Email client that imports labels as tags instead of folders on Linux (and Android)

Problem Statement

I'm in the process of de-googling, and I'm about 60% there, but I still need gmail for the things that I cannot or have not yet migrated.

I've also recently experimented w/ the Thunderbird app for both Linux and Android, and it's okay. One thing that really irritates me is the fact that when I import my emails from gmail, all my labels are handled as folders in Thunderbird. This is an issue b/c I have rules to help organize incoming email by assigning one or more labels. I believe Thunderbird has the concept of tags, but by default Thunderbird routes gmail labels to folders instead of tags.

Question

Is there a mail client on Linux (and Android) that handles labels from gmail as tags instead of folders? Alternatively, is there a setting in Thunderbird that will use tags instead of labels that I'm just not aware of?

I've tried searching DDG, but came up with nothing useful beyond other posts on other social media websites asking similar questions.

Comentários sobre o filme "Encontro com Milton Santos: o mundo global visto do lado de cá"

Bate-papo ao vivo sobre o documentário Encontro com Milton Santos: o mundo global visto do lado de cá, com o professor David Melo van den Brule, do Laboratório Integrado de Estudos de Geografia e Meio Ambiente da Universidade de Pernambuco (LIEGMA/UPE).

Data: 03/12/2025
Horário: 19h
Local: canal do GPTDE/UFOP
Parceria: Curso de Licenciatura em Geografia CEAD/UFOP

ATENÇÃO! Para participar deste bate-papo recomendamos que assista antes ao documentário "Encontro com Milton Santos: o mundo global visto do lado de cá" através do link disponível na sala do projeto na UFOP Aberta (caso deseje declaração de participação na sessão comentada).

Sinopse do documentário: "Quando o mundo estava pautado pelo pensamento único da globalização, o professor Milton Santos foi a voz discordante, denunciando as perversidades do que chamou de "globalitarismo", sistema econômico que provoca a concentração de riqueza entre os ricos e que distribui mais pobreza para os desfavorecidos. Fruto de sete anos de trabalho, Encontro com Milton Santos ou O Mundo Global visto do lado de cá apresenta a última entrevista do geógrafo, gravada em janeiro de 2001, cinco meses antes da sua morte. Na entrevista, ele traça um painel das desigualdades entre o norte rico e o mundo do sul saqueado, apresentando alternativas e um prognóstico otimista sobre o futuro da humanidade. Dedicado às suas ideias, o filme mostra também seu percurso da Faculdade de Direito para o Jornalismo e a Geografia e fala de suas paixões, como Josué de Castro, Sartre, Rui Barbosa, Castro Alves."

A Mostra Sílvio Tendler estará disponível do dia 24/11 a 07/12 de 2025 na sala do projeto de extensão Práticas Educativas Mediadas por Tecnologias na UFOP Aberta (moodle.aberta.ufop.br/user/ind…). Tanto o link para o documentário quanto a gravação deste bate-papo estarão disponíveis na sala e compõem as condições de participação para obtenção da declaração na própria sala.

Práticas Educativas Mediadas por Tecnologias é um projeto de extensão desenvolvido pelo Grupo de Pesquisas sobre Tecnologias Digitais na Educação (GPTDE) do Departamento de Educação e Tecnologias (DEETE) do Centro de Educação Aberta e a Distância (CEAD) da Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP).

Rebasing a Branch Created from Another Branch to Main After Squash Merge: A Step-by-Step Guide


 Rebasing a branch made of another branch to the main branch gets tricky after a squash merge. In this article, I provide a step-by-step guide to tackle this problem.

What is the issue?


Before and after rebase

In a project using Git as a version control system, we have a main branch from which we have created a feature branch (the blue branch). While making changes in this branch, we decided to add another feature on top of the changes we made in this feature branch, so we created another feature branch (referred to as the red branch) on top of the earlier branch. Now we squash merge the first feature branch to the main branch. (Note: the diagram is drawn to make it easier to understand the structure of branches and commits. When we do a squash merge, the new m3 commit will have only one parent.)

Now, we want to rebase the red branch to the latest commit on the main branch. Though in this simple case, it is not needed, let's imagine a situation where we need to do this to ensure we have the latest changes on the main branch (supposedly with some extra commits after m3). What will happen?

If we try to rebase, something strange happens. The history of the red branch doesn't only include b1 and b2 but also a1 and a2. Why so? Simply because b1 is based on a2, which is based on a1. Because of the nature of squash merge, we don't have a1 and a2 on m3. We only have their changes but not any reference to those commits. So there are possibilities of conflict between a1 and a2 changes and the changes in m3 (if there are more commits, reverting each other in the blue branch).

What to do? Should we resolve all of these conflicts? What is the point? We only want to rebase the red branch with its own commits on the main branch, which now has the changes made in the blue branch. Why include other commits? Well, this is what this post is all about.

What to do?


We must clean up the red branch history while rebasing it to the main branch. Now let's go step by step:

  1. If this is your first time doing this, it is good to make a backup by making a copy of the branch by git branch --copy red-branch-backup.
  2. Make sure you know the first commit of the red branch, either by its commit SHA or the commit message (if it is unique and meaningful).
  3. While on the red branch, run git rebase --interactive main command. You get a text file open in your editor. This (temporary) file lists all the commits in the red branch compared to the new base commit (m3). Here, you can do different things, but we only want one thing: Remove all the lines containing commits from the blue branch.
  4. Save the temporary file. Now you notice rebase starts to apply changes from the remaining commits you left in the file (should be b1 and b2). You are done if your b1 and b2 commits don't conflict with the main branch. Otherwise, resolve conflicts as you usually do.
  5. You can check the commit history. You should have the same commits but with new SHA (since they are different commits with different histories than b1 and b2).
  6. You are done.

Is there any better way to achieve the same result? Please share it in the comments.

Bash scripting question

Hello everyone,

Hoping that this is a good place to post a question about Bash scripting. My wife and I have run into a problem in PhotoPrism where it keeps tagging pictures and videos with similar names together and so the thumbnail and the video do not match. I decided that rather than try to get her iPhone to tweak its naming it's easier to just offload to a directory then rename every file to a UUID before sending to photoprism. I'm trying to write a bash script to simplify this but cannot get the internal loop to fire. The issue appears to be with the 'while IFS= read -r -d '' file; do' portion. Is anyone able to spot what the issue may be?

\#! /bin/bash
echo "This script will rename all files in this directory with unique names. Continue? (Y/N)"
read proceed
if [[ "$proceed" == "Y" ]]; then
    echo "Proceed"
    #use uuidgen -r to generate a random UUID.
    #Currently appears to be skipping the loop entirely. the find command works so issue should be after the pipe.

# Troubleshooting
\#Seems like changing IFS to $IFS helped. Now however it's also pulling others., don't think this is correct.
\#verified that the find statement is correct, its the parsing afterwards that's wrong.
\#tried removing the $'\0' after -d as that is string null in c. went to bash friendly '' based on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57497365/what-does-the-bash-read-d-do
\#issue definitely appears to be with the while statement
    find ./ -type f \( -iname \*.jpg -o -iname \*.png \) | while IFS= read -r -d '' file; do
       echo "in loop"
       echo "$file"
       #useful post https://itsfoss.gitlab.io/post/how-to-find-and-rename-files-in-linux/
       #extract the directory and filename
       dir=$(dirname "$file")
       base=$(basename "$file")
       echo "'$dir'/'$base'"
       #use UUID's to get around photoprism poor handling of matching file names and apples high collision rate
       new_name="$dir/$(uuidgen -r)"
       echo "Renaming ${file} to ${new_name}"
       #mv "$file" "$new_name" #uncomment to actually perform the rename.
    done
    echo "After loop"
else
    echo "Cancelling"
fi

find ./ -type f ( -iname '*.jpg' -o -iname '*.png' ) -print0 |
while IFS= read -r -d '' file; do
  echo "in loop"
  echo "$file"
  dir=$(dirname "$file")
  base=$(basename "$file")
  echo "'$dir'/'$base'"
  new_name="$dir/$(uuidgen -r)"
  echo "Renaming ${file} to ${new_name}"
  # mv "$file" "$new_name"
done

That's what perplexity gave me after copy pasting the post.

I'm totally in favor of people asking other people for help with these things. But here's what Claude gave.

Found the Issue!


The problem is a mismatch between your find output and what read expects:

  • find with a regular pipe outputs newline-separated filenames
  • read -r -d '' expects null-terminated input (the -d '' means "use null byte as delimiter")


Solution 1: Use -print0 with find (Recommended)


Change your find command to use -print0:

find ./ -type f \( -iname "*.jpg" -o -iname "*.png" \) -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' file; do

Solution 2: Remove -d '' from read

find ./ -type f \( -iname "*.jpg" -o -iname "*.png" \) | while IFS= read -r file; do

Additional Issues to Fix:


  1. Quote your wildcards: -iname \*.jpg should be -iname "*.jpg" to prevent shell expansion
  2. File extension preservation: Your script generates UUIDs but loses the file extension (.jpg, .png). You probably want to keep those!


Improved Script:

\#! /bin/bash
echo "This script will rename all files in this directory with unique names. Continue? (Y/N)"
read proceed
if [[ "$proceed" == "Y" ]]; then
    echo "Proceed"

    find ./ -type f \( -iname "*.jpg" -o -iname "*.png" \) -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' file; do
        echo "in loop"
        echo "$file"

        # Extract the directory and extension
        dir=$(dirname "$file")
        ext="${file##*.}"  # Get file extension

        # Generate new name with UUID but keep extension
        new_name="$dir/$(uuidgen -r).$ext"

        echo "Renaming ${file} to ${new_name}"
        # mv "$file" "$new_name"  # Uncomment to actually perform the rename
    done
    echo "After loop"
else
    echo "Cancelling"
fi

The key changes:
- Added -print0 to find
- Quoted the wildcard patterns
- Preserved file extensions using ${file##*.}

Try this and let me know if it works!

Im sorta a computer hoarder but what can i do with some older desktops?

Over the past few years ive gotten desktops from various smaller thrift stores but not i feel like i have too many and im not sure what to so with them? Do i save them and turn them into a bugger project? Do i make a nas out of one of them? Im stumped theres so many things to do with a pc that i dont know where to start, or if this is even the right place to post in?

I pretty much saved theses from e-waste and scalpers but most of the machines are devices nobody wants or has a issue.

Israel remains in Eurovision

Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia will boycott next year's Eurovision Song Contest, after Israel was allowed to compete.

They were among a number of countries who had called for Israel to be excluded over the humanitarian toll of the war in Gaza, and accusations of unfair voting practices.

Despite calls for a vote on Israel's participation, members instead approved a new set of rules intended to protect the integrity of the contest.

Ireland's national broadcaster RTE said it felt that its "participation remains unconscionable given the appalling loss of lives in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis there which continues to put the lives of so many civilians at risk."

In a statement, Dutch broadcaster Avrotros said that "participation under the current circumstances is incompatible with the public values ​​that are essential to us".

Spanish broadcaster RTVE added: "The board of directors of RTVE agreed last September that Spain would withdraw from Eurovision if Israel was part of it."

"This withdrawal also means that RTVE will not broadcast the Eurovision 2026 final... nor the preliminary semi-finals."

Understanding the Longevity of Porcelain Veneers


 Porcelain veneers are a reliable and long-lasting cosmetic treatment, but they are not permanent. Expect about 10 to 15 years of good performance, potentially longer with strong enamel, good habits, and routine care. Their lifespan is a balance between ma

Porcelain veneers have become a popular choice for those looking to enhance their smiles quickly and effectively. They can mask imperfections such as chips, discoloration, and minor gaps, offering a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing appearance. However, it's important to understand that while veneers are durable, they are not a permanent solution. Their longevity is influenced by a variety of factors, including the skill of the dentist, individual oral health, and personal habits.

The Expected Lifespan: A Realistic Range


On average, porcelain veneers are expected to last between 10 to 15 years, according to many dental professionals. Some individuals may enjoy their veneers for up to 18 or even 20 years, thanks to strong enamel, a stable bite, and consistent oral care. Conversely, others might need replacements before the 10-year mark due to fractures, gum recession, or changes in the underlying tooth structure.

The variation in lifespan is primarily because veneers are bonded to living teeth, which can shift, change, and wear over time. The stability of the tooth supporting the veneer is crucial for its longevity.

Why Bonding Technique Matters


The success of a veneer largely depends on the bonding process. Porcelain is inherently strong, but if the adhesive layer is weak or uneven, the veneer won't withstand daily use for long. Proper bonding requires precise tooth preparation, clean and controlled adhesive application, and a meticulous fit between the veneer and the enamel.

Minor errors during this process might not be immediately apparent but can surface years later as staining at the edges, small gaps, or slight movement. This is why choosing an experienced dentist is crucial. If you're considering veneers, it's wise to inquire about the dentist's experience with veneer cases or whether they collaborate with a dedicated ceramist. These details can significantly impact the long-term outcome.

The Condition of the Underlying Tooth


A veneer only covers the front surface of the tooth, so its success hinges on the health and strength of the underlying tooth. Teeth with large fillings, cracks, deep staining, or previous trauma may not support veneers as effectively as healthy enamel. A tooth that has undergone a root canal may darken or weaken over time, affecting the veneer's appearance or stability.

Dentists often take multiple photos, X-rays, and scans before recommending veneers. They assess not just the shape and color but also whether the tooth can support a restoration for a decade or more.

Everyday Habits That Impact Longevity


Porcelain is a strong material, but certain habits can compromise veneers. Grinding and clenching, often done unconsciously at night, can chip veneers or weaken the bond. Chewing ice, biting pens, or cracking nuts with your teeth can also cause damage. Porcelain won't flex under pressure; it will crack if pushed beyond its limits.

Smoking doesn't stain porcelain but can affect gum health, leading to gum recession and exposed veneer edges. Heavy coffee or tea consumption can stain the natural tooth around the veneer, creating a noticeable contrast.

Maintaining Veneers Over the Years


Caring for veneers is straightforward. They require consistent, gentle cleaning with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Daily flossing helps prevent bacteria buildup along the margins.

Regular dental visits are essential for early detection of issues such as tiny chips, thinning cement, or gum inflammation. Informing the hygienist about your veneers ensures they use polishing pastes and tools that won't scratch the porcelain.

Minor damage can sometimes be repaired with composite resin, but severe cracks or separation usually require replacement.

Veneers and the Natural Aging of the Mouth


Even if veneers remain intact, the mouth changes over time. The jawbone remodels, teeth shift, and gums can recede due to brushing habits, genetics, or aging. When gums recede, the border between the veneer and the natural tooth becomes visible, affecting the seamless appearance.

In some cases, replacing the veneer with one designed for the new gum contour is necessary. In others, treating gum inflammation or adjusting brushing techniques can suffice.

As people age, enamel wears down, and changes in the bite can place uneven force on veneers. Long-term monitoring is crucial to address these subtle changes.

The Cost Question: Is the Investment Worth It?


Porcelain veneers are more expensive upfront than composite bonding or whitening, but they offer longer-lasting results and better color retention. When considering whether veneers are worth the investment, it's important to focus on their longevity.

If you expect veneers to last a lifetime, you'll be disappointed. However, if you view them as a long-term restoration, similar to a roof that lasts 10 to 20 years, they become a more sensible choice. Many people find the confidence boost and long-lasting results justify the cost.

Budgeting for eventual replacement helps manage expectations. Some providers offer warranties or reduced-cost replacements within a few years, but long-term maintenance is still a consideration.

Choosing a Clinician With Longevity in Mind


Selecting a provider isn't about finding the fastest or cheapest option; it's about choosing someone who prioritizes long-term health. A good veneer plan includes evaluating bite alignment, gum stability, enamel thickness, and discussing habits that could shorten veneer life.

Consulting with a dentist at Clementi or a dentist near Clementi can give you a clear sense of your suitability before committing. Viewing mock-ups and previous cases can also provide insight into the dentist's approach to proportion, symmetry, and natural aesthetics.

When to Replace Veneers


Most people know it's time to replace veneers when they notice visible issues such as chipped edges, darkening of the underlying tooth, or margins that catch floss. Sensitivity can also indicate decay under the veneer. Sometimes, the veneer is intact but no longer matches the surrounding teeth.

Replacement involves removing the old veneer, re-preparing the surface, and placing a new one. With modern ceramics and experienced dentist near Clementi, the process is predictable.

Final Thoughts


Porcelain veneers are a reliable and long-lasting cosmetic treatment, but they are not permanent. Expect about 10 to 15 years of good performance, potentially longer with strong enamel, good habits, and routine care. Their lifespan is a balance between material strength, dentist skill, and everyday behavior.

Understanding that veneers require maintenance and eventual replacement makes them a smart investment rather than a surprise expense. With proper planning and consistent care, they can remain strong and natural-looking for many years.

The Company Secretary: A Strategic Asset for Foreign Tech Firms in Singapore


 This guide explores the responsibilities of a cosec, their significance for foreign founders, and how secretarial services in Singapore can be a game-changer. Let's dive right in.

Setting up a tech company in Singapore is a strategic move. The city-state is known for its stability, connectivity, and business-friendly environment. However, the legal and administrative aspects of running a business are equally important. One role that often goes unnoticed but is crucial is that of the company secretary, or cosec. For foreign tech firms, the cosec is not just a formality but a vital component in ensuring compliance, organization, and agility.

This guide explores the responsibilities of a cosec, their significance for foreign founders, and how secretarial services in Singapore can be a game-changer. Let's dive right in.

The Essential Role of a Cosec for Foreign Tech Companies


Singapore law mandates that every company appoint a company secretary within six months of incorporation. This is just the beginning. The cosec's role extends far beyond being a signatory for filings; they are the custodians of corporate compliance. They maintain statutory registers, prepare and record board and shareholder meetings, and file returns with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), ensuring that no deadlines are missed.

For foreign tech firms, the cosec's role is even more critical. These companies often grapple with cross-border investors, intellectual property ownership, local licenses, and employment passes. The cosec acts as a bridge, connecting these elements and maintaining an accurate public record. This reduces friction when dealing with banks, auditors, or potential partners.

Practical Tasks Managed by a Cosec


While the day-to-day tasks of a cosec may seem routine, they are essential. They prepare board packs, circulate agendas, draft minutes and resolutions, and maintain registers of members, directors, and charges. They also lodge changes with ACRA and keep proof of lodgement. Additionally, they monitor statutory deadlines and manage the compliance calendar.

For tech companies, there are specific tasks that a cosec often handles. They help document share schemes and option grants, record transfers and allotments when bringing on investors, and prepare paperwork for share buybacks or reorganizations. They also coordinate with accountants on annual return filings and XBRL submissions. Accuracy and timeliness are paramount; a single slip can delay funding or complicate due diligence.

Resident Director and Local Presence


Singapore requires private companies to have at least one resident director. This means that at least one director must ordinarily reside in Singapore. Many foreign founders do not live in the country, so they must either hire a local director, appoint a nominee (with caution), or use a service provider to find a qualified director. A cosec will highlight this requirement early and offer practical solutions.

Registered Office and Communication Hub


Your company must have a registered office in Singapore, which serves as the official address for notices and legal documents. Secretarial services in Singapore commonly provide registered office facilities and mail handling. This keeps your home address private and ensures that important correspondence is received and acted upon promptly.

Beyond Filings: Governance and Contracts


A cosec's responsibilities extend beyond form-filling. They help establish governance practices, ensuring that board papers are presented properly. This means that decisions are defensible and minutes reflect that the board has considered material risks. For tech firms working with investors, this clarity is crucial. It minimizes disputes and accelerates future funding rounds.

The cosec also assists with contractual formalities. When signing investment agreements, option plans, or IP assignment deeds, the cosec ensures that board approvals and shareholder consents are in place. They verify that the correct resolutions are passed and recorded before signatures are affixed.

The Value of Secretarial Services in Singapore


While you can hire an in-house secretary, many foreign tech firms opt for external providers. Secretarial firms offer bundled expertise, tools, and process control. They maintain a compliance calendar, prepare templates, and have experience working with ACRA and other regulators. They also integrate seamlessly with accountants and lawyers, ensuring that filings, audits, and legal checks proceed smoothly.

A reliable external cosec mitigates risk. They catch conflicts of interest, incomplete minutes, or missing approvals before they become problematic. This simplifies due diligence and reduces legal friction when expanding into new markets.

Pitfalls to Avoid


Do not leave the cosec role to chance. Multitasking founders often miss deadlines. Do not assume that a nominee director absolves all local obligations—legal duties still rest with the signatories. Do not underestimate the need for clear records when granting options or issuing shares. Compliance is an ongoing process, not a year-end task.

Be cautious of providers who promise to act as directors without clear limitations. This can lead to governance and liability issues. Choose a partner who understands tech structures and investor dynamics.

When to Involve Your Cosec


Engage the cosec from the outset. Before incorporation, consult them about resident director options and registered office needs. During fundraising, have them prepare allotment and transfer paperwork. Ahead of an AGM or annual return, ask them to conduct a compliance health check. Early involvement saves time and prevents last-minute rushes.

Working with Legal and Tax Advisers


A cosec is not a substitute for lawyers or tax advisers. Use them in tandem. Lawyers draft and review agreements, while tax advisers handle structuring and withholding issues. The cosec coordinates filings and ensures that board approvals align with legal documents. This collaboration keeps the company's paperwork in sync with its commercial decisions.

Checklist for Foreign Founders Setting Up in Singapore


  • Appoint a company secretary within six months.
  • Ensure at least one resident director is appointed.
  • Arrange a registered office and mail handling.
  • Set up a compliance calendar and assign responsibilities.
  • Use secretarial services in Singapore if you lack local staff.
  • Coordinate cosec, legal, and accounting workflows for fundraising and option plans.
  • Keep minutes, registers, and lodgement receipts neatly filed.


Final Thought


For foreign tech companies, the cosec role is both practical and strategic. It is the link between investors, the board, and Singapore's regulators. Utilizing experienced secretarial services in Singapore reduces risk, streamlines routines, and maintains clean records for investors and partners. Treat the cosec as a partner, not just a form-filler. By doing so, you can keep the legal side out of your way while focusing on building your product.

Imagine your ready-mix concrete business not just surviving the next decade, but thriving in it, ready to meet new demands and seize unexpected opportunities. That future doesn't happen by accident; it's built today with deliberate, forward-thinking choices. The most important foundation you'll pour isn't made of concrete—it's the decision you make about your ready mix concrete plant. This crucial piece of equipment is the very heart of your operation, and choosing the right one is about so much more than just today's output. It's about planting a flag for growth, efficiency, and resilience. Let's explore how the right investment can transform your plant from a static piece of machinery into a dynamic engine for your future success.

## Embracing Agility: Why Modular Design and Scalability Matter
The construction market is wonderfully unpredictable, with demand ebbing and flowing between residential booms, infrastructure projects, and commercial developments. A future-proof business is an agile one, capable of pivoting without painful, costly overhauls. This is where the philosophy of modular design in a [concrete batching plant for sale](aimixconcretesolution.com/conc…) becomes your superpower. Instead of a single, monolithic structure, think of your plant as a set of interoperable modules: mixing units, aggregate batchers, cement silos, and control rooms. A modular approach allows for graceful expansion. Starting with a two-silo, twin-shaft mixer configuration? Fantastic. When a major highway contract comes along, you can integrate additional silos for supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash or GGBS, or even add a separate, dedicated mixer for specialty mixes like fiber-reinforced concrete. This scalable architecture means your capital investment grows logically alongside your business, preventing the need for a complete, disruptive replacement down the line. You build your capabilities block by block, ensuring your plant's capacity always aligns with your ambition.
## The Smart Core: Investing in Automation and Data Intelligence
Gone are the days when a batching plant was just a mechanical recipe follower. The future belongs to the connected, intelligent plant. Investing in a sophisticated, automated control system is no longer a luxury; it's the central nervous system of a modern operation. These systems do far more than just open gates. They provide precise, repeatable batching with tolerances measured in grams, eliminating costly material overages and guaranteeing mix consistency batch after batch. But the real magic happens with data. A smart plant generates a continuous stream of valuable intelligence: real-time inventory levels, production reports, mixer performance metrics, and energy consumption data. This information lets you optimize truck dispatch, predict maintenance needs before a breakdown occurs, and provide clients with certified, digital batch tickets for total traceability. This shift from manual guesswork to data-driven decision-making reduces waste, boosts productivity, and elevates your reputation for quality and professionalism. Your [portable concrete batch plant](aimixconcretesolution.com/conc…) becomes not just a producer, but a strategic partner in profitability.
## Building a Greener Legacy: Sustainability as a Competitive Edge
The future of construction is unequivocally green. Regulations are tightening, and clients—from government agencies to private developers—are increasingly prioritizing sustainable supply chains. Your batching plant investment is a powerful opportunity to lead this charge. Modern plants are engineered for environmental stewardship. Features like fully enclosed aggregate and cement conveying systems virtually eliminate dust emissions, making you a better neighbor and ensuring worker health. Advanced water recycling systems capture slurry water for reuse in future batches, conserving a precious resource and reducing effluent. Furthermore, a well-designed plant facilitates the use of recycled materials. By having separate, dedicated storage and precise batching for recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) or industrial by-products, you can offer innovative, lower-carbon concrete mixes. This isn't just about compliance; it's about capturing a growing market segment and building a brand synonymous with responsibility. A sustainable plant future-proofs your business against tightening regulations and aligns you with the values of tomorrow's biggest projects, turning ecological care into a compelling commercial advantage. By choosing a plant designed for agility, intelligence, and sustainability, you're not just buying equipment—you're building a legacy of resilience and growth.

Finally got my Linux laptop at work

I work in a corporation with an IT-department that is all in on whatever Microsoft is offering. My team has for some time gotten more and more autonomy in tooling as IT is overloaded and forced to relinquish some control, but we still rely on them for supplying compliant machines that have access to our resources.

I requested a Linux machine just over 5 months ago, and I finally got it this week. It is running Ubuntu with GNOME, not my first choice, but the only thing that is Microsoft Intune compliant as far as I know.

So far it is such a relief. A better specced machine with less bloat running on it. It should be far between any OOM-issue I get now... Slightly annoying having to use Edge for any service requiring corporate SSO, but I'll swallow that pill...

Structural Advantages of Producing Biochar from Hardwood Feedstock

Structural Advantages of Producing Biochar from Hardwood Feedstock

Introduction to Hardwood-Derived Carbon Materials


Biochar produced from hardwood exhibits a suite of performance and economic advantages that make it a preferred substrate in carbon sequestration, soil amelioration, and industrial adsorption applications. Hardwood, characterized by its dense cellular architecture and slow-growth lignocellulosic composition, yields a carbon-rich solid with enhanced stability and structural uniformity. When processed through a pyrolysis plant, the transformation of hardwood into biochar demonstrates superior thermochemical efficiency and material durability compared with softwood or agricultural residues.

Short sentences highlight its benefits. Hardwood is dense. Hardwood is stable. Hardwood performs consistently.

Its high fixed-carbon content and reduced volatile fraction enable the formation of a robust carbon matrix capable of enduring environmental stresses for centuries. This endurance is essential in carbon removal pathways and engineered environmental systems.

High Fixed-Carbon Yield

Enhanced Carbon Retention


Hardwood inherently contains elevated proportions of lignin, which thermochemically converts into stable aromatic carbon structures during pyrolysis. This characteristic leads to increased fixed-carbon yield and greater mass retention after thermal decomposition.

In a controlled wood charcoal machine, hardwood biomass demonstrates predictable carbonization behavior. Its resistance to thermal fragmentation reduces tar formation and mitigates the generation of unstable carbon fractions. This results in a more consistent yield profile and facilitates accurate modeling of biochar performance across applications.

Dimensional Stability


The slow pyrolytic decomposition of hardwood contributes to a uniform pore matrix. Pores are finer, more ordered, and more resistant to collapse under thermal and mechanical stress. This structural consistency increases the biochar’s utility in filtration, catalytic support, and soil conditioning.


Superior Mechanical Strength and Structural Cohesion

Load-Bearing Capacity in Soil Systems


Hardwood biochar features significantly stronger compressive resistance than softwood-derived equivalents. The density of hardwood fibers translates into a rigid carbon skeleton capable of maintaining shape integrity in soil matrices. This reduces structural degradation, especially in applications involving repeated wet–dry cycles or physical disturbance.

Short sentences improve clarity. Strength matters. Degradation reduces performance.

Industrial Applicability


Because of its mechanical resilience, hardwood biochar is employed in sectors where abrasion resistance is critical. Examples include metallurgical fuel blends, high-pressure adsorption columns, and composite material fillers. Its durability minimizes attrition, extending operating cycles and improving system reliability.

Optimized Porosity for Adsorption Efficiency

Surface Area Development


Hardwood’s tight grain and microfibril arrangement foster the formation of micro- and mesoporous networks during carbonization. These pores provide extensive surface area for adsorption of nutrients, heavy metals, and organic contaminants.

Porosity is critical for reactive interfaces. Hardwood biochar balances pore size distribution, giving it versatility across remediation and agronomic applications.

Chemical Functionalization Potential


The pore architecture created in the pyrolysis plant environment supports uniform surface modification. Oxidative, alkaline, or catalytic treatments can be applied more effectively due to the char’s stable framework. Functional groups—such as carboxyl, hydroxyl, and phenolic structures—anchor more predictably to hardwood-derived carbon, enhancing adsorption selectivity.

Enhanced Stability for Carbon Sequestration

Resistance to Microbial Degradation


Hardwood biochar resists microbial decomposition due to its high aromaticity and condensed ring structures. This feature makes it an ideal long-term carbon sink. The material remains inert in the soil for centuries, which strengthens its role in engineered carbon removal strategies.

Short sentences reinforce longevity. Hardwood lasts. Stability generates climate benefits.

Reduced Re-release of Carbon


High stability means reduced risks of carbon re-emission into the atmosphere. This ensures reliable carbon accounting for carbon offset projects and supports robust verification under modern carbon certification frameworks.

Thermochemical Efficiency in Processing

Lower Volatile Content


Hardwood biomass possesses lower initial moisture and volatile content compared with many agricultural feedstocks. This characteristic reduces the energy burden on the pyrolysis plant, improving overall thermal efficiency.

Fewer volatiles also translate to cleaner vapor streams and more efficient condensation systems. This enhances operational stability and reduces maintenance requirements.

Predictable Heat Absorption


Hardwood’s homogenous density leads to consistent thermal conductivity, enabling uniform heating throughout the feedstock bed. Predictability simplifies reactor calibration and reduces variability in product characteristics.

Versatility Across End-Use Markets

Agronomic Enhancement


In soil systems, hardwood biochar improves cation-exchange capacity, moisture retention, and microbial habitat structure. Its stable pore network supports sustained nutrient buffering and fosters long-term soil fertility.

Environmental Remediation


Hardwood biochar is widely used in groundwater filtration, stormwater treatment units, and land reclamation systems. Its adsorption capacity, stability, and resistance to chemical deterioration make it well suited for contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and hydrocarbons.

Industrial and Energy Applications


Certain hardwood biochars can be further activated to produce high-performance adsorbents used in gas purification, catalytic processes, and energy storage. Its structural integrity enables precise activation without collapsing the pore framework.

Strategic Advantages in Large-Scale Operations


Hardwood feedstock supply chains are often more stable in forestry-rich regions. This reduces procurement volatility and supports consistent production planning. Moreover, hardwood’s higher density reduces transportation volume per unit mass, improving logistics efficiency.

When integrated into a modern pyrolysis plant, hardwood offers operational reliability, elevated carbon yields, and superior material performance across a broad spectrum of industries. Its advantages collectively reinforce its role as a premium feedstock for biochar production, particularly in applications requiring long-term stability, high adsorption capacity, and robust mechanical characteristics.

Dual Yellow Laser: A Gentle Touch for Sensitive Skin in Singapore


 The dual yellow laser system offers a new approach, targeting redness and superficial pigment with precision while minimizing thermal stress. This makes it an ideal choice for patients with easily irritated skin.

In Singapore, where the climate can be harsh on the skin, finding a gentle yet effective treatment for sensitive skin is crucial. Traditional laser treatments often come with the risk of causing inflammation, which can be counterproductive for those with reactive skin. The dual yellow laser system offers a new approach, targeting redness and superficial pigment with precision while minimizing thermal stress. This makes it an ideal choice for patients with easily irritated skin.

The Dual-Wavelength Advantage


The dual yellow laser system operates on a paired-wavelength principle. One wavelength targets hemoglobin, effectively treating small blood vessels. The other wavelength focuses on superficial pigment. By combining these two wavelengths, the system addresses the two primary visible causes of skin reactivity: vascular redness and uneven pigment. This dual approach not only reduces the need for repetitive passes but also limits overall energy exposure to the skin, making it particularly suitable for sensitive patients.

The Yellow Wavelength: A Kinder Touch


The yellow wavelength is particularly effective because it sits near a peak where oxyhemoglobin absorbs light efficiently. This allows for lower fluence and fewer pulses to achieve the desired effect, resulting in less collateral heating of surrounding tissue. In practical terms, this means milder immediate redness, shorter downtime, and a reduced chance of inflammatory rebound. For patients with easily irritated skin, these differences can make the treatment experience far more tolerable.

Addressing Pigment with Precision


The shorter wavelength, which falls in the green to blue-green range, is designed to handle epidermal and superficial dermal pigment. While it is not intended for deep pigment removal, it effectively smooths superficial mottling. This is particularly important because irritated skin often appears worse when tiny pigment irregularities are combined with vascular redness. By treating both issues simultaneously, the dual yellow laser achieves a more uniform result with fewer sessions.

Ideal Treatments for Dual Yellow Lasers


In clinical practice, dual yellow lasers excel in treating conditions such as persistent facial redness, telangiectasia (small broken capillaries), rosacea-related erythema and flushing, and superficial pigment issues like sunspots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. They also offer gentle improvements in skin tone and radiance without the need for aggressive resurfacing. While they are not a cure-all for deep or complex pigment disorders, they are often the safest first-line option for reactive skin.

Patient Experience: A Calmer Recovery


One of the key benefits of dual yellow lasers is the predictability of the recovery process. Many patients report only mild warmth and redness that typically subsides within hours or a few days. This allows them to return to social activities quickly. Clinicians can further enhance this experience by pairing laser sessions with calming topical regimens, such as barrier-supportive creams and strict sun protection. These adjuncts help reduce the risk of post-procedure inflammation and ensure that the gains from treatment are preserved.

Practical Technique: Less is More


When treating reactive skin, a conservative approach is essential. Clinicians typically start with low fluence and conservative pulse counts, using skin cooling techniques before, during, and after pulses to limit thermal buildup. They may also treat small areas initially as test spots for highly reactive skin and space sessions widely enough to allow for full recovery. This patient-first approach minimizes adverse events and builds trust, making dual yellow lasers a tool for steady improvement rather than a one-shot gamble.

Combining Modalities Wisely


Dual yellow lasers can be effectively combined with other gentle strategies. For instance, they can be used alongside low-strength topical brighteners to control pigment or paired with mild resurfacing steps later in the treatment course. For rosacea, combining laser treatments with medical management, such as topical anti-inflammatories or systemic therapy when indicated, can provide better long-term control. The key is to address the most reactive component first and then refine the treatment.

Caution for Certain Patients


While dual yellow laser Singapore are safer than many aggressive lasers, caution is still necessary. Patients with darker skin tones are at higher risk for pigmentary issues, so conservative settings and test spots are essential. Active infections, recent isotretinoin use, or medications that increase photosensitivity may require treatment delays or modifications. A thorough consultation before the first session can help identify these factors and ensure safe treatment.

Managing Expectations and Measuring Outcomes


Patients often seek clear timelines and realistic expectations. While some improvement may be visible after the first session, significant results typically require multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart. It is important to be candid about the limits of the treatment, such as deep-seated pigment or very dense telangiectasia, which may need complementary approaches. Framing outcomes as “calmer, less reactive, and visibly improved tone” helps manage expectations.

Safety and Complication Management


While no device is without risk, dual yellow lasers generally have mild complications when used conservatively. Transient redness, temporary pigment changes, and rare burns or scarring can occur if energy levels are too high. Clinicians should have protocols in place for managing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and cooling strategies, and they should advise patients on sun avoidance and gentle skincare. Good follow-up and prompt management of any unexpected changes are crucial for maintaining simplicity and safety.

Clinic Workflow Tips


For clinics adopting dual yellow lasers, practical steps can help ensure safe integration. These include training staff on conservative settings for different skin phototypes, providing clear pre- and post-care instructions that emphasize sun protection and barrier repair, offering test spots for reactive or darker-toned patients, and documenting photos before each session to track subtle changes. These habits reduce risk and make results reproducible.

Conclusion: The Balance of Effectiveness and Gentleness


The dual yellow laser is often referred to as the “best” laser for easily irritated skin because it strikes a balance between targeted effectiveness and a gentler thermal footprint. It does not replace clinical judgment or the need for careful patient selection, but it does offer expanded options for those who previously had to avoid lasers. This practical, patient-centered approach is what truly sets dual yellow lasers apart.

Can you get Clipboard History on Gnome+Wayland?

I wanted a simple clipboard history on Win+V.

I've installed CopyQ - it's ugly, starts with a lag and doesn't quite work on Super+V shortcut. I've switched to Wayland and it silently stopped working altogether.

Next, I've installed Gnome Clipboard History Extension - it looks good, fast, works on Super+V, but for some reason it can't paste into Kate text editor.

Is it possible to get a reliable clipboard history manager on Gnome+Wayland, or should I stop wasting my time? Maybe someone has a working solution?

I am a little but frustrated by the obstacles I encounter trying to get this simple feature.

## The Upfront Equation: More Than Just a Price Tag
It's true, a robust tracked crusher represents a substantial capital investment. However, viewing this cost in isolation is like judging a book by its cover. This investment is actually a consolidation of multiple capabilities into a single, mobile factory. You're acquiring a primary crushing station, a screening plant, and a highly efficient transportation system all mounted on a rugged, go-anywhere chassis. Compared to the expense of establishing a stationary [stone crusher plant](aimixgroup.com/stone-crusher-p…) with its requisite foundations, conveyors, and separate loaders, the tracked solution often presents a more accessible entry point. More importantly, it eliminates the massive logistical costs of moving raw material to a fixed crusher. Your capital is buying you logistical sovereignty—the freedom to bring the crusher directly to the rock face or stockpile, which is the first and most significant step toward long-term savings.
## The Operational Symphony: Where Efficiency Creates Profit
Once your tracked crusher is on-site and running, the real magic of cost-effectiveness begins. Its mobility is its superpower, allowing you to follow the resource or move between multiple job sites without the need for expensive haul trucks and ancillary equipment. This drastically reduces cycle times and fuel consumption across your entire operation. The 200 TPH capacity is a sweet spot, offering substantial output without the extreme size and cost of larger, less maneuverable units. This consistent, high-volume production means you can fulfill large contracts reliably, improving your reputation and allowing you to command better rates. Furthermore, modern tracked crushers are designed with fuel efficiency and easy maintenance in mind. Features like direct drive systems, hydraulic adjustment of settings, and readily accessible service points all contribute to lower daily running costs and less unexpected downtime. Every hour it runs smoothly is an hour it's generating revenue and building your bottom line.

## The Future-Proof Asset: Versatility and Enduring Value
Perhaps the most cheerful aspect of investing in a 200 TPH [track crusher](aimixgroup.com/stone-crusher-p…) is its remarkable versatility and enduring value. This isn't a one-trick machine. With different jaw and mantle configurations, it can process a wide variety of materials—from hard granite to recycled concrete—allowing you to pivot and take on diverse projects. This adaptability protects your business from market shifts in a single material type. As environmental regulations become more prevalent, the ability to efficiently produce recycled aggregates on-site positions you as a forward-thinking, sustainable operator. Finally, let's talk about the machine's own value over time. A well-maintained tracked crusher from a reputable manufacturer holds its value exceptionally well. Its proven productivity and durability make it a sought-after asset in the used equipment market. This strong residual value means that over its long service life, the net cost of ownership is far lower than the initial price suggests. You're not just spending money on a crusher; you're investing in a durable, adaptable, and valuable business asset that will contribute to your success for many years to come. That’s a gain worth celebrating!

Aggregate Supply Gap and Crushing Plant Opportunities Affected by Accelerated Urbanization in Latin America

Latin America is experiencing one of the fastest rates of urbanization in the world, with millions of people moving into metropolitan areas and mid-sized cities each year. This demographic shift fuels massive demand for housing, transportation systems, energy infrastructure, and public services—all of which rely heavily on high-quality construction aggregates. However, rapid growth has exposed a widening supply gap across the region, creating both challenges and opportunities for aggregate producers and equipment suppliers. In particular, the lack of modern crushing facilities presents significant potential for upgrading production capacity and improving supply chain stability.

This article explores how urbanization intensifies the aggregate supply gap, and how investments in modern crushing equipment—such as stone crushers for sale(trituradoras de piedra en venta), aggregate crusher plant, and aggregate crusher plant for sale in Chile—can help producers remain competitive while meeting market demands efficiently.

Urbanization Trends Reshaping Aggregate Demand


Latin America’s urban population has surpassed 80%, and cities like Lima, Bogotá, Santiago, and São Paulo continue to expand rapidly. This growth directly increases demand for aggregates used in residential construction, road and highway upgrades, metro and rail expansions, public utility infrastructure, and commercial and industrial developments. The challenge is that many quarries and crushing operations still rely on outdated machinery, inefficient workflows, or geographically isolated production sites. As a result, they struggle to meet the rising volume and quality requirements demanded by modern infrastructure projects.

How Urban Expansion Creates a Supply Gap

Higher Material Requirements for Infrastructure Upgrades


Urbanized regions demand durable road networks and efficient transportation corridors. These projects require immense volumes of high-quality crushed stone, manufactured sand, and gravel. Producers with outdated equipment often face inconsistent particle size, lower production capacity, high downtime, and excessive operating costs. A modern aggregate crusher plant(planta de agregados) increases capacity and ensures a consistent, high-grade product that meets project specifications.

Transportation and Logistics Constraints


Transporting raw stone over long distances to urban job sites significantly increases cost. Urbanization intensifies these pressures as cities expand outward. Mobile units and stone crushers for sale provide flexible deployment that reduces logistics costs and allows on-site processing when necessary.

Environmental Regulations and Resource Restrictions


Many Latin American governments have tightened permitting requirements for quarry operations and emission standards for crushing equipment. Older machinery often fails to meet these standards. Upgrading to cleaner, energy-efficient plants not only ensures compliance but also reduces long-term production costs and improves sustainability.

Opportunity for Modern Crushing Plants in Latin America

Growth of Urban Projects Creates Stable Long-Term Demand


Construction materials demand remains strong as governments prioritize infrastructure. Producers who invest in advanced crushing technology benefit from continuous demand for aggregates needed in road rehabilitation, water system upgrades, airport expansions, and large-scale housing developments. In Chile, rising demand has intensified interest in aggregate crusher plant for sale in Chile(planta chancadora de aridos venta chile), especially near major urban zones.

Mobile Crushing Solutions Fill Temporary or Remote Gaps


Urban growth often pushes construction into hard-to-supply fringe areas. Mobile crushers offer rapid deployment, on-site production, and reduced transport costs, making them ideal for temporary or fast-track projects. These advantages keep stone crushers for sale in high demand.

Upgrading Plants Increases Productivity and Reduces Waste


Modern crushing plants integrate automated feeding, real-time monitoring, energy-saving motors, advanced screening systems, and wear-resistant parts. These upgrades improve efficiency, reduce production waste, and increase profitability.

Practical Strategies for Reducing the Aggregate Supply Gap

Conduct Market Demand Forecasting


Producers should analyze urbanization-driven project pipelines to estimate aggregate requirements and determine appropriate plant capacity expansions.

Combine Fixed and Mobile Plants


A hybrid approach ensures stability and flexibility: fixed plants handle large-volume production, while mobile units support expanding urban areas or temporary needs. This strategy minimizes bottlenecks and strengthens supply reliability.

Invest in Environmentally Efficient Technologies


Energy-efficient motors, dust suppression systems, and optimized fuel use reduce operating costs and help producers comply with tightening regional regulations.

Strengthen Maintenance and Spare Parts Planning


Modernizing equipment also means gaining access to global technical support networks and faster spare parts supply, helping avoid downtime and maintaining reliable output.

Future Outlook of Aggregate Supply in Urbanizing Latin America


Urbanization will continue shaping aggregate demand for decades. Cities across Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Mexico will keep investing in mobility systems, renewable energy, and public infrastructure—all requiring stable aggregate supply. The growing interest in aggregate crusher plant for sale in Chile highlights a regional shift toward technologically advanced, higher-capacity crushing solutions.

Conclusion


Accelerated urbanization in Latin America is reshaping the aggregate supply landscape. While demand climbs, many producers struggle with outdated equipment, high logistics costs, and compliance challenges. Upgrading to modern crushing solutions—such as advanced stone crushers for sale, a high-efficiency aggregate crusher plant, or a strategically located aggregate crusher plant for sale in Chile—provides a practical pathway to increasing production, reducing risks, and taking full advantage of the region’s expanding infrastructure opportunities.

A Practical Guide to Replacing Wear Pads on Your Terex Telescopic Boom


 Sections may start binding, the extension becomes rough, and metal surfaces can show signs of scoring. Replacing these pads is a task that requires patience, a safe setup, and, most importantly, genuine, quality Terex parts.

Maintaining a Terex telescopic boom involves paying close attention to various components, but the wear pads are among the most critical. These pads endure constant friction as the boom extends and retracts, and when they wear down, the effects are immediate and noticeable. Sections may start binding, the extension becomes rough, and metal surfaces can show signs of scoring. Replacing these pads is a task that requires patience, a safe setup, and, most importantly, genuine, quality Terex parts.

Safety First: Setting Up for Success


Any maintenance work on a telescopic boom should begin with stabilizing the machine. This means pulling the key, isolating the battery, and releasing any hydraulic pressure. Ensuring the boom is fully supported with slings or blocking is crucial before loosening any components. Trusting hydraulics to hold a section in place is a recipe for disaster; one small drift or hose failure can turn a routine job into a hazardous situation.

Most technicians find it helpful to lay out all the necessary tools, pads, fasteners, and the service manual beforehand. Having everything within reach not only keeps the job steady but also prevents rushing once the boom is opened up.

Inspection Before Disassembly


Before removing any bolts, it’s essential to extend the boom slowly and observe how each section behaves. Note any hesitation or sideways shifts. Taking photos of the pad layout, shim positions, and bolt patterns can be incredibly useful during reassembly, especially if you haven’t worked on this exact model recently.

Measuring the pad thickness and comparing it to the service limits is also a good practice. If the pads are at or below the recommended minimum thickness, replacement is the best course of action.

Removing the Old Pads


Once the boom is securely supported and documented, start loosening the pad fasteners. Applying penetrating oil to the bolts, especially on machines that operate in harsh environments, can make the process smoother. Back the bolts out evenly to prevent the pads from binding as they come off.

If a pad is particularly stubborn, a soft mallet and a small pry bar can help break it free. Avoid using metal-on-metal strikes or sharp tools, as any gouges on the boom surface can cause problems down the line.

After removing the pad, thoroughly clean the area. Old adhesive, rust flakes, and packed-in dirt are common culprits that can affect how well the new pad seats.

Preparing the Seating Surface


This step is often rushed but is crucial for the longevity of the new pads. Wipe down the surface with solvent and inspect the metal for any signs of corrosion. Light corrosion can be removed with a wire brush, but deep pitting, warping, or cracks need to be addressed before proceeding.

Ensure the surface is completely dry before installing the new pads. Any moisture or debris trapped under the pad can lead to uneven wear and potential misalignment.

Installing the New Wear Pads


The new pads should sit flush without any rocking. Position each pad exactly as the original, including orientation and any shims. Hand-start the bolts to ensure clean thread engagement. If the service manual specifies the use of anti-seize or threadlocker, follow these instructions precisely to avoid future complications.

Tighten the bolts gradually in the recommended pattern, adhering strictly to Terex torque specifications. Proper torque ensures the pads remain in place under load and prevents fasteners from stretching or backing out.

If a pad doesn’t sit flat after torquing, reevaluate the situation. Clean the surface again or check for debris under a shim. Forcing a pad into place is never a good idea.

Testing the Boom After Installation


Once all the pads are installed and torqued, retract the boom fully and cycle it a few times at low speed. Listen for any scraping, clicking, or unusual resistance. The boom should move smoothly without hesitation. Many technicians recheck the torque after a few cycles, as the pads may settle slightly.

Inspect the hydraulic lines, hoses, and wiring around the boom to ensure nothing is rubbing or out of place. Document the date, hours, pad part numbers, and torque values for future reference.

Troubleshooting Common Issues


While most wear pad replacements go smoothly, a few issues can arise. Unevenly seated pads usually indicate debris or damage on the mating surface. Fasteners that won’t torque properly may signal stretched bolts or damaged threads. Binding during extension is often due to alignment or support issues, so double-check your setup.

If pads wear out prematurely, consider misalignment between boom sections or using pads that don’t meet Terex requirements. Choosing verified quality Terex parts ensures the correct tolerances and materials, making a significant difference in the longevity and performance of your boom.

Conclusion


Replacing wear pads may not be the most glamorous task, but it’s essential for maintaining the health of a telescopic boom. Taking a slow and careful approach, supporting the sections safely, cleaning the mating surfaces, and following the service manual’s specifications are key to preventing binding, protecting the boom sections, and ensuring smooth machine operation. Trust your hands, your eyes, and the service manual to get the job done right.

I've never been a big fragrance guy. When I found out about people like you, I decided to just go fragrance free. If it's not a big deal to me and it gives a few people headaches to be near me, might as well just not do it. There are some tangential benefits. My deodorant irritates my armpits less now. My hair oil used to irritate my skin if it got on my forehead. Now it doesn't.

What should I use them for and what distro should I use

I have found two old macbooks in the house me and my family live in.
They are a MacBookair 2011 and a MacBook pro from 2008.
I don't want to throw them away cause they are usable.
I daily drive another 2013 MacBook air, very small and great for what I do with it, Wich I'm still looking to put Linux on it.
For the 2011 MacBookair I put MX in it and I'm pretty good with it(but I want to use it as backup for the 2013), but with the 2008 MacBook pro there Is a problem: there is no battery to be found and it works only connected to power. Since here there are kinda frequent power outages for a minute or so I still can't use it for something that requires it running all the time.
Do you have any suggestions on what to do with it or any distro? (For the 2013, 2011and 2008)

Sorry for the trouble

Have a great day (and I hope this is relevant to the community)

I have 4 Apple laptops running Linux, so I have some experience with it all.

The Macbook Air 2011 has wifi driver bugs, on large downloads/updates you will experience crashes (complete lockups). This happens with either of the two drivers available for it (foss linux and broadcomm). I suggest you get a tiny usb wifi for it for $6. You blacklist the internal driver first.

For the 2008 macbook, consider if it has 4 gb of ram or not. If yes, use linux, if not, have it as a toy. Maybe install something Q4OS (with trinity DE), or even Haiku. I personally don't use Linux on less than 4 GB of RAM. Yes, it loads fine on lite distros, but the moment you want to do some web browsing, you'll hit the swap, which destroys the drive. 4 GB RAM is my minimum. Also, the fact that it doesn't have EFI, it will work best with Q4OS (which is Debian based), and Haiku.

For the 2013 one, I'd suggest Linux Mint, it works great. You might, or might not require a usb wifi too. On some newer macbooks the wifi works without crashes during usage, but it doesn't let the machine wake up properly you see. So all that stuff need to be tested by you.

On the 2015+ macbooks, the webcam doesn't work usually (the third party driver doesn't work properly either).

I've been a hardcore gentoo user/fan for 20+ years, I thought I'd never be able to use anything else till I started playing with Nix this year. The granular configurability of each individual package has yet been unmatched for me in any other distro till Nix. For #gentoo though, I'd highly recommend taking great care in tailoring your /etc/portage/make.conf, setup /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf with sync-type = git, and use /etc/portage/package.{use,mask,unmask,accept_keywords} as directories for individual packages. I tend to keep a /etc/portage/package.mask/failed file for upgrade blockages fer me to unfuck after a emerge -avuDUN @world succeeds.

Bukan Sekadar Hoki: Rahasia Menang di Sweet Bonanza Saat RTP Paling Tinggi

Bukan Sekadar Hoki: Rahasia Menang di Sweet Bonanza Saat RTP Paling Tinggi

Buat pemain baru slot online, Sweet Bonanza sering jadi pilihan pertama karena tampilannya cerah, cara mainnya simpel, dan cerita “sekali free spin langsung manis” sering terdengar di mana-mana. Tapi kalau kamu cuma mengandalkan hoki tanpa paham konsep RTP (Return to Player), manajemen modal, dan cara membaca momentum, saldo bisa cepat habis. Artikel ini membahas rahasia bermain lebih pintar, bukan lebih nekat—supaya saat RTP lagi tinggi, kamu benar-benar siap memanfaatkannya, bukan cuma jadi penonton.

1. Pahami Dulu RTP Sweet Bonanza Sebelum Kejar Cuan


Banyak pemain baru yang langsung tancap gas main Sweet Bonanza hanya karena dengar RTP lagi naik, apalagi kalau main di platform yang sering mereka temui bareng nama besar seperti dewapoker dan dominobet. Padahal, RTP itu bukan tombol ajaib yang bikin kamu auto menang, tapi angka teoretis jangka panjang yang menunjukkan seberapa besar game “mengembalikan” nilai ke pemain dalam periode waktu panjang.

Selain itu, kamu juga perlu paham cara kerja fitur di Sweet Bonanza, terutama sistem tumble dan free spin dengan multiplier. Di sela-sela sesi bermain—baik kamu biasa login lewat rute yang menampilkan brand seperti slots paling gacor dewapoker asia perhatikan bagaimana satu spin bisa menghasilkan beberapa kemenangan beruntun karena simbol yang menang hilang dan digantikan simbol baru. Saat free spin aktif, multiplier warna-warni (kali 2, 4, 8, 25, bahkan lebih) bisa menempel ke total kemenangan. Di sinilah RTP “terasa” sedang tinggi ketika beberapa sesi beruntun memberikan hasil manis.

6-7.jpg (1920×712)

Terakhir, pahami bahwa RTP tinggi bukan jaminan menang per sesi, tetapi memberi indikasi bahwa dalam jangka panjang, game cenderung tidak “sekejam” game dengan RTP lebih rendah. Artinya, ketika kamu bermain dengan pola yang disiplin—bet wajar, durasi cukup, dan tahu kapan berhenti—kamu memberi dirimu sendiri kesempatan lebih baik untuk mendarat di momen manis Sweet Bonanza, terutama saat mesin sedang “royal” mengeluarkan tumble dan free spin.

2. Manajemen Modal: Kunci Rahasia Saat RTP Lagi Puncak


Saat mendengar RTP Sweet Bonanza lagi tinggi, banyak pemain—apalagi yang sering main di ekosistem yang juga menampilkan nama seperti dewapoker dan dominobet—langsung tergoda menaikkan bet besar-besaran. Padahal, yang jauh lebih penting adalah manajemen modal. Idealnya, kamu hanya menggunakan dana hiburan (uang yang siap “hilang” tanpa mengganggu kebutuhan hidup). Dari modal itu, tentukan base bet kecil, misalnya 0,2–0,5% dari total saldo per spin, agar kamu punya cukup banyak putaran untuk menunggu free spin muncul.

Setelah menentukan base bet, pecah sesi bermain menjadi beberapa blok spin (misalnya 30–50 spin per blok). Di sini, kamu mengamati apakah tanda-tanda RTP lagi “ramah” benar-benar terasa: tumble sering, simbol buah dan permen mudah connect, serta scatter sering nongol 3 biji. Banyak pemula yang bermain di platform yang tampilannya sudah akrab—sering disejajarkan dengan link alternatif dominobet terbaru merasa pola blok spin ini membantu mereka lebih fokus, karena bisa dengan mudah mengatur bet dan membaca ritme tanpa ribet dengan tampilan asing.

Kalau dalam beberapa blok spin tanda-tanda manis muncul (sudah sempat free spin, ada multiplier besar, atau saldo naik), saatnya kamu menerapkan profit lock: ambil sebagian keuntungan, turunkan kembali bet, dan jangan terpancing euforia untuk terus menaikkan taruhan. Sebaliknya, jika setelah beberapa blok spin saldo terus terkikis tanpa ada perbaikan, terapkan stop-loss (batas rugi) dan akhiri sesi.

3. Pola Main Cerdas: Baca Momentum, Bukan Cuma Ikut Hype


Rahasia lain bermain saat RTP Sweet Bonanza lagi tinggi adalah membaca momentum, bukan hanya ikut hype. Misalnya, setelah kamu login—entah lewat platform yang sering tampil bareng nama dewapoker maupun dominobet—kamu memulai sesi dengan bet kecil dan mencatat dalam 30–40 spin pertama: berapa kali muncul tease scatter, seberapa panjang tumble, dan apakah multiplier kecil (x2–x5) muncul meski di spin biasa. Kalau tiga indikator ini bergerak positif, barulah kamu punya alasan logis untuk sedikit menaikkan bet.

Saat momentum terasa sedang bagus, kamu boleh menggunakan pola step-up kecil, yaitu menaikkan bet 1–2 tingkat dari base bet, bukan langsung dua kali lipat. Di fase ini, fleksibilitas pengaturan bet—yang biasanya mudah dilakukan di platform yang juga menampilkan brand seperti slots gacor jackpot dewapoker membantumu mengontrol risiko. Jika free spin muncul dan membayar bagus, jangan ragu kembali ke bet awal atau bahkan lebih rendah untuk beberapa puluh spin berikutnya. Ini menjaga kemenangan tetap “nyata” dan tidak langsung terkikis.

Pada akhirnya, “rahasia menang” bukan soal menemukan jam gacor atau rumus pasti, tetapi menggabungkan pemahaman RTP, manajemen modal, dan pembacaan momentum. Pemain yang sabar, disiplin, dan mau mencatat pola hasil sesi akan jauh lebih siap memanfaatkan saat-saat Sweet Bonanza sedang benar-benar “paling manis”. Hoki tetap punya peran, tapi dengan pendekatan ini, kamu tidak hanya mengandalkan keberuntungan semata.

FAQ: Pertanyaan Umum Pemain Baru Sweet Bonanza

  1. Apa benar saat RTP tinggi, Sweet Bonanza pasti gampang menang?
    Tidak ada yang “pasti” di slot. RTP tinggi artinya dalam jangka panjang, game lebih banyak mengembalikan nilai ke pemain dibanding RTP rendah. Tapi per sesi, hasil tetap acak. Tugasmu adalah bermain lebih teratur saat indikasi momentum bagus terlihat.
  2. Berapa modal ideal untuk pemain baru?
    Tidak ada angka pasti, tapi yang penting: gunakan uang dingin (bukan uang kebutuhan), lalu atur base bet sekitar 0,2–0,5% dari saldo. Misalnya saldo 100.000, bet 200–500 rupiah per spin sudah cukup untuk sesi belajar yang aman.
  3. Lebih bagus spin biasa atau beli free spin di Sweet Bonanza?
    Untuk pemula, lebih aman spin biasa dulu. Beli free spin boleh dipertimbangkan ketika saldo sudah naik (profit) dan kamu siap menerima risiko tinggi. Ingat, beli free spin bisa memberi cuan besar, tapi juga bisa habis tanpa hasil.
  4. Apakah ada pola spin tertentu yang dijamin menang?
    Tidak ada pola yang menjamin menang. Pola hanya membantu kamu mengatur tempo, membaca momentum, dan mengelola modal. Yang terpenting adalah disiplin: tahu kapan menaikkan bet, kapan menurunkan, dan kapan berhenti.
  5. Kapan waktu terbaik untuk berhenti main?
    Setel target menang dan batas rugi sebelum mulai. Misalnya, berhenti jika sudah profit 50–100% dari modal atau jika rugi 30%. Begitu salah satu tercapai, akhiri sesi. Dengan begitu, kamu tidak terseret emosi dan tetap bermain secara sehat dan terkontrol.

Recommendations for after installing Linux (Mint) coming from Windows for best practices for a casual user ?


 Recommendations for after installing Linux (Mint) coming... #beginner #mint #tips #bestpractices

I finally bit the bullet and I'm giving Linux a second try, installed with dual boot a few days ago and making Linux Mint my default from now on.

There are a lot of guides and tips about the before and during the transition but not for after, so I was hoping to find some here.

Some example questions but I would like to hear any other things that come to mind:

I read that with Mint if you have a decent computer you don't need to do a swap partition? So I skipped that, but I'm not sure if I'd want to modify that swap file to make it bigger, is that just for giving extra ram if my hardware one is full? Because I have 48GB of ram and if I look into my System Monitor it says Swap is not available.

Was looking at this other post, and the article shared (about Linux security) seems so daunting, it's a lot. How much of it do I have to learn as a casual user that's not interested in meddling with the system much? Is the default firewall good enough to protect me from my own self to at least some degree? I was fine with just Windows Defender and not being too stupid about what I download and what links I click.

I was also reading about how where you install your programs or save your data matters, like in particular partitions or folders, is that just like hardcore min-maxing that's unnecessary for the average user that doesn't care to wait half a second extra or is it actually relevant? I'm just putting stuff in my Home folder.

Connected to the last two points: in that Linux Hardening Guide lemmy post I shared the TL;DR includes "Move as much activity outside the core maximum privilege OS as possible"... how do I do that? is that why people have separate partitions?

Downloaded the App Center (Snap Store) and I was surprised there was even a file saying to not allow it... why is that? Is it not recommended? Is it better to download stuff directly from their websites instead?

I know there is lots of guides and things because for clicks people like to write guides. However all the defaults on mint are sensible. You can pretty much install is stock and be done. You can use these guides if you want but they are optional. You can use flatpak, .deb, snap or whatever else you want to install things. I tend to use .debs when available and flatpaks as my backup. As a Linux user I haven't had to do all that much tweaking in years to be honest.

Half a dozen people said so already but I'll repeat :

backup your stuff.

You are like a tightrope walker on a high line without security. Sure the view is amazing, yes you feel free... but a misstep and that's it.

How? Well depends what your data is but start simple, copy your most important files, e.g. family photos, personal notes, etc (NOT HD movies from the Internet... not anything you can get elsewhere) on a USB stick you go stuffed in a drawer.

Once you DO have your stuff saved though, please, pretty please DO go crazy! Have fun, try weird stuff, bork your installation... and restart from a neat safe place. It's honestly amazing to learn, so deeply empowering for yourself and those around you. Just make sure your data don't suffer from it.

Saying something that gets ignored which is then 30 seconds later repeated by a man (who is brilliant for it)–needs some punch-up to fit on the card. 'Man applauded for rephrasing you' or to hyperbole 'man promoted for your idea'?

My Experience with Essay Writing Services: A Small Lifeline in a Loud Semester

I didn’t plan on turning to an essay writing service. Most of us don’t. It happens in that messy space between too many assignments and not enough hours, when the noise in your head gets heavier than the actual workload. I’d been pushing through a weird semester — the kind where professors kept shifting due dates, my job kept calling me for extra shifts, and my brain felt stretched thin. At some point I realized I wasn’t tired, I was drained. That was the first time I even considered using EssayWriterHelp.

I’d already heard the name on TikTok, shoved between campus memes, long rants about student debt, and a clip of someone reviewing paper writing services with a kind of comedic seriousness. It stuck in my head. EssayWriterHelp. A simple name. What surprised me when I finally went to the site was how calm it felt. No explosion of ads, no dramatic countdown timers pressuring me to buy immediately. Just a space that looked built for someone who needed help more than hype.

When everything hit at once


The moment that pushed me over was a sociology paper. Eight pages. Three sources had to be peer-reviewed. A thesis that “engages a modern social trend without oversimplification.” Whatever that meant in the professor’s world.

I was staring at a blank document after two shifts back-to-back. My hands felt cold. There’s a certain quiet panic that hits when you physically can’t write anymore, even if you want to. I opened EssayWriterHelp and placed the order. It felt almost anticlimactic.

What eased my nerves was the live progress tracking. A small bar that moved in steps. Research. Drafting. Editing. Revision. I checked it more often than I checked my messages. It grounded me. I didn’t need a miracle. I just needed something stable.

What mattered to me more than anything


The first real surprise was how quickly the writer reached out. A quick “Hey, want me to stick closer to your tone or keep it more formal?” It didn’t feel automated. It was small talk, but real.

I didn’t expect the interaction to feel so normal. The support chat worked the same way — short messages, human pacing. Some services talk to you like you’re calling your phone carrier. This didn’t.

One thing that made me stay with them after that first assignment was the flexibility. I had a lab rescheduled, and because of that the due date for a separate reflection paper changed. I adjusted the deadline inside the dashboard and it didn’t punish me for it. No extra charges.

The pricing itself was straightforward. I wasn’t rolling in money, but it didn’t feel like a trap. I picked a medium tier most times because I wanted some balance between cost and detail. It felt fair.

Lists I kept in my notes


For my own sanity, I started keeping personal lists of what mattered most in a service after that first order. These were the big ones:

List 1 — Basic reliability
Research done on time
Consistent communication
Revisions that don’t ignore what I asked

List 2 — Features that actually helped
Live progress tracking
Clear pricing
Friendly tone in chat

List 3 — Why I trusted it again
Good reviews from people who felt real
No “too good to be true” promises
Writers who asked questions instead of guessing

Comparing other names students mention


At one point, I tried browsing WriteMyPaperNyc. The branding looked sleek. The promises were polished. But it felt more like a storefront than a place for overwhelmed students. I didn’t place an order there. Something in me wanted something quieter, less salesy.

Another day, I checked Write My Essay SOS because someone mentioned it in a group chat. The site was fast, colorful, energetic. Maybe too energetic. My head was already buzzing, so I backed out before I convinced myself to stack two services. Sometimes you just stick with the thing that doesn’t raise your blood pressure.

I don’t think those other names are bad. They’re just not where I ended up. They didn’t match what I needed at the moment I needed help the most.

What the final outcome looked like


The sociology paper I ordered from EssayWriterHelp came back earlier than the deadline. I opened it expecting to rewrite entire sections, but the structure was solid. I tweaked the intro, added a quote I liked, and reworded some lines so it sounded more “me.” The professor gave me a B+, which felt like winning a tournament at that point. It wasn’t perfection. It was oxygen.

The more papers I ordered, the more I started treating them as study guides instead of finished products. I learned how to form stronger arguments by seeing how the drafts were organized. Something about reading a paper that wasn’t written in my tired, scrambled voice helped me slow down. I understood things better when I wasn’t drowning.

I know some people talk about ethics with a certain tone — sharp, clean, absolute. But real life is messier. Students today are juggling work, rent, burnout, family responsibilities, impossible coursework loads. People forget that mental health collapses quietly. Writing services don’t replace effort; they give you one calm space when everything else is loud.

Ending on the truth I didn’t expect


What I found in EssayWriterHelp wasn’t an escape from responsibility. It was relief from panic. A reset button. A tool that helped me stand up again after running on fumes for too long.

I won’t pretend it solved my whole semester. My sleep schedule still looked chaotic. My coffee spending tripled. But the service gave me room to breathe during deadlines that felt stacked on top of each other.

And maybe that’s the real use case. Not a miracle. Not cheating the system. Just surviving college without breaking apart.

If there’s anything I took away from the experience, it’s this: sometimes help isn’t a luxury. It’s the only thing that keeps you moving. And for me, that help came from EssayWriterHelp when I needed it the most.

Strategic Approaches to Boosting Secondary Spending in Modern Amusement Parks

Increasing secondary spending has become a crucial priority for parks seeking to strengthen revenue streams beyond ticket sales. As capital investment grows and guest expectations evolve, operators are compelled to design multilayered strategies that stimulate discretionary consumption throughout the visitor journey. Secondary spending is no longer an incidental outcome; it is a meticulously engineered process supported by behavioral insight, operational design, and product curation. The following analysis outlines practical, scalable, and data-driven approaches for elevating ancillary revenue in contemporary amusement environments.

Understanding the Dynamics of Secondary Spending


Secondary spending refers to all non-admission revenue generated during a guest’s stay, including food and beverage, souvenirs, premium experiences, and ride-related upgrades. The ecosystem supporting these transactions must be cohesive. A giant pendulum ride, for instance, is not merely a thrill attraction; it becomes a commercial catalyst when paired with thematic retail, photography stations, and immersive queue zones that encourage impulse purchasing. The interplay between attraction design and retail strategy often defines the overall performance of secondary revenue.

Amusement park equipment manufacturers have also begun integrating modular infrastructure that supports retail and F&B expansion. These capabilities enable operators to capture spending at moments of peak emotional engagement, such as post-ride exhilaration or pre-ride anticipation.

Designing Multi-Touchpoint Revenue Opportunities

1. Transforming Queue Lines into Retail-Ready Environments


Queue lines can evolve into transactional spaces without compromising throughput. Interactive displays, localized storytelling, digital photo previews, and collectible vending provide low-friction opportunities for purchase. When guests are captivated and stationary, they are more receptive to micro-consumption.

Short queues may appear desirable, yet longer dwell times—when enriched with thoughtful design—can drive incremental revenue. Deploying character-themed merchandise, ride-specific memorabilia, and seasonal exclusives within queue zones fosters a sense of scarcity and urgency.

2. Elevating Post-Ride Emotion into Immediate Purchase Intent


Guest emotions peak immediately after completing a high-adrenaline attraction such as a giant pendulum ride. This window is ideal for conversion.

Positioning retail kiosks and digital photo redemption areas along the exit corridor capitalizes on the heightened arousal state. A precisely timed layout—exit path → photo preview → merchandise offer—substantially increases conversion probability. Operators may further amplify this by offering limited-edition ride tokens or bundled packages such as “ride photo + collectible badge.”

Amusement park equipment manufacturers increasingly design attractions with optimized exit flows, knowing that retail positioning can materially influence guest behavior.

3. Themed Retail Integration


Themed retail linked directly to ride narratives transforms merchandise from commodity items into emotional souvenirs. A cohesive brand universe surrounding a signature attraction encourages guests to “take a piece of the story home.”

This is especially effective when:

  • The attraction has a strong visual identity
  • Merchandise reflects specific ride elements
  • Items are available only at that location

Such hyper-localized retail often outperforms generic offerings due to its exclusivity and perceived emotional value.

Food & Beverage Strategies That Stimulate Repeat Purchases

1. Mobile Ordering and Impulse-Driven Placement


Modern guests prefer convenience. Mobile ordering kiosks, QR-based menus, and app-integrated delivery points reduce friction while increasing average transaction value. When strategically positioned near major attractions, food outlets capture hunger as an impulse rather than a planned stop.

2. Signature and Limited-Time Menu Items


Exclusive food offerings tied to seasonal events or new attractions amplify visitor excitement. Guests are more likely to spend when a product is framed as rare or time-restricted. This strategy leverages psychological scarcity to enhance desirability.

3. Edutainment-Based F&B Concepts


Interactive snack stations, such as “make your own dessert” counters or open-kitchen formats, introduce experiential value that justifies higher price points. The fusion of entertainment with food transforms a commodity into an attraction.

Leveraging Technology for Higher Guest Conversion

1. Data-Driven Dynamic Pricing


Digital ticketing systems allow parks to adjust pricing for premium experiences, express passes, or ride upgrades based on demand. Dynamic pricing creates additional revenue while balancing operational capacity.

2. Cashless Ecosystems and Prepaid Credit


Cashless wristbands, smart cards, and app-linked accounts increase spending frequency by eliminating payment barriers. Preloaded credits, especially when bundled with tickets, often result in unspent balances—or additional discretionary purchases.

3. Photo and Video Personalization


Automated on-ride cameras now integrate with cloud platforms, enabling instant downloads, personalized video edits, and collectible digital content. Guests value convenience; digital delivery increases conversion compared to traditional printed photos.

Amusement park equipment manufacturers increasingly incorporate integrated media systems that allow seamless capture and distribution, transforming ride media into a major revenue pillar.

Creating Premium Experiences That Encourage High-Margin Consumption

1. VIP Zones and Priority Access


Charging for shaded seating, dedicated viewing areas, or fast-track access creates premium revenue opportunities. These offerings require minimal operational overhead yet generate substantial financial return.

2. Behind-the-Scenes Tours


Guests often enjoy learning about ride mechanics, maintenance practices, and design concepts. Tours anchored around high-profile attractions—like the engineering behind a giant pendulum ride—command strong interest and higher price points.

3. Exclusive Character or Mascot Interactions


Photo sessions, autograph moments, and mini-performances cultivate emotional connections. These events often drive merchandise sales, particularly when tied to collectible items available only during the encounter.

Storytelling as a Revenue Multiplier


Narrative-driven environments encourage deeper guest engagement. When attractions embody strong storytelling, visitors are more willing to purchase related products. Story-based merchandising also supports cross-promotion: a narrative introduced in one area can be expanded through apparel, collectibles, food products, and interactive experiences.

For instance, a themed zone anchored by a giant pendulum ride could extend its storyline across retail, dining, and entertainment. The more cohesive the story, the more naturally guests participate in secondary consumption.

Strategic Placement and Flow Optimization


Revenue is often determined by the physical layout of the park. Operators analyzing heat maps, guest movement patterns, and dwell times can position retail nodes at high-traffic intersections or transitional pathways.

Flow-optimized design includes:

  • Merchandise carts along popular walking loops
  • Pop-up stalls near parade routes
  • Snack stations at natural rest points
  • Retail positioned at attraction exits

When the environment gently guides guests toward consumption opportunities, secondary spending increases without aggressive sales tactics.

Final Thoughts


Increasing secondary spending is not an isolated tactic—it is an integrated strategy combining visitor psychology, operational engineering, thematic design, and retail innovation. By synchronizing these elements, parks can significantly elevate their financial performance without compromising guest satisfaction. Whether through experiential food concepts, narrative-driven merchandise, or technology-enabled convenience systems, the most successful operators treat secondary spending as an essential narrative thread woven throughout the entire guest journey.

I ain’t gonna lie to you
Life’s been fuckin life-ing
& I need a night or two
To get me unwinding

I feel like I’m stuck cycles everyday
Come & get me out this loop
So just switch it up for me
It’s time to get loose

If we disconnect
We ain’t gotta be aligned
We can redirect
Everything that on our minds

Let it go
Change up your frequency
& you’ll see how easily

You’ll disconnect
From everything that’s on your mind

Where’s my fuckin lighter crew
Put them up high then
Nows the time to raise the roof
We don’t need the fighting

When we’re getting stuck in cycles everyday
We know how to make it through
So just switch it up for me
It’s time to get loose

Granite Crushing From An Economic Perspective: Cost, Benefit, And Market Demand Analysis

Forget the old-school view of granite crushing as just a brute-force extraction game. In today's landscape, it's a sophisticated financial instrument, a play on infrastructure, urbanization, and smart capital deployment. The real story isn't in the quarry face; it's on the balance sheet. Understanding the economics of turning one of nature's hardest rocks into a suite of profitable products requires moving past simple tonnage calculations. It demands a sharp, analytical dive into a triad of forces: the capital and operational costs that form your baseline, the diverse and often premium revenue streams you can unlock, and the powerful, sometimes fickle, currents of market demand that dictate your ultimate success. Let's decode the modern economic engine of a granite crushing operation.

The Investment Equation: Unpacking Capex and the True Cost of Production


The initial moment of truth is your capital expenditure (Capex). This isn't just about buying a granite crusher machine; it's about architecting an entire production system tailored to granite's notorious abrasiveness. A robust circuit needs a primary jaw crusher for initial fragmentation, followed by a secondary cone crusher for precise shaping and cubical product yield. The choice here is strategic: a high-capacity stationary plant offers unbeatable volume efficiency for a long-life deposit, while a mobile setup provides the agility to service multiple, smaller sites or follow linear projects. The real financial character of your operation, however, is defined by its operational expenditures (Opex). This is where granite asserts its personality. Wear part consumption—manganese steel jaws, concaves, and blow bars—is a relentless and significant cost center. Energy intensity is another major factor; the process of comminution is inherently power-hungry. Your true cost-per-ton is a sum of these relentless inputs: energy, high-maintenance parts, skilled labor, and logistics. Mastering this equation is the first step from being a rock processor to becoming a profitable aggregate producer.

Beyond the Crush: Revenue Streams and the Premium Product Playbook


The most significant economic shift in the industry is the move from selling generic "aggregate" to cultivating a portfolio of specialized products, each with its own margin profile. Your primary revenue will always come from graded aggregates for concrete and asphalt, with prices scaling up for specification-grade material used in critical infrastructure. But the high-margin plays lie elsewhere. The manufactured sand (M-Sand) market is a major opportunity, especially in regions phasing out environmentally costly river sand mining. Producing consistently graded, high-quality M-Sand from granite fines turns a byproduct into a premium commodity. Furthermore, the dimension stone pipeline offers a parallel luxury market. High-quality, visually intact blocks can be diverted to slab producers, creating a lucrative sideline that operates on a completely different (and often more favorable) price matrix than bulk aggregate produced by aggregate crusher machine. This product diversification is your hedge against market volatility and the key to maximizing the intrinsic value locked within every cubic meter of granite.

Riding the Market Wave: Geopositioning and Future-Proofing Your Operation


Your financial destiny is ultimately tied to external demand cycles and your operation's strategic location. Granite aggregate through stone crusher machine processing is a direct derivative of construction activity, making it hypersensitive to the boom-and-bust cycles of infrastructure spending and real estate development. An operation positioned within the economic orbit of a growing urban center or a designated infrastructure corridor has a built-in advantage, minimizing crippling transport costs that can erase thin margins. This concept of geopositioning is critical. Being the closest, most reliable supplier to a high-demand zone is a more powerful asset than having the largest deposit. Furthermore, the competitive landscape is evolving. The rise of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) creates substitution pressure in certain applications, pushing savvy granite producers to emphasize their product's superior strength and durability for high-spec projects. Future-proofing means not just analyzing today's demand, but anticipating regulatory shifts, environmental mandates, and the growing premium placed on sustainable, locally sourced materials. In the final analysis, a profitable granite operation is one that expertly manages its internal cost engine while strategically navigating the external market ocean.

From Mine to Mixing Plant: The Mobile Crushing Investment Shift in Latin America

The journey of aggregates in Latin America, from their origin in a quarry to their final use in a concrete mixing plant or asphalt facility, is undergoing a profound transformation. Traditionally, this supply chain has been linear and centralized: large, stationary quarries feed distant construction sites via long, costly trucking routes. However, a confluence of economic, logistical, and environmental factors is disrupting this model, creating a new paradigm where flexibility and proximity are paramount. This shift is fundamentally altering the investment calculus for aggregate producers and contractors. No longer is the primary question merely about crushing capacity; it is about operational agility. At the heart of this transition is the strategic re-evaluation of crushing equipment, with the mobile stone crusher(trituradora movil de piedra) moving from a niche tool to a central component of a resilient and profitable supply chain strategy.

The Drivers of Change in the Aggregate Supply Chain


Several powerful trends are converging to reshape how aggregates are sourced, processed, and delivered across the region. Understanding these drivers is essential for making informed equipment investments.

First, rampant infrastructure development and urbanization are creating demand in geographically dispersed locations. Mega-projects like ports and highways coexist with countless smaller housing and road projects scattered across regions. A fixed plant often cannot serve these fragmented markets economically due to prohibitive transport costs. Second, environmental and social governance (ESG) pressures are intensifying. Communities are increasingly resistant to the dust, noise, and permanent landscape alteration of large-scale quarries, especially near urban areas. Obtaining permits for new fixed sites has become a lengthier and more uncertain process. Third, the push for sustainability is creating value in urban ore. Recycling construction and demolition (C&D) waste into recycled aggregates is now a viable business, but this material is generated in city centers, far from traditional quarrying zones.

These drivers collectively prioritize a supply chain that is shorter, more adaptable, and less environmentally intrusive. This new reality demands equipment that can capitalize on localized, temporary, or recycled material sources.

The Strategic Rise of Mobile Crushing Solutions


In this evolving landscape, mobile crushing and screening plants offer a compelling solution that directly addresses these new market imperatives. Their core advantage is the ability to bring the processing plant to the material source, rather than the other way around. This simple reversal of logistics unlocks multiple layers of value.

Decentralizing Production: The Economic Imperative


For a contractor working on a remote highway section or a mining company needing aggregates for on-site infrastructure, setting up a temporary crushing circuit with a mobile stone crusher is often the only economically viable option. The savings in trucking costs—which can represent over 50% of the delivered aggregate price—can justify the equipment investment on a single project. This model turns widely available, low-value raw rock deposits into high-value construction materials right where they are needed.

Enabling the Circular Economy on Site


The growth of C&D waste recycling is a major opportunity. A mobile impact rock crusher(trituradora de rocas) can be deployed directly at a demolition site or a designated urban recycling hub. It processes concrete, asphalt, and masonry rubble into specification aggregates for backfill, road base, or new concrete. This not only diverts waste from landfills but also creates a local, sustainable material source that decouples production from distant quarries. Investing in mobile equipment positions a company to capture this growing market segment.

Flexibility as a Risk Mitigation Tool


The ability to relocate equipment is a powerful hedge against market shifts. A fixed plant is a bet on a single deposit and a single market for a decade or more. A mobile fleet, however, can be moved to follow demand, exploit new temporary deposits, or pivot from producing virgin aggregate to processing recycled material as market conditions change. This flexibility reduces long-term investment risk.

Key Investment Considerations for Mobile Crushing


Moving from a fixed-plant mindset to a mobile one requires a different approach to capital allocation and operational planning. Here are critical factors for investors and operators.

Matching the Machine to the Material and Mission


Not all mobile crushers are the same, and selecting the right type is crucial for profitability.


  • For Primary Crushing of Hard Rock: A tracked jaw crusher is the robust, go-to solution for breaking down blasted granite, basalt, or hard limestone crusher(trituradora de piedra caliza) applications. It sets the stage for further reduction.
  • For Secondary/Tertiary Crushing and Shape: Mobile cone crushers are ideal for producing precisely graded aggregates for concrete and asphalt from pre-crushed material. They offer excellent control over the final product's shape and size.
  • For Recycling and Soft Rock: A mobile impact rock crusher excels at processing recycled concrete and asphalt, as well as softer materials like limestone. It offers high reduction ratios and good cubical shape in a single machine.

The choice between tracked (high mobility on-site) and wheeled (easier highway transport) platforms is another key decision based on the frequency of relocation.

Analyzing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)


The business case for a mobile stone crusher must look beyond the purchase price. A thorough TCO analysis should include:


  • Fuel Efficiency: Mobile plants with modern, tier-compliant engines and efficient hydraulic systems offer significant savings over their lifespan.
  • Maintenance and Downtime: Reliability and easy service access are paramount. Potential revenue lost during downtime often far outweighs the cost of purchasing a more reliable brand.
  • Resale Value: Quality mobile equipment from reputable manufacturers holds its value remarkably well in the active Latin American used-equipment market.
  • Production Versatility: The ability of one plant to produce multiple saleable products (e.g., various aggregate sizes, rip-rap, quarry waste) enhances its revenue-generating potential.


Navigating Operational Logistics


Success requires more than just the machine. Investors must plan for:


  • Site Logistics: Ensuring adequate space for the plant, feeders, stockpiles, and loading area.
  • Permitting: While often simpler than for fixed quarries, temporary operating permits for noise, dust, and water management are still required.
  • Skilled Operators: Technicians who understand both crushing principles and mobile equipment maintenance are essential for maximizing uptime and product quality.


Conclusion: Building a Resilient Future


The Latin American aggregate supply chain is being rewritten. The old model of centralized, fixed production is being supplemented—and in many cases, supplanted—by a dynamic, distributed network of mobile processing nodes. This shift presents a clear investment signal. Capital is increasingly flowing towards flexible, efficient mobile stone crusher solutions that can exploit local rock deposits, transform urban waste streams, and serve evolving infrastructure demands with agility.

For companies in the sector, the path forward involves recognizing that the value chain now extends "from the temporary mine to the mixing plant." Investing in mobile crushing is not just an equipment purchase; it is an investment in a strategic capability to build shorter, smarter, and more sustainable supply chains. It is an investment in the resilience needed to thrive in the dynamic markets of Latin America's future.

Cost Awareness: The Debate Between Price and Efficiency in the Procurement of Concrete Plant for Government Infrastructure Projects

The procurement of capital equipment for major government infrastructure projects, such as concrete batching plants, represents a critical juncture in public expenditure. A persistent and flawed paradigm in this process is the primacy of initial purchase concrete batch plant price as the primary, and often sole, determinant of vendor selection. This approach, while ostensibly prudent and transparent, frequently precipitates a cascade of negative financial and operational consequences that contravene the fundamental principles of responsible stewardship of public funds. The central procurement debate is not between price and efficiency as abstract concepts, but between a myopic focus on upfront capital cost and a rigorous, holistic analysis of total lifecycle value. The latter necessitates an analytical framework that evaluates efficiency, durability, operational expenditure, and project risk mitigation as integral components of the true cost of ownership.

AJM75 Concrete Batching Plant in Saudi Arabia for infrastructure Project

## The False Economy: Deconstructing the Low-Bid Procurement Fallacy
Awarding a contract based solely on the lowest compliant bid for a concrete plant is an exercise in fiscal shortsightedness. This model incentivizes [concrete batching plants manufacturers](aimixconcretesolution.com/conc…) to achieve a competitive price through the strategic de-rating of components, the use of unproven or substandard materials, and the minimization of engineering overhead. The resulting asset, while meeting the basic technical specifications on paper, is often fundamentally compromised in its operational robustness and longevity. The immediate "savings" secured during procurement are rapidly eroded by a higher incidence of mechanical failure, elevated energy consumption due to inefficient design, and exorbitant costs for proprietary or difficult-to-source spare parts. Furthermore, the operational inefficiency of such a plant manifests in lower-than-specified production rates, inconsistent mix quality, and excessive material waste. In the context of a time-sensitive infrastructure project, unplanned downtime is not merely a maintenance issue; it is a critical-path event that delays subsequent construction phases, incurs liquidated damages, and undermines public confidence. The low initial price becomes a misleading indicator, obscuring the substantial and predictable financial liabilities embedded in the asset's operational profile.

## The Lifecycle Cost Framework: A Mandatory Analytical Model
To transcend the limitations of price-only procurement, government agencies must mandate and implement a comprehensive Lifecycle Cost Analysis (LCA) for major equipment acquisitions. This analytical model requires vendors to provide verifiable data and substantiated projections across the asset's entire expected service life. Key quantifiable metrics must include mean time between failures (MTBF) for critical subsystems, projected energy consumption per cubic meter of concrete produced, labor requirements for operation and routine maintenance, and the long-term cost and availability of wear parts. The LCA must also account for the residual value of the equipment at the end of the primary project, accounting for its potential redeployment or resale. This framework shifts the evaluation from a single data point—the bid price—to a multi-variable equation that reveals the genuine economic footprint of the asset. A [wet mix concrete plant](aimixconcretesolution.com/conc…) with a 20% higher acquisition cost but a 40% reduction in energy use, a 30% longer service interval for major components, and a demonstrably higher residual value represents a profoundly better investment of public capital. The LCA transforms the procurement process from a reactive price comparison to a proactive value-engineering exercise.
## Strategic Procurement: Aligning Acquisition with Long-Term Public Value
Ultimately, the procurement of a concrete plant for a flagship infrastructure project must be aligned with the broader strategic objectives of the public works program. The equipment is not an isolated purchase but a foundational tool for project delivery. Its performance directly influences the timeline, budget, quality, and sustainability outcomes of the entire endeavor. A strategically procured plant, selected for its efficiency and reliability, acts as a risk mitigation instrument. It ensures consistent material supply, supports stringent quality assurance protocols, and enables the project to maintain its schedule. Furthermore, specifying equipment with lower carbon emissions and higher resource efficiency contributes to the government's environmental and sustainability mandates, creating public value beyond the immediate structure being built. The procurement criteria must, therefore, be weighted to reflect these strategic priorities. Evaluation matrices should assign significant value to proven reliability data, energy efficiency certifications, the depth of local technical support and parts inventory, and the manufacturer's commitment to training. This approach fosters competition on the basis of performance and long-term value, rather than a race to the bottom on initial price. It recognizes that the most expensive plant is often the one that costs the least to buy. For government infrastructure, where the stakes encompass fiscal responsibility, public safety, and national development, procurement decisions must be informed by total cost awareness, not merely price awareness.

Does anybody here owns a PineNote? How usable is it?

I want to take it as a tool for reading/writing/studying and super basic browsing. My phone just broke, chat control just got approved and I'm sick of proprietary shit: I decided I'm not gonna buy anything which doesn't hold free software anymore.

I love e-ink and I love Linux, but how usable is the pinenote with Linux? How hard is the install process? Can an average Linux user/self hoster use it daily? How's battery? Couldn't find many reviews online..

I lile my pinenote a lot. I mostly use it for reading.

As long as I'm reading or doing any touch-screen-y things (taking notes, viewing images, etc) it's great! For anything that involves writing/copying/pasting text, it's not very usable with just the on-screen keyboard, you really need an external bluetooth interface. I find web browsing very tedious if I have to type anything in the url bar without a physical keyboard.

Also, it's still very much a WIP. The version of Debian it shipped with had a bug where I couldn't install any software updates without deleting some random lib64 directory. Once I did that, everything was fine. The device has no security by default, so I created a new user with an encrypted HOME.

With import tariffs to the US, I ended up paying $500 for it, which really got me down. As a $400 open hardware machine, it would have been easier to look past the rougher edges. And I wish it had more RAM.

But overall it's worth it to me because I've wanted a more libre e-reader for a long time. It's gotten me back into reading books, which has been a lot of fun. Plus, because it's an actual computer, I set it up as a tablet-like interface to my home automations.

Had one from the start and also had a reMarkable 1, 2, Pro and e-readers with e-ink. I did discuss all that before so feel free to check my comment history. You can also check related prorotypes at fabien.benetou.fr/Tools/Eink including for the PineNote.

Now on your questions :

how usable is the pinenote with Linux?


Last time I check it didn't run well enough (basically CLI only) so I'm still on their stock Android OS. Worked great. According to other comments it seems fine now and I'm familiar with KOReader and a bit Xournal++ so I'll try again.

How hard is the install process?


Easy, I didn't do anything ;)

Can an average Linux user/self hoster use it daily?


Well in my case yes but again Android, so if you are familiar with it, e.g. adb then it's easy.

How’s battery?


Fine but power management kind of sucks so it will not go to sleep properly and thus waste battery. It's also heavy so honestly I wouldn't travel with it.

Couldn’t find many reviews online…


Again, I did share on Lemmy quite a bit. I do warmly recommend it if you are a tinkerer who doesn't travel too often. If you are a minimalist who wants to get things done then IMHO reMarkable is better.

Meanwhile, I read stories from other users here on the Fediverse who had grandparents who got fed up with Windows and installed Aurora; they just figured things out as they went and stuck with it.

So like you say, don't go too crazy right out of the gate. Get used to the new system, and learn a new way of doing things.

Yes but audio drivers still seem to be a common issue for everyone. That should really just be working out of the box by now it's insane.

His biggest issue was Premiere Pro not working on Linux, and Davinci Resolve not supporting the AAC Audio codec which VLC recorded in which he then wasted a ton of time on to get it to work and eventually tried to vibe-code his own video editor which didn't really work out so then he purchased Davinci Resolve premium to get AAC support.

How does discovery work in fedora server?

I can pull up cockpit by using the hostname in the web browsers url, but samba doesn’t point to the server by name. Only IP address pulls it up.

I don’t want to risk installing conflicting stuff but I’m not finding a lot of detail here. Does fedora have something for this included? Does it use avahi? Systemd-resolved? Smoke signals?

DRI_PRIME is an environment variable. DRI_PRIME=1 gimp is a bash syntax for setting an environment variable for a specific command execution, Whisker probably doesn't use shell commands, it's expecting an executable. So it's trying to look up a file named DRI_PRIME=1 in your PATH.

You're going to need to figure out if whisker has a way to set env vars for a command (I don't use it so not sure what it shows when you click the "Help" button). If not, you'll need to create an executable script file which executes your command with the environment variable set like you're attempting to do (DRI_PRIME=1 gimp), and then point whisker at your script.

Waiting some weeks for uncaught bugs to be ironed out might be advisable if you still have limited debugging capabilities.

Otherwise, you can always nixos-rebuild build-vm using the new release channel and see whether it breaks anything you depend on.
My experience is that it probably won't. My past few years of updating my server from one stable release to the next were, in one word, boring. Some renames, deprecations etc. with clear errors/warnings to fix at eval time but nothing that actually broke once it was built and deployed.

Beyond the release, Digg faced problems due to so-called "power users" who would manipulate the article recommendation features to only support one another's postings, flooding the site with articles only from these users and making it impossible to have genuine content from non-power users appear on the front page.[20]


A little piece of online history I didn't know: one reason Digg users migrated to Reddit was to escape power users manipulating content.

Ouch.

Becky Hill, Sonny Fodera - Never Be Alone

Lyrics

We’ve been stuck in the silence
Watching life passing us by
Slowly we’ve lost our minds somewhere inside these walls

Did you forget the feeling
Tryna find it staring at the ceiling
Slowly we’ve lost our minds somewhere inside these walls

I ain’t seen your face
We ain’t spoke for days
Let me lift you up
To restore your faith

It’s all that wanna do
If you let me

I wanna surround you with love
Can you remember that rush?
I know it’s been hard but now you’ll never be alone

I wanna surround you with love
Nothing else matters but us
I know it’s been hard but now you’ll never be alone

I ain’t seen your face
We ain’t spoke for days
Let me lift you up
To restore your faith

It’s all that I wanna do
If you let me

There’s no time wait
We can throw some shapes
If you’re feeling down
Come & walk this way

I built a tool for managing config files

So, some times ago I had this question feddit.it/post/22496010 about how to manage my system configuration, storing it on a repository or something.

Many people recommended using ansible to manage the system as a whole, but my system was already up and running, what I wanted instead was something to move around files while fixing up their permissions, so I build a python script for that.

The script grew more refined as time went on, and so now I'm publishing it so anyone can use it.

p.s.: this script is purely python and has no external dependencies!

How to manage configuration files


I'm trying to find a better solution to manage configuration files, both user's dotfiles and system files in /etc.
I'm running an ubuntu server where I have a bunch services with custom configurations, and systemd drop-in files, but on top of that I also have some scripts and user dotfiles that I need to track.

What I'm doing right now is that I have a folder full of symlinks in the admin user's directory (poor username choice, btw) and I'm using bindfs to mount this directory inside a git repository, this way git won't see them as symlinks, and will version them as regular files. The problem with doing this is that as git deletes and rewrites files, bindfs fails to track the changes and converts the symlink to regular files.

I looked into chezmoi, but that is only meant to track user dotfiles and will refuse to add a file from /etc, that is unless doing some extra work. But even so, chezmoi will not track the user:group of files, so I would still have to manage that manually.

I also looked into GNU Stow, and that would not complain about files from /etc or anywhere, but it similarly will not track permissions and I would have to manage that manually.

I see that some people are using ansible to manage dotfiles, but at that point, it would make sense to just migrate to ansible, except I don't want to rebuild my server from scratch to use ansible. Also it looks like a lot to learn.

Is there a better solution I'm not seeing? Maybe something using git hooks?

Edit:

I ended up using pre-commit and post-merge git hooks to launch a python script. The python script reads from a yaml file where I annotate the file paths and permissions, and then copies to or from the file location to the git repository.

I used the sudoers file to allow the admin user to run this specific script with specific arguments as root without password (because the git commands are run from VS Code and not manually), which is dangerous, be careful when doing that. I have taken special care to make this secure:
* I used absolute paths for everything, to avoid allowing running from a different pwd as a way to copy different files
* The script itself is installed in a root-owned location, so an unprevileged user cannot edit it
* The configuration yaml is root-owned, so an unprevileged user cannot modify which files are copied or their permissions
* Configuration files that can grant permission are not managed by this script (the yaml, /etc/passwd, /etc/groups, polkit rules, the sudoers file, ...)

Edit 2: you can find the python script here

Hey 😀 Thanks for sharing your project ! I'm still not 100% sure I need this because right now I just make backups of my dot files and config files and i'm relatively new with git and my self-hosted forgejo instance.

However, after experimenting the power of version control, i'm kinda interessted to host my dot/config files into my hosted forgejo instance ! But permissions and ownership are not natively supported and needs manual intervention !

Is that the issues your project is solving?

DID YOU skip the previous warning? Make sure you didn't skip it, as this might cause you to lose access to your own files!


😂🫡 Well written and funny documentation ! Thank you !

That's exactly it, and also the fact that git doesn't follow symlinks. Just a word of warning, If you are still inexperienced I suggest you run my tool manually instead of automating it with git hooks, as it is inherently less secure. In the post I linked in the description you can see some of the precautions I took to make it more secure.
Still, running it manually is fine.

Feel free to give some feedback if you start using the tool 🙂

And if you′d never come for me
I might've drowned in the melancholy
I swore my loyalty to me, myself and I
Right before you lit my sky up

It′s ′bout to be the sleepless night
You've been dreaming of
The fate of Ophelia

The eldest daughter of a nobleman
Ophelia lived in fantasy
But love was a cold bed full of scorpions
The venom stole her sanity

And if you′d never come for me
I might've lingered in purgatory
You wrap around me like a chain, a crown, a vine
Pulling me into the fire

Madonna - Don't Cry For Me Argentina

You're watching the official music video for "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" from Madonna's soundtrack album for the motion picture 'Evita' released in 1996.

Lyrics:
[Eva:]
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done

You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

Becky Hill, Lewis Thompson - Side Effects (Official Video)

Becky Hill x Lewis Thompson - Side Effects (Lyrics)

I been thinking
I been drinking
Anything that might anaesthetise the feeling

I ain’t joking
I think I’m broken
Something triggers me at any given moment

Wasn’t my plan
But it’s the truth
And it ain’t a phase that I’m going thru

All that I am
All that I do
Always seems to be revolving around you

Cos I could be alone or in the club
Or someone else’s bed
All I gotta do is think of us
And I get these side effects
Feeling like the more I’m moving on
The more I can’t forget
Every time
I get these side effects

People talking
And I’ve been dodging
Every question about you
Is so exhausting

Still got your number
Sometimes I wonder
Where you are tonight,
Who’s body you are under?

Wasn’t my plan
But it’s the truth
No it ain’t a phase that I’m going thru

It’s all that I am
It’s all that I do
Always seems to be revolving round you

All GNOME 45 features: youtube.com/watch?v=RQSA0nZaF6…

You'll get the whole new tiling assistant extension added, right out of the box. It expands on the edge tiling that GNOME already brings, by letting you do quarter tiling, so you have more flexibility in how you organize your workspace. You also can scale a window to use half of your screen's height, by dragging it to the bottom edge, or to the top edge.

Ubuntu 23.10 also comes with a brand new Ubuntu App Store, called the App Center. It's a really well designed application, and it won't stop you from installing apps from the Ubuntu repos, since debian packages are supported after all.

Ubuntu 23.10 also comes with a new firmware updater application. It uses the linux vendor firmware service as a backend, or course, so it's basically just a GUI for the FWUPD daemon.

The installer now defaults to a new install, with just the essentials. If you want the full complement of apps Ubuntu usually ships, then you'll have to select the "full install" option instead.

There's also a new experimental full disk encryption option that uses the TPM chip in your computer, if it has one.

And, of course, Ubuntu 23.10 ships with GNOME 45. First, the Activities button has been replaced with a workspaces indicator. Background apps have been improved in the quick settings, with the ability to click them to open a window, and a little indicator when closing an app. Still in the quick settings, you'll get a keyboard backlight toggle, that lets you turn that feature on or off, or select the brightness level you prefer. And, in the panel, you'll get a camera indicator when an app is accessing your webcam.

In terms of apps, there's a new split headerbar design for apps like Nautilus and the settings, and Nautilus gained improved search.

In the settings, you'll get a new system dialog, with more information about your computer, and an easy clickable button to copy all that information. There's also a new Privacy page, better designed, and a few otehr pages have been touched up, like with virtually every release of every desktop environment.

Finally, the compositor, Mutter, gained support for YUV color space, so it should handle certain movies and shows much better, and it now has a separate thread to handle the mouse pointer under wayland, which will result in a lot less lag and input delay, so that's a big improvement.

Under the hood, 23.10 ships whit the Linux kernel 6.5, so you should get the latest hardware support, and a bunch of performance improvements. Mantic Minotaur will be supported for 9 months, as it's not an LTS release, so it's only suitable if you don't mind running big upgrades regularly.

The flavour with the most changes is Ubuntu budgie, which updates to Budgie 10.8. THis has a new trash applet, the new Magpie compositor to better support X11 while Budgie plans its transition to being Wayland only, a new dialog to get super user permissions, support for performance modes in the power applet, plus some theme refinements with a green accent color by default, and a lot of smaller changes to the control center, the applets, support for Raspberry Pi, more themes being bundled out of the box, and more.

Ubuntu Cinnamon moves to Cinnamon 5.8.4, which will give you touchpad and touchscreen gestures, with a lot of configuration options, the new global dark mode setting, better support for desktop portals and flatpak apps. You get the new styles feature.

Other flavours are stuck on the same version of heir respective DEs and don't bring many changes apart from the internals.

Does anyone know how to fix this?[SOLVED]

By this I mean the psensor applet icon (second from the left) being to big.

I was messing arround trying to customize my desktop and i followed a guide on how to install and setup latte-dock (kde).
Long story short, i failed removed latte (although I think it may have left some stuff behind) and when I restored my cinnamon panel the icon was like this. I've already restored the system with timeshift but it made no difference and tried to set "symbolic icon size" in panel settings but it completely ignores it. I googled for a solution but cant find any :c

Any ideas?

P.S. If I set panel height too small, all the applet icons go halfway off screen through the bottom, something they didnt used to do.

SOLVED: Using this comand:

gsettings reset-recursively org.cinnamon

Reverts the icons to their normal behaviour. Thanks to potatoguy

Revenue Pathways in Modern Biochar Production Projects

Biochar production is no longer confined to agricultural soil improvement. It has matured into a multifaceted carbon-management industry capable of generating diversified revenue streams. A modern pyrolysis plant purpose-built for biochar output, enables operators to capitalize on energy recovery, carbon-credit issuance, specialty material applications, and waste-management fees. These pathways collectively establish a robust economic structure that can sustain capital-intensive infrastructure while addressing environmental imperatives.

Carbon Credit Monetization as a Primary Revenue Anchor

High-Integrity Carbon Removal


Biochar is recognized as a long-term carbon sink due to its highly aromatic, stable carbon matrix. This stability allows projects to qualify for engineered carbon removal credits that command premium prices in voluntary carbon markets. Recent methodologies require verified mass-balance data, lifecycle emissions accounting, and consistent quality control from feedstock procurement through final application.

dMRV-Enabled Transparency


Digital measurement, reporting, and verification practices accelerate credit issuance and reduce administrative delays. By integrating sensor networks and automated reporting into a biomass pyrolysis plant, operators can deliver precise carbon-removal documentation. High-integrity verification increases market access and enhances pricing leverage.

Biochar as a Commercial Material Across Sectors

Agricultural Enhancement Products


A significant revenue stream stems from selling biochar as a soil amendment. Its capacity to increase cation-exchange capability, improve water retention, and stabilize nutrients places biochar in high demand among regenerative-farming initiatives. Blended soil additives—such as biochar-compost mixtures or nutrient-charged carbon granules—often command higher market prices.

Industrial Additives and Specialty Applications


Biochar’s micro-porosity and thermal stability enable its utilization in filtration, construction materials, catalyst support, and polymer composites. Specialty-grade char produced under controlled conditions can enter markets with significantly higher margins than standard agricultural products. Such diversification minimizes demand volatility.

Energy Recovery and By-Product Commercialization

Syngas Utilization


During pyrolysis, a substantial fraction of biomass converts into non-condensable gases. These gases can fuel the reactor itself, reducing external energy consumption. Excess syngas may be used to power auxiliary equipment or generate electricity, depending on regulatory allowances.

Bio-Oil and Condensate Derivatives


Condensable vapors collected during thermal decomposition form bio-oil, a complex mixture of organics. Though often challenging to refine, bio-oil can serve as a combustion fuel, a precursor for chemical extraction, or an input for industrial heating systems. Where market demand aligns with regional regulations, bio-oil contributes an additional revenue layer.

Waste-Management Fees and Circular-Economy Incentives

Feedstock Intake Revenue


A biochar pyrolysis machine configured to accept agricultural residues, forestry waste, or sorted organic biomass can receive tipping fees from municipalities or private generators. This effectively converts feedstock procurement from a cost center into a profit driver.

Circular-Economy Subsidies


Governments increasingly incentivize carbon-negative processes and renewable-material production. Grants, low-interest loans, and tax credits are commonly available for projects that align with national biomass-utilization policies. These incentives strengthen long-term profitability.

Operational Efficiency as a Profit Multiplier

Consistent Feedstock Quality


Stable, low-contaminant biomass ensures predictable carbon yields and reduces maintenance costs. Establishing supply agreements with forestry operators or biomass aggregators improves feedstock consistency and cost control.

Process Optimization


Temperature regulation, residence-time management, and advanced reactor design influence product yield. Optimized thermochemical conditions increase char output, reduce fuel consumption, and limit downtime—directly amplifying profit margins.

Strengthening Economic Resilience Through Diversification


Biochar production projects thrive when revenue does not depend on a single market. Carbon credits offer high-value returns but fluctuate with global policy sentiment. Agricultural additives are stable but price-sensitive. By leveraging multiple income pathways—from material sales to waste-management fees—operators build a resilient revenue framework.

A well-designed pyrolysis plant, supported by efficient operations and diversified market channels, establishes biochar production as both environmentally restorative and financially enduring.

Hormonal Changes and Their Impact on Gum Health


 This article explores how different life stages, from puberty to menopause, impact gum health and offers practical advice on maintaining optimal oral care. If you ever need professional guidance, a dentist at Clementi or a dentist near Clementi can provid

Hormonal changes are a natural part of life, influencing not only our mood and energy levels but also our oral health. The gums are particularly sensitive to these changes due to their rich blood supply and strong immune presence. As hormone levels fluctuate, the gums can become more sensitive, inflamed, or slower to heal. This article explores how different life stages, from puberty to menopause, impact gum health and offers practical advice on maintaining optimal oral care. If you ever need professional guidance, a dentist at Clementi or a dentist near Clementi can provide valuable insights and treatment options.

The Role of Hormones in Gum Health


Gum tissue is highly responsive to hormonal changes because it is rich in blood vessels and immune cells. When estrogen or progesterone levels change, blood flow to the gums can increase, making the tissue more reactive and prone to inflammation. While hormones alone do not cause gum disease, they can amplify the gums' response to plaque, leading to varying symptoms even among individuals with similar oral hygiene habits.

Puberty: The First Major Hormonal Shift


Puberty marks the beginning of significant hormonal changes, making gums more reactive to plaque. Many teenagers notice red, swollen, or bleeding gums, even if their brushing habits remain consistent. This increased sensitivity is not always a sign of poor hygiene but can be exacerbated by inconsistent brushing, sugary snacks, and orthodontic appliances. Regular dental visits and consistent brushing routines are crucial for managing early inflammation and preventing long-term issues.

Pregnancy: A Time of Extreme Hormonal Changes


Pregnancy brings about some of the most dramatic hormonal shifts, significantly impacting gum health. Elevated levels of estrogen and progesterone increase blood flow to the gums and alter the immune system's response. Pregnant individuals often experience more bleeding and puffiness, and some may develop small, harmless overgrowths known as pregnancy tumors. Existing gum disease can also worsen rapidly during this period, making regular cleanings and check-ups essential. A dentist at Clementi or any dentist near Clementi can provide safe and effective care throughout pregnancy.

Oral Contraceptives: Mild but Noticeable Effects


Modern contraceptive pills contain lower hormone doses than their predecessors, but some users still notice increased gum sensitivity or bleeding after starting or switching brands. While these symptoms are generally milder than those experienced during pregnancy, they can still be bothersome. If symptoms appear shortly after starting a new prescription, it is advisable to consult both your dentist and your doctor. Consistent plaque control often helps alleviate these issues.

The Menstrual Cycle: Predictable Fluctuations


Gum sensitivity is common in the days leading up to menstruation, with some individuals experiencing slight swelling or tenderness that resolves once their period begins. This temporary increase in inflammation is typically due to hormonal shifts and is not a sign of disease. Gentle but thorough cleaning during these days can help minimize discomfort.

Perimenopause and Menopause: Long-Term Changes


The hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause lead to gradual but lasting alterations in oral health. Declining estrogen levels cause gum tissue to become thinner and drier, and saliva production often decreases. Dry mouth increases the risk of plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum irritation. Additionally, lower estrogen levels affect bone density, including the jawbone that supports the teeth. Monitoring gum health and bone support becomes increasingly important during these stages. If you notice dryness, bleeding, or tooth mobility, a visit to a dentist near Clementi can help identify early signs of gum disease or bone loss.

Hormonal Changes and Gum Disease


Gum disease begins with plaque buildup, but hormonal fluctuations can accelerate the progression from irritation to inflammation. During periods of significant hormonal activity, such as puberty, pregnancy, or perimenopause, even small amounts of plaque can cause a stronger reaction. Maintaining good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and visiting the dentist, is crucial for preventing long-term tissue damage.

Practical Tips for Protecting Gum Health


Consistent daily care forms the foundation of gum health at any age. Brushing with a soft brush, flossing regularly, and scheduling regular dental exams are essential. During periods of increased gum sensitivity, it is helpful to avoid habits that exacerbate inflammation, such as smoking. Staying hydrated is particularly important during menopause when dry mouth is more common. Individuals with medical conditions like diabetes may require closer monitoring, as both hormones and blood sugar levels influence gum inflammation.

When to Seek Professional Help


While it is normal for gums to change with hormonal fluctuations, persistent or worsening symptoms should not be ignored. Signs such as constant bleeding, ongoing swelling, persistent bad breath, or loose teeth may indicate underlying issues. A timely check-up with a dentist at Clementi or another dentist near Clementi can help identify and treat gum disease early, preventing permanent damage.

Conclusion


Hormonal changes are an inevitable part of life, and understanding their impact on gum health can help alleviate concerns and guide appropriate care. By maintaining steady daily oral hygiene practices and seeking periodic professional guidance, you can keep your gums healthy through all stages of life, from puberty to menopause and beyond.

A Guide to Choosing Crushing Plants in Peru Amid Rising Fuel, Labor, and Transportation Costs

Peru's mining and construction sectors continue to demonstrate robust growth, but operators face significant challenges from escalating operational expenses. With fuel prices increasing by approximately 18% over the past two years, labor costs rising steadily, and transportation expenses becoming increasingly volatile, selecting the right crushing equipment has never been more critical for maintaining profitability. This guide provides practical strategies for choosing crushing plants that optimize operational efficiency and minimize the impact of rising costs in the Peruvian market.

Understanding Peru's Unique Operational Environment


Peru's diverse geography, from coastal operations to high-altitude mining sites in the Andes, creates distinct challenges for crushing operations. The country's infrastructure limitations, particularly in remote mining regions, further complicate equipment selection decisions. Operators must consider not only initial purchase prices but also long-term operational costs, maintenance requirements, and equipment adaptability to varying site conditions. Understanding these factors is crucial for making informed decisions that will impact profitability for years to come.

Evaluating Equipment Efficiency in Current Economic Conditions

Fuel Efficiency as a Primary Selection Criterion


With diesel prices reaching historical highs in Peru, fuel consumption has become one of the most significant operational cost factors. When evaluating potential equipment, consider engines with advanced fuel injection systems and power management technology. Modern crushing plants often incorporate eco-mode operations that automatically adjust engine speed to match processing demands, typically reducing fuel consumption by 15-25% compared to conventional systems. For operations running multiple shifts, these savings can amount to thousands of dollars monthly, directly offsetting rising fuel expenses.

Maintenance Accessibility and Labor Optimization


Labor costs in Peru's mining sector have increased approximately 12% over the past three years, making equipment that requires minimal maintenance staffing increasingly attractive. Look for crushing plants with centralized grease points, hydraulic adjustment systems, and easy-access maintenance platforms that reduce service time. Modular component designs can further minimize downtime by enabling quick replacement of wear parts. When considering a stone crusher Peru(chancadora de piedra Perú)-based operations should prioritize models with local technical support and readily available spare parts to avoid extended equipment downtime.

Strategic Equipment Selection for Cost Management

Mobile Versus Stationary Plant Considerations


The choice between mobile and stationary crushing plants has significant implications for transportation and relocation costs. A well-chosen mobile stone crusher plant(planta chancadora movil) can eliminate multiple material handling steps and reduce trucking requirements by processing material directly at the extraction face. For operations spanning multiple sites or requiring periodic relocation, mobile plants typically offer 20-30% lower total operating costs despite higher initial investment. Evaluate your project timeline, material volume, and site geography to determine the optimal balance between mobility and processing capacity.

Production Capacity Matching to Avoid Underutilization


Oversized equipment represents one of the most common sources of unnecessary cost in Peruvian operations. Carefully analyze your actual production requirements rather than opting for maximum capacity. An appropriately sized plant operating at 80-90% capacity typically delivers better efficiency than an oversized unit running at 40-50%. Consider modular systems that can be expanded as production requirements increase, avoiding the substantial capital outlay for capacity that may not be needed for several years.

Leveraging Regional Market Opportunities

Considering Used Equipment from Neighboring Markets


The similarities in operating conditions and material characteristics across Andean countries create opportunities for cost-effective equipment sourcing. An aggregate crusher plant for sale in Chile(planta chancadora de aridos venta Chile) may offer substantial value, particularly given the comparable mineral compositions and altitude considerations. Many Chilean operations maintain equipment to high standards, and geographic proximity can reduce transportation costs compared to sourcing from other regions. Always verify equipment maintenance history and ensure compatibility with local support networks before purchasing internationally.

Local Support and Parts Availability


The availability of local technical support and spare parts significantly impacts operational costs through reduced downtime and lower repair expenses. Evaluate potential suppliers based on their service network within Peru, parts inventory levels, and technician response times. Establish relationships with suppliers who maintain comprehensive parts inventories in-country rather than relying on international shipments that can take weeks to arrive. This consideration becomes particularly crucial for operations in remote areas where equipment downtime can cost thousands of dollars per hour.

Operational Strategies to Mitigate Cost Pressures

Site Planning and Material Flow Optimization


Strategic site layout can substantially reduce fuel consumption and equipment wear. Position crushing plants to minimize material rehandling and optimize loader cycle times. Consider implementing direct feed systems where possible, and utilize natural topography to reduce the need for elevated conveyors or additional material handling equipment. For operations using a mobile stone crusher plant, develop a systematic approach to plant positioning that minimizes travel distances between processing areas while maintaining safety and operational efficiency.

Technology Integration for Efficiency Gains


Modern monitoring systems provide valuable data for optimizing crushing operations in real-time. Load-sensing hydraulics, automatic setting adjustments, and production monitoring systems can increase throughput while reducing fuel consumption and wear part costs. These systems typically pay for themselves within 6-18 months through improved efficiency and reduced maintenance costs. For operations considering a new stone crusher Peru-based technology providers can demonstrate specific return-on-investment calculations based on local fuel and labor rates.

Financial Considerations and Total Cost of Ownership

Lifecycle Cost Analysis Beyond Purchase Price


Equipment selection should be based on comprehensive lifecycle cost analysis rather than initial purchase price alone. Calculate total ownership costs including fuel consumption, maintenance requirements, expected downtime, resale value, and parts availability. This approach frequently reveals that higher-quality equipment with better fuel efficiency and reliability delivers significantly lower costs over a 5-7 year operational period, despite higher initial investment.

Financing Options and Economic Uncertainty


Given Peru's evolving economic landscape, consider flexible financing options that preserve capital while enabling equipment acquisition. Many manufacturers offer operating leases or rental-purchase agreements that provide predictable monthly costs while protecting against equipment obsolescence. These arrangements can be particularly valuable during periods of economic uncertainty, allowing operations to maintain modern, efficient equipment without substantial capital commitment.

Implementation and Operational Transition

Phased Implementation Strategies


For operations replacing existing equipment, consider phased implementation to minimize production disruption. Begin with the most critical bottleneck in your processing circuit, then systematically upgrade additional components. This approach spreads capital investment over time while delivering incremental efficiency improvements. Document performance metrics at each stage to validate equipment selection decisions and refine subsequent procurement choices.

Operator Training and Efficiency Culture


Equipment efficiency depends heavily on operator skill and awareness. Implement comprehensive training programs that emphasize fuel-efficient operation, proper maintenance procedures, and production optimization techniques. Consider incentive programs that reward operators for achieving specific efficiency targets, creating organizational alignment around cost control objectives. These human factors often deliver substantial returns with minimal capital investment.

Conclusion: Strategic Adaptation to Economic Realities


Selecting crushing equipment in Peru's current economic environment requires careful analysis of both technical specifications and operational cost structures. The most successful operations will be those that prioritize fuel efficiency, maintenance accessibility, and operational flexibility in their equipment selection process. By taking a comprehensive view of ownership costs and implementing strategic operational practices, Peruvian operators can not only survive current cost pressures but emerge with stronger, more competitive operations.

The perfect crushing plant for your operation balances processing capacity with operational efficiency, matches your specific site conditions and material characteristics, and aligns with your long-term business strategy. While economic challenges create pressure to reduce capital expenditure, remember that strategic investment in efficient, modern equipment often represents the most effective response to rising operational costs. By making informed, data-driven equipment selection decisions today, Peruvian operators can position themselves for sustained profitability regardless of economic conditions.
