Would you push the button8/1/2023 So there is this simple question that everything in our culture that is not strictly administrative is built upon: much of life is pleasure and much of it is suffering - what is a tolerable balance? Is any amount of suffering worth it? Does a small amount of happiness outweigh much suffering? How could happiness even be defined if there were no suffering? Death is no different whined at than withstood etc.Īgain, I must say that I know everybody knows this. Lust for life doesn't get you out of this. I hesitate to write this sentence because it is so obvious, but all the while I am happy, seeing people, going to shows, having sex, making music, I know it's true that a third of the people I meet will die of cancer and two-thirds of them will die of something else, and I will be witness to this if I don't die of cancer or something else first the people I have sex with will die, and before they do they will become people I would not want to have sex with, and I will be unsexy to them the children I might create through this sex will go through the same process: much joy, delight in their abilities, friendship, excitement, whatever, but ultimately defeat/compromise/infirmity/death. "Is life worth living?" is not the same question as "Can life ever be fun or fulfilling or offer moments of pure exquisite insight/pleasure/glory/connection?" - of course it can, for most people (even in terrible situations), for some of the time. The question itself boils down to "Is life worth living?" which is sort of the most basic building block of all philosophy, art, religion and anything else. It doesn't make sense!Īutomatically connecting this question to suicide is weird. All the people going no but how does it work? what'll happen to my kids? are like people who can't sit still during a time-travel film.

Say there isn't any corrosion, will I still be beating on the thing with a sledge hammer for a long time? I'm still favoring having the pro's do it, but theres that side of me that wants to mess with it. The bus is from Alabama and clean, but it is a 1989. If you want customer service, you NEED an International! If you do a decent job (clean up the old parts, inspect carefully and install the new seals and bushings in a quality manner) the minimum time I would expect this job to take is 4 hours. Many shops have labor rates in the $90/hr range, and parts alone are around $80. If it breaks, well, it needed replacing anyway.ĭepending on how corroded, if at all, the King Pins are, 7 hours is not at all unreasonable. An adjustable reamer will do the job, but it's simpler to take the spindles to a machine shop for fitting.įor an '89 IH with a 7500 or 9000# axle, 7 hours labor is not unreasonable. Bronze bushings need to be roached to fit the pins. If the bushings aren't the problem, you can try new drawkeys, but it's only a short term fix and it dodges the real problem: the axle eye is streched out. Those 7500 lb IH axles are notorious for chewing up drawkeys. Some states permit boring and sleeving axle beams. If the kingpins are loose due to a chewed up drawkey, the axle bore may be egged out. Don't peen them! They will be stuck even tighter. If the drawkeys don't come loose with a few raps, use a drill centering guide and drill them out as large as practicle. I have seen a 50 ton press struggle with a pin in a 12K axle even after the keys were drilled out, just because of corrosion. Kingpins can be a bit different up here in the rustbelt.ĭepending on the age of the vehicle and the size of the axle, getting the drawkeys out can be a major headache, not to mention the pin itself. $225? Wow, did they do an front end alignment also? Will do, but one thing is there isn't a lot here in Vermont so not a lot of choices. You dont want to get something half way apart, then realize you have made a huge mistake and have to have it towed to get repaired.ġ Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief. If I were you, I'd shop around for a better price, and make sure that you dont get an idiot that's gonna use a torch to heat them up to remove them, it ruins the temper of the axle. I alwasy used a bottle jack with a socket on top of it between the bottom of the pin and the top of the jack, you have to knock out the bushings, then beat the tar out of knuckle. If you do it youself, expect to do a lot of big time hammering. Shop around, you'll find a much better price. A garage here in town by me did them both for $225. It is possible, but 7 hours is wayyyyyy too much. I'm leaning towards letting someone else do the job which isn't something I do to often. I'm pretty good with mechanical stuff but I've never done Kingpins. Estimate is 7 hours labor so they are saying $715 for the job. My 1989 Bluebird Internation needs both Kingpins replaced to pass inspection. Can Kingpins be replaced in my driveway by me?

Cubelands offline8/1/2023 Interesting, I recently started working on a block-building style game myself - primarily to see if I could do something similar to Minecraft and random map generation. Oh, yea, and I meant “skip” in the last feedback post A fotocam sound when you make a photo would make it easier for the people being photographed to know when they can move again The last crit is super simple, but yet effective. For instance, the possibility to write stuff that just your friends can see, or be able to see directly at the server list on which servers your friends are, are missing totally. The friends list is a nice idea, but could use some tweaking. I don’t think that weapons would fit into the game, but some kind of throwing cubes at other players when they F*** something up or just look in the wrong direction would be a funny touch. Also a non commercial method of changing the flag on the players belly would be nice and help the social aspect allot. This would defiantly add some atmosphere and is not that hard to implement. Example: You write a and the player character makes a sad face, etc. The current face impression depends on smilies you are using in game. I don't talk about changing material settings, but just give the player the opportunity to make his own textures and then upload them so that every player can use them. One of my biggest wishes for the game are selfmade blocks. Hosts should be able to forbid building for all other players on that server with the effect that someone could make actually jump'n run levels, and then invite people to play that. These things would add a nice gameplay touch to the game. For instance some kind of wind Block that pushes you away from his position, blocks that fade from passable to non-passable, etc. Click to expand.Especially the physic cubes would be a big improvement.

Jumbline 2 level 4 answers8/1/2023 (think of it like a single word anagram). You enter the jumbled/scrambled words and it tells you the possible words or answers, that can be made from those letters Solving word jumble games will sharpen your ability to unscramble words quickly and sufficiently. You get a rack of 7 random letters and you have to unscramble the letters to find the best word for your turn. In those games, you’re theoretically always solving a word jumble puzzle. These types of puzzles will help you develop your skills and get better at games like Words with Friends and Scrabble. With a word jumble puzzle, you start with a random scramble of letters and you have to find the word within the jumble. The difference between an anagram and a word jumble is that with an anagram you start with an existing word and you jumble the letters to create new ones. Anagrams are all the words that can be created with the letters of one word or phrase. Jumble games involve the skill of solving anagrams. Other times, all you have are the jumbled letters. Sometimes, clues are provided to help you figure out the puzzle. Jumble Solver helps you solve such puzzles faster by using some clue such as scrambled letters or so.Ī Jumble or Scramble Word Game is a game where a mixed up set of letters are provided and you have to unscramble the letters to find the word.

Iota crypto price prediction8/1/2023 Hathor’s tokenomics can be a little complicated, but I’ll break it down as much as possible. The quick and easy token creation and HTR lock-up, if done enough, will lower the circulating supply and decrease inflation. And if you burn your tokens, your HTR will be returned. To do so, stake 1% in HTR of the number of tokens you wish to create. Hathor also has a unique custom token creation option. It’ll be exciting to see how they manage to pull the project off. And HathorSwap, a native alternative to Atomic Swaps, is in development. Other separate tokens can be exchanged on the same transaction to increase security and efficiency. The contracts use oracles to ensure that contracts have a reliable data source.Ītomic Swaps is also integrated with the Hathor network. Hathor also uses Nano-Contracts, similar to the Smart Contracts on Ethereum, but with a lot lower fees and computation power. This ensures that rewards are fairly distributed without sacrificing decentralization. The consensus mechanism links with Bitcoin and Litecoin Mining rewards. In a way, Hafthor’s architecture is a combination of Bitcoin and IOTA.Īs we mentioned earlier, Hathor, because of its DAG technology, uses Proof of Work mining. Hathor aims to solve IOTA’s issues, such as their DAG solution not being efficient enough when the transaction per second is small. According to the executive summary, their main inspiration for the project is IOTA. Hathor claims to have chosen this alternative because it is scalable, decentralized, and efficient. And the DAG comes into play when it increases. The blockchain makes the transactions safe if the number of transactions per second is small. The project does so by including a chain of mined blocks in every DAG of transactions. If you found this article interesting, here you can find more Ethereum news.Hathor aims to solve scalability and decentralization maintenance among crypto projects, also known as the blockchain trilemma. If you wish to make a purchase or investment we recommend that you always conduct your research.

This outlook will only change if there is a flash crash below the $1.740 and $1,700 support zone at the back of expanding volumes. Presently, the selling momentum is dropping as bear bars diverge from the lower BB a possible relief for ETH holders. If anything, this can allow traders to double down in anticipation of buy trend continuation. It means the uptrend remains, and the contraction is welcomed. It follows the sharp expansion of prices from mid-March 2023 that saw the coin float to $2,100.Īt spot rates, ETH is retesting February highs, which is critical for buyers. Overall, reading from the top-down preview, Ethereum is in an uptrend. As L2Beat data shows, Arbitrum manages assets worth over $5.5 billion, almost thrice the total value locked (TVL) in Optimism. Whether Optimism will flip Arbitrum as the most actively used layer-2 platform remains to be seen. Optimism also plans to introduce enhancements that improve security and usability. The upgrade is set for early June and could lay the foundation that makes Optimism even cheaper to transact on. Meanwhile, as Ethereum finds relief, Optimism, a layer-2 scaling platform, plans to integrate enhancement set out under the Bedrock release. The shift away from the decentralized exchange, Uniswap, seemed to have helped relieve the network from the unsustainably high Gas fees that rocked the platform, allowing critics to lambast the network’s scalability efforts. MemeCoin FOMO Subsides as Optimism Plans For Bedrockįundamentally, Ethereum remains the leading smart contracting platform, judging by the activity and popularity of some of its projects.Īlthough the fear of missing out (FOMO) in meme coins is subsiding, some tokens, including PEPE and LADYS, are drawing decent volumes in centralized exchanges. This is considering the divergence from the lower BB. It may signal the continuation of selling pressure from mid-April 2023.ĮTH prices are now consolidating with clear caps, albeit with reduced selling momentum. However, for this to materialize and support conservative traders’ outlook, there must be a solid close below $1,740 or last week’s lows. As it is currently, traders may begin searching for entries to short, at least for now. MemeCoin FOMO Subsides as Optimism Plans For BedrockĮthereum (ETH) remains under pressure, finding strong resistance between the $1,850 and $1,900 zone.

Path finder international kenya7/31/2023 Our work ensures millions of women, men, and young people are able to choose their own paths forward.Īnalyzes and prepares financial reports, optimizes workflow, and harmonizes processes to ensure the accurate and timely close. Together, we expand access to contraception, promote healthy pregnancies, save women’s lives, and stop the spread of new HIV infections, wherever the need is most urgent. Since 1957, we have partnered with local governments, communities, and health systems in developing countries to remove barriers to critical sexual and reproductive health services. The researcher suggested that further studies be conducted.Pathfinder International is driven by the conviction that all people, regardless of where they live, have the right to decide whether and when to have children, to exist free from fear and stigma, and to lead the lives they choose. The study concluded that electronic procurement and performance of organizations was indeed related and it was recommended that all procurement systems be made mandatory and that the procurement teams be well trained on all systems used to ensure efficiency is achieved through use of e-procurement. The study revealed that there was a strong significant correlation between e-sourcing and performance, a medium significant correlation between e-ordering and performance, a strong significant correlation between e-invoicing and performance and a strong significant correlation between e-payment and performance. All ethical considerations were observed especially confidentiality, anonymity, consent and avoidance of biasness. Inferential statistics such as correlation and regression were applied to assess the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Descriptive statistics was presented in frequency distributions tables and percentages. Quantitative data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS Version 24 while qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis. Validity of the questionnaire were tested using content validity whereas reliability was tested using Cronbach’s Alpha. The study collected data through drop and pick method. Both open ended and close ended questionnaires were used to collect primary data. Census survey was employed whereby the entire population of 135 procurement staff were required to participate. The target population for the study was 135 participants. The study adopted descriptive research design. This study was guided by four theories namely, Disruptive Innovation Theory, Diffusion of Innovation Theory, Technology Acceptance Model Theory and Theory of Planned Behavior. The specific objectives for the study were to establish how e-sourcing, e-ordering, e-invoicing and e-payment relates to performance of an organization. The general objective of the study was to establish the relationship of electronic procurement and performance of organizations in non-governmental organizations in Kenya. Despite their crucial role in improving people’s lives and alleviating poverty, most non-governmental organizations have been recording poor performance. E-procurement delivers a very manageable and orderly method to provide a clear path in communicating with vendors during transactions. Electronic procurement involves more than online transactions. Electronic Procurement is very vital in achievement of organizations objectives. This study explored how electronic procurement and performance of organizations is related.

Stockunlimited ( ) is a website being operated by Stock Unlimited LLC. A Gradient Texture is the same, you only get greyscale colors from both outputs, but still a Color output is a vector.We hereby inform you on Our current policies and practices applicable to the processing of your personal data (“ Personal Data”) collected by Stock Unlimited LLC through the website (the “ Website”). Just keep in mind, a Color output gives a vector result and a Fac output gives a float value. This has something to do with chromatics, how color intensity and saturation are perceived and how they are displayed with Gamma correction and other things which are now too much explain and I'm not really an expert for this. A default color ramp with black and white on left and right end converts colors into grey values, but the output of the Fac value and Color converted to greyscale do not give the same result. However in some cases like the Noise Texture it is not the same. Plug a color into a single float socket: Blender calculates a grey value from these three channels and sets it as value for the input. Plug a greyscale value into a vector socket: automatically the value will be set on all three channels RGB or XYZ. Now in almost all cases Blender is doing this automatically. Or if a node only accepts vectors and you have a Fac output, you would need a Combine RGB/XYZ node and plug the greyscale value into all sockets to create a vector. One thing might be that if some nodes only accept single values as input you would have to take the Color and a Separate RGB/XYZ node to pick one of those values. I guess it is mostly to keep the texture nodes consistent to have both, a Color and a Fac output. X, it takes the X values and outputs them on R, G and B channel which only results in greyscale values as well. In case of the Wave Texture node this does not seem obvious, because when you choose an axis e.g. Which means Color gives you RGB values (which can be taken or interpreted as XYZ values where needed), whereas Fac gives a greyscale value between 0 and 1. It's the same as on other texture nodes, a Color output gives a 3-dimensional vector as output value, while the Fac gives a 1-dimensional floating point value as output.
