Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in
#viktor#arcane#ig my assumption would be that he wears both simultaneously cause in the scene where he injects the shimmer#it seems implied that he just threw off his clothes and kept experimenting#so one might assume he was already wearing the smaller one underneath#tho it is a funny image to think of him just being like 'one sec i gotta go all the way home and grab my other brace to do this'#he can take off the back brace too cause hes not wearing it in the scene where he's in the hospital bed and you can see his shoulder#where the strap would be#but that one seems to make even less sense functionality wise#everything looks like its screwed together#or screwed INTO him#but only the top bolts on his spine are i think#in the close ups of his back brace model it looks like theres cushioning underneath the parts of it that cover the rest of his spine#so he can take it off. but HOW#what parts of it unscrew/detatch to pull open and off#does it not do that at all and he just has to shimmy it off his shoulder and all the way down his legs to get it off like a romper#the shape language of the designs are cool but like. tell me how it wooorrkkksss#forgive me if im just dumb and dont know at all how braces work and theres a very simple practical explanation for all this#any king who wants to infodump about mobility aids at me....the floor is yours#something to be said i suppose about the fact that zaunites have crazy prosthetics with wild augmentations that work flawlessly#and piltover's like. idk heres some fucking uncomfortable ass metal. salo gets wheelchair in non ada compliant place#they havent ever needed to adapt to accommodate disabilities etc etc#or maybe artists were just like 'heres a design' and everybody clapped and didnt give it a second thought#and then they just turned off the visibility on the mesh when they didnt need it knowing thered not be a scene where its taken off#dont even wanna THINK about what that rig would look like#like 40 different controllers#soft body and rigid hard surfaces needing to move together....#a cold chill just shot up my spine#<- guy who is only an animator and doesnt know how to rig#forgive the magic wand tool with zero cleanup. i am lazy

moder my best friend moder the ritual
#personal#moder as a monster design just screams FUCK WITH ME !!!!!! and i truly love that#also im just obsessed with her as a concept#an old god whose forest keeps shrinking. an old god who was forgotten by the larger world#an old god who cannot leave the bounds of a slowly diminishing territory. an old god who cannot change or adapt#and i LOOOOVE that there is no 'winning' against her. the protagonist escapes. moder returns to the forest. no one wins#all his friends are dead and moder's cult is decimated. they both lose. and all they can do now is go home and grieve#he can never be who he was before entering that forest again. and neither can she. because everyone who worshipped her is gone#does that kill her? who knows!

We had guests actively choose the air mattress and sofa over our Berlin-Wall era, cheap, folding couch in the guest room, so we figured that particular hole-riddled tetanus vector full of rusty staples had lived its best life and was ready for recycling. We looked at Ikea beds we liked, and then went online to find a used one. Wife liked Brimnes.
Now, we have owned this bed's big brother. We left it at our last apartment because assembling it damn near made my FIL cut ties with us, three pages into the manual. The handles have ripped open my shins many, many times. They don't just peel the skin off, they bruise while they do so. Being aware of the fact that it happens changes NOTHING to your chance of injury. Assembling the handles upside down, ditto. If there's one series I could purge from Ikea's product line, it would be Brimnes.
But I love my wife more than I hate Brimnes handles. And this one is way easier to assemble than the double-size one. So we both put on our big girl panties, and compromised. We would look for a Brimnes bed, on purpose. And we were doing literally anything else then putting the original handles on.
Within a month, she found a Ye Olde Craigslist seller who agreed to sell us a third-hand bed with two minor blemishes for €279 off its minimum €329-without-shipping-it-home in-store price. With the slightly better mattress option that costs €70 more. And with 3 sets of fitted sheets for the mattresses included. (Disney princesses summon songbirds, mine summons affordable used furniture.) Our fate sealed, I went online, and before looking to spend more money, checked if anyone had perhaps designed an alternate handle to be 3D printed.
Dear reader, if you look for Brimnes on thangs.com today, you find 2 absolute terrors who recreated the OG handles, though one of them says it's for a different piece of furniture than the bed and might be unaware of the danger they're in. You also get 1 person who designed a cover for the handles, to be printed in the softest TPU money can buy. And you get 3 people actively damning the bed's murder handles in their model descriptions and offering a completely different, non-gouging design to attach with the original holes and screws provided. (We went with Aldan4uk's.)
#brimnes#3D printing#adaptive design#accessibility#know thyself#make your home work for you#your tribe sees you#i am not alone#could I have printed this in a different color?#yes#glow in the dark was there to freak out overnight guests#also pikachu yellow#i am not ordering extra filament for two 20 gram prints#make do and mend#it can mean many things#we now have 3 pieces of furniture in our apartment that were not at one point sold by Ikea#this thing printed in less than an hour per handle and needed no supports#clean print#ready for use straight off the bed#there's an invisible ergonomic slant on the bottom#chef's kiss#one of the sheet sets has holes#don't sleep in jeans people#i married the furniture finding princess#my wife married the clothing mending princess

Adapting to Change | How a Construction Cost Estimating Service Reflects Post-Pandemic Architecture Trends
Introduction
The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped the world in many ways, and architecture and construction were no exception. As businesses, governments, and individuals adjusted to a new reality, architectural trends shifted to reflect the changing needs and priorities. The rise of remote work, health and wellness concerns, and sustainability considerations all influence post-pandemic architecture. For construction professionals, accurately predicting the costs associated with these evolving trends requires expertise and an adaptive approach. A construction cost estimating service plays a crucial role in translating these new architectural trends into budget forecasts that ensure projects align with both contemporary demands and financial realities.
Health and Wellness in Architecture
The post-pandemic world has heightened awareness around health, safety, and wellness, influencing design priorities in both residential and commercial buildings. Features such as improved ventilation, touchless systems, enhanced cleaning protocols, and biophilic design are now at the forefront of architectural planning. Incorporating these features requires more thoughtful material selection, specialized systems, and layout adjustments—all of which affect the overall cost.
A construction cost estimating service helps by:
Calculating costs for enhanced HVAC systems: Modern ventilation systems that improve air quality are now considered a necessity in many buildings. Estimators evaluate the costs of high-performance HVAC systems, including filtration and UV systems to sanitize the air.
Incorporating biophilic design features: The integration of natural elements like indoor plants, green walls, or natural lighting can increase construction costs. Estimators forecast the costs of implementing these sustainable design features, which enhance the occupant's health and well-being.
Factoring in touchless and smart systems: The demand for touchless technologies in elevators, faucets, doors, and lighting has surged. These systems can significantly impact the budget, and estimators need to evaluate both installation and long-term maintenance costs.
Flexibility and Adaptability in Building Design
The pandemic has shown that flexibility in design is more critical than ever. The future of work is likely to involve a hybrid model, with employees spending time both in the office and at home. As a result, buildings must be adaptable, with spaces that can be easily reconfigured to accommodate changing needs. This adaptability requires careful consideration of layout, movable walls, and multipurpose rooms.
A construction cost estimating service assists by:
Assessing costs for modular and flexible construction systems: The use of modular systems that allow for easy reconfiguration of interior spaces can be more expensive upfront, but they offer long-term flexibility. Estimators calculate the initial and potential long-term costs of these systems.
Evaluating the expense of adaptable spaces: Offices that can easily transform into collaborative spaces or quiet zones for remote work require specialized designs and finishes. Cost estimators provide insights into how these flexible spaces impact the overall budget.
Factoring in future-proofing elements: Buildings that are designed to adapt to new technology, office layouts, or residential trends require investments in infrastructure such as extra power outlets, robust Wi-Fi networks, and data cabling. Estimators calculate these future-proofing costs into the initial budget.
Sustainability and Environmental Considerations
The pandemic has increased focus on sustainability, with more individuals and businesses prioritizing environmental impact and energy efficiency. In the post-pandemic era, green building practices are no longer a luxury but an expectation. From net-zero energy buildings to the use of sustainable materials, the integration of sustainability into architecture affects the overall cost structure.
A construction cost estimating service can support these efforts by:
Estimating costs for energy-efficient technologies: Solar panels, energy-efficient windows, green roofs, and sustainable insulation are in high demand as part of eco-conscious building practices. Estimators ensure that the integration of these technologies is adequately budgeted.
Accounting for green certification processes: Many buildings aim to achieve certifications such as LEED or BREEAM. The requirements for these certifications may increase both direct costs and timeframes. Estimators factor these additional requirements into the budget.
Evaluating lifecycle cost benefits: While sustainable materials and energy-efficient designs may increase upfront costs, they often provide long-term savings through lower operational expenses. Estimators incorporate these lifecycle savings into the cost estimate, demonstrating both the immediate investment and the long-term financial benefits.
Changes in Residential Design
The pandemic has also affected the way residential spaces are designed. As more people worked and studied from home, the demand for dedicated home offices, larger living spaces, and outdoor areas increased. Homeowners are seeking spaces that enhance their quality of life and provide greater comfort, privacy, and connection to the outdoors.
A construction cost estimating service helps by:
Estimating the costs for home office and study spaces: Dedicated home offices or study spaces require additional design considerations such as soundproofing, technology integration, and proper lighting. Estimators calculate the costs associated with creating these spaces.
Factoring in outdoor living spaces: Outdoor areas such as patios, gardens, and outdoor kitchens have become essential. Estimators evaluate the costs of landscaping, outdoor furniture, and specialized features like fire pits, ensuring that the outdoor living space is fully integrated into the budget.
Evaluating the impact of larger floorplans: As more people seek larger homes to accommodate home offices and extended family, the costs of materials and labor can increase. Estimators adjust the budget based on changes in square footage and layout.
Conclusion
The post-pandemic era has brought about a new wave of architectural trends focused on health, flexibility, sustainability, and comfort. As architects and builders embrace these trends, construction cost estimating services play a crucial role in ensuring that projects meet both the design requirements and the budget constraints. From advanced HVAC systems to sustainable building materials and adaptable layouts, accurate cost estimations are key to successfully implementing these changes. As the world continues to adapt, construction professionals must remain agile and responsive to the evolving needs of the built environment, ensuring that both current and future construction projects reflect the demands of a post-pandemic society.

Vague memories of that state of writing 30k flow induced stories in 3 days ~~
Those child free, job I cared nothing about and living in an apartment with no mortgage days XD
#The one benefit of now having lived in our ‘perfect’ house for 12 years is the partner is fully committed to an apartment again after we—#—somehow work out what to do with the younger kid who will still be in school#Honestly home maintenance is a fucked up time sink#Wish they designed better apartments here tho#the 1950s social housing apartments are 1000000x better designed than supposedly luxury apartments these days#re: sun ventilation fresh air cross flow adaptability of space and room size.#these days the developer optimisation principles overrule design principles because they can meet the ‘rating’ requirements-#-just by whacking in fancy glazing on the one solitary window and putting acoustic underlay

"The average pediatric wheelchair can cost thousands of dollars. And when children grow and their needs evolve — or a wheelchair gets damaged — those costs multiply.
So, the team at MakeGood NOLA, a New Orleans-based adaptive design lab, has made something that can transform the world for disabled children.
“Introducing the world’s first fully 3D-printed wheelchair,” MakeGood founder and president Noam Platt started a recent social media video.
He wheels a small, almost toy-like lime-green wheelchair into the frame, complete with a matching harness, suitable for children ages 2 to 8.
“Everything from the body, to the wheels, to the tires, the seat, and even the straps, all were 3D printed on a regular Bambu Labs A1 machine,” Platt continued.
This means the design is fully compatible with a regular 3D printer anyone can have in their home.
“We designed this to be modular and easy to make,” Platt continued. “Really, anyone with a 3D printer and some filament can download the files and print it.” [Note: You can also use 3D printers for free or a small cost at some public libraries and maker spaces, opening up accessibility even further.]
Once the prototype is completely finished, it will be available as a fair-use download that anyone can use for free.

Platt said that because it has a modular design, the wheelchair can be put together without any tools or glue. And if any part of it breaks or is damaged, users can simply re-print the single piece they need.
“As a wheelchair user I love everything about this,” TikTok user @thisisharlie commented on Platt’s video debuting the wheelchair.
“Mine costs more than my car, I can’t imagine having to buy a new one every year or two as they outgrow it,” @thisisharlie continued. “You’re going to change the world.”
For Platt, that’s always been the plan.
When he created MakeGood in 2021, the nonprofit design lab was thinking of the more than 1 billion people around the globe who live with disabilities.
“Since traditional design often overlooks diverse bodies and minds, it is crucial to reshape the built environment,” MakeGood shares on its website. “The challenges our communities face — both physical and social — are solvable.”
MakeGood works with individuals to co-create their adaptive design solutions, centering the “Need Knower,” the disabled person or their primary caregivers, throughout the entire process.
Since the founding of MakeGood, 1,600 individualized adaptive devices have been delivered to families for free. Platt’s team found a niche with this wheelchair, which they call the Toddler Mobility Trainer, or TMT.
On its website, the organization says the wheelchairs were “designed with therapists from all over the world” and offer “unmatched mobility and independence to young kids.”
Children and parents agree.
“It’s an A+,” one parent said of an earlier prototype of the TMT in a report by CBS News. “It’s helped [my son] become more mobile and be able to adapt into the other things that he’s going to be offered. It’s helped his development.”
At the start of the design process, Platt reached out to area hospitals to see if he could fill a need.
“Part of it is empowering clinicians that we can go beyond what is commercially available,” Platt told CBS News. “We can really create almost anything.”
Now in the final stages of tweaking the TMT design to be ready for release, Platt is eager to get the wheelchair rolled out and into the homes of the children who need them most.

“We think this sort of 3D printing and design is going to be huge for accessibility, and for wheelchairs specifically,” Platt said in his social media video.
In the meantime, people can request a free chair from MakeGood.
“We have a growing list of people who’ve requested these, and once we finish the design, we’ll start filling those requests with custom-printed chairs, including things that you might need for your particular chair,” Platt said in a follow-up video.
Because the chairs are easily 3D printed, they can come in any color and can be modified to include other accommodations, like a section to hold a breathing device or other aid. With years of customization and design experience under his belt, this new innovation is simply an extension of Platt’s dedication to inclusive design.
In 2023, Platt told New Mobility: “I feel like every time I deliver one of these [assistive] devices, I get a hopeful feeling that the world has been changed a little bit for the better for the next generation.”"

San Francisco is taking a step towards solving its housing crisis and boosting its downtown by making it easier to convert empty office buildings into homes. Proposition C, approved by voters, offers tax breaks for developers to convert up to 5 million square feet of commercial space by 2030. Mayor London Breed believes this will help the city meet a state mandate to create tens of thousands of new homes and diversify the downtown. According to a report, 40% of the downtown buildings evaluated by architecture and design firm Gensler are suitable for conversion, compared to only 20% in North America.
