Chunky ten thumbs10/30/2022 ![]() ![]() Chunky ten thumbs movie#Eric Bana's ruby-red robe shimmered and caught every glint of light, almost as if it had a life of its own.įrom movie dialogue and sound effects to streaming music on Pandora or Slacker, the notebook consistently gave us loud, clear audio. While there was a small amount of visual noise, we couldn't help but be impressed by the deep jewel tones of many of the costumes, including Natalie Portman's forest-green frock. But the real test came when we popped in the Blu-Ray edition of The Other Boleyn Girl. We saw clear, distinct text on CNN.com and Joystiq, while Michelle Billingley's webcomic series Joe gave us bright reds, greens, and yellows. ![]() Chunky ten thumbs 1080p#Surrounded in a glossy black bezel, the VAIO F's 16.4-inch matte 1920 x 1080p LED backlit display gave us crisp detail with vibrant color. The touchpad buttons were fairly stiff, which was a small distraction. We were able to scroll through web pages at an easy pace with two-finger scroll and accurately highlight text. The added texture felt good against our fingers, and it responded quickly to various mulititouch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom, two-finger flick, and rotation. Integrated into the palm rest is a 3.9 x 1.9 Synaptics touchpad comprised of a series of small raised dots. However, we did notice a slight flexing of the keyboard as we typed, and we took issue with the undersized left Tab, Caps Lock, and Left Shift keys.Īlthough the raised palm rest looks off-putting, we found it to be quite comfortable, though a little warm. The large flat keys had a nice spring, and we were hit our usual 50-word-per-minute average on the Ten Thumbs Typing Test. ![]() There are many things to like about the VAIO F's island-style keyboard, including a full number pad and bright backlighting which makes it easier to work in a dim setting. While the Dell XP 15 L502X is slightly smaller at 15 x 10.4 x 1.5 inches, it managed to match the VAIO F's chunky 6.6-pound frame. Measuring 15.7 x 10.7 x 1.3-1.7 inches and weighing 6.6 pounds, the VAIO F easily outweighs both the Gigabyte P2532 (15.4 x 10.4 x 1.1-1.4 inches) and the HP Pavilion dv6t (14.8 x 9.7 x 1.2-1.3 inches), both of which weigh 5.8 pounds. ![]()

Sun inductive timing light10/30/2022 ![]() ![]() any moneys owed by anybody at the shop was no longer owed. and the mack tool man was band from walking through the door or stopping out front. SUN INDUCTIVE TIMING LIGHT MAC2 more mac tools were bought and were totaly fucking useless in about 2 months or less. :? the mac guy told me it wasent for electric ignition :shock: apparently it was for diesel. The dwell function actually works like it should even though it’s digital. I’ve been using that one for several years now as well. Very convenient to be able to check voltage, dwell, timing, advance, and tach. Been using it for about 10 years now with no problems. All USA made when I bought it.īnam wrote: I have the innova 5568. You can look up some on Ebay.īut any other cheaper ones will work too. those numbers are reference points nothing more. then.if you change something this also may change.also weather may affect it too.as can fuel.learn your engine. then remember what it needs to be.right it down too. the actual timing numbers mean squat.the engine can not read.tune it for what it needs and wants, not what the guy down the street says is best.( unless he is the tuner and knows what he is dong. so witch was right?the 4 that read withen 1 degree? or one of the other ones? find the one that you like and works good and is repeatable. I compared about 8 light all at the same time and seperatly on the same engine.about half read the same some were up to 4 degrees off. I bought one from Napa, seems to be of good quality and works well. Thanks, I saw that one, but wasn't sure if it was from the bad old 90's or good old 80's. If you end up with it let me know, i have the original case and manual. Looks like the inductive pick up got too close to someone's header :lol: Some say the light isn't as bright as conventional ones, bright enough to do the job IMO. Nice light, Runs off batteries in the body of the unit so it can go anywhere. Maybe find a way to connect my tach to that so I don't have multiple big stupid clamps on my coil.īought an ESI self powered timing light. I think I'll get one of the 80's Suns on ebay. I do have my homemade clamp on tach () but it was handy to have it built into the timing light. I would generally use like once every two years. ![]() I bought a $20 xenon timing light through Amazon, don't think it has advance feature, and know it has no tach feature, but for my own usages, it's fine. Last summer it started acting up, and beyond my knowledge base/pay grade to fix it. WOOT!ĭecades ago, I was given an old Craftsman timing light. Gene Berg will be done with my case this week. I still need to find a bellhousing so I can bench start the new engine. I even use it for bench starting fresh engines. It never fails to get me through the engine timing task. I have an Optima deep cycle (Yellow Top) I use for the power supply. The circuitry shuts them off after a few seconds, then you have to reset.Ī buddy of mine was trying a lawn tractor battery. I bought on of the little 18650 based lithium packs, but they don't stay hot very long. My jumper pack crapped itself and splooged battery acid all over a while back. It's been three years since killing a timing light. The trick I use is to use an auxiliary battery, not tied to the vw charging system and an inductive pickup. SUN INDUCTIVE TIMING LIGHT FULLI just watch for the mech advance hit full advance and adjust from there. But it does have the timing advance feature. I was using the VW as a power supply.įor whatever reason, the charging circiut was causing the timing light burn out on the first try at timing the engine. an old Sears Penske, and three HF timing lights. However, I found out after burning up an Acton. You can't really go wrong with an old Sun timing light. I've been looking at eBay for some vintage Sun and Matco stuff, but they only have advance, not tach.ĭoes anybody make something of decent quality? Or should I give up on the all-in-one and get an old Sun? The latest rape van timing lights are just rebadged versions of those. None of those have consistently good reviews over time. I'm looking around and pretty much all we have are bottom feeder Chinese garbage, Innova, and Acton. To confirm it wasn't the car, I plugged in an ancient one, worked great. Now it shorts out the ignition when connected. I bought the high end Innova and it failed after like 5 uses (even though it's 3 years old.

Obsidian vs zettlr10/30/2022 ![]() My notes, while not entirely locked-in (due to their text markdown file format), are at least partially locked-in due to the way I’ve adapted their content, folder structures, etc. As I mentioned and the Obsidian team seems to agree with, my way of taking notes is personally affected by the application I use. I agree that note-taking is incredibly personal and their sentence linking the personal aspect to the application itself, speaks to this.įinally, the Obsidian team makes a great point about cloud services, instability of companies being bought, and data lock-in. Tried every app, but there’s always something not quite right? You deserve better. I’m pretty sure that the Obsidian developers recognize this because it says the following on the homepage: That means, I’m going to have to change things about how I structure my notes for them to be the most effective in each tool. Yes, I can open my Obsidian notes in Zettlr, Joplin, or Zim (with its markdown import) but to use them well, I need to adapt my personal processes to those interfaces, features, and the worklows of those distinct tools (sometimes equivalent features that we rely on for creating note content, don’t even exist in the other tools). The features of this tool, its interface, and the inherent workflows all cause the way a person structures notes and folders to be somewhat different than in other tools. ![]() In a note-taking/knowledge base application like Obsidian, content is created a little differently than in alternative applications. #Obsidian vs zettlr tv#Here’s a simplistic analogy: consider a film on a tv in your home… it’s not the same experience as that same film in a theatre. ![]() File content is often not totally independent of the application that it was produced with. However, an open format for files is not sufficient for the future or compatibility. This is very compelling it’s one of the reasons I want to use markdown (and Obsidian). You can freely edit notes in other software, even while having them open in Obsidian. Your notes are stored in markdown, which is an open format based on plain text files, and so should be readable in the future by any computer that can deal with text files. We believe your data is always yours to own and control. In the help page “How Obsidian stores data” it recognizes the benefit of open formats, saying: #Obsidian vs zettlr software#I would like to ask for more of an understanding of their thinking on a few points that they express prominently but which seem at odds with the fact that the software is not open source. How is the situation on mobile, e.g.Obsidian gets so much right! And, I really appreciate the team’s generally respectful approach to users. ![]() Now reading the help file of Typora and realizing that Typora, too, does not seem to recognize the double bracket links. Joplin (otherwise very nice!) seems to not recognize the double bracket wikilcnks created in Obsidian. I bought into the concept that markdown is a simple and save way to facilitate interoperability and longevity of my notes - did not expect to land in such a minefield of difficulties when using different markdown editors :(ĭevonthink shows my Obsidian files in a very strange manner. I am currently trying out different markdown editors (because I hate Obsidians requirement to switch between viewing and editing mode), and these differences make me crazy. In other words: if you edit your markdown files in another markdown app using a different syntax for linking, do you later have to go back an recreate all the correct links in your "main" app? How are you guys dealing with the fact that most markdown editors like Typora do not recognize / utilize the ] syntax used to create links in Obsidian? ![]()

March Air Reserve Base, a military airbase situated in Riverside County, presumably stands in for the DHL facility seen in the movie. Not staying confined to L.A., the cast and crew ventured out into California’s suburban areas to film some crucial sequences. Scenes were also filmed in the neighborhood of Playa Vista. This is the same venue where Phyllis gets married in the third season of ‘ The Office.’ Additional shots were taken at the intersection of West 7th Street and South Flower Street, as well as a property located at 831 Francisco Street in L.A. It flaunts a beautiful sanctuary, a nursery school, an event venue, office blocks, a kitchen, a garden, and a courtyard, that make interesting filming sites. The church premises prove to be fertile ground for filming. Some scenes were filmed in the First Christian Church of North Hollywood, a Protestant church located at 4390 Colfax Avenue, in the Studio City suburbs of L.A. The memorable chase sequence was filmed in Los Angeles International Airport, a central air traffic hub situated at 1 World Way in the city of L.A.

Trail of tears participants10/29/2022 ![]() ![]() “My biggest take away from this was that not just the African-Americans had something to be scared of, so did those who choose to help them, and that it took a very brave person to take that chance of being killed if they got caught,” Jacobs said in an email. She said the Underground Railroad re-enactment was “a great experience” and very eye-opening. Junior Jeunesse Jacobs participated in the Underground Railroad re-enactment and said she’d love to take part in the Trail of Tears event. She and Stevenson plan to get as many students involved as possible, but said she would love to have “around 20” students involved, twice the number of participants as the Underground Railroad event. It’s informative and allows students to interact and learn from new people.” “With this activity students get an interactive, once-in-a-lifetime experience that they weren’t looking for. “It’s important to learn about American history and learn as much from it as you can,” Rose said. She led students in a similar re-enactment event last fall as part of the project, exploring the experiences of slaves on the Underground Railroad. Since her freshman year, Rose has worked with Terree Stevenson, director of Multicultural Student Affairs, to plan the grant and the events. ![]() “I’m very interested in history and the way it can influence our actions,” she said.

Fashion art print10/28/2022 ![]() That includes things like generations of broken neon tubes, which most people wouldn’t ever think about… EVILUTION is a kind of retrospective of everything I’ve been doing over the last ten years, and also a way of looking towards the future. Many of our sculptures use obvious household trash, but we want to show that there’s a whole ecosystem of junk laying around out there that is threatening nature. It’s unbelievable what people throw away. The show also marks Bordalo II’s first foray into neon, which he describes in a statement: Spray-paint cans are slotted into an abstract mosaic of a raccoon, while neon tubing illuminates a range of sculptural creatures including a fox, spider, and even a snail strapped to an electric scooter.ĮVILUTION, which opens this weekend at the Edu Hub of Lisbon, exposes the incredible array of material humans discard and how such waste affects the environment and biodiversity. Spanning ten years of his career, EVILUTION reflects the environmental themes the artist has been drawn to for at least the last decade that are reflected through his signature Trash Animals, creatures comprised of entirely salvaged materials.

The jackbox party pack 410/28/2022 ![]() ![]() I tend to find deception games very fun, but I can definitely see how this game’s complexity can make it a little tedious to play with younger players or for more fast paced game sessions. Tactics slowly shift, and keeping track of everyone’s dating history becomes crucial. These powers greatly affect the flow of the game, and revealing them can stop a player in their tracks. It seems relatively simple, but at the end of each of the 6 rounds, the superpower the monsters had in the first place gets revealed. The person with the most hearts at the end wins. Each player has a special power that awards players with more or less hearts depending on how they play. You send messages to other players in an attempt to date them, which admittedly can get a little awkward/hilarious depending on how well you know your friends, and receive a heart. THE JACKBOX PARTY PACK 4 SIMULATORIt’s a surprisingly involved game of deception posing as a dating simulator with monsters and super powers- leave a trail of broken hearts before eventually escaping loneliness by dating the most people (basically a more gamified Tinder). “Monster Seeking Monster” is likely the least accessible game in the bunch but also the most rewarding. ![]() The drawings can get a little cramped with more artistically inclined groups however the more imaginative the players, the more replayability the game has. “Civic Doodle” is easily the most collaborative game in the bunch that still maintains a sense of competition throughout. The endgame is very similar, but instead of pairs of players tackling the ever evolving drawing, it’s everyone all at once. Once the drawing is complete, everyone gets a chance to name it and vote on the “best” one. After a round of voting, the winning drawing moves forward and must be elaborated on by another pair of artists until everyone gets a shot at it. Two players are given a wall with a very small portion of the mural and compete to make the most creative/funny/naughty drawing. ![]() You are given the task of improving a town’s murals. The puntastically titled “Civic Doodle” acts like a competitive, exquisite corpse drawing game. If the variety of questions is in any way similar to previous versions of the game, it’ll take a while before it gets repetitious. This version of the game directs the questions away from general trivia to ones about the party members, making for some pretty fun and raucous moments. The core game is still fun, but it’s the variant “Fibbage Enough About You” that raises it to a new level. The mechanics of the trivia challenge are mostly unchanged: the group is presented with a fill in the blank prompt, everyone in the group tries to fill in that blank with an answer to attempt to trick the rest of the players (or make them laugh with their ridiculousness), then everyone tries to guess the correct answer. This version adopts an entire new look, going for a 70s inspired aesthetic that gives the game a lively feeling throughout. There is usually a sequel to a previous game in each one of the Party Packs and this time around it’s “Fibbage”, one of the more accessible and entertaining of the series’ trivia games. The Jackbox Party Pack 4 keeps the trend of great games going by rounding up five diverse experiences that look like they will have a lasting effect (at least until the next party pack). It’s not just a pretty new coat of paint on old games, but complete reinventions or interesting twists on typical games that give them high replayablilty. Jackbox does everything they can to make these three styles of game play fresh and inventive with every new game and for the most part succeeds. THE JACKBOX PARTY PACK 4 SERIESThe games in the Party Park series fall into mix of three categories: trivia, drawing, and word based competitions. The use of a browser opens up the accessibility of Jackbox’s games but also limits their scope (in the best way possible). THE JACKBOX PARTY PACK 4 CODEA simple four digit code lets anyone join in on the fun, something that can get pretty wild when you hop on a Twitch stream with hundreds of players. This allows for bigger groups of friends to jump in on games without needing extra console specific peripherals or even needing to be in the room. Mostly known for the You Don’t Know Jack series, the developer reinvented itself with a string of games that utilize web browsers on phones, computers, or tablets to play the games instead of traditional controllers. Local game developer Jackbox Games (formally Jellyvision Games) has upped the ante on their fun repertoire of trivia games in recent years. ![]()

Translate speech to text10/28/2022 ![]() ![]() ![]() For example, some tools have limitations on the quality of translation. Nevertheless, although tools are completely revolutionizing the translation industry, speech recognition and machine translation do not have a human analysis dimension. TRANSLATE SPEECH TO TEXT PROFESSIONALIt is more accessible and makes it possible to maintain a form of objectivity, neutrality with regard to translation.Ī powerful technology that would almost make you feel cold! But will it replace the professional human translators? The subtleties of language in the face of machine translation This process has several advantages: it is faster than a human translator in processing requests. Without entering into the functioning of this “artificial” technology, we understand that thanks to algorithms, some data can be quickly recognized and thus translated in a way that exceeds human understanding. In order to then transcribe it into a machine-readable text. Some tools “recognize” our words with systems that analyze the human voice picked up by a microphone. Here are some of the automatic speech recognition tools we use today. Today, speed and ease, promised by automatic and reliable speech translation, are largely made possible by many tools. Warren Weaver has initiated the combination of natural language processing and automated transcription. TRANSLATE SPEECH TO TEXT SOFTWAREIt is a reality that computer systems and software nowadays considerably improve their “understanding” of the complex nature of language. The beginnings of automatic speech recognition In this first definition, we already notice two major difficulties: meaning and semantic value. In fact, translating is presented as the process of moving from “one language to another, tending towards the equivalence of meaning and value of the two statements”. However, can a good translation be done as “simply” as that? Is it still reliable? Who prevails when human translation is opposed to automatic speech recognition? This is what we are trying to understand with this article about translation. They recognize the words of a language and offer us their equivalents in a few seconds. Whereas in the past it was necessary to call human experts to translate everything from one language to another, nowadays, tools save us a lot of time.
