I love TJD drama because yeah Damian and Rhea weren’t the best in the beginning but they really turned a corner and loved their little family, but Finn and the others never forgot the initial events and just waited to get their lick back.

DST with @gretactic, @veritas-aequitas-ab-intra, and TheJeksburyGuy

Context: Veritas was playing with a wolf mod, and kept chasing me around shouting 'yiff'. I, like always, ran to Gret for help (because that always works out oh so well for me).

She was playing Triumphant Wilson and I kept calling her Shadow Daddy because I play Wes as his true form: a Thot, hence why it says 'Save me, Shadow Daddy' in the third panel.

Seconds later I was attacked by another fucking frog and had to be rescued by Gret because my game glitched and I couldn't attack.

What Gets Coated and What Should Not Be Coated

Industrial metal finishing processes such as electroplating, electroless nickel plating, hard chrome plating, anodizing, powder coating, and thermal spray coatings improve the performance, durability, and appearance of metal components. These coatings help resist corrosion, reduce wear, increase hardness, improve lubricity, and extend the service life of critical parts. However, not every surface on a component should receive a coating. Many precision-machined features, sealing surfaces, electrical contact points, threaded sections, and weld preparation areas must remain free of deposited metal or protective finishes. This is where metal coating maskants become an essential part of the manufacturing process. Masking protects specific areas of a part before it enters a finishing line, ensuring that only the intended surfaces receive the coating while critical dimensions and functional areas remain unchanged. Common Metal Finishing Processes That Require Masking Many commercial finishing operations rely on masking prior to processing, including: Electroless nickel plating Hard chrome plating Zinc plating Powder coating Anodizing Thermal spray coatings Conversion coatings and chemical passivation Each of these finishing methods deposits a protective layer that can alter dimensions, conductivity, surface finish, or weldability if applied where it is not wanted. Metal Components That Commonly Require Masking Nearly every precision component has areas that must remain untouched during coating. Some common examples include: Pumps Bearing bores Mechanical seal faces Shaft journals Precision mounting surfaces Internal sealing grooves Industrial Piping Threaded pipe ends Weld bevels Flange sealing faces Precision gasket seating surfaces Internal sealing lands Fasteners Threaded portions Drive recesses Bearing surfaces under bolt heads Locking features requiring precise tolerances Hydraulic Cylinders Seal grooves Rod threads Precision piston diameters Weld preparation zones Electric Motors and Electromechanical Equipment Electrical grounding locations Terminal connection points Bearing seats Rotor shaft journals Precision alignment surfaces Valve Bodies Valve seats Stem packing areas Threaded ports Precision-machined sealing faces Structural Weldments Future weld joints Heat-affected preparation areas Grounding pads Assembly locating surfaces Without proper masking, coatings may interfere with assembly, sealing performance, electrical conductivity, or welding operations, leading to expensive rework or rejected parts. Common Types of Metal Coating Masking Materials Selecting the proper masking material depends on the coating process, operating temperature, chemistry, and removal requirements. Masking Tapes High-temperature tapes made from polyester, polyimide, vinyl, or fiberglass materials are commonly applied over flat surfaces or threaded areas. These tapes resist plating chemicals, powder coating temperatures, and aggressive cleaning solutions while providing crisp coating boundaries. Once processing is complete, they are peeled away without damaging the finished surface. Masking Waxes Protective waxes are ideal for irregular shapes, internal cavities, threads, and machined openings. Melted wax is brushed, dipped, or poured onto the areas requiring protection. After the coating process, the wax is removed using heat or appropriate cleaning solutions. Many manufacturers source these materials from a specialized microcrystalline wax manufacturer that formulates products specifically for industrial finishing operations. Masking Liquids A chemical masking liquid offers excellent flexibility for complex geometries where tape cannot easily conform. These liquid coatings are brushed, sprayed, or dipped onto the workpiece before curing into a durable protective film. Following plating or coating, the cured film peels away cleanly, exposing the original metal beneath without affecting dimensional accuracy.

Liquid maskants are especially useful for parts containing intricate passages, grooves, threaded holes, and recessed features. Products for Industrial Masking Applications Among the recognized masking materials available to the surface finishing industry is the family of MICCRO products manufactured by Tolber Chemical. These specialized masking compounds have been developed for demanding plating and coating operations where consistent protection, chemical resistance, and clean removal are essential. One example is MICCRO Shield Masking Liquid, a peelable liquid maskant designed to protect precision-machined surfaces during electroplating, anodizing, and related finishing processes. Once applied and cured, the protective film withstands processing chemicals while preventing unwanted coating buildup on designated areas. After processing, the film can typically be removed quickly, reducing cleanup time and minimizing the potential for damaging finished components. Tolber Chemical also manufactures additional masking compounds formulated to accommodate varying temperatures, chemistries, and production environments, giving finishers multiple options depending on the application requirements. Most industrial masking materials including tapes, waxes, liquid maskants, and specialty compounds are available through U.S. and international distributors that supply chemicals and consumables to the metal finishing and surface treatment industries. These distributors work closely with plating shops, OEM manufacturers, aerospace suppliers, machine shops, and industrial coating facilities to ensure masking products are compatible with specific finishing processes. Successful metal finishing involves much more than simply applying a protective coating. Knowing which surfaces should remain uncoated is equally important for maintaining dimensional tolerances, sealing performance, electrical conductivity, and weld quality. Whether using precision tapes, protective waxes, or advanced liquid maskants, the right masking solution helps manufacturers produce higher-quality finished parts while reducing costly rework. With specialized solutions such as the MICCRO product line, manufacturers can confidently protect critical surfaces throughout the coating process and achieve consistent, repeatable finishing results.

I’ve been using the same knife at work for the last six years, and I realized just how personal it has become to me. When I cut, I know with tip is dull enough that I can score without breaking, the rear is sharp enough to cut through plastics and foam like butter, and I know the bevel is thick enough to glide right past cardboard with no problem. This knife is special to me because of how I shaped it, how I’ve grown to learn it.

My co workers shame me for not using a box cutter, but I disagree, my tool is an extension of my growth, in all ways. I have come to further appreciate what I have shaped around me and what around me I have shaped. Then again, when they use it they are utterly useless because they have not grown with this tool.

Life is full of these things,the door handle showing more love on one side from the use of a specific hand, keys becoming worn from nights longing for a bed, shoes telling a story of work, fun and hardship.

There are stories all around if you look.

I keep a beer and a bottle of gin on my bedside table. Not to tempt me but to keep me in check. To get to my bed I must pass the threshold of what haunts me, the liquid that makes me lose my life.

When I was younger I would allow liquor to destroy me. Until it took one of my most treasured friends away. My drunken actions had caused such pain that I lost him. All my fault for my insatiable hunger to be drunk.

No longer do I let this linger. As I remain of clear mind, I know my faults. And so I look at the beer and gin in anger. Not of pity but of hate against it.

I have been doing this for months and it has worked in a weird way. I am strong enough to sleep without unleashing my demons.

When I was a child my parents were around but not very present. My father would be away for weeks at a time and my mother would come home remarkably late from work each day that most of my time I never saw them.

For this, my grandmother raised me to most of my early life. She was there for everything and I am extremely grateful for her being the woman she is and was.

I am of course iMessage thankful for my parents and the sacrifice they made away from home that gave me the childhood and opportunity for myself, but I always despised work ethics such as theirs from then on.

I work a lot now, with my job demanding long hours often ten to twelve hours a day, but I don’t work often. I make sure to take as much time off as I can. With this I enjoy meeting friends, going to events, seeing museums, etc.

My parents believe that I should work more and focus on a more fulfilling career but I believe there is more life to live than in an office.

I am happy with the choice that I have made, taking less work and more freedom. Now that my grandmother has been diagnosed with cancer, I enjoy the luxury of seeing her freely without much of a tie to my desk work.

Love you grandma.
