Just shapes and beats update 20211/17/2024 ![]() ![]() Boss battles don’t include any checkpoints, so you’ll have to be precise with your dashes in order to survive. ![]() If you get hit too many times, you’ll rewind to a previous checkpoint. I was glad to see that you don’t die in a single hit, and instead, you’ll see chunks of your form fly off as you have four hitpoints and three lives to spare. These muted colors are safe zones and won’t harm you until they become the deep rich neo pink that will break your little shape apart. Most of the time you are given clues or tells on where the next pink shape of death will appear, either by flying across the screen or fading in from the background. In fact, since you are dodging and dashing through the levels, it feels like attempting a pacifist mode run. The visual style while simplistic is highly effective, evoking memories of Geometry Wars, which is an excellent company to be in. Through the story mode (which can be played with others locally), you navigate your rectangle through a maze of pink objects cluttering the screen, all in tune with the music. The title of the game truly represents the nature of what the game entails, namely shapes and beats. That’s right the game features fully functional boss encounters that will have you cranking your speakers to 11 and banging your head along to the beats. Every musical note of each song is beautifully rendered through the use of shifting/exploding shapes of different sizes, requiring you to dodge and dash your way through the chaotic rhythmic action and boss battles. Unlike most rhythm titles that follow a traditional style of playing along with musical tracks, you are merely trying to survive against an onslaught of pink shapes in the same vein of a bullet-hell shooter. A very unassuming title, Just Shapes & Beats was one of my most anticipated titles after speaking a very brief time with it at PAX East 2017.

Secret life of addie larue1/17/2024 ![]() Once it’s finally revealed why Henry remembers Addie when no one else does, the reason makes sense Schwab is an author who understands the importance of both subverting and satisfying reader expectations.In the vein of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Life After Life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is New York Times bestselling author V. You can relax into your enjoyment of the story and trust that she knows what she’s doing, because she does. Yet in Schwab’s talented, inventive hands, there turns out to be a third way. ![]() Girl falls in love with the only boy who seems to understand her the obstacles between them must be, by the end, either overcome or acknowledged as insurmountable. ![]() In lesser hands the story might become predictable. Henry and Addie aren’t equal partners, exactly, but they’re partners in a meaningful, resonant way. Once he appears, chapters from his point of view alternate with Addie’s, but as the title indicates, this is not really his story, but hers. Henry is warm-hearted and kind, prone to depression, and just as drawn to Addie as she is to him. Then, in 2014 New York City, she meets a young man named Henry in a bookstore, and he remembers her. Luc returns at irregular intervals to torment her, but she resists the urge to give up and surrender her soul even when times grow desperate. The fact that no one remembers her makes it easier to steal, to slip away, to live on the fringes, though it also makes any kind of lasting connection or stability impossible. The world’s impact on her and her impact on the world are both evanescent. The dark, entrancing figure who negotiates the bargain-taking the good-looking, masculine form of one of Adeline’s own drawings, and later, given the name Luc by Addie herself-blesses and curses her with a kind of immortality: she will live as she wants, freely, until she tires of life, only no one she meets will remember her.įor hundreds of years she lives under these conditions, finding her limits, testing them. Born in a small French village in 1691, Adeline LaRue makes a bargain with “the gods that answer after dark” to escape an unwanted marriage. It just tells a gorgeous, immersive story, gripping the reader with a tale of disappointment and triumph, damage and healing, fear and wonder, and above all, memory.Īt its core, the plot engine of Schwab’s book is unmistakably Faustian. A typically lush but not intrusive bit of description: “The garden, once overgrown, has been swallowed up by the encroaching woods, and the wild has won its war against the hut, dragged it down, saplings jutting up among the bones.” It doesn’t privilege emotion over plot, or interior complexity over exterior action. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue doesn’t just traffic in beautiful sentences, though it has those a-plenty. How lucky we are that, instead, Schwab decided to write this one. But those books have already been written. Schwab could write a 784-page coming-of-age doorstop about a young man whose in-the-moment decision to steal a valuable painting shapes the rest of his life, or an epic yet intimate exploration of the intertwined dysfunctions of a troubled Midwestern clan, or a novel of irrepressible grief and longing narrated by more than 150 voices, most of them dead. I have no doubt that if she wanted to, V. Schwab’s new book The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue isn’t just an amazing book for its genre it’s an amazing book, full stop. Yet certain genres are still elevated and others dismissed the New York Times “By the Book” feature still regularly asks writers “Which genres do you avoid?”īut there is no particular art to literary fiction that doesn’t exist in fiction of other genres, and V. A sincerely curious, skilled, and committed writer can basically write whatever she wants, genre be damned. I’m tempted to say the modern idea of genre is a joke, except that it’s not funny.

Na element solid1/17/2024 ![]() Sodium bromide cause skin rashes and high blood levels of bromides may cause serious neurologic and psychologic disturbances. Question 2: What are the health hazards of Sodium bromide? ![]() It produces bromine gas when heated because bromide as an individual particle is in a liquid state but it evaporates fastly like all other gases but that doesn’t make the combined sodium bromide a gaseous stated material, still it is solid-state. Sodium bromide is a light whitish and silver coloured solid material. Question 1: What is the state of Sodium Bromide? Sodium bromide is nowadays mostly used in oil and gas drilling industries.Sodium bromide is widely used as an anticonvulsant.Sodium bromide is also used as an antiseptic, detergent, and as reagent in pharmaceutical preparations.Due to the usage of bromine, is used because of its germicidal properties.Sodium bromide is used as sedative-like other bromide in the periodic table.We can clearly see that a redox reaction is occurring, which is one of sodium bromide’s chemical properties that is frequently employed in its applications. As a result, one sulphuric acid hydrogen atom bonds to the sodium ion, reducing the oxidation state of the sodium ion. In this reaction, the sulphuric acid attacks the sodium bromide ion’s at the most electronegative part, where the hydrogen atom is attached to it. Sodium bromide when reacts with sulphuric acid forms sodium sulfate and hydrogen bromide.Barium Acetate Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Potassium Hydroxide Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Potassium Permanganate Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Zinc Acetate Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Zinc Sulfate Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Lead Iodide Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Lithium Iodide Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Lead IV Oxide Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Sodium Formate Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Magnesium Iodide Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Potassium Fluoride Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Aluminium Fluoride Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Aluminium Oxide Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Hypobromous Acid Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Chemical Formula of Water - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Copper Sulfate Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Calcium Chloride Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Selenic Acid Formula - Structure, Properties, Uses, Sample Questions.Software Engineering Interview Questions.Top 10 System Design Interview Questions and Answers.Top 20 Puzzles Commonly Asked During SDE Interviews.Commonly Asked Data Structure Interview Questions. ![]()

My cloud home local access1/17/2024 ![]() So that you can still use your M圜loud on the go afterwards, I recommend using a VPN. Doesn't work? Then you did everything right!. You can test this by trying to log in to your NAS with M圜. Your M圜loud is now a "normal" NAS without a connected cloud service. Instead of using the browser or the app, you can now access your M圜loud via network shares and copy data much faster - always provided your router supports a fast WiFi standard and Gigabit Ethernet. Your M圜loud can then no longer be reached via M圜, but only in the internal network, which is sufficient in most cases. Don't worry: you can of course reactivate the service at any time. Here you will find the "Remote Access" switch, which you must deactivate if you no longer want to use M圜. Now select “General” in the settings menu. Here you will find all the options to manage the M圜loud NAS. Now click on the "Settings" menu item in the upper right corner of the user interface. Enter your username and password and you are already in the M圜loud interface. If you did everything right, it will look like the image below. Then enter it in the browser line using the same pattern with in front of it. To do this, you must either enter the network name of the M圜loud - by default "mycloud" with a preceding in the browser: If that doesn't work, you have to log into your router and find out the IP address of the M圜loud-NAS. ![]() I don't mean that, but directly and locally in your network. Log in locally on the M圜loudįirst log in to your M圜loud. With M圜 you can log in to your M圜loud from outside. Especially since, as you will find out below, it can also be replaced without any problems. Instead of the apps, I prefer to use network shares, I don't currently use the part with iOS anyway and I can also do without the browser interface - reason enough to pull the plug on the M圜 service for more speed. And that slows things down unnecessarily. On the other hand, and this weighs more heavily for me, apparently all data runs via M圜, even if it is copied locally via the web service or the M圜loud app. The reason: On the one hand, only the password and username separate the NAS data from the big, bad world of the Internet. However, this system gives me – and probably many other users – a stomach ache. The M圜 web service is supposed to make it easy for users to access the data stored on the M圜loud from anywhere in the world: call up M圜, log in and access the NAS at home from any Internet-enabled computer. The only problem: the annoying M圜loud web service. So it made sense to replace the Time Capsule with the M圜loud. Now, however, a new backup task has been added: A Windows PC has to be regularly connected to the File Version History be secured. So far, however, I hadn't gotten around to putting the device into operation, especially since my time capsule was doing its job well. I tested Western Digital's M圜loud some time ago.

Take five oil change discounts1/16/2024 ![]() I think you just have a really poor estimate of timing in your head, and what feels like 10 minutes to you is actually more like 30+ if you had a stop watch. From the time the car pulls on to the lift to the time the barrel is full of old oil takes more than 10-20 minutes and thats not with any shenanigans, thats just realistic time from sequence of events. Costs $15.68 for 5 gallons of full synthetic and that's not factoring in gift cards, cash back, coupons, etc.Īt the end of the day, it's your time and money. Just how much do you think full synthetic costs? My van takes 5w-20. Minimal mess if you buy the right drain container (the carry-style ones are best). There's no fuss with OEM oil filters which is all I ever use for any of my cars. Waited about 5 minutes for the oil to cool down enough (I have a high heat tolerance) and did an oil change in about 30 minutes and that was taking my VERY sweet time. One time I got home from a 300 mile trip. ![]() I've seen people do car maintenance wherever they can do it. I do have a hydraulic jack but I don't need it for oil changes. I don't need to jack up my car to reach the pan and filter. I prefer to know the quality of the work, what goes into my car, and saving time and money. ![]() You're clearly talking yourself out of it which is perfectly fine. But.Īside from the fact that you forgot about properly lifting the car to get underneath it (ramps and jack stands cost money), whether your living space allows for such operations (try doing an oil change in a parking garage), the total time investment is probably more like over 2 hours of your day from start to finish, plus the potential for mess, plus the aggrevation of fussy oil filters, etc etc. This SHOULD be raising red flags for you if it's taking them longer than the time I mentioned. It takes longer than that for a mechanic to do it once they have your car on a full blown lift. Sorry but my personal time and frustration levels arent worth worrying about a trivial $30 savings I wont see until the summer of 2021 Assuming you buy full synthetic and get 6 months of life out of it, that means over 2 years before you see one single penny in saved costs. Ultimatley the breakeven point from a purely cost perspective doesnt show up till probably 4 or 5 oil changes are performed. How are you going to do it faster than them? Aside from the fact that you forgot about properly lifting the car to get underneath it (ramps and jack stands cost money), whether your living space allows for such operations (try doing an oil change in a parking garage), the total time investment is probably more like over 2 hours of your day from start to finish, plus the potential for mess, plus the aggrevation of fussy oil filters, etc etc. Lol it doesnt take 10-20 minutes to do an oil change. I can definitely see this working on someone that doesn't know much about their car. The way he explained it when he was trying to push the unneeded service was clearly rehearsed. It would also tell me if it was low, fuck being empty.īe careful out there. Did he really not think I would know if my reservoir was empty? My fucking car would be over heating with how much I drive. He can clearly see I have a newer car with lots of options and aftermarket work. I just can't believe this dude would try to pull that shady shit on me. Pulled in, said I need an oil change, they started, asked if I could get out and stretch since I've been in my car all morning, yes but you have to leave the shop floor (that's weird but okay), walk outside, jackass calls me over to my car, says the coolant reservoir is empty and attempts to upsell me on a coolant flush, I decline, everything goes smooth after this, after my car is safely away from these crooks and I'm about to pull out, I tell the dude I know this scam and I'm going to report them to the BBB.
