To investigate an anomaly, a science ship with a scientist on board must be present at the celestial body where the anomaly is located. Subsequent surveys on that planet by other players will not yield anomalies. The chance to discover an anomaly rises to 50% by the 10-th unsuccessful try with the base chance (5%), by the 4-th try with the Meticulous trait or the Map The Stars edict, and by the 3-ed try with both of them.Īnomalies only spawn on a planet the first time it is surveyed by any player, and are only visible to that player. The Meticulous trait and Map The Stars edict each increases the base chance of finding anomalies by 10%. Certain Ethics occasionally have additional options.Įach surveyed celestial body has a 5% base chance of spawning an anomaly, which is increased by 0.5% for every surveyed planet with no anomaly before being reset. When the investigation of an anomaly is complete, an event will pop up that can give various bonuses, such as research points, resources on a planet, or even a special project which requires further research investment to unlock benefits. Anomalies have their own tab in the Situation Log. When a science ship surveys a celestial body it may identify an anomaly that needs further investigation.

![]() ![]() We were the only car there and so we didn't stop, but slowly drove by. In the meadow where we ususally see the most buffalo and they are on the road, there were just a few. Most of the buffalo were farther away from the road, but there were several within good viewing and photoing distance. In one herd were several that had big bellies, indicating that they were pregnant. We came across several small herds of Pronghorn Antelope. Right near the entrance was a herd of 4-5 Bighorn Sheep lying by the road. Everytime has been good, but this is probably the best. ![]() This is my 4th or 5th time driving the Wildlife Loop. We felt fortunate to have seen one in the wild, thanks to the safe wildlife drive. Upon seeing the displayed taxidermy wolverine I exclaimed to my assisting Cabellas staff, "that's the animal we saw 2 days ago driving in Custer Wildlife I didn't know what it was until I saw a stuffed one at Cabellas shopping two days later. It studied us at length one of the times it glared towards our car from about 100 yards away. Its face and ears were bear like, as it turned its head towards us. But before it disappeared among the low branches, it had turned several times to look toward our stopped car.Īt first I thought it was a small bear, but its body was longer, it had a dark long fluffy tail, and shorter legs. It was sniffing around the meadow grasses on the way into the pine woods about 10 feet away. My husband and I saw a wolverine towards the end of our drive. September 9 we took a drive on the wildlife loop from 5:20 PM until 7:30 PM. Loved it and we can’t wait to return to this beautiful place someday. Our last day we did an early morning drive-through and lucked out by seeing over 1,000 bison in 7 herds (5 on the Wildlife Loop and 2 others nearby). The second day we were prepared and brought carrots for the burros, now we were the ones walking out to meet them, they would tolerate brief petting before ambling off to the next hillside. The road is scenic, curvy, and fun to drive. Blue skies and rolling hills seemed to go on forever, providing picture postcard views in every direction. We also saw pronghorn antelope, deer, and prairie dogs. Within 10 short minutes we were enveloped in a “bison jam” and further down the road we saw the burros on a hillside with people walking out to meet them. At the entrance gate we purchased a week long pass for $20, a friendly ranger told us where there were recent sightings of bison and wild burros, and we were off. Each park has different things going for it, but we agreed that the Wildlife Loop Road in Custer State Park is by far the best. We drove here directly from Jackson Hole, WY after two mediocre days in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. ![]() 12/7/2023 0 Comments Mailplane app capitalization issue![]() 1647: Focus-caused notification issues, site-specific browser examples, virtualizing Windows on M-series Macs.#1430: Explaining Pages linked text boxes, improving iMovie output resolution, Mailplane 4 review 1646: Security-focused OS updates, Photos Workbench review, Mastodon client wishlist, Apple-related conferences. Slowly but surely Pages is getting back all the features it lost when Apple relaunched it a few years back. ![]() One of those recovered features is linked text boxes, and Michael Cohen tells you how the new, improved system works. We also have a tip for getting the full resolution out of your iMovie, and we take a look at the just-released Mailplane 4, which rolls Gmail into a Mac-native client. The only notable Mac app release this week is RapidWeaver 8.0. TipBITS: Make iMovie Output Full-Resolution Video Linked text boxes disappeared from Apple’s Pages in 2013, but after years of wandering in the wilderness, the powerful layout feature has returned better than ever. punctuation, spelling, and capitalization where Proenneke tended to be. Is your iMovie output stuck at 720p, even though you fed it a higher resolution video? While trying to record a screencast from a 27-inch Retina iMac, Josh Centers discovered the fix. He also endured prostate problems, and apparently suffered small strokes. On the Mac, Mailplane is a good fit for Gmail users who like Google’s Web-based interface but also want desktop features. With version 4, Mailplane rolls out many changes, including a new reliance on the Google Chrome browser under the hood, enabling the use of Gmail-focused Chrome extensions.

The App Store drove the price of apps to nearly zero, but it took Apple nearly a decade to respond to the problem by enabling in-app subscriptions. Kif Leswing at Business Insider shares the story.

Twitter has once again crippled third-party clients in its ongoing campaign to slowly drain the life out of them, this time removing major features.As a standalone e-mail client, Mailplane also supports standard OS X features. (1,604) Front takes out the pain of shared inboxes (contact, team, jobs.) by introducing collaboration in email. You can set Mailplane-and, thus, Gmail-as your default client, so clicking an e-mail link in any program opens a new Gmail message in Mailplane. A plug-in for iPhoto lets you send photos from within iPhoto using Mailplane. Mailplane can notify you of new messages via its Dock icon, a menu-bar item, and audible alerts. ![]() And the program supports both Address Book for adding recipients and OS X’s media browser for adding photos and other media to messages. One of my favorite features is that you can set up multiple Gmail accounts in Mailplane select one in the Accounts drawer and click on Switch To, and Mailplane logs you out of the current account and into the new one. (You can’t log in to two accounts at the same time, however.) I also like Mailplane’s keyboard navigation: press Shift+G and a Navigate box pops up type enough of the name of a Gmail view or label to uniquely identify it, and then press return to jump to that view. ![]() You can assign labels to messages and conversations using a similar procedure. Mailplane has a few minor issues here and there, most of them apparently due to the fact that the program is stuffing a Web application into a Mac OS X program. But overall it works well, and it offers a good combination of the advantages of a standalone e-mail client with the features of Gmail. ![]() 12/7/2023 0 Comments Surefire cr123a![]() The SF18650B also has a power indicator light that indicates when the battery is ready to be charged.

Father Christmas, in a sleigh pulled by reindeer, follows the snowfall all the way to Bethlehem and the stable where he encounters the newborn, Jesus. The story was entitled The First Christmas Snow and was about an unnamed Father Christmas who, stuck in the mud on a rainy December 24, is rescued when the rain suddenly turns to snow. He gathered them around a small stove which furnished light and warmth, and read his humble offering to Dale, Jr, Sarah, and Richard. ![]() Wishing to make the holiday special for his family, Dale wrote a story-in verse-to read to his three children on Christmas Eve. One Christmas in Great Britain, during the blitzkrieg of the second world war, Dale Bourbonridge knew he and his wife could not afford gifts. Nothing but a heartache etched in that vinyl.'

![]() ![]() This is really useful for playlists, where you may prefer to listen in a specific order. Also, editing track info is awkward compared to iTunes.you have to select a track, mouse to the edit window and edit your info, mouse back to track listing and select the next track, then mouse back to the edit window - there should be a "next" button like in iTunes.ĭespite these small issues (and a few others), for me Swinsian is a step up from iTunes and/or the Music App and was well worth the $25. When viewing your library, you can now choose to sort by Recently added, A to Z or Z to A. Even if it did, the lyrics window is way too small and can't be resized. And while Swinsian did import all my playlists, album art and star ratings, it didn't import my lyrics. I get the Column Browser back which the Music App took away, I no longer have to convert FLAC files to an iTunes readable format (a big time saver for me), and it's much zippier.iTunes (and the Music App) always had a 2 or 3 second lag when switching songs which never bothered me, but I think after using Swinsian that lag would bug me if I had to switch back to the Music App. I purchased Swinsian a week ago and I'm really liking it. I paid full price for this software and am disappointed that such a simple yet important feature is still nowhere to be seen. Among the many different applications I have running on a regular basis, this has been only one that has yet to give my eyes a rest even among a bunch of other third-party developers. More importantly, if the developers are reading this, please PLEASE implement a dark mode soon. Once I have an album imported the songs end up in alphabetical order and not the order. Fixed audio output not working when changing system audio output. Hi there, I am having issues with track order for individual albums. A simple "lock" button next to the size slider would completely fix the issue. NEW: 4 tracks mode to separate Vocals, Harmonic, Bass, and Drums Added options to edit. Aside from a couple issues I've had, Swinsian makes other Mac OS music players look like a joke.Ĭhanging the grid's icon size is an exception to the lag-free experience and is especially frustrating because it's extremely easy to mess everything up with an accidental zoom gesture and go through the laggy, frustrating process of getting it to the right size again and again. Unfortunately, since I abandoned old components like foocwbhooks and foocustominfo, I have been absolutely baffled as to how to manage my recently added tracks autoplaylist. BR Attached Thumbnails Last edited by BetterRed 06-10-2014 at 09:20 PM. I recently decided to upgrade my foobar2000 to 0.9.5.4, because I really like the new functionalities of Default UI. The overall lack of fluff while still having a fantastic interface is a godsend. Added: I think that disproves you last hypothesis, added a screen shot of the Tag table. The customizability has allowed me to arrange the interface exactly to my liking. I'm at over 250gb of lossy audio (about 30k files) myself and experience little to no lag when navigating the browsers and art grid. An awkward solution I’ve adopted is to create an empty playlist and then import new tracks by dragging them to the playlist window. Swinsian does not seem to have this capability. Definitely the best music player around for big libraries. Swinsian recently added tracks not alphabetizing. In iTunes, you can sort tracks by Date Added or define a smart playlist for recently added tracks. ![]() 12/7/2023 0 Comments 8 oz red bull caffeine![]() ![]() ![]() Caffeine has links with decreased all-cause mortality.
