#fun work

So, I got really into Detroid: Become Human AU, soooo.... There ya go.

Let’s start with Nulitosc, shall we?

The forgoten android HK003 (the HK is explained by @elk-and-thearchivist​), also named Nulitosc was one of the first attempts to make a fully functioning android. It was made to be unmoved by any wulgar and bloody situations. Also, since it was simply a beggining, the identification code was made in a much less complicated way. The android did not show any signs of deviansy, but it did have some problems regarding their overall behaviour. The android was not acting as every other android, due to a mistake while programming him. He was always keen on to curse and seemed overall to be a little bit too much for being around actual bugs. Pale King was overall confused, since such behaviour seem to not disclose around him presonally. He had plans to fix the android, since it did indeed make all the orders and has no signs of deviansy. But since time pressure was really hard on Pale King, he just continued to create new androids, leaving HK003 in the back, turned off. After a long time of being forgotten, while cleaning the back from unnecessary garbage being there, HK003 was frown away for scrap, without Pale Kings permit. It's not like he would care, what is a one android in comparison to hundrets? Supprisingly, throwing HK003 away have caused it to turn on. When HK003 escaped, it stumbled upon Grim, offering him temporary safety. Android, overall confused declined, claming that it can't stand to be close to someone who was not worth trusting as well as being passinve in it's eyes. It so took spare clothes that was given to it and for a long while just walked around the Hallownest, while not being looked for anyway. The fact that their indentification code was easier was surely helping, but on the other side, if someone was to check it closely, it may make some suspicions. HK003 was wondering of their purpose, since it was not given any task that was clear. And then at some point he got to a big house on one of the far ends of the city. Now, it is to say who exactly is Shansa, for you to fully understand what the hecc it going on.

Shansa is a teenage child of Sara and Lordy, both leading a big corporation, that is in charge of food delivery to Hallownest. They where known for their genorousness and for a fact, that they employed actual bugs. (they are not form the city) One day Pale King invited the family for a presentation of overall CyberLife, and then ask for finantial help. But unfortunetly, that was not ment to be, because while Sara and Lordy where with Pale King, Shansa stayed in the waiting room, and was attacked by a hiding deviant android, that have later runned away. Shansa was badly damaged, head cracked almost hide open, as well as a big hole in the chest. Parents of the child obviously freaked out, and have seen it as an attack at their corporation and at them overall. They threatned to cut all the food supplying actions in the entire city, which would HK003 was wondering of their purpose, since it was not given any task that was clear.

Parents of the child obviously freaked out, and have seen it as an attack at their corporation and at them overall. They threatned to cut all the food supplying actions in the entire city, which would cause unnecessery problems. Pale King then wanting to calm the parents down, said that there is a way to save the child, and he will do it right away. The plan was to put the operating system with a bit of raw mechanical parts and use the fragments of an android that where cooperative to a bug nerve system. He has also put there an android mind, that would not intervine in the mind, but would be able to make the systems work at all times, so they would help the brain and heart to work. Supprisangly, such really scary and risky thing worked pretty well, leaving different reaction on the two parents. Lordy was still fuming and being really sceptical, untrusting towards the Pale King. Sara on the other hand was just relived that her child is now back to life, with her again. Then it came to light that Shansa lost most of her memory, losing the knowledge about even the most elementary things, like flowers and her own name. Her memory remembered only random things, and the fakt that her parents are her parents. From this moment Shansa was home schooled. But the problems did not just end there. It turned out that the software that was in Shasna, was extremely unstable, making it turn itself off at random time, with was causing or unbearable headaches, or heart attacks. There was a way of turning it back on, but someone would have to be next to her, with the right equipment. That caused the parents to deside that Shansa will most likely not go outdoors for her own good. Also there was no way of changing the software, since now any action could cause death to the child. Because of that, Shansa's only dream was to be able to at least go to the park on a walk. Since the parents worked almost all day, they had not much time going out with their child, just spending the time with her in the house. Shansa was now a teenager with a exsistencal crysis, that could have a heart attack at any given moment, that has no memory of basic things. The family met HK003 maybe a year after the acctident happened. They caught him, trying to get through their property. They had the intention to report him, but then they desided that they will make some good for her child. The very first thing was to make sure it wasn't a deviant, and the test they made personally (while not calling anyone) was negative. HK003 had no task to make, the only thing he had to do, is to survive, that was written into his code. They made a deal, that they will hide the fact that HK003 should not be here, in exchange for chores and taking care of Shansa, which would allow her to go out. Generally Lordy was really sceptical, since cause of the accident he does not look at any android with trust. Sara on the other hand was hopefull, that it will make Shansa happy. HK003 accepted the offer. May I add Nulitosc was not made to do chores, he was made to catch devants, so he had to basically look up everything in the internet (lolz). They also gave him other, matching clothes, so he does not look suspicous. The concept is, that because of the pure exchanges with Shansa, HK003 can become a deviant. Generally, there can be many possible endings you can end up with -the most hard and satiysfing ending is when HK003 does become a deviant, but also make Nulitosc's relationship with Shansa so strong, that she will defend him form anyone trying to check HK003's code more closely, or the parents, that are going to at some point realise that Nulitosc is a deviant. It is also an accomplishment that HK003 didn't let Shansa die, since because of her lack of knowledge, can get into trouble in any given moment, not even mentioning the random heart attacks and headaches. Nulitosc would also have to not get caught of course. This way Nulitosc will be able to survive and hava a nice life with Shansa, having a purpouse in life, a pretty, nice ending. - there is also a much more boring endings if Nulitosc won't become a deviant. Then HK003 will or just be made to make same chores over and over while being blinded, or get caught and sended back to the scrap -Nulitosc can also let Shansa die, that is pretty easy acctually, since any given situation helps Nulitosc accopmplish that. This way, HK003 can get killed by the father while he rages, you can also run away and depending of is Nulitosc is a deviant or not, can lead to some new endings. If HK003 is not a deviant, it can try to run away, but Nulitosc will eventually just get caught. It he becomes a deviant, he can join the other devaints in their revolution, or, yet again, try to escape. -the is even an ending where Shansa end up completely losing her memory, if you where not helping her during her headaches. There is also an ending where you make bad first impression on Shansa and you are thrown out by the parents, with is just Nulitosc's doom at this point. So yea, I ended up thinking a lot about the possibylitis, and now here we are.

More work done on the Philco 39-45.

This radio has been a big job so far and still more to go. Spent a bit of time this afternoon replacing some power supply components.

There was originally a 4mfd capacitor mounted in the hexagonal hole to the left of the terminal strip (first picture), but that was not present when I got the radio. Instead a blue electrolytic (8mfd) was mounted to the terminal strip so that’s been replaced with a 4.7mfd cap.

There’s another electrolytic (25mfd) that has its positive end connected to the same terminal strip and the negative going to ground. The original capacitor was mounted pretty far away and had the positive lead running under the band switch to reach the terminal strip. These caps are all part of the power supply (filter capacitors).

So instead of running long leads to connect the 25mfd cap, I just mounted it on the terminal strip and grounded it where the other capacitor is grounded.

Additionally I replaced all of the old carbon comp resistors with modern ones and replaced some of the crusty wires with new ones.

Next steps are to replace the last of the wires and components (just a few more resistors to go), then put the band switch back in and connect everything up. Lastly I’ll put the power transformer back in and replace the old capacitors that go across the AC line to ground with some proper safety caps.

Then I’ll be able to clean up the chassis and test the radio... :|

I hope it works.

Despite an obstacle appearing heavy and solid as an anvil, in reality, it’s hard work and discipline that endow our efforts with the thrust to go upward, and force to pound decisive form out of dreams.

Did you ever notice that our anvil and hammer are floating?

We wanted to show that no matter how heavy a burden, with a constructive attitude a mentor and a team, anyone can make a positive impact on the world.

Our floating anvil poses the notion that without compromise to one’s ethics, it’s normal and easy to improve one’s circumstances and surroundings.

Waterbury Hill set out over a decade ago with the simple idea that the true nature of Life is abundance; Everything is already as it should be.  Acceptance that everything and everyone is already in his right place is the first step before allowing Life to unfold.

At Olympic Master and Apprentice we welcome this spirit to fill our guts.  And so, our anvil floats evermore

Phil’s practical tips for fun, everyday teamwork:

Be open minded:  It's not always about who wins or loses, sometimes it's just about being together. If you're having trouble working with someone, try to find out what they need from you. You may be able to help them out without even realizing it.

Don't take things personally:  You don't have to agree with everything someone says or does. Just remember that everyone has their own way of doing things. Try to understand where they're coming from instead of judging them.
