There are many systems on the Internet which not only attempt to actively trace you during a hack, but also try to surreptitiously and passively trace the hack back to your IP address via your bounce path. Even though the Tutorial didn't require that you go back and delete your logs, it's an extremely important part of any hack. You can usually do this through hacking missions, though hacking a bank and exploiting a glitch in the mission request screen are also very lucrative, more on that exploit in the next section.Ĥ.

The Barents Observer reports that military border guards on Jarfjord Mountain in northern Norway reported seeing the flash. And it was three times as large as the biggest bomb ever detonated by the U.S., dubbed Castle Bravo. It had a destructive force over 3,000 times as destructive as the bomb used by the U.S. The Tsar Bomba detonation went in history as the largest bomb ever detonated on Earth. and Soviet troops at the wall’s Checkpoint Charlie. The Soviet Union detonated Tsar Bomba just months after the construction of the Berlin Wall, and days after a tense 16-hour standoff between U.S. “The fireball from an H-bomb rises so high that it hits the tropopause, the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere… the fireball flattens out it can no longer expand upward, so it expands to the side into an exaggerated mushroom cap.”īut the Tsar Bomba mushroom cloud expanded through the stratosphere and formed its cap in the atmospheric layer above it, the mesosphere. In the case of a nuclear detonation, the bomb emits a blast of x-rays, which ionize and heat the surrounding air that hot bubble of gas is known as a fireball,” Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory physicist David Dearborn told Scientific Americanin 1999 of smaller blasts. "A mushroom cloud forms when an explosion creates a very hot bubble of gas. But the blast created a mushroom cloud 42 miles high, about seven times the height of Mount Everest. The bombers used a parachute to slow Tsar Bomba’s descent to Earth so that they could detonate it relatively high in the atmosphere and reduce its impact on the ground, according to the video. The documentary adds to other information that Russia has declassified, but nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein tells the New York Times that the video carefully avoids revealing technical details “despite appearing to show the innards.” It was so large that engineers had to modify the bomber aircraft used to carry it by removing the plane’s bomb bay doors and some of its fuel tanks, according to Vice. The bomb was 26 feet long and almost seven feet tall. Norris tells the New York Times’ William Broad. “There was a megatonnage race - who was going to have a bigger bomb,” atomic age historian Robert S. This test occured during the height of the Cold War, when the Soviet Union and the United States competed to build the largest and most destructive nuclear weapons. The Soviet Union tested the 50-million-ton hydrogen bomb, officially named RDS-220 and nicknamed Tsar Bomba, in late October 1961, Matthew Gault reports for Vice. Later, the documentary compares the ice-covered archipelago before the blast to the scorched, red and brown landscape left behind afterward. Video footage shows the blast from several angles, sometimes struggling to show the entire mushroom cloud in the frame. The 40-minute documentary, which was posted on YouTube on August 20, shows footage of the largest bomb ever detonated on Earth, Thomas Nilsen reports for the Barents Observer. Recently declassified Russian footage of the 1961 Tsar Bomba hydrogen bomb test shows why. Hydrogen bombs are so destructive, their impact has been described as unthinkable throughout history. Okay, when your theme is “Best Picture Adaptations” and there are at least dozens of ways to clue HER, maybe you don’t drop into the mix as the 1-Across clue. (Lambs.) Awkward to have with “The” in the clue when there’s another THE in the answer.Įach theme answer is an acclaimed movie’s title with one letter changed, and clued accordingly: Distracting! (And by “you,” I refer to the editors also and not just the constructor.) It had me thinking the whole theme was going to involve the 2013 Best Picture nominees and that the puzzle had been sitting around for years. Like poetry, the awkward silence slows us down and stretches us beyond our comfort zone into surprising intimacy with. (Last.) So after two with “The” titles, now there’s one that includes its THE. Awkward silence is a concentrated pause we share, a hush in public spaces in the office or at a conference, in a restaurant or at a party underneath the trumpeting of either/or positions, headlines, and issues. (Connection.) And the THE goes away again. (Mind.) Would have preferred a “gorgeous mustelid” or “gorgeous small mammal” instead of the pelt stripped from its flesh. (Fair.) “Salon woman” feels very much not in the language. Stylist, colorist, or old-fashioned beautician?Ī modestly amusing theme.

Not keen on the “peeping Tom” term, as it sounds so innocuous. If you’d like to see masked women making this complicated dish (you have to hollow out your ball of cheese), here’s a video.Įvan Birnholz’s Washington Post crossword, “I’m With the Band” – Jenni’s writeup Say what? Dutch cheese in a Mexican recipe? Yes, indeed. 56a = IMMODEST MOUSE (Modest Mouse.) The entry is fine.Ģ3a = THE MOODY BLUE SIM (The Moody Blues.).I think I got the whole theme all by myself for this one, although recent history would suggest that may not be true.Įach theme entry consists of a band name with IM inserted somewhere to make a wacky new phrase – hence IM with the band.“Quiet person” is “reserved.’ That’s sort of the definition, isn’t it? And “immodest” doesn’t mean “not reserved.” I suppose might have give it away too easily, though. 65a = QUEENS OF THE STONE IMAGE (Queens of the Stone Age.)

If you make it very clear very early on that you understand what they are trying to do, and that you refuse to be manipulated or controlled this way, they will either come around and knock it off, or else their behavior will dictate your next step. If you continue to make her feel uncomfortable or unwelcome, I'm not going to force her to put up with you. Tell them, "I'm an adult, and whether or not you like her, Lisa is my wife now. It's beneath you, and I won't tolerate it." Any objections are easily overcome. Nevertheless, I insist you stop treating Lisa so coldly. Try going to them (leave your spouse at home) and saying, "Mom, Dad, I understand that you don't approve of my marriage. If your family is the rude one, treating your new spouse with this sort of passive hostility, speak to them right away, and try to head off problems before they become very difficult to overcome.
These are normally not files you want to modify or delete. Treesize will present some immediate locations and files you might want to review. While Treesize scans your system drive, you will see an hourglass on each folder. Select the Start tab, click Apply then OK. Select the Tools tab then click the Options button. Simply perform a new scan to build out a full map of your disk space usage. Many applications store files there and you would be surprised to know a number of log files that can grow in size hidden away from easy access.Īfter launching Treesize, the program defaults to your system drive where Windows 10 is installed, but the contents of the folder tree will be blank. An excellent place to start is the AppData folder. Users will have to dive in and start digging throughout the system to find files they think might be squatting on precious disk space. The interface is a bit like File Explorer on steroids. I managed to archive about a GB of audio files then rushed to get Treesize up and running. I had to find some way to free up space in my Anniversary Update installation. Unfortunately, the app would not install on the Creators Update either. So, my next attempt was to install it in the Windows 10 Creators Update I had on another partition, which was not affected by the issue I was experiencing in Windows 10 Anniversary Update. TreeSize kept erroring out during setup because of a lack of disk space. Setting it UpĪfter downloading TreeSize, the next step was to install it. Either way - I highly recommend these guys. That said, they offer a 30-day trial if you want to try out the paid versions of the tool. For my needs, the free version was good enough. It comes in three versions which you can compare on their website - Freeware, and two paid versions. The good news for me, the tool is still maintained and free. Jam Software TreeSize (Free)ĭoing a quick search for tools here on groovyPost turned up an article Steve wrote back in 2008 on how to create a hard drive utilization report using a tool called TreeSize Free. Windows 10 still continued to function, but apps remained funky. None of the Microsoft built-in utilities were not working either. What was causing this? A look through my Startup programs and Event Viewer yielded no clues. What I was able to archive made no difference, 4 GB of disk space dwindled down to zero bytes in minutes. I accepted the fact that universal apps would eat up some space along with Windows Update. I moved those too along with taking a close look at my installed apps to see, which ones might be eating up space. The only major files I had accumulated were the 4 GBs of HP drivers in the swsetup folder kept at the root of my drive. I went ahead and performed all the usual tasks such as running disk clean up, following the steps in our Groovypost free up disk space tutorial, and of course, searching manually for any files I might have stashed somewhere on the drive. Resolve 0 Bytes of Free Space Error in Windows 10 using TreeSize The majority of my active files are on OneDrive, which only uses 6 GB of space. I thought, how could this be? I don’t work with large applications or files, if I do watch a video, it’s immediately archived to my external drive old files no longer used are archived to the drive too. It wasn’t until I tried saving to a different partition I came across something weird I didn’t have a single byte of disk space left on my system drive. The errors were happening a lot when I tried to save screenshots from Snip.

Of all the dumbells I've used, I'd personally rank them: I'd say that I prefer my powerblocks to my rubber hex dumbbells with a contoured semi-knurled grip (e.g, like the ones from Titan or from Rogue) and cast iron hex dumbbells. I've been doing many variations of presses, rows, curls, and skull crushers with them too. I actually really like the block-shape of the dumbbells for curls in comparison to normal dumbbells. Moreover, the powerblocks are super easy to adjust, and their shape does not bother me at all. I can see these easily lasting 15+ years under normal use. I've been using them for over a month, and they still look practically brand new. I believe the set I have is at least a year old, and it shows little to no wear or tear. I wasn't sure if I could trust the plastic selector pin to hold 90 lbs, but it works just fine. Simply put, I think Powerblocks are amazing. Handle: Straight cylindrical grip set inside a padded handle. Stage 3 add-on kit brings the dumbbell to 90 lbs. Weight Stacks: Welded Steel Construction. I've been using the Elite USA Model for about 6-7 weeks now, and I figured I'd share my thoughts on them with r/homegym I came across a deal for some PB 5-70s for $350 on OfferUp, so I decided to pick them up and also ordered a stage 3 kit to expand them to 90 lbs. I was holding out on winning the Ironmaster lotto for months on end without any luck. Just to be clear.the tool is a good tool.you just have to choose which exercises it works well for you. I still have the blocks and use them for slow exercises. While I do not have the range of the p90, and they take up a lot more room, they are also collectively more expensive - my workout flow is definitely better. I also found that switching between the weights, esp if you want to add only a metal bar, makes drop sets within a reasonable time, unreasonable. The kettle bell is just an awkward shape, esp as the weights increase. It is wholly useless for any fast changes and cannot do it when in a rack. The opposite: the bar to fit on the blocks). The bars have a limitation in having to place the block appropriately on the bar (rather. If you have a chance to get any of those ease save your money. I also bought the ez lift bar and the straight bar and the kettle bell head. GGR Community Reviews PowerBlock Elite Series Adjustable Dumbbells GGR BuiltScore: 4.Excellent review and I agree. Replaces 16 pairs of dumbbells in the space of 1.Is expandable later to 70 and again to 90 pounds per hand.Thanks to their smart and economical design, the PowerBlocks are extremely tough and can withstand all sorts of regular gym abuse. This is one of the last adjustable dumbbells sets to still be made in the USA, and PowerBlock uses only premium-quality materials. The PowerBlock Elite dumbbells are one of the highest-rated and best-selling sets of all time. This means they have had over 25 years of production and refinement to create the ultimately adjustable dumbbells set, and they truly have. PowerBlock was an innovator in this category and has been making adjustable dumbbells since 1991. Not as comfortable as using fixed dumbbells.Rectangular shape might throw some people off.More durable than most adjustable dumbbells.
In fact, it can be a great way to improve your Mac’s performance by running Windows and other operating systems side-by-side. The use of ppm bundles is to remove unnecessary files, such as old logs, temporary files, and snapshots. In the case of a large amount of data in your virtual machines, you might be able to reduce the * size. Is this slowing down of the Mac side of things normal or does it suggest that something isn’t working right? How do I speed up my mac when using parallel applications on my laptop? Reduce The Size Of Your *.pvm Bundle I have 4GB of memory on my Mac that is shown on ‘about this Mac’ as 1067 MhzDDR3. Finally, I shutdown my Windows 7 virtual machine and removed all Parallels software. The Desktop Mac version 9 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks. In Pro Edition, there is a limit of 128 GB of memory. In Mac OS X, you can allocate up to 8GB of RAM to your virtual machine. This item has four megabytes of RAMStorage600 megabytes for installing Parallels Desktop applications Additional disk space for the guest operating system (at least 16 GB is required for Windows OS) Four rows Does Parallels Take Up A Lot Of Ram? Install and use Microsoft Office, accounting software, trading software, SAP, Matlab, and other programs that are available for Mac OS X. You can choose from a variety of memory options that can be accessed using the mouse or keyboard. Each virtual machine can have up to three virtual CPUs configured by using the slider in the menu. How can I get rid of unneeded memory on my computer? It is recommended that you install Parallels Desktop applications in your Mac HD boot volume by using 600 MB. It is possible to partition Mac Pro/Business Edition’s Parallel Desktop into up to 128 GB of space. For Mac computers, RAM capacities can range from 3GB to 8GB. With Parallels Desktop, you can assign as much RAM as you want to your computer. The amount of RAM that is allocated to the virtual machine can be changed, and this can impact the performance of both macOS and Windows. This means that the RAM is not available to macOS or to any of the applications that are running on the Mac. The Windows operating system requires a certain amount of RAM to run, and this RAM is allocated to the virtual machine. The Windows operating system and its applications run in a virtual machine, which is a self-contained environment that behaves like a computer within your computer. Your Mac still has its own operating system, macOS, and all of its applications. Once you're running Parallels Desktop 10 under OS X Yosemite, it will provide Windows access to many Yosemite functions such as iCloud Drive.If you use Parallels Desktop on your Mac, you are creating a virtual machine that runs Windows. If you're thinking about giving OS X Yosemite a test drive before release, you'll be happy to know that you can set up the Developer Preview as a virtual machine within Parallels Desktop 10. If your Mac is currently using a particular set of regional settings, those are installed by default on the Windows VMs. All virtual machines and configuration settings are now controlled from a new Parallels Control Center, and the process of setting up Windows installations has been streamlined as well. Setup is now made easier - new users can select what their primary usage is (design, development, productivity, games) and the VM will be optimized. There's real-time optimization that compacts the virtual disk automatically. Windows documents open up to 48 percent faster, battery life on MacBooks is extended by up to 30 percent, the virtual machines take up to 10 percent less of the Mac's memory, Office 2013 apps launch up to 50 percent faster, and the virtual machines now only take up as much space on the Mac hard drive as required. 2014 is no exception, and Parallels announced today that Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac and Parallels Desktop for Mac Enterprise Edition are now available for current users.Īs one would expect with an upgrade, Parallels Desktop 10 provides some significant performance enhancements. Like the turning of the seasons, we can always expect an upgrade of Parallels Desktop about this time of year. While relying on their academic learnings for more “structured” magic, their scholastic nature gives Wizards a keen edge with the access they have to spells in their arsenal. Masters of arcane magic, Wizards use Grimoires to store and cast their most powerful spells. Although not as high on the damage department, multiclassing Monk into a Chanter or a Wizard can transform these two (2) Classes into demolishers, capable of withstanding almost any hit. Its mobile-oriented rotations make it an extremely deadly asset up close, with speedy attacks that catch enemies off-guard and the ability to kill the next foe without the previous one noticing. Their focus on Accuracy, Damage, and Penetration makes them more than capable of pulverizing most foes.ĭespite being nerfed in later patches, the Monk is still the most ideal melee Class in any Pillars of Eternity 2 gameplay. Their reliance on sheer speed and mobility makes them one of the best melee combat Classes out there - an expected trope for Monks in games like Dungeons & Dragons and here in Pillars of Eternity 2. However, among the game’s 11 main Classes, just which would be able to help players in their journey?įocusing on transforming their very bodies into weapons, Monks rely on a gameplay mechanic called Wounds to absorb a portion of damage dealt and cultivate them into powerful techniques that can manipulate the battlefield to their favor. However, for players who are just about to begin their journey in Eora, choosing their main Class is extremely vital to their experience. RELATED: CRPGs To Play Before Playing Torchlight 3Ĭontrary to other tactical RPGs, Classes in Pillars of Eternity 2 have a rather deep Class System, boasting not only Subclasses but even Multiclass opportunities, giving players quite a lot of ways to personalize their gameplay. Taking inspiration from the likes of Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights, players of Pillars of Eternity 2 embark on their journey with a player-made character among the many Classes that represent vocations in the world of Eora, all representing various walks of life. With the god Eothas having returned to the world of Eora and wreaking havoc, players of Pillars of Eternity 2 travel to Deadfire Archipelago to stop the wayward god and discover truths behind their past that could very well shatter perceptions about life itself. Go figure-actually standing up a couple of times throughout the day really does help. Not only did I feel like I had put in an honest day’s work, but I also felt less stressed, blurry-eyed, and cramped up. How could working less actually help me accomplish more?īecause I was forced to get up and give myself a rest from staring at my laptop screen, I found that I actually did feel better at the end of each day. Actually take your breaks.īecause I was so used to working in those long chunks of time (during which I thought I was being productive), the idea of splitting up my workday and-gasp!-wasting time on breaks seemed totally counterintuitive. This lets you get right to work and keeps you from wasting time deciding what to do first. Plan out your Pomodoros in advance.īefore you start your first timer, know what you’re going to do with your 25-minute block. Here are a few pointers for getting the Pomodoro Technique to work for you: 1. Perhaps that means I bent the rules a bit, but I couldn’t figure out a better way to handle that situation. So I ended up just completely deactivating my timer during these meetings-whether they were 15 minutes or an hour-and picking back up with the technique when those appointments were finished. I didn’t think my clients or colleagues would react too favorably to me yelling, “Be back in five! My timer just went off!” in the middle of a conversation. While it worked great on the days when all of my time was my own, the Pomodoro Technique became quite complicated when I had scheduled calls and meetings. I wouldn’t be an honest journalist if I didn’t outline at least one drawback. What I didn't love about the Pomodoro Technique And as a notorious multitasker, I noticed that I was totally zoned in on the one project at hand. I didn’t find myself mindlessly scrolling through Facebook or getting sucked in by those pesky clickbait articles. I was focused and super productive during my work time, as I was eager to get as much completed during that 25-minute interval as I could. What I loved about the Pomodoro TechniqueĪfter some time, the technique started to really gel with me. But I forced myself to stick to the format. There were quite a few times-especially in the beginning-when I was tempted to ignore the timer and continue working. What actually happened when I tried the Pomodoro TechniqueĪt first, working in such small increments felt unnatural. So the premise didn’t seem like it would mesh well with me. I’m the type of person who tends to sit in front of her computer and hammer out four hours of work without so much as a bathroom break. If I’m being perfectly honest, I’d anticipated not liking it at all. What I thought would happen when I tried the Pomodoro Technique Let’s just get right to the heart of the matter: I actually ended up really liking this method-and it’s probably something I’ll continue to implement when I want to kick my productivity up a notch. Not to mention tons of other features that come with it.Even though I’m a productivity “hack” skeptic, I tried the Pomodoro Technique for an entire week. They not only let you keep a log of all your work but you can also take it anywhere you go. While you can always get one of those, Tomato Shaped Kitchen Timer from Amazon, we recommend using Pomodoro timer apps on your devices. After four Pomodoros (or four 25-mins sessions) you should take a longer break (say 15-20 minutes) and repeat the same cycle again. Each 25-minute work block is called a “ Pomodoro“. A work session is broken down to 25-minute segments and each segment is followed by a short 5-minute break. So, let’s begin.įor the unknown, Pomodoro is a technique developed by Francesco Cirillo for improving your productivity. In our previous article, we talked about some of the best Pomodoro timer apps for Android and in this one, we’ll choose our best pick for Windows. Whether you are preparing for your final semesters or finishing your pending work, a Pomodoro timer will help you boost your productivity and get things done in less time. |
