Political wire12/17/2023 ![]() ![]() There may be people who find such trenchant insight interesting to read. It's that, for purposes of this thread, I just don't care. "Suchandsuch is right-wing prick who has blood on his hands because of blahblahblah," may be entirely true. But I will delete any personal flames, which have nothing to do with The Wire, directed at either of them. I know there are certain readers here who nurse a visceral dislike for Goldberg and Douthat. It all felt deeply cynical.Īnyway, before I throw this to comments, a bit of essential concern-trolling Let me apologize to the vast majority of my commenters, but experience has taught me to handle this in advance. I even hated the manner of Omar's death-not that he was killed by Kinard, but that he was basically brought back into the plot, simply to be killed. He hosts The Matt Walsh Show podcast on The Daily Wire.He is the author of the books Church of Cowards: A Wake-Up Call to Complacent Christians as well as The Unholy Trinity: Blocking the Lefts Assault on Life, Marriage, and Gender. I most disliked the ease with which Marlo took over the city's drug trade. Matt Walsh (born June 18, 1986) is an American conservative political commentator, podcaster, writer and author. I thought the serial killer turn-particularly the way Freeman embraced it-was hastily executed. I thought that the press angle was poorly done-and saying "Yeah well it's reporters who are objecting" is a weak, ad-hominem defense. It felt like a desire to show futility of systems became the author of plot, not character. Now, nihilism was always at work in The Wire, but at the end, I felt like it just became too much. ![]() I thought this was less true in Season Five, when a clear ideology did emerge, but it wasn't left or right. T's a testament to the genius of the show that its depiction of Baltimore (and by extension, America) offers fodder for liberal, conservative, leftist and libertarian readings - much like reality itself! In this sense, The Wire is the rarest and most precious of beasts: A work of art that's intensely political but rarely devolves into agitprop.

Fe atomic radius12/17/2023 ![]() The classical description cannot be used to describe things on the atomic scale. Due to the quantum nature of electrons, the electrons are not point particles, they are smeared out over the whole atom. It may seem, that the space and in fact the matter is empty, but it is not. These electrons together weigh only a fraction (let say 0.05%) of entire atom. But this “huge” space is occupied primarily by electrons, because the nucleus occupies only about 1721×10 −45 m 3 of space. Assuming spherical shape, the uranium atom have volume of about 26.9 ×10 −30 m 3. The Van der Waals radius, r w, of an atom is the radius of an imaginary hard sphere representing the distance of closest approach for another atom. For uranium atom, the Van der Waals radius is about 186 pm = 1.86 ×10 −10m. The volume of an atom is about 15 orders of magnitude larger than the volume of a nucleus. As a result, the electron cloud contracts and the atomic radius decreases. Therefore, the effective nuclear charge towards the outermost electrons increases, drawing the outermost electrons closer. The atomic radii decrease across the periodic table because as the atomic number increases, the number of protons increases across the period, but the extra electrons are only added to the same quantum shell. Consequently, the smallest atom is helium with a radius of 32 pm, while one of the largest is caesium at 225 pm. On the periodic table of the elements, atomic radius tends to increase when moving down columns, but decrease when moving across rows (left to right). A metallic radius is one-half the distance between the nuclei of two adjacent atoms in a crystalline structure, when joined to other atoms by metallic bonds. Covalent radius is the nominal radius of the atoms of an element when covalently bound to other atoms. An ionic radius is one-half the distance between the nuclei of two ions in an ionic bond. Van der Waals radius. In principle, Vana der Waals radius is half the minimum distance between the nuclei of two atoms of the element that are not bound to the same molecule.Therefore, there are various non-equivalent definitions of atomic radius. However, this assumes the atom to exhibit a spherical shape, which is only obeyed for atoms in vacuum or free space. The atomic radius of a chemical element is a measure of the distance out to which the electron cloud extends from the nucleus. It must be noted, atoms lack a well-defined outer boundary. The atomic radius of Iron atom is 132pm (covalent radius).

Limelight jessica cruz12/17/2023 Immediately afterwards, a Green Lantern ring descends at the battlefield and transforms Jessica into a new Green Lantern. Jessica survives, and it is revealed that the Black Racer killed Volthoom instead, causing the ring to crumble into dust. This allows Jessica to jump between Flash and the Black Racer, allowing the incarnation of death to apparently kill her.

During the Justice League's confrontation against Grail and Darkseid, Grail manages to separate the Flash from the Black Racer, which immediately begins to pursue the Flash. Jessica, Cyborg and Mister Miracle head to the prison and the close proximity to the Syndicate allows the Ring to possess Jessica's mind and body. After this, the Justice League decides to free the Crime Syndicate to help in the fight against the Anti-Monitor and Grail. Jessica and the rest of the Justice League are then transported away by Metron.

I saw black clouds achievement12/16/2023 ASK for protection and cleaning help from whatever divine energy you work with, and it will be there for you. If you keep your energy clean, keep your body healthy and your aura strong, keep your motivations pure, it’s much harder to pick up unwelcome vermin up and they are much less capable of sticking and doing harm. You have to realize, whatever sticks can only do so IF simpatico with your vibration or if there is some foothold. It’s our job to be discriminating in what we in let close to us. Some of that attention will be supportive and uplifting, but some won’t be. Just like talent or achievement in the physical world attracts strong attention (both good and bad,) so does metaphysical achievements. Powerful energy ripples outward powerfully. This is important for people who work with energies in any capacity to understand, because as you turn up your light, improve your connection, you begin to get noticed more on the astral plane. Some misrepresent, out to feed on your energy, admiration or fear, exploiting your life force for their own ends. Not every spirit is nice any more than every person is. And they are as troublesome in the astral plane as they are in the physical. They don’t help or guide, although some may pretend to. I kept getting the feeling, of “Here you go, Dixie.” But I wasn’t sure at first what I was getting handed. NarcissismĪnd at the same time as the Dark entity pings, I’m constantly hearing references on Narcissists. There are many planes of existence besides the one we label “real world.” Uglies can sometimes make their way here, attaching to people, places or things. It can be young or old, weak or powerful, confused or determined. An Ugly can be an earth-bound ghost, a conglomeration of emotional energy that’s taken form, or astral being from another dimension. It jumped right off the page at me.īlack cloud people DO have an auric disturbance, but it’s not just a sign of being unwell. Researching an unrelated topic, I ran across a mention of entities appearing as dark clouds hovering in the aura. I have been getting a lot of pings lately on dark entities. Once I hit the woo-woo world, I thought, “Ah, that must be the aura I’m sensing.” It’s out of whack, they have the bad luck, end of story. I thought this extraordinary, but had no explanation. I took to referring to them as Black Cloud People. It’s not about how nice or apparently deserving of scratchy karma anybody may be. This is neither a value judgement nor estimation of spiritual state. “It’s like a black cloud, literally hanging above their head.” I knew no other way to describe it. Long ago, I noticed that just by looking at some folks, you just knew their lives are filled with woe, pain and plain bad luck.

Factorio tips12/16/2023 ![]() Flamethrowers are badass but you will need to run pipes to them. Laser turrets are great because you don't have to maintain ammo, but they use A LOT of electricity when fired, so have enough accumulators storing excess energy to support them. ![]() Eventually you can get flamethrowers and lasers, but standard turrets will remain useful through the game. You can have belts around the edge of your base to automatically feed your turrets. If you're playing with biters (I think you should the first time), automate ammo early. They will allow you to see what's going on in the nearby area from the map view so you don't need to walk everywhere, and they also scan small areas further out over time so you can track biter nests. Put radars up around the edges of your base, and at any outposts. For every thing you think you need space for, you will need 10x more than you initially build for. I read this tip a bunch and still didn't space out enough. Once you have robots, you can tell them to tear up entire portions of your base.īy the time I finished my game, I had moved my main factory further away, and almost my entire original base had been re-paved and repurposed. ![]() When you think your initial base is big, eventually that space will be no more than a very small section of your overall footprint. Spaghetti (what your belts and pipes will look like if you build your base without pre-planning) is OK, especially at first. Over time you will understand why the ratios matter, how to organize your base efficiently, how to boost production & transport materials faster, etc., but I definitely recommend starting with only some basic knowledge and learning what NOT to do, and how to fix and improve your situation first. Many of the tips were too math-y or explained complex setups of things I didn't really understand without having experience first. When I started, I looked for a lot of advice, including beginner tips. I'm not an expert by any stretch- it took me 80 hours over a few months, and my base, while improving, is still very inefficient. I just launched my first rocket! Yay! (default settings with biters)

Facebook staff growth to decelerate mandates12/16/2023 ![]() Under the city’s current direction, new buildings that are three storeys and under, with a footprint of 600 square metres or less, in most cases must use electricity for their space and water heating as of this July. He hopes staff will come back with solutions to expedite the city’s current timelines, though he accepts it may be hard to do so for smaller buildings. Having to retrofit structures would also be more costly than making them low-carbon in the first place, Thompson said. “These buildings are going to be around for decades and if we build now with GHG-emitting systems, those systems are going to be locked in for decades.” The councillors targeted rezonings as it was seen as a way to take action quickly. While applauding the previous work on the file, the first-year councillor said the climate science floor is shifting fast and the city needs to take urgent steps in order to stay a leader. Thompson said the councillors want to make sure the city has measures in place if the province continues its delay. “Is it going to be clean enough? It’s hard to say because Fortis is always there doing its lobbying and serving its shareholders … (trying) to hook up as much natural gas as it can,” Thompson said, referring to B.C.’s natural gas distributor.īuildings make up a third of Victoria’s total GHG emissions and that rises to just over 50 per cent of all air pollution in the city when combined with single-family residences’ impact. The city’s 2025 mandate will be activated once the province implements its Carbon Pollution Standard – legislation allowing communities to limit the emissions from new buildings – which isn’t in place despite the expectation it would be by the end of 2022. “It’s a climate emergency and we need to be making sure that, as far as possible, we’re not building buildings with large greenhouse gas emissions in the next few years.” ![]() Dave Thompson said in an interview prior to the Feb. “In my view, we can move much quicker and we need to,” Coun. 16 motion moved by half of Victoria’s councillors calls for staff to explore requiring all applications that need rezonings to include only electric systems for heating, cooling, hot water and cooking. Half a year later and with a new set of councillors, the city could accelerate the already expedited timeline.Ī Feb. When B.C.’s capital city mandated that all new buildings couldn’t produce any greenhouse gases as of July 2025, Victoria touted itself as a leader for bringing in the requirement five years ahead of the province’s timeline.
