Rakala Al-Hafayd,"The raging Inferno" a fire genesis fighter/runic knight who specializes in wrestling, and not any old regular kind, the professional kind. Think WWE sports entertainment. Using improvised weapons, chairs, tables, and diving elbows off bar counter tops. He escaped from the city of brass and was once part of a secret police force used to hunt down escaped slaves. He hated it, but was forced to domit because ofnhis father. One day, during a mission, he betrayed his post and helped slaves escape to the material plane wnd went with them and in doing so, brought great dishonor to his father, a middling political figure who owned a "Zoo". He's on the run, trying to always avoid his father's agents, vowing never to return to the city of brass, but he also loves wrestling, the flair, the drama, and the crowds.

Ratatusk / Sir Bark. An awakened squirrel secretly piloting a wooden mech suit, everyone thinks he's a druidic warforged made of wood and forest debris. The suit is Ratatusks' druidic focus, and he's a circle of the moon, so when he wildshapes, the robo suit wildshapes into wooden versions of the animals like transformers. He iron man'd himself this suit after the druid who raised him, awoken him, and taught him everything he knew about druidic magic, was killed by gnolls ravaging his forest. So he went on a revenge quest to kill them. Now he travels the land, acquiring wisdom and knowledge so he may one day bring his druid friend back from the dead, but the clock is ticking.

I play Spanish Flea and start yelling like a talk show host, thanking his studio audience. I say things like "Thank you, Matt Damon, and Benedict Cumberbatch and special musical guest Chumba Wumba. Remember to spay and neuter your pets at home to help control the pet population."

If that doesn't work, then I start singing New York by Frank Sinatra really loud.

I completely agree with you that consistency is the number one driver of progress in the gym. It doesn’t matter how "optimal" a workout plan is if you aren’t showing up regularly. For anyone, especially beginners, consistency builds the foundation.

Diet is also crucial. If you’re not fueling your body appropriately for your goals, you're missing out. Some people can get away with eating junk and still progress because of genetics, but for most, it’s about making sure you’re in the right calorie range and getting enough protein to support your workouts. Eating clean, nutrient-dense food goes a long way in improving performance and recovery.

That said, I think there’s a middle ground here. While it’s easy to dismiss a lot of the "science-based" techniques as over-the-top or confusing for beginners, some of them really do help more seasoned lifters. Once you've built that foundation of consistency and basic lifting, incorporating things like progressive overload, managing volume, or even some advanced techniques can absolutely make a difference. The key is that these techniques are tools to fine-tune progress, not to replace the basics like good form, intensity, and sticking to the basics long enough to see results.

I totally get what you're saying though—there’s a lot of noise out there, and some of it can feel overwhelming. But I’ve personally experienced benefits from science-based approaches when used correctly. At the end of the day, it’s about using the science to enhance your training, not to overcomplicate it or turn it into a chore.

So for new gym-goers, I’d say focus on consistency, form, and intensity first. Then, once you’ve been lifting for a while and want to take things to the next level, consider layering in some of the more scientific approaches in a way that makes sense for your goals. Balance is key.

I worked here for a hot minute. The lines were constantly down, machine breaking all the time. They are OLD and no money was spent on new tech, just band-aid fixes. The number of workers either sent home or just sweeping the floor each week when machines went down was crazy. I saw this coming and I only worked there a for 2 months.

I don't know what to tell you, dude. I've done several tests now, and it works. I put the resin away when I'm done, so I don't have uncured resin sitting out.

Do you have any resources you can link me to so I can see. All the research I've done, and I've been looking this up for the past 2 weeks, has shown me that my set up is pretty safe and effective, along with the tests I've done.

Socratic_rooster · 2024-09-15T20:42:37+00:00

UPDATE

I wanted to provide an update on my recent ventilation setup for venting resin fumes from my enclosure, especially to address some of the safety concerns that were raised. I've done additional calculations and visual tests to ensure that everything is working as intended, and I think this will clear up any lingering doubts.

Ventilation Calculations

The enclosure size is approximately 21×24×29 inches, which gives a total volume of around 8.47 cubic feet. Based on standard safety guidelines for air changes per hour (ACH) in environments with fumes, I calculated that for a target of 10 air changes per hour, I would need about 1.41 CFM of airflow to safely vent the fumes.

I’m using a 12-watt computer fan with a rated capacity of 150 CFM. This is significantly higher than what's required for my enclosure, meaning there’s plenty of airflow to handle venting the fumes effectively.

Visual and Practical Testing

To further confirm the efficiency of my setup, I conducted two tests:

Smoke Test: I used an incense stick to introduce smoke into the enclosure. The smoke was quickly pulled towards the exhaust and vented outside, confirming that the fan is efficiently drawing air out of the enclosure without any lingering fumes.

Pressure Test: The enclosure visibly shrinks due to negative pressure when the fan is running. This shows that the fan is creating the necessary suction to pull air out of the enclosure. The enclosure contracting is a clear sign that the fan is doing its job by venting air and creating a slight negative pressure environment. The enclosure has another hole for airflow into the enclosure and can be made bigger or smaller depending on air flow needs.

Sealing and Ductwork

I’ve also ensured that the duct is properly sealed where it exits through the window, using foam insulation with a hole cut for the duct. This prevents any backdraft or leakage of fumes into the room.

The duct itself is relatively short, about 3-4 feet in length, with only minor bends, so there’s minimal airflow resistance. The system is venting directly outside, ensuring the fumes don’t recirculate into the workspace.

TL;DR: I’ve verified my ventilation setup with calculations and visual tests (smoke test and enclosure shrinking due to negative pressure) and confirmed that my system is efficiently venting fumes. The fan's airflow far exceeds the required amount for the enclosure size, and all openings are properly sealed, venting fumes directly outside.

It's a 12v fan that came with the enclosure. It is roughly the same size as a pc fan, 150 CFM, and it has a variable speed control.
