#abrading
Slashing tires, draining fuel tanks, starting fires, starting arguments, acting stupidly, short-circuiting electric systems, abrading machine parts will waste materials, man power, and time.

Oh my god. Okay. Strapping Underling starts frantically abrading and scratching Mr Kang's thigh where Businesstwink touched him, while Mr Kang writhes around on the bed crying out in pain and begging him to stop. #TwistedTie

Can’t happen fast enough. Yes, there’ll be pain, but at this point it’s abrading a festering wound.
"Cracks are appearing in America’s debt-laden $10tn AI infrastructure boom as project delays, public backlash and shaky investor confidence bring a reckoning for the data centre build-out underpinning the US economy."
America’s $10tn AI infrastructure boom is starting to fray
A vast bet on the future of the technology is running into the unforgiving economics of the physical world

Poem

I looked deeply
Into the world.
Crevasses and cliffs
Tearing fingers.
Sands and stone
Abrading flesh from the feet.
I asked in all corners
For wisdom
Only to be used up
And prostrate before
Silence.
And last, i spoke
Softly to the sky.
And eventuality
Struck
With calamitous echo.

Most of you will never understand the pain of having to remove 60 concrete wedge anchors that aren’t code compliant by injecting diamond paste into the annulus and abrading the locking sleeve until you can withdraw the thing.

It sucks. Time consuming and tedious.

Practicing knapping with Johnny chert. The goal is thinning the rock via percussion flaking, which relies on sending shockwaves through the stone to detach flakes. Abrading sharp edges prevents crushing and aids flake removal. #flintknapping #archaeology

Ron Athey portrait by Catherine Opie

I saw RA perform a few times. Once in Jackie 60. He'd connected limes to rings that pierced his upper body.

When he moved through the crowd, the abrading limes would scent the room, covering over the dancers' sweat.

Wearing a spoopy October shirt at the office today and it is abrading my nips

People had already turned the fun hobby into just another way to gamble in an app. Now that it's effectively become a second job for a lot of people, they're abrading off every last bit of the "fun hobby" that doesn't contribute to more profit.

So

You can't REALLY achieve a full body orgasm by rapidly abrading your skin with rocks

Right?

They're abrading my telomeres. Ow. Owie

Latter. Which is why radiosondes and ozonesondes need NOTAMs. But this balloon is just rubber so it alone would not damage an airplane or engine but with a few meters of pure SO2 into an engine, you'd get sulphate particles abrading the rotors in the engine.

Previous volcanic plume damage.

I love a good scab but will (hopefully) never top coming off my bike as a teen, over the handlebars, smashing out my front teeth and abrading most of my face on the pavement for a yard or so later. A fortnight later I peeled off what felt like my own death mask, it was AMAZING.

It's so far in my wheelhouse it's abrading the ball bearings.

I’m lucky that I’m based at home so I can clean it through the day and put Manuka gel on it while she’s sleeping, but it means I have to be on high alert to prevent her licking it and re-abrading the surface each time. Luckily she sleeps a lot!!

Brillo boy. Fits. He's abrading the decency, solvency and self-respect off the surface and all the way down in America.
I think we have a winner ;)

Yes, Blackfur was returning from the fields opposite for tea. He jumped off the wall to cross the road just as a car came past. Luckily he didn't go under the wheels ... but was trapped and dragged along between the car door and the dry stone wall, abrading the skin from his shoulder, ribs and hip.

Ok, drunken ramble, but I think Catcupuncture might be a thing.
Like, maybe it's that whole parasite thing, but I swear I've missed the feeling of Cat Claws gently abrading my skin

What a wonderful, neurotic Sunday!! Saturn is outmounting, the super pastel ball pythons are abrading and the gown smells like sleeked spaghetti and meatballs and californium? 🧑‍🧒

when i was 30 i climbed a tree to take a picture and ended up almost abrading an entire boob off falling out of the tree. i realized while applying ice packs later how many years it had actually been since the last time i'd climbed one and wondered wth i'd been thinking. it was a durable lesson.
