Ur 3 stacks go after their homelands so they don't come after you When stack comes to invade recruit an old lord and buy those RR units to defend town. Just build economy buildings and defense towers incase attacked. Rest are money makers so u can get 3 stacks. Have 1 province be your army making province. I'll probably be able to rally some armies back home with money I get from ravaging the Empire so any treachery can be met swiftly by raising a local army. I worry Bretonnians might come for me but everyone else is covered or isolationist at the moment. Therefore, the only one without an enemy was the Empire and I'm currently in a mad frenzy to ransack my way towards Altdorf and take it, destroying the Reikland faction and preventing the Empire confederation before it starts. Thus, our relations are rising and they might prove a valuable ally against the HE if they become a threat. Hellpit is a useful catspaw.ĭark Elves were more interested in killing each other and Aghol so I made some treaties, that is I joined their war against Khatep if they joined my war against Lothern. Kislev and Kraka Drak were occupied by Hellpit so the east was secure.

In that way, a bundle of sunlight now pushes in my direction. All tired out from having fun I'm sure that we won't remember the frighteningly blue sky. We're being pulled to the same level, to be equals. We piled up the bricks we've forgotten and then tore them back down.

I have used motorcycles a lot on farms, and for other work, especially here in Thailand. I enjoy motorcycling, but don't really see motorcycles just as a hobby. The CG 125 remained in production for many years. Despite being ok at what it could do, that quick wear cam bearing if oil changes were not done frequently (every 1,000 km) was was really a design flaw. Bikes are generally much better to ride and easier to maintain these days. None the less, I feel it is good to see ideas tried. I certainly don't live in the "good old days", but at the same time I don't think all modern developments are the right way to go. But I am still learning, and like to keep up with developments. Being a farm boy I am interested in machinery too, and have done a lot of my own maintenance. I guess having been riding for most of the 45 years since I first got on a motorcycle I have picked up a bit of information. With water cooling and all the other benefits of modern technology, it should be able to run for long periods at moderate highway speeds without any problem. Wearing an open face helmet, I get tired quite quickly going faster for any length of time.įast forward to the CBR250R, which I would call a middle-weight motorcycle. On highways 110 km/h was enough sustained speed for me. The CB250RS (air-cooled single) I had was said to be good for about 145 km/h, but I spent most of my time on byways, seldom exceeding 90 km/h. With better temperature control than an air cooled bike, they could be manufactured to greater tolerances, and could easily sustain highway speeds of 120 km/h or more. In the mid 80's all the motorcycle manufacturers in Thailand introduced water-cooled 125 and 150 cc two stroke machines. About 12 years later I returned to visit old friends, and the Yamaha was still going, still used daily. I just made sure my highway journeys were in the cooler morning and evening hours. The engine rattled a bit after that, but served me ok for the remaining year or so that I was there. I stopped for a while, to let the engine cool down, then carried on home. I engaged the clutch again abruptly, which bumped the piston back into action (I would not have done that on a four stroke). I had the clutch disengaged promptly, which allowed the rear wheel to turn again, and got on to the hard shoulder. Traveling at about 90 km/h the engine seized, which made things a little interesting there was a large bus not far behind me. One day I finished early, and was returning during the hottest part of the day. A one or two days a week I covered about 30 km of highway to an area where I would work most of the day, traveling on dirt roads, and return in the cool of the evening. In the 1980's I worked up country in Thailand and was supplied with a new Yamaha 100 (two stroke) for my job. However ridden within their design limits, engine life came down to maintenance, not how they were used. On the CB the overhead camshaft bearings would wear quickly if timely oil changes were neglected. The Honda CB and CG 125 singles, introduced in the 1970's, were good for 110 km/h and could sustain 80 km/h for long distances. They were typical of small bikes of their time. Ride them fast(ish) for too long and the engine would seize. Ride them too slow and the spark plug would become fouled. They did not take long to become clapped out. Cheap and cheerful in their time, but not what you would call quality machines. I rode a couple of clapped out BSA Bantams (two stroke) back in the late '60s and the '70s. Years ago small singles were certainly not up to highway travel. It is good to see some common sense on this thread. Flex Connections (and a couple other things) with the same linkage can be selected with Shift+click. Also works for Motor Linkage on powered pivots and Channel on Prox SensorĪdded some inherited velocity to some particles (blaster, weapon fire, and thrusters)įlex Panels/Lights/Triangles become a bit easier to use in awkward locations with a depth offset.

Increased damage/force to automobiles from collisions at high speeds So doing structure-climbing vehicles/machines is a lot easier now, and the Hook Launcher fails to stay attached a lot less often. Structures were taking too much damage from ropes of all sorts, and the Attacher damage to structures is now adjustable. The rest are about improving the Winch/Hook Launcher/Attacher, though they also affect ropes. The first two changes were requests that made sense, and let you do more customization with suspensions and treads. Increased max starting position to 50 (from 12) for Winch This is probably the last significant vehicle color-related update until a custom color editor is added (not sure if that'll be before or after 1.0).Īdded damper mod setting to suspension partsĪdded TREAD COLLIDER as a material override (collides with treads and other tread colliders, but not other player parts)Īdded advanced option to reduce structure damage from attacherĬhanged Slippery material override to do significantly reduced damage to structuresĬhanged ropes to do a lot less damage to structuresĬhanged one end of resizing rope to have a better joint anchor position (less awkward skewing) I expect some people will use the additional colors as essentially "selection groups" rather than colors, as you can set all the slots to the same color. It appears to be fully working though, and combines nicely with other recent updates that added more colors and made it possible to select all parts of the same color (Shift+click on a color). Just a quick mention here: If anything is going to have a bad bug in this update, it's probably this. The higher the values, the more rotational inertia the body will appear to have in those specific axes. These adjust how much the rigidbody resists rotation in those directions. Both of these values are often used to make cars drive better in games. CoM means Center of Mass, and it moves the center of mass down, relative to how the rigidbody starts in the world. Bonus Gravity is a bonus multiplier on top of the normal gravity settings (if the Sandbox gravity is 0, this does nothing). The next settings are Bonus Gravity and CoM Y-Offset. This setting "spreads" to other rigidbodies more than the other settings due to how physics work under the hood. Bonus Solver makes the physics run more sub-steps, and is only recommended for stabilizing joints (reinforcing a joint is recommended before using this, and combining them does result in stiffer/more stable joints). They essentially act as additional drag for rotation/movement. The 1st two settings (Move/Spin Dampen) are the same as those in the Gyroscope but with a higher max value. This one lets you adjust the physics of the attached rigidbody more directly. In single-axis mode, it can use dual outputs, so rotation in one direction or another can be measured separately. In the other 3 single-axis modes (X/Y/Z), it measures how fast the rigidbody is rotating *relative to the Rotation Sensor's orientation*. In ANY mode, it measures the total rotation speed regardless of axis/direction. The Rotation sensor measures the rotation speed (in radians/sec) of the rigidbody it's attached to, and outputs 1 or 2 values based on the rotation. There are two all-new parts in this update focused on giving more precise control over physics/controls. Adjust some physics properties of the attached rigidbody (velocity damping, gravity, center of mass, inertia tensor) Senses rotation around an axis (or overall speed)Īdded new part: Physics Modifier (flight) We'll break down the full changelist and go over some of the elements/changes in more detail.

The result is a panoramic, expansive album, 53 minutes that manages to be both epic and intimate. We just worked there, doing back-up vocals and handclaps and all the shit we used to do when we were younger.” And then it was to Los Angeles, where the album was mixed. “It was very beautiful the way that it ended in Charlie’s little rehearsal garage space,” Drew says, “after going to all these studios. Recording finally began in April 2016 at The Bathouse studio on the shores of Lake Ontario, with later sessions in Toronto and Montreal, before the group went right back to basics. Then we set up shop in my living room and we were starting to come together in a very familiar kind of way, jamming in the living room, eating meals in the kitchen together, because that’s what the band is about: ‘Hey, let’s all get on the same page and get the energies flowing in the same direction.’” Because I think we’ve always been a band that’s been a celebration.“Ĭanning picks up the story: “By autumn of 2015 we had started getting together and trying some ideas out, just getting back in that jam space, in Charles’ garage. Injection of positivity: “It just sort of made us want to go out there and play. A turning point for Drew came with the Paris terror attacks of November 2015, which made him feel the world needed an Drew’s co-founder Brendan Canning was keen, but Drew and fellow BSS lifer Charles Spearin took more persuading. “He just didn’t give up he just kept saying, ‘You’ve got to strike, you’ve got to do this, the time is now,’ and so finally we agreed.”Īs might be expected to be the case with a many-headed hydra of a group, getting all the principals to agree wasn’t easy. “He started showing up at our label, asking if we were going to make an album,” Drew recalls. But the idea that they might turn their hand to something more than greatest-hits sets had been stirring since November 2014, when producer Joe Chiccarelli told Drew the group needed to make a new album. Ñ the odd festival show here and there, preferably ones that involved the least possible travelling. Its title, Drew says, captured what he wanted people to feel about the group’s comeback, and how they sound playing together again: “It’s just such a wonderful sentiment about us, coming in like a hug of thunder.”īroken Social Scene had reconvened, in varying forms, several times over the past four years Ñ a song that will become as beloved as “Anthems For a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl” from their breakthrough album, You Forgot It In People. The title track on its own might just be the best thing you will hear all year It is righteous but warm, angry but loving, melodic but uncompromising. On Hug of Thunder the 15 members of Broken Social Scene – well, the 15 who play on the record, including returnees Leslie Feist and Emily Haines – refract their varying emotions, methods and techniques into something that doesn’t just equal their other albums, but surpasses them. They have that right because they have created one of 2017’s most sparkling, multi-faceted albums. But with Hug of Thunder, the fifth Broken Social Scene album, Drew and his bandmates have a right to feel presumptuous. “I don’t want to go out there being presumptuous,” Kevin Drew says, “because, I’ve worn those presumptuous shoes before, and you don’t want it to feel like, ‘Oh, what a let-down.’” That’s the fear when you bring back one of music’s most beloved names seven years after their last album. By turning a crank, one moved a pointer, which clicked into place to show the phase of the moon, the location of the planets, and could also calculate an eclipse.Īrchimedes is only one contender as the inventor of the device as it has also been attributed to Hipparchus of Nicea (l. The device relied on Babylonian and Egyptian astronomical principles but used letters from the Greek alphabet and was manufactured in Greece. The device, discovered in 1901 off the Greek island of Antikythera, dates to the late 2nd century/early 1st century BCE and was used to calculate the position of the sun, moon, and planets. The Antikythera mechanism (also known as the Antikythera device) is believed to be the world's first analogue computer. 106-43 BCE) is cited by modern-day scholars as suggesting Archimedes as the most likely inventor of the Antikythera mechanism. This mention of the devices by the later writer and orator Cicero (l. At least one of these devices is described as a bronze sphere which, when turned, showed the planetary positions and how they revolved around the earth (as the earth was understood as the center of the universe at that time). (Livingstone, 125)Īrchimedes is said to have invented astronomical devices which could identify the positions and motions of the sun, moon, and planets. It also contains the important reference to the heliocentric theory of the universe put forward by Aristarchus of Samos in a book of 'hypotheses', as well as historical details of previous attempts to measure the size of the earth and to give the sizes and distances of the sun and moon. The Sandreckoner is remarkable for the development in it of a system for expressing very large numbers by orders and periods based on powers of myriad-myriads. The work is best known for preserving the heliocentric model proposed by the astronomer Aristarchus of Samos (l. The title comes from his attempt to determine how many grains of sand would fill the universe and, to do this, he needed to know how large the universe was. Archimedes is said to have written a number of works on astronomy, alluded to by later writers, but none of these have survived except his Sand-Reckoner, which calculated the size of the universe. It is likely that both Conon and Eratosthenes influenced Archimedes in the disciplines of mathematics and astronomy, but any suggestion on how great that influence may have been is speculative. The details of these relationships are unknown, but Archimedes admired Eratosthenes well enough to dedicate his work The Method to him. Conon was a well-respected astronomer and mathematician, and Eratosthenes was head of the Library of Alexandria and a polymath who first calculated the circumference of the earth. In Alexandria, he became friends with Eratosthenes of Cyrene and Conon of Samos, both leading intellectuals of the city. At some point, his father sent him to Alexandria which, at that time, was developing as an intellectual center, rivaling Athens, under the Ptolemaic Dynasty (323-30 BCE). |
