1/29/2024 0 Comments Earthlock 2 release date![]() For now, though, it’s just you and four potential characters you can swap between rather easily. An upcoming update promises multiplayer, potentially speeding up the gameplay loop (and decluttering the inventory). It’s meant to be a game where survival is less important than exploration and progress is done entirely through finding the next place to go and items to combine. Where the first game was an RPG, Ikonei Island is less about fighting and more about growth and teamwork. It seems that an Earthlock 2 is also in development, so clearly, the world is an important one to the developers. Then, on August 18th, a second game released into early access, developing the Earthlock world even further, and that was Ikonei Island. Over the next few years, they also released comics exploring the world and characters, expanding the Earthlock universe. In 2018, the developer, Snowcastle Games, released their first game, Earthlock, a standard RPG stylized after the games of the late 90s with a variety of characters, including humans, animals, and humanoid animals. ![]() So when Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure came across my radar, with the promise of resource gathering and crafting on a small island, I jumped at the opportunity. I need limits, smaller worlds, and definitive endings. ![]() I fear if I ever played Minecraft, I’d never come out. You should see my chests in a standard Terrariaplaythrough. On top of collectathons, I also enjoy games where there’s just a ton of stuff to gather and make into other stuff. In fact, I may be considered a bit of a packrat. I make no secret that I’m a massive fan of collectathons.

Everything that made the sites appealing to readers was sacrificed in order to feed the beast. It agreed to a million-dollar ad deal and enabled autoplay video ads with sound to reach the impossible terms of the deal. Under Spanfeller, the company took on an air of sweaty desperation. The tech department began to complain of impossible timelines to complete tasks, determined without institutional knowledge or feasibility. Soon after, the sales department was gutted. And finally, we will welcome our unions as positive agents in achieving all these goals.” We will do all this while working hard to promote diversity within our company. And we will develop our abilities to support our teams with back-office competence. We will invest heavily in our Kinja platform. We will find new ways to stimulate consumer trials of our great content. We will add depth and scope to our development capabilities. We will build out our go-to-market abilities. The focus and requirements of these new positions will often be different than what we had, but we will add. “As you will soon see, we will be adding headcount across our operations. The penultimate paragraph of this email contained a series of soon-to-be-broken promises (emphasis Spanfeller’s): He called it getting “rid of internal obstructions.” It did not seem to strike him that this would remove the trust our readers had in our work. And he mentioned his plans, which included removing the firewall between our fiercely independent newsrooms and the ad sales department that supported them. “But it was a necessary step.” He described the firings as “process motivated,” not part of a strategy to make the company smaller. that day, with the subject line “Moving Forward.” “Today was a tough moment in the very new life of G/O Media,” Spanfeller wrote. Eventually I came to feel that it was because those roles presented potential obstacles to what was coming next.Īn email from Spanfeller appeared in my inbox at 4:31 p.m. That may seem insignificant given a total headcount of 400, but the layoffs focused on the editorial leadership. Originally, Spanfeller told Variety he didn’t “plan to cut our way to growth.” Despite his reassurances, on April 30, G/O Media laid off 25 staffers. It was soon clear he planned to apply that innovation to the former Gawker Media empire. His innovation was to produce a lot of low-quality words as cheaply as possible, under the banner of a brand someone else had established with heartfelt work. Spanfeller had made his name turning into an unreadable content mill a decade earlier. We just needed to create more content and let him run the ship. The path to profitability and success was direct and obvious to him. Spanfeller gushed about the “content” we produced, but never mentioned anything he liked. Univision had sold us to Great Hill, in fact, while dealing with its own private-equity investors. When the hollowed-out company collapses, the executives wipe their bloodied snouts and move on. In practice, this usually means saddling their acquisitions with debt and/or awarding themselves lavish salaries, management fees and bonuses. It counts on its own brilliance in a wide variety of very specific fields to make those companies more efficient, with the aim of profiting from a sale. The PE industry, if it can be called that, purchases what it sees as flawed companies. ICYMI: Explosive BuzzFeed scoop raises eyebrows We worked directly for private equity now, and private equity is undefeated against journalists. There was the bankruptcy following a vicious-and successful-lawsuit, brought by the wrestler Hulk Hogan and secretly funded by the right-wing tech billionaire Peter Thiel, as well as a sale to the Spanish-language media company Univision. Spanfeller, the hand-picked chief executive of our new owners, the private-equity firm Great Hill Partners, introduced the first members of what would become his “leadership team.” When someone in the audience wondered why Susie Banikarim, our editorial director, wasn’t there, no one on stage could provide a reassuring answer.ĭeadspin, the site I helped run as managing editor, had weathered severe storms. It was his introductory town hall, and he was there to strike a conciliatory note. Jim Spanfeller looked like the main characters from Caddyshack melded together, and had the demeanor of a personal injury lawyer. The new chief executive of G/O Media, the company that used to be Gawker, addressed his new staff in a makeshift auditorium around the central stairs of our Flatiron offices. 1/29/2024 0 Comments Uncle roger![]() There’s much more to Nigel Ng than his portrayal of Uncle Roger. What started out as a part-time job, soon became a successful career that has taken him from the US to the UK. It was during this time that he began his foray into comedy. Born in Kuala Lumpur, Nigel majored in Engineering at Northwestern University, Illinois, US, and for a period of time, worked as a data scientist upon graduation. The egg friend rice video has since garnered over three million views and also introduced the world to the talented comedian behind the Uncle Roger persona, Nigel Ng. The sentiment has been particularly strong among Malaysians in view of 2018 MasterChef UK’s controversial critique of Malaysian contestant Zaleha Opin’s chicken rendang dish not being “crispy.” ”You make all our ancestor cry again.It’s no wonder when the video of the now-famous Uncle Roger roasting BBC Food’s egg fried rice recipe, presented by Hersha Patel, first surfaced in 2020, Asians and rice lovers across the world immediately resonated with his outrage and rhapsodised about his critique and caricature.”Use the right amount, not the white amount.”.But if your rice uncooked, you definitely fucked up." (another version of him saying about rice, referring to how Kay’s Cooking cooked fried rice with uncooked rice) "Uncle Roger say, if your rice too wet, you fucked up."He even fucked up the trash can?!" (reacting to a video by HowToBasic)."Sorry children." (used when he makes a dirty joke)."FUIYOHHH!" (often used when he's impressed/happy with something)."HAIYAAA!" (often used when something goes wrong)."Uncle Roger so upset, I put my leg down from chair!" (Referring to how he often has his left foot on his chair when recording videos only in an event of great shock/disappointment will he put his leg down).But if your rice is too dry, you also fucked up." "If your rice is too wet, you fucked up.However, according to Nick DiGiovanni, when somebody with the "Uncle" or "Auntie" title did something to break Uncle Roger, he takes away the Uncle or Auntie title from them, making it seem hard to get the title and be consistent with it.Otherwise, he calls them "Niece" and "Nephews". Uncle Roger often gives the "Uncle" or "Auntie" title to those (mostly chefs) who impressed him.Uncle Roger's favorite K-POP group is "TWICE", as the clip of TWICE's music videos are played whenever Uncle Rogers says a line that is the same as the their song's lyrics.This is followed by Uncle Roger saying "Sorry, children". Whenever Uncle Roger remarks a dirty joke, the theme of PornHub would be played in the background accompanied with a pink filter.He is a fan of Nijisanji VTuber Mysta Rias and the two have several interactions on Twitter.He often mentions and rants on Jamie Oliver after reacting to a video where Jamie makes egg fried rice, which traumatized him badly. He occasionally makes jokes about harsh Asian parenting and being "dumped" by his "ex-wife Auntie Helen". Since becoming viral in July 2020, Nigel uses the Uncle Roger persona as a depiction of a middle-aged Asian man with pronounced Malaysian Chinese accent (pronouncing words like "video" as "weejio", using verbal exclamations like "haiyaaa" and "fuiyohh") and embodies many East Asian stereotypes, such as wearing bright colored polo t-shirts, using phone waist bags, and an exaggerated obsession with the use of monosodium glutamate (MSG) in cooking. Since then, Nigel continues to assume the Uncle Roger persona with a variety of video critiques, such as reacting to cooking videos, working at restaurants, and visiting places related to Asian heritage. ![]() ![]() After his video went viral, both he and Patel went on BBC together, and did a cooking collaboration not long after. In his critique video, Nigel assumed the comedic persona of "Uncle Roger", a middle-aged Asian man with a pronounced Malaysian Chinese accent and prides himself on many East Asian stereotypes. In July 2020, he became viral as a result of a video criticizing a controversial BBC Food video of Hersha Patel cooking egg fried rice, where the method of cooking the rice in the video was widely panned by many Asian viewers for not washing the rice before cooking and for using a sieve. Having enjoyed pursuing comedy in clubs and festivals while studying at university, he eventually decided to become a full-time stand-up comedian not long after. īefore becoming a stand-up comedian, he moved to the UK to work as a data scientist and has a GitHub page. He studied engineering and philosophy at Northwestern University in Illinois, graduating in 2014. Nigel Ng was born on 15 March 1991 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Malaysian Chinese parents of Hokkien ancestry. 1/29/2024 0 Comments Networking ip camera![]() However, depending on what network gear you run, it's possible that you can run everything together. Certainly if you are using a router supplied by your service provider or an inexpensive "all in one" consumer grade router, it is probably best to keep the CCTV traffic off of it. Many will argue that this is the best solution. Therefore, NVR cooperating with IP cameras will meet your demands better for its updated technology and wide application.You can certainly isolate the cameras on their own network switch or DVR. Security systems are never a one-size-fits-all approach. Great importance should be attached to choosing the right IP cameras according to actual needs. Video surveillance is closely related to life. ![]() Typically, if it’s a wired connection, an Ethernet cable can be used to connect to the NVR. Network connection: IP security cameras connect to the NVR using wired or wireless connections. ![]() IP cameras capture and process video and audio data, while NVR helps to record videos and manage cameras. Besides, it can hook up the router, monitor, or viewing station on the other side to show what had happened.Ĭameras: NVR is generally used in combination with IP cameras. NVR contains corresponding Ethernet ports that you can connect to multiple cameras on one side. NVR: The function is to receive video footage through a network data connection and store footage for review. NVR camera systems are made up of three parts: cameras, a network, and the NVR. How Does NVR Function in an NVR Camera System? For municipal buildings and factories, you will require more cameras and consequently a bigger NVR, then it is recommended to choose 32 channels. If you need more cameras but at the same time you need to consider the budget, 16 channels can be selected. They are the entry-level NVR for your home, retailer store, or small office applications. If you are just building a basic video surveillance system, 4 channels/8 channels meet the basic needs. The channel indicates the number of supported cameras. For more details: Setting Up NVR for IP Cameras With or Without PoE Switch?Īs for the number of channels, typically, NVR can be divided into 4 channel NVR, 8 channel NVR, 16 channel NVR, and 32 channel NVR. Non-PoE NVR: A non-PoE model has no ports for cameras to connect to on the back panel but can add cameras with the built-in scan function that finds cameras connected to the same network.ĭifferent types of PoE/Non-PoE NVRs have different installation methods. PoE NVR: Power over Ethernet models is used when cameras, that also have the PoE specification, need to be powered by being directly plugged into the NVR's PoE ports and do not require a separate power adapter to work. How Many Types of Network Video Recorders?Īccording to the functions of PoE, NVR can be divided into PoE NVR and Non-PoE NVR. Read NVR vs DVR, What Are Their Differences? to figure out these two different ways of recording. Besides, other benefits of better viewing converge and recognition of faces, license plate can also be included. ![]() Viewed as the successor to the digital video recorder (DVR), the network video recorder can be managed remotely over the Internet, providing great flexibility to users. It can record video and audio as well as access recorder images and live scenarios. A network video recorder does not use any dedicated hardware for video capture but makes use of special software on a dedicated device. Adopting NVR in NVR camera systems is an inevitable trend from retail stores to financial institutions and municipal buildings.Ī network video recorder is considered a complete IP camera recording system and is mostly employed within IP video surveillance systems. NVR is widely used in many surveillance systems by cooperating with IP Cameras to provide pictures and videos. Video Surveillance has been popular in recent years, bringing convenience to people's daily life, such as remote video monitoring, facility protection, and loss prevention. 1/28/2024 0 Comments Chef chen halal![]() Dried chilli was also tossed with the final dish, providing an extra oomph to the crispy, well-seasoned exterior. Though small, these tiny bites packed a punch! The initial sting from the heat built up slowly into a full-blown numbing sensation after I popped a few into my mouth. One that stood out from the menu was Szechwan Popcorn Chicken ($4), which featured tiny balls of chicken breaded in a spicy Sichuan spice mix before going through the fryer. We were famished that day, and decided to spend a little extra moolah on some sides. This gave each mouthful a pleasant textural contrast, from the crunchy strands, to the moist and starchy ones. The noodles itself boast an interesting texture some strands soaked up the gravy well, while the rest remained dry and crisp. Unfortunately, the seafood had a fishy smell, which overwhelmed most of the natural flavour of the other ingredients. It was only when I reached the halfway mark that the heat started to slowly rev up with a slow burn from the back of my tongue. Surprisingly, this dish proved to be largely manageable, with the flavour of fermented beans masking some of the spiciness. Though Mapo Don looks like a mountain of mush on first sight, you’ll find a bed of rice under all that cubed tofu.īeing a spice wimp, I expected myself to tear up after a few mouthfuls when I saw bits of peppercorn mixed into the gravy. $3), which turned out too tart for our liking. To get the best of both worlds, we ordered Set Meal 2 ($10.80), which came with Mapo Don, Dan Dan Mien, and a drink. Offering Sichuan cuisine with a Japanese twist, this one-month old restaurant is opened by Michelin-starred chef Chen Kentaro. I did, however, manage to let go of my past animosity with Sichuan food after stumbling upon Chen’s Mapo Tofu. I’m not a huge fan of Sichuan cuisine, ‘cause it brings back bad memories of my first and last ma la experience where I basically went into shock from the spices and numbing heat. Chen’s Mapo Tofu dishes out bowls of Sichuan donburi 1/28/2024 1 Comment Home remedies for anxiety![]() Some supplements can interact with prescription medications and interfere with their effectiveness. Can I take herbal supplements along with my prescription medication? They can help you address, understand, and learn to successfully manage your anxiety long term. While supplements may help you manage some symptoms, they likely won’t cure your anxiety.īecause anxiety is often a result of an underlying cause - like past experiences or biological factors - it’s best to seek the support of a medical or mental health professional.

Be sure to check state laws, especially when traveling. However, CBD products containing more than 0.3 percent THC still fall under the legal definition of marijuana, making them federally illegal but legal under some state laws. This made some hemp-derived CBD products with less than 0.3 percent THC federally legal. Is CBD legal? The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp from the legal definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act. More research is needed on its benefits, safety, and how it may interact with other medications. While CBD is generally considered safe, there’s still a lot we don’t know about it. A 2015 review also found that CBD can help provide calming relief to those with: It has many reported uses, including soothing pain, treating acne, and easing anxiety.Ī 2020 research review supports its use as a treatment for anxiety, including providing symptom relief for those with social anxiety disorder.

How do they work?Įnam: Well, it's kind of interesting I think because the match makers often study about the family backgrounds, their values and their perceptions, everything, and when they see that this two persons have the same, kind of, values, and they share the same level of understanding, then they talk with the parents and always both the man and woman has a chance to talk about the values and how to think about the lives and that then they decide whether to get married or not. they fall in love and many times actually they go against the parents and that's actually common in the movies. They are often reliant Arranged marriage is bad both for the individual women concerned and for women generally in society. Others see them as a quaint custom in need of adjustment to the modern. Arranging marriages is an insult to the very nature of marriage, which should be about creating a lo To allow arranged marriages leads to unacceptable pressure on those involved. For some, they’re equivalent to forced marriage. Katia: Well, I would really trust my parents that they would choose the best thing for me, however if I would meet somebody else before they did, I would probably want to choose my own husband, but then it would also be interesting to understand my parents and because I know they would want the best thing for me, but it's a little bit difficult question.Įnam: So, Katia, do you have arranged marriages in Mexico? Or you don't have? Arranged marriages occupy an awkward place in contemporary Britain. The divorce rate for these couples is around 6 percent, which is significantly lower than divorce rates in Westernized countries, like. This accounts for just over 50 percent of worldwide marriages. More than 26 million of these marriages take place each year on Earth. You are a Bangladeshi girl and your parents are asking you to marry a guy they choose for you. Statistics indicate arranged marriage is a modern practice around the globe. but tell me Katia, what would you do if you were in Bangladesh and you had to do arranged marriage? Suppose you are in Bangladesh. Soon, an arranged marriage is set up between the two, and they eventually become engaged, figuring out how to set their differences aside and make their relationship work. Katia: Wow! That is so interesting, but what about you? How do you feel about it?Įnam: Actually, I have decided not to go for arranged marriage, and I have already talked with my mom and she said, " OK, you can choose your own bride". Their parents just arrange the marriage and introduce them for two days or a few weeks, they just get to know each other, maybe just little talks. They want to choose their own bride or groom by themselves, but yeah, we still have this arranged marriage in our villages where the bride doesn't know the groom and the groom doesn't even know the bride. We still have arranged marriages but the number of arranged marriages are declining these days because students, or even you can say young generation, don't like this custom anymore. Katia: Hey, Enam, I've heard that in Bangladesh there are still arranged marriages. 1/28/2024 0 Comments Ios 360 web browser download![]() If you are able to watch YouTube videos in other browsers, it indicates the current browser doesn’t support 360-degree videos format.
