The #spirit in #matter - or always having trouble with the #lemma Mind < Matter - the dilemma Who knows whether the story would have turned out differently had the 23-year-old young man not simply run out of the warm tiled stove in the farmer's room in the winter night of 1619, during the Thirty Years' War, not far from Ulm. Then maybe he would not have meditated (out of boredom) and it would not be for this century work "Meditationes de prima philosophia, in qua Dei existentia et animae immortalitas demonstratur" (Latin "Meditations on the First Philosophy, in which the existence of God and immortality the soul is proven ") from 1641. As the basis of his philosophy he sets up an epistemological postulate with which he can be equated as a slogan - or, in modern language, meme - with: "Cogito ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am.), Which then ultimately serves as the basis for his metaphysics serves.

2023.03.29 12:00 neshi3Issues with RTX3070 only works in demanding games if I set power limit to 95% and underclock the core and memory
My build right now:
AMD Ryzen 5700x
Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite
RAM 32 GB 3200Mhz
TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 OC Edition
Power Supply MSI A650GF 650W
Triple monitor setup, 2 on HDMI, and one with a adapter from Display Port to HDMI
So I have a issue with my graphics card. Every time I play a game with more "intense" graphics, like RDR2, or Cyber Punk, or I try to run 3DMark the video card just turns off. The screens turn off, but the PC still runs, for example, I can still hear Discord chat from friends, just the screens turn off. This happens usually after 10-15 minutes of gameplay. Sometimes faster. It works nice if the game is not so demanding, like FallGuys, or Smite. If I set it from Afterburner at 95% and lower the core and memory frequencies by 150-200 mhz, the video card runs fine. Finishes the 3D Mark, I can play for hours with no issue. Right now I don't know what the problem could be. Should I take the card apart and change the termal pads and paste ? Temps seem to be fine but run in the high 81-85 degrees range on full blast in RDR2 or 3DMark. Or is there something else the problem with the graphics card. I don't have any more warranty on the card :(
2023.03.29 11:57 nemerd7AoC monitor won't turn on at all
so i bought this AoC 27G2U/BK monitor at feb.2020. it had a 3 year warranty. exactly 1 month after warranty expires the monitor gave up and turned off for good. now i tried to contact support to get my monitor repaired and they refuse to fix it for me, even though i told them that i can pay for repair. i think there is a reason why most people who know anything about monitors go for samsung/asus etc. for their monitor of choice. i think that the power supply board within the monitor is not working. i'll try to fix it myself but then i am selling this monitor for half the price to get 2 monitors from different brand, a more reliable brand.

2023.03.29 11:54 black-knight-13Master of the Long Bow: Yamamoto Asaya
Name: Yamamoto Asaya Age: 16 Appearance: Short, sandy blonde hair, dark green eyes, lean frame, pale skin, pupils shaped like crosshairs. Clothing: Black cargo pants, short-sleeved green shirt, black boots, grey vest, black fingerless gloves, beaded necklace around his neck with an arrowhead charm, grey sunglasses. Personality: Serious, calm, level-headed, easy-going, dedicated, charming when he speaks, kind, and family-oriented. Quirk: Deadshot. Asaya's Quirk gives him an incredible range of vision. The crosshairs in his pupils are a mutation that has been passed down in his family for generations. Asaya has traditional sight but added effects such as night vision, thermal vision, micro-vision, Interscope, and even X-ray. These different types of vision give him a range of advantages in the field and his sense of vision is so great that he can even detect the movements of his opponents by analyzing their body motions such as footsteps, muscle coiling, hand gestures, and even eye movements. Quirk Drawbacks: Since his Quirk is entirely dependent on his vision, Asaya is weak against any kind of bright light. If he comes in contact with anything that could potentially disrupt his vision then he will be at a major disadvantage in the field. Plus, his Quirk allows him to detect minute movements in his opponents if they can stay out of his line of sight or finds some way to distract him then he could get weaker. Quirk Supermoves: (Asaya doesn't have any physical super moves due to the way his Quirk operates so he uses different Trick Arrows to aid him in battle.) Sonic Arrow: Unleashes an ear-piercing sonic echo upon impact or creates a confusing echo of a voice or sound Asaya has heard before. Incendiary Arrow: Burns its target upon impact. Flashbang Arrow: A flashbang grenade in the form of an arrow. Shock Arrow: An electrifying arrow that shocks its target upon impact. Zip-tie Arrow: Unleashes a set of zip-tie handcuffs that can be used to retrain a target. Grappling Hook Arrow: An arrow that shoots a line to a target that can be used to reach higher areas by using swinging lines and zip lines. Echo Arrow: An arrow that can either record voices or listen in on conversations. Freeze Arrow: Unleashes super fast freezing liquid nitrogen that freezes a target in place. Knockout Gas Arrow: Unleashes a gas that renders all who inhale it unconscious. Hero Name: The Archer Hero: Justice Arrow Hero Costume: Black and red cargo pants, long-sleeved black shirt, crimson hooded vest, black and red gauntlets with black fingerless gloves, and black boots. Black-trimmed red armor covers his shins and knees, armor padding covers the backs of his hands, and curved armor padding covers his shoulders. On his thighs, he carries a set of Eskrima sticks made especially for Asaya, his belt carries kunai knives and shuriken, and on his back, he carries a quiver of arrows each one designed for a different purpose. He also carries a specially made collapsable, compound bow which is his primary weapon. Over his eyes, he wears a specially made pair of goggles that increase his range of vision even more than normal along with keeping his eyes protected. Background: Asaya grew up as the only son of a famous Kyudo Dojo. His family had been archers ever since the Warring States Era and had continued the tradition even in the modern days of Quirks and Heroes. As the only son, Asaya was tasked with continuing the tradition and began training since he was old enough to pick up a bow. Most children would have found this taxing and boring but Asaya found it rather enjoyable. The way he felt totally at peace when he drew his bow and notched his arrows, made him feel whole. As Asaya grew, he planned to continue on with his family dojo until the day his elder sister became sick. On the eve when his sister was supposed to meet her future husband, she was caught in the crossfire of a villain attack. One that could use poison gas to his advantage. When Asaya heard of this he immediately left the dojo to help her but a moment too late and his sister inhaled a severe amount of poison gas and nearly lost her life if Asaya hadn't taken her to a hospital. His sister survived but the poison affected her body and she has been confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Seeing his beloved sister in such a state and feeling the bitterness of not being able to help her during a dangerous time angered Asaya immensely. He chooses to set aside his role of being the dojo's successor and turns his attention to being a hero. So that no one ever feels the pain of seeing someone they love harmed by the cruelty of villainy.
2023.03.29 11:54 Gyo-muMoving to Tokyo near Waseda in a few weeks.
Hello, I got my working Visa in order to make my Postdoc at Waseda Univ, I will take my flight from in a few weeks from now. I have a conversational level in Japanese but never lived on my own in Japan and I have a few questions : Which part of Tokyo would you advice me to search my apartment in? I have seen that in might find something in 新宿区, 豊島区 or 文京区 in order to have easy access to Nishi Waseda Campus by walk, bicycle or 東西線. My budget would be around 7万 I would prefer some quite place and prefer something a bit old with 30sqm rather than something new and small. I also do not mind living in a 事故物件 Would it be difficult to find an apartment in this price range ? Do you have any recommendation about some place that might be within 30min of bicycle from Waseda Station? Are there anything I should know about Japanese apartments? for example if it’s better to find an apartment that used gas or one that used electricity etc.... Thank you!!

2023.03.29 11:50 Cassiopee38calling programmable block's function through the toolbar
i made a script with few functions to open/close hinges and extend/retract pistons (popups turrets you know) and i dont know how to use it through the toolbar. when i want to let the guns out i have several tasks to do 1 : check if guns aren't already extended, if yes, do nothing to that particular guns 2 : check if doors are opened and if not, opens it 3 : extend the guns and for the stow function, its the same 1 : check if the guns aren't already stowed, if yes, do nothing. 2 : retract guns 3 : when guns are retracted, close the doors. everything works fine and that's quite an accomplishment ! but now i have to implement a way to call those function through the toolbar and i dont know how to do it. Either make two programmable blocks that i turn on/off. inelegant but could work by sharing 75% of common code. Either find a way to share variables between those two blocks. Either there is a way to create a Toolbar button in script but i dont know how. what are your thoughts ? thanks

2023.03.29 11:42 TenXCommercialHow To Take Advantage Of Multifamily Commercial Properties
Multifamily apartment buildings for sale such as duplexes and apartment buildings can be profitable for several reasons. These properties have a wide range of benefits to the investors such as potential appreciation, steady income, a hedge against inflation and economies of scale. If you are looking to invest in commercial real estate but are not too sure where to begin, here are some things to consider to take advantage of multifamily properties. Pros Multifamily properties offer economies of scale. This means that the cost of managing and maintaining a single unit in a multifamily property is lower than the cost of maintaining a single-family property. For example, if you have a problem with the roof, you need to pay for repairs once rather than paying on multiple single-family properties. https://preview.redd.it/0x2fbsrmfnqa1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f591d2f9e2105f6f260848551295003eb442b3e The income from multiple rental units will help you offset the costs of any vacancy periods in individual units. Also, multifamily properties can provide a steady stream of income. As long as you have tenants, you should get regular income. Multifamily properties also appreciate value with time. Consider the risks Whilst multifamily properties can be very profitable, there are some risks you should keep in mind. You should consider risks such as property management challenges, market fluctuations, vacancy risks, maintenance costs, competition from other property investors and financial difficulties. If you are a new investor, you may face additional challenges such as a lack of familiarity with the local market and a lack of experience in property management. You can minimize these risks by educating yourself about the real estate market, having a solid plan, seeking professional advice and finding the right property buy-sell online platform. Make sure this type of investment is right for you Knowing whether multifamily investing is right for you requires self-reflection and careful consideration. To determine if this investment is right for you, you should consider your strategy, local market conditions and your financial situation. This type of property investment requires a sound strategy and a long-term commitment as well as a strong financial foundation. You should also research the local market. Because of this, it may not be ideal for those with limited financial resources or experience. You should consider your resources, goals and market conditions before making the right decision. Investing in multifamily properties can be a profitable investment with a lot of benefits. From potential appreciation and steady income to economies of scale, multifamily properties can provide investors with a solid ROI. Owning a multifamily property can also offer diversification and demand for rental investment. However, before buying multifamily apartment buildings for sale, it is essential to ensure you do research and understand the market conditions. If you are considering investing in commercial real estate, you should take a closer look at multifamily buildings. From experience, I can assure you that it has potential. You just need to have a passion for it and work with the right people to find the right property in the right location.

HMS Celtic

Smoke Cruiser

Strong AP
Scope
These ships were given to me by Wargaming for review. Welcome back. Sure, it does seem rather apt to jump into the first published review in sometime with the addition of two new Baltimores…well, one Oregon-City Cruiser, and another Baltimore. With both ships being so closely related, it seems fitting to tag them both together here. Per the norm, there will be lots of pretty charts, and a comprehensive breakdown of both ships; with the added benefit of showing exactly where these two wrap up into the bigger picture. All stats are current to the best of my knowledge as of v5.1. Stats are subject to change in the future, and this review may not reflect those changes. Celtic is a GREAT ship, with a MODERATE Skill Floor and a HIGH Skill Ceiling. Rochester is an AVERAGE ship, with a LOW Skill Floor and a MODERATE Skill Ceiling. Quite obviously, this review is going to be mostly centered on Celtic, with some Rochester slapped in there to show exactly how she stacks up to the competition. 2 for 1, or a freebie, you decide. Nothing could honestly make me happier than to be able to bring reviews and writing to you all full-time. If this interests you and you enjoy reading my work, please support me if you can, as every little bit helps. My goal is to keep my reviews free and public for all to read; and by supporting my Patreonyou can help keep me at my desk.

History
The design was first commissioned in the late 1930's, which adapted lessons learned from the preceding Wichita-Class and the currently under construction, lighter Cleveland Class. Baltimore's design featured an orthodox A-B-X configuration of 3 triple turrets of (8") 203mm guns. Fast and well-armed for the era, the fate of the project ended by cancelling later ships construction in favor of the Cleveland Class which were both faster, lighter, and quicker to build which meant more ships out at sea protecting US Navy Carriers. Baltimore Class Cruisers were built from 1941-1945 with some serving in various sub-classes until the 1970's. With 14 completed ships of the class, the Baltimore-Class had the most constructed heavy cruisers built of any one class from nation during the war-time period. Generally considered a success, the class was preceded by the USS Wichita, and succeeded by the Oregon-City Class. With attached sub-classes, the Boston Class featuring the world's first Guided Missile Cruiser in the early 1950's USS Boston (CAG-1) and Flagship variations. The design was most notable for incorporation of surveillance radar, gun control fire systems which allowed for calculation beyond the horizon, 5'' Anti-Air, and 8'' Main Battery. This design was focused in on the ships ability to be a Carrier Fleet Escort Ship, capable of both Anti-Air Screening, Shore Bombardment, eventually being modified to serve as the world's first guided missile cruiser. USS Baltimore (CA-68) herself was laid down in 1941, by Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation at the Fore River Shipyard in Quincy, Massachusetts. The ship was launched in 1942 and served until 1956 when she was decommissioned, and eventually scrapped in 1971. The ship served primarily in the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign, earning 9 battle stars. HMS Celtic is a made-up ship that never actually existed but rests on the concept that would have been if the Baltimore Class had been sent to the Royal Navy. This was not an entirely foreign concept of the era either, with the two allied nations cooperating heavily with some ships being used by the other’s navy. It would be this cooperation that ultimately played a decisive role in every major theatre of World War 2. USS Rochester (CA-124) was laid down in the same shipyard as her predecessor, in May 1944. She would be launched in August the following year, then commissioned into the US Navy in 1946. Succeeding the Baltimore Class, the Oregon City Class featured many similarities, with changes to her exhaust, superstructure and Anti-Air Suite. Rochester would serve throughout Korea and Vietnam, being decommissioned in the 1960s, and scrapped in the 1970s. 10 Oregon City Cruisers were planned, with only 4 completed.

A Baltimore with a Super Heal and longer-range radar? Sign me up. Baltimore on her own is already one of the stronger ships in the game and in terms of utility, one of the stronger team players. Celtic takes an interesting concept and adds a new flair to an older line. She has her own strengths and weaknesses, all of which will be identified, some of which are likely to be seemingly splitting the finest of hairs. This ship has a bit less of a grudge against controlling caps than the traditional Baltimore but should be readily found in the same niche doing the same things, just slightly different. Radar support, anti-destroyer, area control are all tags that apply. Celtic is strong, strong enough to be thrown in with the likes of AL Baltimore, Mainz CE and Wichita CE. Trashchester is tough. I’ll honestly do my best to not shred this ship into a bajillion pieces while pouring out the salt, but I’m only human. She was painful on release, and since she’s had work done, fitting for her review to be finally finished and published for you all to use as a dash of seasoning for dinner. On release, Rochester had a smoke fire concealment on par with her sister’s base concealment, meaning, her smoke was essentially pointless and served only to blind herself, and not her opponents. Lacking radar, Rochester presented as a clumsy self-blinding target unable to deal the things that engage her. What’s worse, Rochester trades her heal for her smoke, meaning, players are left purchasing a regular old Baltimore, with some fancy AA, or a deaf-mute without a heal. Yes. She was that painful; a concept that bumps in the worst of ways, both theoretically and in practice. While her concealment has been buffed, it’s still an awful kit as her smoke fire concealment is still too weak to present much of a force upon the caps. If we’re stuck to smoke firing spam, there are better ships than Rochester; even making good old Belfast 43 seem like a knight in shining armor. Both of these ships do sport improved AP performance, in the shape of improved ricochet angles. We’ll tear this apart in the ballistic section, as per the norm. Baltimore’s ballistic performance has been studied quite extensively in the past, which has set up an excellent point of comparison.
Offense
Celtic: GOOD
Rochester: AVERAGE
Let’s start with the prodigal child and then work towards the bought rented mule. Celtic does well here, in terms of heavy cruisers (203mm) she sits nearer the top of the lists dropping more midfield when included with the rest of the pack. Apart from some of those silly DPM small caliber ships, Celtic packs a noteworthy punch. Rochester starts more midfield and holds her placing through the pack. For a 203mm cruiser, a 2s difference in reload is often enough to bump a ship up or down a rank, entirely. This translates to roughly 20k between the two, and about a full salvo difference.

Celtic has among the better AP DPM values for a 203mm armed cruiser, only being outclassed by ships with meatier AP. In terms of overall, Celtic sits more midfield. Her overall AP ballistic performance allows her to unlock more of this actual number than many of her counterparts.

Overall, there’s not all that much to crow about here. Rochester sits a bit lower on the charts than Celtic due to reload. Both have improved ballistics to offer compensation for a lack of torpedoes. The DPM numbers are at their worst, workable, and at best, functional, neither being awful nor spectacular. Celtic takes the edge due to better numbers overall.
Ballistics
Rochester: GREAT
Celtic: GREAT
The tell-all ballistic chart. Royal Navy Cruisers and US Navy Cruisers sport among the best AP performance in their respective classes and tiers. Celtic has among the best HE DPM numbers of the Baltimores, but takes a hit on her fire chance percentage. Rochester SHAP hits like a truck, along with her Baltimore cousins. Things get interesting here the more you study this chart, captains. Celtic has arguably better HE, but worse AP. Rochester has SHAP and excellent AP performance, but poor shell count. AL Baltimore once again takes the cake with the best “happy medium” of the bunch, sporting a decent shell count, SHAP with excellent penetration and a lower muzzle velocity introducing slightly higher arcs yielding much more forgiving angles on the receiving end… What I can say definitively, is Baltimore SHAP has much greater penetration than the standard AP. Wichita leans on HE at range, and she has the numbers to back it up, Baltimore hardly ever shoots HE in practice which is backed up by her AP performance and penetration values. Captains, it would not be entirely erroneous in terms of gunnery to compare Stock Baltimore to Celtic and Wichita or Elite Baltimore to Rochester and AL Baltimore.

The major and palpable difference in performance here is between Celtic and the native Baltimores, is that Celtic lacks SHAP. This means Celtic’s AP shells weigh less, which translates to depleting velocity and thus penetration values faster than the Baltimores heavier shells. Fortunately, Baltimore has some of the best AP penetration in her class which means that Celtic can afford to lose some raw penetration value before she begins to suffer. Rochester wins the AP argument here, while Celtic takes the HE side. It’s almost literally splitting hairs, and Baltimore Mains will feel right at home in either ship.

If you’re looking to start fires, grab Albemarle. However, this is about the only such category she takes. Celtic manages better with access to a shorter reload and better overall ballistic properties. Shell by shell, edge Rochester, overall, solidly in Celtic’s favor by a full 9 shells.
Torpedoes
Torpedo-less
Neither of these ships sport torpedoes, so this section is predicably blank.
Defense
Celtic: GREAT
Rochester: AVERAGE
Let’s jump into the major category of defense. Celtic arguably may be one of the best, Rochester, rather mediocre. From the top. Celtic has among the best effective health pools, just edging out Edinburgh with a chunky 66k. It’s worth pointing out Albemarle tops both with a mighty 78k, though most Albemarle tend to be much more passive alluding to a different playstyle entirely. Baltimore is considered “tanky” at 56k, and Celtic adds in a super-heal. I wouldn’t chance to say Albemarle is particularly tanky, but she can heal quite well. A Baltimore is tanky enough to access that 66k EHP and is a scary thought. Baltimore can take a punch, where Edinburgh relies on defense by trickery, clever armor schemes and angling, Albemarle by range and angle. It’s also quite worth mentioning that Celtic rests with 36,7k base HP, meaning on par with most Cruiser Lights. Captains, you will feel getting hit in Celtic. Kit with 9.9km radar, sonar, a super heal, decent armor, excellent AA and workable concealment…captains, this is a literal no-brainer. Celtic is a slightly different twist off some of the most competitive ships in the game. Rochester is rather tanky like most of her preceding Baltimore cousins. She has the same armor scheme essentially, and similar HP/EHP values. While this would normally be good on its own, Rochester has an Achilles’ Heel. Rochester must choose between having smoke or having a heal, and outright lacks Radar. While she has defensive AA, this is mostly a living meme rather than consistently as effective in combat as Radar. As said before, in terms of smoke cruisers there are just better options some of which don’t involve sacrificing your heal, or even radar. This relegates Rochester to just being a rather average 203mm CA, with very slightly better AA and decent enough armor. The ranking seems a bit harsh, but that’s generally the difference between the hunter (Celtic), and the hunted (Rochester). Rochester initially will feel getting hit less, due to a larger health pool however, the table quickly swings in favor of Celtic, which gets most of it back.

Armor
Celtic: GOOD
Rochester: GOOD
This chart below sticks to the USN and RN CA/CLs for now... At some point, this chart will include overmatch and juicy other details for all the cruisers, but for now, it is simple enough to get the point across. Most Cruisers have their critical spaces directly abutting the hull, others don’t. Cruiser armor varies widely and is worth looking at because there are absolutely ships with specific advantages worth exploring and exploiting. For now, let’s keep it simple. As summarized before, the Baltimore Class has relatively good armor, while it has its weaknesses, is generally functional enough to get by. They are neither needlessly weighed down by their armor, nor under-armored. It’s worth saying Rochester and Celtic have vaguely the same armor lay out and will handle 380mm Battleships.

Anti-Air Suite
Rochester: BEST
Celtic: GREAT
Rochester takes the cake here, with better and larger AA guns she’s rather resistant to airborne pests. Celtic ties in with the close second, along with her sisters. The truly beautiful thing about either ship is that captains will not need to waste any energy into building this into making this sector a functional kit. Captains, you can save some defensive energy by focusing into Celtic’s Radar and by leaving Rochester in port. The magic number here is being north of that 350/s line, Azuma scrapes by with a bit of focus, where pretty much all the USN ships will laugh off aircraft. A major point of contention that is worth noting; Rochester is immune, Celtic is quite resistant to CVs, where Albemarle gets by here, and Edinburgh is rather hindered. I suspect this will be massively impactful for competitive players.

Rochester takes the cake here, because everyone deserves to be really good at something. However, with CVs it’s important to remember everything is relative.
Concealment
Rochester: GOOD
Celtic: GOOD
Technically these are the same values while stock, and their rating is the same. However, this is quite deceiving. Rochester is GOOD leaning on GREAT where Celtic is GOOD leaning on AVERAGE. The reason for this follows their available commanders, which Shelly Beapley offers a unique 4th row concealment skill unavailable to any other commander, or nation. The result of this, Rochester, like her cousins sits at a comfortable 9.3km, where Celtic sits at 9.9km. Rochester can do almost nothing with this concealment, as she lacks radar, and her smoke fire window is just a pale 1.7km below her surface concealment. However, that .6km is a palpable difference and can open huge strategic windows; particularly once south of that magic 10km line. The obvious connotation here is that hiding a radar cruiser inside 10km is far scarier than hiding a smoke cruiser inside 9.5, provocatively when that same smoke cruiser can be spotted inside her smoke at 7.6km. Captains, this 7.6km is on par with her sisters, however, this is a very narrow margin even for a support cruiser. Smoke is infinitely easier to use than radar, however, infinitely less forgiving.

Maneuverability
Celtic: GOOD
Rochester: WEAK
Celtic sits almost smack dab of the upper midfield pack of heavy cruisers where Rochester sits more towards the end of the pack. Rochester feels clunky and handles like it, where Celtic feels more “native” to her respective class sharing the same stats. While this is rated good overall, its more average in the face of Lighter Cruisers, representing more of a bang-for-the-buck scenario.

Commanders
Celtic: Celtic essentially has one commander that is head and shoulders ahead of the rest, while the rest kind of just work. HotRod offers the best fit here inarguably, along with Radar Edinburgh and Radar Minotaur. This sets Celtic up to be a near par build with the USN CA Queen Shelly Beapley. While her 4th row skill’s absence here is certainly felt and results in a 9.9km concealment, the build is largely similar and works well for any radar focused cruiser. While there are other builds out there, this is the gem of the lot and helps unlock that sacred mantra of utility that surrounds the Baltimore Class. Inspirations should focus on concealment, Mikawa and Swirski, to bring Celtic’s detection to pair with her Radar. HotRod
Rochester: Nothing can be easy with Rochester, and naturally, building her was to the same effect. Essentially there are two trains of thought for this ship, build into dispersion or build into utility. AL Montpelier seemed to mesh the best, which then turns Rochester into a little flamethrower capable of merging all her shells into a single pixel. However, this build is rather finicky to use and has a fair number of weaknesses. The build heavily relies on team spotting and is itself a second-line cruiser. Something like a 19-20% fire chance and a nasty dispersion circle. Rochester already has excellent gunnery performance as discussed; Montpelier really sharpens the sword. Pair with AL Scharnhorst and Scott to reduce dispersion and sigma, respectively, even further. AL Montpelier
It's a rare day when Shelly gets sat down in favor of another commander in the USN CA tree, but I kept falling into the same pitfalls using the same build for similar ships often being able to use radar. Shelly will help bring out Rochester’s utility, but she’s arguably not as well fit in on Rochester as AL Montpelier is. Pair Beapley with concealment inspirations from Mikawa and Swirski and enjoy a very beautiful 9.3km concealment. Rochester has SHAP and excellent penetration values, meaning she can readily ambush and critically strike ships quite larger than her, all without torpedoes. Shelly Beapley
Sonar: 3km Torp, 4.2km Ship detection. Lasts around 98s when kit with Hot Rod and reloads in 132.
Radar: 9.9km range and lasts about 28s when built.
Heal: 733/s over 20s. Yep, that’s over 14k HP. Reloads in less than a minute too.
Celtic has a near ideal consumable suite. There are some differences off the mainstream, such as slightly less sonar range or shorter radar duration. Glossing over the minor differences, the bigger picture reveals something better. Built, Celtic can regenerate a LOT of health. Rochester:
Defensive AA: +200% average AA damage. This is memes, it's sort of like a bug zapper for planes.
Sonar: Standard 3.3km/4.4km detection over 96s. The average sonar found on everything.
Smoke/Heal: 30s duration, 104s dissipation time for the smoke. 251/s over 28s for the heal.
Rochester is rather standard in her access to her consumables, with the killer choice between smoke or a heal. I’ve gone back and forth, generally landing on the heal. Rochester is essentially a decent cruiser hampered by her rather average consumable suite.
Modifications
Aiming Systems Mod 1: -7% Dispersion
Steering Gears Mod 2: -20% Rudder Shift
Concealment Mod 1: -10% Detectability
Main Battery Mod 3: -15% Gun Reload
Ok, so the modifications section is super easy because both ships share the same builds. Aiming Systems mod 1 for the dispersion, player’s choice on slot 2 with either propulsion mod 2 or steering gears mod 2. Concealment Mod 1 for slot 3 and finishing off slot 4 by increasing DPM with main battery mod 3.
Upgrades
Both Celtic and Rochester are premium ships without any researchable upgrades.
Research
Neither of these ships are currently used in Research Projects. Look out though, one of those random reward or anniversary projects in the future might literally scream having one of these two tucked inside.
Summary
Celtic: GREAT
Rochester: AVERAGE
Celtic is a joy. Rochester is work. I can see Celtic becoming a popular contestant in competitive play with the access to that 9.9km radar and her super heal. I rather lamented her HE performance, more due to her lower fire chance then her DPM or ballistic performance. While it would be nice to see her have ¼ pen HE, she doesn’t need it. I find her nicely balanced and well measured to take on Tier 7. She is just unique enough to warrant her own review, whilst similar enough to stay nearer the beaten path. While she may not comfortably and outright usurp Wichita CE and AL Baltimore from their spots, she’s worth mentioning with the group. That’s saying something. Rochester, well, let’s just say that not everyone can be the best. This ship is tough but can be rewarding in a sense of overcoming the demands of a challenging ships. My issue with Rochester is 2-fold, her smoke and her heal. She ideally needs both to function in this current meta, and running the ship’s gimmick leaves her with abysmal EHP in a plummet from pretty good to 3rd worst overall, which only trumps Harbin and Bayard while being out-healed by Weimar. With a smoke-fire penalty in the mid 7’s km, smoke is hard to use effectively that is not relegated to back line, HE spam. As said before, if we’re really going to be stuck to this, there are ships which do this better. While I love the perspective of a USN CA without radar just to offer something more unique, a USN CA without Radar is like a cart without a horse. Hilariously enough, Rochester seems to avoid CV games like the actual plague, so I suppose that’s one strong point. Otherwise, and largely, captains are left with a rather average 203mm CA.

Guest contribution of Dr. #Bernd-#Jürgen #Stein as "Statement to the #structural #realistic considerations in physics" The guest article published here is by Dr. Bernd-Jürgen Stein, a physicist who does not work in the science business, but works independently as a consultant. In this article, however, he has used his "consulting activity" in a different way and has written a "statement on structural realist considerations in physics", which partly refers to the #Zoomposium interview "Conscious structures or structures for consciousness?" with the well-known German representative of structural realism Prof. Dr. #Holger #Lyre.

2023.03.29 11:36 OnforuLEDHow to Choose Office Lighting Fixtures?
https://preview.redd.it/dj2vf6rgdnqa1.jpg?width=920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69ddc4d4a7d5cdade6717552de976f65957aaa09 The comfort of the office environment has been greatly associated with the efficiency and quality of work and even the health of workers. The office light environment is actually one of the factors that affect the comfort of the office environment. Reasonable lighting can not only meet the needs of office lighting but also improve the enthusiasm of employees, so as to better serve the work. In the past, office lighting is mostly functional lighting, often choose to use incandescent lamps to complete the lighting work, but in the long run, this high illumination of the light will gradually affect the work status and efficiency of employees. The modern office building's interior space is generally composed of office space, public space, service space, and other ancillary facilities and other parts, different work scenes have different needs for light.
What conditions does office lighting need to meet?
1. Color Temperature
https://preview.redd.it/4vbjyu7vdnqa1.png?width=1678&format=png&auto=webp&s=571144873091b6e6c17f47b9539e6d687bdc7f4e Color temperature, generally expressed by the value K, the lower the color is warmer, red; conversely, the higher the colder, blue, there are generally warm light, neutral light, and cold light three points. In the past, many companies in order to pursue the overall warmth of the office will choose to use such as incandescent lamps, decorative chandeliers, and other warm light sources, to create a warm and comfortable office atmosphere. But in excessively warm light, it is easier to relax the mind and produce the intention of sleepiness, resulting in the inability to concentrate on work. So office spaces as people's daily production and work in one of the most frequently used places, it is recommended that the main lighting color temperature is between 3500K ~ 4500K more appropriate, at this time, neutral light or cool light refreshing will make people more focused in the office.
Color rendering index refers to the object irradiated with the light source and standard light source irradiation, its color meets the degree of measurement, that is, the degree of color fidelity. Generally speaking, the higher the color rendering index, the better the color rendering. Conversely, the lower the value of the color rendering index, the worse the color rendering performance.
3. The Lighting Methods
https://preview.redd.it/v4jpyyebenqa1.jpg?width=920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ae4b61586e00ab9676c2447c99cdc33bcc2f2df Office space is commonly used lighting is direct lighting and indirect lighting. Generally speaking, today's offices are divided into large space office and independent office two. Large space office is currently the largest proportion of office space in the region, only to provide uniform general lighting, lighting should be uniform, and comfort, usually using a uniform spacing of the layout of the lamps and lanterns method, and combining with the ground functional area using the corresponding lamps and lanterns lighting. In a large space office, you can choose to use some surface light fixtures, so that the brightness of the light is high and not too harsh, and the irradiation range is also relatively uniform. Independent office areas use general lighting and local lighting more and need to pay more attention to the brightness than the problem, for independent office areas, in order to meet the basic lighting work, but also combined with office decoration style to add some ambient lighting, and show corporate culture.
4. Illumination
https://preview.redd.it/75anssfcenqa1.jpg?width=920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=438086a102988e99d749a7f10aa659bd05a03304 Illuminance refers to the degree to which the object is illuminated, office illuminance refers to the office lighting brightness. High illumination low color temperature space will feel very hot, while low illumination high color temperature space will produce a gloomy and tired mood. In the high color temperature but low illumination in the office environment, people tend to feel gloomy and tired, reducing work efficiency. Usually, the illumination of the office area is at least not less than 300lux. general space illumination brightness of not less than 100lux, local lighting brightness of not less than 600lux.
Conclusion
With the development of the times and the progress of technology, people's demand for a better life is rising, office lighting is gradually gaining attention, it is not only a place to work, but also become an external social, colleague relations, corporate culture and self-recognition of the resource gathering place. Therefore, in the office lighting design for enterprises, you can first from the visual comfort, interior decoration, and other aspects of demand, synchronized consideration of corporate culture, work style, and another environmental atmosphere, in order to meet the basic lighting in the office area at the same time, is committed to high quality, healthy light efficiency to help employees efficient office, to inspire employees to work with a positive attitude to create, to create a good office culture atmosphere. Onforu's most popular office lighting, browse the led floodlight and strip light pages to shop, now is the best time to get the best deal. More Resources
Hi y'all I'm kinda new to this whole reddit thing but it's anonymous so this is where I'll post this. And if this isn't allowed then feel free to delete. So I'm a 24 year old male and I live in a small town in Illinois. I currently still live with my parents. Yes I have a job. I also pay them $350 a month in rent. I pay for my own groceries, gas, car insurance, and even pay for the streaming services that we all use. But that stuff isn't important to this story/question. So for those of you who live in Illinois or know someone living in Illinois chances are you know that this state sucks. Taxes are high, the roads are almost always in rough shape, winter time sucks, housing is expensive. And the job market is just always lousy pickings. It's all either fast food, farming or factory work. I don't really know what I want to do with my life but I do know that I don't want to spend it all living here in Illinois. There are so many times where I've just wanted to get in my car and just start driving south and see where the road takes me. I plan to someday move somewhere warm, somewhere I'm not completely miserable. My question is is there anyone here who has just up and moved? Was it worth it? Where would you recommend moving too? And how much did it cost you to do so?

With diverse channels of communication, customers are available across numerous channels like WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Viber, and more, which makes it difficult for businesses to reach them in time. In order to run a business successfully, it is essential that communication with the customers must be prompt, because a delay in communication may result in losing out on potential customers. Customers expect these responses available 24/7 and prefer to have them in their modern social channel of their choice. This may sound easy but it is very challenging if not impossible to be available across every channel. Integrating an AI customer support bot, it becomes incredibly useful in supporting businesses with good customer affiliations. Integrating AI customer service bots into businesses can increase customer engagement and improve the customer experience, which can enhance efficiency and result in cost savings. But how? The key advantages of how chatbots can revolutionise business communication are:
Around the clock availability of assistance and customer support.
Automates routine tasks that include scheduling, setting reminders, and personalising notifications.
Reduce staffing costs as chatbots are cheaper than human customer service representatives.
Handles multiple queries and conversations without the need for additional human assistance at the same time.
Provides personalised assistance based on the user's preferences and history.
Even during the non-working hours of the business, these bots promptly respond to all the customers by handling inquiries that can provide customised customer service as per their needs and wants. Additionally, AI chatbots can provide businesses with valuable insights into customer preferences and behaviours, allowing them to make informed decisions. One of the most significant advantages of AI chatbots in business is their ability to provide personalised and tailored assistance to customers based on their needs and wants, as these AI based chatbots are also encoded to respond in multiple languages. Chatbots can use customer data and previous interactions to offer customised recommendations and solutions. Furthermore, AI chatbots use natural language to understand and interpret customer inquiries, responding in a conversational and personalised manner. In addition to offering personalised assistance, AI chatbots can also handle a wide range of customer inquiries simultaneously, freeing up human customer support agents to focus on more complex issues that require human intervention. Overall, with the integration of iNextLabs AI chatbots, it can provide a competitive edge for businesses, enabling them to remain ahead of competitors and drive growth, and the brands can be in a better position in terms of lead generation, customer perceptions, onboarding, and customer support expansion.
it was friday and i had nothing to do so i went around town to try to find anything to entertain myself. until i had found in the community hall type of buildinga flyer on their baord that stated "fire watch needed from ages 16 to 50+ at (anonymous forest for privacy)" i took a little card with the number on them and hurried home to tell my parents about it. they were extatic for me because the pay was also alot judging the amount of days i had to work. the first day of work i was told to meet at a little house where they would give me a "tutorial". i was also told that if i recieved calls from hikers that talked about a "goat man" to just igonre it because there was always a group of teenagers trying to start rumours, but if a hiker calls and says hes lost i have to turn on the set of head lights to lead the hiker torwards me, but if he was in serious trouble i could find a page in the manual about how to deal with the ciertan situation. i couldnt have the headlights on for too because of budget problems. as soon as i made it to the tower i was met with a big plastic box with M R E type of food. now that i got that out of the way let me start with the story, they let me have my phone for obvious reasons so i had access to what time it was at all times, most of the time i just stayed in the bed they prepared with my phone on low volume so if i hear anything the sound of the cellphone wouldnt bother the sound of a phone call because the station phone that was used for long distance and had a low ringtone. as soon as the time was 00:00 my parents called me on my cellphone, they sounded very excited and we talked for about 30 minutes before hanging up, as soon as i hung up a shiver went down my spine as i heared the akwardness of the silence i was greeted with. i was gonna think about taking a nap on the bed but as soon as i did.. the phone rang, i answered at 01:23 to a very distressed man as is sounded like he was in a hurry, he told me:"yes hello!? i think im being chased by a bear!" i said "tell me your location and maybe i can direct you torwards me" he said with a more distressed tone now "theres alot of rocks around the trail and uh-" i interupted the man to tell him to lower his tone and calm down "right yeah sorry, uuh theres rocks around the trail and i think i see a climbing wall" i looked at the map and saw the man was rather close to my tower so i turned on the headlights that were directed at the direction of him and asked him if he saw them, he said" yeah i see them but thats the direction the bear was from.. it was like he was trying to lead me from the tower". i flipped the manual and and found the answer i told the man:"ok sir there should be a small gun in the lodge where you get the climbing gear, can you see the lodge" the man with a slightly more happy tone" oh yeah! thanks" he found the gun and made his way as quietly as he could to the tower, but suddenly.. the head lights went out, i heared him say "oh fuuuck" and out of no where i heared him on the call running for his life "ITS NOT A BEAR ITS NOT A BEAR HELP" after he said that i heard two gunshots from the outside of the tower, i told the man" hello sir!? are you there!?" then i heard a loud staticy sound from the phone before it hung up.i knew it was after me next so i ran with the heaviest thing i could find to block the stairway and bairricated the door, i sat in the corner of the room with a rifle and ammunition that was prepared for me. i sat there for 5 whole minutes until i heared scratching on the bottom of tower, for the record this tower was made from thin rusty bars so it was pretty easy to hear if anything was scratching at the bottom of the tower i stayed ther until daytime. i quit immediatley and swore to never go there again.
