" you let out a shrill cry. desperation tearing out your vocals as you reach out, hand extended. and, as merciful as i am. i answered your call. "

another doodle of these two again help more doodles + concept designs under the cut (and also additional tectonic plates doodle too)

tmw both of your suppressed guilt and mistakes are the main reason why you hate yourself. yet something about it makes you feel whole and it's such a disgusting, satisfying feeling.

anyway wow i didnt expect i would like this ship (technically i dont ship it romantic wise LMAO i LOVE metaphors too okay i think we're shipping metaphors in a way now/silly/pos)

fastest way to piss me off is to try and add something to a task im in the middle of doing because 'youre already doing it so this shouldnt be extra work tee hee' THATS NOT HOW THIS WORKS

Bro I had a dream that left me so fucked up. Yeah it was full of wacky stuff like people with powers and half human half transformers guys??? Anyway. I began dating?? Married??? one of those transformers mestizo guys (because of course I did). And I don't remember much afterwards UNTIL I was inside a house and all my "family" (not my real family but transformer guy and his family and some "friends" that I didn't recognize) was there and at some point I went to an empty room with this large window.

And when I looked out the window the landscape was so pretty, and I was so mesmerized, and I said "I think life is worth living" out loud and I began thinking about my life and how I'd gotten to that point and how I was surrounded by people I love and I thought about how proud my dead parents (they aren't dead irl but they were in the dream ig) would be and how much I missed them and wished they could see me. And I felt this overwhelming sense of grief and nostalgia and peace and Idk, something VERY strong, so strong I sank to the floor and cried. And then my half transformer husband entered the room and comforted me. And then I don't remember anything else but that weird feeling was SO REAL and what I said out loud was so out of character for me I'm highkey shaken

TLDR marrying a non-human entity cured my depression in a dream and restored my will to live

The materials science watchdogs are working on developing acid proof uniforms, and it's called the:

Captain Arachnomorph-Proof Technology Project.

Or the C.A.P.T. Project.

Yes, Peepers thought of the name. Yes, he's proud of it. He's insufferable about it, actually.

It's been about a year and he still brings up how he's responsible for that stroke of genius whenever it's even slightly relevant.

I’m a nervous wreck when it comes to these chicks 😭😭😭

[weaselle]

i had to make a solution for this for myself, mostly because of depression, but it makes a nice How To for folks who are low on spoons or could use some help in the kitchen.

Fortunately i was a professional cook for over a decade. UNfortunately the first post i made explaining it was suuuuper long. Let's see if i can do better

So you select any protein that you can cook in a frying pan -- chicken breasts, ground beef, pork chops, sausages, steak, chicken thighs, whatever. You also select one or two types of veggie (mushrooms or tubers also work, i just did this with potatoes and carrots for dinner tonight).

[i like cooking for vegetarians, but this is how i cook for myself when i'm low on spoons - perhaps i'll do another post for meatless meals]

You'll also need some kind of oil, and a sauce or two of your choice in a bottle. All cooking gear is a large frying pan with lid (i prefer non-stick) a spatula, a cutting board, and a knife.

You cut the veggies into bite size pieces, cut up enough for two meals. One kind of veggie is fine, or you can do mix two or three

Put frying pan on medium heat with a little oil. Tubers or mushrooms or go in the pan a few minutes before the protein. 2 portions of the protein goes in the pan, about 5 minutes with lid (don't worry you can still get a good sear on both sides)

Now flip your protein if it's flip-able and add normal veggies, put the lid back on another five-ish minutes.

Take your protein out and put it with one portion of the veggies in a microwave safe container. That's going to be your lunch tomorrow. Put the other portion of protein on a plate to rest (you have to let a cooked protein sit a couple minutes before you serve it or when you cut into it all the juices run out and it goes dry - the liquids thicken as it cools, preventing this drying out if you let it rest, the goal is to serve it very warm but not hot hot)

While it's resting, pour some sauce from your bottle in the pan with the rest of the veggies and turn up the heat. A single sauce/bottle is fine, i like to get fancy and mix a couple. Two examples of personal favorite mixes are 1: bbq sauce and a hot sauce like sriracha 2: roughly equal parts low sodium soy sauce and worcestershire (makes something similar to a teriyaki sauce) A swallow of wine is almost always a great option if you want to add that to your sauce too, just add it to the pan before the other sauces so the alcohol has time to burn off.

...

Here is the important bit. While your veggies are finishing, wash your cutting board and chef knife. Then when you dump your veggies and sauce over your protein on the plate, while it is still too hot to eat, you wash your frying pan and spatula before you eat. Now the only dishes you have left to do are your plate and fork. Maybe a steak knife.

...

The whole thing takes about 35 minutes even with washing the dishes, and that includes your lunch for the next day- just pour a different sauce on and stick it in the microwave for a couple minutes (or five minutes back in the frying pan) and you have a full healthy lunch with a different flavor

You can use this technique every single meal and it yields hundreds of combinations, from pork and potatoes bbq, to salmon and broccoli teriyaki, to chicken and zucchini in a soy glaze.

It will keep you down to less than an hour of kitchen time per day total for both lunch and dinner including all dish clean up, uses the least dishes, the least effort, requires the least technique, and is, depending on what you pick out, very affordable

here are a couple more examples from this month; i didn’t take pictures of the salmon i did recently, but you get the idea

it's not super fancy, but it is easy, affordable, quick, and any flavors you want. Hope this helps some folks

Happy Cooking!

Hard Chrome Plating: A Reliable Solution for Durability and Wear Resistance

Hard chrome plating is a specialized electroplating process that deposits a thick layer of chromium onto a metal surface to enhance its durability, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. This process, which involves the use of a chromic acid solution, has become a go-to solution in various industries where component longevity is essential. WWG Engineering offers top-notch hard chrome plating services, with state-of-the-art facilities and plating tanks capable of accommodating both small and large components. Their advanced setup ensures that every part, regardless of size or complexity, receives a high-quality chrome coating to meet specific operational needs.

The Hard Chrome Plating Process

Hard chrome plating is distinct from decorative chrome plating. While decorative chrome is typically applied in thinner layers and is primarily used for aesthetic purposes, hard chrome is applied for functional reasons—mainly to increase the lifespan and performance of machine parts exposed to harsh environments. The thickness of hard chrome plating can range from 25 to 1,000 microns, making it a highly versatile solution for numerous industrial applications.

The process starts by immersing the metal component into a chromic acid solution, where chromium is electro-deposited onto the surface. Electro-deposited chrome is known for its incredible hardness, with typical values ranging between 850 and 1050 HV (63 to 70 HRc). These hardness levels make hard chrome one of the toughest and most durable coatings available, hence the term "hard" chrome.

Key Benefits of Hard Chrome Plating

The advantages of hard chrome plating go beyond its impressive hardness. Here are several key benefits that make it ideal for various industries:

Increased Wear Resistance: Hard chrome is exceptionally resistant to abrasive and erosive wear due to its high hardness and low coefficient of friction. The coating is capable of withstanding repeated contact and movement, making it perfect for components exposed to friction-heavy environments.

Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: Hard chrome offers excellent resistance to atmospheric oxidation, preventing the metal underneath from corroding. Its ability to withstand both oxidizing and reducing agents makes it a top choice for components that operate in corrosive environments.

Self-Lubricating Properties: One of the lesser-known features of hard chrome is its self-lubricating properties. This characteristic reduces the need for external lubrication in some applications, improving efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

Thermal Stability: Hard chrome is considered a "cold" plating process because it operates at temperatures between 50 and 60°C. This ensures that the physical and mechanical properties of the base material are not affected during the plating process, making it suitable for a wide range of materials and applications.

Repair and Salvage Capabilities: In addition to improving the performance of new components, hard chrome plating is commonly used for salvaging and repairing worn, damaged, or mis-machined parts. Thicker deposits of chrome can restore these components to their original dimensions, allowing them to be reused and extending their operational life.

Common Applications of Hard Chrome Plating

Given its excellent wear resistance, corrosion protection, and other beneficial properties, hard chrome plating is widely used across a broad spectrum of industries. Among the most frequent applications are:

Hydraulic and Pneumatic Piston Rods and Cylinders: Hard chrome plating helps reduce friction and prevent wear on moving parts, extending the life of these critical components.

Molds, Dies, and Screws: In industries like plastic injection molding and die-casting, hard chrome improves wear resistance, helping molds and dies maintain their accuracy and prolonging their service life.

Print Cylinders and Plates: The smooth, hard surface of chrome-coated print cylinders ensures high-quality printing while resisting the wear and tear associated with high-speed printing operations.

Valves, Gates, and Bodies: The corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant properties of hard chrome make it a reliable solution for valves and gate bodies that operate in challenging environments, such as the oil and gas industry.

Mining Equipment: Hard chrome plating is commonly used to extend the operational life of mining equipment exposed to harsh conditions, including abrasive materials and corrosive environments.

Pump Shafts and Rotors: In the pump industry, hard chrome plating ensures that shafts and rotors maintain their dimensional integrity and resist wear, even in environments with high friction and pressure.

Textile Components: The self-lubricating properties of hard chrome make it an ideal material for textile components, reducing maintenance requirements and ensuring smooth operation.

As a licensed therapist, let me tell you that the most success I’ve found with patients is not being uwu soft happy thoughts guy, and instead being someone that validates all the rage, anger, frustration and sorrow they have. Curbing it with fake positivity is unhealthy and self-destructive. Express it. If you need to cry, you cry, if we need to rage, we rage, if you aren’t good with words, we can do something more physical; I bought cheap plates one time, for this 16 year old girl who just couldn’t communicate and convey properly, then we smashed them together whenever our slow conversation touched on the things that truly hurt her, the idea being that giving a physical component to speech could help her organize ideas better, and it worked.

And after we get all that rage out of you, after we validate and shape it into something that’s nothing to be ashamed of and that needn’t be kept in a little cloister until it blows you to kingdom come, then we talk about how beautiful shit can be once rage and frustration are things you can grab by the throat. Yeah it’s not going to solve everything because a lot of psychological issues are symptoms of a greater root problem, and a lot of times, you don’t have mental illness, you simply don’t have money, but with that wholly on the table? Yeah it becomes easier to navigate potential solutions and increase resilience.

But seriously, “fake it until you make it” has a lot of merits but there’s a big red line that says “FAKE HAPPINESS” that you shouldn’t cross. Can’t blame you if you do, because we are taught “negative” emotions exist (they don’t) and that we have to repress and never ‘fail’. Fuck up a lot, and learn from it, learn how to get angry in a way that helps you and doesn’t hurt others. Way more productive than thinking happy thoughts.
