[66sharkteeth]

people seemed interested in the little nine lives bio i posted last night, so now i'm doing finze! who i'm realizing i don't have any finished art of (in this form) that doesn't include nine. disclaimer that this has nothing to do with the Finze we know from City of Blank beyond name, personality, and some kind of "canon events" that are shared among all versions of Finze.

-Half-angel, and yes, I'm aware that's a Nephilim, but he doesn't like to call himself that because of what usually comes to mind with that word. That said, this is not his only form.

-He was a prophesized child that was supposed to be born from an angel and a virgin. This child was supposed to beckon in the rapture and lead humanity to heaven in the rapture. However, once he was old enough to start understanding his destiny, he simply decided that he didn't want to do that.

-This is when they started to realize something went wrong. Turns out his mother was very much not a virgin, which sort of messed up the whole prophecy and now they just have this guy who is sort of half-way what the prophecy called for. So anyway, the rapture is postponed and now Finze just works (reluctantly) for the church/angels.

-Part of his powers is his "all seeing eye" that is under his eyepatch. He will gain the knowledge of anyone he looks into with that eye. The church has used this power on 10+ of the world's smartest individuals, making finze incredibly smart, but the downside is he now has 10+ individuals crammed in his head. His healing abilities are basically the only thing stopping him from going brain dead but he is in constant pain because of it.

-He is just as nasty and mean as he is in CoB, if not more so. He lives a very lavish lifestyle, provided by the church, and is incredibly out of touch with with the rest of the world despite his vast knowledge. So basically, quite literally the smartest person on earth, but socially, one of the worst.

-Despite being literally half-angel and knowing other angels, he is an adamant (and obnoxious) atheist. he thinks they're aliens or something.

-Struggles greatly with OCD. Hates being touched and struggles with emotions other than anger and annoyance. Hates trying new things or going outside his comfort zone. Has constant energy of nervous dog that is about to bite you.

-incredibly vapid and obsessed with his appearance. you know the scene of Howl melting because his hair was the wrong color? yeah, he's like that if he ever gets something like a zit.

-the only thing in life he loves more than (eventually) nine is his car. he is very much a car guy. He also unfortunately shouldn't be allowed on the road. You know those jack asses that zoom down the highway at 100 MPH, weaving in and out of traffic? That is Finze. Also just parks wherever he wants, as long as it's not a towaway zone. No parking before 8 PM? No, just more expensive parking before 8 PM.

hmmm. there's a lot more but this is getting really long. his was a lot harder to do than nine's because i feel like a lot of lore needs to be explained in order to elaborate on a lot of things about him. i didn't even get into how he ends up as a tutor at nine's school and that's how they meet. i wanna ramble about him and nine more but not in a way that scares people off w/ any walls of text longer than this!!

LOXTON: I want to make a complaint. BROWNLOW: I’m sorry, Steve, I don’t have the time at the moment. LOXTON: Make time. If I was someone else with a complaint about me, you’d listen then, wouldn’t you?

LOXTON: How long have I been here, do you know? BROWNLOW: Six, seven years. LOXTON: Since 1989. I’ve put eight years into Sun Hill. I know the streets, I know the villains, and I think I know when there’s going to be trouble, so why doesn’t anyone listen to me? I nicked a bloke this morning. Should still be in the cells, but June Ackland, in her wisdom, decided to bail him. He’s just gone out and stabbed a young girl to death. Why? Because June Ackland is just like all the other custody sergeants: she’s afraid of the rules. Treats the codes of practice like they’re written in stone. BROWNLOW: Her hands are tied. LOXTON: Oh, I know that, Sir. All our hands are tied. I’m in trouble now because I forgot to give my name before a search this morning. I’ve just spent forty-five minutes waiting for a towaway truck because traffic division say you have to stay at the scene of an R.T.A. I should’ve been out chasing a murderer, not sitting in my car. BROWNLOW: I’m sure it’s very frustrating. LOXTON: You sure. Are you? How the hell would you know? BROWNLOW: Now look here, Loxton— LOXTON: You sit in here, miles away from any trouble. And when someone comes in to make a complaint against a poor sod like me, you can’t even back me up!

BROWNLOW: You’ve had a bad day. LOXTON: No, Sir, I’ve had a typical day. That’s why I’m giving you this.

Let’s face it, Steve was always going to crash and burn out of the force eventually. As much as he wanted everyone to think that he was completely emotionless, his problem was always that he felt things too deeply, and had no way of healthily dealing with those feels. Tom Butcher is incredible in this episode, as he always is. Steve would’ve been just another prat if Tom hadn’t been so good at showing what lay beneath the tactless bluster.

PTAG Trucking News : The FMCSA is proposing a new rule that would give learners' permit holders the ability to operate without a CDL holder in the passenger seat once they have passed their skills test. This change is part of a larger effort by the agency to increase flexibility and efficiency for CDL applicants.

In a notice released on Tuesday, the FMCSA outlined their plans to streamline the testing process for those seeking a CDL or commercial learner's permit. They believe that these proposed changes will allow applicants to obtain their CDL and start working as a commercial driver more quickly, without sacrificing safety.

The FMCSA also believes that these changes will improve the convenience and efficiency of CDL issuance, while also ensuring the integrity of third-party CDL knowledge testing. Additionally, they see this as an opportunity to enhance flexibility in the transportation of empty passenger CMVs from manufacturers to distributors or in driveaway-towaway operations.

Overall, the FMCSA hopes that these proposed changes will provide a more efficient and flexible path for CDL applicants, while still prioritizing safety on the roads. #PTAG #PTAGNews #Trucking

Understanding ELD Mandate Exemptions for Commercial Vehicles

In 2014, a study by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) revealed that Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) could potentially prevent over 1,700 crashes, 500 injuries, and 24 fatalities annually. These sobering statistics underscore the need for accurate tracking of a driver's hours of service (HOS) to enhance road safety. This article explores the exemptions to the ELD Mandate and the reasons behind its introduction.

What Is an ELD Device? An Electronic Logging Device (ELD) is a digital system that monitors a commercial vehicle's engine and records its driving hours. The FMCSA mandates the installation of ELD devices in nearly all commercial vehicles crossing state lines to ensure precise HOS calculations. ELDs replace manual paper logs, saving drivers time and effort, although some argue that they impose rigid requirements.

Understanding Hours of Service (HOS): The HOS rule, introduced in 1938, regulates commercial vehicle drivers' work hours to prevent overexploitation and reduce accidents caused by driver fatigue. Drowsy driving is a significant contributor to accidents, with thousands of fatalities and billions of dollars in economic losses each year.

ELD Mandate Requirements: The FMCSA requires commercial drivers to use ELD devices, with exemptions for specific categories:

Trucks Manufactured Before 2000: Trucks manufactured before 2000 often lack the necessary Engine Control Modules (ECMs) for ELD compatibility. The exemption applies based on the truck's model year, but an engine replacement may affect eligibility.

Drivers with RODS of 8 Days or Less: Drivers with Records of Duty Status (RODS) spanning 8 days or less within a 30-day period are exempt. They must, however, maintain paper logs.

Driveaway-Towaway Operations: When transporting an empty truck/tractor/trailer, an ELD is not required if the vehicle is part of the cargo or if the shipment is a motorhome or recreational vehicle trailer.

Short-Haul Exemptions: a. 100 Air-Mile Radius: Drivers operating within a 100 air-mile radius from their reporting location and returning daily, with a 12-hour shift and 10 hours off-duty, are exempt. b. 150 Air-Mile Radius: Non-commercial drivers operating vehicles under 8,000 pounds within a 150 air-mile radius of their reporting location, who return after each duty tour, are exempt.

Farmer's Vehicles: Drivers transporting agricultural commodities within a 150 air-mile radius are exempt from HOS requirements and paper logs.

Additional Limited Exemptions: Three additional exemptions were approved by the FMCSA, postponing ELD device requirements:

A. Trucks Rented for 8 Days or Less (until Oct 11, 2022): Trucks rented for 8 days or less are exempt, but HOS rules still apply, and rental agreements must be kept on hand.

B. UPS Partial Exemption (until Oct 20, 2022): UPS drivers can change duty status on ELD devices outside their vehicles, and special yard move options are allowed.

C. Motion Picture Association Truck Drivers (until Jan 19, 2023): Commercial motor vehicle drivers involved in transporting goods for the Motion Picture Association of America can maintain paper records instead of using ELDs.

The Future of ELD Mandate Exemptions: Trucks previously equipped with AOBRD devices were required to install ELD devices by December 16, 2019. While exemptions exist, having an ELD device can future-proof compliance. Some states also have specific ELD requirements, so staying informed is essential.

Conclusion: ELD devices play a crucial role in improving road safety and regulating commercial drivers' work hours. Understanding exemptions and staying informed about evolving regulations is vital for both drivers and fleet owners to ensure compliance with the ELD Mandate.

If it's already a no parking zone why would you post a tow-away sign for certain days and times? It implies that you can park there at other times. Stupid city. #parkingsigns #towaway #laparking (at Fairfax District, Los Angeles)
