This NASA chart shows the path of the Feb. ![]() If you hear loud screeches when you pull away from a stoplight, a loose belt is probably the cause. Make sure they are all in good condition. Older cars have more than one belt to run these devices. If your car has less than 50,000 miles, it’s probably fine. Newer cars often have one large belt, called a serpentine, which runs the water pump and all the accessories (A/C, power steering and alternator). If they’re at all ragged, torn, cracked or showing the fiber cords, it’s time for fresh ones. Belts: Check the engine belts by turning them sideways with your hand so you can see the friction surface.As a precaution, buy a hose-patch kit at the local auto parts store. It’s easier to do it now than in the 112-degree heat of Death Valley. If your hoses have cracks or blisters, replace them. Look for bulges or blisters, which indicate a weakness in the hose wall. Also check your heater hoses, which run from the engine (usually near the thermostat housing) into the firewall and back. The extra stress on the hose from the pipe collar and hose clamp means they typically crack and fail there first. Look first at where both the input and output radiator hoses attach to the engine and to the radiator. Once a hose gets hard, it cracks and hot water spurts out. At high temps, the plasticizers that make rubber squishy leach out at a faster rate. In a car, they are regularly exposed to temperatures around the 212-degree boiling point. Hoses: Rubber hoses would last 10 years if all they did were sit on a shelf.While they are under the car, have them give the drive-shaft U-joints and any other grease points a squirt of grease. A regular oil-change shop can handle the greasy job of changing manual transmission oil and the differential oil. Check your owner’s manual for their change intervals, as they are quite a bit longer than engine oil. Transmission and differential fluids: Did you forget about the other oil reservoirs in your car? Both your transmission and drive axle have their own lubricant supply.It will also cut friction losses in the engine and bump your fuel economy while creating savings that you’ll see magnified on a long drive. If you’re traveling in hot weather or pulling a trailer, a fully synthetic engine oil such as Mobil Super™ Synthetic can give you the extra protection against thermal breakdowns that you need. If you’ll be going long distances, consider opting for a synthetic motor oil. Nellie deserves better than a crankcase full of gunky old oil as she hauls you up the Loveland Pass. If you’re close to the manufacturer-recommended oil-change interval listed in your manual, then change it. Engine oil: Check your oil levels and the date you’re due for an oil change, preferably in your driveway before you embark on that first 29-hour leg.Your family is counting on you to take a few preventative measures before you hurl them into the gauntlet of our national highway system. Below are just a few reminders that may slip your mental checklist in the rush to get bags packed and kids fed. We’re not talking about rebuilding the cylinder head or performing a line-bore on the crankshaft mains. Those who neglect doing a quick mechanical check-over – even of newer cars – before taking to the highway are begging to be stranded. Don’t forget to add jumper cables, a spare tire, and any roadside assistance supplies in your trunk in case of emergencies.The summer road trip is as American as apple pie and Fourth of July fireworks, so don’t fail in your national duty to hit the road this year just because Old Nellie is overdue for some car maintenance. Store Emergency Supplies: After you’ve ensured that the car is in good shape, and up to date on its inspection, you are well on your way to a smooth road trip. Look Under The Hood: If you’ve parked your car outside all these months, take a peek under the hood and in the trunk to make sure a heat-seeking animal hasn’t made itself at home. If the vibration doesn’t go away, see a tire specialist for an inspection. The amount of driving distance and time may vary to see results, but reaching normal highway speeds for more than 20 minutes will reduce flat spotting. The best way to avoid flat spots is by regularly driving your vehicle the warming up from the rotation of the tire will cause the flat spot to go away and the vibration to diminish. As you drive, these “flat” spots cause a vibration you can feel. ![]() Flat Spotting: Another potential concern is flat-spotting, which occurs when the weight of the vehicle sits on one spot, flattening out a portion of the rubber on the tire. ![]() The person you are assisting must give you permission to access their PC. Next, the person at the other PC clicks the Allow button, granting permission for you to access their PC. You can choose to control the other person’s PC or just view what’s on their PC’s screen.ħ.

Like Edward, Laurie keeps mementos of her superhero life displayed in her apartment and she yearns for her past romance (with Doctor Manhattan but also with Nite Owl, whom she wants to spring from federal custody) despite the grimy parts of days gone by. (Before she was arrested in 1995, Laurie changed her superhero identity to The Comedienne). The secret of Watchmen's reinvention of Laurie Blake is that Lindelof' has turned her into a new version of the Comedian, with all of the connotations that evolution entails. ![]() Related: Watchmen: Our 9 Biggest Unanswered Questions About Season 1, Episode 3 With Agent Dale Petey (Dustin Ingram) in tow (Petey is the author of the memos in the tie-in Peteypedia website), Laurie encounters the Tulsa Police, including Looking Glass (Tim Blake Nelson) and Sister Night (Regina King). And yet, at the request of Senator Joe Keene (James Wolk), Agent Blake reluctantly accepts the assignment to investigate the murder of Chief Judd Crawford (Don Johnson) in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Today, Laurie is cynical, hard-edged, and highly-intelligent, but she's also, deep down, very messed up. This means Laurie, a former superhero, is now using her lifelong expertise to capture vigilantes who are violating the Keene Act of 1977 - just as she herself did from 1985 to 1995 during and after the events of the Watchmen graphic novel. ![]() Watchmen episode 3, "She Was Killed By Space Junk", is an early high point for the series that introduces Jean Smart as Laurie Blake, who is now a federal agent assigned to the FBI's Anti-Vigilante Task Force. Running out of popularity with any of the three groups means the end of Fidèle’s career and a Game Over. For example, sentencing a corrupt landlord will win favor with the Commoners and lose favor with the Aristocracy, while acquitting a rapist that helped storm the Bastille will please the Revolutionaries but displease the Commoners. The results of these verdicts lead to bonuses (or limits) in other aspects of the experience.Īnother consequence of his rulings is that every verdict influences the way different groups in society think about Fidèle - the Common Folk, the Revolutionaries, and the Aristocracy. If it doesn’t, his reputation takes a hit. If the verdict matches the jury’s opinion, it positively impacts Fidèle’s reputation as a judge. Whenever the player feels like it, a verdict can be given. Recall of the information is tested via a ‘linkingĮvidence’ minigame, questions can be asked to the defendant, and witnesses can The player can freely scroll through several case files, navigatingĪnd choosing dialogue. Instead of merely being a judge or influential politician, Fidèle is given a human dimension and feels like an actual citizen, both victim of and guilty of the Terror.Ĭourtroom. However, the ambition of the developers is even greater - they aim to simulate the hardships civilians had to sustain throughout that time.Īlexis is caught in the middle of this struggle and evolves from a family man attempting to care for his family to a paranoid politician willing to seize control of Paris, and this ambition works phenomenally well. Initially, W.tR is reminiscent of courtroom action similar to Phoenix Wright with a focus on morally weighing the evidence presented and delivering a verdict. ![]() Playing as Alexis Fidèle, a fictional judge of the Revolutionary Tribunal, the player is tasked with the daily activity of determining the fates of the era’s most prominent figures. The Revolution is a role-playing strategy game set in Paris during the Reign of Terror. ![]() WTF It feels like a new mode is introduced every hour. LOW A game-breaking glitch that took two weeks to be patched. HIGH The feeling of being in Paris, 1794. I’m all for saving money but with things, this important to the end consumer extra care really needs to be taken. One problem phrase can soon find itself making its way on to almost all of your translated information, partly driven by the bizarre trend of not charging for, or checking 101/ICEs matches provided by large agencies. They then get used to returning ICEs or 101% matches (depending on your Translation Engine of choice). The problem is made worse by adding incorrect terms, such as these, to a translation memory without the help of a terminologist. We now provide all of their language support. I took my translation team around a store in-country to see for themselves exactly what had happened. And they are if you want to legally sell your product in a French-speaking part of the world. Are nuts and walnuts different? They are if your child has an allergy. The translation house in question claimed to use professional translators (aligned with EN15038 which means a translator, reviewer and an independent QA is employed to check the target document translation) and yet we found examples of text which had been translated using the same output Google Translate spits out.įor the phrase “May contain nuts”, Google translate returns the French translation of ‘may contain nuts’ as ‘Peut contenir des noix’ – looks about right, doesn’t it? Well, noix translates as walnuts so the phrase returned can be understood as ‘may contain walnuts’. ![]() If you’re trying to remove an incumbent company a great way of getting the client to listen to you is for you to proofread their text and present the findings to them, especially if it has a legal connotation to it (for instance food packaging or medical documentation). Whenever I spot this (believe me we can tell) I do my best to tell the company involved.Įarlier this year we used this very method to remove a translation agency supplying a very large global retailer with translation to be used on their international packing. What really makes me sad is when we see examples of translation companies using Google Translate as their own work. One of the most popular posts on the language blog is about when packaging translation goes wrong. When companies rely on this type of machine translation, the shortcuts become painfully obvious to readers of the final product. Machines are unable to accurately convey or understand all the nuances involved with a localization project. The practice of maintaining a multinational marketing message and ensuring the feel of the original language is kept the same takes a high degree of knowledge and skill that can only come (at least for the moment) from human involvement. How do we compete with something that’s perceived as being free? I can talk about how much time, effort and money are required to get the original English document right, so surely when approaching the translation aspect, at least some respect should be paid to the quality of language used, especially when the originator may not be able to read the results. Over the years I’ve lost quite a few projects to people translating legal contracts, user guides, websites and most recently, translating food packaging, with Google Translate. ![]()
![]() Next time I will try to parbake, just to see if there's a difference, but it still turned out pretty decent. Just added everything in there, then baked it on the bottom rack at 350 for about an hour. I was also in a hurry, so didn't parbake the crust. The custard didn't seem like it will all fit, but I scooted the peaches around with my fingers, working it around everything pretty evenly. (I used my own pie crust recipe I always have some on hand in the freezer.) Six peaches is a little vague as far as volume goes, so I went with five cups of slices to be safe. I haven't actually cut into it yet, but by all accounts, I do believe I'll LOVE this one! I'm making a fried chicken dinner tomorrow night for an elderly friend (by request), and thought this would be the perfect treat to end with, especially since peaches are in season. Serve the tart warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Spread with a pastry brush over the top of the warm tart. Combine the preserves or jelly and orange juice.When cool, remove the side wall of the pan. Transfer the tart pan to a wire rack to cool. Cover with an aluminum foil tent if the crust gets too dark. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour, until the custard sets and is pale golden in color. Combine the egg yolks, sour cream, sugar, and flour and beat until smooth.Overfill the crust, as the peaches will shrink during cooking. Arrange the fresh peach slices in overlapping circles on top of the crust, until it's completely covered. If using fresh peaches, peel and thickly slice the peaches.Bake for about 15 minutes, until the crust is set but not browned. When the dough has formed a ball, pat with lightly floured hands into the bottom and sides of an ungreased 10-inch tart plan with a removable bottom and 1/2 inch sides. ![]() Please the flour, butter and sour cream in a food processor and pulse to combine. ![]() ![]() Luckily for her, the demigod Perseus is there to save the day - and to give us one of Greek mythology’s greatest episodes of monster vs. The vengeful god of the oceans dispatches the serpentine Cetus to attack the kingdom, and the poor princess is tied to a rock near the sea in an attempt to appease it. When the Aethopian Queen Cassiopeia ticks off the Poseidon, her daughter Andromeda pays the price. This post will introduce them - and show you the books you'll want to dive into for their stories.įor your reading ease, we’ve divided our highly scientific taxonomy of sea monsters into eight categories: the scaly, the squishy, the sharky, the shelled, the shape-shifting, the sacrosanct, the (maybe surprisingly) sexy, and finally, the (miscellaneously) scary. Spine-chilling, stupendous, and sometimes even seductive, sea monsters have haunted literature’s depths since the days of Homer’s wine-dark sea. And yeah, here's why I have been shouting for two years now, get an 8GB card, as with ultra quality settings in Ultra HD, it won't even be enough.40+ Stupendous Sea Monsters (in Stories You’ll Want to Dive Into) It's densely populated, lots of traffic and many things are going on. We test at Little China in the City, outside. Utilized graphics memory will vary a lot per scene and where you are in the game. VRAM behaviors are tested with the RTX 3090 as it has 24 GB of graphics memory available. Mind you, the VRAM results are based on ultra quality in-game. At Ultra-quality settings, you'll even pass 8 GB. With your max quality settings, this game tries to stay at almost an 8GB threshold. Often the denser and more complex a scene is (entering a scene with lots of buildings or vegetation, for example) results in higher utilization. This game will consume graphics memory once you start to move around in-game memory utilization is dynamic and can change at any time. Graphics memory usage can fluctuate per game scene and activity in games. Keep in mind these are never absolute values. The listed MBs used in the chart are the measured utilized graphics memory during our testing. How much graphics memory does the game utilize versus your monitor resolution with different graphics cards and respective VRAM sizes? Well, let's have a look at the chart below compared to the three main tested resolutions. ![]() In order to achieve a somewhat decent framerate overall to measure in, raytraced lighting was left disabled. For Raytracing, we enabled Raytraced Shadows and Raytraced reflections. For NVIDIA DLSS is OFF here to compare directly and equally in between GeForce versus Radeon. We charted up the latest series RTX 3000 cards from NVIDIA and the RX 6000 series from AMD. Nice news for the Radeon series 6000 owners were also the support for DirectX Raytracing. Overall performance did not increase, however, hundreds of bugs have been addressed. In late March a new patch for Cyberpunk 2077 has been introduced, v1.2 of the game now has seen many fixes. Raytracing NVIDIA versus AMD Radeon with patch 1.2 (update April 2nd 2021) RT Shadows remain enabled as well as RT lighting, though at medium quality. However, be warned, Medium RTX quality mode Ray-traced reflection, and that's the most beautiful one in the RTX toolset. So at 2560x1440, you'd be moving from 50 FPS to 60~65 FPS. As you can see, and this could easily be WQHD as well, then we can boost performance with Raytracing 20%, maybe 25% depending in scenes. In both cases, we keep DLSS enabled at quality modus. ![]() let's first look at the plot with the RTX 3070 again in ultra HD Below Ultra Raytracing Quality is enabled with DLSS quality mode.Ĭyberpunk offers two Raytracing models Ultra and Medium. I was able to run a quick batch of Raytracing results. And keep in Mind, RTX would be unplayable with DLSS disabled. We still need to analyze, but it's on the to-do list for those that cannot wait. Jumping from medium quality to Ultra quality, however, does mean the loss of detail. The game does look really beautiful in UHD. Below an example of FPS behavior showing the primary IQ spread setup at Ultra HD (3840x2160) and a GeForce RTX 3070. If Ultra quality is too hefty, throttle down a notch to medium or high-quality settings, and you'll soon learn that it can really help. But as it turns out, the game can be a brutal theatre to observe in the highest resolutions, and only the very best graphics cards will be able to handle it. We know, as a PC gamer, you want Ultra quality settings. ![]() ![]()
