#Free Mac Cleaner

[laswells-ashtray]

I’m in an angsty mood, so here’s my lil prompt for you: Sergeant dragon hybrid John attacking a superior in Mac’s defense and getting contained. And when I say contained, I mean contained. Like, muzzle on over his face, gloves and cuffs on his wrists and hands, a rope binding his wings together in an uncomfortable way, type contained.

Mac does everything in his power to get his sergeant back because we all know that that man would turn the world upside down and inside out for his so- I mean, his sergeant.

Before MacMillan walks into the room, he decides to keep up his act of professionalism. He is a captain and he can not let his personal bias for the sergeant get in the way of his job.

He steps into the room and promptly pulls a knife from his belt, what good Scotsman doesn't keep a knife on him at all times, which he then uses to carefully cut away the rope binding John's wings.

And when the man whose name he doesn't care to learn approaches him with some pish about how he isn't supposed to touch Sergeant Price due to protocol? He holds the same knife to the man's throat and very politely asks him to exit the room. The man listens.

He wastes no time in removing the muzzle, running a soothing hand over John's jaw as he lifts his head up to look the boy over.

"What you did was stupid, he was a prick but he wasn't worth lashing out over."

"Mac-"

"Can it, son. Ye solid?"

John nods and he takes that as an incentive to remove the gloves from his hands, freeing those claws that have many a time engraved the shape of a cock into his desk at base.

"Don't think I'm getting out of this one, am I? I've fucked it."

"Well and truly, but you're getting out of it."

"Wha- How? I attacked an Lt, I'd be surprised if they don't court-martial my arse."

MacMillan can't help but grin, he might've been aiming to come in and appear professional but John can't be stupid enough to think he'd come in without a plan.

"Well, as it would so happen, the cleaner that they used to clean the whiteboard in that room contains a chemical that is known for inciting volatile reactions in certain hybrids. Especially dragons."

The look of confusion on the young sergeant's face would make him laugh if it weren't for the cuffs still around his wrist.

"What? That isn't a thing, Mac. And it would take one quick search on Google to find that out." The stupid prick thinks Mac doesn't know that?

"Oh, but I'm afraid you're wrong. As luck would have it, your friend Kate was free today and had the time to send over the documents proving such a thing. Smart lassie, she is. One of your better pals, son."

He can spot the very moment it hits John, exactly what he means. How the younger man's facial features return from that tight look of worry to the all too familiar blank look he gets when he knows Mac has just lied out of his arse.

"Ah, how coincidental that she was free to find those documents. S'pose I owe you a drink or two after this?"

"Son, you owe me a fuckin' bottle."

Can I... can I ask for some househusband Leon hcs?

alright. okay. we're gonna work with a few assumptions for these headcanons.

this all comes from the hypothetical of leon being fully retired from his line of work. he still has the same backstory, skillset, traumas, everything, it's just...now he's your loyal house husband!

cooking? this all depends on where he's at in life. mid-30s and onward? he's a chef. i don't believe he'd be terribly gourmet about it. you aren't coming home to a roasted duck served with a reduced wine glaze and a perfectly made risotto...but god. he can make some damn fine spaghetti. he'd likely shoot for simple dishes, with perhaps an added flair or two. homemade burgers. lots of steak dinners. he'd prefer anything that can be prepared with minimal mess. recipes that are made with one pot or one pan...a big hit for him. he is not a pretentious eater, and that would reflect in his cooking.

now, if we're talking early to late-20s leon? erm. well. let's just say he's learning. his transition from zombie apocalypse policeman to military meat shield didn't do much for his cooking skills. and a diet of MREs and scrounged up viper parts did even less. if post-re4 leon is your house husband you're gonna be eating a lot of questionable meals. he's not completely oblivious. he won't try and feed you absolute slop, but his abilities don't much exceed kraft mac and scrambled eggs. still! he's a domestic man now. plenty of free time to try out all sorts of new things in the kitchen! be on standby with a fire extinguisher when he decides 3am is a great time to make fried chicken from scratch!

leon's independent food preferences likely revolve around utility. protein. nutrition. careful rations. compact energy a growing boy needs to kill bioweapons. he doesn't strike me as having a particularly strong sweet tooth, but he also won't say no to a bit of dessert! but he's adaptable, of course. one must be in his line of work. your tastes and favored dishes will influence his palate a lot. he'll naturally associate flavors with you and will, over time, come to adopt a lot of your dietary choices.

cleaning? leon will do his best. you can count on him to not accidentally mix mustard gas in your bathroom, but his knack for cleanliness would be...odd. i choose to believe leon has a strict standard for bodily hygiene. his extended exposure to all manner of glop and viscera means he strives to smell nice and stay on top of dirt the best he can when he is able to...on his body. a house is different. he's never had to see it as a home, merely an empty room where he sleeps and eats. so maintaining it as a tidy space might not come naturally, and it's not as if he had a proper upbringing to teach him proper housekeeping techniques (cough, cough, he's an orphan).

man's a fast learner though. expect a lot of trial and error. him accidentally using glass cleaner on the stove. or not understanding the exact purpose of fabric softener. why do we need make our bed if we're just gonna sleep in it and mess it up again? he likely has a lot of bad habits from living on his own, but gentle guidance and persistent advice will go a long way.

of course, leon needs his private time. space for him to isolate and be alone...but, you're at work all day. the loneliness is easily accessible, and now that he has all the time and freedom to be with you...it's grating. his favorite sound is the noise your key makes when it unlocks the front door. he's careful, not incredibly overbearing, but you don't make it more than a few steps into your home before his head is poking around the corner. "how was your day? you look tired. here, let me take your coat off-" leon is a listener. he doesn't talk about himself much, if at all, so he'd prefer to just hear you ramble on about whatever you need to or want to. neck rubs. gentle squeezes on your arm. light kisses on your brow. he doesn't smother. he doesn't drown you in the touch he's so starved of. but you can tell, he misses you a lot.

the real issues will probably stem from the quiet. the absolute lack of danger. take a person out of their traumatic environment and things start crumbling real fast before they can start to heal. he's hyper-aware. paranoid. has all this pent up energy and an instinct to fight. and he has to redirect it all somewhere, right? it'd come out in bizarre ways. diy projects. you come home from work and he built you a fucking chair. you don't even need a chair, but now you have one. lots of yard work. he renovated your patio and set up a birdhouse (also handmade). you didn't really want him to rearrange your living room but he did it anyways.

and it's hard for him to relax. for him to feel truly safe. he'd insist on installing locks on all the doors. bulletproof windows. guns hidden and stashed in corners of the house, just in case. any tech that could impede on his privacy (ie, amazon echos, doorbell cameras, etc) are out of the question. he'd run you through drills and hypothetical scenarios. make sure you know what to do in any situation. he's vigilant, and honestly, you've never felt safer, but it wears him down and you aren't sure if it's truly good for him.

Trying to keep me Sane #2

Part 1 (+inspiration post) —

///

As Tim finally arrive to his house, it felt as if his mind was finally getting cleaner, finally focusing on something else that wasnt-- wasn't that. The whole day of school was spent scheming up the plan, for now it was just mere ideas, things he would require and then he would plan how to get them.

1. Get in contact with the Joker (luckily it would take a while for that since he just got into Arkham... It would take at least another month or so for him to break out again if his memory is remembering his data right)

2. Make Joker trust Tim (that he still didn't knew how)

3. Ask his parents to pass him to an online school (they took a while to answer, if he was lucky they will answer his email before he had to call them)

4. Make sure Mrs. Mac don't discover he would not go to school again (the woman was an angel and he didn't want to worry her about him not socializing enought)

5. He need to tell his not-so-close-friends in school that he wouldn't go anymore (he would not risk getting the attention/worry of anyone, thank you)

6. He needed a type of disguise or the like so the Joker couldn't easily recognize him (again not wanting the attention who knew what would be of the people close to him if he discovers who he was)

But really as he get off the bus, the most important question still wasn't answered, how will he create a kind of trust with the Joker? And not even that but get him to get close... Could the Joker really trust anyone? Really the only one that seemed to follow Joker everywhere was Harley Queen and she almost didnt count because she sure as hell got manipulated by that psycho so of course Joker knew he could use her as he saw fit- because- because he made sure that she will follow him-

If- if Tim was able to fake that out to make Joker believe Tim got as crazy as Harley, that Tim got so obsessed by him that he couldn't do anything else but follow him- then that would be it.

Finally with that final peace falling rightfully in his plan and that issue got solved he could start with actual actions and not just plans and loose ideas he would need to make a lot of research he needed to be perfect on this performance, he would be on the spotlight of not just the Joker but also Harley wich was an actual psychiatrist and who knew what she remembered of that time. He couldn't also just appear in front of the joker and told him that he wanted in as his little sidekick- nobody would believe that... He needed that the Joker saw him, it needed to be Joker the one to pick Tim... To make him believe he was the one in control.

///

It had already passed another two weeks, two weeks in which he luckily got an answer from his parents, in their text they didn't seem as sure as getting him out of the school as it could meant that he couldn't make connections with future investors and make alliances with them, but really? Just a few words saying that it wasn't worthy right now, that he needed his focus on school things saying how good his parents will look when he graduated sooner and with honors, he didn't out right say it but he knew how much they like it to show him off when they were here, being able to mention how he was so independent and manage to not just self educate himself but also at a fast rate and hight honors would just be the perfect trophy for them, so in the end they accept it, and he quickly make the transition easy enought, he said his goodbyes and his see you later's and he was pretty much able to spent his time as he wanted, he could finish easily his courses of the day in half the time and had the other free to learn about psychology- and acting- and to practice- and really! having the house all alone meant he had all the space and time to do as he wanted-! even if the echo sometimes rumbles in the deeps inside of him.

///

It was really just a matter of time, and just a bit earlier of what his calculations got there was a break out in Arkham, Joker one of the inmates to go out- so it was finally time to start doing it- he would say he could go out today, but really in between all the other villains and chaos that surely will ensue in the city- it just wasn't worth it to go out and search for just one crazy man, there just a hight chance Joker could manage to not be trapped today (a 67% based on others breaks outs) so with that in mind he turn on the Tv on the news, took a notebook, see other news on his cellphone and his laptop and prepare to stay awake for the whole night following Joker whereabouts.

///

At 4 in the morning it seemed it was finally as calm as Gotham could get, and lucky him the Joker did manage to not get caught, and following the few things that he saw, and another annotations in another tab of popular hideous of the Joker... Tim could narrow where he would probably be, and if he (just a 12kid with free time and no supervision) could discover that he knew Batman would also as easily, but there was Jason Todd a kid who also had school and a life, Bruce couldn't just keep going all day so they would already turn to wherever it's his place of operations (that he was pretty sure it was close or below or somewhere inside Wayne's mansion, based of the directions of where they headed at the end of each night patrol-) and probably recollect themselves for today's "night" patrol... So now it was a wait night until late...

He thanked his parents that he didn't have to go to school now, because otherwise he wouldn't have slept at all for like another days-

///

As the sun was close to disappear in the city he prepared his new look(it was a lot more covered than the last, he didn't need for the Joker to see his face, the less he knew the more curious he will get, and the higher chances that the Joker wouldn't hurt any person close to him) he took one of the cameras he didn't feel much attached to(not risking his more expensive ones) and he make his way out, he needed to get out before Batman, he needed to make sure that Joker saw him, saw him get enthusiastic for Batman, notice that Batman didn't know about him and that it would be a great chance for him to hurt Batman where it hurt the most, in innocent kids.(Not like he is, but nobody needed to know that)

///

The sensation of the air hitting his face, and the bump in his chest going faster and faster, the puff of air as the cold night embrace him- he thought he wouldn't be able to enjoy this after the last time- but it was still there, pulsing thought his system as if it never left even after- after that- he make sure to came to the location before Batman, going close to what he thinks is where the Joker could be, and he forced himself to stay out more, to look more expectantly to the sky as if searching for something that he knew wouldn't be there for another minutes, he didn't hide his camera and made sure to make noise in his steps from time to time, he barely saw something green once trought his peripheral vision, and he knew the Joker took his bait, and just in time- he could hear from afar the grappling guns, so he make his run and now hide better outside of Batman and Robin eyes, he hoped Joker catched that and well... Now that he was here with his camera... Well... it was a great chance that he could not miss right?

///

The Joker manages to escape - through some random goons reinforcements a little tricks and also a few treats to destroy the neighborhood the Joker barely manage to lost track of the Dinamic Duo (he could also see how Robin seemed a bit more slow... Probably tired of yesterday's hunt, and that also means a Batman that worries more about Robin than the villains... It was kind of cute to see him worried about Jason...).

But as the two go in another direction, probably to another sighting of one of the other villains that were still roaming free on Gotham, he barely heard someone falling behind him, he knew who it was before he made himself known, still- he needed to act as an clueless kid, so he just made himself put away his camera and got a hold in himself, taking a deep breath... It was another different thing plan this out than-

-"Who knew someone could enjoy birdwatching as much as I do?"

Lucky Tim, he didn't need to act feared as it was the only thing running through him, he jumped in the position he was, he barely managed to keep balance on the roof, and after he gave himself a second to calm himself(that didn't do much) he turned around quickly.

A big smile was welcoming him, he gulped and he now was thinking if this was really a good idea in even the first place.

Yei second part :D

[warningsine]

All right, since I bombarded a poor mutual yesterday...

Privacy is not security and security is not privacy. These terms are not interchangeable, but they are intrinsically linked.

While we're at this, anonymity =/= security either. For example, Tor provides the former, but not necessarily the latter, hence using Https is always essential.

It is impossible to have privacy without security, but you can have security without privacy.

A case in point is administrators being able to view any data they want due to their full-access rights to a system. That being said, there are ethics and policies that usually prevent such behavior.

Some general tips:

Operating System: Switch to Linux. Ubuntu and Linux Mint are widely used for a reason. Fedora too. And don't worry! You can keep your current operating system, apps and data. If you're on a Mac computer, you can easily partition your hard drive or SSD by using Disk Utility. If you're on Windows, you can follow this guide.

You want to go a step further? Go with Whonix or Tails. They're Linux distributions as well, but they're both aiming for security, not beauty so the interface might not be ideal for everyone. Many political activists and journalists use them.

You want anonymity? Then you need to familiarize yourself with Tor. Also, Tor and HTTPS and Tor’s weaknesses. When you're using it, don't log in to sites like Google, Facebook, Twitter etc. and make sure to stay away from Java and Javascript, because those things make you traceable.

Alternatives for dealing with censorship? i2p and Freenet.

Is ^ too much? Welp. All right. Let's see. The first step is to degoogle.

Switch to a user-friendly browser like Firefox (or better yet LibreWolf), Brave or Vivaldi. There are plenty of hardened browsers, but they can be overwhelming for a beginner.

Get an ad blocker like Ublock Origin.

Search Engine? StartPage or Duckduckgo. SearXNG too. Like I said degoogle.

Get a PGP encrypted e-mail. Check Protonmail out.

There's also Tutamail that doesn't cover PGP, but uses hybrid encryption that avoids some of the cons of PGP.

Skiff mail is also a decent option.

Use an e-mail aliasing service such as SimpleLogin or AnonAddy.

Check OpenPGP out. Claws Mail is a good e-mail client for Windows and Linux, Thunderbird for Mac OS.

Gpg4win is free and easy to use for anyone that wants to encrypt/decrypt e-mails.

Instead of Whatsapp, Facebook messenger, Telegram etc. use Signal for your encrypted insant messaging, voice and video calls.

Get a metadata cleaner.

Get a firewall like Opensnitch, Portmaster or Netguard which can block Internet for trackers.

Alternatively, go with a private DNS that blocks these trackers. NextDNS is a good paid service. Rethink a good free option.

Replace as many of your applications as you can with FOSS (free and open source) ones. Alternativeto can help you.

Always have automatic updates on. They are annoying af, I know, but they are necessary.

Keep your distance from outdated software.

Always have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.

Do not use your administrator account for casual stuff. If you're on Linux, you probably know you can be sudo, but not root.

On Linux distributions use AppArmor, but stay away from random antivirus scanners. Other distributions default to SELinux, which is less suited to a beginner.

Never repeat your passwords. If you can't remember them all, use a password manager like KeePass.

Encrypt your drive.

Honestly, VPNs have their uses and ProtonVPN, Mullvad and Windscribe are decent, but eh. If you don't trust your ISP, why would you trust the VPN provider that claims they don't log you when you can't verify such a thing?

[pugwitharug]

Im going through withdrawals why is it always the good stuff that gets sent to the abyss-

Ahem anyways, can I request mc cooking anisa a meal. (She deserves it >:[] well all of them do lol) I remember one of the options in the game being to cook her something on earth or taking her out to fast food. So since there's a... low chance of ever getting anything else (;-;) I'll fufill the scenario via fic.

(Also I hope you know that you and the others that still write for LL make life worth living lol just kidding not that extreme but you are appreciated nonetheless!)

-miss anisa obsessed anon

Oh you have the biggest brain. The best brain I have ever seen. Miss Anisa Obsessed Anon, just know that I love you with my whole heart and soul and that I came back from a HUGE tumblr writing block to write about my knight wife

GN Reader, this honestly might be kinda short but it will be filled with as much love as possible, I actually recently made some baked mac and cheese that went really well so you know what I'm gonna do that but you're free to substitute it with whatever you want, I wanna revive the fandom but would it be beating a dead horse?

I think what you're talking about is both of you going to Earth and you cooking her a meal there, so let's say you're both able to travel to and from Earth easily

You bring her to your house/apartment/whatever, and she's honestly jealous

(Mainly because yours is cleaner than hers but that's every place lbh)

You both came to Earth to plan a little Earth date. She desperately wants to go to the aquarium and see the dolphins. Get her a dolphin plushie, she will adore it

But before you can set out, both of your stomachs begin to grumble with hunger. Anisa says the two of you should go get some fast food (she's been wanting to try it recently) but you say that it's been a while since you've cleaned out the kitchen and you can probably whip something up

You find noodles, flour, milk, and....cheese. A surprising amount of cheese

Baked mac and cheese it is!

Anisa doesn't know what an oven is. Okay, they have ovens in Astraea but they're more like furnaces, not convection ovens

Is it convection or convention? I'm not sure, and Anisa isn't sure either. She finds it fascinated either way

She wants to help! No self-respecting knight would let one person do all the work. However, neither of you want to burn the place down, so she can boil the pasta while you make the sauce

She makes a mess with the flour.............flour kisses.............

She steals some cheese while you're cooking. Processed cheese is definitely...different from the fresh stuff. And also not coming from the same animal

As she drains the noodles and helps you mix it with the sauce, you can see her hair poof up a little bit with excitement. Even if it's a simple dish, having good homemade food will make anyone excited

As the dish does its final cooking, she helps you with cleaning up. You thank her for the help (even tho you did most of the work lol) and she gives you a little smooch on your cheek. She still has a little crumb of cheese in the corner of her mouth

Needless to say, the dish is delicious and helped to clean out your kitchen before it all went bad

Now it's time to get to your aquarium date!

BIGGER Punch-Out!! Relationship HC's!

Shhh.. I went into more depth on a couple of the mentioned relationships from the last post..

Kaiser and Joe are obviously a romantic duo! They often go out on walks (since Kaiser likes the peace and Joe thinks forests are good places to kiss), eat at restaurants or visit each other's houses and talk over coffee. Sometimes they'll train together until Joe becomes distracted looking at Kaiser and gets decked by a punching bag.

Disco and Hippo are an unlikely friendship to be sure. I've touched on this before but since Kaiser and Joe go off on their own little ventures, Disco and Hippo are stuck together and have to come up with things to do. Disco enjoys taking Hippo around the city and showing him cool details about everyday life to help the other get accustomed to the ins and outs of such a different environment (during the time between contender and TD, Disco was the one who gave Hippo the suggestion of a guard for his stomach, but unfortunately he was too busy having his own crisis to actually help Hippo find one).

Hondo and Hugger are next, and they're probably the most obvious best friends out of everybody. They've known each other for years and compliment each other well. They're both good cooks, polite people, encouraging to others and know when to draw the line. Hugger's sense of humour also balances out how emotionally dry Hondo can be, they're pretty much each other's bread and butter. Most of the time they enjoy going out on hikes or on rare occasions volunteer together at pet shelters and help get some good animals to equally good homes.

Tiger and Don are.. hard to explain. 90% of the time they're forced next to each other and throw insults to pass the time, and the other 10% they're getting into fights over said insults. It's impossible to count the amount of times one of Tiger's clones has stolen Don's toupee and stuck it to the ceiling as a joke. Poor Hugger has to act as the Dad for them, separating their fights and calming tensions with his signature 'I'm not mad, just disappointed' glare. Hondo threatens them with his signature 'So help me God if you don't stop now, there will be hell to pay' glare. Both work. Overall Don and Tiger are good friends, they just express their friendship in very.. bothersome ways.

Aran. Dear God. You'd assume he doesn't have any friends, but there's two notable people. First off there's Tiger, who people actually know Aran gets along with well. They enjoy poking fun at others to pass the time and usually stand in the corner of the room pointing things out and making each other laugh. Tiger is also one of the only people who supports Aran's pranks, but mostly because if he supports Aran then he can't be pranked himself. It's a friendship with benefits, in a way. Second off there's Hondo, who nobody knows about. Both Hondo and Aran keep the friendship they have hidden well under wraps, with Aran constantly sneaking over to Hondo's house so they can watch anime and draw.

Soda and Bull are similar to Hondo and Hugger in the sense that they've known each other for ages and everybody knows it. There's never a time when they're apart, since Soda's always there to help Bull stay calm and Bull's always there to stop Soda from being too social (like starting conversations with shady strangers since he can't read people very well). Sometimes they're forced to go their separate ways when Soda goes off with his doctor or Bull goes to therapy, but they're never away for long. Usually they hang around in a dry cleaners run by an old couple they enjoy the company of, since it's quiet and they get free stuff if they behave.

Last is Macho and Sandman, an unlikely pair! Even though Macho started off hating Sandman since he was the one thing keeping him from the title, he came to like him more after Mac stormed the ranks and they ended up becoming good friends. Macho often trails after Sandman when he goes to volunteer work like cleaning the rings after matches or helping in soup kitchens, even if he hates it.. he basically just does it to be around Sandman more. Now that is a huge signal right there, but Sandman really doesn't catch on, since Macho is naturally a himbo and at this point Sandy doesn't question anything he does or says. He is beyond being questioned.. there's not a thought in his brain.

1.028 - Take a shower

“That sounds amazing,” she sighs. The grime and sweat clinging to her skin feels like it's from more than just an afternoon's outing. Her skin crawls at the thought of finally being clean again.

“Guest suite's right that way,” Jethro says, pointing down a hall. “My sister's clothes are still there, so feel free to borrow what you want.”

A sister? Chie wants to pry, but the shower calls her name. With a word of thanks, she slips into the guest room. It's small, quaint, and clean (clean if she ignores the water damage, the peeling paint, and damaged ceiling fan. There's no dust, and the bed linens look freshly laundered). A plain brown comforter on a full-sized bed, a yellowing dresser set, and an empty wall shelf are all that decorate the tiny room.

Chie sets her bag on the bed and pulls a pair of underwear, basketball shorts, and a tank top from a drawer. They smell musty, but are far cleaner than her own clothes. Toiletries and clothes in hand, Chie enters the bathroom. The worn tiles and scratched tub detail a battle, almost lost, against mildew and tub stains. From the spots she can see, she assumes the war is ongoing.

A short shower, then, Chie decides as she turns the knobs. The shower head rattles ominously before spitting out luke-warm water, and Chie steps in, sighing as sweat and sea salt rinse off. The water quickly turns cold, and Chie focuses on scrubbing the feeling of scales off herself.

Once done, Chie dresses and joins Jethro in the kitchen. Chipped plates hold a block of macaroni-and-something-else casserole with steamed, wilty vegetables on the side. She sits at the table, chasing away mental images of katsu chicken curry and fried rice. She's hungry enough that she doesn't care what she eats so long as it's edible.

“It looks great,” Chie says as Jethro sets the plate and silverware down.

“Thanks. It's a tuna mac casserole. My mom used to make it.”

And he transformed so you're thinking it's amazing nothing's happening but he is constantly losing it and only 80% of it is destroyed in the bloodstream because the radiation is not high enough and it looks like anyways this is a picture of what our son might look like similar his stomach our son's stomach will shrink and he'll get bigger and the muscles would be more defined and won't be saggy it's coming up pretty soon

“Yeah, I wish vampires were real so they’d bite me,” says today’s youth, puffing happily on a mango vape. Meanwhile, every vamp in a ten mile radius is recoiling because of how ASS their blood is gonna taste with all those chemicals in.

“Haha well I don’t smoke so—“ I saw you eat a Big Mac those nitrates are gonna get you. I like my meals to be free of filler chemicals thank you very much!!!

“Oh I ate subway—“ hun that’s not even bread. It’s herb flavored fluff paste. Subway has the least percentage of real meat in their “deli products” out of all fast food chains, burgers, tacos, or otherwise.

Eat clean for your vampire boyfriend, take care of yourself, and know what you’re putting in your body. Raspberries are a great blood cleaner, and so are onions! Low iron can be fixed by cooking with an iron fish in your pan, you could literally be eating Mac and cheese and still making your blood healthier. Self love is WORK, do it for the vamps <3 <3 <3

Best Cleaner and Polish for Solid Surface Countertops

Solid surface countertops are known for their sleek appearance, durability, and low maintenance. But just like any high-quality surface, they need regular cleaning and occasional polishing to keep them looking their best. If you're searching for the best solid surface countertop cleaner and polish, you're in the right place.

In this guide, we’ll explain how to properly clean and maintain your countertops, what products to use (and avoid), and where to turn for professional advice and service—like the experts at Elite Stone.

What Are Solid Surface Countertops?

Solid surface countertops are a popular choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces. Made from a blend of acrylic or polyester resins and natural minerals, these surfaces are non-porous, hygienic, and easy to repair. Popular brands include Corian®, HI-MACS®, and Staron®, among others.

Thanks to their smooth, seamless finish, solid surface countertops are ideal for people looking for a modern, low-maintenance alternative to granite or marble.

Why Cleaning and Polishing Matters

Even though solid surface countertops are stain-resistant and non-porous, they still require proper care to avoid dulling or surface damage over time. Grease, hard water spots, and daily wear can gradually make the surface appear cloudy or lifeless.

Regular cleaning removes buildup, while polishing revives the original luster and shine.

Choosing the Right Solid Surface Countertop Cleaner

The first step in maintaining your countertops is using the right cleaner. A general-purpose, non-abrasive household cleaner is usually sufficient for daily use. Look for pH-balanced or ammonia-free products to avoid damaging the surface.

Top Qualities to Look for in a Cleaner:

Non-abrasive: Avoid anything that can scratch or dull the surface.

pH-neutral: Harsh chemicals can degrade the finish over time.

Streak-free formula: Especially for darker colors, this helps maintain a clean appearance.

Avoid:

Bleach

Strong acids or alkalis

Abrasive scrub pads

The Best Way to Clean Solid Surface Countertops

Follow these steps for routine cleaning:

Wipe Down Daily: Use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and mild soap.

Tackle Stains Promptly: For tougher spots, use a solid surface-specific cleaner or mix baking soda and water into a paste.

Dry Thoroughly: Prevent water spots by drying the surface with a clean, soft towel.

How to Polish Solid Surface Countertops

Polishing restores shine and smoothness, especially for older or well-used counters. However, not all polishing products are the same. Choose a solid surface countertop polish that’s specifically formulated for acrylic or resin-based surfaces.

Steps to Polish Like a Pro:

Clean First: Remove all dirt and grease.

Apply Polish: Use a dedicated solid surface polish with a microfiber cloth.

Buff Gently: Work in circular motions, allowing the polish to enhance the shine.

Repeat as Needed: Polishing once a month is usually sufficient for most homes.

Recommended Products

While specific product brands may vary depending on your location, here are a few reliable types of products to look for in stores or online:

Weiman Solid Surface Cleaner & Polish: 2-in-1 formula that's safe and effective.

Hope’s Perfect Countertop Cleaner: Non-residue formula for a streak-free shine.

Gel-Gloss Solid Surface Polish: Designed to restore shine without harsh chemicals.

Be sure to test any new product on a small area first to ensure compatibility.

Preventative Maintenance Tips

In addition to cleaning and polishing, a few habits can help keep your solid surface countertops in perfect condition:

Use cutting boards: Avoid cutting directly on the surface.

Use trivets or hot pads: Protect against heat damage.

Clean up spills quickly: Especially coffee, wine, or food coloring.

When to Call in the Experts

If your solid surface countertops have deep scratches, burn marks, or stubborn stains, it might be time to call a professional. Refinishing or resurfacing by experienced installers can bring your countertops back to like-new condition.

If you're located in Ontario or nearby and need professional guidance or services, check out Elite Stone.

Final Thoughts

The key is using a solid surface countertop cleaner and polish that’s specifically made for these materials—and staying consistent with your care routine.

Week 12: Installation Week

I noticed I had an entire block of code that just wasn't in the game so I fixed that! I fleshed it out more so the player could learn more about reality-shifting if they choose to work on the group project!

UPDATED UI during Game Design III, my classmates suggested that I do something to spruce up the UI. I had already changed the font I used from the default one but no one noticed so I also changed the name display font.

I tried several different aesthetics for the UI (which I didn't take any pictures of, sorry), mostly leaning towards a retro Windows looking thing but then i realized pretty quickly that it didn't fit the vibe of the game (especially the beginning segments) so I went for a cleaner rounder vibe.

Very cool.

Made a stupid lil icon for the game.

I switched out a lot of the background images for things i thought fit the vibe better. I added da dog in the beginning segment, didn't animate it but it's better than nothing.

I also replaced the intro screen background!

I rewrote the bad ending and wrote a good and neutral ending then added them all in the game! I also added a bonus bad ending in which the player will have a panic attack if their stress reaches 10 three times. It's kinda hard to get though but possible!

I tried to implement a thing in which the game will return the main menu after 5 minutes of no player input, but I couldn't figure it out :(

I added more shifting methods to the areas I couldn't reuse the other ones for.

I added ending credits!

Speaking of credits I didn't end up getting the reality-shifting music so I just found free-to-use music on Youtube.

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

Installation Stuff!

It was easier to set up my tent this time around as I've already done it like 2 times before.

I didn't finish my game at the time of installation so I uploaded the most current version of my game at the time to the Mac computer. I brought a monitor but then Soomi switched me over to the other side of the room, so I got to use the TV instead but then I brought the wrong cable so I couldn't hook things up on the first day

Allyson suggested that the tent would be moved so it'll look more dynamic or something so the next day we tilted it. But the image too big for tumblr so this all you get. Also we got the TV working.

that's probably all, I finished up working on the game on Thursday before the exhibition so I installed it on the computer and then everything was cool.

How to Declutter Your Digital Space Without Lifting a Finger (Almost)

Digital clutter is sneaky. One day your phone and laptop are running smoothly, and the next, your desktop looks like a file explosion and your cloud storage is screaming for mercy.

The good news? You don’t need to spend hours cleaning it all up.

If you’ve already peeked at the lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life, this guide takes it a step further. These strategies are so effortless, it’s almost like you're not doing anything at all — just the way we like it.

1. Automate Your Cloud Storage Cleanup

Cloud platforms like Google Drive or Dropbox offer easy-to-use filters and automation tools. You can set them to auto-delete trash, auto-archive old files, or even color-label folders for visual clarity.

Try this lazy trick: Use Google Workspace’s "Storage Management" tool to bulk delete large files, duplicates, and old backups.

2. Use Smart Tools Like “Cleanfox” for Your Inbox

Manual unsubscribing is so last year. Tools like Cleanfox or Leave Me Alone scan your inbox, show you a list of all newsletters and subscriptions, and let you unsubscribe with a swipe or click.

Bonus points: They also show you how much CO₂ you save by decluttering your inbox. Lazy + eco-friendly? Yes please.

3. Schedule Your Phone to Auto-Delete Old Media

Most smartphones let you auto-delete photos, screenshots, or downloaded files after a set period. In iOS, enable Optimize iPhone Storage; on Android, use Files by Google to clean junk files in seconds.

Pair this habit with the mindset from the top 10 lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life, and you’ve got a phone that runs smoother without you lifting a finger.

4. Use “Stack” Apps to Organize Notes and Docs Automatically

Apps like Evernote, Notion, or OneNote allow auto-tagging, sorting, and folder rules.

Lazy Genius Tip: Set up templates or automations so that every new note is filed where it belongs — without you doing it manually.

5. Let Your Browser Clean Itself

Use browser extensions like:

OneTab: Closes all open tabs and saves them in a list

Tab Suspender: Auto-pauses inactive tabs

History AutoDelete: Keeps your browser history from becoming a hoarder's paradise

It’s a solid sidekick to the habits in the top 10 lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life post.

6. Set Recurring Reminders That Actually Work

The key word here is “recurring.” Instead of relying on memory, set monthly 10-minute digital cleanup reminders on your calendar. Automate the repeat, and you’ll never have to remember it again.

Use tools like:

Google Calendar (with reminders and checklists)

TickTick or Todoist (with smart recurring tasks)

Siri or Google Assistant (voice commands FTW)

7. Auto-Sort Downloads Using Folder Rules

Tools like Hazel (Mac) or File Juggler (Windows) can auto-organize your downloads folder based on file type, name, or date.

For example:

Move PDFs to Documents

Send images to Pictures

Trash zip files after 24 hours

This lazy automation turns chaos into calm without constant manual effort.

8. Delete Duplicate Files With a Click

Duplicate files = wasted space. Use tools like:

Gemini 2 (Mac)

CCleaner (Windows)

Duplicate Cleaner Free

These apps scan and clean up your hard drive or cloud storage with minimal interaction — perfect for lazy geniuses like us.

9. Use a Dashboard to See Everything at a Glance

Use Notion or Trello to build a minimalist dashboard of your digital world — to-dos, file links, notes, calendar, and tools all in one spot. Bonus: once it’s built, you just update it here and there.

Pair this with any technique from the top 10 lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life and you’ll become the CEO of calm.

10. Empty the Trash — Automatically

Set your system or cloud service to auto-empty the trash every 30 days. No emotional attachment needed.

Go to your system settings or storage settings (Google Drive, iCloud, etc.) and toggle on the auto-delete function.

Final Thoughts: It’s Not About Working Hard — It’s About Working Smart

Decluttering your digital life doesn't have to be a marathon. With these smart, nearly hands-off hacks, your devices can stay organized while you go do... well, anything else.

Think of this post as a deeper dive into the top 10 lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life — because the lazier the hack, the better the result.

How to Make a Clipping Path in Photoshop (Step-by-Step for Beginners)

Not too long ago, I was in the middle of creating a product catalog for an online store I was working with. The images were great, but the backgrounds? Not so much. I needed clean, background-free images to make the products stand out. I asked around, and someone said, “Just create a clipping path in Photoshop.” At the time, I had no idea what that even meant. But once I figured it out, it changed the game.

If you're like I was—searching for how to make a clipping path in Photoshop—this guide is for you.

New to Photoshop? No worries! This easy clipping path tutorial will help you isolate any object like a pro. Great for beginners and creatives! #PhotoshopTutorial #ClippingPath #EditingTips #CreativeDesign #PhotoshopHelp

What is a Clipping Path in Photoshop?

Let’s get straight to the point. A clipping path in Photoshop is a vector path used to cut out an object from its background. It allows you to isolate a subject cleanly, especially useful in product photography and eCommerce.

In short: A clipping path tells Photoshop, “Show only what’s inside this line. Hide the rest.”

Why You Might Need a Clipping Path

Whether you’re a Shopify seller, Amazon retailer, wedding photographer, or social media influencer, clean images matter. A clipping path lets you remove busy or unwanted backgrounds so your product, person, or property pops.

I personally needed it when designing promotional banners for a fashion brand. The raw shots looked dull with the studio background, but once I clipped the subject—bam! It looked like a pro campaign.

How to Make a Clipping Path in Photoshop (Step-by-Step)

Here’s the simple version—because nobody likes confusing tutorials.

Step 1: Open Your Image

Start by launching Photoshop and opening the image you want to edit.

Shortcut: Ctrl + O (Windows) or Cmd + O (Mac).

Step 2: Select the Pen Tool

From the toolbar, choose the Pen Tool (P). This is your main tool for drawing the clipping path.

Note: Make sure the mode is set to Path, not Shape.

Step 3: Zoom In

Zoom in on the object you want to cut out. The more you zoom, the more precise you can be.

Shortcut: Ctrl + + (Zoom in), Ctrl + - (Zoom out)

Step 4: Start Drawing the Path

Click around the object’s edge to create anchor points. If the edge curves, click and drag to create smooth curves.

Tip: Keep the path tight but natural. Don’t overdo it with too many points.

Step 5: Close the Path

Once you’ve gone around the object, close the path by clicking on your starting point.

You’ve just made a basic clipping path in Photoshop!

Step 6: Save the Path

In the Paths panel (Window > Paths), double-click the “Work Path” and save it with a name like "Product Path."

Step 7: Convert to Clipping Path

With the path selected, go to the Paths menu and choose Make Clipping Path.

Done! You can now export the image without the background.

Practical Tips to Get the Perfect Handmade Clipping Path

Over time, I’ve learned a few tricks that make all the difference:

Use a graphic tablet for better hand control, especially on complex shapes like hair or fabric folds.

Adjust anchor points with the Direct Selection Tool (A) if your curves don’t look smooth.

Feather carefully. Don’t feather unless you want soft edges. For product photos, hard edges are cleaner.

Keep it zoomed in. It’s tempting to work zoomed out for speed, but zoomed-in paths are much more accurate.

Quick tip: Always use high-resolution images. The clearer the edge, the better your clipping path will be.

Want crisp, professional-looking images? Learn how to make a clipping path in Photoshop in just a few steps! Perfect for product photos, eCommerce, and creative projects. #ClippingPath #PhotoshopTips #PhotoEditing #ProductPhotography #DesignHack

When to DIY and When to Hire a Clipping Path Service

If you’ve got just a few images, doing it yourself might be worth the effort. But if you’re dealing with bulk product photos or complex edges—like hair, fur, or lace—it’s smarter (and cheaper in the long run) to use a professional service.

Let’s talk about a few top options:

✅ Expert Clipping

🟢 Tech Cloud Ltd

Best for: Real estate, automotive, and large-scale image editing.

Use them if: You’re in real estate or architecture and need tons of image edits with accuracy.

🔴 Photo Editing BD

Best for: Budget-friendly options and simple clipping path services.

Ideal for: Small business owners or Etsy sellers just starting out.

Need help deciding? If you want consistent ecommerce-ready photos fast, I’d personally start with Expert Clipping. I’ve used them for fashion catalogs and bulk Amazon listings—and the results were on point.

Final Thoughts

Learning how to make a clipping path in Photoshop was one of those skills I didn’t know I needed—until I did. Whether you're editing one photo or a hundred, mastering the pen tool gives you total control over your visuals.

But don’t stress if it feels tricky at first. I struggled too. Just keep practicing, zoom in close, and remember—every pro was once a beginner.

If you ever feel stuck, or need to outsource the task for speed and quality, services like Expert Clipping have your back.
