Tristin Dugray lore hcs

wc: 1k

warnings: mentions of broken/dysfunctional families, tristin's siblings both have drug problems, mentions of sexism and abortion (v briefly), mentions of cheating (also v briefly), tristin is not super close with his siblings, brief mention of DUIs (not tristin), I think that's it??

summary: lore on Tristin's family whipped up in my little plastic play kitchen by yours truly lol

a/n: I MISS HIM!!!! I SAW SOME GIFS THAT MADE ME SALIVATE!!!!! also!! in case it wasn't obvious the Dugray family is based on the real life Dupont family, just like how the Huntzbergers are based on the Sulzbergers

song recs: family jewels - Marina (ouch!), be here - palaye royale, everything is romantic - charli xcx

The Dugray family have made their fortune as far back as the American revolution, starting with immigrating to America and manufacturing gunpowder for the American soldiers

This eventually led to the Dugray family owning one of the largest and most established chemical manufacturing corporations in America, DuGray

They invented a number of household names like pyrex, teflon, styrofoam, and even superglue, and also make ppe for people who work with or around chemicals

A while back, they also acquired two bank chains on the east coast, one of which is for east coast businesses, and the other is expanding slowly across america. 

The Dugray family’s net worth is roughly 18.6 billion. I know. 

Also, the Huntzberger family’s net worth is roughly 21.7 billion. I know.

Tristin mentions at one point that he has a “matching set” of baggage with Paris, and we know Paris’s parents are not at all close to her, or each other

We also know that her father is the head of a pharmaceutical company, and when her parents divorced it was in the newspaper

So yikes!

Anyway the only family mentioned by name is Janlon Dugrey, his paternal grandfather (I’m assuming if Janlon was his mom’s dad he would have a different last name yk)

So OBVIOUSLY I had to flesh things out a little 

Looking at this family tree I made a while ago, Tristin has two older siblings: his oldest brother Royce, and his older sister and middle sibling Sutton

They’re both a bit older than Tristin, since his mom is their dad’s second wife

Truett DuGrey married Helena Holshire and had Royce, then Sutton

They divorced when Royce was around 7 and Sutton was almost 5 because Helena suspected Truett of cheating, and Truett suspected Helena of being a gold digger

Both were true

A couple years later, Truett is introduced to Blythe Ross while working on publicity for the banks his family as acquired 

Blythe and Truett didn’t necessarily get along, but she could handle him better than most other women he’s met 

They were actually introduced through Mitchum Huntzberger and his wife Shira, because Shira and Blythe are sisters

Surprise!

So Blythe gets pregnant and Truett can feel another Helena gold digger situation coming

That’s when Blythe tells him she can’t go to his work event because she has to go to a clinic

Truett stops in his tracks and realizes three things at the same time

Blythe is not in fact using a pregnancy to try and get access to his money

He loves his son Royce as much as he’s able to, but he’s already becoming apathetic and Truett can’t pass over the family business to someone with no drive or ambition

Royce is 10 by the way

Lastly, he realizes that this might actually be beneficial to him

So he convinces Blythe not to get an abortion and to elope instead

Once she gets her body back after the baby they’ll stage some wedding photos and claim it was from a little over a year ago so no one knows he had the baby out of wedlock

When she’s 18 weeks along, he schedules a private ultrasound to find out the baby’s gender

He tells her that if it’s a boy, everything will be fine

If it’s a girl, he’ll serve her annulment papers and nice fat alimony and child support checks to keep both of them out of his life

Blythe isn’t sure if she’s relieved or not when the doctors announce they’re going to be having a healthy baby boy, but Truett sure is

So he grows up watching his burnt out older brother and back bone of the family older sister navigate middle school and high school when he’s barely starting kindergarten

They don’t have any harsh feelings toward Tristin

Not really

They were just never that close yk

It’s like the pilot of umbrella academy, “we only see each other at weddings and funerals”

Except really, they only see each other when Truett forces them into whatever is going on with the family business, or to bail each other out of trouble

Royce is just waiting for his trust fund to kick in so he can fuck off and smoke weed in peace

Sutton is desperately trying to keep her image and life together while hiding her nicotine dependency and steadily growing pill problem from the public eye

And Tristin just wants to fucking feel something

His mom has been in and out of “med spas” and “wellness retreats” for so long he wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t recognize him, and the only time he and his dad talk is when he’s making charges go away

Sutton is engaged to this guy Clint

And he’s fine or whatever, Tristin hasn’t really talked to him much before

But he’s keeping his ear to the ground to make sure he treats his sister right

Sure Sutton can be condescending and a total control freak and act more like a mom than his actual mom

But she’s still his sister

So Sutton’s been off planning this huge wedding and trying to start some lifestyle brand for luxury dog beds and organic phone cases or something

Royce barely managed to keep his latest DUI for driving stoned under wraps but Truett still found out and sent him off to rehab

So Tristin starts high school at Chilton feeling almost lonelier than ever

Tristin aches for consistency, for stability

Thanks to Duncan and Bowman he sort of has that

And people like Paris that he’s literally been in school with since he can remember

It’s not that they’re particularly close, but he just likes that she’s always around when he’s going to and from class

There’s a few other people like that too, loose acquaintances that haven’t dropped out or transferred

They make him feel like even if everything else has gone to shit, he still has his winning personality

And he still has Chilton

i'm probably naïve and don't have an expanded imagination but i really don't want to see claudia in a relationship with a woman in her 30s.

i'm fine with claudia being a tragic character that never finds happiness as she would like it than to deal with a 30-year-old white woman actively romancing a black girl in a 14-year-old body

they can show claudia pining and being miserable like they did with the which one of you is gonna fuck me in sn 1 but maintain the adults being like, nope

they've shown they can deal with the incestuous themes of anne's work without incest so i'm hopeful

well u dont have to down urself lol its nothing wrong w/ having a clear boundary when it comes to what u can tolerate seeing in a fictional narrative lol. im teflon don in rl so irdc bout fiction i will say i personally found rice’s racism which extended to her real life to be most irredemable than anything else & relatively understated in criticisms of her compared to ppls criticism of psychosexual / incestuous themes. i found she was at the very least aware of how they operate n willing to tackle the insanity caused as a result of these power imbalances [?] n what the result of such dynamics being the foundation for characters subsequent interactions n relationships better, now contrast to her upholding racialist beliefs & dynamics in her work n supporting racist actions of paula deen n such rl n also setting the groundwork for the glorification of the antebellum south in ~gothic horror~. like cmon anne the metaphor [& the historical reality] of the european investor in slavery creating the american slaveowner who feast on& r parasites to the slave in labor n flesh was right there n neither rice nor “transformative” fanon afaik was ever interested in exploring that, rather they both treated that like the good ole nuclear family days . butt im sorry for going off topic my friend im pretty sure these writers have a plan in mind for how theyll show claudia’s&madeline’s dynamic and all my mindless speculation will be pointless lol.

I woke up feeling anxious, readied myself feeling nervous, fussed with my hair a little too long for my own liking, and by the time I sat in that chair, a long forgotten, but all too familiar feeling of anticipatory dread engulfed me. Suddenly, I had become that once vulnerable, insecure young girl again, sitting in a classroom waiting for the results of that all or nothing exam. Except now, I am a middle aged woman, and the stakes are much higher. Was I prepared? Was I ready? Did I do enough? So much was riding on this visit, and the promise I made to myself exactly one year ago. My Bernie offered to come with me, but I declined the offer. After all, it was me against me, and always has been.

There I was, having just turned 53 a few days prior, sitting in a doctor's office. The nurse had just taken my blood pressure. "It's 160 over 91, she frowned. Do you always run this high?" No, I said, as she hurriedly typed. Not usually. After she left, I instinctively reached for my cell phone only to stare at my face. Was my high blood pressure visible? Should I retouch my roots? Did I wear the right foundation? Minutes in that poorly lit room felt like an eternity, but I was determined to record the day to keep myself accountable. So I snapped the photo anyway.

No sooner did I place my phone back in my purse, than my doctor enter the room, a forty-something, soft spoken, Jordanian born endocrinologist with an affinity for vegetable gardening.

After exchanging the typical and expected greetings, he asked how I was feeling and proceeded to sit in front of his charts. I answered truthfully, told him that I was at my one year anniversary into my healing journey and was anxious about my recent test results. He smiled, enough so that I could feel myself exhaling, while his voice seemed to fade further and further away.

The Holy Spirit blessed me that day. Now, I am so grateful I could cry.

A year ago, I had officially succumbed to morbid obesity, weighing in at a whopping 207lbs. I lived with chronic fatigue, hair loss, insomnia, brain fog, and worse, I didn't recognize myself anymore. Was this middle age? Was this my new normal? I had hit rock bottom. Years of walking, years of hiking, years of gardening, and lifting, and digging, and pruning, and mulching, and tilling, and for what? Menopause. My endocrine system was off balance, my lymphatic system, metabolism had slowed to a crawl. I already had one suspicious nodule removed from my left breast, and two suspicious nodules removed from my thyroid. My body had officially become acidic, potentially opening the flood gates to disaster. It was clear I needed to make a drastic change, and I needed to become passionate about it, even obsessed if it were to work.

First things first, I stopped eating out. I needed to gain control of ingredients and therefore overall nutrition. At first this felt like punishment. I stopped hosting, entertaining. No liquor, no temptation, no excess food, no nonsense. Swapped Teflon for copper and cast iron as I was anemic, low in vitamin b-12, low in vitamin D, magnesium, just to name a few. I doubled down on eating simple meals, by focusing on nutritious, whole food. Naturally, I expanded my garden, growing more, doing more, learning more. Like I said, obsessed, for the first time in a long time. In fact, the last time I was this disciplined or "obsessed" about something was back when I was living in Israel and practicing Hebrew for 5 hours a day.

Finally, and most importantly, I gave up all sugar. Yes, all sugar. This was the hardest part, and it took about 3 months for my mood to stabilize and more critically, for it to become a habit. Yes, not even in my coffee. Today I take in my sugar from fruit and only fruit. Nothing artificial, nothing processed, nothing fake, nothing that makes me feel like a fake.

The results? inflammation is way down, energy is way up! I can happily say I wake up at 5 am without the need for an alarm and I now weigh 148 lbs. As for the numbers? Let me explain my doctor's smile. Cholesterol went from 240 to 185, now within normal range, A1C pre-diabetic readings went from 6.7 to 5.6. I am now out of danger and within normal range. Finally, two remaining nodules in my thyroid have shrunk in size. I see the light at the end of the tunnel and am more determined than ever before. And, I'll never go back. This feels like a rebirth.

So, you see, dear friends, I am not ignoring you, and I am beyond grateful for the birthday messages, caring and loving words. But, I had to focus and do my work, ethically, holistically, intentionally, consistently. Naturally and without shortcuts.

I simply needed to get to a point in my life where I loved myself, more than I loved my addiction to excess, in any and all forms it showed up.

Happy Birthday to me. This is relieved, hopeful and grateful 53...

My healing journey and my journey to balance ... continues.

Till next time. With love. Maritza

Circuit board and PCB assembly manufacturer from China — Hitech Circuits Co., Limited

Teflon PCB, RF PCB

What is Teflon PCB?

Teflon is a brand name for a synthetic fluoropolymer material called Polytetrafluoroethylene. It is made up of carbon and fluorine atoms arranged in a specific molecular structure, which gives it its unique properties.

Teflon, in particular, is a registered trademark of Chemours Company, and it has become synonymous with PTFE, which is used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications due to its excellent non-stick properties and resistance to heat, chemicals, and abrasion.

Why is Teflon advantageous in PCB Manufacturing? 

Chemically Inert: Teflon is inert because of its strong carbon-fluorine bond, which is one of the strongest known covalent bonds. This bond makes it extremely difficult for other molecules to react with Teflon, making it resistant to chemical reactions and degradation. Therefore, it is likely to last much longer than a fiberglass material for PCB.

Electrical Properties: Teflon has a very low dielectric constant, which means that it can store less electrical energy than other materials commonly used in PCB manufacturing, such as FR-4. This low dielectric constant reduces the capacitance between the conductive traces on the PCB and between the conductive traces and the ground plane, which can reduce signal distortion and loss. In addition, the low dielectric constant of Teflon makes it an ideal material for high-frequency applications, such as microwave or RF circuits.

The low dissipation factor of Teflon is another key advantage of using it in the manufacturing of PCBs. Teflon has a very low dissipation factor, which means that it experiences minimal energy loss as heat during the transmission of AC signals through the PCB. This is because Teflon has a low electrical loss tangent, which indicates that it has a low amount of electrical energy loss.

Temperature and Weather Resistance: Owing to the robust mechanical properties of Teflon, it can withstand temperatures ranging from as low as -190 degrees to 400 degrees Celsius. This makes it resistant to extreme cold, heat, or even fires. Teflon’s resilience towards weather makes it an ideal PCB material that doesn’t have any constraints from a geographical point of view.

Adding to that, PTFE has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion. This means that Teflon experiences minimal dimensional changes when exposed to changes in temperature, which can cause other materials to expand or contract significantly.

Smooth and Frictionless Layers: Due to a very low coefficient of friction, the fabrication of one Teflon layer over the other becomes very smooth. It also means that it is resistant to physical wear and tear, hence widely used in mechanical industries where physical reactions are essential.

Physical Aspects: Teflon has excellent mechanical properties such as high stiffness, strength, and resistance to deformation, which contribute to its dimensional stability. PTFE is a highly crystalline polymer with a high degree of molecular orientation, which contributes to its stiffness and strength.

Moreover, Teflon has a low outgassing rate, which means that it releases minimal amounts of gas or vapors even when exposed to high temperatures or vacuum environments. This low outgassing rate is due to the high molecular weight and stability of the Teflon polymer.

Applications of Teflon PCBs in different industries

Teflon PCBs find their applications in various industries such as aerospace, defense, telecommunications, medical equipment, and more.

For instance, in the aerospace industry, Teflon PCBs are used in critical components of space exploration equipment, where high frequency, temperature resistance, and low outgassing properties are essential. In the medical industry, Teflon PCBs are used in medical imaging and diagnostic equipment that demand high precision and reliability. Similarly, in the telecommunications industry, Teflon PCBs are used in the manufacturing of high-speed communication equipment that requires low signal distortion and loss.

Therefore, Teflon PCBs have diverse applications in multiple industries, making them a valuable material for PCB manufacturing.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Teflon material offers various benefits that make it an ideal choice for the manufacturing of printed circuit boards. Its properties such as chemical inertness, low dielectric constant, high-temperature resistance, low dissipation factor, dimensional stability, and physical rigidity make it a preferred choice for applications demanding high frequency, temperature, and reliability. Additionally, weather resistance and low outgassing rate provide added advantages in various industries. Therefore, businesses can benefit from incorporating Teflon PCBs in their electronic products, as it enhances their durability, reliability, and performance.

this lone hose bib was leaky and serving multiple purposes

and i needed to run an automatic valve to water the new syrah vines, so it was time to remove it, replace it and add more

yeah my big crescent and yuge pipe wrench wouldn't budge any of it

so i finally put heat on one part to get it to expand slightly (and also burn out some ancient pipe dope compound) and it finally let go

i was hoping to get the coupling off but was only able to get the old bib off of it so i had to add a short nipple to connect the new stuff to the coupling

these days we use a teflon tape (not sticky just slippery) instead of dope to help the threaded parts together as best possible

when you put tape on, hold the tape roll in your left hand like this ^ and start with the tape going over the top of the threads - and then press the tape into the threads and rotate the part with the other hand (not pictured) so the part takes up the tape (to the right in this case) and apply light tension as you go - usually three wraps over all the thread you expect to be engaging into the other part.

the reason here is that the end of the tape is left such that it won't catch on the threads and unroll off the part

so let's take it off

i have a semi-permanent drip line that's going to be hooked up so it's in a shallow trench so it won't get tripped on. i put it through a piece of pvc pipe where it comes out of the ground so that a weed trimmer will be less likely to damage it

the final product

grapes going off to the left, another garden plot fed on the right, and general purpose hose connection on top

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Envelope Gasket

In the world of industrial processes, ensuring a leak-proof seal is paramount. Flanges, the bolted connections between pipes and equipment, often rely on gaskets to achieve this critical task. Among the various gasket types, envelope gaskets, also known as jacketed gaskets, have emerged as a reliable and versatile solution. But with an array of options available, selecting the bestenvelope gasket for your specific application can be a challenge.

This comprehensive guide empowers you to make informed decisions when choosing envelope gaskets. We'll delve into their key features, explore different materials and inlay options, and guide you through crucial selection factors.

Demystifying Envelope Gaskets: Design and Function

An envelope gasket comprises an envelope – a formed outer layer – typically constructed from a flexible and chemically resistant material like PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), also known as Teflon™. This envelope encases an inlay, a core element that provides structural strength and specific performance characteristics. The inlay material can vary depending on the application's pressure, temperature, and media compatibility requirements.

The envelope's design allows for a compression seal, where tightening the flange bolts compresses the gasket, creating a tight seal between the flanges. This compression also forces the inlay material to fill any minor imperfections on the flange surfaces, further enhancing leak prevention.

Advantages of Envelope Gaskets: Why They Stand Out

Envelope gaskets offer several advantages over traditional gasket materials like solid metal or spiral wound gaskets:

Superior Chemical Resistance: The PTFE envelope provides excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, making them ideal for applications involving harsh or corrosive media.

Enhanced Sealing Performance: The combination of a flexible envelope and a compressible inlay ensures a tighter seal, even under fluctuating pressure and temperature conditions.

Broad Temperature Range: PTFE's inherent heat resistance allows envelope gaskets to function effectively in extreme temperatures, both hot and cold.

Reduced Emissions and Leak Rates: The superior sealing properties minimize fugitive emissions, contributing to a cleaner and safer work environment.

Ease of Installation: The flexible design simplifies installation, reducing downtime during maintenance procedures.

Versatility: With various inlay options, envelope gaskets can be tailored to a wide range of applications.

Choosing the Right Envelope Gasket: Key Factors to Consider

Selecting the optimal envelope gasket requires careful consideration of several factors:

Application Requirements:

Pressure and Temperature: Ensure the chosen envelope gasket can withstand the expected pressure and temperature ranges of your application. Inlay materials like carbon steel or graphite offer high-pressure capabilities, while expanded PTFE inlays excel in high-temperature environments.

Media Compatibility: The gasket material must be compatible with the fluids or gases it will come into contact with. Consider chemical resistance charts and consult the manufacturer's recommendations for specific media compatibility.

Flange Type and Size:

Envelope gaskets come in various sizes and configurations to match different flange types and dimensions. Ensure proper fit for optimal sealing performance.

Inlay Material Selection: 

The inlay material plays a crucial role in the gasket's performance. Common inlay options include:

Carbon Steel: Provides excellent strength and high-pressure resistance for demanding applications.

Graphite: Offers a good balance of pressure resistance, chemical resistance, and heat dissipation.

Expanded PTFE: Ideal for high-temperature applications due to its excellent heat resistance and self-lubricating properties.

Non-metallic Inlays: Available in various materials like aramid fibers or mineral fillers for specific chemical compatibility needs.

Budget:  Envelope gaskets generally fall within a moderate price range compared to some other gasket types. However, the cost can vary depending on the size, material selection, and required pressure rating.

Pro Tip:  Always consult the gasket manufacturer's technical specifications and recommendations to ensure the chosen envelope gasket aligns perfectly with your application's demands.

Conclusion: Choosing the Envelope Gasket Champion for Your Needs

By understanding the key features, benefits, and selection factors of envelope gaskets, you are well-equipped to make informed decisions for your specific sealing requirements. Remember, consulting with a reputable envelope gasket manufacturer is always advisable. Their expertise can guide you through the selection process, ensuring you choose the best envelope gasket that delivers optimal performance and longevity in your application.
