Hot rolled coils provide:

Thicknesses ranging from ultra-thin (0.5mm) to heavy (25mm).

Tight tolerance levels for precision.

Uniform thickness throughout the coil.

Low surface roughness.

3. Surface Finish and Performance Characteristics

Surface finish often determines project success. Advanced hot rolled coils offer:

Smooth, scale-free surfaces.

Greater paintability and coating adhesion.

Resistance to corrosion.

Aesthetic appeal for visually exposed applications.

4. Mechanical Properties

Professional projects demand measurable performance. The best hot rolled coils exhibit:

High yield strength (250-500 MPa).

Excellent elongation properties.

Centipede facts I know thanks to ninblr and my own insanity! And some of them have kept me awake at night because of the character.

Centipedes are good mothers. (AAAAAAAA)

The main threats to centipede populations are habitat loss and invasive species.

Centipedes are nocturnal animals that thrive in damp environments and regularly seek them if given a chance.

Some centipedes have compound eyes, others have no eyes at all.

Centipedes are very opportunistic hunters. They are also insectivorous and will eat anything they can fit in their mouths.

Centipede are venomous, and the venom is harmful to humans.

Mother centipedes will guard and groom their eggs, often wrapping their bodies around them for protection. This leaves them vulnerable to predators, but the centipede doesn't seem to care.

broke: gilear died and wasn’t revivified during the time jump and became a devil fully by accident

woke: following his decision to be more active and supportive in his daughter’s life, gilear found a path that allowed him to become an undying patron given the fact that he’s died so many times and provide help in battles remotely

bespoke: fig’s steadfast belief in him and the bad kids’ continued insistence that he was the chosen one caused gilear to ascend to near godhood and transform into a planetar

Struggling with my excitement over the general resurgence of Halloween spirit & reluctance to smother anyone’s hard-earned joy vs my frustration with most of the decorating or DIY options creating massive disposable waste piles of plastic and foam.

SOMEHOW I will rekindle the population’s love of paper mache and repurposing trash instead of buying 40 brand new pool noodles to cut up and cover with plastic wrap

When you think you've finally settled on the NPC you want to marry, but then you meet another interesting character and suddenly want to pursue them too. You’re curious about their story, but your heart won’t let you divorce your current spouse—so you start a new save file. Then another. Each one with a different farmer OC, each with their own love interest and story. Before you know it, you've built an entire farming game world where your OCs coexist. And now, every time you find another NPC attractive, you have to create yet another OC, complete with a backstory, personality, and design… until it becomes a full-blown creative headache. 😵

here’s the thing. if phoenix wright really was a theatre/art double major or a theatre major with an art minor or vice versa that boy would’ve had a SHIT TON of work. both are so incredibly time consuming that a lot of colleges don’t even allow you to double major in those two fine arts, especially ones with quality bfa programs, which a lot of fics/headcanons tend to imply phoenix was a part of. he would’ve been spending so many hours upon hours in both acting studios and art studios that he probably would’ve only been able to leave the arts building to sleep and maybe eat and even then he’d still have rehearsals that stretch into late late hours of the night plus memorizing lines plus firing shit in a kiln plus doing art/theatre history classes plus all of his OTHER gen ed requirements. basically what i’m saying is that if phoenix wright did all of that for the first two or three years of undergrad and then was like “nope nevermind i’m becoming a lawyer” he probably looked at all the requirements and was like damn. okay. this law school shit is EASY

As a little farewell gift to the remake, here's a small analysis on Ataru and Lum's final exchange in the series.

Personally, I find this exchange very interesting and that it has two very important meanings to it, especially considering how it is phrased:

Ataru saying that he'll eventually say 'I love you', just not now. He basically admits that he loves her here, but indirectly ;) Like, he's not even trying to be tsundere!! There's no 'I don't like you, idiot!!', no 'Yeah, whatever, I guess...' and no ignoring or going 'hmph!'!! He openly states how he feels here and I find this incredible character development considering he could've said any of the previous mentioned but didn't. Early, middle and even the first half of later UY era Ataru would never say such words and would've easily jumped at the options I mentioned but here he basically says 'I love you but I'm not going to say the words until my deathbed'!! It really shows how far Ataru's come especially regarding his relationship with Lum. His major character arc in the series is about growing more comfortable with showing his true self and accepting his emotions and you can really see that he has mostly achieved that by the end. It's beautiful to see how much he's changed and even though this is already so great, what really gets me going feral 100% is the second meaning to their exchange..

The subtle promise in this exchange. Lum tells Ataru the she'll make him say 'I love you' even if it takes her entire life, which suggests that she won't leave him alone till he says the words. Her adding 'even if it takes my entire life' to it, more or less would have what she says mean 'Hopefully, I'll be with you, for life'. Ataru's response is that he'll say it on his deathbed which means that Ataru would only say the magic words right before he dies, which would mean that he wants Lum to be with him till then or to say it in simpler terms, his response would more or less mean 'I want to be with you for life, too'. And since he's supposed to be saying 'I love you' on his deathbed, his words here could also mean 'I'll love you till the end'. This acts as a sort of promise between them, a promise that they'll keep loving and being with each other till the end of time.

To others, it seems like all they're going to do is fight for life, but Ataru and Lum know what they truly mean because no one understands them more than each other.

something something clones collecting all the different social markers of personhood and still feeling like theyre playing at it you can get the money but youre not made to earn it you can change how you look but youre made to look the same you can be who you want but you'll never undo how you were raised its a terrible horrible pantomime just one more thing maybe the outside will match the inside maybe if you get mad enough it'll sound like a person maybe your violence will look different than the drills. asking the droid is a formality- it exists fundamentally as a thing to do others' bidding and everyone knows that's true

the key difference between kaiser and isagi as guys who boost their self-esteem by beating others is that isagi isn't satisfied by overcoming opponents who aren't a match for his skill while kaiser exclusively picks fights he thinks he can win
