I fell in love in rainy October, completely.

Waiting for Halloween. 11 days left!

[xenomorphicdna]

On the string propaganda

Heeellll yeah

Bestie is an entire PLACE

I look at those guys and let me tell you the soul of that thing ain't just in the puppet, it's in all the neurons carrying the thoughts and emotions, it's in the power rails that serve as the heart. All the memories in the memory conflux and all the numbers we see flicker across displays, the flux condensers, the puppet; a little avatar.

No way these massive machines see life the same way we do. They have their own experiences and senses and things they hold dear. A world we can't imagine, a way of living we couldn't even comprehend.

I could never tear an iterator apart to be just a puppet. Who am I to decide how's life supposed to be enjoyed or perceived?

You treat your creechurs however you want- I ain't gonna dictate that. But damn, hearing the thrums and buzzes of the linear systems rail? They are alive with so much power, these mechanical beasts are exactly what they should be.

Hi guys so I got some unexpected car expenses that came up this morning. Already had planned to change my tires but might as well bite the bullet and do the change now if one is already fucked.

So If you had your eye on something from my shop or thinking about coms… *nudge nudge* Any shares are greatly appreciated as well~

YES PLEASE USE NEWPIPE its so good you can download video+audio in a ton of different formats or just audio as m4a, and then you can use video transcoder from fdroid or github to change the codec to whatever you want. It is so genuinely amazing and doubles as an alternative youtube client AND it has no ads

One thing I really love about seedy anime websites and YouTube mp3 converters is like. They actually do what they say they’re doing. But they WILL try to trick you into downloading a virus. Like it’s almost just a greeting at this point. I try to extract a song from a YouTube video and it says free VPN installer tonight perhaps? Free VPN installer tonight queen? And I say YouTube-mp3 converter you sly dog, you know what I’m here for. Show me the goods. And YouTube-mp3 converter says ahhh you got me, no getting one over on you. Thought it was worth a try tho. Here you go king x

Weatherproofing Industrial Equipment: Smart Solutions for Harsh Environments

Discover practical methods and real-world advice to safeguard your machinery from rain, dust, heat, and corrosion—because downtime is never an option.

📘 Introduction

Why I Started Caring About Weatherproofing

A few years ago, I watched one of our most reliable outdoor compressors break down after a night of heavy rain. It was just one storm, but it cost us over $10,000 in repairs and halted production for 3 full days. That was my wake-up call. Since then, I’ve made it my mission to understand weatherproofing industrial equipment and implement smart, sustainable strategies.

A Costly Mistake That Taught Me a Lesson

The mistake? We assumed equipment labeled "rugged" could withstand anything. But harsh weather doesn't discriminate. Rain penetrates, UV rays degrade, and rust creeps in slowly but surely.
