शिमला पुलिस ने हिंदू प्रदर्शनकारियों के खिलाफ कसा शिकंजा, 185 लोगों की पहचान के बाद दर्ज किए मामले

Sanjauli Mosque Case: प्रदेश की राजधानी शिमला के संजौली क्षेत्र में पिछले दिनों हुए कथित अवैध मस्जिद निर्माण के खिलाफ प्रदर्शन और तोड़फोड़ केस में अब शिमला पुलिस ने अपनी कार्रवाई तेज कर दी है। हालांकि पहले पुलिस ने किसी भी टकराव को शांत करने के लिए धैर्य से कार्य किया। हालांकि अभी भी मस्जिद के आसपास व मुख्य बाजार में किसी भी स्थिति से निपटने के लिए पुलिस बल तैनात है लेकिन अब हालात शांत हैं। ऐसे…

Why Do Some Fasteners Loosen Over Time? Unlocking the Mystery of Mechanical Relaxation

Have you ever tightened a bolt or a screw, only to find it loosening up over time? As a seasoned professional in the fastener industry, let's delve into the intriguing world of mechanical relaxation and discover why some fasteners just can't seem to hold on tight.

Why? Fasteners, like all mechanical components, experience stress and strain during their lifespan. Over time, this stress can cause them to yield slightly, leading to a phenomenon known as "creep." It's like a gentle, imperceptible relaxation that occurs as the fastener settles into its role within the assembly.

How to Prevent the Drift? But fear not! While some relaxation is inevitable, there are ways to keep your fasteners snug and secure for longer. Choosing high-quality materials, proper torque specifications, and regular maintenance can all help mitigate the effects of mechanical relaxation, ensuring that your constructions remain steadfast and reliable.

So, the next time you encounter a loose fastener, remember – it's not just about tightening bolts; it's about understanding the intricate dance of mechanical forces that govern their behavior. Join us in the quest for tighter, more resilient assemblies!

ghost/soul polites definitely threw away his open arms policy during six hundred strike, that man would of had poseidon in a chokehold for all the misery and torment he's caused odysseus.

polites: i'll hold him, you stab him

odysseus: but what about open arm-

polites: i opened my arms, then i wrapped them around his neck. tightly. a very forced hug if you will.

odysseus: *now holding poseidon's trident* well i can't argue with that *STAB*

I love 20th century Navy trousers because when you’re standing upright it’s like oh this is a nice pair of trousers but when you bend over it’s like oh I am the sluttiest man who has ever lived

Some people online have the same puritanical view of media consumption as the steven universe bluey types they’re constantly making fun of but they have no self awareness so they have no idea and it’s kind of incredible to watch people who think they’re the edgiest people in the world shit and piss themselves when somebody likes a movie that violates their very specific metric of acceptability in content shown. Horror is great until it doesn’t look like the inside of a spirit Halloween store apparently

My covid post from last year is going around again, as I sit here debating how and what to write about HPAI H5N1.

I'm tired.

Things to know:

HPAI H5N1, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1, is so far wildly lethal when humans get it. Somewhere between 53% and 56% of the humans who have been found to have it have died.

Those people mainly got it from interacting with sick birds. A couple have gotten it from interacting with sick mammals. The one of those that's most important to US news right now is a worker at a milk cow farm who got sick very recently. That worker's only symptom before getting on antiviral medication was pinkeye.

(Keep your cats indoors; cats are getting it from sick birds. Don't have bird feeders this year. Do NOT interact with wild birds that are acting strangely; do not poke at dead wild birds.)

Humans are not yet giving it to humans. There are one or two cases where they might have done, in the last few years; those cases guttered out quickly, to the great good luck of our species, and did not spread.

Human-to-human transmission is the big concern.

We are not in any immediate danger of H2H transmission. When we're in immediate danger, you'll know.

When the flip happens, we will go from not being in immediate danger to being in immediate danger, very rapidly. This could happen this month, or in five months, or in five years, and we don't know when.

By the time we are in immediate danger, it is too late to do the greater bulk of your preparation.

So it's time to prepare now. This time we have is a blessing. We should not squander it. What would you have done differently in September, 2019, if you knew what was coming? Do that.

With some differences; a) flu can pass by fomite--that is, a sick person touches a doorknob, you touch a doorknob, you rub your face, you get sick--so you actually do need cleaning chemicals for this one. b) This one gets in through the eyeballs pretty easily in its current shape, so eye protection should be prepped for adding to masking in public spaces. c) this one is gonna call for fever reducers and we know how hard they were to get when covid hit; stock up. And stock up on pet food if you can keep it from going bad, because pet food gets its protein from cow and bird meat; there will be shortages.

With a lot of similarities; the flu is airborne so don't stop masking, if we have a proper lockdown this time you're going to wish you had flour and rice and canned fruit so keep stock of all your staples. If you have a nice big freezer, now is the time to get beef and chicken before the prices shoot to the ceiling. I'm also stocking up on powdered milk and powdered eggs for baking with.

We have made a lot, a LOT of mistakes with how we've handled covid. But one thing we didn't do wrong was all of the community-building in the early days. Think about what worked then, and what didn't really work. Now is the time to make sure community bonds are strong. As always, as in ANY potential disaster, there are two most-important questions?

Who can protect and support you?

Who can you support and protect?

Plan accordingly.

One of my short haired Apollo posts just became one of my first art posts to hit 1000 notes (wowza!) so I drew him with short hair again bc obviously y'all love that. And then I added a whole bunch of other stuff bc Apollo whispered in my ear "make me fancier, I need to be at least 70% more fancy"
