9/5/2023 0 Comments Os x mavericks problems![]() If there are other solutions please feel free to share with others in the comments below. I hope this resolves the issue for most of you experiencing it. I then ran the same command with today’s date, see below…Īfter running the command I closed Terminal and attempted to run the Mavericks install again…here I am typing from that same machine two hours later. I simply ran the date command in terminal and saw that my MBP was showing January of 2001…weird. ![]() I’ve been following several threads on Apple Support forums about this same issue and found a single post (thank you Jonathan) that outlined a very simple solution to this problem…your Mac’s time.Īpparently when the software is being downloaded, part of the verification is date and time, so make sure to check your machine’s date and time to see if it’s off. I had already cleaned out the drive in an attempt to start fresh and was SOL. ![]() I could not get Mavericks to install on my 2011 MBP. After 6 different downloads, three USB drives and numerous attempts, I was defeated. Still rips.It was 2AM last night and I simply gave up. Best “perceivable” thing I ever did to an 8 core 2008 Mac Pro. A $80 120GB SSD is more than enough for the system, Rhino, and a bunch of other apps. (Hint - your FW800 drives are not optimal for your “next” Mac) Add the $20 USB3 enclosure at purchase and you are set to utilize your SSD investment as a speedy little external in future. However, IMO, this makes most sense only if you plan to re-purpose the SSD when the old Mac does go out to pasture. Is your old Mac worth such…perhaps not, still, a SSD and a fresh OS, and your old Mac will say 60 is the new 40! (30?) Assuming it does not die of something else thereafter. The most “perceivable” speed upgrade during every day use is going from a standard drive to an SSD, especially the drive in your iMac. If you can spare $100…some might consider the following throwing good money after bad, and such is correct… unless… There is no “right” way really, depends on you. Overkill for most, unless you run an IT department. Now, let’s really complicate…you can create a cloned disk image and replicate: Still, good to become comfortable with a manual build from a boot drive. In addition to the drive swap, you could do so virtually with Carbon Copy Cloner from the external to the iMac internal: I think I will try John’s suggestion and attempt to install Mavericks on a spare external Firewire hard drive I have, from which I will then try to boot via Startup Manager.Īlways more than one way to whack a Mac. Since I am also not in the market for a new computer at the moment I was looking into the possibility of upgrading my old warhorse to Mavericks. As I mentioned in my original post I recently completed the Level 1 training course, and it became obvious that my current OS may not be the right one for it, even though it is a recommended OS by McNeel. For the last 4 months or so, I have begun to make good use of RhinoMac. First about 2 years ago, at which time I could not accomplish much with it. That program has become very long in the tooth, especially with the advent of 3D printing which allows me to make prototypes of my work. ( ) I have used trueSpace 3.1 for all those years. I have been working in 3D modeling for 17 years for visualizing my designs and presenting them to clients. You could make a TimeMachine backup of the old system to the external and then restore just your local account to the whacked local drive, though a pure clean install every few years is best opposed to constant upgrades and/or account migrations. If you are able and conformable, spent the time to “whack” it and reinstall everything (download latest versions for 10.9.x). Often, problems people have are a result of “upgrades” (multiple ones) and/or new OSs. You would do that with the external boot drive John recommends. However, often the best thing to do to an old system is to “whack” it…a highly technical term meaning - re-partition, format, and install a clean OS. You can conclude a lot with ease and will have a useful tool. This is an excellent suggestion for the flexibility it afford: the ability to test without mucking with an installation troubleshoot rebuild, all without affecting the in place system. You can even use that external drove on another Mac to test out different hardware combinations. Then you can boot to it when you want it and can easily go back and forth. Instead, I would install Mavericks on a FireWire external drive. ![]() With its charming, toyetic visual style and bizarrely dark undertones, the vast island of Koholint in The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening has never looked better than it does on Nintendo Switch. Release Date: | Developer: Monolith Soft | Last position: New! | IGN's Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Video Review | IGN's Xenoblade Wiki & Xenoblade 2 Wiki 23. ![]() The series' latest entry, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, is now available. If you're choosing between Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition and its sequel, pick this one. Xenoblade Chronicles was a smart, forward-thinking JRPG with a first-class battle system when it was released on Wii, and it remains one of the best RPGs on the Switch. It remains the best entry in the series to date, featuring the strongest story without losing the sense of scope and freedom of the later games. Originally released on Wii in 2010, it received a comprehensive update in 2020 thanks to Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, which we called the "best version of Xenoblade Chronicles we've ever had." With a story from Xenogears director Tetsuya Takahashi and musical contributions from Yasunori Mitsuda, it forges a direct link to the days of classic PS1-era RPGs. Xenoblade Chronicles has a lot of history behind it.

It proves that exercising can be fun - especially whenF it’s thousands of dollars cheaper than hiring a personal trainer, too. Ring Fit Adventure fixes both of those problems by gamifying exercise and letting you work out from home while somehow making the entire experience feel like a fun, casual RPG.īy strapping the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con to your leg and with the strange, brilliant new Ring-Con peripheral, Ring Fit encourages you to use your whole body to battle monsters, collect coins, level up, and push past your personal bests - all while giving you a serious workout within the confines of your living room. Sure, exercising is good for you, but it’s got two pretty big drawbacks: one, it costs a lot of money to join a gym and, two, it’s kind of boring. ![]() I can recognize that overall this is a well made movie that I might think was okay if I could separate it from Tobe Hooper’s THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE in my mind. The difference is I don’t get as worked up about it as I used to. But it turns out I largely agree with my twenty-something Texas Chain Saw zealot self. I did not re-read my 2003 review until after I watched the movie and wrote down some things that did and didn’t work about it. Truly, it is a rare and beautiful phenomenon in my life of writing about movies that sometimes I decide to rewatch something I used to hate and find out I like it now. Like that old lady at the orphanage when she took in Leatherface. Might as well get a jump on all the 20th anniversary retrospectives coming our way next year and get it over with now. Longer than I thought, by the way! It’s basic math, but it had not quite occurred to me that 2003 means this came out 19 fucking years ago. I ferociously disagreed with that assessment at the time, but like I said, I’ve changed, things have changed. But I had been thinking about the remake, because I’d been seeing people on Twitter – possibly a generation younger than me, who saw it at a different stage in their life and horror fandom – saying that it was a classic in its own right, and they couldn’t believe there were people who disliked it. That was a long time ago, I’ve changed, circumstances have changed, the franchise has changed, this one is more my style than that one was, and even if none of those things were the case, I’d still have different expectations for the - what, fifth? - sequel than the first redo. What I came to understand was that people remembered how fiercely protective of Tobe Hooper’s creation I was when I went scorched earth on Marcus Nispel’s remake in my 2003 Ain’t It Cool News review, which I proudly titled “Vern massacres THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.” At least a few people wished I had come at this unpopular sequel with that same kind of righteous fury. Not nearly as controversial as when I loved the 2013 EVIL DEAD remake directed by the producers/writers of this new CHAINSAW (I stand by that), but my appreciation for it really threw some people for a loop. When I positively reviewed this year’s sequel to THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (1974), coherently titled TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (2022), I wasn’t quite prepared for how controversial that would be. And if you’re interested in something else to read I just put up a new Patreon exclusive (for now) where I do the same for Stephen Sommers’ DEEP RISING. For those of you who missed it when it was a Patreon exclusive in June, here’s my Vern’s Appeals Process revisit to the 2003 remake of THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE. ASEAN (Association of Southeastern Asian Nations) – Founded in 1967, ASEAN now consists of 10 Southeast Asian nations with the shared goal of creating trade-friendly policies, promoting economic growth, and ensuring peace and stability between member states.The goal of the EU is to promote the “Four Freedoms”: the free movement of goods, services, people and money across borders within the member countries. EU (European Union) – This agreement consists of 27 European countries 19 of which share a common currency: the Euro.A new version with updated terms was signed by the United States in 2020. NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement)/USMCA (US-Mexico-Canada Agreement) – This agreement, which took effect in 1994, promotes trade between the United States, Mexico and Canada.Three important examples of trading blocs are: Trading blocs occur whenever two or more nations agree to liberalize trade across their borders via the removal of a combination of tariff and non-tariff. ![]() These rules are designed to limit trade barriers such as subsidies, tariffs, and quotas. Definition of Economic Bloc: A set of countries which engage in international trade together, and are usually related through a free trade agreement or. Trading blocs are simply groups of countries that establish rules for trade between all participating countries. When these agreements contain multiple countries, we refer to them as Trading Blocs. Interdependenceīecause trading blocs increase trade among participating countries, the countries become increasingly dependent on each other.Because there are many benefits to participating in trade, countries often make agreements with other countries to facilitate the free and fair flow of goods and services between them. ![]() For example, the European Union now not only deals not only with trade partnerships, but also with human rights, consumer protection and greenhouse gas emissions. Loss of SovereigntyĪ trading bloc is likely to lead to at least partial loss of sovereignty for its participants. The average cost of production is decreased because mass production is allowed. The larger markets created via trading blocs permit economies of scale. Increases economic leverage for the trading bloc as a whole. Open trade leads to faster transfer of technology across borders. The EU has trade agreements in place with these countries/regions, but both sides are now negotiating an update. It increases local investments since the trading bloc increases the overall size of markets for firms. Size of MarketĪn increase in foreign direct investment results from trade blocs and benefits the economies of participating nations. Thus, the member country may start importing from other member countries since the price becomes artificially cheaper than buying from the previous non-member country. When a trade bloc is formed, an external tariff maybe be applied to non-member countries, making some goods that were initially cheaper, now more expensive. The more efficient producer produces, leading to less wastage of scarce resources. Trade CreationĮliminations of trade barriers for member countries increase domestic production and consumption. ![]() – Union of South American Nations (Unasur/Unasul) 1. – North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Reducing or eliminating barriers (such as tariffs and non-tariffs) allows members within the agreement to trade amongst each other more easily and freely. For example, the European Union is an economic union. A trade bloc (or trading bloc) is a type of agreement between governments where barriers to international trade are eliminated or reduced between participating nations/regions. RTAs, defined in the WTO as reciprocal preferential trade agreements between two or more partners, have allowed countries to negotiate rules and commitments. Economic UnionĪn Economic Union has the same benefits as a common market but there is a common tax system and employs the same currency. For example, no permits are required to work in another member country. Common MarketĪ Common Market is like a customs union but there is a free flow of factors of productions between the countries. Customs UnionĪ Customs Union is like a free trade area except that member countries maintain a common tariff against non-member countries. For example, the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA) between the USA, Canada & Mexico created a free trade area. Two or more countries form a Free Trade Area in which trade barriers between the countries are abolished but each country maintains its own tariffs against non-member countries. 9/5/2023 0 Comments Projectile motion equationsIf, however, the range is large, Earth curves away below the projectile and the acceleration resulting from gravity changes direction along the path. When we speak of the range of a projectile on level ground, we assume R is very small compared with the circumference of Earth. (d) Using a graphing utility, we can compare the two trajectories, which are shown in Figure. Figure illustrates the notation for displacement, where we define \mathbf In other cases we may choose a different set of axes. It is not required that we use this choice of axes it is simply convenient in the case of gravitational acceleration. ![]() (This choice of axes is the most sensible because acceleration resulting from gravity is vertical thus, there is no acceleration along the horizontal axis when air resistance is negligible.) As is customary, we call the horizontal axis the x-axis and the vertical axis the y-axis. The key to analyzing two-dimensional projectile motion is to break it into two motions: one along the horizontal axis and the other along the vertical. We discussed this fact in Displacement and Velocity Vectors, where we saw that vertical and horizontal motions are independent. The most important fact to remember here is that motions along perpendicular axes are independent and thus can be analyzed separately. In this section, we consider two-dimensional projectile motion, and our treatment neglects the effects of air resistance. The motion of falling objects as discussed in Motion Along a Straight Line is a simple one-dimensional type of projectile motion in which there is no horizontal movement. Such objects are called projectiles and their path is called a trajectory. Some examples include meteors as they enter Earth’s atmosphere, fireworks, and the motion of any ball in sports. The applications of projectile motion in physics and engineering are numerous. Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject only to acceleration as a result of gravity. Calculate the trajectory of a projectile.Find the time of flight and impact velocity of a projectile that lands at a different height from that of launch. ![]() Calculate the range, time of flight, and maximum height of a projectile that is launched and impacts a flat, horizontal surface.Use one-dimensional motion in perpendicular directions to analyze projectile motion.By the end of this section, you will be able to: 9/5/2023 0 Comments Nimble crossword![]() It’s also useful to read Wordplay and other puzzle blogs, which helped me internalize the tricks and tropes of crossword clues while I was learning the ropes.” - Dan Feyer, seven-time champion of the American Crossword Puzzle TournamentĪnd don’t worry if you make a mistake.

Imagine it – thousands of inhabited planets at our fingertips. An engine that will someday help us to travel a hundred times faster than we can today. On this site, a powerful engine will be built. Zefram Cochrane in a recorded speech during the dedication of the facility devoted to designing the first engine capable of reaching Warp 5 (thus making interstellar exploration practical for humans) in the year 2119, some thirty-two years before the 2151 launch of the first vessel powered by such an engine, the Enterprise (NX-01): In-universe, the sentence was attributed in the Star Trek: Enterprise pilot episode " Broken Bow" to warp drive inventor Dr. ![]() Lovecraft's novella The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, written in 1927 and published in 1943, includes this passage:Īt length, sick with longing for those glittering sunset streets and cryptical hill lanes among ancient tiled roofs, nor able sleeping or waking to drive them from his mind, Carter resolved to go with bold entreaty whither no man had gone before, and dare the icy deserts through the dark to where unknown Kadath, veiled in cloud and crowned with unimagined stars, holds secret and nocturnal the onyx castle of the Great Ones.
