Dyna blaster 64 bit2/17/2024 ![]() This meant it truly was a portable console, without the need to carry a bag of batteries or a power adapter with you. While the competition could stretch 3 to 5 hours on 6x AA batteries, the Game Boy could manage 15 to 30 hours on 4x AA batteries. Its mono/green screen didn’t put people off, because that lack of a colour backlit screen was reflected in battery life. ![]() Sitting here reminiscing, it is hard to believe I sat hunched over a 5.8” console that only ran at 4.19 MHz* with 8 KB RAM and a display that only had 4 shades, light to dark olive grey – but that thing came everywhere with me.ĭespite competition from the Sega Game Gear, Atari Lynx, and NEC TurboExpress, who offered portables with full colour screens around the time of the Game Boy, it was Nintendo who ruled the portable scene. I spent many hours a week hammering this amazing device, and it really kickstarted my tech lifestyle. It was my first ever games console and still a favourite of mine. I got my Game Boy in around 1993, when it was well into its reign. The first home console was the Fairchild Channel F released in 1976, and the first handheld was the MicroVision by Milton Bradley in 1979. I should point out, it was not the first console, nor the first handheld console to use cartridges. It was the successor to the Game & Watch series of handhelds and saw a switch to putting games on removable cartridges, something continued through the entire Game Boy series and into the DS/3DS range too. This is where my love of low-end kit stems from, and this goes for games consoles too.ġ989/1990 saw Nintendo release the Game Boy. I have always lagged behind in terms of technology – very rarely having the latest offerings or models. What’s chunky, cream coloured, and has a screen capable of displaying four shades? It’s the legendary Nintendo Game Boy. Who hasn't experienced a pumpkin puddle at school, where 30 people squeezed on one computer and cheered on 4 chosen ones who played like they weren't. A huge whirlwind on one computer, fighting for cups and bonus skulls is one of the best the gaming industry has ever offered. Īttentive people have found that I wrote as a plus multiplayer. ![]() It's such sweets, romance - don't miss it and handkerchiefs with you. Interesting is the touching outro where it occurs cracked. The enemy is at an advantage because he has cover, sometimes he is injured and sometimes not. Kill all the monsters first and then enjoy the finals. The final meeting takes place at the castle. then lives, speed of movement, detonation of bombs, etc. The variety is various special abilities, such as a fire - increases the firepower, or a bomb - you put more bombs. Each level, such as a river, has more levels, which differ only in the size of the playing field. Each level has its own specifics, so when you are in the water, you have a crocodile at the enemy. ![]() You follow a map, a picture of the castle and its surroundings. And so you continue on and on until you fight your way to where? but still further. (At least for whoever is looking at you). You have the opportunity to try what happens when you put a bomb on that teleport. After discharging the whole level, one cube will light up, if you haven't found it already and below it is a teleport to the next level. bomb! yes, that's the classic of all cartoons. The means to do this is Jadin's weapon, which occurs in the game and that is a big black. She could be a mother-in-law, but who would save her what? Well, as I have already revealed, your task is to save a certain fairer sex. One villain (he looks just like you, only he's black) has decided to take your girlfriend, mistress or wife.

Speed stacks zestaw2/17/2024 ![]() When the board realizes the circuit is made, it will send a signal to your computer in milliseconds to provide an accurate and true time when speed solving a Rubix cube. But if one hand is touching both pieces of foil, then the circuit is still created and the signal will just go though one side of your hand out the other. If only one hand is touching one piece of foil, then there in no circuit and it will not work. Thus, creating a circuit allowing the Makey Makey to know both of your hands are touching the foil. When you put your hands on both pieces of aluminum foil, the signal goes through the first piece of foil, in your hand up into your body, then down your arm out to your other hand then through the aluminum foil. Then the other wire going to the other piece of aluminum foil will be waiting for that signal to go through it back to the Makey Makey. Basically, the Makey Makey (See picture 1 for what a Makey Makey is), will send an extremely low voltage signal (about 5 volts, not enough to feel it let alone to get shocked) through one of the wires to one piece of aluminum foil. The aluminum foil is the main part that will conduct electricity for the Makey Makey to know when your hands are touching. So now, let's get on with the supplies needed! ![]() (See picture 2 above for what a speed stack timer looks like.) Speed stack timers are used at WCA (World Cubing Association) competitions. When you place both hands down again, it stops the timer. If you can solve a rubix cube but don't know what a speed stack timer is, it's basically a timer that you put both your hands on, and when you remove them, it starts a timer. I hope to have an instructable about solving a Rubix cube in the future, but until then, you can just search for videos on YouTube. However, you could use it for other things such as maybe timing yourself to build a puzzle. First off, if you don't know how to solve any Rubix cube, then this timer may not be for you. It will also work just like a speed stacks timer with one benefit, you won't need to enter your time into a speed cube timer website, it just basically acts as the space bar. This timer will be able to work with any Rubix cube (2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, megaminx, skewb, pyraminx, clock, etc). In this instructable, I'm going to show you how to make your own speed stacks timer for solving Rubix cubes.

Papyrus definition kids2/17/2024 Who Built the Egyptian Pyramids & How Did They Do It?: New Archeological Evidence Busts Ancient Myths Harvard’s Digital Giza Project Lets You Access the Largest Online Archive on the Egyptian Pyramids (Including a 3D Giza Tour) ![]() But as long as there are those who retain the knowledge of these arts, we’ll have an intimate physical connection to the writers, artists, and bureaucrats of empires past.Ī 3,000-Year-Old Painter’s Palette from Ancient Egypt, with Traces of the Original Colors Still In It There may be little demand for papyrus, or for parchment, for that matter, and maybe paper will finally go the way of these obsolete communications technologies before long. Learn above how modern Egyptian papyrus-makers, scribes, and illustrators ply their trade - a fairly good indicator of how the ancients must have done it. “The industry thrived, selling papyrus art to tourists,” the video notes, but it has fallen on hard times as the plants go extinct and demand falls away. While scholars in the 20th century tried, unsuccessfully, to reconstruct papyrus-making using ancient sources like Pliny’s Natural History, Egyptian craftspeople in the 1970s reinvented the process using their own methods, as you can see in the Business Insider video above. That changed with the introduction of parchment and, later, paper “the large plantations in Egypt which used to cultivate high-grade papyrus for manufacture disappeared,” as did the knowledge of papyrus-making for around 1000 years.īut papyrus (the paper) has come back, even if wild papyri plants are disappearing as Egypt’s climate changes. Papyrus was “produced exclusively in Egypt, where the papyrus plant grew” notes University of Michigan Libraries, but “papyrus (the writing material) was exported throughout the classical world, and it was the most popular writing material for the ancient Greeks and Romans,” becoming the most used platform for writing by the first century AD. The discovery of the diary entries and other papyri at the site “provide a never-before-seen snapshot of the ancients putting finishing touches on the Great Pyramid.” It is also significant since Tallet found “the oldest known papyri in the world” and has helped give researchers greater insight into how papyrus was used by ancient Egyptians for careful record-keeping - in both the language of priests and scribes and that of ordinary merchants - since around 3000 BC. It has been called “the greatest discovery in Egypt in the 21st century.” The scrolls contained the “Diary of Merer,” the journals of an official who led a transportation crew, and who observed the building of the largest of the pyramids. Kushari: often considered the national dish, Kushari is made with rice, lentils, pasta, spices and fried onions and served with a hot and spicy tomato sauce.In 2013, French Egyptologist Pierre Tallet discovered in an excavation site near the Red Sea “entire rolls of papyrus, some a few feet long and still relatively intact, written in hieroglyphics as well as hieratic, the cursive script the ancient Egyptians used for everyday communication,” Alexander Stille writes at Smithsonian.Chicken and lamb are the most popular meats but quite expensive. In the Mediterranean region as well as in the Nile valley, fish and seafood are available. ![]() Vegetarian dishes are very common in the country as vegetables, fruits, rice, beans and various grains are commonly cultivated in the country. ![]() The Egyptian cuisine mainly uses vegetables and fruits such as tomatoes, beans courgettes (zucchini), eggplants (aubergines), okra, grapes and dates as well as spices such as cumin, garlic and coriander. The country mainly exports crude oil and petroleum products, as well as agricultural products and textiles. The main trading partners are the United Arab Emirates, China, the UK and the USA.Įgypt is one of Africa's largest oil and natural gas producers.

King charles cavalier health issues2/16/2024 ![]() Though it’s tempting to give your pal food when she looks at you with those soulful eyes, you can “love her to death” with leftover people food and doggie treats. It is a serious disease that may cause or worsen joint problems, metabolic and digestive disorders, back pain and heart disease. Obesity can be a significant health problem in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Many of these infections are preventable through vaccination, which we will recommend based on the diseases we see in our area, her age, and other factors. InfectionsĬavalier King Charles Spaniels are susceptible to bacterial and viral infections - the same ones that all dogs can get - such as parvo, rabies, and distemper. In fact, your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel's life span may be cut short by one to three years! We’ll clean your dog’s teeth regularly and let you know what you can do at home to keep those pearly whites clean. If we don’t prevent or treat dental disease, your buddy will lose her teeth and be in danger of damaging her kidneys, liver, heart, and joints.

Rick moranis ghostbusters afterlife2/16/2024 ![]() "Why would I do just one day of shooting on something I did 30 years ago?" he said in 2015. published 25 January 2021 When it was announced early last year that Rick Moranis was planning to unretire from acting so that he could reprise his role as Wayne Szalinski in the developing. " didn't appeal to me."Īn appearance in the reboot - which will be ignored by Reitman's film, a direct sequel to his father's 1984 Ghostbusters and 1989's Ghostbusters II - made "no sense" to Moranis. I still get the occasional query about a film or television role and as soon as one comes along that piques my interest, I'll probably do it," Moranis said. "But I'm interested in anything that I would find interesting. Mulling over a return to acting now that his children are grown, Moranis told THR he "took a break, which turned into a longer break." In 2015, the star made headlines when it was learned he declined a cameo appearance in Paul Feig's Ghostbusters reboot. In the years between, Moranis performed infrequent voiceover work. ![]() A reprisal of Wayne Szalinski in straight-to-video Honey, I Shrunk the Kids sequel Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves! marked Moranis' last on-screen role for a decade, until he revived popular SCTV character Bob McKenzie in 2007's Bob & Doug McKenzie's Two-Four Anniversary. ![]() Louis Tully is a nerdy accountant as well as a tax attorney and a neighbor of Dana Barrett, played by Rick Moranis in Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II and voiced by. Egon came to believe that the apocalypse would come. Moranis took a hiatus from acting in 1997 to focus on family following the death of wife Ann Belsky. In Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Egon is revealed to have had a daughter, Callie, prior to 1984, whom he is estranged from. When appearing at Ghostbusters Fan Fest in celebration of the 1984 film's 35th anniversary, Reitman revealed Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Sigourney Weaver have each read the script he penned with co-writer Gil Kenan ( Monster House, Poltergeist), hinting the classic cast will reunite in GB20.Īfter Weaver revealed her involvement and seemingly confirmed the returns of Murray, Aykroyd and Hudson in the 36-years-later sequel, co-star Annie Potts told Los Angeles' KTLA 5 she expects to answer the call for more Ghostbusters - leaving Moranis as the last-surviving core cast member yet to address the third film. There are growing calls among Ghostbusters fans for Louis Tully actor Rick Moranis to rejoin his original franchise co-stars in Jason Reitman's 2020 sequel.

Tire plug repair kit2/16/2024 ![]() I plan to keep the car for another year or two.Īny light you can shed on my dilemma would be greatly appreciated. I am at a loss as to what would be the most cost-effective option, I don’t want to do something that would be detrimental to the car safety/ride. Apparently replacing one is OK if it used. ![]() Yet another option would be to get a used strut assembly and just replace the affected side. I know that spring must be replaced, do I just have that spring replaced or do I need to replace both sides at the same time? Another option I have been presented with is to replace both front strut assemblies with new struts as I am told you can’t replace just one with new. The rest of the spring is intact and solidly in place, the car ride is not affected, except for that periodic noise. Some time ago I became aware of a periodic noise from the front right end, and after a thorough search in that area, I discovered that the last three inches of the spring end was broken and was loose. I own a 2004 Jetta wagon that I bought when it was three years old, it is a great little vehicle that has served us very well. If they are still doing it the old-school way, I would suggest it might be time to go looking for a new facility. Next time you are having a flat tire repaired at your repair shop, ask them what style of repair they are performing. When a licensed technician or any tire professional repairs your tire and contravenes known procedures, they will be assuming the liabilities of any subsequent tire failures, even if the tire fails from something else. Therefore, if you, as a consumer, go to your local parts store and buy a tire plug kit and repair your own tire, you do so assuming your own liability. They also state that a tire plug alone is an unacceptable repair. ![]() In this case, the tire manufacturer’s association states that a tire must be removed, and the inner liner inspected. All professionals regardless of industry must follow guidelines as set out by the appropriate industry association. While I am not a legal professional, the understanding that I have is the assumption of liability. ![]() The legality is a little confusing, as there is no law that says a tire cannot be repaired with a plug. Once the technician determines that the tire is repairable, they must prep the inner tire surfaces according to industry guidelines and use an approved stem/patch along with vulcanizing compound, effectively sealing the injury from the inside out. Keep in mind that driving on a flat tire for a block or two will usually cause sufficient damage to the inner tire liner, rendering it garbage. The proper way to repair a puncture is to demount the tire from the wheel and then thoroughly inspect the condition of the inner liner. Unfortunately, there are still many repair shops using this antiquated technique to repair their customers’ flat tires. But let’s face it: There are less and less drivers fixing their tires on Sunday morning in their driveway. Tire plugs are still available today and sold as a temporary tire repair kit. This repair is considered temporary primarily because it does not seal the inner tire liner. The key word here is temporary, as this style of repair was meant to get you safely off the side of the road, and originated from a time period when some had the skill to be able to repair their own tires, on-site. A gooey-coated plug made of a multitude of materials such as rubber and leather strips is then forced into the hole as a temporary repair. The old-school plug repair technique leaves the tire mounted on the wheel. What’s the difference between the two most popular tire repair techniques, a tire plug and a tire patch? And did you know one is illegal? Well, it’s sort of illegal. But I want to do it properly and that requires more than the five minutes that they have allotted. While I am eager to introduce myself and my services to new customers, I’m afraid I aggravate many of them by refusing to repair their tires. Often, the ask involves inflating their tires or performing a hasty repair on a tire puncture. I am fortunate that my business is located on a major thoroughfare, which most of the time leads to a steady stream of potential new customers. |
