Why I think Byler is endgame

Before we start, you must know I'm really skeptical about theories and all. I like to read and have fun with them, but believe them? It's really hard for me as a 20 years old queer person. Since young I've suffered being queerbaited by mainstream series, Stranger Things wouldn't be the first nor the last to do that.

I know today things are a little bit better, but for the sake of my poor broken heart, I'm always expecting a deception. Yet, I can see byler happening in season 5.

Here we go to the reasons why.

The existence of Robin

I've heard a lot of straight people say, before season 4 and even now, that "Will can't be gay because Robin is the gay person in the show. There is no reason for another one".

Like? The show can have 38272 straight, developed and important for the plot characters, all of them with love interests and happy endings, and one gay character inserted as a comic relief is fine. Two? To much to deal with.

I know, I know, disgusting. BUT what if I say that Robin was not a character added to the show only for a comic relief or identity representation at all? That she was presented for the watchers to consider the existence of a gay character in the show. For them to recognize some queer coded things that, without Robin, they wouldn't be able to?

Robin was presented to us in Season 3. As we must know, the third season of the show is mainly dedicated to character and relationships development. Thanks to it, we got to see the characters way more cylindrically, their fears, mistakes, who they are in their normal daily life. Mike, El, Hopper, Joyce, Erica and Steve gained many new layers in this season, but Will had the most special one: the first explicit hint of his sexuality.

And then, Robin appears. At first we are conditioned to think she likes Steve, the Duffers play a game with the watchers' heteronormativity using the dubiousness of their dialogs. And then, boom! She is lesbian. Not only lesbian but repressedly in love with a girl - at least was - and jealous of Steve.

Thanks to this coming out scene

The interpretation door was open to see this as Will being in love with a boy, repressing his feelings and being jealous of the girl the boy is dating with.

Will's jealousy and feelings for Mike back then stamped the background of everything, it was being slowly built inside the show - but not inside the character, remember the Snow Ball script? It was always there, just unseen.

Until here we are only remarking that Will is gay. But what Robin has to do with byler as a ship?

Well, if she is the queer character created to open this door for Will, created to gain the sympathy of the general public as comic relief character who bonded with two of the most popular characters of the show - Dustin and Steve - since s3, showing the watchers the struggles of a queer person in the 80's in a "light" way and making the viewers to cheer for her love life, of course her character holds a big role with byler building a romantic relationship.

Robin appeared in Season 3 because the viewers wanted Milven to happen in season 2 - thanks to the heteronormativity and kids sexualization I may say - when it wasn't going to, it wasn't scripted like this and it's not going to be endgame. So Robin's creating a scape route for the writers.

The hints given about Will being called a f@g and Mike over protective and supportive behavior with Will were not enough to create this bridge between friends and lovers as we know very well.

Movie Date and Schrodinger Cat

Moving on. We know Will is gay. Okay. What is still uncertain in the show is Mike's sexuality and required feelings towards Will. Here, we are focusing in the required feelings part.

I read a lot of analysis about the "movie date scene". I remember people discussing the blushing frame and the holding hands theory even before s4 coming out and at the time it sounded like joke to me - as I said I'm really skeptical. Yet, after rewatch the part and reading a lot (especially @greenfiend 's one about the holding hands thing), I feel like I finally understood why the scene is so spoken of.

It's pretty simple, it's another open door. Not like Robin who is there to guide us to read between the lines but as something that is open to interpret and rely on when they finally get together. It was made for when people start to question "where did this relationship came from?" and create assumptions like "it came out of the nowhere".

In the scene, Lucas, Max, Mike and Will go to Starcourt's movie theater to watch a horror movie together. When arguing about Mike's behavior, Lucas remarks that he is spending romantic time with his girlfriend by going there. When they are finally inside, lumax and byler sits separately, then things start to get really fishy.

The construction of the whole next part, when they are inside the movie theater, from the beginning of the movie to the black out and end of the scene, are basically hands. Hands everywhere. In the close ups, in the people around them and even in the movie. Why? For us to see it, to think of it, to imagine. To imagine what? It's up to you of course, but we know people hold hands at movie theaters, specially when watching a horror movie, and we also know byler is the main focus on that scene for some reason.

But they didn't show us their hands, did them? No. Because of that, no one can really say they were holding hands, but the same can't be said about them not holding their hands. The construction of the scene deliberately leads us to question the possibility, however there is no true answer. Like the Schorodinger Cat, they are holding and not-holding their hands.

Also, the "are you okay?" Mike says, the camera play and Noah's acting leads us to think that, if they are holding their hands, it was Mike's initiative, not Will's.

The whole scene is purposefully dubious.

Noah looks down at his hand at the end of the interaction, up again, and then smiles. It's there but they don't show us! At the same time, if it was an unromantic moment, they would've shown us they were holding hands as they did before, so why not? Why do they keep the whole thing subtle, calculated, and masked by the MF plot if not to hold a secret meaning behind it all. A secret meaning for us to discover yet.

Like pleaseee, I swear this is some kind of torture for us gay people.

Mike's character construction and Finn's acting

I'm a ST fan since the beginning. I was here when the major public liked Jonathan better than Steve, when Mike was the favorite member of the party, and Finn was treated as one of the best child actors of the show. Looking back, it's pretty obvious things changed a lot since the third season.

Why things changed? In the last two seasons, Finn was accused of being "out of the character" and "having a bad acting". And Mike turned into a douchebag in public eyes.

The truth is: the way the writers had chosen to show us Mike changed. He still is the same insecure, paranoic, loyal, compassionate character who is a jerk sometimes from the beginning, but we didn't get the chance to see his POV since s2.

Mike is a character trapped in the expectations of the viewers. They expected him to date El, to love El as a girlfriend, to treat her the way she deserves - what he can do, but clearly not as a boyfriend. Their relationship wasn't scripted the way it happened, so his character needed to go through some changes to remain himself. And, of course, for mlvn to end, the viewers needed to hate his version with El. Again, it is a scape route.

His character is still the same, but the way we see him is different. The truth is the viewers expected Mike to acts towards El the way he did with Will after they started dating: unconditionally supportive, trusting, and understanding, but guess what? This was never on Mike's character to begin with.

He doesn't understand, trust, or support people unconditionally. They are showing how much he is inflexible and selective in what he wants to believe since the very first episode, we can see that in the relationship with his family and friends. Just remember his fights with Lucas in s1, s2 and s4 and Dustin in s2 and s3, they are his CHILDHOOD FRIENDS, but even them don't have the pleasure of Mike's unconditionally support and trust. The only character he is truly open to is Will.

These changes were made for us to see the difference between Will and the rest of the world for Mike. In season 3, when he appears to be a jerk to everyone, no exception at all, the only person he seems to retract this behavior for is Will. In season 4, Mike fights El and Will, but again, the only one he seems to understand and retract from his defenses for is Will. Again, the only person he is really open with.

Now, speaking about sexuality, the other reason for people to blame Finn's acting is the awkwardness in kissing and intimate scenes - like the first I love you he heard from his girlfriend.

I don't know about you, but for me, it is almost painful to watch them kissing. Not only kissing, the whole dating thing looks like a performance, and it's not a good one, if I may say. But here is the thing, it's on purpose! The same goes for the looks he gives Will's and Eddie's body.

Don't even think that every look, expression, or camera play is not calculated. These people spend so much money in the show for it to be half assed by bad acting or misinterpretation of the script.

The Ultimate Guide to Screw Oil Press: How It Works and Its Benefits

In today’s world, extracting pure and healthy oil is more crucial than ever. One of the most efficient methods of oil extraction is through the Screw Oil Press, a popular machine used in various industries for extracting oil from seeds and nuts. This blog will walk you through the workings, advantages, and overall benefits of the screw oil press, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of why this machine is a game-changer for oil extraction.

What is a Screw Oil Press? A screw oil press, also known as an oil expeller, is a machine designed to extract oil from oil-bearing materials such as seeds, nuts, and beans. The pressing process involves the continuous rotation of a screw shaft within a cylindrical chamber, where the raw materials are crushed and squeezed to extract oil. It is widely used for both commercial and small-scale oil production, with applications spanning from cooking oil manufacturing to biodiesel production.

How Does a Screw Oil Press Work? The working mechanism of a screw oil press is relatively simple yet highly effective. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Feeding: Oil-bearing seeds or nuts, such as sunflower seeds, soybeans, peanuts, or sesame, are fed into the machine’s hopper.

Pressing: The seeds are then moved into the pressing chamber where a rotating screw applies pressure. As the material progresses through the chamber, the pressure increases, breaking down the oil sacs in the seeds.

Separation: As the screw continues to rotate, the oil is squeezed out of the raw materials, and the oil is forced through small perforations in the pressing chamber, separating it from the solid material (which is referred to as the “cake”).

Collection: The extracted oil is collected through an outlet, ready for further processing or direct use, while the remaining cake can either be processed for animal feed or other uses.

Types of Screw Oil Press Screw oil presses come in various sizes and capacities depending on the type of oil to be extracted and the scale of production. There are two primary types:

Cold Press Oil Expeller: Cold pressing occurs at a low temperature, preserving the oil’s natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional content. This method is popular for producing premium oils such as olive, flaxseed, or avocado oils.

Hot Press Oil Expeller: Hot pressing involves heating the raw material before pressing. This method yields more oil and is widely used for soybean and other large-scale oil production.

Benefits of Using a Screw Oil Press 1. Efficient Oil Extraction The screw oil press is designed for maximum efficiency, ensuring that you get the highest possible yield of oil from your raw materials. This is especially important for commercial operations, where maximizing output can significantly boost profitability.

2. Cost-Effective Compared to other oil extraction methods, screw oil presses are relatively affordable, making them a cost-effective option for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and even individual farmers looking to produce their own oil.

3. Versatility Screw oil presses can handle a wide variety of seeds and nuts, making them a versatile tool for oil extraction. Whether you’re working with sunflower seeds, peanuts, rapeseed, or even coconut, this machine can efficiently extract oil from numerous oil-bearing crops.

4. Easy to Operate Most screw oil press machines are user-friendly, requiring minimal training to operate. The simple mechanism ensures that the machine can be run by individuals with basic technical knowledge, reducing the need for skilled labor.

5. Environmentally Friendly The screw oil press does not involve the use of chemicals or solvents during the extraction process, making it an environmentally friendly option. Additionally, the residual cake can be repurposed, further minimizing waste.

6. High-Quality Oil Screw oil presses are designed to retain the natural properties of the oil. This results in high-quality, unrefined oil that is rich in nutrients, making it healthier for consumption and suitable for premium oil markets.

Applications of Screw Oil Press Food Industry: Used extensively in the production of cooking oils such as soybean oil, sunflower oil, and sesame oil. Cosmetic Industry: Screw oil presses are also employed in extracting oils used in cosmetic formulations, such as argan oil and coconut oil. Biofuel Industry: The machine is essential in producing biofuels, with oils like rapeseed being a key ingredient in biodiesel. Pharmaceuticals: Some oils extracted through screw oil presses are used for medicinal purposes, making the machine invaluable in pharmaceutical production. Conclusion The Screw Oil Press is an essential tool for oil extraction, whether for commercial production or personal use. Its versatility, efficiency, and ability to produce high-quality oil make it an indispensable machine across multiple industries. If you’re considering entering the oil extraction business or looking to improve your existing process, investing in a screw oil press could be a smart decision.

Benefits of extruded rubber for commercial purposes

All types of extruded rubber products have been used for the past centuries. Different types of processing methods have developed in the past few years, but one of the most preferred choices is rubber extrusion.

What is the rubber extrusion process?

The process is used by the manufacturing of rubber products under which the rubber material is converted into different shapes of the product so that it can have various applications.

How do you get the extruded rubber products?

You can get extruded rubber products by using an extruded rubber machine. The two major parts of the device include the shearing screw conveyor and the shaping die.

For the manufacturing of rubber products by the use of extrusion, the raw rubber is put inside the screw. Then it needs to get inside and then get additional heat inside the conveyor.

The stock then moves towards the conveyor from the hopper. Inside the hopper, the rubber gets soft by the process of shearing and heating.

When the rubber is soft enough, it is pushed through the opening in the die, where it receives the desirable shape. After getting the shape, the new shape emerges on the other end of the extruder.

Once this process gets complete, the rubber also receives the second processing method. The second processing includes steps like dusting and vulcanization.

Under the dusting procedure, the powder is put on the rubber so that rubber products in India can adhere to other materials. Under the process of vulcanization, rubber is cured with compounds like sulfur.

This helps in strengthening the extruder rubber products. Other secondary methods include drilling, cutting, splicing, and coiling.

Applications of extruded rubber

For more than 30 years, extruded rubber products has been used for different purposes across different industries.

These rubbers have applications for purposes like seals, edging trims, dunnage, and bumpers. The best part about the extruded rubber is that it is highly elastic and flexible.

How does dust collector work?

Basic Working Principle

Capture: Dust-laden air enters the dust collector through an inlet, typically driven by a fan or blower. The air can be collected from various sources such as production machinery, material handling, or general work environments.

Separation: Inside the dust collector, a series of filters or a filtering medium separates the dust particles from the air. There are several types of dust collection methods, including.

Baghouse Filters: These use fabric filter bags to trap dust particles. As air passes through the fabric, dust is captured on the surface of the bags.

Cartridge Collectors: These use cylindrical or pleated cartridge filters, providing a larger surface area for dust collection.

Cyclone Collectors: These utilize centrifugal force to separate dust particles from the air stream. The dust-laden air enters a cyclone chamber, where the spinning motion causes the dust particles to move to the outer wall and fall into a collection bin.

Electrostatic Precipitators: These charge dust particles electrically and collect them on oppositely charged plates.

Filtration: The clean air passes through the filters and is then discharged from the collector. Depending on the design, this clean air can be recirculated back into the workspace or expelled outside

Dust Disposal: The collected dust is periodically removed from the collection bin or hopper. In automated systems, a rotary valve or screw conveyor may continuously remove the dust, whereas in simpler systems, manual removal is required.

Types of Dust Collectors by Ventilair India Private Limited

Baghouse Dust Collectors: Suitable for high-volume dust collection, these are ideal for industries like cement, metalworking, and woodworking.

Cartridge Dust Collectors: These provide efficient filtration for fine dust and are used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and welding.

Cyclone Dust Collectors: Best for larger, heavier dust particles, these are commonly used in woodworking and metal grinding operations.

Portable Dust Collectors: These mobile units are flexible and can be moved to different locations within a facility, making them ideal for smaller operations or for use with multiple machines.

Advantages of Dust Collectors from Ventilair India Private Limited

Efficiency: High-efficiency filtration systems ensure that even the finest dust particles are captured.

Durability: Robust construction with high-quality materials ensures long service life and reliable performance.

What is an Injection Molding Machine? Get to know everything about it!

Injection molding is an important industrial technique. Although it is somewhat similar to die casting, but the raw material used in this case are different. Die casting uses metals that melt at extremely high temperatures, whereas injection molding mostly uses glasses, elastomers, and most frequently thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. Nevertheless, this process is commonly used to create thermoplastic materials. In this method, raw materials are heated to a certain temperature and then injected under pressure into the mould cavity without changing their composition.

What are the main parts of injection molding machine?

The material hopper, barrel, an injection ram/rotating screw type plunger, heating element (heater), adjustable pattern, ejectors, and a mould inside mould cavity are the key components of an injection molding machine.

Injection molding machines typically operate horizontally. A barrel is part of an injection molding machine (cylindrical pipe). At one end of the barrel, there is a hopper. Inside the barrel is a revolving screw or hydraulic ram powered by an electric motor that provides force. The barrel has a heating element (warmer) attached to it that is used to melt the molding compound when it exits the hopper.

Mold cavity linked to the barrel's opposite side. During the entire production process, a movable pattern is used and the mould is situated inside the mould cavity. Typically, copper, aluminum, and tool steels are used to make mould. Distinct types of material moulds have different life cycles. This can be chosen based on your needs.

How does the injection moulding machine works?

Extrusion and injection molding both function similarly, as implied by their names. Using a feeding apparatus, molding material and raw materials are poured into the hopper. Following that, the molding material falls into the cylinder (barrel) as depicted in the diagram due to gravity. The material is melted using a circumferential heater that is mounted on the barrel. When molding compound in powder form enters the barrel from the hopper, it begins to melt, and a revolving screw or hydraulic ram applies pressure to advance the compound into the mould.

In this split mould, which is attached to the other side of the barrel, molten plastic material is pumped into a closed mould. The revolving screw constantly advances the molding material. The hydraulic system exerts pressure. Normal injection pressure ranges from 100 to 150 MPa. Following injection, pressure is exerted for a while or held in place with some force.

The pieces produced when the entire procedure is complete are appropriately cooled. The mould is then opened, and a few ejectors are utilized to remove the part properly and damage-free. The portion mould is reopened after removal. This process is very fast and automatically repeated. Here, it is simple to make pieces with complex shapes. The injection molding process may produce 12–16,000 components every cycle.

The Procedure

-    The process parameter fluctuates based on the circumstances and demands. -    The components made with this method typically weigh between 100 and 500 g. -    A single part's cycle time ranges from 5 to 60 seconds, depending on how the item is made. -    The heating range for molding material is 150 to 350 degrees Celsius. -    The molding machine has an injection capacity of 12,000 to 2.2 106 mm3. -    100 to 150 MPa is the injection pressure. -    From 0.1 to 8.0 MN is the locking force.

What are the advantages of Injection molding machine?

-    The fundamental benefit of this method is that intricately shaped components with thin walls (5–15 mm) may be molded with ease and retrieved from the die without being harmed. -    Injection-molded components offer good dimensional tolerance. -    The main benefit of this method is that it produces far less scrap than certain other methods. -    Investment cast iron and intricately machined pieces compete with parts produced through the Injection Moulding Method. -    In comparison to other procedures, this process has a high production rate.

What are the various types of injection molding machines?

Following are the different types of injection molding machines. Have a look:

Hydraulic Injection Molding Machine

Hydraulic injection molding machine were the only types of machine at start. It is the oldest one in the industry. Following are the benefits of this machine-

1. Economical price These machines cost far less at the base level than comparable models.

2. Cheap parts If a machine component needs to be replaced because it has been damaged or has reached the end of its useful life, the replacement parts are less expensive and more readily available.

3. Robust components The machine's hydraulic components are longer-lasting and more resistant to deterioration.

4. Easy to use and maintain High-pressure clamping forces are typically simple to adjust on hydraulic injection devices.

5. Powerful The gripping force on hydraulic molding machines is outstanding.

Electric Injection Molding Machines

In the 1980s, electric injection molding machines were made available and soon gained popularity in the high precision plastic parts production sector. The positioning accuracy of today's full electric servo drive injection molding machines is exceptionally precise (of 0.0001 in), but at a very high cost.

1. Less idle time There is no possibility of oil leaking. Additionally, since no oil is used, there is no need to replace filters, which lowers consumable costs.

2. Efficiency while using energy Electric Injection Molding Machines only consume energy when they are in use, thus their output is limited to what is necessary to support the load.

3. Fast procedure Since these machines are digitally controlled, the procedure can be completely repeated without any oversight.

4. Highly reproducible The injection device can be accurately controlled, the molding conditions can be stabilized, the injection control (such as pressure and speed) can be regulated in fine units, and there is a highly accurate control and monitoring system. It can handle challenging tasks like multi-stage hydraulic system extension and control the extension.

Injection Molding Machine Price

There are various types of machines. The Injection Molding Machine Price will also vary according to the complexity of the machine.  Costs for large industrial injection molding equipment can range from $50,000 to $200,000 or more. Additionally, the facilities needed to operate, maintain, and monitor these equipment are more demanding and call for expert staff.
