Squirrel catapult in pond3/10/2024 Too late, and it plows into the ground in front of you. Let go too early, and it shoots straight up. It disconnects easily because its latching mechanism is separate from the load-bearing structure.īut even with a good trigger, hurling the ammo properly can be tricky – something you learn early on when figuring out how to build a catapult. A little mechanical device called a panic snap, available at hardware stores, makes a fast, controllable trigger. The powerful spring also makes it difficult to quickly release the throwing arm. I didn’t use my catapult for warfare, but I did try flinging baseballs, burritos, and even beer cans. Without the pair of cross-braces I added, the machine could implode when the spring is tightened. (The ancients used linen and horsehair, but I found that natural fibers like hemp and sisal, which stretch less than nylon rope, are also excellent for catapults.) When it’s fully wound, the rope places immense stress on the entire structure, so it’s important to build the wooden frame solidly. The power behind this catapult’s arm is a spring made from twisted rope. It’s fairly authentic, although I did use modern tools and materials. I looked up books by original Roman and Greek catapult engineers on the Internet, then designed my model. While reading about the bad old days, it struck me that a replica Roman legion–style catapult might be just the thing to bring excitement to my neighborhood block party. And the Mongols invoked an early but gruesome form of germ warfare by tossing plague-infested corpses over the walls of castles they were besieging. The Romans preferred to throw bags of bees at their foes. The Carthaginians put poisonous snakes in clay jars and then launched them at enemy ships. Long before the invention of gunpowder, ancient armies used siege engines to hurl all sorts of terrible, yet creative, missiles.

New haven register obituaries today only3/10/2024 That suggested that fewer Americans are being recruited for new, higher-paying jobs or are willing to search for and take new positions. Any weakening in those areas of the economy could threaten hiring and the overall expansion.Ī report Tuesday showed that the number of workers who quit in December reached its lowest level in three years. For several months, most of the nation’s job growth has occurred in just a few sectors - health care, government and hotels, restaurants and entertainment. Some cracks in the job market have begun to emerge and, if they worsen, could spur the Fed to cut rates quickly. Certainly, I’m encouraged and we’re encouraged by the progress, but we’re not declaring victory at this point. “Core inflation is still well above target on a 12-month basis. “If we saw an unexpected weakening in the labor market, that would certainly weigh on cutting sooner,” Powell said.Īsked whether he thought the Fed has already achieved a soft landing, Powell suggested it would be premature to say so. For now, with the economy performing well, he said, the Fed doesn’t need to rush to reduce borrowing costs. Powell said that faster growth could potentially cause inflation to stall at a rate above 2%, which could complicate the Fed’s timetable for rate cuts. Should the pace of economic growth strengthen, though, it could complicate the challenge for the Fed. The Fed appears on the verge of achieving a rare “soft landing,” in which it manages to conquer high inflation without causing a recession. That slowdown reduces pressure on companies to raise prices to cover higher labor costs. On Wednesday, the government reported that pay and benefits for America’s workers, which accelerated in 2022, grew in the final three months of 2023 at the slowest pace in 2 1/2 years. The unemployment rate, at 3.7%, isn’t far above a half-century low. Rate cuts would eventually lead to lower borrowing costs for America’s consumers and businesses, including for mortgages, auto loans and credit cards.Ī year ago, many analysts were predicting that widespread layoffs and sharply higher unemployment would be needed to cool the economy and curb inflation. Most economists have said they expect the Fed to start cutting its benchmark rate in May or June. “We’re looking for inflation to come down, as it has been coming down for the last six months.” “We want to see strong growth and a strong labor market,” the Fed chair said. But the latest economic data - ranging from steady consumer spending to solid job growth to the slowdown in inflation - has been bolstering consumer confidence.Īt his news conference, Powell said the Fed welcomes signs of economic strength. Republicans in Congress have attacked Biden over the high inflation that gripped the nation beginning in 2021 as the economy emerged from recession. The Fed is assessing inflation and the economy at a time when the intensifying presidential campaign is pivoting in no small part on voters’ perceptions of President Joe Biden’s economic stewardship. Growth remains healthy: In the final three months of last year, the economy expanded at a 3.3% annual rate, the government said last week. The change in the Fed’s stance comes as the economy is showing surprising durability after a series of 11 rate hikes helped drastically slow inflation, which had hit a four-decade high 18 months ago. Losses in the stock market accelerated after Powell’s news conference began. The central bank’s message Wednesday - that it’s edging closer to cutting rates but not planning to do so anytime soon - disappointed traders on Wall Street. “It’s not that we’re looking for better data - it’s just that we’re looking for a continuation of the good data that we’ve been getting,” he said. Prices have increased at just a 2% annual rate in the past six months, according to the Fed’s preferred measure. It just needs to see the inflation slowdown continue. On Wednesday, Powell said the Fed doesn’t need to see significant changes in the inflation data for it to cut rates. Yet they have since said little about when those cuts might begin, and some senior officials stressed that the Fed will proceed cautiously. In December, the Fed’s policymakers had indicated that they expected to carry out three quarter-point rate cuts in 2024. “There is nothing in Powell’s remarks or the statement that leads us to worry about the basic story of ‘good news’ cuts starting soon enough,” Krishna Guha, an economics analyst at investment bank Evercore ISI, said in a note to clients. But the changes to its statement - compared with its last meeting in December - show that it has moved toward considering rate reductions while still maintaining flexibility. The central bank kept its key rate unchanged at about 5.4%, a 22-year high.

Teamviewer 12 host start in safemode3/10/2024 I had a spare VM so I played along, gave them full access, and recorded and watched what they did. The first time I came across Ammyy was on one of these spoofed phone calls where they advise your computer is infected. I know the question is closed and this is not the place but interested in any comments. Not to discredit ibrahim52’s comments or suggest they are wrong in any way, but just for discussion. That was the reason I wanted to hear from the Expert who recommended AMMYY, but to no vail. As "RobWill" puts it, it may not be a legit operation, although they sell "PAID" version. But it is a russian company and I am concerned about charging CC although there are many software vendors located overseas. Simply and Quick, Clear Screen when connected. GoToAssist - It seems expensive (as I have to manage over 100 PCs all over the place) although probably Citrix is the pioneer of remote access technology.ĪMMYY - I really like this one. Based on their fee structure, I rather go with TeamViewer where you pay one-time fee. Used to be free, but they are going to start charging. LogMeIn - It is nice, web-based contact list too. TeamViewer - Nice, but the background screen is too dark or too bluish. Therefore I either need to use LogMeIn, TeamViewer, GoToAssist or AMMYY. I need to access remote computers on-demand without configuring routers or anything of that nature. As you mentioned, it is good for within the network. In the long run, you cannot expect to make a living from clients who want things for "free".Ĭheers, have used VNC before. If, after that exercise, your client still insists on the "free" services, make up your mind about continuing the engagement. If they balk at that little extra expense, engage a risk expert (they normally don't work for "free", though) and let her walk them through the scenarios of things that can go bad. Enhance the quality of the product/service that you deliver to your customer by offering a more reliable/trustworthy service at a little extra cost. If you run a business with customers that depend on the integrity of their data or your services, stop using "free". No service is ever "giving" you anything for "free". All that work costs these companies real time and real money. In the most friendly scenarios they will use that profit to develop even more useful "free" services. If they offer everything for free, how will they make their ends meet? And eventually they will want to make a profit. Any company that offers a service on the internet will have to pay their bills. We all pay, in some way or other, be it by providing our contact details, our surfing habits, our facebook "likes" or whatever. Please understand that there are very, very few resources or services on the internet that are truly "free". If in doubt, ask your customer if they are comfortable with the "free" service that may includes threats to their system security or data integrity, or if they rather re-imburse you for a paid service that offers proven security and data integrity for the small fee of $xxx.xx a month. If you are a professional and provide services to your customers, and if these services mean that you need to use specific tools, you have a choice: Use "free" tools with all the inherent dangers and threats (the full extent of which none of us may be aware of), or pay the few bucks that the "paid" services charge and add that charge to your professional invoice to the client. They may pass on your contact details to marketing agencies, they may compromise the confidential client data you uploaded to a "free" hosting service. They may plaster you with advertisements whenever you use the site. "Free" apps on the web, whatever they do, all have a price. I wonder if "free" is really the best option for your purposes, or whether "secure" should be top of the list. You mention customers in your posts, hence I assume you run some kind of consulting business. Mr2 spyder hardtop3/10/2024 There are NO engine oil leaks anywhere now. I noticed that mine was just starting to dribble oil, so I replaced it with a new one from the Toyota dealer. Timing chain tensioner o-ring - This is the #1 suspect whenever a 1zz engine has an oil leak. The old coolant was still super clean, but I figured I'd replace it anyway. This car has never had the green stuff poured in. Replacing this fixed a slight bogging issue that I had and even improved power a little bit.Ĭoolant - OEM Toyota red coolant. The ACT clutch is a little grippier than stock, but it's still easy to use and is supposed to last longer too.įuel filter - OEM Toyota, from the dealership. My friend's MR2 has an unsprung 6-puck clutch + superlight aluminim flywheel, and that's a whole different beast to drive. However, taking off from a stop isn't extreme since it's still a full-disc street clutch. With this setup, I find that you spend a little less time waiting for RPMs to drop between shifts. Pretty much everything has been done, so you should be good for the next 100k miles.īrakes - The stock brakes lasted me until 100k, so I bought OEM Toyota brake pads and new (not resurfaced) Napa rotors, which are usually made by Brembo or Raybestos.Ĭlutch - The stock clutch also lasted 100k, but this one I replaced with an ACT clutch kit, and a slightly lighter flywheel (from Monkeywrench Racing). 2004-2005 MR2s also have improved crash worthiness thanks to some chassis revisions, on top of the styling changes (and EXCELLENT headlights) that came out for 2003.Īll maintenance, major and minor, has been taken care of using only OEM/quality parts. The limited-slip differential (LSD) was a rare option for 2004-2005 only, and it makes a big difference when you're hard on the throttle going around a turn. This is the last year of the Toyota MR2 in the US, with only a few hundred imported for 2005. I'm only selling this car because I bought a Honda Insight for my commute (70mpg!), and I've decided to sell the mr2 to help me pay for college. I'm anal about my cars, and even if they're not perfect I do everything I can to take care of them. I'm the kind of guy that always shifts gently, keeps the revs low, and even closes the doors with only the minimum amount of force. It's garage kept and has never been raced or abused. The car is in excellent shape, maintained religiously with only the best/OEM parts. Update: still have car, not looking to sell Beats updater3/9/2024 The heart rate is greater than 100 beats a minute. Tachycardia (tak-ih-KAHR-dee-uh) is a fast heartbeat.In general, heart arrhythmias are grouped by the speed of the heart rate. A heart-healthy lifestyle can help prevent heart damage that can trigger some heart arrhythmias. The goals of treatment are to control or get rid of fast, slow or otherwise irregular heartbeats. Heart arrhythmia treatment may include medicines, devices such as pacemakers, or a procedure or surgery. For example, the heart may beat faster with exercise or slow down during sleep. WLAN not working correctly for nearly 3 months after 10.10.There are times when it is OK to have a fast or slow heartbeat. And Apple/Beats: Be ashamed for that really poor QA. But as I wrote before NEVER stop holding the power button of the headphones during that update, until it is finished! Then, the update unexpectedly went on with step 2 after waiting a few secs. Turn the Beats off (by holding the power button for about 4-5 secs), plug the Beats in, at the same time, turn the Beats on again, BUT keep holding the power button! If I released it (as seen in the description for resetting it), it was the same thing again: Can't find the beats, "Are you completely dumb and plugged them in?"-site coming up, button to "Contact our genius somewhat and spend your valuable time, cause we can't apply software"-website. If you are facing this, try this to complete the update: Unplug the headphones, refresh the update website, that there is the animated waiting circle, searching for Beats. Unplugged, plugged in again, switching them off and on again, refreshing the update website, rebooting the machine, nothing. Even after turning the headphones off, they went on again and stayed in update mode, even after reset, whatever. After that, the white LED bulb circle of death going on and off. Software recognized them, started Update, boom! Update interrupted without doing anything. What I did: Just the things in the description, installed the Beats Software (by the way, Webinterface with Sockets for a firmware update, are you kidding me?), plugged the headphones in with the original Beats USB Cable. Also tried it on my business HP with Win 7, as someone mentioned it here, but was the same with it. My environment: OSX 10.11.2 El Capitan, Macbook Pro late 2015, Safari 9.0.2 and Chrome 47. If I or any other person of the companies I work for would bring out such a bugged, obviously untested mess of a software (there seem to be a lot of others affected by this), I or he would be fired the next day without any question! I will probably stay by my B&Os and send this headphones back, as I would be ashamed of wearing this brand in public transport. I'm from Germany and a software developer myself. Sorry, for my bad English, by the way, but I was extremely angry about that and found this thread on google, just wanted to help others facing this. Unfortunately this problem still persists in 10.11.2 and also with Beats Wireless just bought the last days (not the newest firmware on them, though). Well that's a bit awkward Apple - the update didn't work via OSX but it did through Windows?! Downloaded the windows version of the update software - I initially got the same error as with OSX but when I disconnected and reconnected as per on screen instructions the update worked and the Beats rebooted and powered on! I am using a 2015 MacBook - this question got the wheels turning in my head I disconnected the Beats from the MacBook and plugged them in to my old knackered Windows 7 work laptop (Dell machine). Contacted Apple Support, no dice - I bought mine via Amazon so just returned them as not working for full refund.Īmazon were out of stock so I bought them via Apple on line, they arrived first thing - I registered them and the update option appeared on the update app again, after 10 minutes of 'should I, should't I' I tried the update again.SAME RESULT! Contacted Apple Support.slightly more inquisitive this time, they asked what machine I had used to update them? I bought a pair around a month ago, did the update (blissfully unaware that there was an issue before updating), had the exact same problem and then found this thread with a bit of googling.
