Budget gaming laptop 20092/17/2024 Read: Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 review Best 16-inch Esports Machine While Asus includes a webcam here, it's only 720p, which is a shame considering how everything else on this system is high-end.īeyond the performance, we also appreciated this system's speakers, which are loud and detailed, and the fact that its display was bright at 402 nits on our lightmeter. The Strix looks like a gaming machine, if that's your aesthetic, with logs of RGB and aggressive logos. Considering how powerful the system is, some games will play at high resolution and high refresh rate. The 2560 x 1600, 240 Hz display gives you some options, including prioritizing gaming at high resolution, or turning that down and playing esports at high frame rates. The Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 is expensive, but with an Intel Core i9-13980HX and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090, it's ready for the most intense games with serious graphics. Read: Acer Nitro 16 Review Best Budget Alternativeġ8-inch gaming laptops are in vogue, with tall 16:10 screens mixed with some of the most postful components on the market. ![]() But getting USB 4 under $1,000, alongside a solid screen and decent performance for the price makes this a great choice for someone whose budget it set at $1,000. The webcam isn't amazing, and Acer has a habit of putting too much bloatware on laptops that you'll spend some time uninstalling. We also appreciated that the laptop offered 8 hours and 24 minutes of battery life on our test, which beat other laptops in i's class - some by multiple hours. It's nice and bright at 371 nits on our light meter, and covered 91% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Our $999 review unit included a 1920 x 1200, 165 Hz display with G-Sync support, which is great for esports gaming. The Nitro 16, replacing the old Nitro 5, delivers the entry-level power of an RTX 4050 and a Ryzen 5 7640HS, but with some niceties you can get for under $1,000. The Acer's Nitro line has often a place on this list, mixing build quality, performance, and low pricing to create a reasonable product. Read: MSI Titan GT77 HX review Best Thin and Light Gaming Laptop But if you're willing to bear the expense of these top-end components and don't plan on unplugging too much, you have one heck of a system in the Titan. The battery life, at under 4 hours on our tests, makes the Titan a true desktop replacement. ![]() It's not OLED, but in our tests, it often looked almost as good, with extremely high scores on both our light meter (511 nits) and our colorimeter (161.6% sRGB, 114.5% DCI-P3).Īdd in a Cherry MX mechanical keyboard that's an absolute pleasure to use (alongside per-key RGB backlighting to keep it looking good), and you get some luxury you don't see in most gaming laptops (even if MSI doesn't use the mechanical switches for the number keys or arrow keys). MSI has added Mini-LED technology, so the 4K 144 Hz display looks incredible. A mix of powerful performance from the Intel Core i9-13950HX and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 provided for one of the most powerful gaming laptops we've seen to date.Īnd that 17-inch, 16:9 display is no slouch. MSI may not have adopted an 18-inch display on its flagship laptop, but in our testing, we were still enamored. Some come with full-size Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics cards, while others go for the more efficient designs (Nvidia formerly called these " Max-Q") that enable thinner chassis and (sometimes) quieter fans. ![]() Thankfully, there are more gaming laptop options now than ever, from budget-friendly to desktop replacements. Apple's M3 Max has some graphics power, but not enough games yet for us to get its MacBook Pros on the list. Intel's "Meteor Lake" Core Ultra chips are also on the way, plus whatever else AMD may be cooking in both CPUs and GPUs. Intel recently dropped the 14th Gen "Raptor Lake Refresh" chips for desktops, the rumors have been more quiet for laptops. For those on a tight gaming budget, we've have dedicated pages for the best gaming laptops under $1,500 and the best gaming laptops under $1,000. Our picks for the best gaming laptop are often high-end models (we're an enthusiast site, after all), but most come in various configurations at various price points. Sure, a high-end PC that costs several thousand dolloars might have the highest-end graphics and a top-notch display, but most of us can't afford a rig like that. They go from high-end components to slim, efficient machines to cheaper laptops made of plastic. The right one for you may have different parts and a different price than someone else. The best gaming laptops are diverse, with varying components and materials.

Tile roofs schaumburg il2/17/2024 ![]() Our third-party vendor uses a national criminal database ("NCD") to screen service professionals. We use a third-party vendor to conduct a criminal records search in the county in which the business owner or principal works. As always, we recommend that you conduct your own research on the businesses you hire, including making inquiries directly with the businesses regarding their employee background check policies. Unfortunately, we cannot perform a background check on every employee of a business-the background checks are performed only on the owner or principal. The owner or principal of each business in HomeAdvisor's network (with the exception of Corporate Accounts) must pass a background check. Highly recommend Michal Tiles and happy to be a reference for him for future projects."Ĭriminal Background Check Who does HomeAdvisor background check? There is no question we are going to use him again as we start thinking about doing the bathrooms this summer. His skills are excellent and would never shortcut anything. His prices are fair and will take the time to talk to you about the overall design you are going for. Best yet, we still had two more days until the party! As for Michal overall: 1. Our new kitchen design was in front of our face and we couldn't be happier. The next day Michal did the grout and the project was complete. The construction part of the job went great, but you could see installing the tile was what Michal really enjoyed. The old tile was quickly disposed of, patches of drywall were installed and now the magic started! Michal is extremely fast but has a wonderfully creative eye. Once the tile came down and we saw what was behind it, Michal knew exactly how to patch the walls and create the perfect foundation that he could create on. Michal's skills are impressive but an added bonus is his calm demeanor. Large gaps in dry wall due to pipes was clear evidence whoever but up the existing backsplash did a pretty crappy job. Phase II was a quick reminder I could NEVER do this myself. Our house was built in 1906 and who knew what we were going to find once the old tiles starting coming off. He took out the old backsplash with such efficiency I thought "man, maybe I could have done this". He walked into the house on the agreed upon start date, said "hi" and jumped right into work. ![]() Michal was exactly what we were looking for. The very next day he came onsite at the exact time he said he would arrive and sent me a proposal within an hour. Enter Michal: When I went on HomeAdvisor and described the project Michal contacted me right away. I also needed to find someone I could trust to get it done and not end up with a job that wasn't complete when we had people over later that week. I needed to find someone that was available on short notice, could do the work and had a creative eye that could see what we were trying to pull off. I'm not handy but I am a small business owner and selecting the right person to get this project done was going to need some luck. To our delight the hand made tile we selected arrived 6 days before the party and we decided to try to get, what is now the centerpiece of our kitchen design, installed the same week. ![]() Of course we decided to take on this venture a couple weeks before our annual St. "Michal is amazing! After 16 years in our home we finally got around to making some changes to our kitchen.

Losing control part 2 lyrics2/17/2024 ![]() ![]() But most of our music deserves to be listened to several times. Balm for the masses is no use whatsoever." "We do tend to judge music on its rhythms and whether you can tap your foot to it. I want to deal in terms that invite questioning. It's up to listeners to pick up on them and get from them what they wish - I'm not attempting to be clear-cut. The music means different things to different people." "I want to insist that every listener makes a tiny bit of effort to reach the music and interpret what I am saying. I am saying a lot of things to a lot of people. "The way that I write allows a lot of people to interpret in their own fashion. (Excerpt from Ian's 12/23/91 interview on the US radio show, 'In The Studio - Thick As A Brick') So I was really talking about people being intellectually incapable of absorbing whatever it might have been put across in those slightly spoofish, bombastic terms in the lyrics of the album." You know, to be 'thick', as in 'thick-headed' thick as a 'brick' being a small, dense object. To describe someone as being 'as thick as a brick' meant to describe them as being stupid, basically. "'Thick as a brick' it really is a slang phrase from the north of England, where I spent my (well, some of my) growing-up years. Over-analyzing is of course exactly that - by definition ”over” means too much.Īfter decades of listening to Tull & reading interviews from old magazine articles found on the Jethro Tull Press website, I believe the following quotes by Ian say the most regarding Thick's lyrics. Examples of Tull’s narrator/jester theme can also be found in the lyrics of Minstrel In The Gallery, A Passion Play, Skating Away, Solitare, Wind-Up, Lick Your Fingers Clean and Sealion to name a few. Since he is considered a fool and not to be taken seriously, the jester's jokes can be either safely dismissed for their absurdity or thoughtfully pondered for the meaningful questions they pose depending on the audience's mindset. One common theme in most of Tull's lyrics is an implied narrator, akin to a medievel court-jester, whom tells absurd jokes riddled with hyperbole to humour his audience while hinting toward specific similarities of actual circumstances or events.

Flightgear downloads2/17/2024 ![]() Taxiways available for many larger airports (even including the green center line lights when appropriate.).Correct runway markings and placement, correct runway and approach lighting.Over 20,000 real world airports included in the full scenery set.UIUC extends the code by allowing aircraft configuration files instead and by adding code for simulation of aircraft under icing conditions.UIUC (like JSBSim) uses lookup tables to retrieve the component aerodynamic force and moment coefficients for an aircraft… and then uses these coefficients to calculate the sum of the forces and moments acting on the aircraft.Įxtensive and Accurate World Scenery Data Base UIUC: This FDM is based on LaRCsim originally written by the NASA.This allows for quickly constructing a plausibly behaving aircraft that matches published performance numbers without requiring all the traditional aerodynamic test data. The advantage of this approach is that it is possible to perform the simulation based on geometry and mass information combined with more commonly available performance numbers for an aircraft. YASim: This FDM is an integrated part of FlightGear and uses a different approach than JSBSim by simulating the effect of the airflow on the different parts of an aircraft.JSBSim can be run in a standalone mode for batch runs, or it can be the driver for a larger simulation program that includes a visuals subsystem (such as FlightGear.) In both cases, aircraft are modeled in an XML configuration file, where the mass properties, aerodynamic and flight control properties are all defined. JSBSim: JSBSim is a generic, 6DoF flight dynamics model for simulating the motion of flight vehicles.It is possible to add new dynamics models or even interface to external “proprietary” flight dynamics models: With FlightGear it is possible to choose between three primary Flight Dynamics Models. This makes FlightGear an attractive option for use in private, commercial, research, or hobby projects.įlightGear is known to run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS-X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and IRIX platforms allowing the user run on their platform of preference. Writing 3rd party extensions for FlightGear (or even directly modifying the FlightGear source code) is straightforward and doesn’t require a large amount of reverse engineering. We support standard 3d model formats and much of the simulator configuration is controlled through xml based ascii files. Being an open-source project, we have made our file formats open and easily accessible. Anyway can have easy and open access to the latest development source code. This means as long as you abide by the terms of the GPL license you may freely download and copy FlightGear.

Dating countdowns2/17/2024 News flash: Celibacy doesn’t have to stop you from dating! If you embrace it and own it, you may actually find that your celibacy helps you connect with others who have similar beliefs and feelings. Lady Gaga in 2010: “ I’m single right now, and I’ve chosen to be single because I don’t have the time to get to know anybody.You shouldn’t feel like you have to give your body away to get someone to like you.” Ciara in 2017: “ I really believe that when you focus on a friendship, you have the opportunity to build a strong foundation for a relationship - and once you know you’re really great friends and you’re what we call ‘equally yoked,’ where you share the same values or the same outlook on life, it kind of sets the tone.So, to remedy that, I’ve decided that sex is off the table, and I would use the time when I meet someone to ask questions.” … When I moved too fast, I would end up in a sexual relationship that wasn’t progressing toward a permanent commitment. Sex was affecting me in all of those areas. I am a believer in Christ and I want to follow the teachings of the Bible, and also I believe that we participate in relationships with our whole being: physical, emotional, and spiritual. … My decision to live this lifestyle was twofold. Jennifer*, 42, female, heterosexual: “I began my journey about 5 years ago.I am not religious, nor spiritual, nor anything else of the kind, so I’m not expecting any mystical benefits.” Partly it’s because sexual emotion itself makes me uncomfortable, and partly it’s because romances are demanding of time and effort that I’d rather put into things that are more important to me, like science. Tyler*, 30, male, bisexual: “I’ve never had a significant other or sex, and I don’t intend to change either.I have learned so much about myself during my celibacy journey - my esteem, worth, and values have all risen.” Courtney*, 31, female, heterosexual: “After experiencing dead-end relationships (situationships) I was essentially using sex to fill the voids of low self-esteem, shame, and coming to grips with overcoming childhood molestation.Let’s hear from real people (including 2 celebs) on their choice to be celibate You may find it more challenging to meet people who support and encourage your celibacy, but honestly, you don’t need that negativity in your life, anyway. “As long as you feel in control of your sex life and are having fun or learning and everything is consensual, there are no downsides,” Orley says. And depending on which sexual behaviors you are engaging in, you probably also have a lower chance of contracting an STI.Īs far as cons, there really aren’t any if you’re happy with your decision. One benefit across the board is that being celibate basically eliminates your chance of an unplanned pregnancy. Or it may be a way for you to connect more deeply with your faith or religious background. It may give you a new perspective on dating, allowing you to connect with people intellectually before you get physically involved. You may find it gives you more mental space to focus on your career and your passions. The benefits of celibacy really depend on your reasons for doing it. Should you try it? What to consider before diving in “I wanted to go a year without dating any man.” Nicki Minaj joked about her period of celibacy back in 2017, in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres. “I was going to do 3 months, but I was really enjoying the way I was relating to women and to the feminine within myself,” he said. Bloom said a good friend gave him this advice: “If you want to be serious about a relationship, go celibate for a few months and figure it out.”īloom ended up abstaining from sex for longer than he initially expected. In March 2020, Orlando Bloom revealed that he had been celibate for 6 months before meeting his now-fiancée, Katy Perry. She also notes that the increased use of antidepressants among young people may be contributing to a decrease in sexual desire.Įven celebrities are jumping on the celibacy bandwagon these days. “I have seen the demands of that lower the libido of many young people.” “I’m not sure if it’s just millennials having less sex, but I do think with the performance-driven culture that we are in and the focus on output, there is a sense of pleasure being somewhat frivolous,” she says. ![]() The 2017 study also reported that millennials were having less sex than other generations (but it’s worth noting that the study didn’t specify how participants defined “sex”). This is due in part to the rising number of single adults - in 2019, the average marriage age in the United States was 28 for women and 30 for men (the highest in recent history). Who’s doing it - or, should we say, *not* doing it?Īccording to a 2017 study, Americans are having less sex now than they did in the 1990s.

Pink yard flamingos2/16/2024 I concur as I have often seen this, especially in places like along the edge of a lawn on a street without curbs to let people know this particular homeowner doesn't welcome people parking with the tires on one side up on his lawn to get one's vehicle further off the roadside. There is a lot of discussion of white painted rocks there with the general consensus being large rocks painted white are often utilized as a cheap means of designating the end of a drive or beginning of an area of lawn the homeowner doesn't want anyone to park on. It was just funny to imagine any of them in any way being anything like that wild. The joke was at the time in our community pink flamingos were pretty much exclusively the lawn decor of choice of very buttoned down holier-than-thou Bible thumping old widows.

MainStage 3 for windows instal free2/16/2024 I wasn’t able to get it to crash one time – using heavy plugins.If you can envision your setup, you can create it in Gig Performer.Gig Performer doesn’t feel clunky or cluttered.2) Gig Performer (Best Mainstage Alternative For Windows And MAC) What I Like These are all choices that work flawlessly with Ableton. Should you choose Ableton, you can check out our guide on the best MIDI controllers for Ableton. The only downside of Ableton is that it is expensive. There are also some incredible tutorials you can watch on Youtube which show you exactly how to use it. Over the last few years, Ableton has become the industry standard as well when it comes to playing music live, whether your a keyboardist, a DJ or simply a musician running some backtracks.Ībleton gets our pick as the best alternative to MainStage and we believe that you will definitely find what you need with it. To put it in simple terms, Ableton can do more than MainStage does, including giving you the ability to record your own music and even run more complex tracks with your live performances. Ableton Live gives you the ability to do everything that MainStage does, while also providing you with an incredible DAW. 1)* Ableton Live – Best Product For Performing LiveĪbleton Live is a full DAW, which makes it different than MainStage. Some of these are Windows only and will be marked as that. Here a quick list of some programs you can use to replace MainStage. Now that you have an idea of equipment that you will likely need, let’s take a look at some alternatives. This will prevent it from overheating and crashing mid-performance. *Note: When performing live with MainStage or one of these alternatives, always be sure to point a fan at your pc or laptop. MIDI Controller (In-depth guide on some really great controllers).The last thing you want to do is to have your system crashing on you during performances. We are giving these recommendations as playing live will typically require a PC or macBook that can handle intense performances. With this being said, here’s a quick list of things I would recommend for your devices. The system requirements will change depending on which alternative you choose. This is why we recommend just going with an alternative to MainStage, rather than going through a hassle and potentially damaging your PC. The downside to this is that you can download bad programs that are malicious and can damage your PC. The only way to actually do this would be to use an emulator or simulator that tricks your PC into thinking you’re using an Apple product. With this being said, there are people who go to some extreme lengths to download Mainstage for Windows. MainStage is built for Apple only and is not compatible with Windows. ![]() Can You Download MainStage On Windows/PC? |
