Old version of google picasa for mac1/30/2024 ![]() I knew it was time to delete the 32-bit apps and move on, done while humming Bye Bye, Picasa to the tune of American Pie (my singing is worse).īut WAIT there's good news. Another choice was remind me in a day, so I choose that one.Īt the start of March, months into 2020, it was time to Just Do It. Especially after an Apple Support Rep cautioned that the update eventually could just happen. Others suggested holding off until the kinks were "smoothed out." That was my out - I'd hold off until 2020.Īnd I did, even when 32-bit warnings were replaced by daily pop-ups that updates are ready to install. ( Many experts recommended deleting 32-bit apps then updating. But, once the OS was updated, they wouldn't, even if still on the hard drive. My desktop was running the previous Mojave OS, which allowed 32 and 64-bit applications to work - Picasa and other 32-bit apps still worked. Picasa was super easy for quick photo edits and collages posted on this blog.įorward to late 2019, when my Mac desktop sent notices that 32-bit apps would no longer be supported with Apple's upgraded Catalina OS (operating system) update only 64-bit applications would run under it. which was used years ago in a college course. True, it was much simpler then learning Adobe Photoshop®. ![]() I've used it sparingly, and shamefully never learned its capabilities. ![]() Two years ago it was at version 15, now at 19. That said, I continued using Picasa even after purchasing Adobe ® Photoshop Elements. Many should be deleted and most likely will be soon. After a recent check, my photos are there. Google let former Picasa users view their Picasa web albums online at Google Photos. However, Picasa would continue to function on desktops where it was already installed as it did on mine. My excuse for delaying was familiarity breeds reluctance despite the fact that Google ended support for Picasa in mid-March 2016 adding that there would be no further developments or updates (there were none ). This is a long post on free photo editing alternatives that offer more user features and as mentioned are also FREE. But, when my desktop MAC was updated to the latest OS (operating system) it was way past time to part ways. Yes, I'm rather very late in ditching the Picasa photo editing software from my desktop PC.

Quaqua animal1/30/2024 ![]() ![]() “After dispatch had called back, then he left the residence. He threatened to physically assault the female party and when she told him she was gonna call 911, he grabbed the phone away from her,” Gebers said. “The female told him to leave and he refused to do so. Dispatch was able to call back and get a hold of a female party who had attempted to call 911 after Bill showed up at her residence and forced his way in,” Gebers said, adding the two knew each other. “Dispatch received a 911 call, which was disconnected. Quaqua was arrested on suspicion of criminal trespass after notice, simple assault domestic, interference with emergency communication, and possession of a suspended driver’s license, she added. Saturday and officers were dispatched to the 600 block of Heritage Drive for “a male party who entered a residence and was refusing to leave,” Gebers said. The second incident was reported at 8:50 p.m. “Alcohol appears to be a factor in this case,” she added. She was determined to be the predominant aggressor and was placed under arrest for simple assault domestic and transported to the Brookings County Detention Center,” Gebers said. “Kaylen reportedly threw a coffee pot at that male individual and used her hand to push the male victim by the neck. “Through the course of the investigation, officers found that there had been a verbal argument between Kaylen and a male party at that residence,” Gebers said. Friday and officers were dispatched to the 200 block of Third Avenue South, she said.īahls was arrested on suspicion of simple assault domestic, Gebers said. The first incident was reported at 11:10 p.m. Kyle Miller, 22, of Brookings Kaylen Bahls, 25, of Brookings, and Bill Quaqua, 34, of Sioux Falls were arrested, Lt. Though it may seem silly, our list of animal sounds in different languages reveals something quite interesting: Despite their many differences, it’s not unusual to find common features in various languages even those across the globe from one another.Updated: 2 years ago / Posted Oct 28, 2020īROOKINGS – Two men and one woman were arrested in separate alleged domestic violence incidents over the weekend, according to Brookings Police. Our favorite is the Japanese sheep-it sounds so unimpressed!Īnimal sounds: A world of differences-and similarities There are some differences between each of the sheep sounds we’ve listed, but they have a common thread: They all start with either an “m” or a “b,” and contain “a” or “e” vowel sounds. Sometimes spelled with a “c,” sometimes with a “k” and even with an occasional “q,” all the sounds below are multisyllabic and have a distinct rooster feel. Judging from the list below, it looks like pigs would have to overcome major language barriers if they visited different countries-none of these sounds have much in common!Īpparently, roosters have a pretty unmistakable sound it’s very similar in a lot of languages. You can see that all of the mouse sounds below convey that teeny-tiny sound the little rodents make, yet they’re all quite different. Just look at all the interpretations below! However, there seems to be a lot of disagreement about what that sound is. We can probably all agree that most horses make pretty much the same sound despite their breed. ![]() However, for the most part, it appears as though frogs croak quite differently from country to country! There are a few similar features in some of the frog sounds below, such as “c,” “k” and “r” sounds. Even the Spanish cua-cua sounds pretty close to quack-quack. While some of the duck sounds below are different, you’ll notice some similarities too: Just look at German and Italian, for instance. A tiny lap dog would make a different sound than a herding dog, for example.Ī study even found that around the world, there are at least 40 interpretations of a dog’s bark! 4. Maybe it depends on the breeds or sizes of the dogs that are most common in each country. Unlike cats, dogs around the world make very different sounds. A common theme here is the use of either “m” or “b” followed by an “oo” sound. Here’s yet another animal with a sound distinct enough that many languages use the same-or very similar-sounds. In fact, the only language below that has a completely different cat sound is Korean. As you’ll see below, although the spelling differs, the sounds they make in most languages are surprisingly similar.

Vector unit calculator1/30/2024 ![]() How do We Find the Reference Angle without a Calculator? ![]() ![]() As for the sign, remember that Sine is positive in the 1st and 2nd quadrant and Cosine is positive in the 1st and 4th quadrant. Once we know their sine, cosine, and tangent values, we also know the values for any angle whose reference angle is also 45° or 60°. This is useful for common angles like 45° and 60° that we will encounter over and over again. The sign may not be the same, but the value always will be. The reference angle always has the same trig function values as the original angle. Notice how the second ray is always on the x-axis. Here’s an animation that shows a reference angle for four different angles, each of which is in a different quadrant. It’s always the smaller of the two angles, will always be less than or equal to 90°, and it will always be positive. This second angle is the reference angle. If we draw it to the left, we’ll have drawn an angle that measures 36°. If we draw it from the origin to the right side, we’ll have drawn an angle that measures 144°. Our second ray needs to be on the x-axis. But we need to draw one more ray to make an angle. Now we have a ray that we call the terminal side. We draw a ray from the origin, which is the center of the plane, to that point. We keep going past the 90° point (the top part of the y-axis) until we get to 144°. We rotate counterclockwise, which starts by moving up. We start on the right side of the x-axis, where three o’clock is on a clock. Let’s say we want to draw an angle that’s 144° on our plane. Go back to Calculators page What is a Reference Angle, anyway?

Borderlands 3 background1/30/2024 ![]() While this one obviously boosts your magical abilities, the hit you take to your critical damage ends up being pretty significant. Even then, I’d honestly recommend considering another background. This is a really niche background choice best suited for magic users like Graveborns and Spellshots. Unfortunately, it also left them less likely to go in for the kill during combat situations. While your character quickly found out the monk lifestyle isn’t for them, their time spent following that path left them a little wiser than they were before. Worst Failed Monk Classes: Brr-Zerker, Clawbringer, Stabbomancer Key Stat Changes: +4 Wisdom (+8% Status Damage), +2 Intelligence (+2% Spell Cooldown), -2 Dexterity (-4% Crit Chance), -4 Strength (-5% Critical Attack Damage)īest Failed Monk Classes: Graveborn, Spellshot ![]() Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands: Failed Monk Background Explained Brr-Zerkers and Clawbringers need those higher health pools to get the most out of their melee attacks, and reducing the size of a Graveborn’s initial health pool makes that class even harder to play than it already is. Unless you’re looking to make things difficult on yourself, though, don’t even think about choosing this background for Brr-Zerkers, Clawbringers, or Graveborns. While there are obviously better background choices in the game for magic-based classes, I honestly find Village Idiot to be a reliable option for pretty much any build. Their ability-enabled critical attack bonuses really make it easy to appreciate the good work those extra Strength points are doing. This is an obvious choice for Brr-Zerkers and Clawbringers (two melee classes that don’t rely on Intelligence as often), but I also love this choice for Stabbomancers. Meanwhile, you will almost certainly notice those extra Strength points every time that you do critical damage and watch an enemy’s health bar vanish. You probably won’t notice the minor hit to your Intelligence in the early parts of the game, and it’s easy enough to make up for those lost points before long. This is a really, really good background choice. They receive a massive boost to their Strength stat and only need to endure a relatively slight statistical hit to their Intelligence. Worst Village Idiot Classes: Spellshot, Spore Wardenĭescribed by the game as “sweet large children,” Village Idiots are…simpler characters that get by on their looks and brawn. Best Village Idiot Classes: Brr-Zerker, Clawbringer, Stabbomancer

Spec ops asuka1/30/2024 ![]() ![]() I just want to wrap her in a hug and take her to a therapist so she can process and deal with everything she’s experienced properly. It’s the little things that this series does so well, the way Asuka will instantly jump into a fighting stance when she hears a loud bang or how she keeps herself in shape because that’s what she’s used to now, always being ready for the next battle. You want her to have a normal life again and you want her to find happiness, but you can also see all the signs that she is well and truly traumatised by what she’s been through and its not going to be that easy. There are so many series where we have teenage protagonists going through hell as they battle inter-dimensional aliens or parasitic clothes or whatever, but what happens after the world is saved and the end credits have rolled? Do they just go back to their ordinary lives? Is it even that easy? And I realise that stories like this have been done before, but it’s a good idea and with the rise of Dark Magical Girl genre over the past several years, it’s a story that works incredibly well.Īsuka herself is an incredibly likeable and sympathetic main character. Honestly both are, without doubt, brilliant. Let’s talk about Asuka and the core concept of this series first (because if I keep thinking about the other stuff I’m going to explode and I think I’ll save that for later). It baffles me slightly that Asuka and her trauma are dealt with so effectively by the series and yet this is the same series that is constantly cramming in intrusive fanservice, gore and more torture than I have ever had the misfortune to watch. You see I love Asuka and her journey through the series, but the more I think about it, the more I hate everything else in this series. This time though, that dilemma is dialled up to eleven. Can one good thing save an anime? Usually it crops up with a mediocre series where there’s a character or storyline that I really love, but I’m not too interested in the rest, so I have to decide if I’m willing to go back to the series just for that one thing. No, scratch that, I have several hundred problems with this anime, but it’s brought to mind a particular question that I’ve had to wrestle with from time to time. Yet when her friends’ lives are put on the line, will Asuka return to the fight? The Review: Some of the magical girls have joined up with the military of their home countries in an effort to fight against these criminals, but for Asuka, all she wants is to get back to a normal life, if she can even remember what that is anymore. Despite the war being won, the world was far from at peace, gangs and criminals are on the rise, some of them using weapons left over from those invading monsters. Eventually the war ended, but not everyone survived and for those that did choices had to be made. What’s the Story?Īfter being invaded by killer cuddly monsters from another dimension (not the strangest invasion I’ve ever seen in anime it has to be said), young women from across the globe were given magical powers in an effort to fight back. Because the best place for a magically super powered teenager is on the front lines.

Funny words in russian1/30/2024 ![]() "Приятно провести время" doesn't cover this, it is bound to an ongoing event that suggests having actual fun. ![]() General phrase "приятно провести время" covers almost all cases, I believe, but as you see it is much longer than just "have fun", and thus a bit formal phrase.Īlso, if I'm correct, you could say "have fun" just like "good luck" (удачи) in some cases. "Have fun" is very general, but in Russian, in such cases, it is more specific to context: Depends on what the night actually was, 6PM - 0AM, or 0AM - 6AM. Although this is not means they aren't wish it at all. In this spirit, we’ve selected 25 of our favorite foreign words and their weird and wonderful literal translations. In general, "to have fun" is not the thing Russians are wish to each other in conversations too often. In that case, if you don't want to expose yourself as a foreign spy, you should rather answer something like "приятного просмотра" or "приятно провести время". However, as far as I understand, in English it's okay to have a conversation like:īut in Russian you usually will not see something like:Īlthough it is not incorrect in any terms of grammar (if only the movie is not a horror or a lachrymose romance), it is just not like people are actually talking. Any kind of god is ideological necrophilia, Vladimir Lenin, the creator and first ruler of the USSR, wrote in his letter to Maxim Gorky. Which make a big difference in grammatical constructions. But if in English you are having something fun, in Russian you rather doing something fun. However, you will most probably come across many other interesting and funny Russian words when you learn Russian language.There is no straight analog for "fun" and its usage.īy itself, "have fun" is rather "повеселись". No need to worry! Not all Russian words are that long. If someone’s stressed out and wringing their hands over financial woes, this phrase can offer a bit of relief. Friends are more valuable than moneyplain and simple. We hope you won’t get frightened of these examples of long Russian words. Transliteration/Cyrillic: Ni imay sto ruble, imay sto druzei /.

You can get access to multiple augments during a single match, but augments do not carry over after a match is finished, whether you win or lose.

Before you get taken by surprise, here's a complete breakdown of how to unlock augments and how they work in Fortnite.Īugments, or Reality Augments, are essentially a new perk system introduced into Fortnite. Augments need to be considered, and deeply understood, not only for when you get them yourself but to know what new tricks your opponents could have up their sleeves.
