Replacing overhead crane parts is a routine but high-stakes task. Prioritize safety by using quality crane parts from a trusted crane parts supplier and following these protocols without exception. This ensures your team’s safety and your crane’s long-ter
Replacing parts on an overhead crane is a high-risk maintenance task that requires unwavering focus on safety. Mistakes during a hoist motor or brake replacement can result in injuries, equipment failure, or significant downtime. Following established safety protocols is crucial for a successful repair.
Here’s a concise guide to the essential safety steps for replacing overhead crane components.
1. Shut Down and Lock Out Everything
Start by completely powering down the crane. Shut off all energy sources—electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic—as applicable.
Apply lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures to secure the system against accidental startup. Verify the lockout by testing the controls to ensure the crane remains inactive.
2. Inspect the Area First
Before beginning work, carefully inspect the work area. Identify hazards like leaking fluids, frayed wires, or scattered tools. Mark all drop zones clearly.
Set up barriers or post warning signs to keep non-essential personnel out, ensuring a secure repair zone.
3. Use the Right Tools—and Know How to Use Them
Choose tools specifically suited for the task and capable of handling the job’s demands. Never use damaged or improvised tools.
Check tools for wear before use—a worn sling or faulty wrench can cause accidents. If you’re unfamiliar with a tool’s operation, seek training or assistance.
4. Wear the Proper PPE
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is non-negotiable for crane repairs. Required gear includes:
Hard hat
Steel-toe boots
Safety goggles
Heavy-duty gloves
High-visibility vest
Hearing protection (if necessary)
For work at height, use certified fall protection equipment, ensuring proper anchoring of harnesses and lanyards.
5. Get the Right Crane Parts
Using quality crane parts is critical for both safety and performance. Low-quality or non-certified parts may fail under stress, endangering workers and equipment.
Source all components from a reputable crane parts supplier to guarantee durability and adherence to standards. Skimping on quality is a risky mistake.
6. Follow Manufacturer Instructions
When replacing parts like wheels, brakes, or hoist motors, follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines precisely. These instructions prevent errors that could lead to equipment failure.
If documentation is missing, contact the supplier or manufacturer for support. Avoid improvising at all costs.
7. Communicate Clearly
Effective communication is essential for safety. Ensure all team members understand:
Which part is being replaced
Who is responsible for the work
When testing will occur
Which areas are restricted
Use radios, hand signals, or posted warnings to keep communication clear and consistent.
8. Test the System Before Returning to Service
Once the part is installed, test the crane carefully. Begin with a no-load test to confirm smooth operation, checking for any faults or irregularities.
Proceed with a light-load test under controlled conditions. If all tests pass, document the repair and resume normal operations. If issues arise, halt and troubleshoot.
9. Keep Records
Document every replacement, noting the part, date, technician, supplier, and test outcomes. These records help identify recurring issues and streamline maintenance.
Detailed logs also enhance safety by ensuring traceability during inspections and audits.
Final Thought
Replacing overhead crane parts is a routine but high-stakes task. Prioritize safety by using quality P&H crane parts from a trusted crane parts supplier and following these protocols without exception. This ensures your team’s safety and your crane’s long-term reliability.

Doesn't explain the insane increase in autism. Sorry, I'm not buying that the vaccinations aka jabs aren't causing all the health issues including autism.
One has to accept we are and have been at war. All that has taken place were acts of war against humanity. Diet & metabolism doesn't address the issue unless you accept that our food was & is being poisoned, chem trails, jabs being given to cattle, pigs, etc. All done by design & on purpose. This is far more sinister & evil than you seem to be accepting of.

So how does getting all those vaccines affect ones gut biome because the statistical relationship between vaccines, particularly in the first six months, and autism is not trivial. It's not incomprehensible that abusing the holy fuck out of an undeveloped immune system could cause it to turn against otherwise healthy gut bacteria.
At any rate it's not necessarily an either/or relationship but an and this leads to that relationship.

Karl Jobst was so smug about his imminent victory in that video. He gaslit himself into thinking the world had a grudge against Billy Mitchell for cheating at Donkey Kong.

With the Nintendo Switch 2 now having been fully unveiled, and in fact only being 2 months away, I thought it was time to pay tribute to the original Switch (not calling it Switch 1 just yet) by going over my Top 30 games for the console. But first, some ground rules:
1) Switch exclusives/Switch definitive editions ONLY – while the Switch has actually enjoyed surprisingly good 3rd party support (the best for a Nintendo console since the SNES), I want this list to be reserved for games that have both come to define the Switch, and have themselves become defined by the Switch. So ultimately, this list will only contain Switch exclusives and games whose indisputably best versions are Switch-exclusive. I do this partly because it just makes sense to me, and partly to make this less of an absolute monster, because WITH multiplatform 3rd party games that I have played on the Switch, I might have been forced to bust out a Top 50, or a Top 60 list.
But just for the record, here are some of my favorite 3rd party Switch games: Dragon Quest XI, Final Fantasy VII, Ys VIII, Okami HD, Persona 5 Royal, Witcher 3, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Disgaea 5, Danganronpa Decadence, Portal: Companion Collection, Nier: Automata, Skyrim, Tales of Vesperia, Rayman Legends, Bug Fables, Dead Cells and SteamWorld Dig 2.
It’s not *only* 3rd party games being affected by my rule tho: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a superb 2D platformer that would be a Top 15 contender, but the Switch version of the game is barely even an improvement over the (cheaper) Wii U original, so I don’t think said Switch version deserves to qualify. The ports, remasters and remakes that HAVE qualified all represent much more substantial improvements, though in different ways.
2) Only games that I’ve completed are on this list – and in the case of multiplatform games that I’ve played before, I still need to have completed the Switch version of it. So no Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, which I’m “only” 60 hours into so far – which also spares me having to argue about whether or not this version is ACTUALLY superior to the uncensored Japanese Xenoblade X on the Wii U. Of course, people who know me can probably figure out that even without X, the Xenoblade series will still show up in force on this list.
Other games that might have made the Top 30 if I had finished them in time are Bayonetta 3, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Paper Mario: The Origami King, Super Mario RPG and Mario & Luigi: Brothership – tho the only one I’m absolutely confident in making the list is Bayo 3.
3) Paid DLC is not being considered when judging the game – in this context I consider Paid DLC to be somewhat akin to performance enhancing drugs, and won’t be allowing it to influence the rankings. While this didn’t end up having a massive impact overall, #23 on the list WOULD have made the Top 20 if its Paid DLC was included, and #3 and #4 would have swapped places. Ultimately tho, I prefer the way this list looks with the No Paid DLC rule in place.
Other bits of useful info: I will be posting each game’s Based Morality Score to give you an idea of how it stacks up in terms of Culture War/Poz, but I won’t necessarily elaborate on my rating, so feel free to ask about my reasoning for specific games if you’re curious.
In the cases where I’ve already done writeups of the games in question, I will be linking to said writeups. Why not have all the games I’ve already written about just be represented by the links to the main writeup? Because it’d be lazy, because it would lead to a very inconsistent-looking thread, and because I think there’s still real value in having a mini-review to go along with my much more in-depth writeup. It’s also a nice little personal challenge.
As much as I wish Nintendo would give WarioWare a break and instead show the Wario Land series some love (there was NO good reason to give us WarioWare: Move It! instead of Wario Land 6, come on now…), Get It Together was actually a damn fine entry in the series. This game’s big change to the core formula, namely making the WarioWare cast actively participate in their own micro-games, was in my opinion wholly successful, and really helped this game get the most out of its wacky characters and setting. And even apart from that, this is a super solid WarioWare game: the micro-games are suitably varied and nutty, chasing high scores is fittingly addictive, the presentation is slick, and overall this is easily the most fun I’ve had with WarioWare since Mega Microgame$! on the GBA, aka the very first game in the series.
Based Morality Score: Neutral
Other honorable mentions: Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Yoshi’s Crafted World and ARMS.
DISHONORABLE mentions: Pokemon Sword/Shield, fuck this game, for real. In fact, ALL the mainline Pokemon Switch games belong here, even without having played them I’m confident in this judgement: Let's Go, Pikachu and Eevee was unbelievably unnecessary and shamefully dumbed down, Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl was hideous and actively worse than 2008’s Pokemon Platinum, and Scarlet/Violet was borderline unplayable.
And with that out of the way, it’s time to begin our main event! I will be starting with #30, and work my way up to the top from there.

@ArdainianRight It's definitely better than I remembered - as an open world game X absolutely mogs Breath of the Wild (and back in 2017 I'd definitely had said that BotW was the superior game), and probably TotK too. I seriously doubt whether any of the people being so blown away by BotW ever played Xenoblade X. The soundtrack also contains a fair few bangers that I'd straight up forgotten about.
Right now it's probably on track to be ranked #6 on that list, but I'm still only between Chapters 9 and 10. And while I'm trying to avoid Spoilers, it seems that the new Epilogue is going over well.
@William_The_Dragonborn @ArdainianRight Reminder that Nintendo is literally the reason Xenoblade even exists in the first place. Monolith Soft getting bought by Nintendo also resulted in them actually being empowered to make the games they envisioned for the first time ever, without massive compromises and cutbacks.
@ArdainianRight Before replaying X I was kinda dubious of all those "X is the best-looking Xenoblade game" claims that have been going around since 2017-2018, thinking they were just due to 1) Nostalgia and 2) X being more "realistic-looking", which to some people automatically makes it better-looking.
However, the amount of X screenshots I find myself taking do suggest that the hype was indeed justified - though just how much of that is due to the Switch upgrades and resolution bump is hard to say.
@ArdainianRight @William_The_Dragonborn Valve does shady shit aplenty, like when they helped bully that one anti-tranny dev off Steam, the difference is that when that happens Fedi looks the other way.
I never really get into how incredibly BORING I find the "PC Master Race Crowd", but there's a reason I never signal boost them.
@ArdainianRight The singular obsession with the Censorship becomes kinda dumb when I've yet to see a single mainstream JRPG with as strong of a fanservice game as X.
And as much as I disagree with the Avatar protagonist approach, it's extremely refreshing to see the character's sex be constantly acknowledged, with the uses of singular they being gratifying rare.
X is still an EXTREMELY mixed bag in terms of culture war issues, but the biggest negatives mainly involve issues I barely ever see mentioned on places like Fedi.
@ArdainianRight @William_The_Dragonborn Gen 9's success actually disgusted me way more than Gen 8's success. At that point the Ignorance excuse no longer applied.
Having to have your Veep lectured by the Pope on common human decency, then posting that the Golden Rule is 'He who has the gold makes the rules' is quite a way to spend Easter. 🤢

"... Let’s create a 10-year low-skill work visa. It would cost $10,000—money that currently goes to cartels. Workers would be permitted to come and go, visit family, and live with dignity. Employment would be mandatory; workers could not remain unemployed longer than three months. Applicants must have no criminal history. This visa would never lead to citizenship, even through marriage. ...
The best case would be a green card, but not a vote. Workers would pay taxes and contribute $10 per paycheck to Social Security, which they would never draw from. After 10 years, the visa could be renewed once—or the worker could return home.
We would prioritize Mexico, and then Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras—because a strong neighbor is national security. If your neighbor’s house is burning down, your own home is at risk. A strong, thriving Mexico makes for a ...
@Tfmonkey @RoninGrey I had a wonderful RP interaction with my waifu today: I came home and the floor was wet because she scrubbed it. She apologized for not timing the scrubbing better, but I magnanimously chose to enjoy the weather outside while she finished scrubbing. I then proceeded to go to the kitchen window which is one story above the ground and begin speaking from the second scene of the second act of Romeo and Juliet, changing the language to be humorous and fit the context.
She then proceeded to do the same and speak Juliet's part, but adapted the language to speak of the trials of scrubbing the floor. It was all very adorable and wholesome.
I suppose it does, but that wasn't my intention. The thought of having a humorous interlude based on a satire of Romeo and Juliet with my waifu seemed fun and a good experiment to see if she could adapt to it, and it worked in a cute way.

In summary, the documented reality is that pro-Palestinian views are aggressively censored on major social media sites, while pro-Israeli views do not face the same level of moderation or suppression. This creates a significant imbalance in the digital public sphere[1][2][3][4][6][7].
