The Role of Gas Interlock Panels in Enhancing Safety
At the heart of every gas interlock system is the gas interlock panel. This control panel is responsible for monitoring the status of the ventilation system and controlling the gas supply. If a fault is detected, the panel immediately shuts off the gas, preventing potential hazards. The panel’s role is vital in ensuring that the interlock system functions correctly and efficiently.
Compliance with Safety Regulations through Gas Interlock Systems
In many regions, safety regulations mandate the use of gas interlock systems in commercial kitchens. These regulations are in place to protect both staff and customers from the dangers of gas leaks and inadequate ventilation. By installing a gas interlock system, businesses can ensure they are compliant with local laws and provide a safer environment for everyone.
Key Features of Modern Gas Interlock Systems
Modern gas interlock systems are equipped with various features designed to enhance safety and functionality. These include sensors that monitor air pressure and flow, alarms that alert users to faults, and manual override functions for emergencies. These features make gas interlock systems an indispensable part of any commercial kitchen’s safety protocol.
The Importance of Regular Maintenance for Gas Interlock Systems
To ensure that a gas interlock system continues to function correctly, regular maintenance is essential. This includes checking the integrity of the ventilation system, testing sensors and alarms, and ensuring that the gas interlock panel is operating as intended. Regular maintenance helps to prevent system failures and ensures that the kitchen remains a safe environment.
Integrating Gas Interlock Systems with Other Safety Measures
While gas interlock systems are critical, they should be part of a broader safety strategy. This strategy might include fire suppression systems, regular staff training, and the use of personal protective equipment. Integrating gas interlock systems with these additional safety measures ensures comprehensive protection against potential hazards.

635-637 Sports Car Arson Case & 638-640 Paper Airplane Kidnapping Case
To catch up a bit, here's what I skimmed and ultimately skipped:
625-627: Hammer Man Murder Case - a TakaSatou investigation 628-630: Poisonous Coffee Murder Case - generic case with Kogorou 631-634: Kaitou Kid and the Purple Nail Case - Kid steals a nice pair of shoes.
Not even a passing thought of Bourbon or Okiya in those.
Onto Okiya's next appearance!
Starts off as a generic DB camping trip/bbq/whatever case.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Agasa's car runs out of gas because poor planning, but it's probably fine because the next door neighbor graduate student probably has nothing better to do than drive for a couple hours to deliver gasoline. Too bad the phone's out of the service area.
Tumblr media
This has nothing to do with Okiya (although if you squint, he could be Okiya's evil twin), but wow what an asshole.
Tumblr media
My sudden realization that both of Okiya's first appearances also have Yuminaga.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That "someone" seems to be lurking around being not even a little bit suspicious.
We don't get much in the Sports Car Arson case, so I'm including the next one here, too.
Tumblr media
Are those five cases per day starting to wear on you, Conan?
Tumblr media
Bourbon mention! Finally, we're getting back on track. Ish.
Tumblr media
Rascal, huh? idk what the original word used here was, but rascal makes me laugh. I like it. Fits Bourbon. Not that I know who that is. Anyway, the reminder that Bourbon is a detective sort of character.
Tumblr media
Conan panicking because Ran's going over to Shinichi's house, where Okiya now resides.
Tumblr media
Can we talk about Ran bursting through the door of the washroom just because she thinks Shinichi's in there??? I know you've been friends since you were practically babies, but is the concept of privacy lost on you??
Tumblr media
Kudou Shinichi, ladies and gentlemen. Oh wait, no, that's just the resident grad student who loves engineering.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ran gets the drop on him. Supposedly. So, at this point, if I didn't know exactly what was going on, this could be one of two things: either Okiya really is just a random grad student and wasn't prepared to be attacked by Ran, thus couldn't have dodged. Or, he's pretending to be that and this sells his story.
Tumblr media
This is the really suspicious part. He didn't resist. Even someone who has no fighting skills would at least try to defend themselves, right? Put up his arms, try to block the kick, etc? So there's something going on there.
Tumblr media
This is also interesting. So Conan trusts Okiya enough to let him live in "Shinichi-niichan's" house but not enough to talk about Shinichi around him. Does not give off "trusted ally" vibes.
Tumblr media
Okiya Subaru, you are a 27-year-old adult. Surely you know how to cook, right?
Right?
Nope.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
All of this shows that Okiya has a bit of a detective thing going on. And who else do we know that is something of a detective? Bourbon! I've solved it, the pieces are all here. This guy's definitely Bourbon. Maybe.
Tumblr media
Does he??? (No, this one is genuine. What does this mean, Ran? Who does he look like? It never gets explained as far as I can tell. Was it just supposed to be a hint that Okyia is someone Ran has met before? Or is she commenting on Gosho's same face syndrome.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So Okiya is a detective at least on par with Shinichi. I'm taking notes.
Tumblr media
Has some at least basic knowledge of Morse Code.
Tumblr media
Okiya suspiciously inquiring about Shinichi. Obviously Ran subtly throws all suspicion away by saying that she said Kinichi, actually. They're different people. You wouldn't know him.
Tumblr media
So subtle. Also: Okiya's been snooping, and Conan has cleaned out anything related to Shinichi, it seems.
Tumblr media
Ran is also suspicious of Okiya, for some reason. Seems to be some kind of intuition beyond just Conan asking her not to mention Shinichi around him.
Tumblr media
He's left-handed. Adding that to the notes, I guess. I'm sure it's not relevant to anything either.
(Sidenote: I didn't include the panels because this is already getting long and they're not really adding anything new, but the parallels of side-by-side Okiya and Conan doing the same things is very cute.)
Tumblr media
Knowledge of both Japanese and English Morse Code.
Tumblr media
Does not want to be around the police, it seems. Also definitely believed Ran about the Kinichi-kun thing.
Tumblr media
Weird cropping on this one, but I needed to include Sonoko and Ran's commentary because it mentions that Okiya brought in the alcohol (and I found out there's a limit to the number of images I can have in the post). He wasn't just drinking Yuusaku's stash or something. So he specifically brought in some bourbon. Because he's Bourbon. Obviously. I've figured it out.

what are your hcs/theories on exactly how the primes are modified/drugged for their performance in trials? like what lets them tank bricks to the face and not be affected by the psychosis gas etc. and how much of that was successfullt performed on chalcan, and what was purposely left out like not making him immune to the gas?
Ah,, I'm so glad that you've asked. I have a few, actually !
The first one of course being that I believe the Experimental Population are given a series of injections and medications to make them immune to the psychosis gas and all its forms (because, if you remember, the pushers all create their own version of the concoction, so I like to think Murkoff is covering all their bases rather than offering one shot for one version of said concoction.)
As for bottles and bricks, I think the bottles are just,,, completely normal, HOWEVER, THOSE DAMN BRICKS ?? I fully believe that they're made of clay, just like that of a regular brick, but I also believe that the density of those bricks is greatly reduced (Why else would they break so easily when coming into contact with something as soft as a human ?). Now, I don't think they're PORCELAIN fragile or anything, but it's definitely not a fully fledged brick. It's enough to make your teeth click together but not enough to crack your skull in, y'know ?
I imagine that there's some form of grounding padding implanted into the soles of their feet, as well, to help them from being electro stimulated by Leland Coyle's floor traps I believe that they're given an injection of some sort- or maybe even a form of mild paint, to 'hide' them from Gooseberry's Futterman bombs. Ultimately I'm not too sure on this one solely because I haven't decided how I want to view her traps actually DETECTING nearby targets.
For the laser tripwires... I imagine they're left to fend for themselves lmfao. The Experimental Population is vulnerable to them, and the game can't tell me otherwise, because there is NO WAY IN HELL that I can justify them being able to laser-proof the human body without causing permanent changes.
I would also like to take this time to mention that I am 100% ignoring Red Barrels' hatred of me when I say that the Ex Pop (at least the Prime Assets) ABSOLUTELY get a bulkier outfit for Cold Snap trials, and that Ex-Pop get Gas Masks for the Toxic Shock (I know I could just say they get injections again but unfortunately envisioning my pretty boyfriend in a gas mask gets my engine running so,,,, gas mask.)
As for Chalcanthite, this is a complete list of the obstacles and what he's vulnerable to:
Electric Panel Shock Traps: Weak Dr. Futterman Explosive Toy: Immune Laserwire: Vulnerable Psychosis Mines: Weak Door Traps: Immune Cold Snap: Immune (Has been since he was a reagent) Toxic Shock: Immune (Due to provided gas mask) Reagent Thrown Brick / Bottle: Immune (Unless Specific Criteria are met)

From Design to Deployment: How Switchgear Systems Are Built
Tumblr media
In the modern world of electrical engineering, switchgear systems play a critical role in ensuring the safe distribution and control of electrical power. From substations and factories to commercial buildings and critical infrastructure, switchgear is the silent guardian that protects equipment, ensures safety, and minimizes power failures.
But have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes, from the idea to the actual installation? Let’s dive into the full journey — from design to deployment — of how a switchgear system is built.
Step 1: Requirement Analysis and Load Study
Every switchgear project begins with requirement analysis. This includes:
Understanding the electrical load requirements
Calculating voltage levels, short-circuit ratings, and operating current
Identifying environmental conditions: indoor, outdoor, temperature, humidity
Reviewing applicable industry standards like IEC, ANSI, or DEWA regulations (especially in UAE)
This stage helps engineers determine whether the project needs low voltage (LV), medium voltage (MV), or high voltage (HV) switchgear.
Step 2: Conceptual Design & Engineering
Once the requirements are clear, the conceptual design begins.
Selection of switchgear type (air insulated, gas insulated, metal-enclosed, metal-clad, etc.)
Deciding on protection devices: MCCBs, ACBs, relays, CTs, VTs, and fuses
Creating single-line diagrams (SLDs) and layout drawings
Choosing the busbar material (copper or aluminum), insulation type, and earthing arrangements
Software like AutoCAD, EPLAN, and ETAP are commonly used for precise engineering drawings and simulations.
Step 3: Manufacturing & Fabrication
This is where the physical structure comes to life.
Sheet metal is cut, punched, and bent to form the panel enclosures
Powder coating or galvanizing is done for corrosion protection
Assembly of circuit breakers, contactors, protection relays, meters, etc.
Internal wiring is installed according to the schematic
Every switchgear panel is built with precision and must undergo quality control checks at each stage.
Step 4: Factory Testing (FAT)
Before deployment, every switchgear unit undergoes Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) to ensure it meets technical and safety standards.
Typical FAT includes:
High-voltage insulation testing
Continuity and phase sequence testing
Functionality check of all protection relays and interlocks
Mechanical operations of breakers and switches
Thermal imaging to detect hotspots
Only after passing FAT, the switchgear is cleared for shipping.
Step 5: Transportation & Site Installation
Transportation must be handled with care to avoid damage to components. At the site:
Panels are unloaded and moved to their final location
Cabling and bus duct connections are established
Earthing systems are connected
Environmental sealing is done if installed outdoors or in dusty environments
Step 6: Commissioning & Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)
This final stage ensures the switchgear is ready for live operation.
Final checks and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT) are performed
System integration is tested with other components like transformers, UPS, and generators
Load tests and trial runs are conducted
Commissioning report is generated, and documentation is handed over to the client
Conclusion
From idea to execution, the journey of building a switchgear system is highly technical, safety-driven, and precision-based. Whether you’re in power generation, industrial automation, or commercial construction, understanding this process ensures you choose the right system for your needs.

Survey finds more hidden supermassive black holes than expected
Multiple NASA telescopes recently helped scientists search the sky for supermassive black holes—those up to billions of times heavier than the sun. The new survey is unique because it was as likely to find massive black holes that are hidden behind thick clouds of gas and dust as those that are not.
Astronomers think that every large galaxy in the universe has a supermassive black hole at its center. But testing this hypothesis is difficult because researchers can't hope to count the billions or even trillions of supermassive black holes thought to exist in the universe. Instead they have to extrapolate from smaller samples to learn about the larger population. So accurately measuring the ratio of hidden supermassive black holes in a given sample helps scientists better estimate the total number of supermassive black holes in the universe.
The new study published in The Astrophysical Journal found that about 35% of supermassive black holes are heavily obscured, meaning the surrounding clouds of gas and dust are so thick they block even low-energy X-ray light.
Comparable searches have previously found less than 15% of supermassive black holes are so obscured. Scientists think the true split should be closer to 50/50 based on models of how galaxies grow. If observations continue to indicate significantly less than half of supermassive black holes are hidden, scientists will need to adjust some key ideas they have about these objects and the role they play in shaping galaxies.
Hidden treasure
Although black holes are inherently dark—not even light can escape their gravity—they can also be some of the brightest objects in the universe: When gas gets pulled into orbit around a supermassive black hole, like water circling a drain, the extreme gravity creates such intense friction and heat that the gas reaches hundreds of thousands of degrees and radiates so brightly it can outshine all the stars in the surrounding galaxy.
The clouds of gas and dust that surround and replenish the bright central disk may roughly take the shape of a torus, or doughnut. If the doughnut hole is facing toward Earth, the bright central disk within it is visible; if the doughnut is seen edge-on, the disk is obscured.
Most telescopes can rather easily identify face-on supermassive black holes, though not edge-on ones. But there's an exception to this that the authors of the new paper took advantage of: The torus absorbs light from the central source and reemits lower-energy light in the infrared range (wavelengths slightly longer than what human eyes can detect). Essentially, the doughnuts glow in infrared.
These wavelengths of light were detected by NASA's Infrared Astronomical Satellite, or IRAS, which operated for 10 months in 1983 and was managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. A survey telescope that imaged the entire sky, IRAS was able to see the infrared emissions from the clouds surrounding supermassive black holes. Most importantly, it could spot edge-on and face-on black holes equally well.
For a given line-of-sight column density, each panel shows the fraction of detected hard 14–195 keV flux relative to the escaping flux at the minimum column density allowed by each model (NH,0). Credit: The Astrophysical Journal (2024). DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad8236
IRAS caught hundreds of initial targets. Some of them turned out to be not heavily obscured black holes but galaxies with high rates of star formation that emit a similar infrared glow. So the authors of the new study used ground-based, visible-light telescopes to identify those galaxies and separate them from the hidden black holes.
To confirm edge-on, heavily obscured black holes, the researchers relied on NASA's NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array), an X-ray observatory also managed by JPL. X-rays are radiated by some of the hottest material around the black hole. Lower-energy X-rays are absorbed by the surrounding clouds of gas and dust, while the higher-energy X-rays observed by NuSTAR can penetrate and scatter off the clouds. Detecting these X-rays can take hours of observation, so scientists working with NuSTAR first need a telescope like IRAS to tell them where to look.
"It amazes me how useful IRAS and NuSTAR were for this project, especially despite IRAS being operational over 40 years ago," said study lead Peter Boorman, an astrophysicist at Caltech in Pasadena, California. "I think it shows the legacy value of telescope archives and the benefit of using multiple instruments and wavelengths of light together."
Numerical advantage
Determining the number of hidden black holes compared to nonhidden ones can help scientists understand how these black holes get so big. If they grow by consuming material, then a significant number of black holes should be surrounded by thick clouds and potentially obscured. Boorman and his co-authors say their study supports this hypothesis.
In addition, black holes influence the galaxies they live in, mostly by impacting how galaxies grow. This happens because black holes surrounded by massive clouds of gas and dust can consume vast—but not infinite—amounts of material. If too much falls toward a black hole at once, the black hole starts coughing up the excess and firing it back out into the galaxy. That can disperse gas clouds within the galaxy where stars are forming, slowing the rate of star formation there.
"If we didn't have black holes, galaxies would be much larger," said Poshak Gandhi, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom and a co-author on the new study. "So if we didn't have a supermassive black hole in our Milky Way galaxy, there might be many more stars in the sky. That's just one example of how black holes can influence a galaxy's evolution."

DCxDP Week 2023 Day 2
Day 2: Danny Fenton | Full Hazmat AU | Fear Gas
Continuation of Day One
John was bored out of his mind, but he needed to pretend to be paying attention as whichever Green Lantern this was droned on and on about something Constantine didn’t care about. The Bat had been after him more often, asking him questions about Dani ever since they met in the House. John wasn’t exactly down with Batman investigating his kid, so he took to escaping as soon as the opportunity arose. Unfortunately, this just led to Batman trying to find him everytime John was in the vicinity.
The Green Lantern stopped for a questions, and John was ready to breathe a sigh of relief that it was almost over, when alarms started going off.
“Ecto-entity detected approaching Watchtower. Readying offensive measures.”
Batman pulled up the monitors, and John immediately recognized Dani in her ghost form.
“Shut down the counter-measures!” he shouted, Batman immediately backing him up to Flash, who turned them off. John and Batman rushed to one of the rooms with windows, hoping Dani would get the message and meet them where they were visible, ignoring whether or not the rest of the Justice League followed. 
As hoped, Dani phased through the window and rushed towards John.
“Dad! Dad! It’s Danny! He hasn’t been answering his phone, so I went to Metropolis to see Jazz, but she hadn’t heard from him either! So she’s going to Amity to see if she can figure out what’s going on and I thought, well maybe we need an adultier-adult but you’re the adultiest adult I know who can help!” Dani sucked in a huge breath when she had finished getting her words out in a rush.
“Alright, alright, I’ll head over there right away to look for your brother. But, I want you to stay out of there, love do you hear me? I know you’d want to help your brother, but if something’s gone topsy-turvy in a ghost way we need you to keep your distance so you’re safe, yeah?”
“She can stay up here.” Batman grunted. “I’ll go with you, and we can keep her updated.”
Dani looked hesitantly over at the other heroes before looking back at Batman. “You’ll give me updates the whole time?”
“Hmm” Batman grunted, giving her a slight nod.
“Ok…”
Seeing she was prepared to stay at the Watchtower, John turned to Batman. “Let me get some anti-overshadowing spells on you, just in case, then we can head out.”
“I got eyes on the last lab technician, looks like he’s just about to leave and then we should just have to worry about the guards.” Red Robin reported to his teammates. Impulse was bouncing around impatiently, while Superboy was using his enhanced vision to keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. Wonder Girl was sitting closer to their chosen entrance, keeping an eye out for anyone who might spot them when they enter.
They had been casing out the DEO facility ever since Secret told them she suspected they were holding an entity hostage again. She had sat this mission out, but the rest were ready to get the drop on the facility tonight and rescue anyone that might be being held captive, as well as figure out which organization the DEO was apparently collaborating with.
The group began sneaking their way towards Wonder Girly, who was now holding the roof-paneling up. They dropped down into the empty warehouse’s rafters, keeping silent so as not to alert the guards that were patrolling the inside.
“There, far corner, just like RR said,” Impulse pointed to a door that was guarded by two men. Every other guard was occupied with patrolling the warehouse. The team steadily made their way towards the door, keeping quiet, but moving quickly.
Once they reached the door, Red Robin noticed a grate at the same level as the rafters, which seemed to lead directly into the next room. He silently pointed it out to his teammates, who exchanged confused looks with each other. They decided to risk it anyway, if it meant they could avoid having to take out the guards at the door.
The crawled through, and landed in front of a containment unit filled with gas. Red Robin and Impulse immediately headed towards the computers to get any information they could about what was going on, while Superboy and Wonder Girl took a look around the rest of the lab to figure out if they could find whoever Secret told them about.
Red Robin finally spoke, breaking the quiet. “It looks like they were experimenting with the effects of fear gas on…something. I think I can siphon the fear gas on the containment unit.
“Well, do it.” Wonder Girl said, as she and Superboy turned to face the containment unit.
Red Robin clicked a couple buttons, and the four teens gathered around to watch the gas siphon out of the containment unit, revealing a small figure lying prone on the floor. 
“I think it should be safe to go in now.” Red Robin said. Impulse and Superboy were already figuring out how to get the chamber open. As soon as the door opened, Wonder Girl and Superboy approached to pick up the child.
He had white hair, and they could see green lights below his eyelids, though they never opened. His breathing was shallow, and his heartbeat slow.
“He’s so tiny… He can’t be older than 5 or 6.” Superboy said, making sure he was settled properly in Wonder Girl’s arms.
“Let’s get out of here, quickly. I’ll set charges to blow up everything, and Impulse can help me get out.” Red Robin said, indicating the vent again.
“On it.” Superboy and Wonder Girl crawled through the vent again, making their way across the rafters to their initial entry point. Red Robin and Impulse followed soon after, and they left together as a team.
When they were a few rooftops away, Red Robin triggered the charges, and they watched the facility go up in flames.
“Mmmm… Where a’ I..?” They turned to face the kid, who was staring at them sleepily.
“Hey, you’re alright. You’re safe now.” Superboy told him. The boy didn’t seem to register the words, and fell back asleep.
“We should get him back to the Watchtower now.” Wonder Girl said. The team quickly made their way to the zeta tubes, and to the medical section, where the boy was taken for observation.
Secret approached them as they were watching the medical team take stock of the boy. “Thanks,” she said. They all turned in silence, to watch as doctors and nurses rushed around, taking the boy's vitals.
“Of course.”
A/N:
Was more tired than I though, lol, took way longer than expected to finish this.
Still hoping to get at least one more day's prompts in to continue this, but don't know if I'll continue using dpxdc week prompts to finish the story

OK one good thing that I loved about Fitzmartin's writing of Bernard in this issue was that he's just some fucking guy. Like he's always been some fucking guy pre and post n52 but he's some guy with a lot of charisma and it's weird kind of charisma that specifically works on Gothamites (yeah he hasn't actually met anyone else that isn't from Gotham but I fucking know I'm right)
So seeing that panel with Bernard leading a group of boat queers, emotionally unstable bat vigilantes, and Detective Williams and Darcy gave me just so much validation. Because I can absolutely see him in this kind of role again, gathering up random Gothamites, whether he knows they're vigilantes or not, and just leading/working with them???
And just putting it out there, I think it would be a great way to reintroduce some forgotten gothamites like colin wilkes or the ga kids

- our story begins with our faithful hero having been dragged into a fancy party. His first line is essentially him thinking I really want to go home... Because it's Aesop Carl who made him go here
- he's new to the ulliel family so people are excited to meet him, he gets overwhelmed (with a really neat panel of a bunch of buttons staring at him to represent eyes that's so cool stylistically) and is like "sorry I'm drunk please excuse me" and rushes outside to go throw up or something
- there he meets rosemary who's a supervisor of ulliel but she's like. a ghost and ominously tells him for the sake of ulliel he can't run away and then [gatto's trailer says "become ulliels nourishment" so I'm gonna just say that's what she said it's basically the same thing]
- anyway Gatto passes the fuck out gets woken up by his cats (in his coffin which I guess he just sleeps in) and is like wow I must have been drunk last night time to go to work
- he finds that he's been gifted a research lab to fuck around in (there's this like eternal youth drug ulliel wants to make or something so he's doing that) and there's a letter that's like Here's all your shit don't take too long
- montage of that over an unknown length of time before Gatto accidentally causes an explosion in the lab oh fuck!!! He dives to protect the cats after telling them to leave quickly which is really sweet of him
- he's more concerned about the cats than his wellbeing and is like oh I didn't bring my gas mask to work. How unfortunate. He thinks he's perfected the youth drug though
- he passes the fuck out yet again and in comes noir who is an adopted son of the Melodis family!! He steals the remnants of gatto's fucked experiment and is like whew that was easy. This guy made it really hard because he never goes outside though.
- Also there's a shot of the cats climbing onto Gatto really concerned about him that's cute
- anyway fade to black i think they're gonna destroy the lab
- "Hey, wake up." (who the fuck is that) "Are you dead? Don't play dead, open your eyes!" (you're so loud...) "Hm, little cat, look at this fellow who's pretending to be asleep! Maybe I can wake him up with my electroshock therapy device!" (What) "3... 2..." "WAIT-" "oh yay you're awake!"
- anyway paradetective is here now!! I'm 70% sure he was bluffing but he did have something actively sparking in his hand so
- he's like "wow you sleep well! Hm... your hypoglycaemia symptoms are affecting you. Let's eat something!"
- Gatto only owns cat food and coffee. Para comments that he's probably worse at surviving than even him! And then goes to get groceries while Gatto so like oh shit right my lab blew up
- Gatto cannot find his experiment and immediately spirals into a breakdown
- Para comes back with the groceries and attempts to get Gatto's attention, asking if he's alright, Gatto snaps and accuses para of stealing it before breaking down and saying he just needs more time please—
- "HEY WOAH I'M PARANORMAL DETECTIVE SNAP OUT OF IT" "oh- investigator ? Sorry, I was confused.... I'm fine, just a bit exhausted....."
- para does not comment on how bad that excuse is but decides to distract him like soooooo anyway you wanna know why I came here? Here are some blueprints I made do you like them I've written you a bunch of letters but you never responded
- distraction tactic works
- while they're cleaning up para is like "Oh yeah btw is ulliel doing illegal shit? Everything here is so suspicious I'm worried about your safety" and Gatto responds by saying that ulliel are essentially the only people who have been nice to him after his horrible childhood and that this is his only chance. Which isn't a no but is worrying as fuck
- gatto starts spiraling again and defends/preaches about ulliel while simultaneously being very conflicted about all this in his head (which he tries to smother)
- para is like ahh I don't. Know how to deal with all that. Well I don't have any evidence but please be suspicious
- time jump, Gatto finds out about truth and Inference and is like I should probably get help from these guys if I am truly mistaken
Anyway manga end yayy
Bro has DEFINITELY been through some shit... My god that poor guy...

I am St Canard’s #1 superhero/detective, Darkwing Duck!! It can be difficult to meet an amazing avenger such as myself, so that’s why I created this blog! To make it easier for the people to connect with their favorite superhero! While Darkwing is speaking, Gosalyn is copying whatever they do and Launchpad is trying not to laugh. The crime fighter does not notice her at all.
I’m a pretty busy hero in my fight against the fiendish foes that plague our fair city, though I will do my best to reply to everyone as soon as possible! A- Darkwing is interrupted by the pilot's giggling
What’s got you laughing so much LP? Darkwing says with an unamused expression.
Ugh wait don’t tell me you crashed into one of the shelves and a canister of laughing gas went off again? Darkwing face palmed. Gosalyn does the same, but more dramatically. Heh heh nah its not that, Deedubya!
Well what is it Launchpad?! I’m dying to know what could be so funny that caused you to interrupt my intro! Darkwing crossed his arms, looking very impatient and annoyed. Gosalyn copies him. Haha you might wanna turn around!
DW turns around and sees Gos, she waves at him. Hey Darkwing!!
G-I mean little girl I do not know, what are you doing here?! Shouldn’t you be at home doing something like uhh homework!? Got bored and wanted to hang out with you guys!

How Do I Fix Minor Cracks in Sunroom Glass Panels?
If you’re reading this, it’s likely that you cherish your sunroom as a delightful extension of your home—an oasis where you can relax with a book, enjoy a cup of coffee, or gather with friends while surrounded by nature. However, minor cracks in your sunroom glass panels can be a frustrating distraction that undermines the comfort and aesthetics of your space. But don't worry! Fixing those cracks can be simpler than you think. In this guide, you’ll learn how to address minor glass issues in your sunroom and keep your outdoor living space looking pristine.
Understanding Your Sunroom Glass Panels
Before diving into the repair process, it's essential to understand the types of glass typically used in sunrooms. Most sunroom glass panels are made from tempered or insulated glass. Tempered glass is designed to withstand impact and temperature changes, making it a popular choice for sunrooms. Insulated glass panels, on the other hand, are made from two layers of glass separated by a space filled with argon gas, which enhances energy efficiency while providing insulation.
Assessing the Damage
The first step in repairing your sunroom glass panels is to assess the extent of the damage. Minor cracks are often cosmetic and may not affect the structural integrity of the glass. However, it's vital to address them promptly to prevent further damage, such as leaks or shattering. Here’s how to evaluate the damage:
Examine the crack: Look at the crack closely. Is it a small hairline fracture, or is it larger? Hairline cracks may be repaired easily, while larger cracks might necessitate professional help.
Check for leaks: After rainfall or if you live in a humid area, inspect for water pooling or leaks. Even minor cracks can allow moisture to seep in, potentially causing mold and mildew.
Consider the glass type: Knowing whether your glass is tempered or insulated will influence your repair options.
Repairing Minor Cracks in Sunroom Glass Panels
Once you've assessed the damage, it’s time for action. Here’s a step-by-step guide to repairing minor cracks in your sunroom glass panels.
1. Gather Your Materials
To effectively fix minor cracks, you'll need:
Glass repair kit (available at hardware stores)
A utility knife or glass cutter
A clean cloth
Isopropyl alcohol
Safety goggles and gloves
2. Clean the Area
Before applying any repair materials, it’s crucial to clean the area around the crack. Use a cloth dipped in isopropyl alcohol to remove dust and debris from the crack. This step ensures that the adhesive or resin will bond effectively to the glass.
3. Apply the Glass Repair Resin
Follow the instructions provided with your glass repair kit. Typically, this involves:
Mixing the resin according to the kit instructions.
Using the applicator to fill the crack with the resin, ensuring it seeps into the damaged area thoroughly.
Removing any excess resin that seeps out of the crack.
4. Cure the Repair
Allow the resin to cure as directed in the kit. This usually involves exposing the repair to sunlight or using a UV light, which helps harden the resin and strengthen the repair. Be patient and avoid touching the area until it is fully cured.
5. Finish the Repair
After the resin has fully cured, you may need to scrape off any excess with a utility knife or glass cutter for a smooth finish. If desired, you can polish the area for an extra touch of clarity.
Preventing Future Cracks in Your Sunroom
Now that you’ve tackled those minor cracks, it’s wise to take preventive measures to avoid future issues. Here are some tips:
Regular Inspections: Periodically check your sunroom for any signs of wear, including cracks or discoloration. Early detection can save you from more extensive repairs later.
Temperature Control: If your sunroom experiences extreme temperature fluctuations, consider installing window treatments or thermal blinds to protect the glass.
Proper Maintenance: Clean your glass panels regularly and avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch and weaken the glass over time.
When to Call in the Professionals
While fixing minor cracks can often be a DIY project, there are situations where it’s best to call a professional. If the crack is extensive, if you notice signs of structural damage, or if you’re uncomfortable with the repair process, don’t hesitate to reach out to a specialist. They can ensure that the job is done safely and effectively.
Conclusion
A sunroom is a beautiful addition to any home, providing a serene space to enjoy the outdoors while being sheltered from the elements. By addressing minor cracks in your glass panels promptly, you can maintain the beauty and functionality of your sunroom for years to come.
If you’re considering enhancing your outdoor living space even further, custom sunrooms are a versatile and stylish option to explore. They offer year-round comfort, protection from the elements, and can significantly enhance your home's value.

The AMX-56 Leclerc is a tank that was first produced in 1992 by France, and it is considered (not just by me) to be one of the best combat tank designs, despite being untested. The tank is 9.87 meters (32.4 feet) long, 3.71 meters (12.2 feet) wide, and 2.53 meters (8.3 feet) high. It weighs around 54,500 kilograms (120,152 pounds), or about 60.1 tons. 
The main gun is the 120mm GIAT CN120-26/52. This gun has 5 main types of ammunition: 120mm Armour-Piercing projectiles, 120mm High-Explosive projectiles, APFSDS (Armour-Piercing, Fin-Stabilized, Discarding Sabot) rounds, and HEAT (High-Explosive, Anti-Tank) rounds. For actual shooting, it has a fully automatic fire control system, which is aided by nightvision, laser rangefinder, and FINDERS. FINDERS (Fast Information, Navigation, Decision, and Reporting System) provides a map that can show the soldiers current active targets, route planning, and figure out if someone is friend or foe. 
It's also unique because it has a 12.7mm GIAT M693 coaxial heavy machine gun, while coaxial machine guns are usually 7.62 mm. It also can hold 27 smoke grenade dischargers, which are part of the GALIX CVPS (combat vehicle protection system). Despite all the heavy machinery, it has a relatively low profile design, which makes it super hard to spot on the battle field!!
It can hold 40 120mm rounds total for the GIAT CN120-26/52. This ammunition is set away from the main seating and protected by blast panels, which makes sure the crew is safe in case the ammunition gets hit by an enemy. It can also hold 1,100 12.7mm rounds, and 3,000 7.62 rounds! 
To add to crew safety, it has an internal automatic fire suppression system, which detects and can put out fires. There's also a NBC system (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) to help with airborne diseases. 
The actual tank is made of NERA, Non-explosive/Non-energetic Reactive Armour. The entire tank is powered by a SACM UDU V8X T9 Hyperbar 8-cylinder diesel fuel engine with 1500 horsepower, while the average car has about 200 horsepower :333 The engine is also tied to a SESM ESM500 series automatic transmission system, which let's the tank reach speed of 44 mph on ideal surfaces. It has an operational range of 340 miles, but can be extended to 400 miles through extra fuel source. When idle, it switches to a Turbomeca TM-7083 gas turbine engine, which minimizes the auditory and visual signals. 
Despite this tank being fucking awesome, it hasn't really been used in actual combat!! Only about 862 AMX-56 Leclerc tanks have been manufactured so far, and they mostly stay in France and the UAE :333
Holy- THAT IS SO DAMN COOL??? HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS??? EUFHSJ TYSM 4 TELLING MEEE ICISNFNS

RQG 143 Separation Anxiety
The party is split... under the ocean, mad GM [in the game 😉]
Shoin taunts about not being able to see, should relocate... Zolf, Azu, Cel plan to levitate through the room of dancing mannequins. Gas is heavy
Oh great move! They scoop the heavy gas into bags of holding, enough to leave a space near the ceiling (Zolf closes the vents)
The puppet dancers keep twerking and spinning and knives come out while they spin - obviously what did in the body in the corner, and by the wall, and there's the head over there
Searching the body - beautiful old adamantine ax, healing potion, and fur clothing with "property of Shoin" tags... remember the clothes made for the party?!
Meanwhile Hamid and Skraak make their way down the tunnel avoiding more tripwires, Entrapment style. End up in a room with a tank in the middle with two fierce looking sea creatures in it. Complicated trap on the next door seems to dismantle the tank, terrible painful noise, water starts coming in - into a room set up like a chessboard with a body in the middle
Back to party, they walk through a corridor of water and see through the walls what might be a giant robot tentacle monster moving around the domes of the complex - moving along a travelator
Back to chess room, look at the body - Detect Magic = Cloak of Elvenkind and a Stalking Dagger (major bonus after studying a situation). Speakers have been smashed, scorch marks, looks like person came through a wall panel
Back to Travelator of Doom of Teamwork - there are murals on the wall as they go past, from well crafted at the beginning to just stuck together at the end. Complex, and tunnel, isn't looking good. Zolf happens to look up and sees a huge shape coming down right toward the top of the tunnel - Run!
Heavy impact - shredded remains of a maHOOsive blue whale hits the glass.

We're in. And we are making bad choices.
For the record, I'm pretty sure that whoever attacked us slipped out the door into the panel room and is now hiding behind the giant vault door we had to open to get in here. But, just like Desuhiko wouldn't let us disarm security, Yuma won't let us go back out into the panel room and check.
Fink the Slaughter Artist is right there, guys.
Tumblr media
Got stabbed. Three times, as a matter of fact, judging from the wounds in his back.
Honestly, as Slaughter Art goes, I'm disappointed. Fink had ample time and this whole room to use as his canvas. "On floor stabbed by knife" is about as mediocre of a presentation as it gets.
You're gonna have to step up your game, Fink. Check out the Nail Man crime scenes some time. Now that is dedication to the craft. I'm sorry but as a critic, I'm going to have to give this piece my lowest score ever: 76.5/100.
Tumblr media
About fucking time. That's what I wanted to do a minute ago and you were like, "NOOOO We gotta check the body!"
We could be in there right now checking the body if you hadn't stopped me.
Tumblr media
OH BY WE YOU MEAN "YOU'. Okay man. Nice to see the limits to your bravado are shining through again.
I mean that affectionately. I said back at Aetheria Academy that I get it: Desuhiko's job is undercover intelligence gathering. He doesn't work homicides. That's fair. I won't fault him for it.
But it's funny.
Tumblr media
Okay, I can breathe. We'll be able to access the crime scene without choking to death on poison gas now. And I still think Fink is hiding behind that big metal door, so we might manage to corner them.
If they don't have an alternate point of exit then they have to get past us somehow. As long as we're thorough and don't rush to the scene like idiots, this should work out.
Tumblr media
There goes that idea. If Fink isn't behind the door, then where the hell are they? That knife didn't levitate itself into Huesca's back three times.
I mean, it could have. Superpowers exist. But it didn't. He reacted to the presence of another human being in the room with him, so the killer was physically present. Somehow.
Tumblr media
Super dead.
I'm intrigued by the whiteboard back there. It's possible that it's like that from use, but someone also might have done that to erase... something they didn't want made. If only there was a way to see what it looked like before.
...if we brought Halara here, they could use their Postcognition to see what the crime scene looked like at the moment the first witness laid eyes on it. Which would be....
Us! That would be us. Halara can use Postcognition to make this room resemble what it looks like right now, as we speak.
...
Okay, that's not going to be very useful. Especially when Shinigami can do the same thing.
Tumblr media
I mean. Like. Almost half of the killings were me. So. I'm at a 7 victim body-count versus 11 victims not killed by me. Not counting the two Peacekeeper goons that Yomi had executed for failure.
If it makes you feel better, there's about to be more once Shinigami and I figure out whodunit.
Tumblr media
Excuse you, Shinigami. My corpse-production rate is also probably unparalleled within the WDO. I've certainly killed way more people than any Master Detective I've met to date. Well, except maybe Halara.
Tumblr media
Oh, this will look good on our rap sheet. Everyone, prepare to say hihi to Yomi when he walks on. I want us all to give him our biggest smiles and most pleasant waves, like there's absolutely nothing wrong with this scene at all.
He won't be fooled for a second but he'll certainly be taken aback by it, and that will be a funny sight before we die.
...actually, on second thought, maybe we could rearm security. Close the door, turn the traps back on, and let Yomi tear out his hair trying to figure out how to pry us out of here. Then we can take our time investigating the death.
Tumblr media
Nope, too late. Plan A then.
HIHI BUDDY! How are you? I'm swell! :D
Tumblr media
The latter, as a matter of fact. Good guess, man. I can't even begin to try and defend myself when we all know I'll be going 8-to-12 by the time the sun rises again over Kanai Ward.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yuma, we should probably go with that plan. We can buy time for Halara to get here by... whatever method Yakou did and then kick everyone's ass.
Tumblr media
Oooh, a party! We should definitely go along with that plan! I've been wanting a party since we first got to the sub. Maybe there'll be cupcakes.
Wait, no, these guys are fascists. Sprinkled donuts. The monsters.
Tumblr media
HA! Distraction! I recognize that shrieking voice. The guy "dying in agony" outside is Yakou.
Watch for our chance to bail, guys.
Tumblr media
DON'T TELL YOMI, YOU DIPSHIT. Oh my god. All that effort to create a convincing distraction and Desuhiko blurts out, "LOOK, HE'S DISTRACTING YOMI!!!"
Yuma, I know you're generally non-violent except for all the murders but slap him.
Tumblr media
Oh hey, it's my CTU plan! Throw Desuhiko at them and run like hell! Fubuki, Yuma, this is our chance!
Tumblr media
In seriousness, I have no idea how this would seriously work. Those two guys have guns trained on us and a third with a baton is at the door. Desuhiko's hug of doom wouldn't stop them from shooting us in the slightest.
But okay. I guess this is how we get out of here.
Least we can go hook up with Yakou and figure out a new avenue for--
Tumblr media
Oh. Uh. Hi. You must be Fink. How's tricks....
Tumblr media
Oh. That's how.
Shit.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit, that wasn't a distraction! IT'S HIM! IT'S FUCKING HIM! YAKOU IS THE FIRST TO DIE.
I mean he was the most expendable. Out of everyone here, I'll miss him the least. But still. Fuck. I am not ready for people to start dropping dead.
Tumblr media
Fink again. Tossed his cloak aside to reveal a lab coat underneath, just before 'rounding the corner and vanishing from sight.
Total poser move. Definitely Halara. :P
Tumblr media
Another one of Fink's knives. They all have the same F carved into them. Fink likes to leave his knives behind at his crime scenes so everyone knows he did it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We broke the tradition of two bodies in chapter three so that we could have two bodies in chapter four.
Hooo. Why Yakou? He was out-of-disguise so this wasn't a mistaken identify or anything. Which, on that note, why was he out-of-disguise? But. In any case. What could Fink have possibly had against Yakou?
Was this revenge? Did Fink cheat on his wife and Yakou exposed him? I have no idea what to make of this.
We are officially across the threshold. Our teammates are mortal now. That. Is terrifying.

Reactions As I Read: ● wait… what? I thought they were in the Batcave… ● I love Adrienne Roy’s use of color

Tumblr media
● the art is really beautiful this issue ● 👏👏👏👏👏
Synopsis: Bane has broken the Batman, and displays his triumph on the streets of Gotham City, holding his enemy's limp body high over his head. In further show of his superiority, Bane tosses Batman's body from the top of a building, and it lands in a crumpled heap on the sidewalk. Officer Marz and Renée Montoya call an ambulance and do crowd control, ascertaining that Batman is still alive. When the ambulance arrives, Alfred Pennyworth, disguised as an EMT, to ensure that he is taken back to the Batcave. He assures Montoya that Batman is in good hands.
When Alfred realizes that Batman's back has been broken, Robin argues that he should be taken to a hospital. Alfred refuses, explaining that by bringing him to a hospital, it would expose Bruce Wayne as the Batman, and destroy his identity. Instead, they take him back to the cave and hope to stabilize him enough until they can come up with a reasonable explanation as to why Bruce Wayne would have these injuries.
Back on the scene, Commissioner Gordon realizes that Batman never arrived at the hospital, becoming angry with Montoya. However, when Harvey Bullock suggests that it might have been some of Batman's own people who took him, the Commissioner's mood changes.
In their hideout, the Joker bemoans the fact that a mere rookie managed to take down the Batman, after he and the most dangerous of Batman's Rogues Gallery have tried since the Arkham breakout. Similarly, Scarecrow is annoyed that they wasted their time on kidnapping the Mayor, and failed to gain control over Gotham or the ransom he needed to continue his experiments. Scarecrow becomes frustrated with Joker's mockery, and sprays him with fear gas. Of course, the gas has no effect, given the Joker's natural immunity to toxins. In retaliation for simply trying, the Joker savagely beats Scarecrow into unconsciousness with a chair.
In the Batcave, Alfred manages to get Bruce stable, though he is still comatose and feverish. Unfortunately, Alfred lacks the required medications to treat spinal trauma - and it is needed within the next hour to be effective. Robin and Azrael get into the Batmobile and speed off in search of the drug Decadron, which is required lest Batman be paralyzed for life.
Sarah Essen-Gordon finds her husband atop Gotham City Police Headquarters, waiting by the Bat-Signal. She puts aside her dislike of Batman in order to comfort him, as he wonders if his friend is alright. He promises to be down in a minute, still hoping for a sign from Batman's partners.
In a seedy Gotham hotel, the Ventriloquist watches as his two puppets, Socko and Scarface, become increasingly negative toward one another. Eventually, the two dummies point guns at each other, and the Ventriloquist shoots himself in both hands.
Robin appears in Commissioner Gordon's office, and begs for help in getting the Decadron needed for Batman's recovery. The Commissioner dispatches Bullock and Montoya to drive as fast as possible to a trauma centre, pick up the drugs, and deliver it to a deserted cul-de-sac. When they arrive at the dead end, Robin and Azrael snatch away the package, and rush back to Alfred.
With the Decadron administered, all the heroes can do is wait…
