While the C7000 doesn't have the richest software, it's enough to manage your network effectively with little to no fuss. Compared to the Xfinity modem that we have lying around, it's a huge improvement. Wireless Spec: Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) | Security: WPA2 | Standard/Speed: DOCSIS 3.0 / AC1900 | Bands: Dual-band | MU-MIMO: No | Beamforming: Yes | Wired Ports: 4įor such a high-end modem, the Netgear Nighthawk C7000 is surprisingly thin and light. If you have a home big enough where a room isn't used all that often (or rooms, for that matter), and you have a super-high-speed gigabit connection (your cable company can tell you this), this could be the combo modem router for you. Another bonus is that if you're an Xfinity phone service customer, you can plug your landline handset right in. It really comes down to whether you're a gamer or stream to different TVs in the house at the same time. These capabilities are reflected in the higher price tag, and it could be overkill for the average user's internet needs. Capable of a pretty fast connection? Check! Four ports for lots of additional devices? Check! A good range for big homes (2,500 square feet): Check! Not ugly: Check (mostly)! If you consider yourself a power user and you're an Xfinity, Spectrum, or Cox user, the Netgear Nighthawk C7000 might check all the boxes. One more caveat is that if your internet connection includes a voice package (confusingly called VOIP, you'll know if you have it as you will have a phone number as part of your internet package), you'll need to look at this model's older brother: the Motorola MT7711. It's also more than capable of doing a great job with Zoom or FaceTime calls. It's the standard for really, really sharp pictures. It can easily stream your movies and TV in 4K, also called Ultra HD. The MG7700 has four ethernet ports for you to hook up some equipment via a physical cable for better speed and reliability, which is often a good idea for devices like a games console, Smart TV, or Apple TV. But this unit is just inoffensive enough that you can put it on a side table in the living room and not be embarrassed.Ĭrucially for when things go wrong, the light indicators are also easy to see and understand-something you don't typically find in a modem from a cable company. To get the best range from its wireless signal, you don't want to hide the modem/router behind furniture or in a closet. One of the best features of the Motorola MG7700 we like most has nothing to do with its technical prowess: It's not terribly ugly. Still, as a rough guide, if you're on a basic plan, it almost certainly won't be what's known as a 1-gigabit connection, and if it is, we've got picks for you below. Your cable company (or even your monthly bill) will be able to tell you what speed connection you have. If it's time to upgrade your modem and your router, the Motorola MG7700 is likely the right one for you if you're a customer of Comcast Xfinity, Cox, or Spectrum and don't pay extra for a superfast plan.

I got this set because it was my birthday. Review by my 8 year old who it was for and he built it himself: Rating from what we have, I do not recommend this one, there are other, sturdier builds around. I imagine this is not how it is supposed to be and we just got a slightly unfortunate dinosaur. This is not a child friendly set as you will lose half the main dinosaur on the first play. I am also not a fan of the trees that just fall over with the slightest bump, it would be nice if they locked into place and had a hidden switch to operate, like we see in many of the Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean sets. Love the Jurassic series, though this set is one of the worst I have purchased, in terms of the arms falling off the Indominous Rex, as soon as they rotate they fall off the Dinosaur, the tail also has this problem, as soon as it moves the tail just falls off. mais cela ne justifie absolument pas le prix complètement éclaté!Ī noter l'erreur très grossière sur la boite: Lego a inversé les noms des enfants Mitchell. Le set de la gamme Jurassic World le plus fidèle au film! Les dinosaures sont magnifiques, la construction de la station de gyrosphères est plaisante, et une mention spéciale pour la présence de l'ensemble des personnages principaux du premier film. The gyrosphere station measures over 4" (12cm) high, 10" (27cm) wide and 10" (27cm) deep - and this action-packed dinosaur adventure set combines brilliantly with other LEGO Jurassic World sets for extra creative funīoth dinosaurs were not included in the set.A cool birthday, Christmas or surprise present, this 537-piece LEGO playset offers a fun, rewarding building challenge and creative solo- or group-play experience for boys and girls aged 8 and up.
There are three easy ways to do engine bells in Blender I think of immediately: - vertex-sculpt from cylinder after hollowing it by boolean modifier (fast and easy) - grow from circle by extruding regions (moderate time and effort) - twisting curves that should match inner and outer walls (extra fast but you'll need good imagination. Inline 2.5-3.75m parts with radially attached radiators look more plausible. considering how much heat some of processes need or produce. One can use molecular sieves to remove CO2 from breatjing air for smallest light vehicles like drop pod, but for large scale procession it's a no-no IMHO. Why separate when you can integrate? On the other hand PSA/VPSA processes are best realistic non-cryogenic I can think of for atmospheric ISRU. Having two configs is not much harder then having one. GOOD option for those who hate to wait for RO/RSS or just like Kerbol system as it is. molten lead for example is one of plausible components to form Eve oceans. With such THICK atmosphere and so close to Kerbol Eve must have the same "greenhouse" problem as real Venus, so. Some species of real world microbes have much wierder biochemistry. But we are playing with aliens! Alien biology! Why can't we for example have radiosynthetic algae that uses local radiation to power CO2 conversion? It's plausible. Ok, Laythe is too far from Kerbol to recieve enough light for photosynthesis. Why do you think that gas giant satellite may not have free oxygen in atmosphere? Ok, for lifeless worlds it's almost impossible. A border between playable game and boring scientific project with plenty of calculations is not so wide. There is absolutely no fun to fight against real n-body physics without MechJeb to help or reworked patched conics calculator at least. That would call for development of some VERY powerful ingame instruments to play with. But I surely want to know which parts of each assembly should be modelled and which may be omitted, how they look and what are their relative dimensions. Why two? It's just a powerful fridge, no difference for variety of gases. More realistic is something like this NASA regolith excavator concept is some subtype of general rotor excavator. we have a choice between PSA/VPSA unit with it's own air intake and PSA/VPSA unit without that, relying on MM-modified stock air intakes. I already wrote about molecular sieves and you don't like the idea of cryogenic separator that ouputs liquid products, so. Useless without molecular sieves or PSA/VPSA unit or cryogenic separator. HTP is pretty crappy monopropellant (ISP = 161s) and not very stable oxidizer. Why not to pyrolise Hydrazine when you lack Nitrogen for example? It has something to do with ISRU? Hydrogen peroxide is decomposing by itself with a small amount of heat or light or you can just dip something silver into it for reaction start. It looks a good idea to have a general pyroliser unit for all reactions of that type. Gas fraction pyroliser is even simpler in construction. Then there will be a choice between synthezing CH4 for fuel or saving that precious hydrogen for drinkable water and burn ineffective CO instead. CO usefullness is questionable until RF will treat it as legitimate fuel and RISRU reach the point of operating asteroid resources. Electrolyser, Sabatier reactor and Pyroliser cover all needed conversions between H2O, CO2, O2 and CH4. Air Force sustaining its aircraft, its facilities, its infrastructure, and systems.

However, it seems that both he and I ended up preferring trunks. "Before having many TMI conversations with my husband, I would have chosen boxer briefs."Trunks offer the best assessment of what I'm gonna get when they come off."."I like that the legs are a little bit shorter but not so short that it looks like a bikini bottom.".I like that I'm not the only one that can wear something tight." "Tight enough to show off a nice butt."I feel like they would highlight the butt well."."Makes me think of Zoolander for some reason.".Women were into these but didn't have extremely strong opinions, except for when it came to big branded logos which they pretty much all hated. Think Cristiano Ronaldo wearing his own line of underwear. They often come in more athletic fabrics and colors. The Best of the Trunks: Trunks are basically boxer briefs with shorter legs. These guys are more confident and not afraid of losing masculinity in normal underwear." "I love how briefs make a guys butt look."."I like men who are in shape and comfortable with their sexuality and briefs represent that at least among western dudes.".Why Women Love Them: Here's why women preferred briefs over any other type of underwear. White piping makes your junk look like a cartoon." "White is like your dad's underwear which, like, no.Boys don't separate their lights and darks, and white gets dingy fast." "If you're going to wear a garment vaguely resembling women's bikini bottoms, keep it simple."Not really into this style because it reminds me of my dad, so I went with the least dad, most design-oriented pair.".Tighty-whiteys have sort of a cultural stigma and the black with white piping reminds me of American Apparel: a nexus between cheesy and skeevy." "Gray isn't virginal like white briefs, but it's light enough that you can still see the outlines of your junk."."I'm not a huge briefs fan, but I have seen too many pictures of David Beckham in gray briefs to not be attracted to them.".Others said they remind them of their dad. Many referred to them as "tighty-whities" in a derogatory fashion. The Best of the Briefs: Most of the women we asked were not fans of briefs. "Mostly I like slim-cut boxers in technical fabrics, but the appearance of those is closest to boxer briefs, which are appealing because they're more manly in appearance than briefs and more form-conscious than boxers."."I like boxer briefs because there is no chance of a peek-a-boo sighting."Boxer briefs are so attractive on a man they are complimentary and boxers give too much freedom :)".Boxers are what my dad wears, briefs are what the 7-year-old I nanny wears." "Makes the butt and thighs look great.I'm not into taking a guys pants off and seeing boxers with reindeer on them in June." "They are the most manly looking to me."Boxer briefs are like the Goldilocks of men's underwear. "Sexier than boxers and accentuate thighs.".They're also what men are wearing whenever a man appears in an ad for women, so I associate them with hot dudes." "Boxer briefs make men look more muscly.Why Women Love Them: Here's why women preferred boxers briefs over any other type of men's underwear. He knew nothing about baseball and he detested everything American. When he was an adolescent, he considered himself a disciple of Sartre. In fact, he became one hundred per cent French. Tex spent the rest of his childhood in France. Mais en 1998, tout d'un coup sa vie a changé quand il a découvert que ses parents étaient. Il ne connaissait rien au baseball et détestait tout ce qui était américain. Quand il était adolescent, il se considérait comme un disciple de Sartre. En fait, il est devenu cent pour cent français. Tex a passé le reste de son enfance en France. Eight hours later, the plane arrived in Paris, where Tex would start his new French life! As he was examining a plane more closely, a man abruptly took him and threw him inside with the baggage. Fascinated by all the noise and motion, he rushed to the planes. Fortunately, after hours and hours, he found the entrance to the Bush International Airport. Huit heures plus tard, l'avion est arrivé à Paris, où Tex commencerait sa nouvelle vie française! Tandis qu'il examinait un avion de plus près, un homme l' a brusquement pris et il l' a jeté à l'intérieur avec les bagages. Fasciné par le bruit et le mouvement, il s'est précipité vers les avions. Heureusement, après des heures et des heures, il a trouvé l'entrée de aéroport Bush International. Un jour, pendant une promenade, il s'est perdu. This little armadillo, curious by nature, always loved to take long walks with his friends to explore the nooks and crannies of the suburbs, above all the highways! When Tex was very small, he lived in the suburbs of Houston with his family. Ce petit tatou, curieux de nature, aimait toujours faire de longues promenades avec ses amis pour explorer les coins et recoins de la banlieue, surtout les autoroutes! Quand Tex était tout petit, il habitait dans la banlieue de Houston avec sa famille. Which serves as explanatory background to the plot-line events in the passé composé. In the following story, note how the narration opens with an extended description of Tex' early childhood in the imparfait, One day, the French authorities deported Tex. Un jour, les autorités françaises ont expulsé Tex. (The imparfait sets the scene to be interrupted) One day, Tex was selling T-shirts in Paris when he was arrested for illegal activity. Un jour, Tex vendait des T-shirts à Paris quand il a été arrêté pour activité illégale. Look at these examples:īut ultimately it is the entire context that determines which of these two past tenses to use and not a given adverb.įor example, in the sentences below, the same adverb, un jour, is used with the imperfect or the passé composé according to the context. On the other hand, the imparfait is used for indefinite lengths of time. The passé composé is also generally used for activities that lasted for a precise length of time, with a definite beginning and end. Quand j' ai eu 18 ans, j' ai déménagé à Austin. Tammy: When I was 15, I used to live in Fort Worth. Tammy: Quand j' avais 15 ans, j' habitais à Fort Worth. However, when these verbs (and others like them) occur in the passé composé, they indicate a change of state or a change of condition. Vouloir, and savoir are in a past narration, they will be in the imparfait, since they most likely describe a past state of being or condition. Usually, when verbs like être, avoir, pouvoir, The following adverbs are commonly associated with each of the past tenses:Ĭhaque jour, chaque matin, chaque mois. Might subvert this rule but this is out of a conscious effort to surprise or unsettle their reader. In general, all stories have a well delineated plot line of events, the foreground, and a background of supporting details and description. Narrating a story entails both describing a setting (habitual actions, atmosphere, places and people) and recounting a plot or a series of events, actions,Ĭhanges of feelings or thoughts. States of being in the past, or past habits.Īll this takes on special importance in narration of past actions, when both tenses often occur in the same story. Generally, the passé composé is used to relate events while the imparfait is used to describe what was going on in the past, On the other hand, you will usually put a verb in the imparfait if it answers the question 'What was going on when something else happened?' The passé composé is used in French in answer the question 'What happened?' He once said he didn’t know any writers and preferred to hang out with scientists. McCarthy, who bought the Olivetti for $50 in 1958 and used it until 2009, donated it so the proceeds could be used to benefit the Santa Fe Institute, a nonprofit interdisciplinary scientific research community. In 2009, Christie’s auction house sold the Olivetti typewriter he used while writing such novels as “The Road” and “No Country for Old Men” for $254,500. Just when things were really, really bleak, something would happen,” said McCarthy, who won a MacArthur Fellowship - one of the so-called “genius grants” - in 1981. “I don’t pretend to understand women,” he told Winfrey. “Stella Maris” was notable, in part, because it centered on a female character, an acknowledged weakness of McCarthy’s. But in 2022, Knopf made the startling announcement that it would release a pair of connected novels he had referred to in the past: “The Passenger” and “Stella Maris,” narratives about a brother and sister, mutually obsessed siblings, and the legacy of their father, a physicist who had worked on atomic technology. “Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.”Īfter “The Road,” little was heard from McCarthy over the next 15 years and his career was presumed over. “It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, ‘each the other’s world entire,’ are sustained by love,” the citation read in part. McCarthy dedicated the book to his son, John Francis, and said having a child as an older man “forces the world on you, and I think it’s a good thing.” The Pulitzer committee called his book “the profoundly moving story of a journey.” Fans of the Coens would discover that the film’s terse, absurdist dialogue, so characteristic of the brothers’ work, was lifted straight from the novel. He broke through commercially in 1992 with “All the Pretty Horses” and over the next 15 years won the National Book Award and the Pulitzer, was a guest on Oprah Winfrey’s show and saw his novel “No Country for Old Men” adapted by the Coen brothers into an Oscar-winning movie. Little known to the public at age 60, he would become one of the country’s most honored and successful writers despite rarely talking to the press. McCarthy’s own story was one of belated, and continuing, achievement and popularity. “And since death comes to all there is no way to abate the fear of it except to love that man who stands for us.” “Every man’s death is a standing in for every other,” McCarthy wrote in “Cities of the Plain,” the trilogy’s final book. Across stark and forbidding landscapes and rundown border communities, he placed drifters, thieves, prostitutes and old, broken men, all unable to escape fates determined for them well before they were born.Īs the doomed John Grady Cole of McCarthy’s celebrated “Border” trilogy would learn, dreams of a better life were only dreams, and falling in love an act of folly. McCarthy’s themes, like Faulkner’s, often were bleak and violent and dramatized how the past overwhelmed the present.

In contrast, companies that deployed new combinations of technologies not extensively used before performed much better. What would happen if instead of going with integrated technologies you rely on combinations of technologies from different suppliers that are not usually combined and don’t automate data sharing between each other? In our study, we found that firms that had built their websites for efficiency, electing tightly integrated services from closely linked suppliers, suffered disproportionately when GDPR came into force. Producers such as Google took their time to adapt their components to ensure their own compliance, which generated additional uncertainty. Moreover, the firm would need to ensure that any changes it implemented would not affect its ability to monitor video activity within Google Analytics. Even though WordPress provides support on how to integrate Google Analytics, the firm would need to discover what GDPR meant for its WordPress website collecting data with Google Analytics. The three components are interdependent, so that the firm faced more complex and costly adaptation to GDPR. For example, an EU-based firm that used YouTube and WordPress may have adopted Google Analytics to track its customers’ activity. Unfortunately, tech firms that provide the software often struggle to ensure their own compliance and focus on optimizing their own performance during this transition, possibly at the expense of their users’ performance. But you now have many strong interdependencies, and data sharing agreements with third parties, to consider when working towards compliance. This might make you more efficient in harnessing customer data. When building a digital service like an e-commerce website, you can choose connected components, often from a small group of suppliers, that are commonly used together. To explore this, we conducted a large-scale empirical study of 400 e-commerce firms to understand the implications of the tension between efficiency and flexibility on firm performance in response to GDPR. Can companies achieve competitive advantage by deploying less integrated technologies? The problem is that these very interdependencies are an obstacle on the path toward compliance. For example, e-commerce firms may rely on Google Analytics to track their customers’ behavior, and use Mailchimp for email marketing, which integrates easily with Google Analytics to analyze conversion rates of email marketing campaigns.Į-commerce companies have relied heavily on these highly interdependent technologies to make sure their websites ran efficiently. Highly integrated technologies facilitate the exchange and use of customer data. California’s Privacy Rights Act and Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act went into effect on January 1, 2023, while the Colorado and Connecticut Privacy Acts will become operative on July 1, 2023.īut as companies adapt their IT infrastructure to deal with new privacy regulations, they are coming up against a tradeoff between flexibility and efficiency.
