![]() Also, the base doesn't contain multiple defenses in each cell. The town hall is used to tank and distract the attacker. The Dark Elixir is centered and the other loot is evenly placed. This base is a similar design as the top one. Having the clan castle full with splash damage units is always useful. Also another reminder, This base works best in farming positions, which is in gold and crystal 3. Reminder, a goal of a farming base is not to protect maximum amount of loot but to lose the minimum amount of equal loot of each type. The elixir and gold are evenly placed throughout the base. The cycling design of this base prevents giant raids, as it leads them to circle around the bases, which is loaded with spring traps. The tesla practically eliminates any troops that come too close to the dark elixir, including tanks and spam troops. This one does prioritize dark elixir over other types of loot, but that's what most farming bases do. Our bases are designed to handle other farming raids, from levels above your current one, since it is pretty unusual to get raided war-style if you're farming. Throughout my time playing, farming bases gets raided by players of all sorts of levels, each of them with different objectives.

![]() That’s because adjusting this pillow is tidier than adjusting our Easy Breather pick (which has loose clumps of foam that can be messy to mold). We believe the PlushComfort Pillow Ultimate is the best option for side- and back-sleepers who aren’t sure how much loft they really need. (Don’t confuse this pillow with another shredded-foam pillow we tried, the Sleep Number ComfortFit Pillow Classic, which isn’t adjustable.) It’s similar to the Sleep Number PlushComfort Pillow Ultimate, but this one uses a mix of shredded foam and down alternative, instead of just down alternative. And there are three sealed, removable layers inside, so this pillow is easier to customize than any others we tried. The Sleep Number ComfortFit Pillow Ultimate is one of the loftiest shredded-foam pillows we’ve tested. Sleep Number has recently changed its no-return policy to a 100-day return policy by mail, and the company also provides a one-year limited warranty on its pillows. Most of our testers (even some back- and side-sleepers, who generally prefer shredded foam) found a comfortable height and enjoyed the cushioned support of the PlushComfort Pillow Ultimate. But the PlushComfort Pillow Ultimate includes all three options in one pillow: It comes with three sealed, removable layers of fill to help you achieve the best fit for your body shape. Most pillows we’ve tried come in soft, medium, or firm densities. (“Down alternative” is a fluffy fill, usually polyester or rayon, that mimics the feel of down but costs much less.) The Sleep Number PlushComfort Pillow Ultimate is the only customizable down-alternative pillow we’ve ever tested, and it’s ideal for stomach-sleepers who have a hard time finding the right height. This pillow comes with a 30-day return policy and a two-year warranty. The Easy Breather comes in four sizes, including a side-sleeper version with a curved edge for your shoulder (which we haven’t yet tested). This can be a messy process, but it does let you achieve a precise fit. The pouch also has a zipper, so you can still add or remove shredded-foam filling to achieve your ideal loft. The Easy Breather was redesigned in 2021 with a softer, cooler cover, and the shredded foam is now encased in its own washable inner pouch (making it the first fully washable shredded-foam pillow we’ve tested). It’s one of the most comfortable shredded-foam pillows we’ve found, and there isn’t a persistent problem with smelly foam (which we’ve encountered with shredded-foam pillows from other companies). The Nest Bedding Easy Breather Pillow has been a consistent tester favorite for its firm, adjustable support. ![]() ![]() It is not unusual to hear of NOS (new old-stock) batteries over 5 years old that still work well. However, for healthy batteries it usually takes a very long time for the cells to self-discharge to such low voltages (assuming they are stored at reasonable initial capacity, usually 40-60%). While there have been improvements such as ceramic separators to help control internal shorts, they cannot be completely prevented, so a well-designed BMS will always permanently disable the battery if it detects such dangerous conditions. In particular, it does not occur when the battery is self-discharging in long-term storage. Note that this dangerous scenario can occur only if the battery is subsequently recharged (which is prevented by the BMS). In particular it may plate into sharp dendrites that could pierce the separator and lead to internal shorts and venting (possibly with flames). If the cell is later recharged to higher voltage then the copper will plate back out - but not necessarily in the same uniform way. When Li-ion cells are at low voltages (typically < 1.5V) the copper current collector can dissolve. If this occurs the BMS (Battery Management System) will not allow any further use of the battery, and the OS will report that the battery needs to be replaced. ![]() If they are stored too long then they will self-discharge to voltages so low that the may no longer be safe to recharge. Yes, laptop batteries are rigorously designed to be safe under all normal usage conditions, including long-term storage. ![]() ![]() To keep your Android safe from malicious apps, Norton scans apps before you download them to your device and alerts you in case the apps in question contain viruses and malware.

I use one to grow all the fresh herbs I use the most, and the other to grow fresh lettuces and salad greens. ![]() I honestly love it Thai basil so much that I insist on growing it myself so I always have some on hand. While you CAN substitute regular basil, I think it’s worth heading to an Asian market to search for the Thai version. I really love Thai basil, and the flavor is different from a traditional basil. Lean, grass-fed ground beef, red bell pepper, onion, garlic, and Thai basil. My Thai Basil Ground Beef has only a few ingredients, but it packs a ton of flavor.

While not a truly authentic recipe (you won’t see me grinding chilis to make my own chili paste, for example) I did try to follow the concepts of Thai cooking that I learned when we were in Thailand, which are to try to incorporate the 4 main flavors of Thai cuisine into the dish. My Thai basil ground beef whips up in minutes – you basically just brown the ground beef, add in some veggies/aromatics, give it a quick stir, and then pour in the sauce and simmer for a couple of minutes.

![]() ![]() Microsoft and Samsung partnered to announce the current version of PixelSense, the Samsung SUR40 for Microsoft Surface (“SUR40”), at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2011. Sales of Microsoft Surface 1.0 were discontinued in 2011 in anticipation of the release of the Samsung SUR40 for Microsoft Surface and the Microsoft Surface 2.0 software platform. Microsoft Corporation produced the hardware and software for the Microsoft Surface 1.0 product. The device is optimized to recognize 52 simultaneous multitouch points of contact. Raw vision data is also available and can be used in applications. The Surface platform processing identifies three types of objects touching the screen: fingers, tags, and blobs. The cameras’ vision capabilities enable the product to see a near-IR image of what’s placed on the screen, captured at approximately 60 times per second. The product and its applications are designed so that several people can approach the display from all sides to simultaneously share and interact with digital content. The display is placed in a horizontal orientation, giving it a table-like appearance. It is a 30-inch (76 cm) 4:3 rear projection display (1024×768) with an integrated PC and five near-infrared (IR) cameras that can see fingers and objects placed on the display. It shipped to customers in 2008 as an end-to-end solution with Microsoft producing and selling the combined hardware/software platform. Microsoft Surface 1.0, the first version of PixelSense, was announced on May 29, 2007, at the D5 Conference. The PixelSense platform consists of software and hardware products that combine vision based multitouch PC hardware, 360-degree multiuser application design, and Windows software to create a natural user interface (NUI). Microsoft PixelSense (formerly called Microsoft Surface) was an interactive surface computing platform that allowed one or more people to use and touch real-world objects, and share digital content at the same time. ![]() Samsung SUR40 with Microsoft PixelSense: Microsoft Surface 2.0Įnglish, Danish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Dutch, Swedish Microsoft Surface 1.0: Microsoft Surface 1.0 Samsung SUR40 with Microsoft PixelSense: Windows 7 Professional for Embedded Systems (64-bit) Microsoft Surface 1.0: Windows Vista (32-bit) Hardware: Samsung SUR40 with Microsoft PixelSense (2012) ![]() ![]() ![]() The same feeling of increased developer attention to detail that is evident in the quest and encounter design, is prevalent in the area design as well. The designers seem to have sensed one of the complaints I personally had regarding scripted encounters, and the text now gives the player hints of what skill/attribute will be tested before he or she has to choose a character to preform an action. Talking about "hand-crafted", the number of scripted interactions, and their complexity have both been increased, and they feel better than ever. There is meaning to pretty much every combat encounter, and you can see someone made a deliberate decision how many enemies to put there, what type, what class, etc. Nothing feels arbitrary, nothing feels like "filler". On every level, the game left me with the feeling I'm playing the kind of hand-crafted adventure, which I hoped PoE would have been at release. If reactivity is one thing that stands out when describing TWM2, I think "variance" and "hand-crafted" are the other major descriptors. This is a huge thing for me, as influencing the main plot is something rarely seen in RPGs in general, so I really appreciated being given multiple approaches to solving problems which affected the story, even if just on the TWM2 level.Īnd it's not just the main quest either - the player can influence the outcome and resolution of smaller quests - what's the future of Stalwart's economy going to be, it's trade relationship with Defiance Bay, the fate of a miner accused of murder, there are too many such things to list everything. Even quests that are part of the main TWM2 story can be solved in radically different ways, depending on player choice. ![]() I think it was great how this was woven into the main quest and the ability was not simply thrown at the player with some "magic" explanation, but also the fact that it was optional.Īnother improvement in TWM2 is the increased amount of meaningful reactivity, which provides a lot of opportunities for role-playing, for playing out both minor and major quests differently, and adds replay value. The most prominent example of this is how, early in TWM2, depending on the way you handle a certain quest, you may get the ability to call long-range artillery on targets, and potentially make your life easier later on. In my book, this is always a good sign for the attention to detail and the resources a development team was able to spare. One way you can tell you are playing a quality game is when you see the developers being "generous" with content - giving you custom-made mechanics and content to play around with, which can't be easily reused somewhere else. I even enjoyed it more than TWM which was already very, very good. Worth your money a couple of times over, and at least as many playthroughs, TWM2 is a vast improvement in quality to the base game, in every aspect. Basically the horrid encounter design just wears down a man's will. I have a lot more fun with the early game when my guys are swinging swords and there aren't 30 different buffs/debuffs and battlefield conditions to pause-hump around. Large battles such as these were a lot of fun for me in BG2 for example, not exactly sure why they are such a drag in PoE. The more interesting fights, such as the huge clusterfuck bounty encounters, devolve into throwing all of the AoE I have at the group and hoping to come out on top. Unpopulated areas where I can enjoy exploring the map without being constantly badgered by stationary packs of 12 randomly assorted ghosts are refreshing and, somehow, more enjoyable lately. However, after tackling a handful of these nigh-identical fights in a row, I just feel incredibly discouraged to sneak around the corner only to find another of these nigh-identical fights ahead of me. None of the new areas are too challenging and the difficulty for each encounter feels 'right' if you take them on at the appropriate level. ![]() ![]() ![]() After spawning the chest, it took me around 30 minutes to complete the quest for a total of 1 hour.
