Also, I have food, jewelry, and insect bite sensitivities that react different on the left side of my body, verses on the right side of my body. Some other physical traits I have, that are only on the left side of my body are a double tooth, and everything is slitty bigger on the left side of my body, verse the right side. It’s always visible on my torso, but it can become more or less prominent when my body temperature changes. I’ve been told the second color pigmentation is my twin sisters’ genetic makeup. I was born with a physical trait that causes me to have two different colors of skin pigmentation that split down the center of my torso, front and back, but only on the left side of my body. Chimerism can be difficult to detect with or without a physical trait, but easier with one, than without. Not all chimeras will have an outward physical trait, and you can still be a Chimera not having one. I feel the most interesting aspect of my condition is my physical trait. Because of that, it compromises my immune system making it lower than the average person causing me many autoimmune health issues. Also, I have sensitivities to foods, medications, supplements, jewelry, insect bites etc. This doesn’t mean all Chimeras will or do have health, autoimmune issues or sensitivities. With my particular case of Chimerism, my doctors believe my body reacts to my twins’ DNA and cells as foreign matter. I’ve been told I have two sets of genetic makeup, two sets of immune and blood cells, along with other unusual physical attributes. Due to the fusion, I carry my twins genetic makeup within my own body. Through chromosome testing it was determined I was a girl/girl twin. I’m a fraternal twin who fused together in the womb with my sister. I can say, I Am My Own Twin or I’m a Human Chimera. The term chimera has been borrowed from Greek mythology and has a long history of use in biology and genetics. If human chimeras are more common than hitherto thought there could be many. I was born a human Chimera which is a rare genetic condition, called Chimerism. To date there are no examples in humans of twin chimeras involving germ cells. One genetic expert told BuzzFeed that deliberately testing for chimerism is very difficult, and that there's no real need to do those tests in healthy people.The name Chimera originates from Greek Mythology The definition of Chimera is. Since twin loss occurs in an estimated 21 to 30% of multiple-fetus pregnancies, it's possible that many people are chimeras, but may never find out. Doctors said her extra DNA most likely came from a fraternal twin - and in 2002 her story became a report in the New England Journal of Medicine. Tests said she wasn't the biological mother of her children, but it turned out that the DNA in her blood was different than the DNA in her ovaries. Genetic experts believed he was a human chimera, and he had absorbed some of his DNA from a fraternal twin's embryo, BuzzFeed reported.Ī woman named Karen Keegan wound up in a similar situation. In 2015, a man from Washington took a cheek swab paternity test that said he was technically his son's uncle, not his father. Further testing revealed that the man had different DNA in his saliva and his sperm. Blood and blood-forming tissue is exchanged, and takes up residence in the bone marrow. This happens when fraternal twins share some portion of the same placenta. The most common form of human chimera is called a blood chimera.

Carriers would mostly stay out of the way, protected by an escort and fighters would get in close to take out important targets (like cannons/turrets). Additionally, in real life, fleets would move in formation. Game mechanically, in a 2D space where everything shoots with pinpoint precision (depending on spread), it doesnt. Granted in universe, if it was realistic, actual people would be aiming weapons and it wouldnt be guaranteed that they would hit smaller ships zipping about in a 3D space, in a vast space like ~space~ itself that's also tenebrously black. TL DR: the republic carrier would be more effective if you replaced the fighter and drone bays with outfit space. Fighters have some niche uses, but as is, they simply aren't effective enough to justify being carried by the republic's premier capital ship. IMO, the republic fleet would make a lot more sense if the Carrier was a smaller dedicated fighter-tender like the nest, while the premier capital ship spot was taken by a Republic Battleship of some sort. Battleships would be exactly what you want against any of those foes. They also know about the hai, and they presumably also know about the unfettered and korath raiders. That said, pirate bactrians exist, and they can just about go toe to toe with a cruiser. That has some justification (a cruiser can kick the shit out of most pirate fleets, and at first glace, the republic doesn't have many peer competitors to worry about). The only in-universe explanation I can think of is that they think the cruiser is enough brute force for any scenario they can think of, and so they don't need a battleship. Given that there are plenty of hyperdrive-equipped smaller ships that can do the same job, I don't think it makes much sense that the republic chose to make carriers their premier capital ship. Overall, this hypothetical republic battleship would be better in basically any straight fight, while the carrier is only more useful for running down smaller stuff using its fighters. And frankly, in the current game, that republic battleship would beat the pants off of a carrier 9 times out of 10. So yeah, if the hypothetical republic battleship was a carrier that replaced the carrier equipment with outfit space, it would have nearly 2000 tons of outfit space to play with. Overall, the republic carrier is presumably spending at least 1100 tons of "outfit space" on its carrier equipment. I'm pretty sure a more reasonable number would be several times that, but that would run into issues given that the base mass of a carrier is only 910 tons, and much of that is presumably spent on non-carrier-specific equipment. I'm pretty sure 160 tons of equipment (which could again be converted to outfit space) is a very conservative estimate here. And then deploying fighters also requires carrier-borne equipment for refueling, rearming, and repairing those fighters, along with crew accomodations for the pilots. If we figure combat drones and lances, that's 940 tons of extra "outfit space". Let's call this new ship the Republic Battleship.įirst of all, it can fight with a full complement of fighters and drones aboard and those fighters and drones are apparently fully protected by the carrier's armor and shields, so the spaces where fighters and drones are stored could presumably be used as outfit space if it wasn't a carrier. Why does the republic use carriers? Like, imagine if the republic replaced the fighter and drone bays on the carrier with weapons emplacements/power cells/etc (read: outfit space). Generally, Opus One is a better investment for collectors who want to resell their collections on the secondary market, as these wines are more sought after and increase significantly in value over time. Sassicaia is the most famous Bordeaux blend in Italy and has spawned many imitations, whereby the blend is now firmly established in the New World and particularly in California and Australia. Price is another factor to consider when comparing Opus One vs. The wine was called napamedoc until 1982 when it was named Opus One. 389.98 Price is per botAdd to cart You are saving 1 on every bottle. In St-Emilion and Pomerol, the blends are Merlot dominated as Cabernet Sauvignon can struggle to ripen there - when it is included, it adds structure and body to the wine. Opus One Winery is a winery in Oakville, California, United States. However 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wines can be slightly hollow-tasting in the middle palate and Merlot with its generous, fleshy fruit flavours acts as a perfect foil by filling in this cavity. Opus One is the realized dream of two men: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi. It is particularly suited to the dry, warm, free- draining, gravel-rich soils and is responsible for the redolent cassis characteristics as well as the depth of colour, tannic structure and pronounced acidity of Médoc wines. In the Médoc and Graves the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend can range from 95% ( Mouton-Rothschild) to as low as 40%. This is actually the archetypal Bordeaux blend, though in different proportions in the sub-regions and sometimes topped up with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. Cabernet Sauvignon lends itself particularly well in blends with Merlot. For a while it was the most expensive Californian wine, and to date still ranks among the most expensive red wines produced in the Napa Valley, with the 2014.

Of course many others won’t want the hassles that come along with setting up, maintaining and running multiple blogs and so Squidoo is an attractive option for them. Of course at Squidoo I have to share my profits with your good self in return for your services whereas in blogging I just share it with my good wife. I’ve talked here at ProBlogger a few times about each post being like a small investment in the bank that has the potential to bring returns over time and I think the principle applies over at Squidoo. So in the short term the ROI is small, but extend it out for a year or two it’s not bad. The cool thing though, as with blogging, is that the post/lens has the potential to go on earning indefininately. No one will get rich from one lens any more than anyone will get rich from one blog post. After my initial surprise that’s what I came back to for me. 10 or so minutes for $10 isn’t bad money. What have your experiences been with Squidoo? My initial concerns over it’s poor SEO tactics still remain (although they’ve made a few changes including removing the word ‘Lenses’ from the lens title tags as I suggested) and I do see a bit of spammy stuff going on there, but overall I guess I have to say based on my own experience that the jury is still out somewhat. I would critique a blog with one post by telling the blogger to add more content – it would be unfair to judge Squidoo based upon my 5 lenses.

Support LVM (Logical Volume Management).ĭisk management: Check and repair bad sectors, clone & image disk, wipe disk, convert GPT/MBR, convert dynamic disk to basic, etc.ĭata recovery: Recover deleted or lost data from ext4 partition, restore lost Linux partition.ĭata backup: back up an ext4 partition to an image file, supporting incremental backup. Partition management: Create, delete, format, resize, clone, image, hide Linux-formatted partition. Main features related to Ext4/3/2 drive provided by DiskGenius: Just connect your hard drive with Linux partitions to computer and launch DiskGenius and you can easily access and manage ext4 partitions in Windows 11/10/8/7/XP. DiskGenius Professional Edition is an efficient tool which enables full access to Linux Ext4, Ext3 or Ext2 storage devices under Windows operating system. Since Windows system does not support reading or writing any Linux partition, we need to use third-party Linux reader software to access Linux drives from Windows. However, it is not supported by Windows system, thus Ext4 partition is not visible under Windows system. It is best suited for hard drives, but it can also be used on removable disks. NTFS is primarily used on hard drives and external hard drive even though USB media can still be formatted to NTFS.ĮXT4, the accessor to Ext3, is the most used filesystem type on Linux system for the moment. This feature is capable of detecting errors and restoring from them. It has complicated structure and can be regarded as a journaling file system, as it retains records of all operations on the device. NTFS (New Technology File System) is the default file system of hard drives used under Windows system since Windows XP. Ext4 is the default file system in most modern Linux distributions In Ext4, you are allowed to disable the journaling feature. Ext4 works similarly to Ext3, but it becomes able to store large files much more efficiently than ext3 due to the extend based layout. It is a progressive revision of Ext3 file system and overcomes limitations on Ext3. However, it does not work effectively when dealing with large files especially when carrying out deletion task, for the mapping retains an entry for each single block and large file usually has many blocks.Įxt4 was available in 2008 with Linux kernel 2.6.1.19. It uses indirect block mapping scheme, which makes it efficient to manage small files. Ext3 file system was designed with the ability to journal write to the files system, which allows quite fast crash recovery time. Ext3 can be converted to Ext3 directly without backup / restore. EXT4 is current the default file system of Linux and it improves performance and reliability and adds additional features over EXT3.Įxt3 became available since the year 2001 together with Linux Kernel 2.4.15 and it is a logical extension of Ext2. EXT2 (the second extended version) was improved based on the original version, and EXT3 improves performance over EXT2. EXT means Extended Filesystem and it was mainly introduced for MINIX. Windows and Linux use different file system formats, and the most widely used file system in Linux is EXT4, EXT3 and EXT2. The rest part of the instruction is going to explain how to create, format, delete, write, resize and recover EXT4 partition from Windows 11/10/8/7.įile system is the way how files are stored and organized on storage device. It would be better if we can read and write Linux EXT4/3/2 partition from Windows. In this case, we'll have to reboot computer to Linux and access desired data. Sometimes we may need to access data of Linux partition from Windows, but Windows does not support Linux file system. Linux system is able to access Windows partition, but Windows cannot access Linux partitions. Partitions used in Windows are formatted as FAT32 or NTFS, while they are formatted as EXT4, EXT3 or EXT2 in Linux. If your computer is dual-boot with Linux and Windows, you are probably very clear that default file systems used in Windows and Linux are different.
I am not new to games, I started playing D&D in 1979 and video games shortly thereafter, but how someone felt this kind of control would be acceptable for anyone in 2021 escapes me. For example, when you fight, and this game is only about fighting, there is no role-playing, some monster will be ready to throw something at you but you won't know it, because unlike in any game of the last 25 years you can't really turn your head one way and move one way. It's a lot like "Neverwinter Nights" in its structure but the gameplay is comparatively terrible. Salvatore's involvement was heavily publicized but it must have only been in broad plot points.Īfter the interstitials is when it really gets messy - you have to play. It's not compelling and I write for a living so I am all about finding a story even when there is none. Salvatore it's in there but in the game I just pick drow Drizzt Do'urden and then am supposed to go find his Companions of the Hall. The story is.I don't know what the story is, there is some shard to rule them all and you have to go get it. And this game has nothing in common with those older Dark Alliance games except the name. Noticeably absent is any charm. Because there have been about a dozen different "Punisher" iterations, from Netflix to Dolph Lungren, none of them are obligated to acknowledge the existence of the others. The reboot, "Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance" has none of that fun. The load screen is the high point of this game. It still happens but both "Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance" (2001) and "Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II" (2004), while indifferent when it came to the actual story, were a blast playing with other people in the room on the same Playstation. Remember when people played games together? On a couch? Before they were born I had time because my wife and I would devote whole weekends to binge-watching "24" (before streaming services, there was the outstanding Replay DVR, and it even let you skip commercials) or playing a game together. Right now, for example, I have time, my kids are older, so "Frostpunk" and "The Division" will be locked into their high school years. For details on gameplay, check out our hands-on preview.I can know when I played a game based on whether or not I had time to play the game. The game is priced at $39.99, and will offer a deluxe version with access to the first bit of downloadable content for $59.99. It all depends on the success of Dark Alliance, and what the community wants from the game going forward.ĭark Alliance will be released June 22 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Do we fully realize these environments, these monsters, and make it as immersive as possible? We put the foot on the gas on that front.”Ĭouch co-op play could come at a later date, Hattem said, along with many other features - new missions, new locations, new characters, and new gear sets, for example. We wanted to bring that to life, and that’s partially why we got we got ahead of ourselves and why local co-op is not in the build at launch. “Icewind Dale, particularly, is a very harsh environment. “All the environments are very unique looking, and we wanted to bring the Forgotten Realms to life,” Jeff Hattem said. That didn’t leave a lot of time for the couch co-op mode that was originally announced.ĭark Alliance is a D&D-themed brawler that feels a bit like Gears of War Speaking with Polygon during a hands-on preview, the game’s creative director said the development team spent a lot of time and energy on refining its gameplay, but also on the game’s assets. But the classic Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance titles were top-down 3D games the new Dark Alliance is in third-person. The 2001 game and its 2004 sequel were beloved for their hack-and-slash action, impressive visuals, and two-player local co-op. The original Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance was an instant hit, thanks to its enjoyable real-time riff on Dungeons & Dragons’ then-new 3rd edition rules. While developer Tuque Games tells Polygon that the new Dark Alliance has been built from the ground up for online multiplayer, local co-op won’t be an option when the game launches. Salvatore’s Drizzt Do’Urden and the original Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance games let out a collective gasp in 2019 when Wizards of the Coast announced Dark Alliance, a reboot of the action role-playing series. |
