Cutting flexible box from Poplar Plywood. Atomstack says this allows you and your friends to be in proximity to the laser engraver while it works without goggles, making it perhaps the best home laser cutter if you’re on a budget.įor the low price, it’s an effective laser engraving machine - with a high-performance 20W laser head that engraves, as well as cutting up to 1/8th of an inch wood and acrylic depths. Most CNC laser machines in the lower price ranges don’t come with a laser protector on the laser head (another that does is the Ortur Laser Master 2 Pro), which filters the large majority of UV light away to protect your eyes. Significantly worse build quality than the likes of the xTool D1 Pro. Not suited to thicker wood or metal cutting, stick to engraving. ![]() In my opinion this is the best diode laser under $1,000, and ideal for fun projects, cutting acrylic or wood, and for starting a small side-hustle on Etsy engraving signs or images, as well as cutting coasters, jewelry, or other fun projects. There’s the Laserbox iOS app for connecting via iPad or similar device. The XCS software that comes with the xTool is also really user-friendly, but you can also use it with LightBurn instead. It’s accurate (0.01mm precision, 0.08 x 0.06 mm spot size), reliable with the sturdy frame and steel wheels and rods and protected belts, and safe. But, you can buy an extension kit that takes your work area up to an incredible 936 x 432 mm for enormous engravings. You can also read my full xTool D1 Pro laser cutter review. The work area is larger than the Ortur too, but only by around 5%. Here’s some projects I tried it out on: Exhaust fan vent laser cut Thick wood cut and engraving (this wood is around 12.5mm thick) laser cut by the xTool D1 Pro.

Big thanks to Brian for pointing that out for me! :) If there is anyone else who wants to contribute please do say because I don't play as much as I use to. went through the whole guide again correcting mistakes. Started updating "Research! Research! Research"! Section (may take a few days to complete properly but it will be done! sorry about the delay of it.) and started on second villages procedures. I will do my absolute best to give as much detail as I can and if you have anything to add then please comment and I will put it in the guide! In this guide I'll be talking about the simple, but important, things (in my opinion) including: If you've been playing a while or done the tutorial then you won't need this I just wanted to do everything in a nutshell mainly. Stronghold Kingdoms is a medieval-influenced free-to-play MMORTS developed and published by Firefly Studios.Hey all! So I decided to make a guide on Stronghold about the basics of the game. Hailing from Firefly’s Stronghold series of popular games, SK sets players up as designer and builder of their own castle lord, responsible for a variety of items necessary to develop a thriving empire, including architectural, economic, military, agricultural, mercantile, industrial and political elements. SK also makes it very important to be social and cooperative with your fellow neighbor/players, as this is a vital part of determining who may ultimately control and govern each parish. Research | Earn research points through promotions to spend on trading, diplomacy, warfare, farming, religion, and more.There’s a fine line when it comes to free-to-play games.Units | Employ a wide variety of combat, religious, utility, and miscellaneous units in your rise to power.Factions | Guilds that may hold up to 40 other player/members, and chat through the in game client, or on the built in Forums.Build & Expand | Design and construct your very own castle, complete with oil pots, ballista towers, turrets, moats, and tunnels, in the Internet’s best castle sim game to date.Click over to the main website to download Stronghold Kingdoms, or find it available also through Steam. Offer your customers too little and you end up with a glorified demo, offer them too much and they’ll never pay - leaving you with an expensive project to maintain and little hope of turning it into an ongoing business past that initial influx of players. Stronghold Kingdoms is Firefly Studio’s attempt at getting that balance right, offering up a rich massively-multiplayer strategy game with some serious monetisation hooks for those that want to invest. And for the most part, they get it absolutely right.Īs you might have guessed then, Kingdoms is - at its heart - a medieval village management game and castle builder, in much the same spirit as its predecessors. You’ll pick your starting location from anywhere on a semi-realistic map of the UK and get down to business mining resources, attracting new citizens, trading goods on the marketplace and researching your way to power down a massive tech-tree on which - even after a couple of weeks of play - I’m still barely scraping 50% completion. ![]() To start with though, a thorough tutorial covers all the essential basics. You’re offered up a simple plot of land for your newly-crowned village, and you’ll soon be up and running with a few wood cutter’s huts and stone quarries, allowing access to basic resources with which to build more advanced structures. It should quickly become apparent at this stage that placing your buildings is of absolute paramount importance, which each section of land offering up different efficiency rates for various structures. In general, placing your wood-based buildings near the trees and your stone or iron-based structures near the rocks will suffice, but it’s key to learn micro-management at this stage rather than later on. ![]() Building and research queues are limited to one a piece unless you’re shelling out for a ‘premium’ token to unlock a five-slot queue in either, but fortunately prices are low enough to keep that within reach of most players (7 days of premium works out around £1.60 at current rates). ![]() ![]() Top with bread crumb mixture, broil until golden.

At present, Seagate’s drive is a little more expensive than the other drive. Well, the price can vary according to the platform you are making your purchase from. That is not the case for the competing drive. While WD offers 2 to 3 years of warranty on its drive.īut there is another plus point for the Expansions you get 1 year of Rescue Data Recovery with the drive. Seagate offers a limited warranty of about 1 year to 2 years depending upon the area. Moreover, none of these drives come with vendors to let the heat out in case of heavy load transfers. In case of security, you get other portable drive options like WD My Passport and Backup Plus Slim that come with good security features and are perfect to keep your important data there. It is better to not keep sensitive data in these drives, especially while traveling. It means that your data is not protected and can be leaked or theft if your drive is accidentally lost. There are no password options you can get in these drives. Flaws of both drives:Īlthough both drives are good at storage, transfer rates, and physical appearance, they lack security features. Just make sure you format the drive for that host to make it work. For other windows, the drive needs formatting and so is the case of Elements.īoth drives also work with Mac and it’s better to go for these portable drives regardless of buying such expensive Mac drives.īoth drives also proved to be functioning well with other systems (non-computing hosts) like Xbox and game consoles. While the Expansion comes with a formatted system for Windows 8, and 7. Elements come with a pre-formatted NTFS ( New technology file system- used for storing, operating, and finding files on a hard disk) for Windows 10, 8.1, and 7. Controlling System:īoth drives support Windows and PC. So seemingly, Expansion did better in performance than Elements. There was another test performed in which the Elements showed up with 110 Mb/s of transfer speed while the Expansion came out with 120 Mb/s of it. But this difference is so little to notice as time consumption showed a fluctuation of only a few seconds. Let’s see what the benchmarks turned out to be when both drives were tested in their read/write speed with a 90 Mb file: Seagate Expansionīy the above outcomes, we can see that Expansion worked slightly better than the Elements. This way, almost equal performance is expected out of both drives. Performance:īoth drives come with a transfer speed of 5400 Mb/s. Although the drive doesn’t work with an older interface the way it works with its 3.0 port, it’s still better to have both interfaces and that’s what WD has on the table for you. Unlike Seagate’s drive, the WD drive comes with a USB 2.0 interface as well. Connectivity Port:īoth drives support a 3.0 USB port and so an improvement in the performance as compared to the USB 2 port is noticeable. If you are in search of a portable drive with storage of less than 1 TB, Elements is for you. You have the leverage of choosing any one among their 500 GB, 750 GB, 1 TB, 1.5 TB, 2 TB, 3 TB, 4 TB, and 5 TB. While the Elements offer you more capacity ranges than the Expansion. The Expansion offers you capacities ranging from 1 TB, 1.5 TB, 2 TB, 3 TB, 4 TB, to 5 TB. Capacities:Ĭapacities are not exactly as they are mentioned, there is always a slighter difference that is not even noticeable as every user knows it. ![]() You connect these drives to your system with the help of a USB cable that comes in the box making the transfer process as simple as drag and drop. There’s no need to install any extra software to run these drives as both drives offer you plug-and-play connectivity with vast storage of up to 5 TB. Both drives are pocket-friendly and travel-friendly due to their compatible size and weight. If we talk about the purpose, both drives serve well as extra storage space that also helps make space on your PC by transferring data from the PC to the drive when your PC space is full. Both drives come with a form factor of 3.5 inches. ![]() 8/19/2023 0 Comments Fish store indianapolis![]() ![]() $ 4.7 House Of Bagels $0 Delivery Fee (Spend $10) House Of BagelsTraditional Style Fish 1 Photo 1 Review Full menu Location & Hours Suggest an edit 825 E Pleasant Ave Wyndmoor, PA 19038 Sponsored City Works - King of Prussia Carolyn M.Angel Cafe & Deli Angel Cafe & Deli 20-30 min Red Lion Grog House 445 British Fish And Chips Delivery Near Me Enter your delivery address, browse menus from the best restaurants in your neighborhood, and order delivery from the places that are open now, near you.

Her aim is not to classify tales, to pin them like butterflies on a styrofoam board. Is this forced? Alison recognizes the cheekiness of her project, knows her readings of form may not convince every reader. Here are corkscrews and wavelets and fractals and networks of cells. In brief, compelling meditations on contemporary fiction, she teases out figures we might expect to spy from a plane window or in the heart of a tree. bugbear is the dramatic arc, the shape that Aristotle noticed in the tragedies of his time but that has become a tyrant of creative writing instruction. the elegant forms that order nature in the structures of stories and novels. Her book takes the shape of a roller coaster. It is a special kind of literary criticism that can make the reader appear to herself a prune, or a prude. But the fecundity of Alison’s writing is of a piece with her larger mission: to turn narrative theory into a supersaturated mindfuck of hedonistic extravaganza. verbal raptures may ensorcell seventh graders and leave older readers occasionally feeling that they need to lie down. Alison cuts extraneous words for breathless effect. Meander, Spiral, Explode is a deeply wacky book, in ways that are both obvious and subtle. What matters is the ingenuity and beauty of the construction, and Alison’s close readings can be exhilarating. These vulnerabilities are not lethal-a house-of-cards constructedness is a feature of a lot of literary criticism. Another quibble is that Alison is working at a level of abstraction that insures she can apply almost any shape to almost any text. One quibble is that the book’s thesis, that literature is boringly in thrall to Aristotle, is a bit of a straw man. Alison is in a lightly transgressive space, in which chatting about your own sexual pleasure is as unremarkable as mapping a metaphor, and in which the two things are highly relevant to each other. ![]() 8/18/2023 0 Comments Ecto endo body type![]() Rating your somatotype with the old Sheldon system is only a tool to classify how your body looks now. That's why it's a fair question to ask, "Does knowing your body type even matter for achieving your fitness goals?" The somatotype system was developed in the 1930's, before the bodybuilding and fitness field had developed yet, and the original body typing system had limitations and flaws. It's also helpful if you look at this from the more modern and scientific point of view. What can be helpful is understanding your dominant body type (or primary two-type mix). Your body type is not the most important thing to know for customizing your training and nutrition plan. This is a fascinating subject with an interesting history, but spending a lot of time trying to figure out your exact 7-point score isn't necessary except out of pure curiosity. If you also think you have some endomorph characteristics, because you easily put on fat as well as muscle, you probably do. If you think you have an element of mesomorph, because you had natural muscularity before you even started lifting weights, then you probably do. However, usually your own self-assessment is correct. Scoring your body type using the Sheldon system can only be done through visual observation, so without photographs, or at least an extremely detailed verbal description that gives a good mental picture, we can't identify your category. You can't have a high endomorph and ectomorph score at the same time, because they are opposite ends of the spectrum. For example, you could have a 7-3-2 (endo-meso-ecto) body type, which is mostly endomorph and a little bit meso and ecto, or you could be a 1-5-5 (endo-meso-ecto), which is a strong mix of mesomorph and ectomorph. ![]() It's common to have a mix of body types, but usually one or two are dominant, such as endo-mesomorph or ecto-mesomorph. A pure ectomorph - someone who is tall, extremely skinny (not much muscle), and doesn't have an ounce of fat - might rate endomorph: 1, mesomorph: 1, ectomorph: 7 (1-1-7). ![]() Pure body types, a 7 on the Sheldon scale, are rare, but do exist. Using the numerical scale, you could get even more specific by assigning a score of 1 to 7 for how strongly you fit into each category. Mesomorph - average frame, medium joints, muscular, leanĮctomorph - small frame, small joints, skinny, very lean If you approach it from a more modern point of view, then knowing your body's tendencies can be useful in many ways.Īccording to Sheldon's system, there are three major body types:Įndomorph - large frame, large joints, round, high body fat They may be partly right, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Today, some fitness authorities claim that body typing is outdated and not helpful. Most of the authors and experts believed that knowing your body type was a useful tool for adjusting your training and nutrition. In those days, almost every book I read about bodybuilding had a section explaining the three major body types. ![]() Can you help me score my exact body type? Last question: Does knowing your body type really matter for achieving your fitness goals?Ī: Rating your body type using the classic system invented by psychologist William Sheldon is called "somatotyping." Most people just use the term body type instead of somatotype, but whatever you call it, people have been intrigued by this concept for years.īack in the 1980's and 1990's there was even more interest. I have fairly small joints but I also seem to gain fat easily when I let myself slip on my diet and training and I have to admit that's a little frustrating. ![]() First, is it possible to have some of every body type?
