Stray Thoughts: For Want of a Buckle

If I ever end up writing a modern zpoc or monster apocalypse, there’s one nonstandard item I’m adding to my main character’s survival gear to up their chances. A bottle of compressed air.

Long story short: I have a vehicle old enough to vote, a seatbelt buckle that’s been getting increasingly dodgy about latching, and not a lot to spare for sudden mechanic issues. I was looking at the fact of, if the buckle decided not to function at all, that would be extremely unsafe driving. Including to work where I need to get so my bills are paid... you see where this was going.

(“And all for want of a horseshoe nail” going through your head? Yeah, it was going through mine too.)

Fortunately one of the skills a canny writer develops is how to search for information. Specifically I looked for why a buckle would be stubborn about latching, and what might fix those causes. If the mechanism was flat worn out? Well, that’d be a “take it to the mechanic/whoever fixes that and eat the cost”.

But if the buckle was just partly jammed, by a tiny pebble or other debris in there....

Reddit and YouTube suggestions included grease, WD-40, and compressed air. I had my doubts on grease, since the tongue of the buckle wasn’t jamming. And WD-40 in a buckle whose casing was mostly plastic sounded like it had Bad Idea written all over it. Though it might be viable for even older cars whose buckle parts are all metal!

Compressed air struck me as a “first, do no harm” option. So. We had some, for dealing with keyboards. I absconded with it.

First spray into the buckle? Eh. It took slightly less long to click than it had. But slightly was still less, so I picked another angle into the buckle and tried again.

It took about five different applications at all possible angles into the buckle. But for the first time in years, I put the tongue in and it clicked the first time.

...They probably heard my sigh of relief a block away.

How does this apply to writing a zpoc? Think about modern cars. One of the zpoc staples is the Desperate Survivor stumbling onto an abandoned vehicle and starting it to get away in the nick of time. But why was the vehicle abandoned in the first place, yet still in drivable condition? It’s obviously not out of gas!

I know some cars like this exist now, and I’d bet there would be more in the fictional near future of a zpoc: there are cars that won’t start unless the driver’s seat belt is buckled.

Knock a little debris into the buckle? Yeah, the last owner of this car got munched.

Not to mention all electronics are going to take a beating in zpoc conditions. Our tech and communications, our ability to organize an intelligent defense, are our advantage against the mindless hordes. Compressed air to clean devices out might be life or death!

OOOOOOO-

How does the beserkers’ elemental magic work :0

I've explained it before, but thanks to the magic of✨recons✨ I am willing to explain it again (also that was a very old post and I don't want to scroll to rb it.) it's under the cut bc L O N G

Wind berserkers are able to manipulate the air around them, which makes them capable of going at breakneck speeds (sometimes literally). The tradeoff is that when they aren't hunting, they're almost always sleeping. Going mach 5 isn't good for the joints, as it turns out.  ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ 

Electric berserkers are built for endurance, having the most efficient power sources of all types of berserkers. On top of this, they are able to drain energy from nearby functioning electronics, including other drones.

Flame berserkers are perhaps the most dangerous. Their flames are capable of withstanding the subzero environment of C9 for several hours. They also have the most physical strength, with some reports of them breaking through diamond-plated steal circling around. Their primary food source is Disassembly drones, due to their overheating issues making them easy prey.

All berserker drones possess a weakened solver, but extremely durable bodies. Their limbs can regenerate nigh instantly, before slowing down after continuous dismemberment, to finally stopping and having to use metals and the like to regain their nanites.

They do not overheat, but JCJ had an especially cruel way to make them get the job done. WD and DD oil reacts to a BD's internals, boosting their power and throwing them into a frenzied state. Because of this, BDs hunt other drones to both get that drug-like kick and stave off the robotic equivalent of withdrawal, which is extremely painful for them.

...That took a long time to write out...

Computing on a Budget

I wanted to talk about the story of my old computer.

On July 23, 2008 I acquired a Dell Vostro 200 from the Dell Outlet website. This computer cost around $800 (with an extended warranty) at the time. I was looking for something low cost that I thought was capable of running games, and could be used for future projects

The computer came with the following specs: CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 GPU: Intel GMA RAM: 4x 1GB DDR2 Storage: 80GB Western Digital Black HDD OS: Windows XP Professional

And at first, this computer turned out to be a pretty good powerhouse for my needs. I knew it wasn't the best computer by any means. But with the budget I was on, it would get the job done. Plus my mom helped out with around half the cost as a high school graduation present.

Later on, I decided to purchase The Orange Box as I wanted to look into playing games like Portal and Team Fortress 2. And while I was able to get Portal to work, when I tried to join a game in Team Fortress 2, the game would simply crash on me. It turned out that to run 3D graphics like that, the built-in Intel GMA card was not going to cut it.

So, I took a trip to my local Best Buy. Taking a look at the graphics cards they had on sale, I found one I could afford for around $60. The Galaxy NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS.

And it worked... but just barely. Later on I started to expand my Steam library. And there was on game in particular that gave me some trouble with this card. Left 4 Dead 2. It turned out that the 8400GS isn't great a drawing hundreds of zombies on screen at once. And my system would lag any time a horde would start chasing my party. But I still kept this card going for as long as I could, cause I couldn't really afford to upgrade. That and any money I did have for upgrades went to other accessories like drawing tablets, and a desk to house everything in.

Don't let that picture fool you though. Everything here was done on the cheap.

On January 18, 2013, I installed a 1TB Western Digital Green HDD into this computer and installed Windows 8 as a secondary operating system. And yes, I know that the WD Green drive was not the best option as it only ran at 5400RPM. But again, this was on a budget. And plus my dad offered to buy it for me for Christmas the previous month. I also managed to get Windows 8 for a low price, as Microsoft was offering the Pro version for only $75 at the time. I managed to pickup the license from Target using some gift cards I acquired over Christmas as well. I later performed the free upgrade to Windows 8 on October 18, 2013.

Around Memorial Day weekend that year, I ended up getting hired by an electronics retailer, and a bit more money started coming in as a result.

On April 8, 2014, Microsoft officially discontinued security updates on Windows XP. A month or so prior, after fiddling around with rebuilding the Master Boot Record on the drive I had Windows 8 installed on. I retired the WD Black drive that had run Windows XP for me since 2008.

Some time around July 4th of 2014, I woke the computer up from sleep mode and heard this really nasty grinding noise. It turns out, that little fan running the 8400GS finally gave out after years of trying to run games it couldn't handle very well. So I knew it was time to not only replace that, but to start thinking about replacing the whole computer, now that I had a bit more money in the budget.

Looking at my options for cards. I didn't want to go with the "latest and greatest" since I knew the computer was starting to age. So, I went with an EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GT 630. On the box it recommended that it be run with a 500W or greater power supply. The one that the Vostro came with was only 300W. So, I also ended up swapping out the power supply with a Thermaltake TR2-600W power supply unit.

Finally, on April 30, 2015, I retired the Vostro 200 after I decided to build my own computer.

So, why do I bring up this story?

The reason I wanted to talk about this is because I know there are a lot of people out there that are computing on a budget. Something I constantly run into during my career as a computer technician are people telling me they can't afford the latest and greatest. That upgrades don't typically happen until they become absolutely necessary. And that's something I can understand and sympathize with.

And while I've stressed the importance of upgrades as time goes on in the world of computing. I also understand that there's times when we need to keep the current technology in front of us working for as long as possible. So when people come to me saying "I can't afford a big upgrade right now" I always try to do my best to let them know "what can we fix", "what can't we fix", "what parts can be saved", and "what parts need to be replaced."

And if you're finding yourself in this situation right now. The one thing I want to say is, don't worry. At the end of the day, acquiring computers parts can be very simple and inexpensive if you know where to look.

This is a tech rant. If you read below this, you are not getting funni, you are getting technology ramble.

My qualifications to rant about technology are as follows: I am a sysadmin. This shit's my job.

Pro tip:

First, ditch the Windows and install Ubuntu. The current desktop environment is quite usable, and Windows is basically giant spyware.

Second: If you really, really have to stick with Windows, shell out the money for a pro license. Once you've done that, you have the following options available to you that are more private:

First, you can actually log into the computer with a local account, rather than being forced to use an MS account. Way less data tracking.

You can redirect folders to a local network share. Want the convenience of your shit not being lost if someone spills coffee on your computer? Put your router in a closet, plug a NAS into the router, and never go near it. Then, redirect your documents, desktop (if you have a fast internet connection), pictures, etc. to it. Bam! Cloud in a closet. The NAS will be in a RAID array, so you have more redundancy, more storage space, etc. etc.

Setting up a little two bay is a reasonably cheap project.

Here's the cheapest one money can buy. It's less than $200.

Here's just about the cheapest decent hard drive money can buy. About $70 per.

Total project cost is less than $300, plus some time to set it up (the NAS has a reasonably easy to use web console and there are tutorials, nothing anyone with a bit of experience watching Youtube videos couldn't figure out). And you get a decent cloud which will provide a more reliable storage medium for your data.

What to Inspect Before Bidding on Woodworking Tools

Whether you’re a hobbyist hunting for a bargain or a professional looking to upgrade your shop without breaking the bank, woodworking auctions can be treasure troves. But there’s a catch—what you see isn't always what you get. Unlike buying new tools off a shelf, auctions demand a sharp eye and a bit of mechanical intuition.

This guide walks you through the key things to inspect before you raise that paddle. Because once you bid, there’s often no turning back.

The Temptation of the “Too Good to Be True” Deal  

Auction prices can be downright seductive. A top-brand table saw at half the price? A stack of chisels for the cost of lunch? It's easy to get swept up in the excitement. But here's the truth: not every item is a steal. Some are steals for a reason—missing parts, worn-out motors, or just plain unsafe.

That’s why careful inspection is more than a suggestion—it’s a necessity.

1. Start With a Visual Check for Rust and Damage  

The first thing to look for is surface condition. Rust on cast iron surfaces like jointers, planers, or table saw tops isn’t a dealbreaker if it’s light and mostly superficial. You can clean that up with a little elbow grease and some WD-40. But if the rust is deep—pitted or flaking—that’s a sign of long neglect and potentially compromised integrity.

Other red flags:

Cracks in metal or cast components

Missing adjustment knobs or safety guards

Worn belts or cracked cords

Homemade "fixes" that look unsafe or unstable

2. Test for Power and Movement (If Allowed)  

This depends on the auction type. Some in-person auctions will let you plug tools in or at least turn them manually. Others are “sold as-is,” without the option for live testing. If you can test:

Listen for grinding or irregular noises

Feel for excessive vibration

Check if all switches, knobs, and levers operate smoothly

If it’s a hand tool or non-electric item, like a plane or a brace, try adjusting and using it lightly. You’ll get a quick sense of how much life is left in it.

3. Look at the Motor and Bearings  

For anything with a motor—bandsaws, lathes, planers—the condition of the motor tells a big part of the story. Are there burn marks around the wiring? Does the housing smell like burnt electronics? That’s not a good sign.

If you can’t test it, see if the motor spins freely by hand. Feel for wobble or resistance, which may point to bad bearings. Replacing bearings isn’t impossible, but it's extra time and cost you'll need to factor in.

4. Inspect the Cord and Plug  

Electrical safety isn’t just about functionality—it’s about not shocking yourself or burning down your shop. Look for:

Frayed insulation

Exposed wiring

Plugs that are cracked or missing grounding pins

Replacing a power cord is doable, but again—it’s about knowing what you’re getting into.

5. Check for Missing Accessories or Attachments  

A planer without blades or a router without collets may still be usable, but you’ll have to buy those extras before you can do anything with it. For specialized tools, replacement parts can be expensive—or worse, discontinued.

A few things to check:

Are the fences, miter gauges, or dust ports present?

Does the tool include the original manual or accessories?

Is there a custom jig or modification that could either help—or hinder—you?

6. Look at the Brand and Model Number  

Not all brands are created equal. Some older tools from now-defunct companies were built like tanks and still outperform modern models. Others were bottom-of-the-barrel then—and time hasn’t helped.

Take a photo of the label or model number and do a quick search (if you're allowed) to see:

Are parts still available?

Are others in the community restoring or using this model?

Are there common known issues?

For a deeper breakdown of how auctions work and how to spot great deals across categories, check out our Ultimate Guide to Woodworking Auctions: What Every Buyer Needs to Know.

7. Gauge the Competition and the Condition Together  

If the tool looks pristine, and there’s already a crowd of people hovering over it, the final bid might climb higher than you’d like. On the flip side, a dusty old jointer that no one’s looking at might have solid bones and be ripe for restoration.

You have to balance risk and reward. Some folks love bringing old tools back to life. Others want plug-and-play. Know which camp you're in—and inspect accordingly.

Final Thoughts: A Careful Look Pays Off  

There’s something incredibly satisfying about scoring a solid tool for a fraction of retail price. But rushing in without checking the basics can lead to buyer’s remorse and wasted money. Always remember: at woodworking auctions, the thrill of the hunt is half the fun—but smart hunters don’t forget their compass.

Inspect carefully, bid wisely, and you’ll walk away with more than just tools—you’ll come away with experience that sharpens both your shop and your strategy.

That means you’ll get dependable lighting without putting strain on your vehicle’s electrical system. Plus, with different beam patterns—spot, flood, or combo—you can customize your setup based on your riding needs.

Smart Integration with Vehicle Systems

One of the biggest advantages of WD Electronics products is how easily they integrate with your ATV or UTV. These systems are designed with plug-and-play simplicity, which means you don’t have to be an expert to install them. Most kits include everything you need—mounting hardware, switches, wiring harnesses, and easy-to-follow instructions.

Many of WD’s lighting products can even connect to other electronic modules like ECU tuners or GPS systems, giving you smarter control and streamlined performance. This level of integration makes it easier to upgrade and manage your off-road electronics without messy installations or compatibility issues.

Durability That Matches Your Terrain

Off-road riders face all kinds of rough conditions—mud pits, rocky paths, river crossings, and more. Your gear has to survive it all, and that’s why WD Electronics stands out. Their lighting products feature heavy-duty housings, IP-rated waterproofing, and shock-resistant materials that are tested for real-world durability.

WD Electronics LED housings are often made from aluminum or other heat-dissipating materials to avoid overheating, even on long night rides. The lenses are typically scratch-resistant and sealed to keep out moisture and debris. This rugged construction ensures that your investment keeps working season after season.

Safety First—See and Be Seen

While off-roading is all about freedom and adventure, safety should never take a back seat. Better lighting doesn’t just help you see more clearly—it helps others see you. Whether you're riding solo or in a group, WD Electronics lighting improves your visibility from all angles.

Rear lights and brake light kits ensure you're noticeable in low light or dusty conditions. Side-mounted LEDs add extra visibility for night turns or hill climbs. And if you're trailering or towing, WD’s accessory lights can help illuminate your setup for safer loading and unloading.

Custom Kits for Every Rider

Every off-roader has different needs, and WD Electronics understands that. That’s why they offer a wide range of kits, from basic LED bars to advanced lighting systems with custom switches, relays, and even Bluetooth control. Want to light up your whole ride with a single controller? Prefer lights that respond to your throttle or gear shifts? There’s a kit for that.

You can choose based on vehicle model, terrain type, or riding style—whether you’re racing, rock crawling, hunting, or trail riding. This flexibility makes it easier to create a lighting setup that works exactly the way you want it to.

Electronic Transcripts vs Paper Transcripts: Key Differences Explained

In the evolving world of education and employment, transcripts have always played a vital role. They serve as proof of academic achievement and are often required when applying for jobs, admissions, or credential evaluations abroad. But with technology changing how we share and access documents, there’s a new format in play electronic Transcripts.

In this blog, we’ll explain the key differences between Electronic Transcripts and traditional Paper Transcripts, so you can choose the best option for your needs.

What Are Transcripts?

A transcript is an official academic record that includes your courses, grades, degree awarded, and sometimes your academic standing. Whether you’re planning to study abroad, apply for a job, or get your credentials evaluated, transcripts are essential.

There are two main types:

Paper Transcripts: The traditional printed and sealed documents.

Electronic Transcripts (or etranscripts): Secure, digitally signed versions shared online.

1. Format & Delivery Method

Paper Transcripts are printed on institutional letterhead, often stamped and sealed in an envelope. You must usually pick them up or receive them by courier or post.

Electronic Transcripts (etranscripts) are delivered digitally via secure portals or email. They are password-protected and can be accessed by universities, employers, or credential agencies instantly.

Key Difference: Paper involves manual delivery. Electronic is instant and online.

2. Speed & Turnaround Time

One of the biggest advantages of Electronic Transcripts is how fast they can be processed and delivered.

Paper Transcripts may take several days or even weeks to reach the destination, especially for international applications.

etranscripts are often processed within 24–48 hours and received instantly once sent.

Key Difference: etranscripts save significant time during urgent applications.

3. Security & Authenticity

Security is a concern with any official document. Paper documents can be lost, tampered with, or duplicated.

Electronic Transcripts are encrypted and come with digital signatures. Many are generated through verified platforms that prevent unauthorized access or edits.

Key Difference: etranscripts are more secure and harder to forge than paper versions.

4. Acceptance by Institutions

While most global universities and evaluation bodies still accept paper transcripts, more institutions now prefer Electronic Transcripts because of their speed and reliability.

Organizations like WES, WDS, IQAS, and CES often encourage applicants to use electronic options if their university supports them.

Key Difference: Paper is still widely accepted, but etranscripts are becoming the preferred format.

5. Cost Efficiency

Paper documents often involve courier fees, printing costs, and packaging charges. These can add up, especially when multiple copies are needed.

etranscripts are often more affordable, with no need for physical delivery. Some universities even offer free digital transcripts for the first request.

Key Difference: etranscripts are more cost-effective in the long run.

6. Environmental Impact

There is a clear environmental benefit to going digital.

Paper Transcripts require printing, packaging, and transport, all of which have a carbon footprint. Electronic Transcripts reduce paper use and eliminate delivery emissions.

Key Difference: Electronic Transcripts are eco-friendly and support sustainable practices.

7. Convenience for Students and Institutions

Students today want faster, easier processes. With Electronic Transcripts, you can request, send, and track your transcript from anywhere.

For universities, managing digital requests reduces staff workload, eliminates postal delays, and improves recordkeeping.

Key Difference: E-transcripts simplify tasks for both students and institutions.

Comparison Table: Paper Transcripts vs Electronic Transcripts

Should You Choose Electronic or Paper Transcripts?

It depends on:

Your recipient’s requirement: Some universities still demand paper transcripts.

Time sensitivity: If you’re on a tight deadline, go for electronic.

Cost & convenience: Digital is easier and cheaper for most.

Whenever possible, opt for Electronic Transcripts due to their speed, safety, and simplicity.

FAQs: Electronic Transcripts vs Paper Transcripts

1. Are electronic transcripts accepted by WES and other credential evaluators?

Yes, most credential agencies like WES, ECE, and IQAS accept electronic transcripts directly from your university or authorized third-party services.

2. Can I use both electronic and paper transcripts for the same application?

Yes, but it’s best to follow the specific guidelines of the institution or evaluation agency you’re applying to.

3. Are electronic transcripts valid for all universities abroad?

Most international universities now accept digital transcripts, but always check their specific submission instructions before applying.

4. Is there a way to verify the authenticity of electronic transcripts?

Yes. Digital transcripts often come with QR codes or verification links that allow the recipient to confirm the authenticity.

5. What happens if I send an electronic transcript to the wrong email or portal?

You may need to request a resend or reapply, depending on the university’s policy. Always double-check recipient details before sending.

Got Garage Door Issues? Here's How to Fix Them Fast!

Garage doors are a vital part of our homes, providing convenience, security, and protection for our vehicles and belongings. But like any other mechanism, they can experience problems over time. Whether your garage door is stuck, making strange noises, or refusing to respond to the remote, tackling these issues promptly is crucial. Here, we’ll explore common Garage Door Service  problems and how to fix them efficiently.

1. The Garage Door Won’t Open or Close

Possible Causes:

Power Source Disruption: A tripped breaker or unplugged motor can stop your door from functioning.

Remote Control Issues: Weak batteries or improper synchronization can prevent the remote from working.

Sensor Problems: Misaligned or dirty safety sensors might stop the door from closing.

Quick Fixes:

Ensure the garage door opener is plugged in and the breaker hasn’t tripped.

Replace the remote batteries and try reprogramming the remote if necessary.

Inspect the safety sensors near the bottom of the door tracks. Clean their lenses and ensure they’re properly aligned.

2. The Door Makes Loud, Unusual Noises

Possible Causes:

Lack of Lubrication: Dry or dirty rollers, hinges, or tracks can cause grinding or squeaking sounds.

Worn Out Parts: Components like rollers, hinges, or springs may wear out over time.

Quick Fixes:

Lubricate all moving parts with a high-quality garage door  lubricant. Avoid using WD-40, as it’s not designed for long-term lubrication.

Inspect rollers, hinges, and springs for signs of wear and replace any damaged parts. Consider upgrading to nylon rollers for quieter operation.

3. The Door Closes Partway and Reverses

Possible Causes:

Obstructions in the Path: Items or debris blocking the door’s path can trigger the safety mechanism.

Misaligned Safety Sensors: If the sensors don’t align, they’ll signal the door to reverse.

Quick Fixes:

Clear any obstructions from the door’s path.

Check the alignment of the safety sensors. Adjust them so their indicator lights are solid, not blinking.

4. The Door Moves Unevenly or Gets Stuck

Possible Causes:

Track Misalignment: Bent or misaligned tracks can cause the door to move unevenly or get stuck.

Broken Springs or Cables: These components bear the door’s weight and can cause issues if they break.

Quick Fixes:

Inspect the tracks for bends or misalignment. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap them back into place, or call a professional if the damage is severe.

If you suspect broken springs or cables, avoid trying to fix them yourself. These components are under high tension and can be dangerous to handle.

5. The Door Opener Motor Runs, But the Door Doesn’t Move

Possible Causes:

Disconnected Emergency Release: The emergency release cord might have been pulled accidentally.

Worn Out Drive Gear: A damaged drive gear in the opener can prevent the door from moving.

Possible Causes:

Dirty or Misaligned Tracks: Dirt or debris in the tracks can slow the door down.

Opener Settings: The speed setting on the opener might need adjustment.

Quick Fixes:

Clean the tracks with a damp cloth and ensure they’re aligned properly.

Check the opener’s manual for instructions on adjusting the speed setting.

Preventive Maintenance Tips
