown of how the process typically works:

Alkaline drain cleaners (such as those containing lye) break down organic materials by increasing the pH levels in the drain.

Acidic drain cleaners (which may contain sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid) decrease the pH level, effectively dissolving the material causing the clog.

While these chemicals are effective at clearing blockages, they can be harmful to your plumbing, your health, and the environment.

The Environmental Dangers of Chemical Drain Cleaners

Chemical drain cleaners, while effective, have significant environmental consequences. Here’s a closer look at the dangers they pose:

Water Contamination

When you pour chemical drain cleaners down the drain, they don’t simply disappear. Many of these chemicals end up in wastewater systems, which eventually flow into rivers, lakes, and oceans. Over time, the accumulation of chemicals in water bodies can lead to contamination, harming aquatic life and potentially impacting the water supply for human consumption.

The toxicity of substances like sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid is concerning. Even in small quantities, they can significantly alter the pH balance of water bodies, leading to long-term ecological damage. For instance, a sudden change in pH can disrupt aquatic ecosystems, harming fish, amphibians, and other wildlife.

Harm to Wildlife and Ecosystems

The impact of chemical drain cleaners extends beyond water contamination. These substances can harm animals that come into contact with polluted water. For example, fish can die or become disoriented from even small concentrations of harmful chemicals in their habitat. This ripple effect can disrupt entire ecosystems, as the death of one species can have unintended consequences for other organisms within the same food chain.

Additionally, when chemical drain cleaners are not disposed of properly, they can pollute soil and groundwater, impacting local wildlife, including plants, insects, and larger animals.

Air Quality and Ozone Depletion

Many chemical drain cleaners contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are harmful to air quality. VOCs are released into the atmosphere when the product is used, contributing to air pollution and potentially damaging the ozone layer. Prolonged exposure to these chemicals can also have detrimental effects on human health, including respiratory issues.

Health Risks Associated with Chemical Drain Cleaners

While chemical drain cleaners are designed to clear clogs, their strong chemical composition poses significant health risks to both humans and animals.

For Humans

The chemicals in drain cleaners can cause skin and eye irritation, especially if they come into direct contact. Inhaling the fumes can lead to respiratory problems, such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. In more severe cases, accidental ingestion of these products can lead to chemical burns or even life-threatening injuries.

For households with children or pets, the dangers are even more pronounced, as these products are often left within reach. Ingestion or skin contact can result in severe burns, poisoning, and long-term health complications.

For Pets

Pets, particularly dogs and cats, are especially vulnerable to the toxic effects of chemical drain cleaners. Animals may unintentionally ingest the chemicals if they come into contact with contaminated water or surfaces, leading to serious poisoning. Some pets may experience symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, and even organ damage in extreme cases.

The Hidden Costs of Chemical Drain Cleaners: Beyond the Environment

Chemical drain cleaners may seem like a quick and inexpensive solution to clogged pipes, but they come with hidden costs that go beyond environmental damage.

Plumbing Damage

The caustic nature of many chemical drain cleaners can cause significant damage to your plumbing over time. The chemicals can corrode pipes, leading to leaks, cracks, or even complete pipe failure. This damage can result in costly repairs and even the need for full pipe replacements.

Long-Term Impact on Municipal Water Systems

When chemical drain cleaners enter municipal water systems, they can compromise the water treatment process. The chemicals can disrupt the natural filtration processes, requiring additional treatments and increasing the overall cost of water treatment for entire communities. Over time, this can strain local governments and contribute to higher water bills for consumers.

Eco-Friendly Alternatives to Chemical Drain Cleaners

Fortunately, there are several eco-friendly alternatives to chemical drain cleaners that can effectively clear clogged drains without compromising the environment or your health. Here are some of the best options:

Natural Drain Cleaners

Several natural cleaning solutions can effectively clear drains without resorting to harsh chemicals. Common ingredients include:

Baking soda and vinegar: When combined, these two household items create a fizzing reaction that can help break down grease and grime in pipes.

Lemon juice: Known for its natural disinfecting properties, lemon juice can help clean drains while leaving behind a fresh scent.

DIY Solutions

For regular maintenance, a mixture of hot water and a plunger can be a simple yet effective way to dislodge blockages. Alternatively, a drain snake can physically remove clogs without the use of chemicals.

Professional Green Cleaning Options

For more stubborn blockages, consider hiring a professional plumber who specializes in eco-friendly methods. Many plumbers now offer green drain cleaning services that use non-toxic solutions and advanced tools like hydro-jetting, which uses high-pressure water to clear blockages without chemicals.

How to Properly Dispose of Chemical Drain Cleaners

If you have leftover chemical drain cleaners, it’s important to dispose of them properly. Pouring them down the drain or toilet only exacerbates the environmental impact. Instead, take unused products to a local hazardous waste disposal facility. Many municipalities offer designated drop-off points for household chemicals, ensuring that these dangerous substances are disposed of safely.

Rethinking Our Approach to Drain Maintenance

Chemical drain cleaners may offer quick fixes, but the long-term environmental and health risks they pose make them a less-than-ideal choice for maintaining your plumbing. By opting for eco-friendly alternatives and implementing safer drain maintenance practices, you can protect both your home and the planet.

As homeowners, it’s our responsibility to make informed choices about the products we use. By being mindful of the environmental and health impacts of chemical drain cleaners, we can ensure a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable future for generations to come.

Who Is The Best STP And ETP Plant Manufacturer In Noida ?

We already are aware that the amount of industrial wastewater produced is alarming given how quickly many sectors are growing. These industries all produce different combinations of pollutants that are extremely harmful to the environment.

To prevent the direct release of untreated wastewater into aquatic bodies, environmental regulations require all industrial units to establish a connection with Netsol Water, the most dependable & efficient STP and ETP plant manufacturer in Noida.

The quality of Riverstream Water deteriorates as the population increases with the revolution in the Industrial sector.

Over the course of time, Noida's rivers have become extremely dirty. People are doing rites on the river bank shores as well as throwing trash, flowers, & organics into it, which is why it is happening. Additionally, the rivers around are being filled with industrial sewage & effluent wastewater. Their contamination is caused in part by these important factors. These waterways are growing increasingly unsanitary & unhealthy as a result.

Sewage & Effluent release from Industries are responsible for Environmental Degradation.

The industrial manufacturing of various goods are mainly responsible for creating contamination in water. Ponds, lakes, rivers, & various other bodies of water lose their aesthetic value due to industrial pollution. It has a major impact on people's health as well. Furthermore, both organic & inorganic materials can be found in dirty wastewater, also known as untreated effluent& sewage. Aquatic life is eliminated by these pollutants.

Basic factors influencing the cost of constructing & setting up an STP & ETP?

The cost of installing an STP & ETP varies greatly based on several factors, such as the materials & components employed, the dimensions & size of the building site, the kind & amount of sewages & effluent wastewater that needs to be treated or processed, & the intended output quality standard. STP & ETP operational expenses might also vary significantly. It depends on thekind & number of inputs such as chemicals as well as the numbers, size, & efficiency of additional pieces of equipment.

Why are STP and ETP Plant Manufacturer in Noida are required significantly?

Therefore, there are several reasons why wastewater treatment is necessary, including:

Actions on Safeguarding the Environment

The disposal of such untreated wastewater into the environment has a negative ecological impact. Effluent or Sewage level toxins can kill both plants & animals as well as ruin the ecosystem & contaminate water supplies. These industries' sewage &effluent may have negative consequences.

How Midday Walks Boost Your Dog's Mood: The Complete Guide.

Just like with a human, a dog thrives effectively when there is a structure in its life and an appropriate balance between activity and rest. Most enriching for your dog will be regular midday walks. For a dog, such walks are essential not only for exercising but also because of the mood they impart.

In this blog, we will be discussing the best benefits of midday walks and how they help your furry friend both psychologically and emotionally.

The Science of a Happy Dog

Dogs are social animals and require regular interaction and stimulation. Midday walks are perfect for interspersing in their day, as they will offer the mental and physical exercise so much needed for them then. Research shows that constant stress and anxiety in dogs can be decreased massively with continuous training. Walking releases endorphins—natural mood elevators—through physical activity.

What is more, walking is an excellent opportunity for the dog to explore the environment and learn new smells as much as possible. The sensory enrichment that results from this is vital for their mental health, as it decreases boredom and prevents the development of destructive behaviors that usually result from too little stimulation.

The Routine Advantage

Dogs are creatures of routine, so in a dog's life, consistent routines are crucial. A midday walk also gives structure and security to dogs. Knowing that in the middle of the day, they get to do something fun and exciting reduces anxiety and restlessness. A midday walk just breaks the day up and, in the case of dogs, can prevent feelings of loneliness while their owners are at work. The break can also separate or prevent issues like separation anxiety. When you have something to look forward to, in general, your demeanor is much happier.

Physical Health Benefits and Mood Improvement

Keeping the weight in the healthy range for a dog is essential for routine exercise and preventing obesity-related complications. Midday walks are an excellent way for them to get some energy and maintain some physical fitness. The physical exertion will have exhausted them, settling them down and making them content for the rest of the day. Exercise also is up a dog's metabolism and digestive system. Walking a dog during the mid-day would help digest the food properly, and there is little possibility of diarrheal disorders. A dog in good physical shape is much better behaved and happier.

Social Interaction and Mental Stimulation

Midday walks are perfect for socialization. Your dog gets to meet and interact with other dogs and people, which is key for their social growth. These positive social experiences can significantly boost your dog’s mood and confidence.

Moreover, the new sights, sounds, and scents your dog encounters during a walk provide essential mental stimulation. This is just as crucial as physical exercise, helping to keep their mind sharp and engaged, and lowering the risk of cognitive decline as they age. A well-stimulated dog is a happy dog, and regular exposure to different environments can greatly enhance their overall mood.

Quality Time with You

One of the most rewarding aspects of a midday walk is the chance to bond with your dog. Spending quality time together strengthens your relationship and gives your dog a sense of security and belonging. Dogs are highly attuned to their owners and consistent, positive interactions contribute significantly to their happiness.

Taking a break from your busy schedule to enjoy a leisurely walk with your dog also benefits you. It provides a moment to relax, get some fresh air, and experience the joy of seeing your dog happy and healthy.

Conclusion

Adding a midday walk to your dog’s daily routine with PawNanny can have significant benefits for their mood and overall well-being. It offers essential exercise, mental stimulation, and social interaction, all of which contribute to a happier, healthier dog. Commit to giving your furry friend the midday joy they deserve, and you’ll see a positive transformation in their mood and demeanor.

For mangroves, finding fruits can be a challenge. Mangroves are trees that grow in salty, wet areas along the coastlines of tropical and subtropical regions, and their diet sadly does not consist of most fruits. This is because mangroves tend to lack pollinating opportunities and a good variety of available fruits to access in their habitat.

The pollination process is a crucial element needed for fruits to grow but for mangroves that often lack the traditional habitats of pollinators, such as bees, they can miss out on that opportunity. This means decreased production of fruits, as they cannot be produced without pollination.

In addition, the fruits that do grow in mangrove habitats are sensitive to strong saltwater winds, which can affect their ripeness and quality. Mangroves can’t travel very far to find different types of fruit, so if a saltwater storm were to hit, they could be completely without their main food source.

Mangroves also tend to lack other types of adequate food sources such as vegetation and animals. The lack of food resources in their environment can make looking for fruits even more challenging, as they could be the only option they have available.

These environmental factors make finding fruits in mangrove habitats a difficult task, and without access to these resources, their populations could decrease significantly. Solutions to increase their fruit production include providing mangroves with pollinators and nutrients from additional vegetation. This could provide them with the resources they need to produce more fruits and thrive in their environment.

Not only does this give customers a clearer understanding of the business, but it also allows them to align themselves with a brand that shares their values and beliefs. This, in turn, can help build trust and loyalty between the business and the customer.

Become More Understandable

When it comes to communicating complex ideas or products to an audience, relying solely on text-based explanations can often prove to be a daunting task. Depending on the style and technicality of the copy, there is no guarantee that the intended audience will be able to fully connect with and engage in the message being conveyed. Relying solely on written copy and static images may not always be the most effective way to bring an idea to life.

Fortunately, there is a solution that can help businesses more effectively communicate their complex ideas and products: animated videos. Animated videos provide a dynamic and engaging way to convey technical or complex messages in the form of a captivating story. By using visual storytelling techniques, animated videos can help make abstract concepts and technical jargon more accessible and easier to understand for a broader audience.

Animated videos can also provide a highly customizable and versatile medium for businesses to communicate their message. With animation, the creative possibilities are virtually endless, and businesses can tailor their videos to suit their branding and messaging needs. From character design and animation style to voice-over and sound effects, businesses can craft an animated video that truly captures the essence of their message and resonates with their audience.

It Boosts Your Conversion Rates! 

When it comes to engaging website visitors and encouraging them to take action, video content is a powerful tool that businesses can leverage to great effect. Studies have shown that when users are presented with video content on a website, they are significantly more likely to spend a longer amount of time on that site compared to websites that do not feature video content. The likelihood of users bouncing off a website decreases by a whopping 100% when video content is present.

Moreover, video content can also have a significant impact on conversion rates. Research suggests that 64% of people are more likely to take action – whether that be filling out a contact form or completing a purchase – after watching a video. This highlights the significant potential that video content has to not only engage website visitors but also drive them towards taking a desired action.

One effective way to utilize video content is through animation. By using animation to explain the benefits of your product or service, businesses can create a visually appealing and engaging message that is more likely to capture the attention of website visitors.

It’s Entertaining

Animated children’s films and cartoons are well-known for their ability to capture the attention of viewers through entertaining and creative storytelling. Similarly, modern marketing strategies often rely on these same techniques to capture the attention of consumers and engage with them on a deeper level. Animation, in particular, has become an increasingly popular tool for marketers as it is often associated with entertainment rather than traditional advertising.

This association with entertainment can make animated marketing content more appealing to consumers, as it can feel less intrusive and more engaging than traditional advertising. By leveraging the creative and imaginative potential of animation, businesses can create marketing content that is not only visually appealing but also emotionally resonant with their target audience.
