![]() It’s a bit disappointing that the R4 only sports 50 gallons of fuel capacity, as this could potentially limit cruising range on large lakes and coastal waterways. While the R4 does come in an optional wake surfing trim, the regular R4 will be more than capable for most tow sports. There are however, some very useful optional features that buyers may want to explore, including: an automatic fire extinguishing system, trim tabs, a windlass with an all-chain rode and a battery charger. As a result, prices for the Cobalt R4 begin at just under $130,000. Still, the R4 is mostly a no-frills design with no wet bar or fridge, and none of the largely unnecessary bells and whistles that drive the price up with little benefit to day boaters. Sporting a Kevlar-reinforced hull, electric swim step, and glass dash with dual 7in displays, the R4 has a bevy of amenities and features that are sure to greatly enhance your boating experience. For decades, Cobalt has been considered to be at the pinnacle of pleasure boat building (along with the likes of post-2001 Chris-Craft, Formula, and few others) and the R4 is no exception. The R4 by Cobalt is a wonderful premium option in the sub-25ft bowrider class. ![]() Prices start around $100,000, but if you want to spec up your LS4 as a wake surf boat with Volvo Penta’s forward facing drive, prices can stretch just north of $150,000. The LS4 is sleek, sporty, luxurious, and feature-packed, with an impressive 21 degree deadrise stepped hull. And to top it all off, the LS4 can be equipped with an optional retractable hardtop that can be electrically lowered for towing or transiting low bridges. The upholstery and beach-weave flooring are ultra-premium for the class. The helm features dual 9in displays for instrumentation and navigation. The LS4 features aft-facing chaise longue seats, which - when coupled with a spacious, low swim platform and open transom - creates a stern that is perfect for swimming, lounging, and tow sports. With a very open deck layout with a mid-transom walkthrough, the LS4 is a very spacious boat for its length (24ft 6in) and is well-suited to boaters who routinely take more than half a dozen guests out on the water. Essentially all Regal boats built since the early 2000s feature their patented, FASTRAC stepped hull design that claims to create more lift and less drag, resulting in increased speed and efficiency when compared to a standard, non-stepped hull.

![]() Now, let's see how you can use GIMP in creative ways on your machine. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. Now, all that's left to do is a quick restart so that everything is up and running.Īfter the restart, install GIMP with this command: sudo flatpak install flathub Īnd that's all about the different ways to install GIMP on Ubuntu. GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. If you don't have Flatpak installed on your computer, run this command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpakĪfter you are done with the installation, add the flathub repository to Flatpak: flatpak remote-add flathub Flatpak and Snap are similar package managers and like Snap, you can use Flatpak to install GIMP on Ubuntu as well. ![]() To try it out open Preferences > Image Windows, check Merge menu and title bar, and relaunch app. This is NOT enabled by default, and some minor behavioural quirks have been reported in certain situations. Install GIMP on Ubuntu With Flatpakįlatpak is a package management and software development utility for the Linux environment. Secondly, this GIMP version includes a Merge menu and title bar option, aka header bar. By default, macOS only allows you to open apps downloaded from the App Store. ![]() To start, launch Ubuntu Software from the Applications menu and search for ' gimp.' Click on Install to download the GIMP package, and the system will get it up and running in no time. Allow apps from the internet to open if needed. Now, you can just use the Ubuntu Software application for installing new software. ![]() I mean Maxis whittled a grand oak tree down to a toothpick and expected players to climb it. And when I say ‘pared down’, I don’t mean the way a bulky, unwieldy log can be refined into a sleek occasional table. The Civ phase is a pared down version of Civilisation. It’s shallow, it’s dull, it overstays its welcome, the customisations it brings are charmless, and the switch in camera perspective means your creatures are now these distant, tiny shapes it’s impossible to connect with.īy the time I made it to the Space stage the idea of grinding missions for cash to expand my empire was exhausting The Tribal phase is the one I truly hated this time around. It is charming at first and then horribly repetitive. Then you take your gang over to another nest site, mirror the skill they’ve performed and make friends. For that you buy every body part that offers level three or four in social skills special hooves for dancing, hands for posing, a mouth for singing. I went on a charm offensive rather than killing my neighbours. ![]() But to progress in the game you need to pick body parts according to their stat bonuses. I had one species which was just a mess of knees and one which was a relatively successful impression of a bird (if you didn’t look at it closely). This is the part where you get to sculpt your lifeform. Booting it up a decade later (or rather, booting it up on Steam, trying to coax it into recognising my EA login so I can access other people’s creations, then realising that system seems hideously broken on Steam so booting it up on Origin instead) that feeling of aimlessness returned, as well as a new awareness of the jarring switches between game stages, and how the space segment at the end dwarfs the other modes. But the experience of actually playing any of it has faded and been replaced by the sense that it was one of those games that just didn’t really seem to go anywhere. One was waddling around on land for the first time after graduating from the Cell stage to the Creature stage, and the other was the row about DRM. There are two Spore experiences I remember clearly from 2008. In many ways, Spore was No Man’s Sky before No Man’s Sky. Back in 2008, Spore was a source of daft community character creation joy, incredibly uneven ambition and a massive row about the digital rights management software EA insisted on using at launch. ![]() Navigate through the menu above to find a calculator for your problem. That is to say, for calculating the binary interaction parameter, the viscosities of binary component blends with equal fraction. Use this calculator for applications where you don’t have the right suspension fluid but have two others available that can be blended to the target viscosity. ![]() This can be anything from calculating your monthly payment on a mortgage or figuring out how many calories you can eat to lose weight. where mjk is the viscosity of the binary crude oil mixture with equal fraction(1:1) of the jth and kth components, and f (m) denotes the viscosity function in each viscosity model, e.g. Now, software built into websites and apps can do that for you. Gone are the days of looking up formulas and blasting away on your physical calculator with a notepad to figure out your problem. However in mixing a 0w with another 0w I'd be confident of -35F starts.Our mission is to provide the world with free and easy-to-use calculators to solve your daily problems. As stated earlier, mixing a 20w and 5w it would be wise to plan cold temperature use around the 20w specifications. Similar to liquid mixtures, gas mixtures also exhibit varying viscosities depending on their composition.However, calculating the viscosity of gas mixtures can be more complex due to the influence of factors such as pressure and temperature. True that it's not guaranteed, but you have to agree it's not certain that the resultant oil would not meet those standards. In fact don't you think that Exxon/Mobil would have issued some kind of warning by this day and age if there were any problems involved with mixing viscosities?Īdd to that the number of "frankenbrew" oil reports and threads on here - with no deleterious effects - and that answers that. In industrial practice, viscosities of solutions (meaning homogeneous products of dissolution of solids or gases in liquids) and fluid mixtures (meaning homogeneous mixtures resulting out of mixing of two or more fluids) are often needed for the design of the different unit operations and processes involved. You would think that mixing Mobil1 5w-20 and Mobil1 5w-30 for example would be safe. However if you take a common sense approach and are using oils from the same manufacturer it's safe to say that the blend is extremely likely to meet or exceed the required standard. A high viscosity index ensures consistent. The higher the viscosity index, the lower the viscosity change of an oil at fluctuating temperatures. If you look at it from an anal and regulatory perspective, then no, a mix doesn't have the licenses and approvals due to the fact that the company making the product simply hasn't submitted that blend for testing and approval. The viscosity of oils and base oils of lubricating greases from Klüber Lubrication can be determined by means of the known kinematic viscosity at 40 ☌ and 100 ☌. ![]() However in mixing a 0w with another 0w I'd be confident of -35F starts. Seventeen mixing rules reported in the literature used for predicting kinematic viscosity of petroleum and its fractions were examined for accuracy by comparing the estimated values with the experimental viscosities of four crude oils (21.31, 15.93, 12.42 and 9.89API gravity) and their blends with a diluent (diesel) at several proportion. As stated earlier, mixing a 20w and 5w it would be wise to plan cold temperature use around the 20w specifications. Click to expand.True that it's not guaranteed, but you have to agree it's not certain that the resultant oil would not meet those standards. ![]() Memory at f6000000 ( 32-bit, non-prefetchable) GF119M Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 34 Kernel modules: i91501 :00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119M ( rev a1) ( prog-if 00 ) Expansion ROM at 000 c0000 Ĭapabilities: MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-Ĭapabilities: Power Management version 2 Memory at d0000000 ( 64-bit, prefetchable) Memory at f7400000 ( 64-bit, non-prefetchable) ![]() 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controllerįlags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 33 Let's type the same lspci command from earlier, but this time, we'll run it on a laptop:Īs expected, we get a description of the graphics cards in the machine: 00 :02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3 rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller ( rev 09) ( prog-if 00 ) Many laptops have two graphics cards: one from the manufacturer of the central processing unit (CPU), and one from a mainstream GPU provider.

Let's assume the worst-case scenario and say the drivers for the graphics card were never installed, so you can't even look at those to get a clue. So how do you identify the graphics card in a Linux computer? To support something, you need to know what it is. ![]() The deer-in-headlights expression you receive in response speaks volumes. Hey, this might not be so bad after all! But then your short-lived flicker of hope is snuffed when you ask, "What kind of graphics card do you have?" Still, you pitch in! You quickly determine the issue is likely a display driver issue. You're drafted to provide support for a nontechie relative or work colleague, and something tells you this isn't going to be painless. Why Do You Need to Know What GPU You Have? Need to identify the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) in a Linux computer? Here's how you can identify the graphics card from the command line and in GNOME. ![]() Brad Stewart and Rick Maurer managed to duplicate nearly every aspect of early b&w games like Breakout and Space Invaders. Clearly everyone else knew what was important, and the rules weren't as unclear or unknown as he likes to claim - if you're doing a coin-op conversion, the objective is to COPY the arcade game as closely as possible. For Frye to say, "Nobody knew what was important" is nonsense. As for the color scheme, look at all the previous coin-op ports that were done. Anyone else would have dropped the 2-player option very early in the dev process, realizing what the restrictions were with having only 4K. He also claims having support for 2 players used up a lot of the available RAM he had, but that haivng it was an "essential part of Pac-Man" and thus refused to drop it, as if we were talking about a co-op feature like with Warlords. but that had he known, he would have fixed them. Tod Frye has often said he didn't understand why people complained about issues like the tunnels being on the wrong sides, or that the colors were completely wrong. It's rather amazing that it looks, sounds, and plays nothing like the original. ![]() And there wasn't even an attempt to have the classic theme song to start the game it just sounded like a couple of random notes that didn't even sound anything like a tune.Īn absolute travesty on so many levels, and for me the biggest letdown by far for any home arcade conversion. What also made this game awful was the poor color scheme and headache inducing flickering, not to mention the crude sounding sound effects. In fact, I remember that so strong was Atari's "influence," if you will, that after the 2600 version came out, anyone playing Pac-Man in the arcades were now referring to the new naming schemes. Also I disliked putting an eye on Pac-Man (maybe Atari didn't want kids to think Pac-Man was blind?), and that items were renamed - monsters became ghosts, energizers became power pills, etc. It made it feel like I hadn't accomplished anything after the game was over. I hated the new scoring scheme (e.g., 1 point instead of 10, 5 instead of 50, etc.). I enjoyed the arcade game like the rest of the world back in 1981, and with Atari having the ubiquitous rights for the home version (and generally doing a good job overall), what could wrong? Plenty. As with Donkey Kong (from Coleco) a year later, I remember the critical drubbing the 2600 version received upon release. ![]() Note that almost all of the downloads available from these websites can also be found in the Microsoft Download Center however, the other Microsoft sites may offer services and information that you may not find in the Download Center.

Finally, the nuggets are packaged, frozen and stored for shipping. The pieces are then fried in oil until the batter has set and the outside reaches the desired color. The pieces are battered and breaded in a large cylindrical drum that rotates, evenly coating all of the pieces in the desired spices and breading. If used, this paste is then shaped before battering). This is done either manually, or by a series of automatic blades, or by a process called grinding (a method of deboning in which the softer parts of the chicken carcass are forced through a mesh, leaving behind the more solid pieces, resulting in a meat paste. The chicken is cut and shaped to the correct size. The processing required for making chicken nuggets begins with deboning. The authors concluded that "Chicken nuggets are mostly fat, and their name is a misnomer." Manufacturingįurther information: Poultry farming Fast food Chicken McNuggets from McDonald's Other components included epithelial tissue, bone, nervous tissue and connective tissue. ![]() It found that less than half of the material was skeletal muscle, with fat occurring in an equal or greater proportion. ![]() A study published in the American Journal of Medicine analyzed the composition of chicken nuggets from two American fast food chains. Nutritional informationĬhicken nuggets are generally regarded as a fatty, unhealthy food. Baker's innovations solved these problems and made it possible to form chicken nuggets in any shape by first coating the meat in vinegar, salt, grains, and milk powder to make it hold together and then using an egg- and grain-based batter that could be fried as well as frozen. Two problems the meat industry was facing at the time were being able to clump ground meat without a skin and producing a batter coating that could be both deep fried and frozen without becoming detached. Bite-sized pieces of chicken, coated in batter and then deep fried, were called "Chicken Crispies" by Baker and his associates. Baker, a food science professor at Cornell University, and published as unpatented academic work. The chicken nugget was developed in the 1950s by Robert C. ![]() Developed in the 1950s by finding a way to make a coating adhere, chicken nuggets have become a very popular fast food restaurant item, and are widely sold frozen for home use.
