6/12/2023 0 Comments Qwop cheats iphone![]() ![]() Kotaku called the iPhone version "4000 Percent More Impossible" than the original game and "An Olympic Challenge For Thumbs". The player controls QWOP's legs and arms by moving their thumbs around in the diamonds on the screen. The App version follows the same gameplay as with the original version, but the controls differ. Alternative versions Īn iPhone app of the game was released in 2011. QWOP appeared on the season 9 premiere of the American sitcom The Office. The Guinness World Records awarded Chintamani, Karnataka resident Roshan Ramachandra for doing the fastest 100m run on the game on April 10, 2013, doing it in 51 seconds. On July 27, 2011, QWOP was featured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and was part of an event called " Arcade" hosted by the video game art and culture company Kill Screen. QWOP featured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in July 2011. Despite the criticism for the game's difficulty due to the controls, the game helped Foddy's site reach 30 million hits, according to Wired, and, also ever since the game was released, has been played by millions of people, although numbers have declined. Foddy says that he gets a lot of hate mail for making QWOP. Though the objective of QWOP is simple, the game, ever since it was released, has been notorious for being difficult to master due to its controls with the Q, W, O and P keys. The actual amount of movement of a joint is affected by the resistance due to forces from gravity and inertia placed upon it. The O and P keys work in the same way as the Q and W keys, but with the runner's calves. The Q key drives the runner's right thigh forward and left thigh backward, and the W key also affects the thighs and does the opposite. The Q and W keys each drive one of the runner's thighs, while the O and P keys work the runner's calves. Using only the Q, W, O and P keys, players must control the movement of the athlete's legs to make the character move forward while trying to avoid falling over. Players play as an athlete named "Qwop", who is participating in a 100-meter event at the Olympic Games. QWOP 's title refers to the four keyboard keys used to move the muscles of the sprinter avatar If I had put a social leaderboard or par system in, those people would probably have all quit out of frustration, leaving only the most determined or masochistic players behind." Gameplay and reception Some people would feel like winners if they ran 5 meters, and others would feel like winners if they inched all the way along the track over the course of an hour. "One of the things I found with QWOP is that people like to set their own goals in a game. Foddy had been playing games ever since he got his first computer (a ZX Spectrum 48K) at age 5. He taught himself to make games while he was procrastinating from finishing his dissertation in philosophy. QWOP was created in November 2008 by Bennett Foddy for his site, when Foddy was a deputy director and senior research fellow of the Programme on the Ethics of the New Biosciences, The Oxford Martin School, part of the University of Oxford.

![]() ![]() Problems may arise if the file is opened on a different computer, or a computer on another OS platform. When a design contains active text objects the same exact font files used to create that design must be present on the computer to avoid font substitution issues. If a font cannot be embedded, it also might not allow outlining, in this case, using an Acrobat preflight to outline fonts, or using a different font, might be the only options.Ĭonverting text to outlines in graphic designs will help artwork be more portable and easier to archive for long term use and re-use. Occasionally you may find fonts that do not allow embedding, in that case you might have to outline the font before sending it for Print.This is less common than it was 20 years ago, most commercial printers accept PDFs. By converting text to a vector, it can be printed from anywhere. In some cases, a printer may not have the font which is used in your document. There are occasions when you are forced to use a commercial printer which requires outlined fonts.ai files (which can be packaged like InDesign files), PDFs with embedded fonts do not need the font installed on the machine for viewing or printing. You will be able to open and print your artwork even if you don’t have the actual font used in the document installed on your machine.Live type is generally superior for on-screen viewing. Your text will appear smooth and crisp at any size or resolution.Outlined text can be scaled infinitely without any loss of image quality.That said, using an Acrobat preflight profile to outline fonts is one of the safest ways to do it with non-Illustrator PDFs. I also wanted to point out that editing an Illustrator PDF in Acrobat can break it. Drawbacks include reduced quality on-screen viewing (type hinting is lost, "i" & "l" may appear bold), Text will no longer be searchable or ADA compliant, some type may not outline properly, particularly underlines or dicy fonts, the pdf will be harder to edit. In addition to your excellent points about outlining fonts, I would add that outlining fonts is rarely needed in a modern workflow. If you are sharing/ selling your files on Adobe Stock/ Shutterstock, add a note on the Pasteboard with the name of the font used, so that users may license/install the font if required. ![]() You can use the outlined one as your design file, and the original one as a backup. This way you would have your backup document available. Before you outline the fonts, you should first save your file as a separate document. ![]() Designers may not want to share the font. This generally happens with the files purchased from Adobe Stock/ Shutterstock.
6/12/2023 0 Comments Armored rhinoceros![]() ![]() If your cure is broken or has damage of any kind, it is vital to replace it. In the year year 2023 the #7 Violent Star moves into the Northeast palace (Ox, Tiger and youngest son).Īs for most Feng Shui cures, we do not recommend keeping them for more than a year because it would have absorbed a good deal of negative energy and would no longer can serve as a potent remedy. The tank-like appearance of the skin resembles grey plates of armor with rivets. You can find even larger male specimens that could weigh up to 2,199 - 2,896 kg which is 4,848 6,385 lb. The species derives its name from its single large horn. The males are usually larger than the females. It would weigh about 800 1,400 kilograms which is equivalent to 1,800 3,100 lb. It is also especially recommended for anyone who lives in dangerous neighborhoods and faces danger on a regular basis – being out late in the evening, walking alone in a parking lot. The length of the same rhinoceros is 3 - 3.75 m which is 9.8 12.3 ft. If you sleep in the afflicted sector (West in 2022), or if your main door is located or facing the afflicted direction, you will need this Feng Shui keychain too. These black fishes with a white center can grow up to 15 feet long and have layers of tough, flexible scales. They are one of the world’s largest fish species with tapered and streamlined bodies. The creatures are mainly found in the tropical waters of South America. Suitable for your 1/24 scale figures, this armored vehicle can transport your troops to. In the year 2022, the signs of the Rooster and the youngest daughter become the victim because you have this Star in your Feng Shui chart and should should carry this Armoured Rhino & Elephant Amulet. Just click on the icons, download the file (s) and print them on your 3D printer. Also known as the pirarucu or paiche, arapaimas are air-breathing fishes. From Joy Toy comes the 1/27 scale Rhinoceros armored scout car. This Anti-Burglary Talisman with Armored Rhino and Elephant is designed to subdue the #7 Robbery/Loss Star which brings money loss, burglary, betrayal and being cheated in the year of the Tiger 2022. ![]() 6/12/2023 0 Comments Laravel db text column![]() ![]() ![]() Warning: be careful with parameters, always validate them In my experience, it’s often used in database migrations, when some table structure changes and old data needs to be updated with a new structure.ĭB::statement('UPDATE users SET role_id = 1 WHERE role_id IS NULL AND YEAR(created_at) > 2020') Īlso, DB::statement() can perform any SQL query with schema, outside of columns or values.ĭB::statement('ALTER TABLE projects AUTO_INCREMENT=123') ![]() If you need to execute some SQL query, without processing any results, like INSERT or UPDATE without any parameters, you can use DB::statement(). $results = DB::select('select * from users where id = ?', ) ĥ. DB::select() is a perfectly fine statement. >selectRaw("(CASE WHEN (gender = 1) THEN 'M' ELSE 'F' END) as gender_text")Ī pretty typical example is when you have an SQL statement from some older project, and you need to convert it to Eloquent or Query Builder. >selectRaw('price - discount_price AS discount') $products = Product::select('id', 'name') If you want to return one specific column as a calculation from other columns, and you want that calculation to happen in SQL query, here’s how it can look: Calculating one field with sub-query: selectRaw() $results = User::selectRaw('YEAR(birth_date) as year, COUNT(id) as amount')ģ. Also, we can use additional “where” statement after grouping, by “having” SQL statement with havingRaw().įor example, how to group by a YEAR of a certain date/time field? We have methods like groupByRaw() and orderByRaw() for this. What if you want to add some SQL calculations inside of “group by” or “order by”? Filtering YEARS: groupByRaw, orderByRaw and havingRaw >selectRaw('companies.name as company_name, avg(salary) as avg_salary, count(*) as people_count') >selectRaw('COUNT(*) as nbr', 'products.*')Īnother example – we can even perform avg() and count() in the same statement. >leftjoin('category','category.product_id','=','products.id') >selectRaw('count(*) as user_count, status') If you need to perform groupBy() and then use some aggregation function from MySQL, like AVG() or COUNT(), it’s useful to perform a Raw Query for that specific section. Most Typical: selectRaw() with Avg/Sum/Count Calculations In this article, I will show you the most common examples of this approach.ġ. Laravel has a great database mechanism called Eloquent, also a powerful Query Builder, but sometimes it makes sense to just use plain SQL, in the form of Raw Queries. ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments Adobe updater cc mac![]() ![]() You can expect that current versions of Mac software will be updated for full compatibility with macOS 13 Ventura, but previous versions probably won’t. Current versions will be the most compatible.If you must ensure complete compatibility with everything you use, run your own tests with macOS 13 Ventura on a separate system, such as an external drive with a Ventura test system installed. Published compatibility reports may be on test systems that don’t have the same hardware and software you use. That could include printers, graphics tablets, scanners, cameras, networking equipment, calibration equipment, backup software, diagnostic software, adapters, hubs, docks, and so on. Especially anything that depends on driver software being compatible. Before you upgrade, remember to check compatibility for everything installed on or connected to your computer. Check all of the hardware and software you rely on.For example, have a complete system backup that you know how to restore in as little time as possible. If you use your Mac to run a business or another activity where you can’t afford to lose productivity, do not upgrade to macOS 13 Ventura until you’ve made plans to fully recover your previous configuration if things don’t work out. ![]() The more years you’ve been using the same Mac, the trickier the macOS 13 Ventura upgrade may be, because major changes by Apple will block a lot of older software from working.įor almost any system upgrade, whether it’s for Macs, Windows PCs, or mobile devices, certain principles are true, and definitely apply to the macOS 13 Ventura upgrade: Do not upgrade until everything you use is readyĬaution: If you are upgrading from macOS 10.14 or earlier, it’s particularly important that you research which applications you have on your Mac before you click that Upgrade button. Howard Oakley’s article Fixes and flaws in Ventura 13.0 describes some macOS 12 Monterey bugs that Apple fixed in macOS 13 Ventura, and also some bugs that are still not fixed. If you’ve been affected by Apple bugs in macOS 12 Monterey, if they’re fixed in macOS 13 Ventura that can be a reason to upgrade. As with every major release of the Mac operating system, the Ars Technica review not only evaluates the visible features that Apple promotes, but goes under the surface to explain changes to some of the underlying technologies in macOS and how they affect your Mac experience.

And, eventually Apple will discontinue the Rosetta translation environment that lets Intel software run on Apple Silicon, so one day you will have no choice but to modernize your applications.įor more details, or if you have questions about Adobe Creative Suite (CS) software, read on… What’s covered in this article However, eventually you’ll want to replace all of your Intel-only software with Apple Silicon compatible versions, for two reasons: If you bought an Apple Silicon Mac because you wanted the best possible performance and battery life at the price you paid, then you’ll get that performance only if you upgrade applications to the latest Apple Silicon compatible version. ![]() You might not need to upgrade Intel versions of applications right away if your current software versions actually run on macOS 13 Ventura. If you’re upgrading from an Intel Mac to a Apple Silicon Mac, there are a few more things to think about. If you decide to upgrade to Ventura, expect to run the most recent versions of software including Adobe Creative Cloud applications. If you have applications you must use, but you have older versions that aren’t compatible with macOS 13 and you choose not to upgrade them to current versions, you should delay upgrading to Ventura. But if you’re upgrading from macOS 10.14 Mojave or earlier, Apple changed macOS in ways that may prevent older applications from running in macOS 13 Ventura. The good news: If you’re upgrading from macOS 11 Big Sur or later, the differences between that and macOS 13 Ventura are relatively minor. I’ll update this article as new information comes out. We don’t usually know everything right away that information emerges over time as Apple, Adobe, and other software developers test with the final public release and produce updates with fixes. With the release of macOS 13 Ventura, you’re probably wondering if your Adobe software will work in this major upgrade to macOS. ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments Minecraft zombie drop percentages![]() ![]() And your difficulty is locked to hard (hardcore is a mode and can't be changed in game) However, though you start in hard difficulty with Hardcore mode, this can be changed in game. in this mode death is permanent, your world will be deleted.

6/11/2023 0 Comments Social issues in america![]() ![]() Stagnant wages are deeply entwined with housing concerns. This is an increase of 10 percentage points from early 2019. According to Pew Research, 49% of Americans said finding affordable housing in their community was a “major problem” in 2021. In most places in the United States, affordable housing is very challenging to find. ![]() To deal with future pandemics and the everyday health and wellness of those within its borders, the United States healthcare system needs an overhaul. The United States’ system was simply not equipped to handle the pandemic well. A 2021 article listed barriers to healthcare access, price and costs, inequity, the marginalization of public health, and quality issues as the longest-standing systemic problems made worse by the pandemic. COVID-19 also exposed many cracks in the healthcare system. Overall, Americans owe hundreds of billions of dollars. Black adults, people with disabilities, and those in poor health are most likely to have significant medical debt. According to a KFF analysis of government data, around 1 in 10 adults have medical debt. HealthcareĪ functioning and affordable healthcare system remains elusive in the United States. ![]() The old saying “the rich keep getting rich” rings true in the United States. Between 1978-2018, CEO pay increased more than 900% while the typical worker only saw an increase of 11.9%. The difference between CEO pay and the pay of typical workers also demonstrates a stark inequality. In 2021, the top 10% of Americans had 70% of all U.S. In 2020, the bottom 90% received 60.2% of all wages, which is the lowest share since data tracking started in 1937. For the bottom 90%, wages grew a measly 28.2%. The top 0.1% saw even more growth: 389.1%. Wage inequalityĪn analysis by the Economic Policy Institute found that from 1979-2020, wages for the top 1.0% jumped by 179.3%. Debt cancellations would make a big difference right away, but tuition costs, cuts, and wages need to be addressed, as well. Why is this happening? Rising tuition costs are a clear cause, but cuts in state funding for higher education and stagnant wages are responsible, too. Without additional lines of credit, people keep sinking into debt. When borrowers fall behind, their credit score gets hit, making other forms of debt relief impossible. In 2020, collective student debt rose by over 8%. This matters because the student loan debt growth rate is outpacing the rise in tuition by 353.8%. About 92% of all student debt comes from federal student loans. On average, borrowers each owe almost $29,000. The total student debt is $1.75 trillion in federal and private loans. In a 2022 article, Forbes lists jarring student loan debt statistics in the United States. What issues should everyone keep their eyes on? Here are ten examples: #1.

This common mistake might lead you to wonder if there is any organic laundry detergent you could use as a substitute for l aundry stripping and daily use.Ĭan You Use Natural Detergent Laundry for Laundry Stripping ? As CNN goes on to say, the need for laundry stripping is ironically caused in part by people using too many chemical-filled detergents. Krietsch also notes that the color change can partially be attributed to the dye seeping out of the fabric and the caked-up detergent that was holding onto dirt. ![]() Rather, it is from the minerals in the hard water-and those previously embedded in the clothes-reacting with the excess detergent dunked into the tub-and the soap previously built-up on the clothes. Thus, when you see videos of people stripping their laundry, the striking color change of the tub water is not due to the inherent dirtiness of the fabrics being soaked. They stated that most residue on clothing is from previous overuse of detergent and fabric softener. CNN interviewed Jennifer Ahoni, a senior scientist at a detergent company, and Leigh Krietsch Boerner, a journalist with a Ph.D. The residue makes clothing stiff and can cause fabric fibers to break down over time.įurther causing laundry complications, most people use an excess of detergent when washing clothing regularly and, ironically, when trying to strip laundry of its buildup. They said in a comment, "yes, I'm aware my water is already yellow we have hard water." In addition to occasionally being cloudy, hard water deposits minerals onto laundry, leaving a residue behind. N otice in this stripping laundry recipe video that the water in this user's tub is discolored even before adding chemicals. In the United States, 85% of citizens' homes have hard water, meaning that the water contains a high concentration of minerals, usually calcium and magnesium. However, the opaque color is actually due to a reaction between hard water and detergent. What is the Science Behind the Water Becoming Cloudy?Īt first glance, it would be reasonable to infer that the mucky water from laundry stripping is caused by the fabrics having been previously soiled. ![]() You might be surprised to learn that the color change isn't caused by the original dirt on the clothes, but rather a more complicated chemical reaction. In watching #laundrystripping videos or stripping your own laundry at home, you will see that these laundry stripping ingredients cause a stark change to the color of the water, even when laundry stripping with baking soda or detergent. ![]() If you would like a more exact method for stripping clothes, Erica Gremminger in her video provides this popular clothes stripping recipe :Īfter hearing that most people are stripping clothes with borax, you might hesitate in following through with these recipes, as many sources such as Medical News Today report that even though borax is a naturally-occurring salt, "a person should strongly consider not using products that contain borax when possible." If you are curious if there is a laundry stripping recipe without borax, Laundry Detergent Ideas says instead of borax laundry stripping, you can use both a ½ cup of laundry detergent and ½ cup of washing soda for each gallon of hot water. At least on TikTok, many laundry stripping recipes are just an eyeballed hodgepodge of stripping laundry with borax and detergent, sometimes with washing soda, oxygenated bleach, or fabric softener. Though video creators vary in their recipes, laundry stripping TikTok videos all share a common process-fill your bathtub with water, dump in enough chemicals that would make an apothecary blush, and let your clothes soak for approximately five hours. What is the Best Laundry Stripping Recipe ? Read below as we uncover the surprising science behind the trend. What has sparked people's horror (and fascination) with TikTok laundry stripping is the almost-instant transformation of the bathtub water from crystal-clear to a murky brown when the clothes are added, caused by the crud being purged from the laundry, or so it seems.Īfter learning about or seeing firsthand the plethora of viral videos covering everything from stripping towels to stripping sheets, you might be asking yourself how stripping laundry is done correctly, what sort of chemical reaction is actually taking place in the tub, and if there are any better alternatives for deep-cleaning your laundry. Have you been on the "cleaning side" of TikTok (or #CleanTok, as some affectionately call it) or Facebook Watch? If so, you were bound to have encountered videos of "l aundry stripping ," where people soak dirty fabrics in their bathtubs mixed with a flurry of chemicals to "strip" the grime the textiles had accumulated over time. ![]() |
