What you can expect from a more expensive press brake in 2024
The difference between an inexpensive press brake and a more expensive one can be significant, impacting various aspects of performance, quality, and capabilities. Here are some key factors that differentiate them:
Build Quality and Durability: More expensive press brakes are typically built with higher quality materials and construction methods. This leads to better durability and a longer lifespan. Inexpensive models may use less robust materials and construction, potentially leading to more wear and tear and a shorter operational life.
Precision and Accuracy: Higher-end press brakes generally offer greater precision and accuracy. They are equipped with advanced control systems and high-quality components that ensure consistent bending angles and dimensions. Inexpensive models may have less precise control systems and lower quality components, which can result in greater variability in output.
Control Systems and Software: Expensive press brakes often come with more sophisticated control systems and software. These can include features like touch screen interfaces, more comprehensive programming capabilities, and better integration with CAD/CAM systems. Inexpensive models may have more basic control systems with limited features and less user-friendly interfaces.
Capacity and Versatility: More expensive press brakes typically offer greater capacity in terms of tonnage and length, allowing them to handle larger and thicker materials. They may also be more versatile, able to perform a wider range of bends and shapes. Inexpensive models might be limited in size and the complexity of the tasks they can perform.
Speed and Efficiency: High-end models often have faster cycle times and more efficient operation, which can lead to higher productivity. They may also have features that speed up tool changes and setup times. Less expensive models may be slower and less efficient in comparison.
After-Sales Support and Warranty: Manufacturers of more expensive press brakes usually provide better after-sales support, including training, maintenance, and customer service. The warranty period might also be longer, offering greater protection for your investment. Inexpensive models might have more limited support and shorter warranty periods.
Customization and Additional Features: More expensive models often offer more options for customization and additional features such as automatic tool changers, angle measurement systems, and specialized tooling. Inexpensive models are generally more standardized with fewer options for customization.
Energy Efficiency and Safety Features: Higher-end models may incorporate more energy-efficient designs and advanced safety features, such as light curtains or laser safety devices, to protect operators. Inexpensive models may have basic safety features but lack the advanced technology found in more expensive machines.
Brand Reputation and Resale Value: Well-known brands with a reputation for quality tend to charge more for their press brakes, but these machines often have a higher resale value. Inexpensive models from less known or new manufacturers might not hold their value as well.
In summary, while an inexpensive press brake might be suitable for smaller, less demanding operations or for businesses with budget constraints, a more expensive press brake offers better performance, durability, precision, and versatility, which can be crucial for high-volume, high-precision, or heavy-duty applications. The choice between the two should be based on the specific needs and resources of your operation.

A completely self-indulgent post about farm generators in the context of TCM
Tumblr media
Why are these used?
Generators are usually used in rural areas to provide power and light to farms. The generator is made to be portable and small, which is good for many applications on a farm or homestead, as opposed to a household generator that only powers a home.
The Sawyers seem to use a Winco Generator Powered by Wisconsin a S12-D. Here's a video of one running.
How do they work?
A carburetor mixes air with fuel inside of a combustion engine in the right ratio. The engine burns that fuel to create heat, and the heat creates steam which builds pressure. The pressure causes a rotor to spin around, and as the rotor spins it turns magnets around. The spinning of the magnets inside the coil creates a magnetic field, which then produces an electrical current inside the wire coil. The engine spins at a certain RPM to create electricity, and a belt transfers the electrical current produced by the engine to other parts of the machine. That's the basic mechanism of a generator.
Any engine that burns fuel to create power is a combustion engine. The type the family used was specifically a piston engine. These are smaller and more lightweight, designed to be efficient with less fuel and less parts. 
Generators use a ‘light’ engine oil. It's better at lubricating the moving parts inside and less viscous than regular automobile motor oil, which would wear on the engine and cause overheating.
Generators in the 70s used more fuel than modern models, therefore were more expensive to run. They were less efficient, less reliable, bigger and noisier, and wore down quicker. There were less safety features involved. A lot of old generators wouldn't shut off when they overheated or if they got too low on oil. They didn't have things like overload protection or circuit breakers, so if the generator got overloaded or overheated it would blow a fuse. 
The fuses served as a failsafe for when the generator overheated or got overloaded. These engines would shut down when the fuse blew, protecting from any major damage. You would have to replace the broken fuse before you could get it working again. That meant people had to keep buying fuses every time something went wrong. 
Would kicking the generator turn it off?
These generators have a thick and heavy metal casing to protect the important internal components, and to keep the electric current inside. Older generators were much easier to damage. Kicking them could dent the surface of the casing and cause damage to its internal components, causing the engine to fail. Restarting the generator could fix it temporarily, but the problem would likely come up again if the internal components were actually damaged.
Connect the current to an electrified cattle grid
You can do this through direct wiring, where the current is carried directly to the grid, and through clamps, which is one way people often connect electric fences to generators. Either way you'd have to run a wire all the way from the generator to the grid. The wires would be insulated with a tough rubber casing to protect from the elements and prevent them from being a hazard if stepped on.
You would use a transformer to step down the voltage from the generator that is producing the power. The generator provides high voltage current, and the transformer turns it into a lower voltage. This is how an electric fence's shock can be used to deter animals without causing serious damage.
Your average generator outputs a voltage high enough to kill you. Without the transformer to convert the high voltage coming from the generator into a lower voltage, a shock from the grid would be lethal. If you stayed in contact with the grid you would most likely die. Do the family use a transformer? Nah. Don't think so.
Voltage/milliamps
Milliamps are the amount of electrical energy (current) travelling through a given circuit or point in that circuit per second. From a direct, continuous flow of electricity, 100 milliamps (0.1 volts) would be lethal. For example, sticking your finger into an electrical socket.
A current travelling through an electrified grid would have a hard time doing that kind of damage because it's only touching you for the split second you step on it. It doesn't have time to travel through your entire body and cause enough harm to kill you. That's why the victims get launched backwards and are injured but can survive, although it's possible they'll have permanent heart injuries.
How bad are we talking?
The victim's skin would suffer burns as the heat generated by the electrical current passes through it, increasing its temperature and causing a breakdown of the outer layer. This would worsen significantly as the applied voltage increased/prolonged contact.
The involuntary contractions and extensions of the muscles caused by the current can lead to muscle injury and are extremely painful.
If the current runs through their bodies for too long it would disrupt the normal electrical signals in their organs. A healthy heart beats anywhere between 60-100 times per minute at rest. While being shocked it's forced to beat at 50-60 times per minute, disrupting the heart's natural rythym.
This desynchronisation of the heart's muscles and the ventricles twitching rapidly supplies little to no blood to the body: ventricular fibrillation. Blood pressure drops as organs don’t receive enough oxygen, leading to fainting and rapid death.
Things to consider are how long the victim steps on the grid, with how much of their body, the victim’s body size and weight and the kind of shoes they’re wearing. The more insulated the shoe, the less milliamps pass through their body.

Idia Facts Part 16: Idia and Machines
Idia is often upgrading machinery for little to no reason, customizing a magic-imbued toy during Glorious Masquerade to increase its magic capacity 100 times over its original design.
When Azul asks why Idia responds, “No reason.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idia also disassembles a blastcycle for fun and designs and creates multiple weapons for use in Beanfest, including a bean launcher, improved grabbing arm, two capture rods, and two bean blasters.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When asked by Epel’s grandmother to repair her wood splitter he upgrades it as well, improving the output by 400%, adding safety features and installing sensors, auto-scanner and AI.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Idia's Port Fest team decides upon selling waffles during the event he volunteers to create the waffle iron itself, inventing a prototype with ultra high-speed baking functionality and equipped with high-performance AI and infrared sensors.
This backfires when no one else but Idia himself is able to operate it, forcing him to work throughout the day without breaks.
Idia also repairs Malleus’ team's machine during the event, saying, “It was a rush job though, so I could only increase its power output by five times.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idia has an entire vignette focused around his efforts to improve Ortho’s processing speed by 10%.
Idia says that his best subject is summoning, as bargaining with creatures and faeries with rare foods and plants is like playing a video game.
Riddle asks why Idia uses a self-designed robot to clean his room if he is so adept at summoning and Idia says that pressing a button on a robot is the most energy efficient solution.

Pairing: Keigo Takami x reader
Summary: when you started writing online erotica about your boss, you had been under the strict impression that he would never, ever find out about it.
Warning: Smut, vaginal fingering, degradation, praise, slight public-sex, Language, Hawks deserves his own warning
Word Count: 2.3k
Part 2
Tumblr media
The phone rang.
For a secretary, one may have thought this to be a completely normal occurrence, just as you did now. It never would have occurred to you that this particular phone call would be anything but.
So when you picked it up, you answered in your usual, well-mannered tone, completely devoid of any sort of concern. "If this is about the Hero Billboard Chart event then your seat has been reserved and I've requested that it be close to Endeavor."
The laugh of your boss echoed down the line. "Thanks, lovebird, but that's actually not what I'm calling about." He paused, leaving the crackle of empty static in your ear. "Would you mind coming up to my office for a sec?"
"Oh, uh, yes I'll be there right away."
Usually, you were quite good at your job.
You were responsible and efficient, taking on tasks diligently without fault. There was only one unplanned vacation day on your record, taken only as a result of some unforeseen food sickness that left you slumped on your bathroom floor for most of the afternoon.
Still, after you had been able to pry your body away from the safety of your toilet, you had gone back to bed, opened your computer, and reorganized some meetings so your boss had the maximum amount of free time.
He was probably why you enjoyed your job so much, or at least was a big part of it.
Hawks, true to his image, was very laid back and lenient. He met your hard work and determination with praise, a huge comparison to some of the other famous names you had worked under.
This worked as continual motivation to please him, hoping to make his life easier in return for his kindness. Thankfully, he was forgiving, brushing past the meaningless mistakes that many egotistic administrators would've relished in punishing.
So when he had called you into his office without telling you why, the only thing running through your buzzing mind was that you had something very, very wrong.
Mentally replaying through all your actions from the past week, you searched for anything that might've warranted a reprimand and came up completely blank.
You stepped into the elevator, grazing your ID through the scanner device and selecting your preferred floor.
Nervous energy was beginning to simmer in your stomach, growing more intense with every level you passed on the way to the top.
With a ding, you were released into the corridor leading to the same room you visited every morning. Those sessions were usually on your own accord, nothing but a quick catch-up on whatever important party or conference Hawks was supposed to attend.
Of course, he would ask you up here if there was something specific that he needed accomplished at that very moment, but you couldn't ignore the small twitch of intuition that this was different somehow.
Walking down the hall, you acknowledged the fact that you were probably just being nervous over nothing, simply anxious from the negative outcomes that were buzzing around your mind.
After taking a deep breath, you gently knocked on the faded glass of your boss' office. A distracted mumble of confirmation could be heard through the walls and you took it as a pass to enter.
You walked in, eyes immediately flashing to the man in front of you for any signs of external indignation.
He was staring fixedly on his phone, attentively scrolling through an unseen article with his legs propped on the surface of his desk.
All in all, he seemed relatively normal, giving you the minuscule confidence to make yourself known. "You needed something?"
At the sound of your voice, Hawks looked up, allowing a recognizably easygoing smile to spread across his features as he slid his boots off the table. "Yeah, thanks for coming. Would you mind taking a seat?"
You nodded, but the ball of anxiety in your stomach exploded at his words. Nothing good had ever come after that statement.
The next inquiry did nothing to help either. "So, do you know why you're here?"
Beginning to pick at the skin in between your fingernails, you shook your head. "No, not really. Did I do something wrong? An error in one of my reports or something like that?"
"Not at all! Your work here is great." He complimented, waving off your concerns. "However, I do have to bring up a tiny problem regarding your social media."
"My social media?" Hawks nodded at the question. "I'm not really on it. I mean, I have some of the popular apps and stuff, but I don't post anything."
He hummed, tilting his head in feigned confusion. "Not even online erotica about me?"
The blood drained from your face.
You watched in utter horror as he swiveled his phone around, revealing the welcome screen of your very own Tumblr profile.
Words were failing you. You doubted that your voice would work at all if you even tried, but Hawks seemed more than willing to break the silence.
"This one's my favorite. I mean, seventeen thousand likes?" He scrolled to your most recent post and let out a low whistle. "Pun intended, I'm more of a Twitter guy myself, but I'm pretty sure that's impressive, yeah?"
The muscle in your chest was beginning to thump harder and harder. With his acute sense of hearing, you were almost sure he could hear its beat amidst the quiet. "I... I don't-"
"And the tags are even better!" Hawks turned the screen around in his direction once more. "I quote, now tell me if I get anything wrong, hashtag 'I want this man to rail me until I can't walk.'"
In your defense, you hadn't written about Hawks since he had hired you.
The first post had been a sleep-deprived, most likely horny result of your crush on the winged hero. You hadn't even thought it was all that good.
But the internet disagreed.
They came flocking to your sweet words like bees, pollinating your page with likes, reposts, and motivating comments. Their approval worked as motivation, pressure to keep feeding the masses in unneeded media.
When you had been offered the secretarial position here, you had obviously stopped, but you just couldn't find it in yourself to delete the account.
Hours of hard work spent writing and scouting Google for synonyms was just too hard to let go of. Not to mention the readers who genuinely enjoyed your content would have it deleted without a proper explanation.
You had kept it up, leaving your account to slowly become untouched, even if your attraction to the pro increased steadily during the span of these past few months.
Besides, there was no way anyone could connect it to you, right?
Wrong, apperently.
So fucking wrong.
"I've gotta say, you're quite the little writer. I would've said your talents lay in haggling me out of meetings, but this is some good stuff."
Your eyes shot up at his words in shocked dismay. "You read them?"
Golden irises darkened, fixed in your direction in a way that made you squirm. "All of them."
Hot tears began to brim at the corner of your eyes. You willfully pushed them back, hoping to retain what minuscule specs of self respect you had left.
Pushing back the chair, you stood up, offering him a polite bow in refusal to meet his gaze. "I guess I'll go collect my things. Thank you for the opportunity."
"What?"
The confusion in his tone made you look up in surprise. "Aren't I being fired?"
He furrowed his brows, offering you an unreadable expression. "Fire you?"
You nodded at his question, trying to ignore the glimmer of hope creeping into your train of thought. "Well, um, I just thought that-"
"Sit down."
The authority behind his voice had you immediately in compliance. You watched him slowly stand up and make his way over to you, the already established power dynamic reinstated physically.
He placed his hands on the arms of your chair, effectively caging your body between them. "Writing porn online about your boss? A termination would probably be letting you off easy."
Your heart dropped.
Did I commit a felony?
There's no way, right?
There can't be.
I mean, yeah sure, the commission's super uptight about his image, but people write shit online about the heroes all the time, so it can't be that bad.
I hope...
"Did you mean it?"
You glanced up in confusion. "Mean what?"
Cocking an eyebrow, he offered you a smirk that reeked of self-satisfaction. "Did you really spend all that time daydreaming about how good my cock would feel inside you?"
Your mind went blank at his words. There was nothing you could focus on besides the warmth his voice was sparking in your core.
This couldn't be happening. You had to be drunk or asleep or something.
He raised a hand to softly cup your jaw, eyes boring into yours in anticipation. "Listen, sweetheart, you have to let me know this is okay first or I'm gonna stop."
Gaze trailing downward, you line of sight shot
"Please don't." You breathed. He quickly backed away, but you made a grab for his hands in realization. "Fuck, I-I mean don't stop, please don't stop. You can... I want you to keep going, please."
Hawks scanned your expression for any sort of hesitation, finding nothing but desire hidden behind a thick veil of shame and embarrassment.
An impish grin materialized across his face and Hawks resumed his previous position, confining you into the chair with muscled biceps. You gasped when he lifted his right leg, pushing it in between your thighs.
Dexterous fingers began to slowly undo the buttons of your blouse. "I'll admit, you're pretty good at writing about me, but I can promise that the real thing is a lot better."
Intimidating could be a word to describe him, sure, but never like this.
After pulling open your shirt, Hawks tugged down the strap of your bra. The cold air hit your chest and you stiffened in shyness under the heat of his stare.
He nudged your averted gaze upward with the tip of his finger, allowing you to see the affection and lust swimming in his expression. Golden eyes met your own before his mouth crashed against yours.
The kiss trailed downward as he began to pepper your neck and exposed collarbone with his lips, sucking on the skin as his hands moved up to rub your breasts.
You began to unconsciously roll your hips against his thigh, squirming in desperation. He immediately took notice, giving your nipple a soft pinch.
A low whine fell from your throat when he removed his leg from in between yours.
"So needy." Hawks clicked his tongue, voice laced with imitated disapproval.
You watched his hand move to slip underneath your skirt, hooking a finger into the fabric of your underwear and pulling it to the side. A sharp exhale fell past your lips as his breath hit your core.
He ran a finger through your slit, eyes wide in satisfaction at the wetness that followed.
"Always getting here on time, always so polite. What a good girl." He cackled, slowly inserting a finger into you and pumping it experimentally. "Who knew you were such a slut?"
His thumb found your clit, rubbing the bud and drawing a soft moan from your lips. "It doesn't matter very much to me though, as long as you're mine."
The movement of hands came to a slow as he reached behind himself to grab something. "In fact, why don't you show me? Since you seemed so keen on it before."
"What?" You breathed, aching for the pleasure he had just taken away.
"I wanna hear how much of a slut you are for me." He held out his phone, allowing you to see the faintly lit screen of your writing profile. "I want to hear every sentence your perverted little mind has conjured up about me. You stop talking and I stop fucking you with my fingers, understood?"
Allowing him to press the device into your hands, you nodding, silently begging for him to continue.
You started to speak, voice wobbling with every syllable. His movement hung off every one of them, motions led by the fantasy you narrated.
"His touch was like fireworks against her skin, still cold from the evening air."
Every word added to your personal humiliation, but it was an evil you would gladly endure if that meant feeling like this.
"He added another finger." He did as you said, causing you to gasp at the added pressure. "Fuck, Hawks!"
"Keigo, sweetheart."
"Kei-"
With a curl of his fingers, the last syllable of his name fizzled away into low groan. "Almost there, princess, you've got it."
He was right.
This was so much better than anything you could've ever come up with.
The words that fell from your mouth soon turned to a puddle of moans. They blurred together on the screen as bliss flooded your mind, replacing any coherent thought with pure need.
Pleasure coursed through your limbs with every thrust of his fingers, edging you closer and closer to the brim of ecstasy. A few more moments and you pushed past it.
The phone fell from your shaking hands as you unraveled in his.
Hawks tenderly soothed you down from your high, softly continuing to caress your overstimulated clit before removing his hand from under your skirt.
"Request the day off tomorrow, yeah?" He pressed a gentle kiss against your lips, sending you a devilish grin. "I'm taking you up on that hashtag once we get off and you're definitely gonna need it."

Mera do you think you’ll make another part to android!jade? I can’t stop reading it it’s just so good!! >.< also what were to happen if Jade was shut down and darling finally has a chance to escape? How would Jade find darling if he’s shut down and isn’t able to function?🤔 I hope I’m not bothering you with these questions!!
Aaaa thank you so much!!!! I would like to write more for him. Maybe something from Jade's perspective in that same storyline,,, or maybe more angst hehe. No matter what, more android!!!! I love androids and futuristic sci-fi plots, so hopefully I can brain rot more about android Jade. <3
Your questions aren't bothering me at all!!! :D since he's a Shroud android, I think Idia would have installed plenty of features that make a sudden shut-down impossible (or features to prevent such a thing). There are likely spare energy reserves and whatnot. If he was on the verge of a shut-down, he'd probably tap into what reserved energy he has and use it in an effort to capture you. >_< even when he's at risk, his priority will always be you. Jade is efficient and intelligent, so I'm certain he would figure something out!
But by then maybe you've already made it to safety.

The Princess Royal visiting Dubai.
Tumblr media
Her Royal Highness took part in a number of engagements during her visit, which began with a tour of DP World’s Jebel Ali Port. This was followed by a conference on seafarer welfare, jointly hosted by The Mission to Seafarers (MtS), DP World, and WISTA UAE, in conjunction with Stephenson Harwood. The day concluded with a celebratory dinner at the One&Only Royal Mirage Hotel, attended by many leading supporters and potential sponsors of the Mission.
At Jebel Ali Port, the Princess was given a tour of Box Bay, an innovative solution for handling containers. Jebel Ali Port is one of the world’s top ten largest container ports in the world and the busiest port in the Middle East. Technological solutions such as Box Bay will play an important role in improving safety, speed, and energy efficiency in the movement of containers.
The Princess then joined a conference on Women in Shipping and Seafarers’ Welfare, held at the DP World Expo Centre. The event featured two panels, the first on seafarer well-being and increasing female participation in shipping, and the second on attracting and retaining the next generation of female seafarers.
The Princess delivered a speech to delegates, where she highlighted the contribution that women can make in tackling the global crew shortage and the importance of ensuring that women in shipping are listened to and supported. The Princess also met with WISTA UAE Ambassadors, including Rania Tadros, President of WISTA UAE and Managing Partner of Stephenson Harwood in Dubai, as well as other members of the MtS Welfare team in Dubai.
The day concluded with a dinner at the One&Only Royal Mirage Hotel for senior leaders from across the shipping industry and the wider business community, as well as the British Ambassador and the Consul General. Her Royal Highness spoke of the work of the Mission to Seafarers in Dubai and globally, reminding guests how much we continue to depend on seafarers, and how they, in turn, need our sustained support. The Revd Canon Andrew Wright, Secretary General of the MtS, thanked attendees for their support for the vital work of the Mission in the UAE.

Lamborghini 5-95 by Zagato
The Milanese Atelier transformed the model that revolutionized Lamborghini’s history into a contemporary collectible. The Lamborghini 5-95 Zagato is based on the Gallardo LP570-4, the best seller in the Sant’Agata’s company.
Zagato maintained all the technical constraints of the original project but has re-interpreted them according to its philosophy oriented towards functionalism and rationalism - typical values of the Milanese school.The Zagato body expresses the typical key values of an “instant classic”: fascinating, rare and a pure expression of the brands it stands for. The 5-95 was created with the only limitation of active and passive safety witch are the value of the donor car.
On the front end a floating spoiler takes inspiration from the Lamborghini Raptor Zagato, coming to a firewall in carbon fiber that conceals the front air intakes. Continuous glass surfaces – a technical and stylistic theme launched by Zagato in the end of the 40s on the Panoramic bodies and re-applied in the 80s – surround the pillar-less body and, similarly to aeronautical cockpits, reduce noise and improve aerodynamics.
The side intakes, following the Lamborghini Raptor, have been visually reduced to the minimum thanks to an air scoop on the roof as well as additional apertures concealed in the glass surfaces. The air scoop is functionally integrated with the double bubble roof, a signature of Zagato design, directing the cooling to the intake manifold. The monolithic rear volume is chopped off by the typical truncated tail and reveals the brutality of mechanical components protruding from the area such as tail lamps heat release, aerodynamic features and the active spoiler.
There isn’t a sole gram of fat in a Lamborghini. It is thin and athletic, having a lot in common with the surfaces of a Zagato body, true to the rule that a car is as much efficient as it is compact.
Zagato designers and engineers aimed to press the rear towards the engine and to increase the proportion of the front. As a result, the 5-95 Zagato’s volumes express a sense of energy through fluid and organic surfaces that recall an animal’s muscles as it is ready to leap forward.
The volumes intersect each other and suggest a jump, as if the central part of the front is ahead of the fender. To accentuate these proportions some solutions were introduced: in fact a new wind deflector was inserted at the base of the windscreen in order to increase the perceived length of the bonnet - this has a very precise aeronautical function because it improves the wind flow in the windscreen wiper area. In the same way, the rear volume has been slightly reduced introducing a “coda tronca” (truncated tail) to emphasize the perception of the leap.

Walking On My Grave - IF
Tumblr media
DEMO | PLAYLIST
You live in Bravo, one of the biggest and most advanced cities of the Known World, built upon the strength, knowledge and energy of Souls and Undeads along centuries. In the last 10 years, you have made a name for yourself as trustful and efficient with the City Council and the Academies of Magic. When problems with the Undead and the Soul-based technology arose, it didn't really came as a surprise the summons and the mission: Go to the Blood Prophets and get us knowledge and advice so we can solve this.
There you went, along with your companion given the same mission.
And at first it went fine, an uneventful trip through the roads, cities and small villages of the continent.
Until you were caught in an earthquake, the ground opened up under you, and you woke up lost in the middle of unknown and unexplored underground tunnels, only your companion with you, and no idea of the depths the both of you were or how to get out.
WARNINGS: This IF is rated +18, because of violence, possible gore and body horror, blood, possible suggestion of cannibalism, possible death, and possible suggestive sexual themes and situations.
Features
- Create and customize your character: play as an Undead Knight or as a Necromancer. Choose between female, male and nonbinary. Customize your appearance, your personality, your name and how you fight.
- Antagonize, befriend or romance your companion (A Necromancer or an Undead Knight, depending on with which you play) as you both try to escape and survive the tunnels.
- Explore the tunnels, discover more about how Souls and Death work, and, hopefully, complete your mission.
- Resist the Hunger. Resist the Need. Resist the Greed. Resist the Desire.
- Beware the tunnels.
The Possible ROs
The Undead Knight: Gehfeer Silb-Ziidre Custorti (Gender-Selectable, He/She/They)
Gehfeer is one of the best Undead ever brought back to life in the Academy of Necromancy; in only ten years, they were raised to the ranks of the Custorti, some of the most reliable Undeads, trusted in the presence of Soul Pearls and Living as no other can be. Always with a sarcastic answer on the tip of the tongue and not a lot of deference most of the time, strangers would doubt how fast they can be when necessary and their dedication to protect the ones inside the Academy. Maybe the Hunger seems to always be slightly louder than it should considering their experience, teeth and fingers always anxious to tear flesh apart, but it is not uncontrollable.
The Necromancer: Cosmos Tessere Morttatio (Gender-Selectable, He/She/They)
Cosmos is a prodigy. One of the few mages of the Academy of Necromancy that conquered the title of Morttatio, a Master at Resurrecting the dead, in less than the typical fifteen years after graduation. Easy to anger, Cosmos is not someone to be taken lightly, all their intelligence and magical talent focused since childhood to the advent of Resurrection, to find and choose the best Souls to guarantee the Academy and Bravo's safety. Maybe they should've had waited more between each Resurrection, the Desire is stronger than what it should be at their age, fingers and mouth anxious to weave spells and bring all back from the dead, but they can manage it.

Metal organic framework nanosheets employed as ion carriers for self-optimized zinc anode
Aqueous rechargeable zinc ion batteries are promising components for electric grid storage due to their low cost and intrinsic safety. However, their practical implementation is hindered by poor reversibility of the zinc anode, primarily caused by the chaotic Zn deposition present as dendrite and side reactions. Recently, a research group led by Prof. Yang Weishen and Dr. Zhu Kaiyue from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has proposed a strategy using "ion carriers" by importing macromolecular Zn2+ carriers with a large mass-to-charge ratio to decouple the ion flux from the inhomogeneous electric field and substrate. This method provides an efficient pathway to overcome the dendrite and side reaction problems. This study was published in Energy & Environmental Science on Aug. 18. The researchers found that metal organic framework (MOF) nanosheets featuring migration capability under electric field due to their one-dimensional channel structure and preferential Zn2+ adsorption, as well as unique reductive chemistry due to the weak coordination between ligands and zinc ions, enables them to serve as dynamic Zn2+ ion carriers.

another magnet movie mreview double feature
toy story 2 and monster's inc.
I swear I don't mean to do 2 at once, I'm watching these semi-daily but I can only review when I have energy, okay break and go
Toy Story 2
Do you ever watch a movie, and find that secretly, scenes from the whole movie are burned into your retinas and are drawn on your eyelids, this was my latest experience watching toy story 2. Toy story 2 is about an inversion on the original, woody is in a secondary location and it's up to the boys to bring him home while he has cowboy doll adventures with jesse and the horse and that other guy. Definitely a more novel setup than "what if a kid was evil" but it leaves a lot of the movie on the shoulders of the boys, who're fun but i would hesitate to say any of them "contribute", honestly mvp of the rescue mission might go to fake buzz, who gets the vent open *and* fights that weird zurg that shows up. I know all it sounds like i've done is complain, but that's mainly because i dont have much else to say otherwise. Toy Story 2 is a natural feeling expansion on the original, talking about one or two things the movie does well would just be repeating "well they did this better than the original, and technology improved over time"
toy story 2 gets a 9/10, and the original gets retroactively bumped to an 8/10
memorable bits: the video game bit, when woody finds all his cool shit, "when she loved me" (honestly the buzz half of this movie is less than the woody half that's why all these scenes are woody's), the invention of asmr cleaning videos, star wars references fuckin everywhere, the entire last 30 minutes being stuck in my brain since childhood with it's weird soft lighting and like fun gray stuff
monster's inc.
Now this is a movie I can analyze. Monster's inc. is about how we need green energy fucking now, naturally it was released in 2002. Sully and Mike are working class factory men in the scare factory, a power plant but instead of torturing rocks they torture children by going into their rooms at night and scaring them. They do this with minimal safety equipment and with an understanding that touching a human child is explicitly dangerous. This becomes clearly false as they meet our third lead, a human child they call boo, shenanigans and hijinks ensue, they get boo back to the human world, get their coworker randall and boss mr. waterknot put in prison for human trafficking and they switch to green energy laughter. i find this movie far more interesting as a metaphor than as a movie to be critical about (it's another 8/10 if you want a score, i really like the score and the world but find it drags in the middle until the climax). So, their boss was secretly funding a more efficient, but far more unethical way of getting oil scream, instead of going with the even more efficient and powerful and infinite laughter, but it doesn't really seem like mr. waterknot even really knows about the laughter. Actually now that i think of it nobody knew there was an alternative until the end, so ig the boss wasn't the worst fictional capitalist i've ever seen, because at least he wasn't also suppressing the cure, he was just stupid. but who cares about his plan his shit is incidental randall is a class traitor! like straight up actually doesn't care about selling out human kids, and doesn't give a fuck about mike and sully getting banished for like 5 minutes, just so long as he gets a promotion he'll kill his lil peanut guy to get his way. it's like a really messy metaphor but it works as a compelling case for "but why not solar power tho?" y'know? like that one comic that's like "but what if we cleaned up the world for future generations for nothing" but like as a movie, why shouldn't we use green energy? even if it's nothing but better for the kids
memorable bits: uhhh the fuckin doors, that scene with mike and randall with the clock, the scene where they shave that guy, the sushi place (which blew up in the pre-9/11 cut), the fuckin monster offices in the back (need that in kh), "welcome to the himalayas", nemo in boo's room at the end, "i'd kidnap a thousand children before i'd let this company die" for some reason playing continuously in my head whenever i think of this movie, rozz the slug lady, celia, the ending tease,
