![]() ![]() HK Base - The Hong Kong base has the 4 square openings in the base where the torsion bar suspension was internally mounted. The LRW blue tinted USA windshield is attributed to be those intended for the Boss Hoss casting scheduled fr release in 1970. 'LRW' - louvered rear window and 'RRW' - ribbed rear window. There are two commonly accepted terms noted for this variation. A very late production run from the USA factory though featured a blue tinted window piece with a louvered rear window design element added. Windows - As was standard for Hot WHeels in 1968 HK windows are tinted blue and USA windows were clear. A rounded dash board design was also used. USA Interiors - Initially USA interiors were either white or brown (dark) and where of a one piece design with a matching color steering wheel. When new body colors were added to production runs white and dark interiors were introduced into final assembly. The Gold painted castings came with brown interiors with flat dashboards where the seperately cast black plastic steering wheels were inserted. HK Interiors - The Red painted castings from Hong Kong had a coordinated red interior with a separately cast black steering wheel inserted into the flat dashboard. Later this area was shortened and the fire wall detail eliminated. The earliest body castings featured the long engine bay design with a depicted fire wall detail visisble. USA Body - The USA first production paint colors were Red and Blue. The rear tail lights were also painted on by hand. The rear panels were initially painted to match the body color on early runs and later the gas cap (?) was painted black. HK Body - The first two painted Spectraflame runs in Hong Kong were Red and Gold. This design dubbed the 'OHS' (Open Hood Scoope) was changed to a closed air intake area in later runs. Adding time and expense to the production costs. This created overspray into the engine compartment that was then painted over by hand in silver. ![]() HOOD - The earliest Hong Kong hood design featured a hood cut out for the intake openings. The Custom Mustang also featured larger sized wheel sets at the rear to obtain the desired Custom Calfifornia look adverstised on the card front -above the bubble - in 1968. Like most of the Custom castings, the 4 exhaust tips are visible just behind the front wheel openings on each side of the casting. Production is believed to have actually started in Hong Kong with with both designs undergoing many changes during the first year of subsequent production runs. And like other Hot Wheels custom castings, the Mustang featured an opening hood design with cast in place engine details, plastic interiors and glass, metal bodies and chassis with red stripped black walled tires with 5 spoke mag wheels. Individual production runs were done at both the HK and USA factory sites from 1968 to 1970. The type of Mustang featured in the movie Bullitt - driven by Steve McQueen as Detective Frank Bullitt. His design is based on the 1:1 1967 Mustang Fastback. The Custom Mustang was designed in house by Harry Bradly in 1966/67. Today the Mustang is now Known as one of the "Original Sixteen" or "Sweet Sixteen" releases from Mattels 1968 Hot Wheels diecast car series. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a memoir its a true story but be forewarned that it isn’t for the weak, these people went through horrible things, be ready to cry like i did.

![]() ![]() This was all during 1.0, that vanilla was messed up with performance. What changed? Do you notice the difference in performance just by having it installed, without viewing it with a tool? If not then I wouldn't keep spreading that. Originally posted by Jibbles:You sure were telling me something different when I brought up that mod a while back. What matters is if you are actually noticing the performance hit & if it's actually caused by a mod. Just try not have to have too many complex mods installed at once. The whole part about context matters a lot. I felt the need to clear the air there cause I kinda jumped the gun on that mod awhile back.Ī list won't help much and can most likely be inaccurate. Idk what it's like now, nor do I disagree that it can do complex things - Many people used Jecrells mods and didn't complain about it before then. Jecstools did have noticeable impact by itself at the time but so did hundreds of other mods yet the mods weren't really the problem at the time. You sure were telling me something different when I brought up that mod a while back. The only categorically "slow mod" out there I'm aware of is probably jecstools, just adding that alone to a save will have a noticeable effect on performance, even with no mods hooking into the features. Actually i just found out that this list is maintained by Dubs Mods itself on their discord Sometimes if you do X with Y mod it causes Z mod to spike in use for a bit, these situational slowdowns if impactful are usually pretty easy to figure out with familiarity with your mod list.

The mods that do hook into the features tend to slow things down even more, like the vampire mod for example. ![]() That's the danger of giving players tools like that. That's not really a list of slow mods, it's a list put together by somebody using Dubs Performance Analyzer and picking out spikes in mod processes, for the most part without really understanding the context. Some of it is outdated, so I recommend confirming issues with Dubs Performance Analyzer yourself before removing something you rely on.

For these rankings, this was the criteria I largely focused on: That said, I do think it is possible to offer not just an opinion on which class is best (obviously) but a fairly reasonable take on that topic so long as you base your thoughts on certain criteria. BG 3 is a remarkably well-balanced game that is designed to incorporate a wide variety of playstyles. As such, it shouldn’t surprise you to learn that many fans are debating over (or simply wondering about) which Baldur’s Gate 3 class is the best.Īs you probably already guessed, the best class in Baldur’s Gate 3 is the one you think you will enjoy playing the most. Well, to be more accurate, it really just taps into the tabletop depth of the class concept, but by doing so, it makes picking a class as difficult as it has ever been. IGN gave it a 10/10, praising its "crunchy, tactical RPG combat, a memorable story with complex characters, highly polished cinematic presentation, and a world that always rewards exploration and creativity.While picking a class is a vital part of most role-playing games, Baldur’s Gate 3 takes that classic genre concept to a new level. ![]() Larian is set to announce Baldur’s Gate 3’s long-awaited Xbox release date at the awards show on December 7, and has even started to tease its "next big game".īaldur's Gate 3, of course, has been a massive commercial and critical success since its official release on PC in August. ![]() Larian is currently on a victory lap following the breakout success of Baldur's Gate 3, with seven wins at the recent Golden Joysticks and eight nominations at the upcoming Game Awards.

Much transpires while we are asleep, and the question is no longer whether sleep does something, but exactly what it does. Within an evolutionary framework, the simple fact that we spend about a third of our lives asleep suggests that sleep is more than a necessary evil. “They think that sleep is wasted time.” But sleep is not merely “down time” between episodes of being alive. When people make the unlikely claim that they get by on four hours of sleep per night, Stickgold often asks if they worry about what they are losing. “Not unless you think sleep does something.” “No-no reason at all not to,” Stickgold told the psychiatrist. military is sinking millions of dollars into research on modafinil, trying to see if they can keep soldiers awake and on duty-in Iraq, for example-for 80 out of 88 hours: two 40-hour shifts separated by eight hours of sleep. They do not produce normal sleep.” Even so, the U.S. “That said, all sleeping medications more or less derange your normal sleep patterns. “There’s no buzz, no crash, and it’s not clear that the body tries to make up the lost sleep,” reports Stickgold. In contrast to wakefulness-producing stimulants like amphetamines, modafinil (medically indicated for narcolepsy and tiredness secondary to multiple sclerosis and depression) does not seem to impair judgment or produce jitters. Used as an aid to prolonged study, modafinil is tantamount to a “performance-enhancing” drug-one of those controversial, and often illegal, boosters used by some athletes. The question resonated on several levels. He asked whether Stickgold knew of any reason not to prescribe modafinil, a new wakefulness-promoting drug, to a Harvard undergraduate facing a lot of academic work in exam period. Fortunately, chronic insomnia can almost always be corrected with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).Not long ago, a psychiatrist in private practice telephoned associate professor of psychiatry Robert Stickgold, a cognitive neuroscientist specializing in sleep research. Insomnia only becomes problematic when it’s chronic, stretching over periods of months or years. Such disruptions are a natural response to life changes. Usually it starts as short-term insomnia lasting a period of days or weeks, which isn’t a problem in itself. Millions of people in the US alone suffer from insomnia. Drawing on years of research he conducted at Harvard Medical School, Jacobs developed a more effective six-week course based on the power of positive thinking. Insomnia is a widespread problem that’s often treated with dangerous prescription drugs, if it’s treated at all. Jacobs is a primer on sleeplessness and how to correct it. Say Good Night to Insomnia (1998) by sleep doctor Gregg D. In this updated edition, Jacobs surveys the limitations and dangers of the new generation of sleeping pills, dispels misleading and confusing claims about sleep and health, and shares cutting-edge research on insomnia that proves his approach is more effective than sleeping pills. He provides techniques for eliminating sleeping pills establishing sleep-promoting behaviors and lifestyle practices and improving relaxation, reducing stress, and changing negative thoughts about sleep. ![]() Jacobs's program, developed and tested at Harvard Medical School and based on cognitive behavioral therapy, has been shown to improve sleep long-term in 80 percent of patients, making it the gold standard for treatment.

Then, go through all tasks, and assign one of the tags listed above to each of them (if you need any help with this concept, do a quick google search or read one of those articles). That’s basically it, and my GTD-Setup in Evernote is ridiculously simple:Ĭapture all your tasks in your Inbox. I decide when - in a rough sense - I should do things without scheduling them. I do not schedule my Todos, unless they are time-sensitive.Team-wide task tracking notwithstanding, I use one system and only one system for my personal tasks. I have a Single Source of Truth for all my commitments.It counts.īut what stuck with me are a few key ideas David lays out, and they led me to a bastardized GTD that works for me. We’re not talking Marie Kondo-style organized, but still. I am busy, but I am not one of those super-overworked executives he uses as examples in his books. I never was able to follow Davids rules religiously, and I doubt that I was the main target audience of his system. The buzz about David Allens Getting Things Done might have fizzled out a couple years ago (and people now rather rave about slack and bitcoin). If a task is not in Evernote, it doesn’t exist. I keep everything I have to work on in my Evernote account. After a short transition period, Evernote completely replaced all other personal task trackers for me. Previously, I used the excellent Things app to track my tasks, but I somehow found it lacking. I’ve started using Evernote as my To-Do list a couple of years ago. But it actually can be so much more.Ī note: I am not affiliated with Evernote except from being a paying customer of theirs. In case you haven’t heard about Evernote, it is a note taking application. Reflecting that, here’s what Evernote does for me, and maybe can do for you, too.

Nail rigs and dab pens follow the same method: an often-metal heating element gets heated to a point where it vaporizes THC concentrates, making an inhalable vapor.Ī dab pen uses this same function with its internal heating chamber.
