Nestable Barricades Usage & Application

Road safety is a critical aspect of transportation infrastructure, and Nestable barricades play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of road users. These structures are designed to guide, warn, and protect individuals from potential hazards on the road. They play an important role in achieving this goal by directing traffic, controlling crowds, and marking construction zones.

Understanding Nestable Barricades

Nestable barricades play a vital role on construction sites by defining boundaries, restricting access to hazardous areas, and guiding traffic. Their bright colors and reflective strips ensure high visibility, especially in low-light conditions. The nestable design allows easy transportation and convenient storage when not in use, making them a practical and adaptable solution for enhancing safety and organization in dynamic construction environments.

2. Road Maintenance and Construction

Enhanced visibility is achieved through the use of reflective materials and high-visibility colors, while their lightweight design facilitates easy deployment and relocation as necessary. The advantages of quick deployment and effortless stacking contribute to efficient setup and removal, minimizing disruptions to the flow of traffic.

3. Event Management

Nestable barricades play an important role at events, concerts, and public gatherings, by crowd controlling, and guiding individuals safely along designated pathways. These barricades often boast customizable features such as event branding, and their stackable design simplifies transportation to and from event venues. The ease of handling and storage presents a distinct advantage for event organizers seeking a flexible and portable solution for effective crowd management.

4. Airport and Transportation Hubs

Nestable barricades play a crucial role in guiding passengers, establishing queues, and managing access to specific areas. Equipped with signage for clear communication. The lightweight and portable nature of nestable barricades proves particularly advantageous in dynamic airport environments, where the need for frequent adjustments in configurations demands a flexible and easily deployable solution for effective crowd control and guidance.

MDNI 18+

The birds outside woke you up this morning, the sound of their sweet melodies peacefully bringing you out of your much needed slumber. The sun was barely rising over the mountains so you knew it was still very early. The alarm clock next to you read ‘5:44 am’. You knew Chan was laid behind you, his heavy arm curled over your figure, holding you close. 

You took a moment to appreciate the feeling of being trapped by him - of his warmth. This was quickly becoming your favorite pastime; laying here with him just enjoying his presence. A part of you wanted nothing more than to lay here all day, wasting away with him. A bigger part of you needed to be productive. You had slept away most of the day yesterday and were feeling quite energized from the rest. 

Chan did say last night that you had things to do today, so why not get this show on the road! It would be a nice surprise for the pack to wake up to a clean house and hot breakfast. First things first- getting out of the alphas hold on you. You shimmied against him, lightly lifting the appendage that held you hostage to squeeze out. You paused when you heard him sigh in his sleep, only to resume when he let out a snore. Cutie pie. 

You grabbed the pillow that you had been laying on and jammed it in place of where you rested previously, in Chans hold. The alpha must have smelled you on the pillow since he pulled it closer to his body. 

After doing your business in the bathroom you went on the hunt for cleaning supplies. You crept through the halls opening doors you knew to be closets until you finally found the supplies in a closet on the first floor. Upon finding them you immediately got to work. 

Starting with dusting, then sweeping and mopping the entire first floor. After that you did all the available bathrooms and then finished with a quiet clean of the top two floors. The kitchen would come after you made breakfast. Surprisingly it only took you until about 8:00 am to get all that done. You felt very efficient! To your surprise none of the boys have awoken yet. You didn’t hear one peep while cleaning. 

You also took the time to add more comfort items to the living spaces. The omega in you begged to make it more nestable so you did. Adding blankets, extra pillows and even a few of your new stuffed animals to couches and chairs. The goal was they would start to retain the smells of your new packmates then you could cuddle the items without shame. 

Next you wandered into your own room. All the bags from yesterday remained there untouched. Sorting through you put away all your clothes and picked out a nice outfit for today. It was almost summer time so you knew it would be warm today and opted for a green floral cami dress that went just above your knees. Minho must have picked this out for you, but it was so so cute you had to wear it. It was just your style. Grabbing the dress and some panties you went to take a shower and to finish getting ready for the day. 

The shower was where you did your best thinking. A place to escape just you and your thoughts. As you washed your hair and body with the strawberry scented products you reflected on the whole pack. If you were a sane person it would scare you just how comfortable you are getting with the pack in such a short amount of time. And how comfortable they are with you. 

But you’re not a sane person. You’re an omega in love. All sanity is thrown out the window when you find your mate. All you want is to be perfect for him. And in turn also for the whole pack. 

There was a blow dryer and curler amongst your things in your room as well as makeup you had chosen while shopping so when you came out you were able to fully get ready for the day. You felt very cute today, you didn’t have any reason to look super nice back when you were with your family seeing as you rarely were allowed to leave the house- and if you did leave never would you have been allowed to wear a dress or anything remotely revealing. Fathers orders. 

You hoped your alpha and pack would like it on you. You straightened yourself up before heading down to cook. It was nearing 9:30 so you hoped they would start getting up any time now. 

Down in the kitchen as you were gathering ingredients you noticed a small sound system attached to the wall and a remote sitting on the island. Grabbing the remote you pressed the power button and when you saw the small light indicating it was on you pressed play. Out came the melodies of a familiar band. 5 Seconds of Summer? Whoever is hooked up to this obviously has great taste! 

That was where Seungmin found you, whisking eggs and belting out the words to ‘She looks so perfect’ and he couldn't agree more. ‘She does look perfect’ He thought to himself. He stood there leaning against the wall admiring you for a solid 2 minutes before you noticed him, suddenly being able to smell another person around you spun around in embarrassment at being caught like that. 

“Seungmin!” 

He cracked a smile at you, eyes scanning you up and down before settling on your reddened face. “Hey baby. Whatcha doin?” 

You turned away from him to try and hide the blush that seeped onto your cheeks, “Nothing. Just trying to get breakfast together. What are you doing?” 

He shrugged “Been up for a few minutes when I heard a commotion in here. The house looks really great. Was that your doing baby?” You felt him approach you while you nodded. 

“Umm yeah, I woke up early and wanted to get some things done for you guys.” You continued to whisk the eggs without looking at him. 

“Mmm” He reached for your face, turning you towards him, “ It is greatly appreciated, omega.” 

You let out a squeak when he called you that, causing a smirk to appear on his face.

 Seungmin could smell how pleased you were so he didn’t give it another thought before he leaned down and pressed a chaste kiss directly on your lips. He pulled away and licked his own lips still gazing into your shocked eyes. 

“How long until food is ready you think?” He asked. You couldn’t believe how nonchalant he was being right now after he just kissed you!! 

‘Should I pretend my heart isn’t beating out of my chest?’ You wondered. 

“ A-about 20 minutes.” Dammit you stuttered! Get a grip! You mentally scolded yourself. 

“Perfect. I'll wake the pack”  He said it with an evil smirk, looking forward to the task. 

-----------------------------------

Wake the pack he did indeed. By playing police sirens on his phone and bursting into everyone's rooms cackling when they swore at him and dodging thrown pillows (and one stuffy from Felix). If you had known he was going to do that then you would have woken them yourself! Though admittedly it was pretty efficient, since it was a matter of minutes until the rest of your pack made their way downstairs, looking tired and grumpy. 

The grumpiness left every single one of them though, when they caught eyes on you. Looking oh so delectable in your little dress cooking for them. What a perfect thing to awaken too. 

Not that you noticed much, you were still caught up on the feeling of Seungmins lips on your own. Each boy greeted you as they came down, most giving you hugs - except Changbin who not only hugged you but did his signature of lifting you from the ground. 

When Minho had come down you thanked him for the dress. He knew you would look great in the outfit and damn he was right. 

“You’re welcome, Baby. It looks good on you.” He replied and gave you a wink

Chan came down last as you and Minho were setting the table, looking freshly showered. 

“There's my sweet girl. I was wondering where you wandered off too.” the alpha kissed your temple. He took the stack of plates from your hands and continued your task. 

“Good morning Channie.” You reached back for the plates but he shooed you out with a smack to your rear. 

“Nuh uh looks like you’ve done enough. Sit down and get some food, omega.” He raised his brows at you when it looked like you were about to protest. You begrudgingly took a seat in your normal spot. Chan gave you a pleased smile. “Good girl.” 

Once the whole pack was sat together you all discussed each other's plans. Changbin was hitting the gym (what was new there), Minho wanted to get more food for the house and Felix wanted to join him to the store, while Hyunjin had his weekly art class he teaches at the community center every wednesday afternoon. 

“What are you up to today, baby?” Jisung asked with a mouth full. 

“Oh, I don’t actually know.” You looked to Chan for the answer. 

He wiped his mouth with a napkin, “Well you have an appointment in about an hour to see a doctor, we need to make sure everything is okay after you got off the suppressants. Then we’re heading over to the police station to clear up your missing persons status.” 

You were confused. “I have a missing person status?” 

“You ran away from home, Baby. Ran away from Hongjoong, who probably paid a pretty penny for a sweet girl like you. Makes sense they would look for you.” Jeongin reasoned nervously. The youngest alpha would never admit it but he was honestly scared about the Ateez pack coming for you or Chan. It was weighing on a few of their minds. 

Chan could sense the uneasiness in the room. “But we’re getting it taken care of today. I already have it all ready to go, just need you to sign a few things and you'll be golden. No more worrying about Hongjoong.” He smiled with that predator's smile he had. His words brought you some ease, and you nodded at him. His next words though, shook you to your core.

“Plus, if that asshole did decide to show his face around here I would take care of it.” 

--------------------------------------------

After dropping off Hyunjin and Changbin at their respective locations you and Chan headed for the doctors office. Chan had assured this man was very good at his job and could be trusted. 

Doctor Bong had been Chan's doctor for years, and before that had been childhood friends with the alpha. He was a friendly beta man, albeit younger than any doctor you had ever seen, and he did his best to help you relax with small talk as he examined you. Even though you’re the first real omega he has treated he still had some knowledge as he had to do a course on omegas in medical school. 

“Given how long you had been on the suppressants I am going to need a small blood sample to examine.” Dr.Bong said woefully at seeing your expression. “ I know it’s not ideal, but you had been on some pretty powerful drugs, Y/n.” 

“Not to mention illegal.” Chan muttered scornfully. 

Bong nodded “Yes that too. There's a reason you can’t just pick up a prescription for them. They could cause a lot of damage and we need to be sure you’re functioning correctly.”  

Your alpha grabbed your hand and released a calming pheromone to relax you. “This is to help you, baby.” 

You took a deep breath and prepared for the needle. Chan was laying his scent on thick, it now taking over all your senses completely distracting you from the blood draw. You were so wrapped up in him that you didn’t notice the draw had been done until Dr.Bong was putting a bandage on you. 

You snapped out of the daze when Dr.Bong exclaimed “All done! We will send this into the lab asap and get back to you by tomorrow morning at the latest. From what I can tell so far though your body is functioning pretty normally, maybe just your hormones are a little wacky. I would refrain from any.. Unprotected fun until we get the results in to be sure.” He looked pointedly at Chan. 

“Damn” Chan smirked and you gasped in embarrassment.

“Chan!!” 

He only laughed at your mortification. 

“Before you go” Bong said, “If everything checks out alright are you going to need a prescription for non hormonal birth control?” 

You were too shy to answer correctly, only nodding when Chan said “Yes please Bong. Wanna have some time with my girl before we have babies.” 

As you were checking out with reception Chan thanked the Doctor. 

“I appreciate you getting us in to see you at such short notice Bong.” The alpha bro hugged his friend. 

 “Anything for you, Chris. I am so happy you found your person. I’ll keep you updated as soon as I get the results in.” 

“Thanks man.” He saw you approaching him, “Ready to go gorgeous?” 

You smiled happily, now that the hard part for you was over, “Yes alpha!” You turned to the doctor “Thank you Doctor Bong!” 

Your alpha grabbed your hand and you were off to your next stop. 

-----------------------------------

The people at the police station had the paperwork ready for you upon your arrival. They just had to ask you a few questions regarding your safety, you signed the document stating you were in fact not missing and that was that. 

It felt like a massive weight had been lifted from your shoulders, Chans too by the scent coming off of him. 

The sheriff congratulated Chan on finding his omega, clapping him on the back in a fatherly way. It seemed like everyone in town knew the alpha. It had been explained to you that Chan's family had lived in the town of Silver Ridge for generations, helping to cultivate it and protect it. His family owned the property you now live on, only now it belonged solely to your alpha. He had grown up here. His parents left the small town  with him and his siblings when he was a teenager, wanting a change of scenery. Chan had only returned when he was an adult and his grandfather had passed, leaving his massive home to your alpha. 

He had a stake in his family business of buying and selling massive commercial properties, so he was very wealthy. Though he didn’t flaunt it.To him it was just one of the ways he provided for his pack.  Not that you cared if he had money or not. You loved him for him, not his money. 

After the police station there was still about an hour before you were supposed to pick up Hyunjin and Changbin so Chan took you to a little diner down the road where he claimed they made ‘the best chili fries ever’ and that you had to try them. 

He dragged you to an old booth in the corner, his normal spot he claimed, and ordered a massive plate of chili fries and each of you a milkshake. 

As he ate you just admired him. It was crazy how handsome he was, even with a mouth full of fries his beauty was effortless. He caught your eyes and grinned at you. 

“What are you looking at, beautiful?” 

You looked down ashamed you had been caught staring “Nothing.” You glanced up at him to see him still looking at you in amusement. “You’re just really handsome is all, Channie.” 

He chuckled at your words “ And you are too sweet, my gorgeous girl.” 

You felt the mating claim on your neck tingle at his compliment, so subconsciously  you raised your hand and lightly touched the area. Of course Chris noticed- he never took his eyes off you- and asked in concern “ Does it still hurt?” 

“No, just..” There was that blush again. He patiently waited for you to find your words. “Just whenever you say sweet things to me.. It.. tingles.” 

The alpha let out a small growl at your admittance, feeling his pants tighten. 

“Does yours do that too, alpha?” you asked tentatively. 

“Tingle wouldn’t be the word I would use, baby. But I definitely feel the connection in my bite.” He winked at you. 

“W-what does yours feel like?” 

His stare was piercing into your soul, “Baby. I burn for you.” You gasped as he continued “ It's this ever present heat that dwells within me whenever you are near me.  As if I had been living in a tundra my whole life never knowing warmth and now I’ve suddenly been transported to the desert. Inescapable and all encompassing.” 

Oh my fucking GOD 

Did he really just say that?! 

What the fuck do I say to that? 

You were short circuiting. You just couldn’t believe this perfect specimen of a man was spilling his heart out to you, in a public diner no less! 

Your pleased scent was cascading off of you in waves at this point, Chan could see the other patrons start to turn to look at you, nostrils flaring. He noticed one alpha man in particular start to fidget in his seat while gazing at you. 

Chan narrowed his eyes as if challenging the other male before addressing you, “Time for us to go now, my love.” He threw down a few 20s on the table and stood, grabbing your hand and leading you out. Your alpha was pumping out menacing pheromones, letting others know he wasn’t one to fuck around with.  

You finally caught onto what was happening when you saw heads turning to watch you walk out. You clutched harder onto Chan, holding his arm close to you as he led you out. 

“ ‘m sorry.” You murmured as you exited the restaurant, climbing into the car as he held the door open for you. 

He leaned down and pressed a hot kiss against your mouth, letting it linger for a second before he pulled away. 

“Don’t apologize. Not your fault those bastards can't keep their eyes or their noses to themselves.” He gave you a tight smile at you before closing the door once he was sure you were secure. 

You couldn’t help but feel like you soured the mood, the guilt beginning to feel like a pit in your stomach. Chan climbed into the driver's seat next to you and started the car. He knew you felt bad about what happened. “Seriously Baby, it’s no big deal. It was about time to go pick up Jinnie and Bin anyways.” He gave you another kiss and you were off. 

----------------------------------

Your mood improved slightly after picking up the other two boys, they always brightened your day. Changbin was still slightly sweaty when he got in the car, his musk making you dizzy. As if he could tell he gave you a wink when you looked at him in the folding mirror. 

Hyunjin had a large canvas with him that was covered in a sheet blocking anyone from seeing what lies underneath. When you asked him what he had made he blushed and held the canvas close to him, muttering that it was a surprise. Of course Changbin would never let that slide so he relentlessly teased the beta, tugging on the sheet and whining about needing- not wanting - to see it. Hyunjin held his ground and refused each time, slapping the alphas hands away after every tug. 

Arriving home Changbin flung his door open and opened your door for you before Chan could, giving his alpha a sly smile when you thanked him. “Ever the gentleman, aren't you Binnie.” You teased him. He nodded enthusiastically. 

Jisung greeted you at the front door when you walked in, planting a wet smooch on your cheek causing you to squeal and laugh, pushing him away. “Jisung!” 

“Mm say my name again baby.” He leaned in for another kiss but instead licked your cheek quickly then ran away cackling maniacally. 

“AHH JISUNG!” 

 You went to chase after him but were stopped by Hyunjin grabbing your arm gently. 

“Ignore him baby, I do.” 

You huffed. “Fine.” 

The beta snickered and lowered his hand to hold yours, the other still gripping his canvas. “Can I show you something? In my room.” 

You nodded “Of course.” He led you up to his room. Chan gave your rear a pat when he passed you. 

You had never been in Hyunjins space before. The space was so…Hyunjin. Cream colored sheets and curtains, a big easel by the wide bay windows, shelves lined with paints and mountains of sketch books, and floral paintings covered the walls from floor to ceiling. His bed was unmade but it somehow added to the charm of the room. An artist's room. 

He closed the door behind you, and led you to take a seat on his bed. The beta then took the canvas in his hands - still covered- and placed it on his easel. He turned to you and fiddled with his hands. You gave him a patient look, waiting for him to gather himself. 

“Promise you won't laugh.” He states. 

You made an X over your heart. “Cross my heart, I won't laugh.” 

He let out a nervous breath and then tore the sheet from over the artwork. 

You weren't prepared for what lay underneath, a gasp leaving you. 

It was you. Hyunjin had painted you. In the exact outfit you were wearing now. He made you look ethereal. Capturing your image in a way that felt too perfect. In the painting you were sitting by an open window looking out into a field of flowers. 

“Oh my god, Hyunjin.” 

He studied your features, looking for any signs of displeasure. He found none. 

“I was teaching a class today and the topic we worked on was things that bring you joy.” You looked at him like you were going to cry, tears on your lash line. “The only thing I could think of was you. Of how effortlessly beautiful you are.” 

A sob escaped your lips involuntarily. The betas eyes widened in panic, upset he had done something wrong. He rushed to your side and took your hands in his own. “I'm sorry baby! I’ll get rid of it!” 

“No!” You demanded, still crying. “ I can’t believe you think of me this way. It’s so beautiful, Jinnie. Way too beautiful to be me.” 

He shook his head disagreeing. “ This is how I see you, baby. To me you are the most beautiful girl in the world. I can feel myself falling for you.” 

You acted without even thinking about it, and crashed your lips into his. He let out a noise of surprise and you pulled back quickly. 

“I am so sorry Hyun-” Before you could finish your sentence he kissed you again. He let go of your hands and brought them up to cup your face, deepening the kiss. He swiped his tongue along your bottom lip asking for permission which you gladly granted, parting for him. He tasted so sweet. Like rock candy, or a jolly rancher. Similar to his scent. It drove you crazy. 

He was the first to pull away, your lips chasing his. “You don’t know how badly I’ve wanted to do that.” He rested his forehead against his own, eyes closed and breathing heavy. 

You released your own shaky breath, his thumbs wiping away your tears. “I thought you were going to yesterday, when you left me in front of my door.” 

“I wanted to. I just didn’t know if you wanted me like I wanted you. Like I need you.” He could smell the sudden flare of arousal emanating from you. 

“ I do, Hyunjin. I need you too. It’s still taking some getting used to that it’s ok for me to need you, but I do. I think I’m falling for you too.” You were honest with him and he rewarded you by nuzzling his nose into yours, giving it a peck. 

“I won’t do anything to make you uncomfortable, baby.” Though if your smell was any indication you were quite enjoying yourself. 

You shook your head, “I’m not uncomfortable Jinnie. In fact I.. I want more.” 

“Oh baby.” Hyunjin purred then reattached his mouth to yours and he lightly leaned you back to lay on his bed, hovering above you while he kissed you. He stuck his tongue back into your mouth, massaging your own with the wet appendage. 

You let out a squeak when you felt his hand find your thigh, his warm fingers running up and down your skin. Your own hands found the front of his shirt, tugging him closer to you. You felt yourself get drunk on the taste of him. 

He slid his hands up to your hips, under your dress, and he drummed his fingers there. Without removing his lips from your skin he peppered kisses from your lips to your chin and down your neck, the opposite side from your mating mark. 

“Tell me to stop.” He said in between kisses. “Tell me to stop before I go too far.”  

“I don’t want you to stop.” 

“Omega.”  His right hand traveled from your hip to your clothed core, thumbing over the wet patch. “Already so wet for me, huh? I haven't even touched you yet. My dirty girl.” You could feel him smirk against your skin, his kisses turning sloppy and wet.  

He rubbed against the wet patch through your panties, pushing the material between your folds and stimulating your bundle of nerves. 

A small moan slipped from you and you bit your lip. By now your slick was building quickly, completely soaking the fabric. 

The beta hummed at feeling it. “I can feel you starting to wet my fingers, baby. Can’t let all that goodness go to waste, can we?” He cooed rhetorically. 

Hyunjin laid one more suckling kiss to your chest (that will surely turn into a hickey) then he scooted himself down your body and bunched up your dress to sit over your hips. He finally got a good look at your soaked panties- a pair of green lacy ones. ‘Fitting’ He thought. 

He was drowning in the scent of your arousal, being this close was like a slap in the face. He could taste it before he even got his mouth on you. Hyunjin looked up at your red, panting face one last time before closing his eyes and licking up the wet patch on your underwear. He let out the filthiest moan he had ever made when he made contact. In turn making you moan too. 

“Ji-jinnie.” 

At the sound of his name he reached up and pulled your panties down your hips just enough to lick you with no barrier, then he dove in with his tongue. He swiped it up and down your folds, over the slit, collecting the liquid that leaked from you, drinking it like he was parched. Like he was dying of thirst. 

Your hands found his hair and you yanked in pleasure, your back arching. He took that as his invitation to go further, slithering his tongue to circle your clit where he wrapped his lips around it and suckled. 

A whine tore through you, so good but wanting more. 

“Jinnnnie please” 

He hummed in response, the vibrations flowing straight through to your core. 

“Nnnnnggghh” you groaned. 

He humored you and brought two fingers up to your opening, coating himself in the slick, before pushing in slowly up to the last knuckle. 

Your panting got louder at the intrusion. You were finding it difficult to keep quiet with how good it felt, the whole pack probably knows by now anyway. Not that you cared right now, but later you would be mortified. Oh well that was a problem for later. 

He gave you a second to adjust, feeling you clench on his fingers every time he licked your bundle, before easing the digits out slowly then back, a steady motion that gradually got quicker as he went. Soon enough he found the perfect rhythm where your moans got the loudest. He paid attention to things like that. 

Your thighs were beginning to shake from the pleasure, you knew if he kept it up you would tip into oblivion. 

“Jinnie ‘m gonna cum.” You pulled his hair in warning. He stayed steadfast, if anything he licked harder trying to get you there. After only a few more thrusts of his fingers you came with a cry, hips bucking against his face and hands knotted in his blond locks.

‘Damn she sounds divine when she comes’ He mused in his head, instead letting a moan of his own escape him at the taste of your cum and the sweet sounds you made for him. 

He pulled his fingers out of you and lifted his face to show you the wetness that covered the bottom half of his face. Then he made a show of sucking those same fingers into his mouth, eyes rolling when they hit his tongue. 

“Hyunjin!” You squealed and hid your face, “That's so dirty!” 

“Only for you, baby.” It hurt how sincere he was. “Do you wanna continue, or was that enough? I don’t wanna push you too far.”

Even though you were a little sensitive from the last few days you still wanted him. “ Wan’ you Jinnie. Need you.” 

He stood quickly to pull down his pants and underwear, revealing his length to you. It was so pretty. Long but on the slimmer side. Drool worthy. 

He removed his bottoms from himself completely, and pulled his shirt up over his head letting you get a good look at his slim but fit figure. He was tan like he had been in the sun recently. He reached into his bedside table for a condom, remembering what his alpha had said about not cumming in you. Yet. He quickly rolled it on. 

He got back on the bed and crawled up your body to hover over you, where he then gave you a peck on the mouth. “Are you sure, baby?” 

“Yes. Please Hyunjin.” you purred. 

He groaned “You’re gonna kill me one day.” 

The beta took himself in his hand and lined himself up, sweeping through the liquid to coat him, then slid inside inch by inch, giving you time to adjust to him. 

Your arms came to wrap around his bare shoulders, a long drawn out moan in his ears like the most beautiful melodies. 

You were so warm inside, and you gripped him like a vice so tightly he almost stopped breathing. After a beat he gave you a gentle thrust, then another and another, going deeper with each one. He took one of your thighs and wrapped it around his waist to press himself further into you, letting you feel his weight. If he died now he would die a happy man, having gotten a taste of what it’s like to be with you.

With each thrust you let out small high pitched noises, unable to contain them. Not that Hyunjin wanted you too. It wasn’t long before you were close to the edge once again. You were still worked up from the last one. 

Hyunjin could feel his impending orgasm but he needed you to come first. He brought two fingers up to your mouth and ran them along your lips gathering the drool that was accumulating there. Then he took those same digits and lowered them between your bodies to your clit, where he rubbed hard figure 8s. 

That seemed to be all you needed, your arms tightening around him as you came hard on his cock. Your eyes screwed shut as you moaned.

When you came you clenched hard. Hard enough to push Hyunjin to orgasm, he crashed his lips into yours and he shook against you as he filled the condom. 

For a few minutes he just held you there against him, both of you breathing hard. He wasn’t an alpha so he didn’t have to worry about a knot and was able to slip out if you easily. He held the condom secure as he did so, then stood up and quickly took it off and disposed of it in the trash can in the corner. 

You were still panting but coming too as he stood up. Can’t believe that just happened. There was a twinge of guilt for it, but that was quickly replaced with peace when Hyunjin gave you that signature grin with his pouty lips. 

He came back to his bed where you were still laying and plopped down next to you, giving you a kiss. “How was that, baby? Are you feeling ok?” 

“Mmhmm” You answered, snuggling up to the beta, needing the after sex comfort. 

“I hope you don't regret it.” His voice was timid now, as he put his face in your hair. "Don't regret me."

“No Hyunjin, of course not. I could never regret you.” There was zero hesitancy in your voice so he knew you were telling the truth. Chan had given you explicit permission, encouraged it, so there was nothing to regret. It felt good to be loved and wanted by these boys. Hyunjin definitely made you feel that way. 

He showed it by taking care of you now, getting up to grab you some water and a fresh pair of underwear from your room. Then he plopped down next to you once again and engaged in some cuddles. You could get used to this. 

A/N: Finnnnaallllyyyyyy getting some action from the other boys >:) I am so damn proud of this one yall idekkkk. These chapters are quickly becoming more and more self indulgent lol sorry

Beta read by the lovely @ayejaii thank you bumble <3

To be fair they’re not the fanciest bentos in the world, but they make me happy and I like putting in a little effort.

self reflecting and realizing my bentos are my stupid asexual version of “I have to be the hottest person at the grocery store.” post except it’s “I have to have the most jealousy inducing lunchbox in the break room.” Which isn’t actually that hard when my coworkers have brought lunches such as an entire box of cheese-itz, a handful of rice cakes and an apple and a carrot, or 5 uncrustables. But you know. We have our little stupid ego complexes.

I was looking into how SteamOS goes together especially with regards to display technologies and one cute thing is gamescope. The base SteamOS image Desktop is X11, which is what you get if you use "desktop mode" (although KDE is changing that soon so we'll see) but games are played on a completely separate Wayland based microcompositor, gamescope.

This allows them to isolate the game graphics from the system, and is also how they manage to do some of the clever game modifications: the microcompositor can lie to the game about its resolution and refresh rate, and it has built in support for AMD's upscaler and limited ReShade support.

This is also how they manage to merge the interface of the deck and the desktop mode, which is that they don't. In Game Mode they just run gamescope directly as the only compositor, and it can do whatever it wants to the game's interface with the system. If you want some of these features on desktop, you can also use Desktop Nestability to run whatever else you want in there.

It's also how they've managed to get HDR up and running well ahead of e.g. RedHat's ongoing efforts to get HDR to the desktop. Gamescope implements a simpler implementation of HDR through DXVK that is absolutely not suitable for a desktop but works mostly fine for video games.

You could use this to run HDR on your PC, although HDR requires some third party kernel patches. You can patch those in if you want, and then you could run your own gamescope compositor on a separate session and bam! HDR games on Linux.

If I could have any superpower I’d be a shapeshifter and I’d turn into a real opossum and I’d nestle into your hair. It would be very cozy. Nestable.

Haha, thank you! That sounds nice. :)

I'm pretty sure they didn't "forget" to close their <h3> tags - it's more like they didn't bother.

In the early days of HTML, block-level tags like <hN> and <p> were not allowed to be nested, so starting a new one without closing a previous one would implicitly close the previous one automatically.

This led to people treating the tags not so much like delimiters and more like breaks - basically treating <p> as if it were a different kind of <br>. I'm pretty sure that's what's happening here with the <h3>s.

But because the rules surrounding HTML have changed since the 1990s, and because the <h3>s are styled with font size in the relative unit "em", rather than the absolute units px/in/cm/rem, the <h3>s are now nestable and the relative units for font size multiply the size with each successive nesting.

(At least, that's what I'm pretty sure is going on here.)

I'm fucking dying at this page someone shared on Bluesky.

Behold, the Embroidery Trouble Shooting Guide that forgot to close its <h3> tags.

However, when considering total cost of ownership (TCO), the decision to buy plastic pallet options is financially sound. The extended lifespan of plastic pallets—often 10 times that of wooden ones—means fewer replacements and reduced downtime. They also require less maintenance, and many are fully recyclable at the end of their life cycle, offering environmental and economic benefits.

Additionally, plastic pallets are lighter, which contributes to lower shipping costs, particularly in air freight and international logistics. When scaled across hundreds or thousands of pallets, these savings can significantly improve the bottom line.

Hygiene and Sanitation Advantages

Industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics must meet strict sanitation requirements. Wood, by its very nature, is porous and prone to absorbing liquids, which can lead to mold growth and contamination. Plastic pallets, on the other hand, are non-porous, easy to sanitize, and compliant with global food safety standards.

For companies in regulated industries, to buy plastic pallet products means a safer path to compliance. Many plastic pallets are made with FDA-approved materials, and their design often includes smooth surfaces and rounded corners to reduce the risk of microbial harborage.

Customization and Versatility

Another compelling reason to buy plastic pallet products is their customizability. Unlike wooden pallets that come in limited standard sizes, plastic pallets can be engineered to meet the unique needs of various industries. From color coding for inventory management to embedding RFID chips for tracking, the possibilities are vast.

Plastic pallets also cater to a wide range of applications, from lightweight nestable options for export to heavy-duty rackable models that support thousands of pounds. With options to suit nearly every use case, buyers can align pallet choices with operational demands.

Environmental Impact

Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a business imperative. Companies are increasingly choosing to buy plastic pallet products as part of their eco-friendly initiatives. Many plastic pallets are made from recycled materials and are themselves recyclable, helping to create a circular supply chain.

Unlike wood pallets, which often end up in landfills due to contamination or breakage, plastic pallets have a longer lifecycle and can be reprocessed into new pallets or plastic goods. This reduces the carbon footprint associated with frequent replacements and waste disposal.

Safety and Ergonomics

Workplace safety is another strong motivator to buy plastic pallet solutions. Plastic pallets are typically lighter than wooden pallets, making them easier to handle manually and reducing the risk of back injuries. Their consistent dimensions and lack of protruding nails or broken boards make them safer for workers and more predictable for automated handling systems.

Anti-slip surfaces, molded handles, and edge protection features also improve the ergonomics of handling plastic pallets. This not only boosts productivity but also enhances employee satisfaction and reduces turnover due to injury.

Compliance and International Shipping

Plastic pallets are a preferred option for international shipping due to their compliance with ISPM-15 regulations. Wooden pallets must be heat-treated or fumigated to prevent pest transmission across borders. Plastic pallets are exempt from these requirements, which reduces customs delays and streamlines cross-border logistics.

For companies engaged in global trade, choosing to buy plastic pallet options simplifies compliance and enhances reliability throughout the shipping process.

Innovation and Technology Integration

The move toward Industry 4.0 is driving innovation in logistics and supply chain management. Businesses that buy plastic pallet solutions are often looking to future-proof their operations.

Nestable Pallets

Unlocking Efficiency with Nestable Pallets: The Smart Choice for Modern Logistics

In today’s high-paced supply chain environment, businesses are constantly searching for smarter, more efficient ways to store, move, and manage their goods. One of the most innovative advancements in this space has been the development of Nestable pallets (plastic pallets). Unlike traditional wood or even stackable plastic pallets, nestable versions are designed to save space, reduce transportation costs, and streamline warehouse operations—all while being durable and environmentally responsible.

Whether you’re operating a small warehouse or managing global logistics, understanding how nestable pallets (plastic pallets) impact your business can be the key to improving efficiency and profitability.

What Are Nestable Pallets (Plastic Pallets)?

Nestable pallets (plastic pallets) are a type of material-handling platform that can be nested inside one another when not in use. This is due to their specially designed bases, often conical or hollow-legged, that allow one pallet to fit neatly into another. Unlike standard pallets that stack and take up space even when idle, nestable pallets can reduce unused storage volume by as much as 75%.

Made primarily from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene, these pallets are built for strength, longevity, and resistance to weather, moisture, and pests. Their plastic construction makes them suitable for industries with strict hygiene standards, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.

The Space-Saving Advantage

One of the biggest benefits of nestable pallets (plastic pallets) is space optimization. Traditional wooden or stackable pallets require significant space whether in storage or transit. Nestable pallets, by contrast, can drastically reduce this footprint.

Imagine needing to return empty pallets after delivering a shipment. With standard pallets, you’re often paying to ship back air because they don’t collapse or condense. Nestable pallets can be returned in a much smaller space, reducing freight costs and freeing up room in warehouses and on trucks. For distribution centers, this advantage translates directly into lower overhead and more efficient operations.

Lightweight Without Sacrificing Strength

Another standout benefit of nestable pallets (plastic pallets) is their lightweight nature. While wooden pallets typically weigh between 30 to 70 pounds, a nestable plastic pallet might weigh as little as 10 to 20 pounds. This makes them easier to handle manually and safer for workers, reducing fatigue and injury risk.

Despite being lightweight, these pallets maintain impressive strength. Many models can handle dynamic loads of 2,000 pounds or more and static loads even higher. This balance of strength and reduced weight is especially beneficial in industries focused on cost-per-pound shipping.

Hygienic and Easy to Clean

For sectors like food and pharmaceuticals, cleanliness isn’t just a benefit—it’s a necessity. Nestable pallets (plastic pallets) offer an edge in this arena because they are non-porous and do not absorb moisture. This eliminates the risk of mold, bacteria, or pest infestations that are common with wooden pallets.

Cleaning is also easier. These plastic pallets can be pressure washed, sanitized, and dried quickly without warping. Many designs even feature smooth surfaces with no hidden crevices, making them compliant with sanitation protocols from regulatory bodies like the FDA or USDA.

Cost Efficiency Over the Long Term

Although the initial investment in nestable pallets (plastic pallets) may be higher than wood pallets, the long-term savings are significant. Their extended lifespan means fewer replacements, and their durability reduces the chances of product damage due to pallet failure.

Furthermore, reduced freight costs, fewer injuries, easier maintenance, and fewer sanitation concerns all contribute to a strong return on investment. Many businesses find that nestable pallets quickly pay for themselves within a few shipping cycles.

Eco-Friendly Logistics

Sustainability is becoming a priority in logistics and manufacturing. Nestable pallets (plastic pallets) are often made from recycled materials and are fully recyclable at the end of their lifespan. Unlike wood pallets, they do not contribute to deforestation or require treatment with harmful chemicals to prevent pests.

The ability to reuse these pallets for years—sometimes even a decade—further supports sustainability goals. Many businesses are now including eco-conscious decisions in their public sustainability reports, and switching to plastic nestable pallets can be a positive part of that story.

Versatile Across Industries

Nestable pallets (plastic pallets) are being adopted across a wide range of industries due to their flexibility and performance. In retail, they’re often used for display-ready logistics, as their clean look and uniform dimensions make them suitable for in-store presentation.

In manufacturing, they help move components and finished goods efficiently between production lines or warehouses. In food processing, their hygiene and ease of cleaning make them the top choice. Even e-commerce and third-party logistics companies are turning to nestable pallets to reduce operational costs and shipping volume.

Compliance and Standardization

With increasing scrutiny over pallet quality and performance, particularly in international trade, using reliable, standardized platforms like nestable pallets (plastic pallets) is becoming more important. These pallets are often designed to meet international shipping requirements and can help reduce customs issues or rejections due to pallet condition or contamination.

Some plastic pallets are even available in fire-retardant versions, which comply with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) guidelines for indoor storage. This makes them more acceptable in environments with strict fire safety requirements.

Pallet Pooling and Nestable Options

Pallet pooling programs—where companies share and reuse pallets—have become more common to reduce costs and environmental waste. Nestable pallets (plastic pallets) are ideal for these systems because of their durability and ease of return. Pooling providers favor nestable designs due to their stackability, reduced freight volume, and long lifecycle.

If your operation includes frequent backhauls or shared logistics with partners, switching to nestable pallets could align with your overall pooling strategy.

Enhanced Safety and Ergonomics

Safety in the workplace is a growing concern, particularly in material-handling operations. Nestable pallets (plastic pallets) contribute to safer environments thanks to their lighter weight, consistent design, and absence of nails, splinters, or sharp edges.

This makes them easier and safer for workers to handle manually. Additionally, their consistent sizing and shape lead to better stacking stability, reducing the risk of collapsed loads or mishandling.

RFID and Smart Tracking Integration

Modern supply chains are embracing smart tracking and real-time inventory visibility. Many nestable pallets (plastic pallets) are compatible with RFID (radio-frequency identification) chips or barcode systems that help track their location, load status, and handling conditions.

This is especially valuable in sectors like pharmaceuticals, electronics, and food distribution, where traceability is crucial. Pairing nestable pallets with smart technology enables better data gathering, improved accuracy, and faster response times across the supply chain.

Conclusion: Nestable Pallets (Plastic Pallets) Deliver Lasting Value

Nestable pallets (plastic pallets) are more than just a trend—they’re a transformative tool in the evolving logistics landscape. From maximizing warehouse space and cutting transportation costs to improving hygiene and supporting sustainability goals, they check all the boxes for modern supply chain performance.

If your business is looking to increase efficiency, improve safety, reduce costs, and prepare for the future of logistics, investing in nestable pallets (plastic pallets) is a move in the right direction. Their intelligent design, versatile application, and long-term durability make them a powerful asset in any operation.

By choosing nestable pallets, you're not just upgrading your warehouse—you're embracing a smarter, more sustainable way to move your business forward.

Entry to Patio: How Calgarians Are Designing Homes That Work Smarter

In Calgary, smart design isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. With unpredictable weather, growing families, and the need for multi-functional spaces, local homeowners are rethinking how their homes should work. From the first step inside the entryway to those rare sunny patio days, more Calgarians are investing in functional, beautiful furniture that makes every square foot count.

Whether you live in a cozy inner-city bungalow or a new build on the city’s outskirts, this guide will help you rethink your home—starting at the entry and flowing right out to your backyard.

It Starts at the Door: Making Calgary Entryways Work Harder

Let’s face it—your entryway sets the tone. It’s where muddy boots land after a snowy day and where bags get dropped after a long commute. A functional entryway isn’t just a welcome space—it’s a survival tool.

Calgary-Ready Entryway Must-Haves:

Storage Bench: Great for stashing shoes, mittens, and scarves.

Wall Hooks or Mounted Racks: Ideal for coats, hats, and even backpacks.

Console Table with Drawers: A sleek catch-all for mail, keys, and wallets.

Mirror: Helps reflect light and makes even tight entryways feel bigger.

At Showhome Furniture, one of Calgary’s top furniture stores, you’ll find pre-styled entryway setups built to inspire. Whether you love rustic farmhouse vibes or a more modern minimalist look, their designers can help you bring practicality and polish to your foyer.

The Living Room: Comfort Meets Versatility

Living rooms in Calgary homes are more than just a place to sit—they’re home offices, kids’ play areas, and the backdrop for movie nights. That’s why smart Calgarians are leaning toward versatile, durable furniture pieces that can handle real life.

What’s Trending in Calgary Living Rooms:

Modular Sectionals: Perfect for odd-shaped rooms or evolving spaces.

Storage Ottomans: Extra seating, footrest, and hidden storage in one.

Nestable Coffee Tables: Pull them out for guests, tuck them away afterward.

Neutral-Toned Sofas: Easy to style through every season (and long winter).

Light wood finishes, durable fabrics, and clean lines dominate Calgary’s design preferences. At Showhome Furniture, you’ll find Canadian-made sectionals and multi-use accent furniture that’s stylish and tailored for local lifestyles.

Dining Rooms Doing Double Duty

These days, your dining area might double as a workstation, Zoom meeting zone, or arts and crafts station. In many Calgary homes—especially those with open-concept layouts—the dining room does more than host meals.

Smart Dining Features:

Extendable Tables: Compact during the week, roomy on the weekends.

Mix-and-Match Chairs: Add style and flexibility (some can double as office chairs).

Buffets or Sideboards: Store everything from wine glasses to board games.

Bench Seating: Saves space and offers extra seating when needed.

Modern farmhouse aesthetics remain popular in Calgary’s dining rooms, with lots of black metal, reclaimed wood, and cozy lighting. Showhome Furniture stocks a variety of dining tables—many made in Canada and customizable—to suit every size and shape of space.

The Often-Overlooked Transition Zone: Hallways & Nooks

These in-between areas often go underused, but with smart planning, you can transform dead zones into productivity hubs or display-worthy corners.

Small-Space Hacks:

Slim Desks or Wall-Mounted Shelves: Ideal for quick work-from-home setups.

Console Tables with Drawers: Stylish storage without bulk.

Bookshelves or Vertical Storage Towers: Maximize height instead of floor space.

Floating Benches or Wall Hooks: Great for guest drop zones.

Calgarians are learning to get creative with every inch—especially in smaller homes and condos. Showhome’s free interior design consultation can help you reimagine forgotten corners and passageways with purpose.

Bring the Indoors Out: Smart Patio and Outdoor Furniture for Calgary

The minute snow melts, Calgarians rush outside. Patios and balconies become second living rooms, especially during the city’s sunny summer stretch. But with weather that shifts in an instant, you need furniture that’s up for the challenge.

What Outdoor-Ready Looks Like in Calgary:

All-Weather Wicker or Powder-Coated Steel: Handles wind, sun, and rain.

Quick-Dry Cushions: So you’re not waiting 3 days to sit down again.

Storage Chests or Benches: Protects pillows and accessories.

Modular Outdoor Sectionals: Customize your setup to fit any patio shape.

Whether you’re outfitting a balcony in Eau Claire or a backyard in Mahogany, Showhome Furniture offers curated outdoor sets made for Calgary conditions. Their design team can even help you choose furniture that blends seamlessly with your interior style for indoor-outdoor flow.

Why Calgarians Are Turning to Local Furniture Stores

Online shopping might be convenient, but there’s nothing like seeing, touching, and testing out your furniture in person—especially when it comes to making your space more functional.

Tips for Designing a Home That Flows

When planning your space from the front door to the patio, here are a few key tips to keep in mind:

1. Plan Your Zones

Define how you want each space to function. Entry for quick storage, living room for lounging, dining for work and play, patio for escape.

2. Use Color to Create Cohesion

Stick to a neutral base and introduce color with accents, textiles, or art. This creates flow from room to room—even if styles shift slightly.

3. Invest in Multi-Function Pieces

Choose furniture that offers storage, flexibility, or can adapt to changing needs.

4. Think Long-Term

Select durable, timeless pieces you can move or restyle over time—especially in transitional spaces like hallways and patios.

Final Thoughts

Designing a home that works smarter not harder isn’t about buying more furniture. It’s about buying the right pieces for how you live. In Calgary, where weather, space, and lifestyle all play major roles, functional furniture is essential.

From your entryway to your patio, every corner of your home can be intentional and inspiring. And the best part? You don’t have to do it alone.
