Muldersplaining compact discs.

Actually, compact discs can contain upwards of 687 megabytes (that's a unit of data storage, like gallons) and aren't just used for music.

He's an absolute love and his best friend is mary puppins. they get up to all sorts of trouble together when mom isn't looking.

I swore I posted this hc somewhere but can't find it. In regards to moras Outer God / main non tes verse, being in planes that are not Apocrypha are more difficult for it. There is no compact, but Apocrypha is 'the realm between realms'. It is the seams between all, the remains of what was not meant to be much like how Mora is. When a manifestation of mora exits apocrypha, it begins to 'wither'. Slowly beginning to become undone- which is a big problem, because if that manifestation is completely undone before returning to apocrypha the knowledge and memories that make up that matter scatter. Requiring recollection of the physical aspects of it. Obviously size of manifestation matters how quickly this will happen. Can be as short as a day if a very small manifestation (think about the size of a fist), or months to years to even centuries at some of the largest.

However the most effective get around for this is vessels. Vessels act as protection for this- not infinite, however. Moras matter begins to eat away at the vessel and mutates it. As soon as the timer on the vessels matter ends, the manifestations begins.

Just photographed all the envelopes for all the patterns I have bought in the last few months. 188 new patterns.

Even if I didn't need more than that (medication, ID, money/cards, for a start), in what world do I have pockets that work to carry all those things. Am I supposed to just have my hands full all the time? Stick them in my bra? Get real weird looks in many public places when reaching into your cleavage for things. >.>

Humans have been carrying things in bags for a very long time and that's because it's more convenient for inhabiting a world we consistently use tools to interact with.

@ people who carry bags everywhere what do you put in them what is there to bring other than chapstick, keys, phone and maybe a tampon why are you packing a suitcase to be outside for 5 hours

How to Determine the Quality of Mobile Storage Compactors

Investing in mobile storage compactors can greatly enhance storage efficiency and organization, especially in industries with high-density storage needs. However, not all compactors are created equal. Ensuring that you select a high-quality mobile storage compactor is key to optimizing space, ensuring durability, and maintaining long-term cost-effectiveness. Here’s a guide on how to determine the quality of mobile storage compactors -

1. Material Quality

The durability and longevity of a mobile storage compactor largely depend on the materials used in its construction. High-quality steel, such as galvanized or powder-coated steel, is preferable because it offers strength, corrosion resistance, and a longer lifespan, even in environments where moisture or chemicals are present.

Tip - Inspect the compactor for its finish, ensuring that it is resistant to rust, scratches, and wear.

2. Load Capacity and Structural Integrity

Good-quality mobile storage compactors should have a high load-bearing capacity and a strong frame that can handle heavy items without compromising stability. Check the weight specifications and ensure the shelving units or racks can accommodate the type of items you plan to store.

Tip - Test the compactors’ load capacity and check for any signs of wobbling or instability when fully loaded.

3. Smooth and Reliable Movement Mechanism

The core functionality of mobile storage compactors is their mobility. Quality compactors should have an easy-to-operate movement mechanism, either manual or powered, that ensures smooth and effortless operation. Look for compactors with well-designed track systems that prevent misalignment and facilitate seamless movement, even when fully loaded.

Tip - Test the operation of the unit and ensure the wheels and tracks glide smoothly with minimal effort.

4. Safety Features

Safety is crucial when operating mobile storage compactors, especially in workplaces with high foot traffic. High-quality compactors are equipped with safety features like anti-tilt mechanisms, brakes to secure the unit in place, and locks to prevent unauthorized access or accidental movement.

Tip - Look for compactors with built-in safety locks and ensure that there is a mechanism to prevent the unit from tipping over.

5. Customizability and Design Flexibility

A good mobile storage compactor should be customizable to fit your specific storage needs. Whether it’s adjustable shelves, modular designs, or specialized storage compartments, flexibility in design is a hallmark of a high-quality product.

Tip - Check if the unit can be adjusted or reconfigured according to future needs, allowing for scalability in storage solutions.

6. Space Utilization and Capacity Optimization

The purpose of mobile storage compactors is to maximize available space. High-quality compactors should allow for dense storage without wasting space. Units should slide or collapse in such a way that they reduce the amount of unused aisle space when not in use.

Tip - Measure the space optimization provided by the compactor compared to traditional shelving systems. The compactor should create significant space-saving benefits.

7. Brand Reputation and Warranty

Reputable brands with a history of delivering quality storage solutions often provide warranties that reflect their confidence in their products. Checking the manufacturer’s reputation, customer reviews, and warranty terms can give insights into the product’s expected lifespan and performance.

Tip - Choose manufacturers with a solid track record and comprehensive warranties that cover essential components like the movement mechanism, shelving units, and structure.

8. Maintenance Requirements

Ease of maintenance is another indicator of a good mobile storage compactor. High-quality systems should require minimal upkeep, with easy access to critical parts like wheels, tracks, and locking mechanisms for cleaning or servicing.

Tip - Ask the manufacturer about routine maintenance schedules and spare part availability, ensuring the system will remain functional with minimal downtime.

9. Compliance with Industry Standards

A quality mobile storage compactor should meet all relevant safety and manufacturing standards, including ISO certifications or industry-specific guidelines for storage systems. This ensures that the compactor has been rigorously tested for quality, safety, and performance.

Tip - Verify that the compactor complies with applicable standards and regulations in your industry.

Determining the quality of a mobile storage compactor involves assessing its material construction, functionality, safety features, and overall durability. By thoroughly evaluating these factors, you can Trust on Vishal Steel Products and invest in a high-quality compactor that meets your storage needs, optimizes space, and stands the test of time.

THE SIMS 3 STORE PRE-INSTALLED

Today marks 25 years of The Sims. Since EA forgot TS3 exists, I’m releasing the entire The Sims 3 Store as an Anniversary Gift. It's all pre-installed and works flawlessly!

It comes with all available fixes and collection folders I’ve personally created for every set. You'll get over 5000 new Buy/Build and CAS items, 11 new worlds, and tons of new gameplay!

INSTRUCTIONS

Go to "Documents/Electronic Arts" and rename the "The Sims 3" folder (or move it).

Create a new folder and name it "The Sims 3" (or whatever the name is in your language).

Extract the contents of the ZIP file in "The Sims 3." Now launch the game.

You'll have to adjust your setting again. Don't forget to disable the in-game Store so you don't get duplicates.

Quit the game. Copy the "Saves" folder from the folder you have previously renamed. You can also copy your Mods and CC in package format.

CAUTION

Never copy over or overwrite the DCCache folder.

If you have content installed through the Launcher (Sims3Pack), you'll have to reinstall it.

I strongly recommend you don't install things through the Launcher from now. It already has a lot of content and it is a known fact the Launcher becomes more and more unstable the more content it has to handle.

Since the entire Store has been decrapified, if you want to install lots or world that contain Store content, you'll have to decrapify those too using MATY's TS3 Recompressor.

I had a report that there was an invisible top in CAS. It doesn't seem to have a CASP resource so it shouldn't cause any issues (like being assigned to a random Sim). It's best to avoid it or hide it or blacklist it using NRaas mods. Do NOT try to save the game while your Sim is "wearing" this invisible top.

UPDATE #1: MARCH 2025

Added some missing content: the Mother Russia CAS Set and the Cool Chap Cap that was given as a secret bonus item in the "Make Me an Offer" page. If there's something else missing, please let me now.

Now NRaas MasterController and the Cheats and Integration modules are included in the pack. This version NRaas MC comes with CAS Compact Mode enabled by default. This should fix the issue of blank/invisible CAS items and also speed up the loading of CAS items. Keep in mind, these mods aren't compatible with Lazy Duchess' Smooth Path, but you can have both. Her mod will automatically disable the fast loading of CAS items.

If you encounter any issues, feel free to reach out to me. I've put a lot of effort into making the installation process as smooth and straightforward as possible. Dag Dag!
