Wait if Revali was in an idol group who else would be in it and what would their debut song be, plus theme?? Like would it be the rito like Teba Harth etc or would it be like a mix of people (like Teba and sidon and others etc etc) plus what would their name be just curious… or revs positions you know the drill

u know now that i think about it oomfie i think u were the one who was putting newjeans on my dashboard a couple weeks back i should have known u were a kpopper 🤣 also kpop idol positions are always the strangest thing to me so i had to do a little review LMAO

if you wanna be fr, revali wouldn't want to be in an idol group at all, he wanted to be a soloist. but the managers were like no you would do good in a group, debut in a group first and we'll talk about solo later if you're successful enough. so revali fucking hates all these other guys but he is a good asf actor and is so good at delivering fanservice y'all would have never thought he was praying on his bandmates' downfalls KDJFJKDFK i wouldn't have been surprised if it was actually revali tipping off dispatch to give the others scandals

revali is the main vocalist and dancer the maknae LMAO (transl: youngest) of the group RiTO which stands for "Rising To Own", which refers to the group's belief that if "the sky is limit", they must rise higher to break the limit and go beyond it in order to own their true selves. i think it would be funny if since the word is "rising", fans debate on whether to pronounce the acronym as "ree-to" or "rai-to" and even years after the group's debut, people are still fighting online about how to pronounce it. then you got some freaks who say each letter out loud or straight up skip over the "i" to say RTO. RiTO fans are called "ownwings" because they are the wings that allow the group to rise and break the limit, as well as being encouragement to the fans to use their own wings to fly up and achieve lofty dreams together with RiTO. was that kpop-y enough LMFAO i should be a kpop ceo fr fr

the other members of the group include members leader and main rapper teba, lead rapper lead dancer harth, lead vocalist and visual kass, and leader dancer sub vocalist mimo. ages from oldest to youngest goes as mimo, kass, teba-harth (same year teba is older), and then revali. kass is the face of the group, revali and teba switch between being centers a lot, and revali is their all-rounder. i mentioned having to review kpop positions bc shit like "main" vs "lead" always confuses me, so for my non-kpop mutuals, you can refer to this article for more in-depth explanations.

my instinct was to say that they do a "refreshing" concept ASTRO-style because the rito=birds=air=refreshing, but like... do you Really think teba, harth, revali, and mimo could do your standard run-of-the-mill kpop refreshing concept LMFAOKDJFDK

teba and harth's generally gruff and cold-shoulder personalities throw me off trying to come up with ideas for this, because imagining them as kpop idols is so fucking funny. these guys are the dads who will drop their kids off at the TWICE concert grumpy asf as if they're not going home blasting FEEL SPECIAL in the car like ✋😭 (they would never admit it out loud, but teba's bias is jihyo because he respects how long she was a trainee to achieve her dream and harth's is jeongyeon because he likes how her tomboyish charm sets her apart from the rest of the group).

so just because canonically 4/5 of the group are older dilf characters (yes i think mimo is a dilf), i would say their debut concept at the very least would be something that's dark/mature/sexy? i'm thinking they're gonna do something like a kingsman concept bc i feel like that fits their vibe. like iirc the movie 'kingsman' was super popular in south korea so maybe that's what makes them skyrocket in popularity. RiTO debuts with a fresh gentlemen-spy concept and the music video has a story that eventually becomes full-scale lore throughout the rest of their music.

i mentioned revali being a hating ass little bitch when he has to debut in a group but also consider him being like 16-17 while the other members are 18-21 already. these guys are older than him in an industry that is known to be extremely competitive, full of rivalries and harmful health habits that could crush revali if he's not quick or clever enough :( he's just a baby in this industry tbh. so — and stay with me here — i'm imagining teba being the leader and figuring out that revali is just constantly furious and irritated and seething because he wants to be a soloist and not in a group, so he dads revali a bit as his leader and tries to get to know him and get him to calm down. just revali and teba bonding 🥺 and revali eventually not being a hater anymore and slowly having more brotherly bonds with the other members. he becomes their little baby 🥹🤍 always mussing his hair up and giving him bear hugs and teasing him lightheartedly where revali scoffs and pushes them away, but inside he feels warm because he was an only child with parents who were always working.

imagining baby trainee revali who practices the choreo of their debut for hours until he collapses from exhaustion in the practice room, and teba comes in to tell him to go to sleep just as revali falls to the floor. teba immediately shouts for harth who's just down the hall and then goes running to revali to make sure he didn't hit his head or anything. the kid is sweaty and red-faced from how much he danced, completely conked the fuck out from how exhausted he is. harth comes and they carry him to his bed, and try to wake him up so revali can at least drink some water and see if he'll be able to wash up himself, and the whole experience is life-changing for revali because he's like. why did u do all this. and teba and harth are like ??? you're part of the team, we have to take care of each other? and you're the youngest... we have to take care of you especially. and revali is just wide-eyed and about to cry because what the hell. these people actually care about him??????

also manager kaneli and CEO valoo lmfaodkjfdkj. i'm torn between a couple of ideas for the company name because it's either like (1) RiTO is under 'TBNTH (Tabantha) Entertainment' which is a subsidiary of HEBRA Labels, (2) RiTO is under the company 'hebra ent.', OR (3) RiTO is under HEBRA ENT. which is a subsidiary of HYRULE CORPORATION. however for the last one, that would imply that were i to make link a kpop idol as well (😳), he would be in a company that is also a subsidiary to hyrule corp. not that it matters too much but i just think it would be funny if it was like. revali was from a Big 3 company whereas link was from an underdog company like bighit when it first started out. or maybe it does start like that and link's company becomes a subsidiary under one of the other Big 3 companies (Hyrule Corp, TWILI Industries, and TeRMiNA Labels?). i considered also doing something like RiTO being under [company named after hebra/tabantha] which is a subsidiary of [corporation label named after wind waker dragon roost island] but idk.

i'm not gonna go too into link's presence or revalink's relationship here unless you request it since you only asked about revali and i wanna keep the focus on him for this post 😭 but i think kpop idol!link OR fan!link would be very interesting for this au. like what about link who goes from fan to idol p1harmony-keeho style 😭 imagine if link was making tweets about revali like that one busanwings tweet before becoming an idol LIKE DKJFHDKJFHJDF

if link is only just a kpop idol, then him and revali are for SURE getting into dispatch dating rumor scandals. (for non-kpop oomfs, dispatch is a news company notorious in south korea for stalking kpop idols and dishing out scandals on them frequently). it'll be some stupid shit like "H3RO's Link was seen exiting the Slippery Falcon Cafe wearing a shirt similar to RiTO's Revali. Could it be the two idols are seeing each other?" because dating rumors have actually happened in kpop like that 😭

also consider them getting in a dating rumor, and where revali's managers are furious and revali doesn't want to be involved with this nugu, link is completely starry-eyed because revali is actually his idol and the reason why he pursued being an idol, and his company is actually thrilled because ahaha bad publicity is still publicity, right? especially if it has to do with one of the top groups out there right now!

Step-by-Step Guide to CPCWHS1001: Preparing for a Safe Construction Career

In the construction industry, safety is paramount. With its inherently hasardous environment, construction demands that workers be well-versed in safety protocols to prevent accidents and injuries. One of the foundational requirements for anyone entering this industry in Australia is completing the CPCWHS1001 unit, commonly known as the "White Card" course. This certification is essential for anyone who wishes to work on a construction site and ensures that all workers have the basic knowledge and skills to work safely.

In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the steps of completing the CPCWHS1001 unit, what it entails, why it is important, and how it prepares you for a safe and successful career in the construction industry.

What is CPCWHS1001?

CPCWHS1001, officially titled “Prepare to Work Safely in the Construction Industry,” is a nationally recognised unit of competency in Australia. It is a mandatory requirement for anyone wishing to work on a construction site. Successful completion of this unit grants you a White Card, which is a proof of your understanding of key safety practices in construction.

This unit covers a range of essential topics, including identifying hasards, understanding safety signs, following safety procedures, and knowing how to respond to incidents. The White Card is not just a certification; it is a commitment to maintaining a safe working environment for yourself and your colleagues.

Why is the White Card Important?

The construction industry is one of the most dangerous sectors to work in, with a high risk of accidents and injuries. The White Card course ensures that all workers, regardless of their role, have a baseline understanding of the risks involved and how to mitigate them.

Key reasons why the White Card is crucial include:

Legal Requirement: In Australia, it is illegal to work on a construction site without a White Card. This applies to all workers, including contractors and subcontractors.

Safety Awareness: The course equips you with the knowledge to recognise potential hasards and take proactive steps to prevent accidents.

Consider yourself an application administrator updating a program within a scheduled maintenance window of one hour, and all of a sudden the update fails. This is the time to start your rollback processes. Recovering from routine snapshots is the standard procedure for rolling back; the duration of this process varies based on the amount of data that needs to be restored and can take several minutes. Alternatively, you may try to restore from a costly-to-maintain pre-upgrade replica of the program.

What if you had a disk-size-independent, incredibly quick, and affordable recovery solution that would let you take use of the whole maintenance window and provide a predictable rollback time?

Google is pleased to present instant snapshots for Compute Engine, which offer high-frequency, nearly immediate point-in-time checks of a disk that can be quickly restored as necessary.

Recovery time objective (RTO) in the tens of seconds and recovery point objective (RPO) of seconds are provided via instant snapshots. The only hyperscaler that provides high-performance checkpointing that enables instant recovery is Google Cloud. While competing hyperscalers may require tens of minutes or even hours for the workload to recover to full performance, your Compute Engine workload operates at full disk performance as soon as an instant snapshot is restored.

Compute Engine instant snapshots allow you to recover in cases when the data needs to be rolled back to an earlier state but the fundamental infrastructure is still intact. Typical usage cases include of:

Facilitating quick recovery from file system corruption, application software errors, and user mistake.

Backup verification routines that take regular snapshots and instantly restore them in order to perform data consistency checks, like those for database workloads.

Creating restore points prior to an application update allows for a quick rollback in case the scheduled maintenance doesn’t go as expected.

Apart from the aforementioned, employing immediate snapshots can also:

Boost developer productivity: Unintentional mistakes and build failures lengthen the time needed to finish tasks in fast development cycles with lengthy build times or complex code. You can benefit from quick restores using instant snapshots instead of relying on off-site backups.

Check the status before retreating: Make sure the backups you make are in the appropriate state and useable. Before starting a long-term backup, use quick snapshots to checkpoint and clone drives to validate on secondary machines.

Boost the frequency of backups: You can take regular backups of business-critical, high-volume databases that can’t afford long backup windows by using immediate snapshots.

Important aspects of instant snapshots

Compared to conventional snapshots, Compute Engine Instant snapshots have several advantages.

Backups that are made in-place: Instant snapshots are made on regional or zonal drives, and they are stored in the same location as the media type and source disk. This indicates that an immediate snapshot taken from an SDD (or HDD) disk shall be kept on the same disk. Instant snapshots have a fixed creation fee and additional storage costs are billed based on usage.

Quick and incremental: Only modified, incremental data blocks since the last instant snapshot are stored in each instant snapshot, which are prepared in a matter of seconds. Compared to backup snapshots, you can take snapshots far more frequently thanks to its high-frequency snapshotting capability.

Quick disk restore: Every instant snapshot can be quickly restored in a matter of seconds to a new disk. These new disks take on the disk type of the snapshot because they are in the same zone.

Convertible to backup or archive: For long-term, geo-redundant storage, you can migrate instant snapshots to a separate point of presence.

Instant snapshots can be made in a matter of seconds since they only store the data that has changed since the initial checkpoint.

Thus, in the example above, instant snapshots generates a checkpoint at the time of creation, but they don’t actively store data until the disk’s third block is overwritten with fresh information. Keep in mind that adding data like Google Cloud doing here by writing to blocks 6 and 7 doesn’t necessitate using more storage on the checkpoint.

This results in both efficient performance and extremely high storage efficiency: As previously indicated, producing and restoring from an instant snapshot can be completed in a matter of seconds and has no effect on the underlying disk’s performance.

You can easily and effectively safeguard your workloads by integrating instant snapshots into your routine change-management and maintenance processes, thanks to their storage, performance, and cost-effectiveness.

An illustration of a use case

Maya, an administrator of applications, must update programs stored on persistent disk drives. She is allotted one hour to complete this maintenance window. If the volumes have the new software at the end of the window, it will be considered a successful upgrade; if not, it will be considered a rollback, and they will be in the exact same state as they were right before the maintenance window began.

Make use of it now

Instant snapshots provide high-frequency backup and nearly instantaneous on-device point-in-time backups for quick restorations. They facilitate quick restores in the event of unsuccessful upgrades or user mistake, shorten the time needed for off-site backup, and improve program upgrade windows.
