[engines-as-art]

With every assembly, taking time to balance the moving components is a critical step. We try to keep weight differences between cylinder bays and the hemispheres of the engine as small as possible so that there isn’t a built in imbalance from the start, which can lead to accelerated wear. Connecting rods are machined or resized accordingly, as they are one of the few components where we can adjust their weight without sacrificing structural integrity. They’re then matched with pistons and pins that complement them for optimum weight combinations.

#i thought of this a couple weeks ago on the bus a couple seats away from someone loudly coughing into the open air #i think something snapped and i decided to make a fuckin. medieval ass plague sona. horseman of pestilence fursona #this is also why i was asking abt animals with medical symbolism.. originally i wanted a two headed snake like the staff of caduceus #but it turns out thats actually hermes symbol. the real symbol for medicine is the rod of asclepius which looks pretty similar #the difference is that theres only one snake and its twined around a stick. ironically mercy from overwatch's weapons are named after #the caduceus despite the misconception LMAOOO #snakes were the most consistent medicine related animal i could find even across multiple cultures so it couldve really worked #if i could actually draw scalies.. one of my earliest sketches had a cobra with a syringe at the end of its tail like a rattlesnake #and it had markings similar to the syringe tube but i didnt have much else going on so i scrapped it #i was also recommended animals with less obvious ties to medicine like jellyfish and horseshoe crabs and learned something new ^_^ #im not confident i could pull off a non-mammal furry but they were really good ideas i might put into smth else.. i also thought of #axolotls bc of their regenerative thing and growing back limbs but i think that would suit smth like a surgeon or amputation... #possums and bats were also an option bc theyre actually really resistant to most diseases like rabies but i feel like ppl wouldnt know that #if they saw it so it looks a little ironic at a glance. rabbits rats and mice were my second option bc of animal testing and lab rats #less obvious reference but the moon rabbit in chinese mythology is loosely connected to medicine bc it makes the elixir of life #otherwise lab mice in a pharmacy / modern medicine setting seemed fitting and jerboa tails remind me of cotton buds #and. ironically. jerboas are more closely related to elephants than rats and mice. can you believe it #my art #myart #my oc #sona #plaguesona #cottonbud #fur #furry art #character design #ref sheet #oc ref sheet

the biggest problem with temperatures as low as we're having now is that this beautiful and wonderful apartment has uhh. has no working heating. so we are very much freezing

#żmija gada #there are only old tile stoves which are decommissioned. one of them has a rod inside that can be connected to electricity #but it consumes a shitton of it and gives off barely any heat #and we can't afford to use that much electricity #so triple socks and hoodies and blankets it is #Urwisek luckily sleeps by the warmth of the computers so he's good :-) #steep stairs to the old seven

Who killed Markiplier but it's in the Twilight Zone

#who killed markiplier #wkm #to me it's in the Twilight zone now it just makes sense #the jims are the rod serling like narrator characters in the jim news #you know a video series is good when it got released almost 7 years ago and i still think about it regularly #like when i first watched wkm i was 17 now i'm 24 and still always connect other media to it and make theories #markiplier

wait why does the voiceless narrator/Mickey at the start of kh1 tell Sora he’s the one who will open the door, but then Riku is the one who opens the door and lets the darkness in that destroys Destiny Islands and stuff

#ig mickey could be talking about another door but what tf other door #kingdom hearts #this also implies the realm of the heart stations is closely related or connected to the realm of darkness #(which does make sense) #bc mickey’s able to communicate w sora here the way he’s able to communicate w riku when riku loses his body and ends up in the rod #but honestly this all just makes me feel like it’s supposed to be riku in sora’s place #like riku’s supposed to be having the awakening or something #or like the voice/mickey is not talking to sora #and since riku is the one who actually possesses the keyblade/the key to the door at this point in time… #hmm #idk it’s weird #was there a good way to open the door that wouldn’t result in everything being destroyed
