#Weight capacity

[crewdlydrawn]

This comes into play when looking for office chairs / desk chairs, as well. The ones rated for more than 200-250 pounds are solidly double the price of lesser chairs. Products are not made to LAST nowadays, so they’re not made STRONG nowadays.

Here's something that a lot of thin people don't know about being fat: you have to be very careful, these days, what the weight limit on your furniture is. So much is made of particleboard or even cardboard or flimsy plastic, and it may be great for the environment for things to be made of recycled materials, but it can easily leave fat people in the incredibly humiliating situation of breaking a chair by sitting on it, or a table by leaning on it. It also creates an effective "fat tax" on furniture, since the more solid materials tend to cost more.

When I was looking for loft beds to make my apartment effectively larger, the majority of them had a weight limit of 200 pounds, including the weight of the mattress. That puts a weight limit on the person of roughly 150 pounds, and that presumes a light mattress. That's not taking into account blankets, pillows, and stuffies, which can easily rack up a weight of around ten to twenty pounds without much trouble, bringing the safe weight for a person down to roughly 140 to 130 pounds. The ones that held more than that had a steep increase in price, with ones that held 300 pounds costing roughly 600$ more than the 200 pound ones, and the 400 pound ones, which I wanted for tolerances, ran a good 800$ more on average than the ones for 200 pounds.

More generally, solid wood, metal, tempered glass, and thick, durable plastic cost more than particleboard, cardboard, and flimsy plastic. They are also far more likely to be safe for fat people to use.

If you are a thin person and want fat people to be comfortable when visiting you, invest in furniture that is clearly made with sturdy materials. Having to brush off standing the whole visit is embarrassing both for us and, if you are a host who cares about the comfort of guests, for you.

How to Select the Best Standing Rack

When looking for a standing rack, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind. First, consider what you'll be using the rack for. If you're simply looking for a way to store extra towels or linens, a basic rack will suffice. However, if you're looking for a rack to use for drying clothes, you'll want to make sure it's sturdy and has good ventilation.

Next, take a look at the size of the rack. You'll want to make sure it's large enough to accommodate the items you want to store or dry. It shouldn't, however, take up too much space in your home, so you should avoid buying one that's too large. 

Finally, consider the price. Folding racks can vary widely in price, so it's important to find one that fits within your budget. With a little bit of research, you should be able to find a great standing rack that meets all of your needs.

When it comes to choosing a standing rack, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind to select the best one for your needs. Here are a few points to consider:

1. Capacity

How much weight will you be storing on the rack? Make sure to choose a rack that can accommodate your needs. You can consider both volumetric capacity as well as weight capacity. You can choose a three-shelf, four-shelf, five-shelf, etc. but it is suggested to choose a rack with at least three shelves.

2. Stability

A folding rack should be stable and sturdy. Avoid any that seem flimsy or unstable.

3. Ease of use

Ensure that the rack is easy to assemble and disassemble. You'll want something quick and easy to use.

4. Portability

A lightweight and easy-to-transport rack is ideal if you plan to move it around a lot. Some folding racks come with wheels which makes them easy to move from one place to another.

5. Price

Don't forget to compare prices to get the best deal and also don’t compromise on the best quality.

Keep these points in mind when shopping for a Standing Rack and you'll be sure to choose the best one for your needs.

Ate 3-1/2lbs of rice pudding as part of my stomach capacity training, but after eating it I noticed my stomach began to bloat even more. Turns out it swells in my stomach. I’m in agony 😭

[everyones-bean19]

I finished the newtons and a bag of popcorn hehe. Another night of breathing heavy with an over stuffed gut.

Should I post some of the videos of me from last night?

Hello!!! This is my first post so just a lil intro

I’m Gael, and my guilt pleasures are belly stuffings, belly bloats, weight gain, and before and after bellies 🔮. I love getting all big and round and I LOVE food. Bellies are so hot in general. Eating until you’re absolutely stuffed is so hot.

Here’s where I’ll be mostly posting before and after of my belly and my gaining journey/capacity journey. I’m new to the feedee/gaining community let’s be mutuals !!! Looking to post my own content and encourage others in the community!!

[kurokoros]

One fundamental writing flaw with S4 is that it simply holds the viewers hand too much and overexplains things. Which is total normal for an early draft of a written project! In early drafts you tend to overwrite and give information that isn't needed simply because you're putting all of the pieces together in your head at the same time you're putting them into the story. The Duffers clearly had more time to revise S1 than they did S4, and it shows in the sloppy writing and too long runtime.

Take, for example, S1E08: The Upside Down in comparison to S4E06: The Dive and S4E07: The Massacre at Hawkins Lab. Specifically, take the scenes paralleling Steve going back into the house to save Nancy and Jonathan in comparison to Nancy, Robin, and Eddie going into the Upside Down to save Steve.

To be clear, I think this was a fantastic parallel made by the Duffers (Steve is being mauled by bats when a bat is what he used to save Nancy and Jonathan. It's clever, if a little on the nose). They're very good at paralleling previous events and calling back to their own plot points. In general, as the show has gone on, I think they're much better at over-arching ideas and thematic parallels than they are at crafting individual scenes, but that's a different post.

S1E08: The Upside Down is very snappy when it comes to Steve going back into the house. He runs outside. He fumbles with his keys. And then he turns back to the house and:

There's no dialogue here. We don't need anything more than this shot to know that Steve is going to go back into the house. Joe Keery's acting and prior setup do all of the heavy lifting here. The last we saw of Steve before he came to the Byers' to apologize to Jonathan is him arguing with Tommy H and Carol, which ends with Tommy H telling Steve to "run away like [he] always [does]." Steve has to go back into the house. The narrative tells us as much. This single shot tells us that it isn't up for debate. It isn't even really a choice. Steve is going back into the house.

And it's not a surprise when less than a minute later Steve saves Nancy and Jonathan . We don't need to actually see him run back towards the house, or pick up the bat. He doesn't need to say anything to announce his presence. The scene doesn't need to halt to dramatically reveal that Steve came back.

S4E06: The Dive and S4E07: The Massacre at Hawkins Lab have the same general premise of characters making a choice to put themselves in danger to save someone else. Unlike the scene in S1, this scene is overdramatic, played with an edge of comedy, and it gives us too much information.

Steve is dragged underwater and then--we get about almost a minute worth of clips showing Nancy, Robin, and Eddie all jumping into the water. And it's all filled with characters yelling about what just happened, and quippy dialogue ("She said wait!" "Yeah, I heard her." "She's in charge!" "Are you kidding me? I made that shit up." / "[indistinct swearing] This is so stupid!") as each character dramatically dives into the lake one by one.

We don't need this information. We already know that Nancy and Robin are going to jump into the lake. We know that Eddie is going to jump into the lake because they put him on the boat in the first place, and if he was really a coward he would have stayed on shore with the kids.

It's Chekhov's gun logic in both scenes. Steve is told to "run away like [he] always [does]" and we, the audience, know he won't run away despite being given the chance. Eddie gets on the boat to go towards the potential danger and we, the audience, know he isn't going to be the only one that doesn't jump into the water to save Steve. We don't need to be explicitly told this. This is almost a minute worth of scenes that we don't need. We don't need to see Nancy, Robin, and Eddie jumping into the lake, just like we didn't need to see Steve run back into the house and pick up the bat.

What's even more pointless to me is the dramatic entrance the Nancy, Robin, and Eddie make upon saving Steve:

One of the bats it hit and goes flying, and then the camera does a slow pan up Nancy, with Robin and Eddie standing behind her just waiting for the directing cue for them to do something, but first Nancy needs to drop a one liner ("Hey there."). I was going to try and gif Steve coming back to save Jonathan and Nancy for a comparison to this shot, but I couldn't. Because when Steve goes back into the house it's fast paced, there's no pointless dramatic pauses, and the scene is simply too chaotic to actually clip anything halfway decent. And that's good! That's how you make an action scene have weight and realism (and yes, you do need a degree of realism in shows, even if those shows are about sci-fi monsters).

And the problem with S4 is that every single scene is like this. The writing holds your hand through every shot. The directing is lacking. Every scene feels like it's 30 seconds to a minute too long. And the show feels like it's trying to be a Marvel movie, rather than Stranger Things.

What Are The Aspects To Consider While Buying Weighing Scale

A weighing scale or weighing machine is the most important equipment for any industry and business. So while making a purchase, it is advisable to consider all the aspects of it. These devices are used for measuring the load of an object or an individual with a predefined scale of measurements. It’s the precision, accuracy, and repeatability of the digital weighing scales that have given reliability to deploy in various places like manufacturers, sellers, retailers, shopkeepers, and homes. Weighing scales are available in many variants based on capacity, model, technology, and price. Measuring the capacity of the weighing scale ranges from a couple of micrograms to kilograms and even metric tons. Let’s discuss the features and specifications that one must consider for choosing a weighing scale.

Accuracy of Weighing Machine

Accuracy is the first and foremost key factor, which can set the worth of a weighing scale. Digital weighing scales are preferable as they're more accurate than analog scales. If you select an analog weighing scale, over some time, the responsiveness of the spring reduces and possibly will give inaccurate values. Counting on the accuracy requirements, the deviation of the size varies between 0.5 to 0.0001% of the particular value. For applications in construction and a few manufacturing industries where the deviation of weight value is accepted, scales with high accuracy are a waste of cash. In Industries like foundries and a few gross measurement applications, a deviation of about 0.5 Kg is accepted per 100 Kg.

Analog or Digital

The design of the analog weighing scale enables it to figure out mechanisms and mechanical advantages. Analog weighing scales generally provide less accuracy in measured values. Over some time, the accuracy and repeatability of the weighing scale reduce and become inaccurate. Analog weighing scales are suitable for brief-term weighing applications and don’t require a power supply to work. The planning and construction of digital weighing scales enable it to work on AC/DC or battery-operated power supply. Digital weighing scales use load cells like strain gauge load cells or resistance load cells to compute the load measurement. The electronic computing circuit inside the weighing scale converts the load measurement to appropriate units. It displays the measured weight within the alphanumeric display like a 7-segment display and LCD display.

Display Of Weighing Scale

The display feature of the weight machine shows the weight of the product and measurement values in a display. The display features options for displaying the measurement values in predefined precision. The display consists of single or double-sided displays for reading values from either side. Displays are available in simple seven-segment type displays or multi-color LED displays.

Weight Capacity

The weight capacity of the weighing machine is the deciding factor and key feature that a buyer considers foremost. These weighing machines are available in various weight capacities within the ranges from micrograms to several metric tons. Most weight machines are selected depending on the industry and accuracy requirements. For instance, in the pharmaceutical industry, the weighing balance with the measuring range of micrograms to a couple of kilograms is preferable. Generally, for grocery shops and other commercial applications, digital weighing scales up to 120-150 Kg will be perfect.

Material of Weighing Scale

The material for the weighing machine differs for various sorts of applications. For pharmaceuticals and jewelry weighing scales, it should be very compact and feature a plastic body and glass finish. Weighing machines utilized in grocery stores, feature a plastic or metal body to resist corrosion. in the case of weighing machines for weighing several hundred kilograms, like in steel trading shops and in bulk weighing applications, the weighing scale features a full metal body construction with the weighing platform fabricated with steel/iron plates and steel frames for the bottom. Weighing scales also feature an anti-skid base for grip and stability during loading and unloading or weighing processes.

Operational Environment

Weighing machines are utilized in various environments like in clean rooms, tabletops of business establishments, outdoors, in dusty and moist environments, etc. Waterproof models are available for weighing liquid or weighing during a waterlogged environment. Whereas, vibration-weighing scale models are available to be used in places where there is constant vibration and mechanical movement.

Computational feature

Digital weighing scales accompany automatic features like automatic off for power saving. Price computing scales provide the computed price of the load as per the number. Memory retention and other multifunction scales are available for various applications and may be customized for industry-specific.

Application Areas

Quality Assurance & Testing

Manufacturing industries

Counting of pieces

Shipping and logistics industries

Research & laboratory testing

For usage in retail shops, supermarkets, and meat shops, etc.

With the above-discussed points, one can have a clear idea for selecting a weighing scale that matches their requirements.

Did some more capacity training last night, crammed in a lot of fried chicken and potato waffles and some puddings and a bag of custard doughnuts. Tummy kept me up half the night because she was so sore and stretched.

I’m pretty sure my capacity is increasing, what would have floored me a few weeks ago is becoming a regular meal with room for desserts.

All I need is a feeder to test my limits 😈🐷

[knedliczech]

How could this possibly end up? .... Me 1 (heavily bloated belly) Food 0 (pcs left)! 😅 In need of belly rubs! 😍

[crowwsky]

holy fuck i’m stuffed. I wasn’t even intending to eat a lot at dinner either but now it’s super obvious that my stomach is sticking out and it’s so hot sitting here wondering if anybody is noticing it. I’m wearing a tank top that usually fits loosely and it’s skintight right now and i can’t stop feeling how big i am
