Hello!! As always, I have another request. This one is where Dante and the reader are at the beach. They're having a competition for who can create the best sand castle or sand sculpture, only their beautiful creations to get washed away by the ocean!

An: SORRYY THIS ONE WAS SHORT IM DOING WURK!

Washed away

The beach was alive with warmth, laughter, and the shrieking cries of distant gulls. The tide whispered and kissed the shore with the ease of a lover returning home, while sunlight danced across the ocean’s surface like fireflies on water.

You dropped your bag near a large umbrella, kicking off your sandals and letting your toes sink into the soft, warm sand. “I still can’t believe I let you talk me into this,” you said, giving Dante a skeptical side-eye as he plopped down beside you, already shirtless and smug.

“Come on,” he drawled, running a hand through his silver hair as he dug a plastic spade out of the beach bag like it was Excalibur. “You work too much. Beaches are therapeutic.”

You arched a brow. “Since when does Dante Sparda know anything about therapy?”

“Since right now.” He wiggled his eyebrows. “C’mon. Sun, sand, a stupid contest. What’s not to love?”

“Fine,” you relented with a small laugh, grabbing a bucket. “But if I win, you’re buying dinner and dessert.”

“Deal,” he smirked. “But if I win, I get to see you eat a chili dog with extra onions while wearing a ‘World’s Best Loser’ shirt.”

You groaned. “That’s oddly specific.”

“It’s already in the car.”

A few feet away, Lady had laid out her towel with military precision and was now sunbathing with one arm slung over her eyes, a large cocktail glass resting dangerously close to the sand. Meanwhile, Nero was attempting to build a volleyball net out of driftwood and string, only to be immediately tackled by a rogue crab.

“OH, GOD—IT'S ON ME! GET IT OFF!”

Lady didn’t even flinch. “Be one with nature, Nero.”

Back at your little kingdom of competition, you and Dante had begun your masterworks.

You went for elegance and symmetry—a towering castle with winding staircases made from stacked clamshells, delicate turrets you carved with surprising grace, and even a little moat fed by a small channel you dug from a tide pool.

Dante, of course, went for chaos.

His was… well. It was a sand sculpture of a demonic gladiator with wings, fangs, a ridiculous six-pack, and you were pretty sure it had your name tattooed across the bicep.

You stood back and stared. “Why does it have nipples?”

He squinted proudly at it. “Artistic integrity.”

You snorted. “You just wanted to flex with a sand sculpture.”

“Is it working?”

You rolled your eyes, trying to suppress the heat rising to your cheeks. The glint in his eye when he caught your smile made your heart skip.

As the two of you worked, you found yourself glancing at him more and more. His skin gleamed with sweat and sea salt, silver hair tousled by the breeze. Despite his usual swagger and devil-may-care attitude, there was something boyishly endearing in how seriously he took his silly sculpture. He was competitive, sure—but he was also genuinely enjoying himself.

You smiled to yourself and knelt beside your own castle, placing the final seashell atop one of the turrets. “There,” you whispered. “Perfect.”

“Hey,” Dante said suddenly, softer than usual. When you looked up, he was crouched nearby, watching you.

“Yeah?”

He hesitated. “This’s nice, y’know?”

Your brow furrowed slightly. “What, the sand sculptures?”

“No. Just… you. Us. Doing dumb stuff. No demons. No screaming. No blood.” He rubbed the back of his neck, a little sheepish now. “I don’t get a lot of that. It’s good.”

Your heart fluttered at the rare vulnerability in his voice.

You reached out and brushed a bit of sand off his cheek. “Then let’s do more of this.”

He smiled, slow and lazy, eyes warm like sun-soaked whiskey. “Yeah. Let’s.”

But of course, the ocean had other plans.

A moment later, you heard it—the sudden whoosh of a larger wave cresting. You turned just in time to see it rushing toward shore, white foam surging like a tide-fueled freight train.

“Uh, Dante—”

“Aw, hell—”

CRAAAAAASSSHHH.

The wave rolled in and swept across the shore with an aggressive hiss, devouring both of your works of art with zero remorse. Your castle dissolved in seconds, shells scattering like confetti. Dante’s demon suffered an instant decapitation and lost both arms before collapsing into a lumpy mess.

You sat in stunned silence for a beat, soaked to the thighs, mouth slightly open.

Dante blinked, completely drenched and dripping. “Well.”

“…My castle,” you murmured, “was a symbol of peace and order.”

“And mine,” Dante said solemnly, “was a testament to raw, unfiltered masculinity.”

Both gone. Just like that.

Then you both burst out laughing, unable to stop as the sea mocked you with retreating foam and scattered seaweed.

Behind you, Nero had escaped the crab only to find himself being used as a towel rack by Lady, who had taken his shirt, draped it over her legs, and declared it a “perfect sunshade.”

“I’M STILL WEARING MY SHIRT UNDER THE SAND!” he protested.

She sipped her drink. “You’re welcome.”

Dante leaned back on his elbows in the sand beside you, still chuckling. “Wanna try again?”

You shook your head, wiping tears of laughter. “Nah. The ocean clearly hates art.”

He looked at you sideways, eyes softening again. “Still, I think we made something pretty damn good.”

You raised an eyebrow. “The the ocean demon?”

“No,” he grinned. “This.”

And without hesitation, he leaned in and kissed you, salty and sweet, sun-drenched and soft. You smiled against his lips.

Some things, the ocean couldn’t wash away.

Fin V5 - V7: Utter Failure

I have for the last three or so weeks been sprinting ahead on new designs of fins which reduce the size but increase the thickness to create a stiffer fin.

This entire process has been an utter disaster again and again. My printer has been acting up terribly and it took me eleven days to print three days worth of parts. My parts are still warped and some had terrible stringing. I was also having an extremely difficult time with my CNC to make it behave and I still have not gotten a good pathing software yet set up.

I still did try to cast a fin, there were some noticable gaps but I hoped I could seal them. Getting the cast set up was four hours because I had to keep drilling out holes because nothing would align and nor would the poorly sized bolts actually fit. I had hoped I could use the bolts as alignment pins though in hindsight that was a fool's errand and the availability of specialty bolts seems fairly obscure in NL, and even DE or UK suppliers were not much better. The nice thing is the bolts did create a strong seal where they were positioned to be able to, the downside is that could really only happen because the two halves of the clamshell and not between the parts themselves as my printer and CNC can only make so large of parts.

Still I did forge ahead with the cast, which honestly I probably should have not with how many difficulties I had so far had. The process is messy, and disorganised, but still the casting part itself did not take long. I added two hopper tubes into the mould so I could store more silicone in it and these actually worked really well. Unfortunately the cast did not go well. It eventually started leaking and it did not fully fill. I did try adding more but after adding an extra 600mL on top of the early 900mL extra which represents around a 33% additional wastage I called it.

(I drew a face on it because it needed a face)

Unfortunately the next day the leaking was very bad, and despite my best efforts I was entirely unable to even remove the bolts to separate the clamshell and see even vaguely what it looks or feels like.

I think what I need to do is take a few weeks and really refine my process. I need to make it so my moulds are water tight so they do not leak. I also need to make it so I do not get silicone everywhere nor have to use nearly as many paper towels or clean nearly as many buckets.

I have a few ideas how to achieve this, but all of these will take some time to sort out. I am certainly not giving up, and though these setbacks are frustrating, I am feeling still plenty motivated to move forward.

Tuesday I will begin again with renewed plan and vigor. Doeg!

Repo Man – Chevy Malibu

Alex Cox’s Repo Man is one weird, satirical ‘80s classic. That it centers on car repossession (in addition to government conspiracies, rampant criminality, and radioactive alien corpses) makes it a car movie, of sorts. A lot of cars get broken into, stolen, and repossessed over the course of the film, but the most important car plot-wise is a beige Chevy Malibu driven by a sweaty, one-eyed mad scientist. What makes this Malibu one of the worst cars in movie history? For one, it is super hot inside even with the windows down and AC cranked up. And two, the decaying alien corpses in the trunk are so radioactive that anyone unfortunate enough to open the back end is instantly fried to powder, leaving nothing but a pair of smoldering shoes to tell the tale. For the final scene, the car was painted in 3M reflective paint (at $600 a can!) and hit with spotlights to give it that ghostly glow.

Maximum Overdrive – Happy Toyz Semi

It turns out Emilo Esteves has a knack for appearing in bad car movies as he followed up Repo Man by starring in Stephen King’s Maximum Overdrive. Tired of Hollywood directors butchering his ideas, King directed the movie himself (his first and last attempt at directing). Maximum Overdrive kicks off a consistent theme on this list: killer cars. The premise is hokey and never actually scary (seriously, 1974’s Killdozer is about a killer bulldozer that stalks its victims at 5 mph). In the case of Maximum Overdrive, it isn’t just cars, but all mechanical objects become possessed and homicidal, including one very grumpy toaster. A marauding group of killer semis is led by a Happy Toyz truck with a big fiberglass Green Goblin face on the radiator. Why Marvel’s Green Goblin? We’d ask Stephen King, but the author says he was drinking too much at the time to remember much of anything about the filming.

The Car – Lincoln Continental Mk III

Within the genre of killer cars, The Car ranks … among them. This low budget 1977 horror flick stars James Brolin as Deputy Wade Parent and a very dower looking 1971 Lincoln Continental Mk III. The car of The Car (inventive title, no?) is barely recognizable as a Lincoln thanks to extensive custom work by George Barris, famed customizer of the Hirohata Merc and the 1960s TV Batmobile. Barris added a high belt line, blacked out windows to match a black paint job, massive fenders, and a lowered roof line that gives the car a menacing glower. But rather than scary, the car of The Car ends up looking as corny as the movie’s dialogue, earning it a spot on our list.

Jeepers Creepers – Chevy COE

Far scarier than a possessed car is a car driven by a people-eating demon as seen in Jeepers Creepers. The grim rust bucket in question is a 1941 Chevy cab-over-engine (COE) with a blaring horn and a gnarly cowcatcher used to ram unsuspecting motorists off the road. This being the horror genre, there’s a little bit of tongue-in-cheek humor with the addition of a vanity license plate that reads BEATNU. The Creeper’s Chevy COE is simultaneously one of the best scary movies cars of all time and one of the worst cars to see in your review mirror.

Corvette Summer – C3 Corvette

In between iconic performances in Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back Mark Hamill starred in a little movie called Corvette Summer. The “adventure comedy,” as it was billed, follows a California teenager as he travels to Las Vegas in search of his stolen customized Corvette. Like many custom cars, the Corvette in question has clearly been an ambitious labor of love that got wildly out of control. The elaborate customization included a fiberglass nose shell, candy red paint with flame decals, side pipe exhaust, and a custom rear end with a large Chevy bowtie logo brake light. The car’s custom clamshell hood arrived before the feature debuted on the next-generation (fourth) Corvette. The car was also swapped from left hand to right hand drive to make it easier for the ladies’ man Hamill to chat up girls on the sidewalk while cruising. It boggles the mind how anyone could get a date driving this Hot Wheels-in-real-life monstrosity, but hey, the ‘70s were a weird time.

Dumb and Dumber – Mutts Cutts Van

In Dumb and Dumber, Harry (Jeff Daniels) and Lloyd (Jim Carey) travel from Rhode Island to Aspen, Colorado to deliver a “lost” briefcase. A good many of the miles are covered in Harry’s Ford Ecoline panel van customized for his work as a dog groomer. Like all committed dog groomers, Harry fitted his car with end-to-end shag carpeting, a nose, mouth (with tongue), ears, legs, and a tail. And that isn’t even the extent of the Mutts Cutts van, it also includes free samples of the most annoying sound in the world, plenty bottles of warm “beer,” and $200 car alarm. The duo ends up out of gas and desperate enough to trade the van for a minibike aka the perfect mode of transport for high-elevation mountain travel. What makes this one of the worst movie cars of all time? Just image the smell once you take it through the car wash…

Lake Dredge Explained Benefits,Methods and Environmental Impact

Lake dredging is a vital process that removes accumulated sediment, organic debris and pollutants from the bottom of lakes to restore water depth,improve water quality and enhance aquatic ecosystems.Over time lakes naturally fill with silt and nutrients,leading to shallow, murky waters and reduced biodiversity.Dredging helps reverse these effects, making lakes safer, cleaner, and more navigable.This blog explores the key benefits of lake dredging, the various methods used from mechanical to hydraulic and the environmental considerations involved. Understanding the full scope of lake dredging allows communities to make informed decisions for long-term lake health and sustainability.

Why Lakes Need Dredging The Problem of Sediment Buildup?

Over time,lake dredge accumulate sediment from natural runoff,decaying vegetation and human activity.This gradual buildup reduces water depth,limits recreational access and creates an ideal environment for invasive plants and algae blooms.As sediment thickens,oxygen levels decline, leading to poor water quality and dying aquatic life.In some cases the lake may become unsuitable for boating, fishing, or swimming. Dredging restores depth and circulation, removes harmful material, and rejuvenates the lake’s overall health.Without it, lakes can become stagnant,overgrown and unusable making regular dredging a critical step in preserving these vital freshwater resources.

Key Benefits of Lake Dredging

Lake dredging offers a wide range of benefits beyond just aesthetics. It improves water quality by removing contaminated sediment and excess nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen that fuel algae growth. Restored depth enhances recreational use, allowing boats and anglers better access. It also increases water storage capacity, crucial for stormwater management and flood control. Additionally, dredging revitalizes aquatic habitats, encouraging the return of fish and native plant life. For property owners, dredging can significantly boost shoreline value and safety. These combined benefits make lake dredging an essential investment for communities committed to environmental restoration and sustainable water management.

Common Dredging Methods Used in Lakes

Several dredging methods are used depending on the lake’s size,sediment type and environmental sensitivity.Mechanical dredging involves excavators or clamshell buckets removing sediment directly from the lakebed ideal for shallow,small lakes.Hydraulic dredging uses pumps to vacuum slurry (a mix of water and sediment) through pipes to a containment site, offering efficient removal with minimal surface disruption. Cutterhead dredges, auger dredges, and suction dredges are also popular for precision and adaptability. Choosing the right method is crucial to the success of a project and must consider sediment volume, access points, disposal plans, and ecosystem impact.

Environmental Considerations in Lake Dredging

While lake dredging improves water quality and depth, it must be carefully managed to avoid environmental harm. Disrupting the lakebed can release trapped toxins or disturb fish spawning habitats. That’s why environmental assessments and sediment testing are essential before any dredging begins. Modern dredging practices aim to minimize impact through careful planning, timing, and sediment containment. Often, dredging is scheduled outside of breeding seasons, and silt curtains are used to prevent turbidity from spreading. When done responsibly, dredging not only avoids ecological damage but also enhances biodiversity by restoring a healthier aquatic environment for native species.

Dredged Material Disposal and Reuse Options

After dredging, handling the removed sediment often called spoils is a key part of the project. Depending on its composition, dredged material can be disposed of in confined disposal facilities, used for land reclamation, or even repurposed as topsoil or fill material. In some environmentally friendly approaches, clean sediment is used to restore wetlands or rebuild eroded shorelines. However, contaminated material may require specialized treatment or containment. Proper disposal ensures that toxins aren’t reintroduced into the ecosystem. Innovative reuse strategies are transforming dredged sediment from waste into a valuable resource, adding sustainability to the dredging process.

The Role of Dredging in Algae and Weed Control

One of the most visible problems in poorly maintained lakes is the overgrowth of algae and aquatic weeds, driven by nutrient-rich sediment. Dredging addresses this by removing the nutrient-laden sludge that fuels such outbreaks. By reducing internal nutrient loading, dredging limits algae blooms and invasive plant spread without relying on chemical treatments. It also increases light penetration and water movement, both of which help restore the lake’s natural balance. This makes dredging a long-term, sustainable solution for lake management, especially in areas where repeated herbicide use or manual weed removal has proven ineffective or damaging.

Planning a Lake Dredging Project What Communities Should Know?

Dredging a lake is a complex undertaking that requires coordination, permits, environmental assessments, and community involvement. Before starting, a bathymetric survey is typically conducted to map sediment levels. Project goals must be clearly defined whether for recreation, flood control, or habitat restoration. Budgeting and funding are critical, as dredging can be costly. Regulatory compliance with local and federal environmental agencies is also necessary.Engaging stakeholders early and educating the public about the project’s benefits can ease concerns and build support. With careful planning, a dredging project can restore a lake’s health and utility for generations to come.

Conclusion

Lake dredging is a powerful tool for restoring and preserving the health,functionality and beauty of freshwater ecosystems.By removing built-up sediment and pollutants, dredging improves water quality, supports aquatic life and enhances recreational access. With a variety of methods available, communities can choose solutions tailored to their environmental and logistical needs.While the process requires thoughtful planning and environmental care, the long-term benefits far outweigh the challenges.From preventing algae blooms to boosting property values,lake dredging plays a vital role in sustainable water management.When done responsibly,it ensures that lakes remain vibrant,clean and usable for future generations.

Buy Wheel Excavator in India – Compare Prices, Features & Best Deals 2025

A wheel excavator (also known as a wheeled excavator or wheel Poclain) is a highly efficient earthmoving machine designed for projects where mobility and speed are essential. Unlike tracked excavators, which are suited for off-road and rough terrain, wheel excavators are mounted on durable rubber tires, allowing them to travel easily on paved roads without causing damage. This makes them an ideal choice for urban infrastructure, road construction, utility work, and municipal maintenance tasks.

Wheel excavators typically offer operating weights ranging from 10 tons to over 20 tons, with digging depths and reach comparable to tracked machines. One of the key advantages of a wheel excavator is its ability to move between job sites without needing a trailer — reducing setup time and lowering operating costs. The machine’s powerful hydraulics, 360-degree swing, and compatibility with a wide range of attachments (such as breakers, grapples, and clamshell buckets) make it a flexible tool for a variety of applications.If  you are planning to buy a wheel excavator in India, selecting the right model depends on factors such as required digging depth, lifting capacity, and ground conditions. Available with options like two-piece booms, offset booms, and dozer blades, these machines provide an efficient, cost-effective, and reliable solution for modern job sites that demand productivity with mobility.

Mechanical Dredges Remove

Mechanical dredges remove material by scooping it from the bottom and then placing it onto a waiting barge or into a disposal area. Dipper dredges and clamshell dredges, named for the scooping buckets they employ, are the two most common types. Mechanical dredges are rugged and can work in tightly confined areas - mechanical dredging.

Sole source of heat!

(That, however, is a CERAMIC fireplace, which means it's going to absorb quite a lot of heat and slowly re-radiate it back into the room over time. Absolutely the latest and greatest thing coming out of the Nordic countries. The Royals of Sweden have them in ALL of their palace rooms! *ttiters behind fan*)

In the early 1800s, there was zero chance of having any other source of heat, unless you were in Japan and lived at an onsen, or in Korea and had an ondol under your house. You could literally have a brazier (metal pan with hot coals), a fireplace (several designs were attempted to improve both the draft to keep smoke out of the room and to reflect and retain heat rather than letting it escape up the chimney), oil lamps, rushlights, or candles (tallow and beeswax, if you could afford the latter). These were the items that could provide heat to a room over time.

"Bed Warmers" were basically clamshell style devices that you put hot coals into, and then slid them around inside the bedding, between the sheets, to warm them up just before climbing inside to sleep. This had to be done carefully to keep from smoking and staining or singeing the sheets, and obviously you couldn't keep them there. They weren't meant to heat an entire room, however.

Hot water bottles were made out of ceramic, glass, some even out of metal...but you had to be rich to afford one, and you had to be confident it wouldn't leak, but you could at least keep it in the bed with you. (Metal ones would be wrapped in cloth to keep from searing the sleeper.) Hot baths technically were a thing, but you had to laboriously heat and lug several kettles of water from kitchen to tub--assuming you had the tub, often little more than a half-barrel or oversized bucket--and it wasn't really a soaking experience. (Plus you had to laboriously empty it out again.) But again, both not a room-heating item. (Though the bath does it a little better than you'd think.)

However, those are individual person-warming devices...and while candles and oil lamps are technically a source of flame, they're too small. Braziers were too smoky (and seen as too primitive by the 1800s), so fireplaces of various designs were the only option for heating an entire room in winter, in Europe. (The secret to the ancient Roman hypocaust had long since been lost.)

Also, one more thing: the creation of canines bred to be literal lap dogs, and of course contented cats, which were encouraged to sleep on your lap or on your feet, sharing their body-warmth. But again, that was a single person warming "device" and not something meant to heat an entire room.

Fireplaces (of various designs) were pretty much it.

Dredging a lake enhances water clarity, prevents flooding by improving water flow, and supports recreational activities like fishing and boating. For nearby communities, dredging reduces algae growth, eliminates unpleasant odors, and boosts property values by restoring the lake’s aesthetic appeal.

Common Signs Your Lake Needs Dredge

Key indicators that a lake requires dredging include excessive sediment buildup, murky water, recurring algae blooms, and reduced aquatic biodiversity. Additionally, shallow areas that were once navigable can signal a need for dredging to restore depth and functionality.

The Equipment Used in Modern Lake Dredging Projects

Advanced tools like cutter suction dredgers, hydraulic dredgers, and amphibious excavators play vital roles in modern dredging projects. These machines efficiently remove sediment with minimal environmental impact. Supporting equipment like dewatering systems ensures proper handling and disposal of dredged material.

How Lake Dredging Supports Biodiversity?

By removing accumulated organic matter and restoring natural depth, dredging promotes the return of native plants and aquatic life. This process revitalizes habitats, enabling fish, amphibians, and waterfowl to thrive. Healthy biodiversity benefits the entire ecosystem and fosters a sustainable environment.

Challenges and Environmental Considerations in Lake Dredging

Dredging must be conducted carefully to avoid disturbing wildlife or releasing trapped pollutants into the water. Eco-friendly techniques, such as hydraulic dredging and sediment containment systems, mitigate these risks and ensure the process supports long-term environmental health.

The Economic Impact of Lake Dredge Projects

Restored lakes attract tourism, increase property values, and reduce maintenance costs for water systems. The improved water quality and usability also benefit industries relying on the lake, such as fishing, hospitality, and real estate, contributing significantly to local economies.

Conclusion

Lake dredge is a vital tool for restoring and maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems. From improving water quality to boosting biodiversity and supporting local economies, its benefits are far-reaching. With modern equipment and eco-friendly practices, dredging ensures sustainable solutions for the challenges facing lakes today. Investing in lake dredging is an investment in environmental preservation and community well-being.
