You either believe that both trans medical care is necessary and that prisoners deserve necessary care while imprisoned as a right, or you don't. It's fine to say you don't but you should better understand that that is you rejecting a right.

A team led by renowned Chinese physicist Pan Jianwei has built a key component for a quantum computer — an atom-arranging setup capable of creating arrays 10 times larger than previous systems — that raised hopes it could one day be scaled to tens of thousands of these tiny building blocks.

Peer reviewers hail breakthrough as ‘significant’ advance in the development of atom-related quantum physics.

@s2208@nicecrew.digital I understand what you mean.

Those jobs do expose women to meeting many men

For example a nurse might treat wealthy patients, and as a flight attendant you meet lots of middle-class and rich men.

But I feel love is what really matters. If a woman truly loves you, she won’t cheat no matter the circumstances.

Love is about sacrifice and commitment.

When to Replace Hydraulic Seals & Cylinders in P&H Cranes


P&H cranes rely on their hydraulic systems to power heavy lifting, boom adjustments, and winch operations. The seals and cylinders in these systems are critical, but wear is inevitable. Knowing when to replace them with quality P&H crane parts ensures safety, performance, and minimal downtime.

The Role of Hydraulic Seals


Seals, often made of rubber or polyurethane, are small but vital components. They maintain pressure within the hydraulic cylinder, prevent fluid leaks, and keep out contaminants like dirt or water. A failing seal can lead to oil loss, increased friction, and damage to the cylinder’s rod or barrel, turning a minor issue into a major repair.

Spotting Seal Failure


Seal issues often provide early warning signs, allowing technicians to act before a breakdown. During inspections, watch for:

  • Oil residue on the cylinder rod after movement, indicating a worn seal.
  • Leaks or puddles under the crane after idle periods.
  • Jerky cylinder motion due to air or pressure loss.
  • Rapid pressure drops when the crane is not in use.
  • Contaminated fluid, appearing cloudy (water) or gritty (debris), signaling seal failure.

Unusual noises, like knocking or chattering during cylinder operation, can also indicate seal problems.

When Cylinders Need Replacement


Cylinders endure significant stress from heavy loads, harsh environments, or improper use. A damaged cylinder can quickly ruin new seals. Common issues include:

  • Bent rods from off-center lifting or overloading.
  • Corrosion in the barrel from exposure to moisture or chemicals.
  • Scoring from debris bypassing a worn seal.
  • Damaged threads or ports from improper maintenance.

Minor damage may be repairable, but severe wear often requires replacement. A trusted crane parts supplier can provide authentic P&H crane parts to restore the system’s performance.

Maintenance and Inspection Schedule


Wear varies based on the crane’s workload and environment. A machine in a rugged setting, like a steel yard, needs more frequent checks than one in a controlled facility. Suggested intervals include:

  • Inspect seals every 1,000 hours for leaks or wear.
  • Check cylinders every 2,000 hours for rod and barrel condition.
  • Replace seals during any cylinder maintenance, as they lose elasticity over time.
  • Plan cylinder rebuilds or replacements every 5,000–7,000 hours, depending on usage.

Keeping detailed maintenance logs helps owners anticipate needs and avoid unexpected failures.

Tips to Extend Component Life


Technicians can adopt practices to prolong seal and cylinder life:

  • Maintain clean hydraulic fluid with regular filter changes and oil testing.
  • Avoid side loading by ensuring proper alignment of booms and attachments.
  • Warm up the system in cold weather to protect seals and oil flow.
  • Address small leaks promptly to prevent escalation.

These habits reduce wear and maintenance costs.

Sourcing Quality Parts


Many P&H cranes, still operational decades after production, require precise components. A specialized crane parts supplier can provide seal kits, rods, or full cylinders tailored to your P&H model. Using genuine P&H crane parts ensures compatibility and durability, avoiding issues with generic substitutes.

Cost and Downtime Considerations


Proactive maintenance is cost-effective. A seal kit, costing a few hundred dollars, is far cheaper than a cylinder replacement, which can run thousands. Downtime from hydraulic failure can also disrupt entire projects, making early intervention critical.

Conclusion


Hydraulic seals and cylinders are essential for P&H crane performance. Regular inspections, timely replacements, and quality parts keep operations running smoothly. Partnering with a crane parts supplier specializing in P&H crane parts ensures repairs are done right, minimizing costs and downtime.

Yemen fires at Tel Aviv airport with hypersonic missile, operations suspended


In a televised statement on Sunday, Yemeni military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed that the strike was carried out with a hypersonic missile dubbed “Palestine-2.”

“The operation successfully achieved its objective,” Saree said, adding that the attack triggered air raid sirens, disrupted flights, and “halted airport activity” in the occupied territories.

The Yemeni spokesman said the strike was part of a wider campaign in response to Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, now in its 22nd month, and in retaliation for Israeli air raids on Yemen.

The people next door have at least three toddlers, somehow. They've had at least three toddlers for the last three years. I have no idea how this happens, but these kids are endlessly screaming. I even hear them outside, playing, at midnight, and screaming, crying, whining. One of these little preverbal goblins was banging a fucking spade against my basement window the other day while its father leaned against the wall talking on the phone. Completely and utterly inept.

And I already — I'm sorry — I already seriously hate kids. Like. Pretty much all kids, let alone these loud, poorly parented babies. If I weren't so concerned about neighbourhood drama, I'd be screaming right back.

this helps since the block of code I think is responsible (github.com/misskey-dev/misskey…) seems to also exclude avif from the compression
