One of the only times I bothered to make something digital. I work exclusively on a phone so it's a pain in the everything arm related. This is my second Rainworld OC (the first being Kipper, a Rivulet based Scug). I adore this goof and now you can as well. Also, that lore is *slightly* outdated cuz world building is going well. Don't disregard it though because if you care, you'll remember this for later. :>

Blondes Have More Fun

Notes app idea: "Dewdrop, Cumulus and Sunshine as the biggest troublemakers at the Abbey, and also the worst drain-cloggers. Swiss calls them the dumb blonde brigade one day, and they cock-block him for week."

Chapter 1/2 wc: 1491/? Rating: M (eventually)

Read below or on AO3!

Without any exaggeration, they were menaces. To everyone in the Abbey, ghoul or otherwise, Dewdrop, Cumulus and Sunshine were the closest things to demons raised from the pits that they were supposed to be. Not evil by any means, but the trio of ghouls still took pleasure in making the lives of everyone around them just a little bit less convenient every day.

Dewdrop was summoned first, a well-mannered water ghoul albeit with an independent streak a mile wide. He hadn’t caused any problems until his elemental transition, but the Dewdrop of before and after was like day to night. Gone was the little ghoul, who gently teased his packmates and ended every conflict with a hug, and here to stay was an infernal fiend with the desire to make the Ministry pay for all the pain they had caused him and his pack. He had started off strong, “testing” his new elemental abilities by melting through the water pipes directly above Imperator’s office, and setting fire to a closet of antique vestments.

Cumulus was summoned next, alongside her Mate, Cirrus. While both ghoulettes had quickly established themselves as sociable and friendly presences amongst their packmates, Cumulus was far less concerned with ensuring order in the den and far more interested in enjoying every second of her time topside. Unlike Dewdrop, Cumulus was well-liked by the Siblings of Sin. This was mostly due to her incredible light-fingeredness, and subsequent generosity, when it came to the Abbey’s liquor supply. She had quicky formed a close bond with Dewdrop, the pair ensuring their packmates stayed on their toes.

Sunshine was also quick to embrace their mischief-making. She arrived in a burning flash of light, and her presence continued to be as dazzling ever since, bringing an unbridled joy for life to the pack not seen since before the banishings. Immediately latching on to Cumulus and Dewdrop, the pair took upon themselves to unlock the full potential of their new protégé.

The little trio of ghouls had made it their goal to sow chaos throughout the Abbey by any means necessary. Much of the time this was as simple as trying to spook new Siblings from dark recesses within the cloisters, eyes glowing menacingly from inside black robes. They had branched out into more elaborate pranks however as their positions became more secure after Copia’s first, hugely successful, tour as Papa Emeritus IV.

Leaping out from dark corners had turned into staging hunts of Siblings through the grounds, causing senior clergy to tear their hair out in frustration as they struggled to identify the culprit behind the latest terrified wreck of a Sibling. Aether had obviously suspected them, and had tried having stern words about filling the infirmary with unnecessarily scared humans, but to no avail.

When it came to their Papa, they could have gotten away with actual murder if they wanted, one of them only had to bat their eyelashes to achieve forgiveness. Dewdrop had delivered a perfect masterclass in this after Copia tried to reprimand him for switching the goats blood and red wine for Black Mass. He had ended up with a larger recreation budget for the pack, and an apology for not better understanding the emotional needs of his ghouls.

But mostly, the three ghouls liked to prank their own packmates. They had started with an easy target: Rain and his quasi-religious beauty routine. The triple-threat of kool-aid in his shower head, switching his lotion with mayonnaise, and putting popping candy in his exfoliant had landed them a stern talking to from Mountain while the irate, pink-tinged water ghoul had glowered at them, his mayonnaise-scented tail lashing angrily behind him.

After they got yelled at by an exasperated Cirrus for once again clogging the plumbing in the ghoul wing (“It’s got to be one of you three, I’ve been scraping blond hairs out of the pipes all morning!”) following a long morning – and afternoon – of plotting in the giant shared bathing pool, they had switched Cirrus’s boots for an old pair of Sunny’s, the size difference just enough to cause her some mild discomfort and ensure she moved at half-speed all day and hampering her usual military efficiency.

The final straw for Swiss came one day after a whole evening of extra cleaning duty due to someone rubbing soap along one of the corridor floors, causing a five-sibling pileup. He returned to the den to settle down for the night and watch a nature documentary with Phantom, one of their favourite little routines.

“Which one do you want tonight Starburst?” he asked, crawling into the pile of blankets Phantom had arranged on the bed.

“Can we watch one on Eevees?” Phantom asked, gesturing to the cartoon creatures emblazoned on one of the blankets in the heap.

“You mean the Pokémon?” Swiss asked cautiously.

“Yeah, Rain was telling me all about how the different types evolved, how they all have different elements like us!”, Phantom looked up at Swiss, wide violet eyes gleaming with interest.

“Bug, I’m not sure there’s a documentary on them, seeing as they’re not real…”

Phantom sat up straight, turning their whole body to look at Swiss in horror. “What do you mean, not real? The others said…” they trailed off, looking at Swiss like he’d kicked a puppy. Swiss could see the hurt flashing behind their violet eyes, and shook his head gently. Phantom was well known to be the most gullible ghoul in the pack, probably in the Abbey, and Swiss knew how insecure they were about it.

“They did?” Swiss growled. “I’ll be right back Buggy, just going to get us some snacks.”

Swiss stormed off to the den where he was sure he would find the reason(s) for this latest miscommunication. He threw open the door, and found his three main suspects lolling across a sofa, all as high as kites.

“Heey Swissy, come to join us?” slurred Cumulus, almost falling off of the sofa as she waved too enthusiastically at him.

“Yeah, we’ve set Mount’s phone to correct “ok” to “yes Daddy” and he’s trying to text Copia in the group chat!” giggled Dew, his bloodshot eyes full of tears of laughter at their latest escapade.

Swiss was not in the mood.

“Which one of you fuckers told Phantom Pokémon were real?” he snarled, “It sure as hell wasn’t Rain, and you three are all perfectly aware that they’ll still believe anything you tell them, like that time you told them hot dogs were made of real dogs, or that time you said birds weren’t real, or–”

“Ooo who told them they weren’t?” interrupted Sunshine with a slight hiccup, before Swiss rounded his fiery gaze on her.

“I just did. And now they’re upset and embarrassed again, and it’s all you fault!”

He stomped over to the kitchenette, and wrenched open the door of the snack cupboard. At least he could bring Phantom some of their favourite m&m cookies.

And of course, they were gone. There on the coffee table, along with the remains of the rest of the trio’s haul, was the empty packaging.

“Oh for–” Swiss was close to tearing his hair out in frustration. Trying to argue with these three when they were stoned was like debating a brick wall. “Look, I don’t care if you think this funny, the rest of the pack and the whole Abbey is getting pretty fed up with the Dumb Blonde Brigade. You’ll get yourselves shipped off to the pits if you keep acting like this!”

“What did you call us?!” Dew hissed, stumbling blearily to his feet, “The Dumb Blonde Brigade?”

Swiss folded his arms in front of his chest, as Dew lurched towards him, pulling himself up to his full height, eyes just about level with Swiss’s chin.

“Yes, big guy?” Swiss smirked down at him. Dew crossed his arms, matching Swiss’s stance, and puffed out his chest.

“You’re gonna regret calling us that.” Dew informed him, raising his chin defiantly. Swiss watched his bloodshot eyes drift in and out of focus.

“You tell him, baby!” Cumulus hollered from the couch, before falling back against Sunshine in another fit of giggles.

“Sure I’ll regret it. Probably not as much as you’ll regret stealing Mount’s good stash when he catches you though.”

Swiss turned on his heel and stalked out of the den before waiting for a reply, the jeering of the other three ghouls following him down the corridor.

He re-entered his room, plastered a smile onto his face, and focused on taking deep breaths to calm down so the anger rolling off him in waves didn’t upset Phantom’s delicate Quintessence senses.

“Sorry Bug, we’re all out of cookies. I swiped us this though?” Swiss brandished a pre-roll he’d pilfered from under the noses of the others. “What say we find an episode about one of Rain’s fucked-up underwater cousins and smoke this ‘til the walls start breathing?"

How Do I Unclog This Sink?!

Living in a home with three women and two children almost guarantees that we will have a clogged sink on occasion. From earrings to small toys and curly thick hair; you never know what the cause will be.

This article is going to spell out what exactly you can do to solve a clogged sink by yourself without calling in those pricey professionals. My first step is inspecting what may be causing the clog.

Can I fish it out with a fork? If the answer is no, then I move on to my next tool. Can I fish it out with a wire hanger that I’ve straightened out? Ok, that isn’t working either. On to more “professional” means.

#1: Use Chemicals

After the inspection (and ruined flatware and hanger), my second go-to is often to buy some chemicals to pour down the drain. I’ll try out the store brand version of a sink de-clogger.

I follow the directions on the back of the bottle and cross my fingers. If that fails, I move on to the name brand, usually Drano Max Gel. If that fails, I move on to the gross but effective…

#2: Try Drain Snakes

If my flatware, a wire hanger, and TWO bottles of chemical de-clogger still don’t work, then I have to get dirty. I will then purchase a drain snake. These are found in the plumbing section of your grocery store.

They are long, jagged, and plastic and can be highly effective. These will grab on to any hair that is stuck inside of your drain, but they are disgusting. I recommend buying gloves along with the snake.

Once you pull the snake out of the drain, you have to also clean it off and most people can’t handle that without gagging. If this STILL doesn’t work then you’ll need to…

#3: Break Out the Checkbook

If for some reason, none of these home remedies work then it is time to call your plumber.

They will likely have to completely disassemble the pipes under your sink to take out whatever monstrosity that is clogging your drain and I wish your bank account, “Good luck”.

PROBLEMS WITH RENTAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE THAT YOU MAY EXPERIENCE IN OHIO

A renter calling after hours is rarely a good thing. If your phone rings after dark, there's most likely a problem with your rental property's maintenance.

So, what should you expect when you get that call? Are you ready for it? As a landlord, here are the most typical maintenance issues you'll face and what to do about them.

1. Dripping Faucets

In the Ohio area, plumbing is the most common maintenance issue. When it comes to water issues, you always respond the same way. Turn off the water first. Then contact a professional who can arrive shortly. If you can halt the water flow until they address the problem, you'll avoid severe water damage to your floors and cabinetry.

2. Clogs in the drain

A clogged drain is a straightforward problem to solve. So, try Draino or a similar liquid de-clogger first. If that doesn't work, you can either hire a plumber or unclog the drain with a toilet auger - but be cautious. Older pipes will be more challenging to repair. If you do it incorrectly, you can break through the toilet or the wall, causing a much worse problem.

3. Repairing Toilets

If you don't discover a running toilet in time, it might cause a significant increase in your water cost. So, if you hear running water coming from your bathroom, have the insides replaced.

Call someone right away if it's leaking or you see discolouration around the base. A leaking toilet will quickly ruin your flooring and sub-flooring.

4. Repairs to the HVAC system

In the thick of a Texas summer, a malfunctioning air conditioner is a nightmare waiting to happen. If your HVAC system begins to malfunction, contact a professional right once. They can usually come to check on your equipment and troubleshoot the problem the same day.

Also, consider signing up for a maintenance plan with an HVAC firm so that your equipment is serviced regularly. When things go wrong, you'll hopefully escape a pricey surprise.

5. Repairing Sprinklers

Another issue that increases your water cost is a broken sprinkler. So, turn off the sprinklers until you can figure out what's wrong. After that, you may either replace the sprinkler head yourself or get someone to do it for you.

6. Repairing Garage Doors

A broken garage door can be aggravating. When you return home, especially in inclement weather, you want to be able to draw your car into the garage predictably. So, if your parking door begins to crash, contact an electrician or a handyperson to diagnose the problem.

7. Repairing Fences

Although a broken fence isn't an emergency, it is a reasonably straightforward problem to fix. Consider replacing a board on your wooden wall yourself. Otherwise, contact a local fence company or a handyperson to restore your barrier to its original condition.

8. Repairing Kitchen Appliances

Start with your warranty if an appliance breaks down. If it isn't covered, look for an appliance repair business that specialises in your model.

9. Heater for Hot Water

Your tenants, like you, don't want to take a cold shower. If your water heater breaks down, contact a plumber for assistance. They're used to folks needing repairs right away, so someone should be able to come out the same day.

10. Blinds

Please keep track of what you bought and where you bought it when you buy blinds for your rental home. Then, if the blinds become stuck or break, replace them with a matching pair.

11. Closet Doors That Slid

Regularly, doors on tracks become stuck. When this happens, investigate the issue to determine whether it's something that WD-40 can help with. If the problem isn't apparent, get a handyperson to get it back up and running.

The All-In-One Solution

There's just one surefire method to fix all of these issues: hire property maintenance services to handle them for you. They will then receive the call and will be able to resolve the issue. A good property manager knows when to call a pro and how to get your property back in functioning as soon as feasible.

Burdened and Liberated

Heheh, Pipe Clogger.

[the-orangeauthor]

I found a post on pinterest where people wanted to try mixing bleach with urine or something light that to make a yellow light or whatever and I begged them all not to, so I think its only fair to beg you all too.

By mixing bleach and vinegar/other cleaning products, you are risking your life. If your drain clogger didnt work, boil a kettle of hot water or turn on the hot water tap to help run it through. When you're cleaning your toilet and use bleach, dont add anything else until youve flushed it at least twice (or vis versa).

Even if its just a small amount, you will risk seriously damaging your insides and a few clean pipes are really not worth that risk. Stay safe!

This whole “trust Tumblr blindly” thing is eventually going to kill someone, as I became pointedly aware of on one occasion I was making fun of how poorly a particular bleach-based drain declogger was working on my sink and got a chorus of really dangerously misinformed people telling me to pour vinegar in after it because all cute little cool kid diy home care blogs they’re following talk about vinegar like it it’s the big secret the cleaning companies don’t want you to know.

And I cringed knowing that someday, some Well Actually expert who read a blog article once is going to give that advice to someone who unfortunately didn’t take high school chemistry and isn’t aware that MIXING VINEGAR AND BLEACH MAKES CHLORINE GAS.

Where are they now?

Pinocchio: The little wooden boy from the Shrek films went through a series of entry level jobs, all using his nose in some unusual way. He has been a perch for exotic birds, a pipe un-clogger, a coat rack, a curtain rod, and, most recent, a shish kebab stick! -Stupid

Memeories

The day had been dark with storms that entire week when Knock Out met him, when he almost, the young mech swore, came searching for him. He had been outside one of the many colleges despite none of the public speaking classes being in session thanks to the burning rain. He didn’t know why he risked coming the days he could manage the trip, he never heard a single word, never comprehended a single stance but he did…. feel something from the young mechs who spoke...something he liked. And being young and defiant the students never thought to tease or kick him out. They wanted a mech like him to listen to them after all, the weary and downtrodden to trust them. Where their lives were headed they would need that sort of advantage. They likely wouldn’t have felt that way if they knew just how broken of a mech he was but Knock Out had long ago learned to play face and pretend. He didn’t need to hear or understand, he could tell who a mech was by their spark alone.

That was why when Conduit first approached him while he was under the student acropolis Knock Out ran. The mech had been nice enough. He had moved slowly, and held his gaze with the most caring optics, as if he had seen millions like Knock Out and had been sent by Primus himself to be their savior. The spark of fear that ran through Knock Out when he caught the larger mech’s optics on him was all he needed though. There was something wrong with him. He didn’t belong. Not in the city, not in the world. His signature fizzled fritzed around him, sharp zig-zags of something…….dark. So despite the pain in his weak cables and engine Knock Out ran for his life away from the mech faster than he had ever ran from any mech.

When the looming mech found him again though, in the safe, well hidden, “home” he had made for himself in an abandoned textile shop, he had nowhere to run.

Knock Out had just settled down on his soft nest of half burnt fabrics, just let his spark settle as the stray spine fox he kept for company and protection sat and nestled in his lap, offering him a large dripping pipe clogger to suck dry. Just felt safe again when the stranger found him.

Knock Out took the fat amphibian and sunk his dull fangs into the creature and felt the tang of energon on his glossia. Pipe cloggers were always his favorite. They were always so fat and bloated with energon and usually with good enough stuff that he only needed one or two a week to keep him going when times were at their worst. Which they usually were. The creatures generosity certainly made up for the burrowing drill ticks the spine fox had given him. Drained of its fuel Knock Out tossed the corpse back to the animal and pet the beast as it devoured the creature in a few bites. Excess scraps of metal littered his lap but Knock Out brushed them away despite it. Aimlessly he pet the warm creature, enjoying the sparks of electricity that traveled along its back as it digested its meal. The spine fox returned the gesture kneading the exposed cables and wires of Knock Out’s thighs with its strangely dexterous claws.

The animal wasn’t even alarmed when Conduit suddenly emerged from the shadows of the building. Knock Out didn’t even see him until he was too close. He came like a wisp as if he followed and moved through the dark itself.

Conduit dropped into a careful bow as stood in front of Knock Out. Even as moved and spoke the spine fox in Knock Out’s lap stayed still and calm as if nothing was even there. Knock Out shivered and felt his spark go thorny as the strangers lavender optics settled on him. Like the students at the school, his words went unheard but Knock Out still felt them. They felt cold and dirty but there was something…..mystifying about them.

Conduit looked at Knock Out, looked at the sick dying mech and his glossed over optics and quickly realized that his sermon had fallen on deaf audials. This young one was so broken, so sunken thanks to the foulness that life had grown to become that they were barely functioning. Yet….the darkness had spoken so clearly when Conduit had spotted the new mold. The darkness knew best. It never led him astray.

Conduit’s words were the first Knock Out ever heard in his life. Not felt like he was used to but actually heard. Dark and booming, soft and dismal, pulling and enticing, they filled his processor. They sounded like nothing, like static, garbled and still meaningless but still somehow Knock Out understood the mech. 

Conduit was charming, caring. He sat cross-legged on the soot-stained floor and pulled out two cubes of weak high grade as if he were in the comfort of a warm suite. He nipped into and sipped at both before handing one off to Knock Out.

Knock Out didn’t want it. He knew better, but still, he found his servo reaching for the cube, found the sweet heavily spiced fuel washing out the poor rot tinged taste that he had only moments ago found so comforting.

“Follow me to Kaon”, he said “And for your troubles and pain the darkness and I will award you everything you will ever need. You will astound. That I’m sure.” Knock Out knew he would never make the trip, he couldn’t transform, couldn’t leave even if he wanted to. He shook his head but Conduit refused his refusal.

“We’ll go by rail till you’re well, you have nothing to fear.” Fear. Conduit went on and on about fear, how he shouldn’t be afraid of his destiny on the darkest road, even after Knock Out agreed to go with him. It made no sense. He had no destiny, he was trash.

Town after town Conduit dragged him, made him full and dazed with mulled church fuel, cushioned him on piles of broken pallets and the softest scraps he could find as he begged Knock Out and other mechs to listen to his sermons in dark hidden places. Perhaps not begged, Conduit was never desperate and mechs always came, always followed the words. The words, the spark of Conduit’s message slowly burned into his own being. There was safety in the dark if one knew how to traverse it if one truly trusted in it. The darkest road served and gifted those who dared to follow it  At least that was what Conduit preached. Some believed, some didn’t but Knock Out didn’t have a choice. Far from “home”, he couldn’t get off the road now, he couldn’t turn back.         

When they reached Kaon Knock Out couldn’t help but notice a...muchness to Conduit’s field. He was happy to be home...or at least the place Conduit called home at the moment. He was excited about something Knock Out couldn’t guess, stopping every few moments to hold the smaller mech still and remind him of how proud he was. Proud? Why? Knock Out hadn’t done a single thing but leech off the missionary's insanity and charitable nature. He hadn’t done anything.

Conduit took the sick mech to his church, a small dingy back alley thing but inside it was beautiful to behold. Covered in crystals and colored glass windows, filled with detailed statues of amethyst and onyx and moonstone. Surrounded by plush worn circular pews. Conduit settled him and told him to wait there. Knock Out did as he was told. There was no way he was going to go wandering around Kaon’s streets after all. He didn’t have a death wish...anymore. By night the pews filled with mechs, not a single empty space to be had by the time Conduit returned. Hulking mechs, gladiators, forge workers, miners, recallers, reclaimers. Dark weary faces, stained and scarred, all whispering amicably. It was strange to see them like this, Knock Out only ever saw frames like them on work posters or seedy ads for night houses. He didn’t know they could be so calm.

When Conduit’s sermon started, there was more fire in it, more spark now that he had his congregation cheering him on but it was the same as any other. The dark road, the destiny, being brave and standing strong against those that chose to use the light against them. Equality by any means. Survival by any means. Faith and hope. Action and shows of devotion. The heavyweights cheered louder the longer the night went on. Exalting and calling to their multiple deities, praying and begging for safety and grace. Knock Out had seen nothing like it in the faithless streets. Even in the rich temples of his old city the mecs only came to visit and admire, never worship.

As the night came to a close though, the mood shifted, the air changed. Conduit smiled at him more, beckoning him up to be with him. Knock Out didn’t know what to do, this hadn’t happened before. Thinking him too weary Conduit came over and helped him to the front, standing him and positioning him before going on with his show.  The congregation looked at him, pity in their optics. What a poor thing, their lives may be miserable and hard but at least they functioned, at least they had a place.

Knock Out felt fear and anger well in his spark, he knew what he was, he knew he was trash, but that didn’t mean he would stand and be seen as such! He wasn’t going to stand and let others judge him! Conduit quickly returned with whatever he had left to get. He spoke again and held a spine fox aloft. A nice one too, something that hadn’t come from the streets but some rich petshop. It squirmed and nipped at Conduit’s digits but it did little. Conduit snapped it’s neck and plunged a sharp dagger deep into its chest.

Fear gripped at Knock Out’s spark now. What had he done? Who had he followed? Knock Out couldn’t care about what other mechs did to get holy figments attention but what did he have to do with any of it?! He wanted to run but as soon as Conduit’s gaze landed on him again he was trapped. His frame felt heavier and weary than it had ever felt in his life. He felt like he was dying at that moment. So he stayed.

The fox’s fuel went to the ground, Conduit encircled him with sigils and wards. Spells. Knock Out would have laughed if he could; if he wasn’t so terrified. His fear only grew from there, Conduit started preaching again, the mechs in the pews echoing his words till fire started to bloom around him. As it did Conduit threw bits of the animal into the strange blaze, other bits that he had in bowls and colorful salts he had in buckets. Knock Out could only watch in horror. His peds wouldn’t move, his processor too taxed to think right. The fire grew and closed in, Knock Out could feel its burning heat.. It was real. It was so real. He couldn’t even scream as everything faded to black around him.

Pain raced through his circuits, anger through his spark. HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER! There were no kind mechs in this world! THERE WAS NOTHING FOR HIM IN THIS WORLD! Everything soon went numb as his systems started to overload. He didn’t want to die, he didn’t want to live either but like hell if he wanted to just end up…..nothing. He was tired of being nothing! He was tired of being NOTHING!

Heavy servos on his shoulders pulled Knock Out from his hell, Knock Out raked his claws across the lunatic preacher wherever he could. He felt sick and angry as feeling returned to him. Not just feeling though….suddenly he was surrounded by…..noise. It hurt.  Everything hurt. Not just the noise but EVERYTHING. It was too much. Everything was too much!

“WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!” Knock Out shoved Conduit off before sinking to the floor. W-what was that? Was that him? Did he say that? That had been what he wanted to say to the mech but...he couldn’t. He couldn’t do anything.

The heavy servos quickly returned and with them a soothing peace. The world dulled around Knock Out as Conduit comforted him. “Stand for me young one, show off the gift the dark ones have given you.” It wasn’t a demand but it could have been taken as one. Conduit’s voice was as deep and gravely as it had been in his head. An honest mech. Conduit didn’t need any tricks. He had faith. How odd.

So he stood with shaky peds and let the strange mechs cheer and revere Conduit for his miracle. With a little fuel and some pretty words and the preacher managed to heal a deaf, mute. Nothing a good surgeon couldn’t do but it was impressive. What Conduit had done for him didn’t really sink in for Knock Out till later.

Conduit had taken him upstairs where the preacher lived and had sat the mech down with some warm fuel. Knock Out was surprised the mech was still being nice even after his display but now he was waiting for the dark faith healer to start talking about payment. When he settled heavily down next to him with his own cube in servo Knock Out rolled his optics. Here we go.

“You seem so somber young one. Are you not happy with the gift the dark ones have given to you?”

Knock Out didn’t know how to respond now that he could. The words were still jumbled in his processor, their meanings still unsure. That had been more of a miracle to Knock Out. How had the preacher’s magic reached that far as to install data files?

“Now I can hear them.”

“Yes you can. Why’s that bad.”

“They’ll still yell at me. Still hurt me. I’ll make it worse. Forget.”

“Who’s going to hurt you? No one’s going to hurt you anymore….at least not like they used to. Look at yourself.”

“What?” Was Conduit stupid? Just because he could hear and talk didn’t mean he was any better off! He was still trash! Still sick and deformed and broken!

“Young one look at yourself.” Conduit dragged Knock Out up and a million sensations flooded his processor. It made him sick to be touched, screamed at, anything. This was going to be a curse not a gift! “LOOK! Is this not what you wanted? The exalted always know what a mech wants.” Knock Out couldn’t pull his optics from the grungy mirror. H-he was beautiful. Perfect. New. He let his optics dart to every part of his frame, tested every wire and gear till his processor swirled from the inputs. He….functioned. The pain he had been lingering in wasn’t coming from his failing frame or rotting metal it was just pain. Pain that would fade away. He hadn’t even bothered to notice before. Still too angry and overwhelmed but now he was floored. What had Conduit done? Why?

“Look at you. Sleek. Smart. Beautiful. Now all you need is time. In time you’ll learn and in between that time you’ll bring them in. Make them believe. Welcome to the dark road my young one. Follow close and I’ll never lead you astray.”

Got Plumbing Problems? Use These Easy Tips!

Plumbing problems? You're not alone. Despite how simple it is to solve most plumbing problems, many people do not know how to fix their own simple plumbing issues. If you're one of these people and would like to avoid paying for the service, read on to find out how to become a plumbing expert!

If the water pressure on your street exceeds 60 pounds, you many want to consider installing a pressure reducing valve. Too much water pressure is actually harmful to your plumbing system and could cause excess water pressure. A pressure reducing valve cuts down your water pressure by almost 50 percent.

Sometimes in the case of minor and or major emergencies we all have to become Mr. Fix it ourselves. If you've got blockage in your drains the first step is to try a commercial de-clogger like Drano. Simply pour it down the drain, wait ten minutes, and presto, your drain should be clear.

If you call a plumber to your home to fix a problem, inform the plumber of any chemicals or drain openers that you have added to the drain. This gives the plumber the opportunity to prepare for chemical exposure in the event that he or she comes into contact with water from inside the pipes.

To avoid hair from accumulating and clogging pipes. Use fine mesh strainers in every drain where hair is washed. Fine mesh strainers can catch the hair and still allow the shower, tub or sink to drain and are also useful in the kitchen to catch and stop small food debris from going down the drain.

If you are starting a plumbing project due to have discolored water, especially black, be sure to have your water tested first instead. There could be a mineral build up in your pipes or the source of the problem could be further down the line than you can reach. Most importantly you want to be sure your water is safe for drinking.

Once or twice a year, drain a few inches of water from your water heater using the valve located at the bottom. The water may be rusty-looking or brown, which is the point of this practice; sediment settles to the bottom of the tank and rests there. Flushing some of this sediment from the tank can extend the lifespan of your hot water heater.

A great time to check your plumbing shut-off valves on sinks and toilets is when you turn off the main valve before leaving your home for an extended period of time. You can check to make sure they're all functioning well and none of them are leaking, saving you from problems when you return.

Avoid the bursting of pipes due to the change in the temperature. You need to allow the flow of heat to reach under the sinks and into the pipes, you have to keep the cabinet doors of the bathrooms and kitchens open. It is important to keep water running at both hot and cold faucets along with vanities that are in close proximity to exterior walls.

Plumbing problems aren't so tough to deal with when you have knowledge of how to fix basic plumbing problems. Next time you're thinking of calling an expensive plumber, pull up this article instead and see if you can fix the problem yourself with the tips you've read here today.

Here's a list of 10 Fictional Foods We’d Love To Try! There's plenty of made-up foods in TV and Movies so join us as we count down the top 10 made up movie foods we'd like to try! ➡️ Subscribe to BabbleTop: https://bit.ly/2Uu3HPe We have some really delicious foods in real life. We have toast and the Big Mac and Skittles and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. But in movies and TV shows and cartoons and books, fictional foods have been created and depicted and described in such a way that we want to try them. When we see our favorite characters like Homer Simpson and Scooby Doo eating something we can’t have, it makes us want it more than ever. Here are 10 fictional foods that we would love to be able to try in real life. If you enjoyed this list of the 10 fictional foods we'd love to try, then comment: #Food #Movies #TV TIMESTAMPS: 0:35 Nuts ‘N Stuf - Parks and Rec 1:48 Teriyaki Donut - Jackie Brown 2:58 The Clogger - The Simpsons Krusty Burger 3:57 Soylent Green 5:17 Krabby Patty - SpongeBob SquarePants Krusty Krab 6:20 Chef’s Chocolate Salty Balls - South Park 7:23 The Heart Stopper - Grand Theft Auto IV 8:35 Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans - Harry Potter 10:06 Scooby Snacks - Scooby Doo 11:23 The Wonka Bar - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory SUMMARIES: - Leslie Knope from Parks and Rec can’t seem to win in her battle against Sweetums. It’s the company that’s making America obese – even their water has 300 calories per serving – and yet no one seems to bat an eye except for her. - Quentin Tarantino is famous for creating fictional brands to appear in his movies. This is partly because he hates the corporate sell-out aspect of product placement and partly because he wants his movies to exist entirely in a universe of their own. - The Clogger is a sandwich sold at Krusty Burger, named in reference to the fact that it will clog up your arteries due to all the saturated fat content. It sounds awfully dangerous for your arteries, but it does sound appetizing. - Yes, yes, we know it’s people. But millions of people didn’t know that it was people and they were perfectly happy to keep consuming it. The setup of an overly industrialized world in 2022 (which was a long time away when the movie was made but isn’t that far away now) is eerily close to reality. - When SpongeBob SquarePants made a Krabby Patty for King Neptune in an early episode of the series (a different version of King Neptune than the balding one Jeffrey Tambor would play when the show got a movie spin-off), the aquatic ruler enjoyed it so much that he threw it back up just so he could eat it again. - This is not just a fictional food – it is also a song. It was recorded for the South Park episode that introduced Chef’s signature dish, but it was also released as a single. In the song, Chef implores you to suck on his Chocolate Salty Balls. - The Heart Stopper is available at all Burger Shot locations in Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV. While its name is intended as a satirical jab at the fast food industry and the restaurant it’s served in has a crude pun for a name, the burger itself would be interesting to try. - Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans are one of the most popular candies in Harry Potter’s world of wizards and witches. We can’t possibly hope to understand the appeal of some of these flavors in our white bread muggle world, but in the wizarding world, they are something special. - These must be some good cookies. There’s no way that Shaggy and Scooby would let a crunchy snack distract them from their impending death by mummy attack or ghostly possession if it wasn’t a really, really delicious treat. - Remember how gloopy and rich that melted chocolate in the lake at Wonka’s factory looked before Augustus Gloop did exactly what we all would have done and collapsed into it to start slurping up as much as he could and then got stuck in a pipe and almost died? Yeah, well, imagine that chocolate set into a mold and made into a candy bar.

Toilet Of The Week (15)

Toilet Of The Week (15)

Well, that’s a relief. The Sheboygan serial toilet clogger has been caught.

Since April 2017 the women’s carsey in the Deland Community Centre in the Wisconsin town of Sheboygan has been routinely blocked by someone ramming a 20-ounce soft drink bottle into the pipes. The only way to remove the bottle was for the Public Works Department to remove the toilet to get to the piping below, causing…
