I HATE playing mobile games but my wife got me hooked on Dawncaster. It’s a roguelike deck builder. I think it’s like $4-5 and no micro transactions but there are expansion packs to add new zones and enemies. I’ve since picked them all up. It’s regularly updated with free content packs and balance changes. The devs are very responsive with the community.
Didn’t get to watch it until after work. As far as the episode went, I enjoyed it. So far IMO better than the previous season. I do agree with your analysis on the subject matter but still got some laughs out of those moments that are in the background or random elements of humor (Zoidberg’s main moment in this episode). Sorry trying not to be too vague while keeping from giving away spoilers.
Weather prediction at point locations is extremely challenging to get right because we simply can’t observe and make predictions for every single square inch of the earth. Many weather models are run on grids with boxes about the size of a few kilometers at the smallest scale, which means that any physical process in the atmosphere that is the size of that box or smaller won’t be represented well by the model.
Specifically on your point about clouds passing over your location, cloud and precipitation formation is even more challenging. Clouds and precipitation form due to atmospheric processes ranging from hundreds of kilometers all the way down to micrometers, which practically means the weather models are making an educated guess (albeit a very good one that is informed by scientific research) about when and where clouds will form. And when a model does predict a cloud, it will cover an entire grid box.
Finally, I saw you made a comment about how machine learning should improve forecasts, and in fact it does! But the weather community is still working on data driven models (as opposed to models that solve physical atmospheric equations), and most of them are run by private companies so their output is not free. As these data driven models get better, it may be possible that they will be able to make predictions at scales less than a kilometer.
Are you only using QEMU, or are you using some sort of wrapper around it? QEMU is quite advanced, if you aren’t already, I’d recommend you use some sort of GUI like virt-manager or something.
Can you share your config?
Does it BSOD or just reboot after the Windows logo?
You might have to pass the drives through as IDE, Windows might not have the proper drivers for anything else. Once you can get it booting you can mount a blank drive as virtio, install the virtio drivers, and then change the OS drive to virtio.
Some airports are still reporting temps once an hour, so the info you get from an app can be old and irrelevant. Also some apps use a forecast made days before, they are too cheap/busy to update it.
Since you’re stuck with baldness until the skin is treated, maybe have fun with it? Get some kids’ WASHABLE markers and let your friends’ kids draw on it.
Oh, what am I saying? You already have A PERFECT ORB!
Just get yourself between 2 mirrors and contemplate it.
Point one is key! I will add to it, floss of any sort is great. And for my mouth 'interdental brushes' do just a little bit more, so the combination has become a key part of my dental routine.
Most importantly: Brush at least once, better twice a day. No exceptions ever. Make it part of your daily morning or evening rituals. It takes about a day for plaque to harden and then you can no longer brush it away. Don’t ever let it get to that.
If you can afford one, get an electric toothbrush.
Be gentle with the brush. All you need is a very soft scrubbing. Pressure can damage your teeth and gums.
Chewing gum can reduce acids and help remineralize your enamel after eating. Sugar free is better, but afaik even gum with sugar has a net positive effect if you chew it long enough after the sugar has dissolved.
Try to avoid getting into a routine that leaves out spots when brushing. Personally, I switch hands every day and once or twice a week I use a non-electric brush.
If you want to optimize this: those tablets that the dentist uses to stain plaque to check where you missed a spot are cheap, you don’t necessarily need a dentist for that if you can’t afford one.
Floss and use interdental brushes regularly. Use mouthwash every now and then, and at the first sign of gum inflammation. Preferably one without alcohol, because that seems to increase the risk of cancer.
If you can’t afford professional tooth cleaning, try asking for calculus removal, if you have any. Here in Germany that’s ~15€ instead of ~100€. Once it’s gone prevent it from building up again (see above).
If you have cavities, try to get rid of them as early as possible. Maybe there are some charity or teaching clinics. Cavities only ever get more expensive in the long run. And it is much easier to maintain an infection free mouth than to constantly fight to keep the decay from spreading.
A toothpaste that restores your enamel. It’s prescription in the US but you can get Apagard Premio off Amazon.
It’s probably a good idea to get some extra fluoride since the Apagard doesn’t have any. I use purple Listerine, but I kinda hate it, so find something you like.
You should floss, which I’m shitty at, so I use a water pick a few times a week. All kinds of nasty crap comes out, even after brushing, so it’s gotta be better than nothing.
I use a Philips Sonicare toothbrush, no need to get the fancy ones, it’s mostly extra accessories. There are probably less expensive ultrasonic toothbrushes out there that work well… doing it twice a day manually is probably better for you than once a day with a fancy toothbrush.
Hang in there, clinical trials of a drug that regrows teeth are underway and the results are promising.
Most of the ones you find will have the "handle" parallel to the floss. There are some out there where the handle is perpendicular to the floss, but they're a bit harder to find on store shelves. I found that the latter make it much easier to get to the back teeth, but I do just fine with the former, too.
Disclaimer: This is not personal medical/dental advice, just my own understanding that I'm sharing.
Floss (or water pick) first, then mouthwash, then brush, then don't rinse.
Floss to open up the gums and knock loose anything stuck in between teeth.
Mouthwash to get rid of the solids and get a bit of fluoride in between teeth.
Brushing after mouthwash, because toothpaste typically has a much higher concentration of fluroide than mouthwash does.
And avoid rinsing after brushing so you don't wash away the residual fluoride from the toothpaste.
To echo this great comment: Gardens are amazing…and they don’t have to be much. To have an avocado tree that you’ve somehow kept alive for 5 years after you forgot you threw itnin the dirt is amazing.
Managing your money, time and friendships (including the fuzzy ones) is also key…small steps and big rewards.
Travel, if and when you can, instead of gifts, is more rewarding and opens you up to different life choices you may not know exist.
