![]() ![]() Description Red-eared slider basking on a floating platform under a sunlamp Plastron of a young red-eared slider turtle Trachemys scripta contains three subspecies: T. It was previously classified under the name Chrysemys scripta elegans. The red-eared slider belongs to the order Testudines, which contains about 250 turtle species. Trachemys scripta troostii is now the scientific name for another subspecies, the Cumberland slider. This species was previously known as Troost's turtle in honor of an American herpetologist Gerard Troost. ![]() The red-eared slider gets its name from the small, red stripe around its ears, or where its ears would be, and from its ability to slide quickly off rocks and logs into the water. Etymology Red-eared sliders are popular pets around the world. The red-eared slider is included in the list of the world's 100 most invasive species. The red-eared slider is native from the Midwestern United States to northern Mexico, but has become established in other places because of pet releases, and has become invasive in many areas where it outcompetes native species. It is the most commonly traded turtle in the world. It is the most popular pet turtle in the United States, is also popular as a pet across the rest of the world, and is the most invasive turtle. The red-eared slider or red-eared terrapin ( Trachemys scripta elegans) is a subspecies of the pond slider ( Trachemys scripta), a semiaquatic turtle belonging to the family Emydidae. ![]()

Rufus supports tackling global challenges through coalitions and multilateral institutions. American leadership is vital to a safe, secure, and prosperous world, as Rufus knows we are stronger when we stand with partners instead of acting unilaterally. That means standing up for human rights and the principles of justice, freedom, and democracy around the world. Rufus believes in a foreign policy that upholds America’s highest values. This isn’t just a moral imperative, but an economic opportunity. We also need to accelerate our transition to a clean energy economy with renewable energy sources like wind, solar and hydro. The United States must return to its position of global leadership, as seen in the Paris Climate Agreement. All levels of government must play a role in mitigating the effects of climate change, investing in sustainable technologies, and preserving our environment for generations to come. A Medicare-like system that is available to all citizens remains my long-term goal, and Rufus knows Massachusetts can continue to lead the country in this effort.Ĭlimate change is one of the greatest and most pressing challenges of our times. Rufus believes need to defend and strengthen the progress made by the ACA to increase access and decrease costs. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was a great achievement, but it’s only the beginning. Health care must be treated as a fundamental right, not a privilege, and all Americans deserve world-class health care that they can afford. Rufus believes rebuilding trust should be a top priority as it is a major key that allows Congress and our government to effectively govern. People have lost faith in the system and it is hindering on our nation’s Democracy. Rufus believes now is the time for a bold, aspirational policy agenda that is going to rebuild trust between our government and the American people. ![]() ![]() It would be better to get through the licences before progressing to the actual racing, but these can be tackled at any time. Completing these challenges allow for harder tracks to be raced on, and other licences to be earned. ![]() To get a new licence, players will need to complete a few challenges of varying difficulty to earn a better ranked licence. Tutorials and challenges are under the guise of getting new licences. Luckily KartRider: Drift has a fair few tutorials and challenges to help acclimatise players to the control scheme. Track layouts are quite wide, so there is enough room for 8 racers clamouring through the grid to get to 1st. Desert, Forest, Glacier, Village, Mine and World Tour are the main themes for the tracks and there is more than enough distinction between each of the worlds to make them worthwhile to race on. There are over 40 tracks in the game, and there will certainly be more that are added. Staying in the Draft zone gives the user a temporary speed boost, but staying too close and bumping into them can cause karts to slow down. Finally, there is also the art of Drafting, which is when racers are directly in the slip stream of karts in front of them. ![]() The number of times that this has been successfully pulled off during the review process, where it felt like it had been an advantage, is at a minimum, and in some cases, it might had been better to not drift at all (there is an exception to this mentioned later in the review). This certainly isn't a technique that younger gamers are going to master in a hurry and it can feel a little alien for those coming from other mascot racers. Players can also master turning into the drift, counter-balancing the drift and then re-accelerating to get a tiny boost on top. The X button begins a drift, and unlike Mario Kart which starts this process with a tiny hop, KartRider: Drift starts with a handbrake turn. However, the challenge of drifting in KartRider: Drift has made it somewhat intriguing to get to grips with. The beauty of a series like Mario Kart is the simplicity in the execution of drifting and mastering the tracks. The ultimate decision would really be down to user preference, but the real difficulty curve is the drift mechanic, which is a little cumbersome to get the hang of. There are differing control schemes that utilise the face buttons for most of the action, or an alternative of using the triggers to accelerate and brake. Two weapons can be held at once and they can be interchanged just like in Mario Kart Double Dash, adding a little bit of strategy and items management. This weapon feels brilliant to execute, but annoying to be caught in. If caught in this blast radius, drivers will be caught in an electro-field bubble and be unable to move. Another interesting item is the Electro-bomb that can be thrown forward and catches multiple racers in its blast. The kart will fling itself forward, although the caveat is that, if overtaken, the polarity reverses and all of a sudden, the attached driver now gets the benefit. One of the most over powered items is in the form of a magnet, which can be aimed at any racer in front of the kart, ideally aiming for first place if they can be seen and attaching it to them. There are also defensive shields to block incoming attacks. Weapon boxes are also scattered on the track and contain offensive weapons such as bananas, missiles and brick walls. ![]() Races feature up to 8 characters over 3 laps duking it out for top spot. The game starts off with a rather simple tutorial before thrusting players into the deep end with some races which can be against AI opponents or online players (or a mix of both). That isn't to say that any aforementioned mascot racer is pumping out the mature vibes either, but KartRider: Drift certainly skews younger. The music, the character voices and animation feel incredibly focussed on aiming at the younger market. On first approach KartRider: Drift has the look, feel and sound of an entry level kart racer for 4- to 8-year-olds, and perhaps that is the target market. ![]() ![]() With 25% lesser sugar, it is ideal for people who are conscious of their sugar intake. ![]() ![]() We have seen a big change in bird nutrition over the past 10 years, and Harrison’s has been Mar 4, 2022 Treetop Play, a dry play area in Bird Paradise.

![]() ![]() The lore for these guys pretty much demands they be in the setting, through you could easily change to lore if you so desired. As an apology, have a rebuilt class I made specifically to fit within Vallonde. Don’t be like me kids, I’m a bad role model (for many more reasons than occasionally getting blackout drunk at 10pm, but that’s just the most recent example). I’d love to hear your thoughts.įun fact: I was supposed to upload something on sunday but was far too hungover to even think about it. ![]() I’m toying around with building a sort of “favored class” mechanic into more of my races just so they synergize better with certain classes that make sense either mechanically or, as with these guys, lore-wise.Īs always, questions and comments are welcome. They’re called dragon monks as commonly as they’re called draken due to the prevalence of monks among the race. The breath weapon uses dex to hit, the bonus AC only work when you’re not wearing armor, which monks don’t. Every part of them synergizes with the class by design. I try to give all of my races an identity, and these guys are born monks, and they die monks. So this is my take on dragonborn to better fit them into the world and make them a bit more unique than I feel they currently do. More races, and I’m still putting off major world building because I’m basically a trashbag with a laptop. Happy gaming everyone, and I hope this is as great a resource for everyone else as it is for me! I hope that this gives everyone a chance to better browse what I’ve made and, even though there are still a lot of things that haven’t been added to this new table of contents, it’s a good start and a great resource already so I’m not going to wait any longer to get it out there.

FINALLY, A TABLE OF CONTENTS! Click the above link for an easily navigable database of links to specific content as well as general categories such as homebrew rule systems and monsters!Īlright gang, I’ve made some compilation posts before for people that want to more easily look through the contents of the blog, and it has been a lot of help for me as well since going through 50+ pages of blog is a lot of effort, even when you have basic, non-specific bookmarks. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can do this by adding an Image File Execution Option for Sticky Keys (sethc.exe) and have it open cmd.exe. When you select to have process explorer replace task manager, it is actually making use of the Image File Execution Options which replaces taskmon.exe with procmon.exe.Īnother useful way to start ProcMon is at the Windows Logon Screen (CTRL+ALT+DEL). One of the most useful ways to run ProcExp is before logon, or as a replacement to Task Manager. If you start ProcExp in standard mode, you’ll notice it has extra options to Show Details for All Processes:Īlso, if you every have issues opening ProcExp, you should clear its registry key at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sysinternals. I recommend starting ProcExp.exe from an elevated command prompt, so that it opens in administrative mode. This UNC path is a service provided by Microsoft and is referred to as Sysinternals Live. The set of tools is now available on any Windows computer by opening \\\tools\ in a file explorer. Microsoft acquired Winternals on July 18, 2006, which included Sysinternals and the utilities within it. ![]() Sysinternals was originally created in 1996 by Winternals Software and was started by Bryce Cogswell and Mark Russinovich. Process Explorer is a part of Windows Sysinternals which is a set of utilities to manage, diagnose, troubleshoot, and monitor Windows. This is the most downloaded tool of the Sysinternals toolkit, with over 3 Million downloads a year. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded. This tutorial helped me develop my technical skills and become more familiar with the Sysinternals toolkit. I also cover how to enable additional columns in ProcExp, and how to save column sets for future use. This tutorial covers a variety of topics, including how to start ProcExp in administrative mode, how to find running processes and those that close quickly, how to understand threads with Service Host (svchost.exe), and how to hunt for a virus. Process Explorer is a tool within the Windows Sysinternals utilities that shows information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded. I created a tutorial for Process Explorer (ProcExp) to help me practice my skills for an upcoming interview to be a Sr Solutions Architect at Microsoft. ![]() ![]() ![]() The sRGB gamut coverage: The sRGB gamut coverage tells you how well a laptop can reproduce all colors on the color wheel.This is what separates a lackluster viewing experience from a captivating, can't-take-your-eyes-off the-screen moments. Here's what you should look for when choosing the best photo editing laptop for you. The best photo editing laptop is well stocked on ports, has excellent color reproduction, can handle demanding photo editing software and more. How to choose the best photo editing laptop for you See our full Asus ZenBook Pro Duo (UX582L) review. Some may not be fond of the keyboard and touchpad location, and the price is a serious deterrent, but the ZenBook Duo Pro 15 should be considered by content creators who need more screen real estate while on the go. Has it grown enough to make Asus’s vision of a dual-screen laptop something consumers clamor for? In some regards, yes, but it still feels like a niche device for a subsection of content creators (who have large budgets). ![]() Asus’s take on dual-screen laptops has evolved since the first iteration of the Asus ZenBook Duo (UX481), with improvements in build quality and ergonomics addressing some of the original problems. The Asus ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is a unique dual-screen laptop with a 15-inch, 4K OLED panel up top and a smaller OLED screen above the keyboard. Sure, it has a few faults, but those are easily forgotten once you get this beauty in your hands. In fact, the Spectre x360 14 is the best HP laptop if you want a convertible notebook. We recommend buying the Spectre x360 14 over the Envy 13 if you have the money, especially if you need the flexible design. Highlights of this laptop include a stunning design, bright and vivid 1920 x 1280-pixel IPS and 3K2K OLED display options, epic 12+ hour battery life and fast overall performance.Īdd to that a generously sized touchpad that is silky to the touch as well as a comfortable (albeit shallow) keyboard, excellent security options (fingerprint sensor and facial recognition) and a good selection of ports, and well, it's easy to see why we like this laptop so much. Newly released for 2021, the 13.5-inch model builds upon its predecessors but adds useful new features including a 3:2 aspect ratio display and 11th Gen Intel CPUs with Iris Xe graphics. The Spectre x360 14 is the best 2-in-1 laptop ever. ![]() ![]() But I feel you would make a better job of doing that. If you think that is better served by me making a non-informative bug report to the core maintainers, so be it. I would argue that (i) I tried to install ggplot2 and failed, and reported as much as I could find (ii) you as ggplot2 developers in turn know how to identify the source, and can in turn report it (with much better information) to the actual maintainers of the root problem package. I am not a R developer, so I do not know how to trace this to its ultimate source. I cannot speak to the fact of whether it happened before the last release - the system this failed on is not my system, and it's a brand new system (it is a novice student's system, whom I'm trying to convince of the merits of ggplot2 - and patently failing due to this bug.) I'm reporting it here since it materially affects the ability of this particular user (and presumably others) to use ggplot2.
