The Bellweather is not a predator. Its danger is almost entirely situational.

Three forearms where one should be. Brass bells that can detonate at close range when it is pushed past what it can absorb. A chest broadcasting weather advisories at increasing volume before something arrives.

It uses none of this willingly. Bell detonation distresses it. The aftermath is visible.

The genuine threat is mistaking a warning for an attack.

Was impressed to see on a website from a company up North selling performance parts for #cars and #workshop services, that prominently stated they were paying "UK Living wage".

They also had 2 vacancies for #mechanics which would be a decent salary for that region (it would be good down South too!)

But it shows a wider problem - both vacancies demand 2 years experience as well as the usual NVQ Level 2 / 3 - although I'd expected they to want more experience than that for the salaries quoted (and its a more specialist job than general mechanics) - for younger folk there's the dilemma of how are they going to get the 2 years experience if no one is willing to hire anybody who has just completed #college ?

Alright, future engineers!
**Newton's 2nd Law:** Force = mass * acceleration (F=ma). It quantifies how net force causes an object to accelerate.
Pro-Tip: *Always* draw a Free Body Diagram (FBD) to correctly sum all forces in the x & y directions!

The Sentinel runs on a Tension reserve of 0–10.

Every round it loses 1. Defense costs 1. Offense costs 2.

When it hits 0, it can self-wind — back to 6 Tension. One controlled steam release. One round of bonus defense.
Cost: permanent –1 Max Tension. Every time. No exceptions.

It knows exactly what it's spending.

🏋️‍♂️📏 Olympic weightlifters utilize #physics to lift massive weights by timing their movements with the barbell’s flexibility.

As the steel bar bends and oscillates, athletes catch the upward "whip" to gain momentum. The technique allows lifters to move loads that would otherwise remain stationary through precise mechanical synchronization.
