[meo-on-prairie]

Pro-gamer!Gojo, Geto, Sukuna, and Toji

Writing this on my phone because life been putting me thru a meat grinder and i dont have the time to write an actual fic so i'mma ramble about the fic i been writing in my head when i dissociated

Imagine e-sport AU JJK

Youre a girl that's joining a 5 members first person shooter esport team call Curse Technique (CTQ) cuz women respresantation in esport fucking damn it

Your teammates are Gojo (Sixeyes), Geto (spiriteater), Sukuna (malevolent), and Toji (topji)

Theyre all streamers turn pro-gamers and are the most cocky bastard alive. The have never lose a single tournament ever since the game launched.

They got scouted by CTQ organizations from their stream when the game first launch

They fight each other for the second position on the leader board.

Note how i say second

Because someone with the in-game name KandyCat have the top position. Undefeated. Many have tried. But they cant even come close to thag ranking score

And goddamn did the 4 of them tried. They did a 1 week subathon with the sole purpose of tryna take the number 1 spot. They got their ass handed to them by said KandyCat in their solo rank games. So they temporarily gave up.

They always curios who this KandyCat is tho, becaude they are not a streamer, there are nothing about them on the internet beside the fact that theyre number one on the game leaderboard.

Over times, their curiosity and completitiveness against KandyCat before some sort of admiration and obsession. They really want to know who this person is and learn from them.

Now let's talk about when the team manager introduced you to them.

They thought you were their new assistant. They were expecting their last teamate would be another well known streamer or pro-player

The disbelief on their face when your manager said "this is y/n, she's your 5th member and also will be your in-game leader"

You almost let out a snicker

They threw a tantrum. That's for sure. Not cuz youre a girl. It's cuz theyre prideful as fuck

They cant fathom how a literal no body, someone they never heard of before, be their leader?!? Theyre literally the top 5 players of the game. Impossible. No. If leader is one of them, the rest will be bitter but they still relinquish. But their leader is someone they have never heard of before??? They wont stand for this

No. They refused "she can be our leader if she can beat all 4 of us in 1v1s" sukuna scoff and for the first time theyre all in agreement about something.

"Sure!" You said "let's make it more fun by placing a bet, whoever win get a wish from the loser"

Your manager, nanami, just sigh a long sigh and let yall duke it out on the game.

You logged into your account (y/n0nt0p) and gojo immediate poke fun of you "after this you should chsnge it to y/nthebottom"

They were all so confident. Already thinking of what their wish gonna be.

LOL MAN DID THEY GOT THEIR ASS HANDED TO THEM

They could not even land a shot on you

For the first time in their career they went negative on their Kill Death ratio. It was tragic. You were abusing mechanic they have never seen before. Taking angle they didnt know exist. Shooting through wall they didnt know were made out of paper.

They were floored

Complete. Utter. Defeated.

"How?" Toji, the last one to went against you, ask in disbelief.

" You surely dont think this is my main account right? I dont even have any cosmetic on here" you said with a smirk, hinting to them that this isnt the account you will be competing under.

Nanami let out another sign, he need painkiller after this "if you would let me finish introduced her before throwing a tantrum, you coulda save your pride." He said while shaking his head "y/n will be competing under an alias "KandyCat" or Cat, she specifically put in the contract that she does not want her identity to be out in the public including her appearance so----"

"KANDYCAT?!" Gojo shouted cutting nanami off once again.

"The. KandyCat??? Number one player on the leader board. That KandyCat?" Getou said, not believing his ears

Poor men.... theyre going thru so many shocking things in one day. It's like their word just got turned upside down.

Honestly, i havent thoughts about it after this but it would be fun to be like a choose your own adventure fic. Where they all fell head over heel for you over the course of the competitive season.

tell me about stained glass

yay!! it's so fun i can't wait to do it again i'm gonna tell you the whole process

so first you need to pick out your pattern/draw the design, make sure there's no weak points (lines directly through the entire piece etc)

once that's set you get to pick out your glass :D some glass is thicker than others but it doesn't matter too much unless you want it to be all the same, there's lots of different textures as well whcih can look really cool

next step is to trace the pattern into the pieces, you wanna go for the edge of the glass to save as much as possible for future projects, and if it's too opaque you need to either use a light box or cut out that part of the pattern

when it's all traced you're gonna start cutting. so get your little tool, make sure you're standing in order to get the pressure and right angle

this is the glass cutter ^^

now you gotta smooth that shit down so here's this guy

he's a glass grinder he sands down the sides into the right shape and makes sure you don't cut yourself as much. the bit is in the middle and you hold the glass with ur fingers and press it into the bit to grind it down

next is foiling but before that is cleaning bc the grinder has water in it and it mixes with the glass particles and makes it all icky so get some glass cleaner and wipe it down with a cloth

now time for foiling

this is copper foil, it comes in rolls with different thicknesses. generally one size fits most glass but thicker ones need thicker foil so it covers the side and equally on the front and back of the glass

i tend to start near a corner, then you're going to wrap it around being careful that the glass goes in the middle of the foil. once it's wrapped around once make sure it overlaps with the beginning about 1/4-1/2 inch, here you cut it

press the foil down on the sides and top and bottom of the glass, then get some kind of tool (can be anything tbh even a pencil or ruler) and rub the foil into the glass so it is fully pressed down

(random piece i found on the internet with foiled glass)

onto soldering :D

once it's foiled you're going to put the pieces together how you want them to lay in the final product. first is tacking, aka putting a small amount of solder on the intersections of glass. before soldering anything you need to put flux on the section you are soldering. (btw solder only sticks to foil not glass) flux basically is a liquid that prevents oxidation on the copper foil, making the solder stick.

there's lead free and leaded solder, i've only worked with lead free but many professional stained glass artists use leaded. it acts a bit differently when soldering but works just as well.

after tacking is the actual soldering. basically you take a stick of solder and a soldering iron and hold the solder right behind the iron so it melts and sort of drips down the edge of the iron onto the foil as you bring your iron across the foil. once you solder one side, flip it over and do the other, then the sides which is a bit different, with more tacking

after soldering you gotta clean it cuz it's dirty again so head to the sink and get some soap and a brush and scrub that shit off

then if you want you can add patina which can make the solder black or other colors i think

then there's polishing which you just scrub on with a cotton pad, you can buff it after this with just a cloth to make it extra shiny but yeah that itttt

ty for letting me rant about this if you have any more questions lemme know <3

Getting ready to record making the next page in Eivor's herbarium: silver birch from Grantebridge

After a few weeks of being really sick, & the heatwave mayhem, I'm finally prepping this. Here's how it goes, & what's on the page...

Process

I arrange the pressed birch so that there's room on the page for some writing, and so nothing is too close to page edges. We've got both male and female catkins, leaves and seeds here. Pretty pleased with how it all pressed!

After arranging the plant material on the page, I use archival gummed linen tape to stick it down at various points. I cut the tape into tiny strips that I can pick up with tweezers, & brush with a little water to make them tacky. I press the strips down and use the flat steel bar sections as weights to hold them down until dry. I put some acid-free flimsy paper or cardboard underneath so the metal doesn't mark the paper.

The bark and seeds will be stuck down directly with archival pH7.0 adhesive. I'll also glue the two separated catkins in place to their twig.

I've separated the bark layers so that I can sneak in a tiny hidden note to Randvi that won't be visible unless you lift the top layer of bark.

Resting on the page below you can see all the ingredients I need - tape strips, tweezers, water brush, weights etc. The hat pin is v. useful for nudging tiny strips and seeds etc into place. Because I can't feel all my fingers any more it's not super safe for me to use angle grinders/saws/cutters anymore. So I had to get some help cutting the bar weights to length. But they really are the best shape for herbarium weights!

How Do I Pick The Best Company For Floor Sanding Services?

If you have hardwood flooring, it's important to keep it in good condition. This means that you need to regularly clean and refinish the floor. There are a lot of different companies out there that offer these services, so how do you know which one is right for your home?

Here are some things to consider when looking at Best Flooring in Adelaide companies in your area:

Do you want to sand or screen?

Sanding is done with a power sander or drum sander, which uses sandpaper and operates on the principle of abrasion. The sanding process removes the old finish from the floor to prepare it for staining.

Screening is done by hand using a screen, either before or after sanding. It is usually used in conjunction with other processes such as stripping or stripping and sanding.

Both methods can be used together if you wish to have a completely polished surface after you've finished working on your floors but it depends on what type of floor finish you want at the end and what kind of floors they are made from.

In most cases, however, people prefer either one method over another because there's no real benefit from doing both during each stage except that it may take longer than expected if there was much more work involved than anticipated.

What kind of stain do you want?

There are several different types of wood stains to choose from. Oil-based stains are the most popular, but they're also the most expensive and may require more maintenance over time.

Wax and lacquer finishes are less expensive, but they can be harder to apply evenly. Polyurethane finishes are a good middle ground between cost and ease of application; however, they take longer to dry than other types of stains.

Do you want to oil, wax, lacquer, or polyurethane the floor?

Oils, waxes, and lacquers are the most popular choices for floor finishes. The type you choose will depend on your lifestyle and the area of the country where you live.

Oil-based polyurethanes are harder to clean, require more maintenance, and take longer to dry than lacquer or wax. They also produce a thicker finish that can interfere with some types of floor coverings such as carpeting or rugs in high-traffic areas.

On the other hand, oil-based polyurethanes provide excellent durability because they contain highly saturated resins that resist wear and scuffing better than lacquers or waxes can do alone—making them ideal for floors exposed to heavy traffic such as kitchens or living rooms but not ideal if you want an easy-to-care-for finish like oiled wood floors which require little maintenance once they're installed properly!

What kind of equipment does the floor sanding company use?

There are a number of different types of equipment that floor sanding companies use, each with its own pros and cons. The type of equipment that you choose will depend on the surface you want to sand and how smooth it is.

For example, if your floor is made from hardwood or tile then belt sanders might be more appropriate because they can get into the grooves in these materials better than other kinds of machines. However, if your floor has a varnish coating or is made from the carpet then angle grinders might be best because they cut down on dust production.

There are many factors to consider when choosing which machine to rent from a floor sanding company.

Make sure you're clear about what kind of material you want to work on before making an order so that they send over the right tool(s) for your job!

We hope this article has given you a better idea of what to look for in a Floor Sanding in Adelaide company, and how they can help you with your floor.

What are Diamond tools and Just How Are They Used?

Ever heard the term diamond tools being utilized? What is a Diamond Tool anyways? I'll give you a pretty good concept in easy terms so you can have a better understanding of what they are as well as how they work.

Primarily Diamond Tools are thought about as any type of tool that uses Diamonds as an unpleasant for reducing. Typically the "cutting teeth" are metal sections composed of metal powders as well as ruby crystals. These sectors are after that shaped into rectangular teeth and then bonded to the steel core of the device.

There are various types of diamond tools being used each day in the construction industry for cutting a wide range of products such as Strengthened Concrete (Concrete with Rebar), Cured Concrete (Old Hardened Concrete), Asphalt, Asphalt over a layer of Concrete, Block, Block, Stone, Marble, Granite, Ceramic Tile, Glass, Ceramics, Porcelain & a lot more products. Right here are 3 most typical sorts of diamond tools and also their usages:

Ruby Blades

A Ruby Blade is a round saw blade made use of over Rate Gas Powered Cut-Off Saws, Stroll Behind Saws, Angle Grinders, Table Saws, Tile Saws, and so on. They are used for making straight cuts in just about any sort of product known to a guy. They are used every day by contractors and also by building and construction companies all over the globe.

Grinding Cups

A Grinding Mug is a circular grinding tool with diamond sections on one side only. They are made used for grinding unequal surface areas to leave a level & smooth surface. They can be utilized for grinding concrete, granite, marble, and also other hard products. They are typically utilized on angle mills.

Core Bits

A Core Little bit is a lengthy hollow tube with diamond segments on the tip. Core Bits are made for piercing openings with Granite & Marble Countertops, Concrete Walls, Reinforced Concrete, and also various other comparable products. They are generally used in the construction industry for all kinds of exploration, such as electrical installations.

There are many more kinds of diamond tools such as Concave Diamond Blades for reducing contours in Counter Tops (Installing Sinks in Countertops), Ductile Blades for cutting steel, Diamond Sprucing Pads for Polishing Marble, Tuck Pointers for removing mortar as well as recovering old brick walls, Split Chasers for repairing fractures in walls and also a lot more.

A Complete Guide to Metal Cutting Disc: Comparing Metal Cutting Methods

Simple question: What do you think of when someone mentions a metal cutting disc? Probably this is a thing that spins around at high speeds and cuts through a thick piece of metal fast as lightning. But like anything, there is a much deeper meaning to it than one meets the eye, which we will go into detail about here.

A metal cutting disc is a versatile tool that can be used to cut intricate shapes in various materials. It is one of the tools every metalworker must invest in. The disc is great for cutting both ferrous and non-ferrous metals of various thicknesses. The tool is designed in such a manner that it can be used to cut through smaller pieces of metal as well as thicker sheets.

Your project may require different types of metal cutting disks and discs. In that case, you need to have some understanding of the fundamentals of metal cutting. Metal cutting is as important as it is dangerous. But don't worry; if you consult a knowledgeable expert familiar with your type of work, you can do the work efficiently.

If you’re preparing to cut metal for the first time, there are a lot of options. Knowing what type of Metal Cutting Disc you need will be important when making that selection. In this guide, compare and contrast the following methods: plasma cutting, water jet cutting, laser cutting, abrasive wheel cutting and thermal technologies like oxyfuel gas cutting (aka oxyacetylene).

Metal cutting discs are essentially made from hard materials like alloys and tungsten carbide. These discs are razor-sharp and are capable of high-speed rotation. They are used to cut components made out of metals of different strengths.

A Complete Guide To Metal Cutting Disc: Comparing Four Popular Methods

The metal cutting disc is one of the most common tools that you can find in any workshop. This tool is used for cutting metals and other materials. There are many different types of metal cutting discs available in the market, but we will be focusing on four popular methods in this article:

1. Disc grinder

Disc grinders are a type of hand tool used in metalworking to cut off material by grinding it against a rotating disc. Disc grinders are used for cutting off large amounts of material, for example, when removing annealed steel from the inside of a pipe or tube. They can also be used to remove welds from sheet metal and other materials.

2. Cutting discs for angle grinders

The best cutting discs for angle grinders are abrasive discs. These are made of metal and come in a variety of sizes and shapes. They are typically used to cut through thick objects like steel and other metals. The cutting disc is attached to the angle grinder using a wheel guard, which is a protective cover that helps prevent your hands from coming into contact with the spinning blade.

3. Cutting discs for rotary tools

Cutting discs for rotary tools work by spinning at high speeds, which allows them to cut through any material. This is accomplished by using both the metal blade of the cutting disk as well as its serrated edge. The serrated edge helps to provide a grip on the material being cut while also allowing you more control over how much pressure you apply during your cut.

4. Chainsaw milling cutter

Chainsaw millers use a circular blade with teeth on the edge that cuts through the material by grinding them against it. The teeth create friction between the material being cut and the disc itself, which heats up quickly and then melts into a molten stream that flows out behind the blade as it cuts through the material. This allows them to cut through harder materials than other types of disc because they remove material at a faster rate than other methods allow.

After the golf course, there's a spur off to the right that goes up to Route 1 near the bike shop, and there's a new traffic light to cross over. The trail goes under University Blvd and around the Paint Branch golf course. It's also pretty easy to get to Proteus from the University of Maryland campus - just take the Paint Branch trail north from the campus (near the Comcast center). Here is a link to a bike route to the shop from College Park Metro () ( )Īnd here is a link to the bike route from the Greenbelt Metro () ( )

Here is the link to the announcement ( nuHmXPKUjW2QG3jyqR0ui0%3D), and I've pasted the text of the announcement below if that link doesn't work. We'll probably explore some of the shortcuts cyclists in the area use to get around the region. I'm not sure the exact route, but it will be mostly on residential streets and local roads with bike lanes.

Some of us might do mock shopping just for the challenge and experience - I'll probably have a backpack full of groceries by the time we're done! The goal is for customers and friends to experience errand/shopping riding with other riders on a low-traffic time of the week (Sunday morning). In fact we are not aware of any other manufactured non-cuttable material in existence as of now.My LBS is hosting a utility fun ride (probably around 10 miles) on October 30. This material could have lots of useful and exciting applications in the security and safety industries. "The ceramics embedded in this flexible material are also made of very fine particles which stiffen and resist the angle grinder or drill when you're cutting at speed in the same way that a sandbag would resist and stop a bullet at high speed. "If you get through the jelly you hit the nuggets and the material will vibrate in such a way that it destroys the cutting disc or drill bit." "Essentially cutting our material is like cutting through a jelly filled with nuggets," said Stefan Szyniszewski, lead author and assistant professor of applied mechanics at Durham's engineering department, according to a blog post on Durham University's website. Source: Durham University / YouTube Nuggets and jelly cancel cutting motion This CT scan of the Proteus material shows how cellular aluminum structure is wrapped around ceramic spheres - failed attempts to cut with a grinder are on the bottom right. These, in turn, make it even more difficult to cut - since the faster one grinds or drills the harder cutting gets "due to interatomic forces between the ceramic grains," and "the force and energy of the drill is turned back on itself, and it is weakened and destroyed by its own attack," according to the researchers, reports New Atlas.Īdditionally, the new material has equally effective resistance to water jet cutters - obviously rare among bike thieves - because the spherical shape of ceramic chunks widens the water jet, increasing the area of applied force, and thus weakening the pressure of the cut. Proteus' outer plate will give way to drill bits or angle grinders, but when either reaches the embedded ceramic spheres, the material begins to vibrate in a way that blunts the tool's sharp edges as fine particles of ceramic dust fill in the gaps of the matrix-like structure of the metal. Stemming from the U.K's Durham University and Germany's Fraunhofer Institute, the novel material takes inspiration from the durable and cellular skin of grapefruit, in addition to the rock-hard, fracture-resistant aragonite shells of mollusks. Named Proteus, the new material consists of ceramic spheres arranged in a cellular aluminum structure to resist angle grinders, drills, or similar brute-force cutting tools. RELATED: LINE-X: THE SPRAY THAT CAN MAKE ANYTHING INDESTRUCTIBLE Researchers claim they've manufactured the world's first non-cuttable material - with a mere 15% steel's density - which they say could be made into a lightweight armor or indestructible bike lock, according to a paper recently published in the journal Scientific Reports.
