I'm sorry if you already posted this, but this is about the details of the first cars movie, what was the car Pixar used for Lightning McQueen's sounds, bc I cannot for the life of me remember

ONE OF MY FAVORITEST TOPICS!!!!!!!!!!

so lightning, being a 2006 model/cars being in production in the early aughts, is based off of a gen4 NASCAR build. specifically a chevy monte-carlo of the early aughts, as seen in some of his early designwork:

[jogen klubein, 2000]

[bob pauley, 2002] [the art of cars]

some stats:

(from some sketchy assed 2000 website i wont link it but i do have it written down)

i used to swear up and down that there was a special feature that showed a few of the guys from skywalker sound recording one of the g4s (maybe a blue and white dodge??) at skywalker ranch in california (or at the airstrip with the other cars). it may have been an old interview or its on a blu-ray special feature somewhere, but i havent been able to find it. i either dreamt it up or its been lost?? no idea.

but what i have been able to find is some of the stock audio used in Cars. Supposedly this is work done by Ben Burtt at skywalker sound [lucasfilm] in the late 70's??: [link]

For NASCAR purposes, as far as i could tell their engines didnt change drastically from the 70s-2000's, so its not wholly inaccurate to use older clips.

a thing in my notes:

[mixonline. photo dead from link rot]

and now some examples of real-life mcqueens (an excuse to show you cool old stock cars) :

and a few various other references:

(note the flywheel sound we also hear in Cars!)

^video ive only skimmed so far but seems very informative.

and a few canon refs while im here:

[image mine, circa 2020. official 1:18 scale BANDAI replica with certificate of authenticity, approved by jay ward]

[time travel mater] (his carbon fiber cowl induction cover is very funny to me)

SO. to answer the question: its a mix of custom sound design and stock audio. its based in reality heavily, but i believe its also tuned for fiction/per character personality. i forget which interview said that it might be the mixonline one mentioned above or this old autoweek one. he's got something along the lines of partly SB2.2 and an R07. this does not mean pixar recorded specifically these motors, but prooobably something close.

and cars 3 pisses me off because they very clearly did not use any audio off of the g4s, which had a more specific screaming sound to them at high RPMs. COTR actually portrays his exhaust note more accurately than cars 3. Cars 2 is decent also, but the first film is chefs kiss.

i have more various unorganized lmq references but this ask is long enough now and probably doesnt make much sense because i am literally so amped about this topic. please note that this research is partly accurate and partly speculative/opinion. rejoice, mcqueens be upon ye.

Welcome to Error Code! ↳ Meet your Computer Tech

this is a redacted audio oc rp/ask blog, maintained by milogreer / lovaboy ! please read the carrd linked above for all important info, and look below the cut for some bonus info about omen ❤️

basics

born october 20, 1994

south asian american

moved to dahlia after graduating high school to attend D.A.M.N

seer masquerading as a “boring ol’ freelancer”

works at Error Code, a vintage electronics/media & tech support store on D.A.M.N's campus ↳ coworkers: @avamental, @rnprice

really good with technology and electronics. fancies himself a robotics engineer

personality

the loss of his brother and subsequently being disowned led to him self-isolating since his teens, though you wouldn't know it from his general upbeat and playful demeanor around people

he does like people and being around them, he's just generally careful not to get too close to anyone because of his Sight. stems from not wanting anyone to experience the heartbreak he went through when his brother died in the event of his own death + not wanting to experience further loss himself

primarily uses his Sight for little things (weather forecasts, traffic incidents, etc) so he can a) avoid involuntary visions and b) keep visions quick. the less he’s in the time streams, the better - his own death vision scares him

coping with the burden of Life and Death. but he stays silly /ref

always joking, even if the mood isn't right for it. but he can be sincere under the right circumstances

really smart (especially in tech, obviously) and always looking to learn more. people get annoyed sometimes by his constant questions, but he's not trying to be intrusive or anything. he's just curious

backstory

born to uninformed and unempowered parents

had a really hard time with his Sight when it first manifested in his early teens because he had no one to talk to about it. probably thought he was going crazy

he kept his visions locked down because they scared him after he saw his own death, but when he started seeing his brother's death, he finally told his parents about them

obviously they didn't believe him and thought he was being weird and morbid, but his brother died almost exactly the way he foretold, and they eventually disowned because they thought he was like. cursed. and they couldn't handle his downward spiral

from there he luckily ended up on the empowered side of things and was able to get help understanding his Sight. after graduating high school, he moved out to dahlia to attend D.A.M.N., where he got full certification as a freelancer

other

has a siamese cat named oracle. she's a certified emotional support animal

has a fucked up sleep schedule because he has chronic insomnia. also plagued by headaches, partially because of this

goes for energy drinks over soda. caffeine sharpens his Sight

relates his Sight to, like... building a PC or something. bunch of different pieces that can be changed to alter the performance in some way, ykwim? i don't build PCs idk

unapologetic romcom enjoyer. don't ask unless you want him to whip out his letterboxd and talk your ear off

despite being able to see the future, he has very bad luck. always losing chance games, spilling drinks onto keyboards, tripping over untied shoelaces, etc

has an irrational fear of birds but would sooner die than admit it

[rescuebabiesau]

Ermmmmm.. could u please make a piece where Heatwave visits Hotshot and Quickshadow for the first time after they split up 🥺🥺🥺👉👈 I bet it’s emotional cuz they just couldn’t bear being apart

"...Okay, I think it should work now."

"It'd better, Blades. I'm tired of winding up where I'm not supposed to be. Let's be fortunate it's only been somewhere within our reality."

"Hey, we're the first people in the universe to try to make an untraceable spacebridge via inter-dimensional energy from a middle-world plane. Sue me if there's been some... Mishaps." The air mosaic sat on his knees as he overlooked the crescent-shaped machine in front of them, the center presently swirling with glittering stars and purple smoke trailing out onto the floor. "Give me a break."

Heatwave took a deep breath and then tried to relax his shoulders. "...You're right, I'm sorry... It's just-"

"Trust me, Heatwave... I know..." Blades' face fell from its own irritated expression, shifting to one of sympathy for his older brother. "...The last four months have been Hell for you."

They had been Hell. Letting his wife and child go- for their own safety- and being separated from them across dozens of galaxies had been the hardest thing he'd ever done in his life. He'd called them almost every day, and would have visited long before now, if not for what was going on back on Cybertron. The High Council had banned all spacebridge activity, monitoring whoever tried to step through without government clearance.

Heatwave had no such clearance- According to cybertronian files and records, he had died years ago, and there was no such thing as a 'resurrection certificate.' Not enough bots had managed that feat to warrant it.

If he showed up through one of the sanctioned spacebridges, security would be looking for his ID number and clearance card, and would assume he was some decepticon spy posing as a dead bot. So the only solution? They had to build their own, and they had to do it in a way that the frequency when active wouldn't be picked up on their sensors, which required a slight detour into The Mist realm to cloak its location and connection.

It had taken four months for Boulder and Blades to figure it out and build it- also talking to trustworthy bots on the other end to make their own connecting portal generator. It would only be linked between the two- at least, that had been the plan. This was the first time Blades was fully convinced it wouldn't sent Heatwave to Hong Kong- That was a long story to explain to some rice farmers!

"Okay, test it out. Go see your pretty femme on the other end." Blades announced as he stood up. "Happy trails!"

"Famous last words, Blades..." Heatwave looked back at the portal, and then sighed, taking a step, then another, then another. The mist swirled about his feet, smoke and glitter creeping through the nooks and crannies of his armor. It was only for a moment, but then it faded, and he looked around to find a matching crescent behind him as he stepped forward, and the odd but identifying smell of freshly-laid cybermetal. "Ha! Finally... Took those two long-"

"Heatwave...!"

"...Darling!"

"My strong, faithful fire engine...!"

"My exotic, incomparable paradise...!"

They held to each other for what seemed like forever, peppering each other with kisses and whispering sweet nothings into each other's audio receptors... Until their son began to fuss.

"Oh, of course, Hotshot. Yes. Let's go somewhere we can catch up proper..."

The Catalyst: Life working in retail and the moment I finally said "fuck it, I'm doing porn."

I've been working in Customer Service off and on since early 2005, only ever being unemployed for short periods of time between job searches. I've worked in various retail establishments, with shipping companies, call centres, door-to-door sales, and even in kitchens & cafes. The only industry I have ever refused to work in has been fast food, and I'm sure those of you who have worked a drive through or two in your lives can understand my reasoning. I began in my first year of high school working at a Dollar Store that was next to an extremely seedy strip club (it eventually burned down and it was discovered that the owner had done it to try and cash in on the insurance). From customers verbally and physically abusing me, to an elderly man jerking his cock in front of me, my first romp in retail was merely a taste of what was to come for the next 20 years.

Some jobs were certainly better than others. I worked at a bookstore and a Halloween shop, both of which would have been fine if not for the politics of the company bleeding into the staff and making us all miserable. Bad management teams, abusive coworkers, bullying and drama akin to that which we experience in High School - it becomes exhausting after awhile. For minimum wage, which doesn't even come close to a living wage, it's just not worth the headaches. I rarely lasted longer than two years with any of my employers. When you're handed a penny raise after working your ass off for an entire year you tend to lose faith in the company that you've been breaking your back (and sanity) for. I promise, there was no lack of trying on my part to escape the clutches of the customer service industry. I have my BA in English, I have a certificate in photography, and I have some training in IT Web design (which proved to be far too much for my little brain to handle) and Audio Engineering. Unfortunately the job market for all of these industries in my part of the world is pretty much non existent. I'm pretty sure a BA in English is worth less than toilet paper even after the great pandemic shortage of 2020. Unfortunately, to make money in this world you gotta do what you gotta do. So to pay off my crippling debt and be able to afford an occasional package of ramen noodles so I don't starve to death, I have to continue working these soul crushing, mindless jobs.

It was in 2016 when I started working in donation rooms at thrift stores and, I will be completely honest with you - I fucking love it. Granted, it has it's downsides. I've sorted through more than a couple bags with mould, human feces, needles, and used sex toys, but the satisfaction of the treasure hunt it's absolutely worth the nasty shit that you sometimes encounter. But once again, the politics of the industry got in the way of finding my work enjoyable and rewarding. Nasty upper management was the downfall of all three thrift locations I've worked at. The first store the CEO shut us down without warning (I also later learned he was a sexual predator and was being sued by some of his employees for harassment, so that was gross). The second location had a violent customer base (we were robbed repeatedly), a bully assistant manager who would scream in your face when HE made a mistake, and a regional manager who loved to throw her staff under the bus.

So that leads us to my third romp in thrift, my absolute favourite job I've ever had, and the devastation brought upon me when everything came crumbling down.

My husband and I came into a little bit of money in 2021 and I decided to take a break from the world of customer service bullshit and return to school (This was my IT and Audio Engineering training). That summer I got a student job at a thrift store where 100% of the proceeds go into helping rescue animals. It was entirely volunteer based other than the management team and the summer students (who were there on a government grant). I had such an enjoyable experience working there as the volunteer coordinator than I returned the following summer, and they were so impressed with me they ended up hiring me on permanently part time to help with their rapidly growing business. At this point, due to some mental health struggles, I am not currently able to work full time hours, and they were more than happy to work around my disability...

Until the new regional manager was hired.

The store closed for renovations and I was brought in to help rebuild and re-brand the store.

Sure. No problem. It's more hours than I'm available for, but I don't mind just for a couple of weeks. It's also more physical work than my body is really equipped for but, just this once, I'll suffer through with a smile on my face.

Then I'm handed a key and I'm told "You're a staff supervisor now". Oh... okay? No one talked to me or asked me if I wanted the promotion, it's more hours than I can handle, and I don't really want the responsibilities that come with a supervisor position because of my disability, but since my old position has been dissolved I guess I'll have to suck it up. At least it comes with a raise, right?

Nope. Still minimum wage. Which is currently sitting about $15 under a livable wage. Also, we won't be training you and just expect you to know how to do the assistant manager's job.

Okay... Gotta do what you gotta do I guess.

You also have to work more shifts than you're available for.

Oh... yeah, okay. That could start to prove difficult as I'm dealing with a depressive episode right now but... sure?

Then suddenly I'm responsible for everything that goes wrong. A volunteer makes a mistake? Blame Billie - even on days she isn't working. The cash or pricing machines break? Billie. Shoes, purses, dresses, and coats priced to low? Blame Billie and make sure she's the only person who prices these things from now on. Need 30 things done at once right this second, tell Billie and don't let her delegate the tasks to anyone else. If she does, yell at her! Have Billie open and close the store for the next two weekends, but don't train her how to do it and expect her not to make any mistakes. Customer has an issue? That's right, it's also somehow Billie's fault! Even when she's at home sleeping!

Blame, blame, blame, blame, blame, blame, blame.

Yeah. This was the breaking point for me.

In July of 2023 I had started up an OnlyFans account to bring in a couple extra dollars. I'll discuss why this was a challenging decision for me in a future post, but originally I was just planning to post some tasteful nudes to earn myself a little spending money. By May of 2024, as all this bullshit had begun happening at work, that mindset had officially gone from a couple tasteful nudes to "Fuck it, I'm quitting retail and making porn." By August I had amassed enough of a following to put in my notice.

I am finished with retail as of October 15th, 2024 and turning to creating adult content full time.

Honestly, this is a terrifying leap of faith as I know content creation can be a fickle beast. Some months will be more lucrative than others, while an inability to keep people invested could have everything all come crashing down on top of me.

But I'm done with working for people who take advantage of me and pay me pennies. I know my value and I'm worth more than what I'm being given. I'm not a number who is easily replaceable, I am a strong capable woman who is in charge of her own destiny.

So fuck you workforce,

I quit!

Now. If you'll excuse me, I'm off to live life how it's meant to be lived,

Enjoyed!

Using ChatGPT to its full potential and gaining these applicable credentials will help you become more productive at work. Your efficiency and knowledge can also make an impression on clients and coworkers.

This post will go over ten ways ChatGPT can significantly increase your productivity, regardless of your job: data analyst, creative marketer, or busy executive. You'll be able to demonstrate your efficacy and proficiency while achieving more in less time by putting these recommendations into practice.

1.Automate Routine Operations

The load of tedious, repeated duties that take up significant time and energy is among the most common obstacles to productivity. These duties include answering often-asked inquiries, scheduling meetings, filling out paperwork, keeping track of documents, and reminding people to do things.

Thankfully, ChatGPT provides an answer by making it possible to automate these kinds of jobs by building intelligent chatbots. Chatbots are computer programs that converse with users by text or voice, providing help information or taking actions in response to input from the user.

You can easily create chatbots with ChatGPT for various platforms and uses. For example, you can make a chatbot to respond to customer inquiries on your website or social media pages. You may build a chatbot that can effectively set up email or calendar appointments. You can set up a chatbot to automatically fill out forms or update data in your ERP or CRM system.

2. Simplify Interaction

An essential component of any successful business is effective communication. Conversely, it can cause confusion and distraction if not managed appropriately. Coordinating many lines of communication—like emails, phone conversations, instant messages, and video chats—can be difficult while corresponding with different people, including partners, suppliers, clients, and coworkers.

Various useful communication tools are available from ChatGPT to help you be more productive and efficient. It may condense multiple documents, including emails, reports, meeting notes, and articles, highlighting essential ideas and takeaways for simple reading. You can trust ChatGPT to write emails according to your templates or prompts, ensuring correct language, spelling, tone, and clarity.

Additionally, ChatGPT can assist you in creating expert presentations using data or outlines, and it can even improve them with animations and voice-overs. ChatGPT revolutionizes your conversation experience with these clever features.

 3. Improve Your Ability to Analyze and Make Decisions

Since data is the lifeblood of any organization, businesses must analyze their data and make decisions based on it. However, this work can become challenging when dealing with large amounts of data from many sources and formats. Complex issues frequently develop that necessitate considering several variables and standards.

ChatGPT makes it simple to ask questions about data and get responses in plain English, facilitating conversation. It also helps with data visualization by creating aesthetically pleasing tables, charts, graphs, and maps using your supply data. Regarding data analysis, ChatGPT is excellent at finding patterns, trends, outliers, correlations, or anomalies. This allows it to provide insightful analysis and recommendations. With ChatGPT, you can compare data according to many criteria, which makes it easier to evaluate possibilities and create well-informed lists of pros and disadvantages. ChatGPT's predictive features enable it to develop and test hypotheses and predict outcomes and scenarios based on your data.

4. Customize Education and Training

Any organization that wants to increase its performance, productivity, knowledge, and skills must prioritize training and development. However, if these procedures are carried out correctly, their efficacy may be protected, leading to expensive and time-consuming outcomes. The problem of coping with cliched or out-of-date courses, resources, or approaches that might not suit each student's interests or preferences must be addressed.

Bright, individualized learning solutions are available from ChatGPT and cater to your unique requirements. It offers progress tracking and insightful feedback in addition to helping create personalized learning paths that align with your objectives, interests, abilities, and competence level. Interactive tests, quizzes, exercises, and assignments tailored to your learning goals and subject matter can be created with ChatGPT. It goes one step further by verifying your responses and providing thorough justifications. 

ChatGPT generates summaries, notes, flashcards, or cheat sheets based on your learning materials or sources to help you retain the information you've learned. It can even produce mnemonics, acronyms, or analogies to improve memory retention. Additionally, ChatGPT facilitates comprehension and application by creating scenarios, stories, case studies, and examples. It also provides challenging questions or tasks to evaluate your understanding and practical abilities.

5. Boost Client Support

Any firm must be able to draw in, keep, and please consumers while building its brand and income. It draws attention to how vital customer service is. Providing excellent customer service may be easy, but if not done correctly, it is manageable. Handling consumer requests, complaints, and comments across multiple channels and platforms can take a lot of work. It's frequently essential to handle delicate or complicated circumstances that demand tact and sensitivity.

ChatGPT provides witty and approachable customer service solutions. It makes it possible to develop chatbots that can effectively handle customer requests, complaints, and comments via various platforms and channels. Customers can receive customized information, advice, recommendations, or solutions from these chatbots according to their needs and preferences. Additionally, ChatGPT improves customer relations by producing replies that correspond with users' messages or emotions. It also guarantees that accuracy, clarity, tone, and politeness are maintained. Creating scripts or templates for various scenarios or situations and providing advice and best practices for efficient communication make customer service discussions more seamless.

ChatGPT enables companies to obtain insightful data by creating surveys or reviews based on their customers' experiences or input. Creating incentives or awards based on loyalty or general contentment even helps promote customer involvement and satisfaction.

6. Simplify the Management of Projects

Any firm must successfully plan, carry out, oversee, manage, and close down projects, emphasizing project management's significance. Project management mistakes can result in excessive demands and complexity. Managing various activities, resources, stakeholders, risks, problems, adjustments, and deadlines is frequently necessary.

Project management becomes streamlined effortlessly because of ChatGPT's sophisticated features. Creating project plans based on your goals, scope, budget, timetable, and quality streamlines the procedure and guarantees a thorough and well-organized method. It makes effective progress tracking possible by giving reports and real-time updates on the project's state. Task and role delegation is streamlined thanks to ChatGPT, which helps allocate team members according to their availability and skill sets. 

It also keeps track of each member's performance and provides insightful feedback. Because ChatGPT facilitates accessible communication with team members and stakeholders across several channels and platforms, effective communication is also improved. It makes meetings and conversations run more smoothly while capturing minutes and action items for comprehensive documentation. 

The risk and problem management features of ChatGPT enable the early detection and effective remediation of possible project roadblocks. It also helps with conflict resolution and change implementation that may come up during the project.

7. Boost Originality and Idea Generation

Any business must be able to come up with new ideas, solve problems, innovate, and improve its offerings, which emphasizes the value of creativity and brainstorming. Nevertheless, difficulties and annoyances may arise from these methods' poor use. Successful creativity and brainstorming sessions require addressing typical challenges, including breaking through mental hurdles, finding inspiration, and avoiding groupthink.

ChatGPT offers clever and entertaining ways to spark your imagination, which can help you improve creativity and brainstorming. It is excellent at producing ideas in response to your prompts or keywords, assisting you in exploring novel avenues, or honing already-existing notions. Producing striking illustrations, scenarios, case studies, or narratives sparked by your thoughts or concepts facilitates the creative process. To evaluate the viability and potential of your ideas, it might also produce challenging or thought-provoking questions. ChatGPT inspires creativity by creating catchy headlines, slogans, names, titles, or logos that complement your ideas. Moreover, ChatGPT can produce code for you based on your conceptions or ideas.

8. Boost the Creation and Editing of Documents

Any organization must be able to communicate messages, information, or data effectively and professionally, which highlights the significance of creating and updating documents. These chores must be carried out correctly to avoid becoming tiresome and time-consuming. Successful document development and editing processes often require addressing formatting issues, fixing grammatical and spelling faults, and preventing plagiarism.

By giving you clever and straightforward ways to generate and edit documents, ChatGPT can help you enhance document creation and editing. It is excellent at creating documents using templates or prompts, providing an easy place to start when developing material. It acts as a competent editor, quickly adding your comments or recommendations to improve your writing.

Verifying grammar, spelling, punctuation, tone, clarity, and accuracy guarantees the caliber of your work. Furthermore, ChatGPT recommends enhancements or modifications to polish your texts further. By giving you document summaries specific to your needs or target audience, it also helps to condense material. ChatGPT can rewrite or paraphrase your texts to conform to your desired style and tone. It helps with precise source citation generation according to your chosen format or style and helps with proper citation formatting. ChatGPT can examine your documents for plagiarism, guaranteeing their uniqueness and integrity.

9. Produce Code and Content

Any organization needs to create value, engage customers, foster trust, and spur growth; these are just a few reasons that content and code are essential. However, creating content and code can be demanding and complex if done incorrectly.

I really really REALLY hope I can get in this fuckin sound engineering ba program bc if not I’m kinda screwed

There’s another school in my state that looks great! And it’s fucking 9 hours away.

Found another program that looks good but it’s like a certification program and doesn’t get you a ba. Also kinda shifty looking - been around since 2014 and has 58 likes on Facebook? Links on website don’t work so I can’t even tell exactly where they are? There are SO many scam degrees and programs out there for audio engineering and music so I’m suspicious.

Lawrence tech just wants to make me do a ton of math, doesn’t care that it’s not practical for the actual work 99.999% of sound engineers do, and doesn’t care that I have a mathematical learning disability making higher level maths impossible for me, plus charges an arm and a leg and then some.

Truss Options for Touring vs. Permanent Installations: Making the Right Structural Choice

In the world of live production and architectural installations, trussing is far more than just a structural necessity—it's a strategic choice. Whether you’re designing a cutting-edge touring rig for high-end concerts or outfitting a performing arts center with a permanent overhead grid, selecting the appropriate truss system can significantly impact safety, efficiency, visual integrity, and long-term ROI.

This guide compares truss solutions for touring productions versus permanent installations, helping production teams, venue owners, and consultants make informed decisions based on performance demands, aesthetics, safety compliance, and operational needs.

The Purpose of Truss in Modern Production Environments

A truss system functions as the backbone of stage and architectural rigging—supporting lighting arrays, video walls, audio clusters, projection systems, and set pieces. Engineered with geometric precision, most trusses rely on triangular or square lattice frameworks to distribute weight efficiently over long spans while maintaining structural integrity.

But while the core function remains the same, the demands of a mobile touring rig differ sharply from those of a fixed venue. Understanding this distinction is essential to ensuring your system performs reliably under the pressures of touring or the permanence of architectural integration.

Touring Truss Systems: Designed for Mobility and Speed

In fast-paced touring environments, trussing must prioritize lightweight construction, rapid deployment, and transport efficiency.

Key Characteristics:

Material: Primarily high-grade aluminum for optimal strength-to-weight ratio

Connectivity: Tool-less spigot or conical couplers for rapid assembly and disassembly

Modularity: Standardized lengths and corner pieces allow flexibility across different stage designs

Pre-Rig Capability: Fixtures and cabling can be mounted off-site, reducing setup time significantly

Stackability: Touring truss systems are engineered for compact truck pack and minimal footprint

These features are engineered for efficiency without compromising load ratings or safety compliance. Touring rigs must endure repetitive stress—daily assembly and disassembly, transport vibrations, and varying weather conditions—making structural resilience and maintenance accessibility key priorities.

Permanent Truss Installations: Engineered for Longevity and Precision

In contrast, permanent installations demand a focus on architectural integration, load endurance, and aesthetic harmony within the space.

Key Characteristics:

Material: Steel trusses are often preferred for their superior load-bearing capacity and durability

Customization: Fixed truss systems are tailored to venue dimensions, ceiling height, and acoustics

Integration: Often combined with motorized hoists or fly systems for easy servicing and scene changes

Safety Standards: Requires engineering certification, building code compliance, and routine inspections

Commonly used in theaters, convention centers, broadcast studios, houses of worship, and performing arts venues, permanent truss systems are designed not only for function, but also for architectural cohesion. In these environments, form must follow function, and precision installation is critical.

Material Considerations: Aluminum vs. Steel

Aluminum Truss

Excellent for mobile use due to its light weight

Resistant to corrosion—especially beneficial for outdoor applications

Supports moderate load capacities ideal for lighting and AV systems

Easier to handle and store, saving labor costs on touring crews

Steel Truss

Higher load-bearing capabilities for larger fixtures and set pieces

Preferred for permanent architectural integration and outdoor installations

Requires professional treatment to prevent rust over time

Heavier and less suited for mobile applications, but ideal for long-term installations

Load Ratings, Safety, and Compliance

Regardless of application, every truss system must be evaluated for point load, uniform distributed load (UDL), and environmental factors such as wind or seismic activity (for outdoor or rooftop installations).

For touring systems, frequent inspections between setups are standard protocol. For permanent systems, annual third-party inspections and load re-certifications may be required, especially in public venues.

Understanding load distribution—whether a system will support a centralized video wall or evenly spaced lighting—is critical to selecting the right truss profile and material.

Control Systems: Manual vs. Motorized

Permanent setups increasingly rely on motorized hoists or fly systems to allow technical crews to lower truss grids for fixture maintenance, reconfiguration, or safety checks. These systems enhance accessibility, reduce labor intensity, and significantly improve safety by limiting the need for ladders or lifts.

Motorized trusses are an investment, but for high-ceiling venues or multipurpose stages, they deliver unmatched convenience and operational efficiency.

Hybrid Approaches: When Touring Meets Permanent

For some venues—like those hosting rotating exhibitions or semi-annual productions—a hybrid system might offer the best of both worlds. Incorporating modular aluminum trusses into a fixed grid or adding mobile truss towers with motorized lifts allows for both creative flexibility and technical efficiency.

This approach works especially well in event spaces, galleries, or performance halls looking to stay versatile without compromising structure or safety.

Final Take

Whether you're managing a multi-city tour or designing a purpose-built performance space, your truss system should align with your operational model, production demands, and long-term goals. Touring systems deliver speed and agility, while permanent installations promise stability and precision. The right choice not only ensures safety and functionality—it enhances the creative possibilities of the entire production environment. Careful planning, engineering consultation, and investment in quality materials will pay off in every performance or activation that follows. To ensure reliability and long-term value, it’s always wise to purchase your trussing and rigging solutions from a reputable professional shop that understands industry standards and can offer expert support. Whichever direction you choose, build it strong, build it safe—and build it smart.

I suppose the best place to begin an introduction is at the very beginning. But let's be real, that's 35 years of filler that I'm sure most of you don't have the time to read through. Life is short, and life is busy, so how about we bullet point the highlights and "need to knows" leading up to the journey that you're all here for!

Hang on to your butts, I'm about to throw a lot of information at you in rapid fire succession.

I was born in April of '89 and was raised on the East Coast of Canada.

I have 4 older brothers, my parents are still together, and aside from a few hiccups I had a pretty good home life.

I have some alcohol related trauma due to my dad's addiction. He was never violent or abusive, but there are some mental scars that never fully healed. (Note he is now sober and our relationship is much better these days.)

I have a very close relationship with my mom.

My mom babysat so I was raised with 3 girls my age who are my sisters from other misters. We may not be related by blood, but we have that same bond that sisters have.

My family would have been considered lower middle class.

I was a tom boy growing up. I was more interested in video games and beast wars than barbies and baby dolls.

I started showing signs of mental health issues (anxiety, depression & panic attacks) around 10 years old (the same time my period started) but they were not addressed until my late 20s.

I had severe acne in my teens and have bad permanent scaring on my cheeks as a result. This led to an ongoing struggle with Body Dysmorphia and a lot of money spent on skin resurfacing that never worked.

High School was horseshit but I never dealt with any severe bullying. These were the years, however, that I began self-harming.

I wasn't "popular" per say, but I had lots of friends growing up.

I started working with a paper route at 10, then at 16 got my first job in retail at a Dollar store that was located next to a strip club. I will regale you with those stories in a future post.

I would be employed in the customer service industry without a break for the next 8 years.

I got my BA in English straight out of High School and put myself in crippling debt for a useless piece of paper.

During a night of D&D spent over at one of my friends' exes apartments, at 19 years old, I had my first kiss, got drunk for the first time, and lost my virginity all in one shot.

I did not drink or do drugs as a teen.

I have never done hard drugs or smoked cigarettes.

I have only been drunk about 5 times in my life, only once bad enough for a hang over, and rarely ever have a drink even to this day.

I didn't start smoking weed until my mid 20s.

I went full emo (aesthetic, music, and personality) in University.

My dream job is to be a novelist.

I have a certificate in Photography and shoot nature as a hobby, and pets as a paid gig from time to time.

I had a popular YouTube channel for like 5 minutes in 2009 but then I panicked and deleted it.

I have never had a career outside of customer service.

I have only had five sexual partners in my life.

I have only ever had two relationships last more than 2 months.

I identified as aromantic asexual for a very long time.

I do not currently know what I identify as sexually. Most likely aromantic bisexual, but it's very fluid.

I have been with my Husband for approximately 10 years.

I have attempted suicide twice.

I was diagnosed with PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) around the time I was 30 and began LIFE CHANGING prescription medication (sertraline).

I do not like nor do I ever want children so I got my tubes tied at 32.

I'm a huge animal lover and as of this time have owned 2 cats, 4 dogs, 3 budgies, 2 hamsters, 1 rabbit, and 7 rats over the course of my lifetime.

I have an incomplete education in IT Web Design and Audio Engineering.

I have vocal training but hate the sound of my voice.

I made money streaming video games on twitch with some friends for a bit in 2016 - 2017.

I started working in the donation rooms of thrift stores in 2016 and honestly if it wasn't for the bullshit politics of the companies I've worked for I could totally see myself staying in that industry. I wouldn't be against opening my own thrift shop one day.

I have been an introvert since Junior High.

I am agnostic.

Okay... Alright, okay, alright.

I think that covers all the need-to-knows of my life before I said "Fuck it" and started taking off my clothes in front of the camera. Thanks for sticking with me through that whole information dump. Hopefully that's enough to give you a bit of an idea of who I am, and can maybe help break that idea that all sex workers have tragic pasts and severe trauma.

My life has never been tragic. Yes, there have been hurdles I've had to overcome, an alcoholic parent, navigating life with severe anxiety and depression, and the adolescent struggles any teenager and young adult may face. But really, my life has honestly been kind of uneventful, and I don't mean that as a bad thing!

This is my foundation, the building blocks that made me who I am today. And who is that?

Well, stick around and I'll tell you!
