hey so the first time a young, scrappy blue haired girl used hex crystals as as a weapon everyone died except her

*stares into the distance* the long thingy thing and short gizmo-gadget and the 'secret ingredient' are probably just a fuse, a corpus and gunpowder respectively

Lab Safety: Metal Powders

Metal powders present both a fire hazard and, depending on the particle size, an inhalation/toxicity hazard. Some powders are also toxic on their own, and most powders (even non-metal powders) can represent an explosive hazard. Respirators of some form (often full-face respirators) are almost always required when handling metal powders. Strict contamination/cleaning protocols are also usually implemented, as metals powders can easily settle unnoticed on surfaces. Many procedures for handling metal powder also require wearing a bunnysuit, to prevent contamination of personal clothing and unintentionally carrying powders out of the lab. Metal powders should be stored in flammables cabinets.

I just noticed Copper and Ghost in that list of characters. What are those two like personality wise? 👀

I am SO glad you asked, I've been thinking of those two a lot lately for some reason...

Back when I was first getting into aus, I got pretty turned around by all the different sf/fs aus, and never really felt like my multitudes of attempts fit right, but after I had a more solid foundation with all the others, I decided to come back to them and make my own "from scratch"

Hence, Metal & Glass as their separators!

This makes Copper more closely aligned with Stretch, while Ghost is more closely aligned with Edge! Of course, each au has their own lore that further differentiates them from their alternates, but that's (mostly) besides the point

⭒

Copper - from the outside looking in, Copper comes across arrogant and careless. He’s self assured, cocky, and while he’s generally conflict avoidant, doesn't shy away from stepping on toes. Few truly even believe he’s the Judge because of his total lacking respect of the queen, and general inability to take things seriously. He’s sarcastic, flirtatious, and even plays "pranks" on the rare occasion, but anyone who pays attention can see he’s just as affected by the state of the underground as anyone else.

Going beyond surface level (aha), Copper is incredibly observant. When it comes to important things, or potential threats, there are few who have intuition as keen as his. Unfortunately though, he can be a little less astute with less dangerous social situations, and truly does speak before thinking at times. He genuinely doesn't mean to offend more often than not, but correcting anyone of misconceptions would be showing weakness, which is partially how he winds up with his aforementioned reputations.

Despite this, he cares more than he wishes he did, and tries his best to look out for those he cares for, even if his best falls ever shorter of being enough as conditions underground worsen, along with his own apathy.

With strangers, he comes off as quick witted and sharp tongued, but also lazy and purposefully annoying. With people close to him, he’s generally more quiet, prefers actions to words, and does little things to look after them.

He’s got thick skin, but more than anything the loneliness is what hurts him. But distance is safety. And he’s still got people to look after, so he can't go putting them all at risk just for a little self satisfaction...

⭒

Ghost - despite few knowing he’s the Judge, many are wary of him all the same. Predominantly mute, merciless in his work, and eerily watchful, Ghost's nickname suits him incredibly well. He’s got possibly the worst resting bitch face anyone's ever seen, and due to his inexpressive nature, most assume he is some level of pissed off at any given time. They're not entirely wrong though, so that actually works in his favor more often than not. He appears slow moving and indifferent, but strikes like a viper and has little patience for those endangering others. It's understood this isn't due to a strong sense of justice but rather strict adherence to his responsibilities as a member of the guard.

However, prying under that veneer, Ghost cares very deeply about the few "close" to him, his brother, Undyne, and eventually Chara. Even, to a lesser extent, Toriel, though it's rooted more in pity than anything else. He was "raised" with a strong sense of responsibility forced upon him, and his more emotional side was staunchly repressed for so long it's atrophied a bit. For the best though, it keeps them safer, but he does understand it's a weakness in its own respect...

He may come across very cold and uncaring, but it's more observant and wary than most realize. He does not like violence. He does not like the state of things. But there's little he can do besides focus on what he can, and so he does. A deceitfully tireless worker, and perhaps cares more about those outside his circle than they'd believe. Still prefers animals though.

Powder Metallurgy applications

PM is widely used to produce critical engine components such as connecting rods, camshafts, and gears. The process allows for the creation of intricate shapes and the incorporation of alloying elements to enhance performance.

PM is employed in manufacturing transmission parts like synchronizer hubs and gears. The high precision achievable with PM ensures the production of components with minimal post-processing.

Powder Metallurgy is utilized to fabricate structural components of aircraft, including brackets, fasteners, and various lightweight parts. The high strength-to-weight ratio achievable with PM is advantageous in aerospace applications.

PM is ideal for manufacturing components used in satellites, where weight reduction is crucial. It ensures the production of lightweight yet robust parts, contributing to overall fuel efficiency.

My first attempt at some spellbooks for some bookwyrms! I’ve been having fun playing with mica powder lately so expect lots of shimmery and iridescent celestial works.

Novel etching technique enhances absorptivity of powders for metal 3D-printing

In a significant advancement for metal additive manufacturing, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and their academic partners have developed a technique that enhances the optical absorptivity of metal powders used in 3D printing. The approach, which involves creating nanoscale surface features on metal powders, promises to improve the efficiency and quality of printed metal parts, particularly for challenging materials like copper and tungsten, according to researchers. Additive manufacturing (AM)—more commonly known as 3D printing—has transformed the way products are designed and produced, allowing for the creation of complex geometries and customized components that traditional manufacturing methods struggle to achieve.

Sometimes I forget the implication that Carmilla Carmine may have toppled the security of overlords due to her angelic steel weapon business. Because now the access to weapons lethal to overlords and higher power hellborn demons is question of money. And if someone has a lot of money they can armour an assassin with blessed/angelic weapon, and that would be it. A permanent death

I made these chocolate pies for Halloween. Small ones for snacking, and a full size for dessert!

I’m generally good at baking because I LOVE following recipes exactly

But then yesterday I was making buttercream and thought ‘wow this is a lot of vanilla essence’, upon which time I took a closer look at the measuring spoon I was using

And that’s how I put a tablespoon and a half of vanilla essence (25ml) into my buttercream instead of a teaspoon and a half (7.5ml)
