Slik graphics gold9/22/2023 ![]() On screen colours and patterns are the best representation of the decal as you will receive it. Simply clean the surface diligently from any grease, lubricant, or dirt with the included Decal Install Cleaning Wipe and then align and apply your decals. Once you receive your decals, installation is a breeze. Pro-grade laminated vinyl is very durable at a 7 year rated lifespan and includes protection from UV light as well as scuffs, and scratches. Slik mountain bike decals are printed on Pro-grade vinyl and then laminated to your selected finish. At Slik a combination of custom, bike-decal specific, printing machines designed for vibrant colours, colour matching, and pecision within a controlled environment ensure that we consistently deliver the highest level product. Refined manufacturing techniques and conditions are essential to producing the highest quality decals and stickers. Slik has been the choice of riders, shops, pros, and racing teams for over a decade. Once youve chosen, well take care of the rest. ![]() Colour match your bike, choose from custom patterns, or request a wild Pantone colour. Its up to you! The Slik decal customiser is one of a kind and is built for you to explore your creativity. The Yeti turquoise I chose is just a tad brither than the Yeti frame, but overall a nice match.Slik Graphics mountain bike decal kit designed for Black RockShox Super Deluxe Rear Shock.Ĭustom As Standard. ![]() The print and vinyl quality is impeccable, couldn't be better! Crips colors, perfect edges and all cuts 100%, nice job! The only grip I have is that the vinyl they use is ever so slightly thicker than the OE Fox stuff, so the white edges are just slightly visible after the decals have been applied. The fork decal kits cost around 25€ including shipping in Europe, which is about the same as the OE Fox decal kits with the added benefit of fully customizable colors. I think this is a nice touch to slightly differentiate your bike from others. I decided to add the text "LUMIMIES" to mine, which means Yeti in Finnish. Only the 36 and Fox logo decals are customizable, everything else comes as standard. The kit comes pre-cut to 100% the same size as the original fox decals and comes with all the decals for the lowers. I ordered mine in a special colorway Yeti Turquoise & metallic gold, and opted for their F ox 36 2018 Yeti Edition Decal Kit meant for black forks. Fox use a vinyl that's very thing and stretchy, so without heating it would only come off in small pieces. I found the old decals easiest to remove with the help of a hot air gun. Everything is pre-cut and 100% the same size as the original Fox decals, so you just apply the stencils according to the existing decals, peel off the old, clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol and carefully apply the new decals. Installing the decals is a breeze with the included stencilcs. Fully custom requests can also be accommodated. They offer a nice range of colors, including metallic and hi-viz, and bespoke kits for different forks, cranks, wheels, etc. Located in Sweden, Slik Graphics have been in the business since 2007 and specialize in fully customizable decals for bikes. ![]() The standard graphics are not bad and nicely subdued, so they match more or less any color scheme, but I wanted a bit more and decided to hit up Slik Graphics, whom my friends and I have used several times in the past for fork, crank and wheel decals. My SB150 came with the standard Fox 36 GRIP 2 decals as I bought my bike as a frameset that I built up myself. OK, it's not written in any "official" rulebook, but members of the Tribe are still known for doing this, myself included. Every Yeti rider knows appearances are everything and matchy-matchy is the name of the game. ![]()

Tennis manager 2021 tips9/22/2023 ![]() Hitting balls three to six feet over the net with topspin is a great choice in this zone because it may push your opponent back near the defensive zone and result in your opponent hitting the ball short. This keeps your opponent at bay, needing to take on additional risk if they decide to go for an aggressive ball.

Swifty tough as nails9/22/2023 ![]() And that’s it, the teams for the entire season are set.īut the episode isn’t over yet. Meanwhile, Liz representing Dirty Hands chooses Construction Foreman Angel Castillo, Cyril, Mariner Tara Alverson, Transport Track Repair Iraida Mujica, and ends up with last pick Patrick. Michael decided to rep Savage Crew and ends up picking Construction Superintendent Scott Henry, Pipe Welder Sarah Burkett, Steelworker Swifty Sanders, Merryl, and Celi. This time around, the teams don’t get to pick their names instead, they’re inheriting Savage Crew and Dirty Hands from season 1 as a legacy thing, which is an interesting choice on production’s part. Everyone else completes the task strong, even Celi who ends up in last place. Michael meanwhile has a moment where he runs out of gas mid challenge, exhausted, but manages to keep going and finish the job for the win. Liz particularly comes off as a very strong competitor, reminding me a lot of Linda from season 1, and she only loses to Michael because she’s ounces short and has to mix an extra batch of cement. Yes, there’s a lot of nicknames on this season. Bricklayer Michael "Eyebrows" Guerriero and Cement Mason Liz “Knuckles” Nichols end up winning the challenge, helped by their experience in the cement field. This is a shame, as it gives the team captains way less information about people’s strengths and weaknesses, only testing the ability to smash blocks into aggregate and mix and pour fresh cement into a mold. Unlike the first season, which had two separate challenges to determine team captains, this time there’s only one challenge, with the top two picking teams. The first challenge begins, which is a cement crafting obstacle course. The rest are your standard blue collar jobs, although of note is UPS Delivery Driver Patrick "Freight Train" Hargan, a job you wouldn’t expect on a show like this but makes sense in terms of toughness and of course, I can’t forget travel nurse Aracelis "Celi" Garcia, another atypical job for this type of show, but given she’s worked on a COVID-19 task force it’s great representation of a different type of toughness very revenant in today’s world. From first glance, the cast is great I’m from Hawaii myself, so I gotta root for lineman Cyril “Zeus” Ontai III, but we’re also got Merryl Tengesdal, famous for being the first and only African American woman to fly an Air Force U-2 spy plane. We start with 12 new contestants from all walks of life, and the show’s format really hasn’t changed since last season same teams, same individual challenge, same monetary prize. Hey! Noticed there wasn’t too much discussion on the new season of Tough as Nails, so here’s a recap / analysis thread for the first two episodes of season 2. ![]()

Vsee video call9/22/2023 ![]() ![]() And, quite honestly, he’s a bit creepy and you really just don’t want to hear him breathe over the microphone. “Dang it! I’ll just call him up and ask him!” Ah, but what if he’s not in? Not answering? Nowhere to be found. You may think that if you need an answer NOW!, you should stick with synchronous communication. Now that we know the landscape, when is the best time to use each tool? In sychronous communication, all parties are working simultaneously (synchronously) on the discussion, whereas in asynchronous communication, parties are working on different parts of the discussion at different times (asynchronously). Each step in an asynchronous dialogue can take from seconds to days (or longer) to be conveyed. The latter two are asynchronous because each time content is conveyed there may be a significant amount of time before it is received and responded to. We call the first two (Video and Audio) synchronous because there is an immediate dialogue points are conveyed and responded to immediately. ![]() I hope we can open that dialogue here.īefore the tips, lets look at the mediums we usually communicate through: Video (with Audio), Audio only (phone/VOIP), email, and instant messaging (IM/chat/SMS). I can find studies that show video is nearly identical with face-to-face for gaining trust, but I’ve found little that shows which tool is best to use when. There’s unfortunately not a lot of hard evidence out there for how best to leverage our varying communication and collaborative tools. Three minutes later, you both have all the answers you wanted, and now sit there wondering why it took three days to conclude a three minute conversation. ![]() Three days of back-and-forth emails later, you get fed up with how slow the discussion is going and call the other person. You respond and ask for some clarification. Someone sends you an email asking you a question. ![]()

Olivia wilde jason sudeikis 20199/22/2023 ![]() After the film wrapped, the Rush actress praised his performance in a lengthy Instagram post. Wilde moved on with Harry Styles, whom she connected with while directing him in her upcoming film Don't Worry Darling. In November 2020, however, the pair split after nearly a decade together. "It gave me the courage to leave and brought me to the great love of my life.” “I’m so grateful for the pain and the heartbreak," she told Marie Claire in the same interview. While Wilde's first marriage ended in divorce, she still felt that it helped prepare for her next serious relationship. “So, it was like I had to be careful with it.” “I just had a hunch that the second I kissed her, I wasn’t going to end up kissing ever kissing anyone ever again,” he told Access Hollywood in August 2020. The Emmy winner also wanted to take his time with Wilde because he knew immediately that she was special. Sudeikis, for his part, was married to SNL writer Kay Cannon from 2004 to 2010. The Drinking Buddies star filed for divorce from Tao Ruspoli in March 2011 after nearly eight years of marriage. He seemed to really see me, see through the bulls–t.” "We were both seeing people but were single. “I was just learning to be by myself I’d been divorced nine months," the O.C. Both had already been married once, and the Booksmart director later said that was one reason she decided to take it slow. The duo met in May 2011 at a wrap party for the season 36 finale of Saturday Night Live, but they didn't start dating for another six months. Before Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde split, they weren't afraid to gush about their love for each other. “He didn’t have to join our circus, but he jumped on board with humility and grace, and blew us away every day with his talent, warmth, and ability to drive backwards.”Ĭredit: Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/ShutterstockĮverything Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis Have Said About Their Relationship Over the Years “He infused every scene with a nuanced sense of humanity,” she wrote in February 2021. Wilde moved on with Harry Styles, whom she connected with while directing him in her upcoming film Don’t Worry Darling. “Before you have a child, marriage is the ultimate commitment and promise to one another, and then once you have a child, it’s like, ‘Oh, we’re committed and promised already.’” ![]() “We are seriously connected,” she told Net-a-Porter’s Porter Edit in February 2016. In April 2014, the duo welcomed son Otis, while daughter Daisy followed in October 2016.Īfter the arrival of Otis, Wilde said that she felt children represented a more powerful commitment than a marriage certificate. The Horrible Bosses actor and the House alum announced their engagement in 2013 after two years together. “It gave me the courage to leave and brought me to the great love of my life.” “I’m so grateful for the pain and the heartbreak,” she told Marie Claire in the same interview.

Gentoo systemrescuecd9/22/2023 ![]() Google 'gentoo uefi boot issues' should give you some reading material.Īnd on this last note, if systemrescue disk has not been updated to be UEFI bootable, then obviously you will not be able to use such a disk without modding it. There are some actions you need to take to ensure a successful UEFI boot. If this doesn't help, take note that IIRC Gentoo doesn't support UEFI out of the box. SystemRescueCd Another alternative, SystemRescueCd, is a lightweight image built on the Gentoo Linux distribution. Take particular note to update the graphics card firmware as this is likely the issue. Documentation is being dumbed down on a daily basis. Hopefully the firmware release note will indicate that the firmware itself is UEFI compatible and signed but don't hold your breath. Start with system BIOS, then BMC, etc, etc, etc. It is based on the Gentoo Linux distribution and includes a wide variety of system administration and data recovery tools, such as GParted for partitioning, TestDisk for data recovery, and fsarchiver for. I suspect the likely culprit is that your graphics card VBIOS is not 'signed', and as such, UEFI stalls and you are left with a blank screen.Ī possible solution is to update all the firmware within your computer. SystemRescueCd is a free and open-source Linux-based live CD or USB drive that is designed for system administration and data recovery tasks. And i suspect that UEFI doesn't report what the problem is so it's difficult to know what component has been authenticated and who's hardware/firmware can't be authenticated. Description: SystemRescueCd is a Linux system rescue disk available as a. Likely the issue you are having is that UEFI starts the boot process and somewhere during the authentication of all the components needed to boot but prior to handing over full controll to the OS, one component can not be authenticated correctly. Just remember to use a 64bit live CD/DVD if you want to do a 64bit Gentoo. Such UEFI mechanisms mainly serve to lock users away from their own hardware/property with the carrot being pusdo security. No need for encrypted BIOS or complex keys/signed UEFI components/loaders, etc. ![]() Such 'old' mechanisms are simpler and IMHO provide better firmware security (especially when BIOS chip is socketted and a motherboard switch is needed to flash BIOS). I've almost just copied and pasted the text verbatim from the working copy I have on a bootable flash drive, I'm using the same files and everything, yet, for some reason it won't work.Luckily i have been able to avoid the complexity of UEFI as good'ol BIOS still serves me rather well. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get this to work yet for reasons I just can't quite figure out. It's a real pain having to boot it from a CD every time I need it (which has been a lot lately) though. ![]() In particular, it's the space I need as the harddrive in the system I wanted to copy this to is pretty small. The steps are to make a Gentoo Install inside a directory. ![]() This method saves me rather a lot of space versus the fully installed one and I don't have to have a seperate partition for it or anything. 8 Syslinux 9 Grub Overview This document will walk readers through the steps to create a Gentoo stage4 inside a squashfs and subsequently use it in a bootable ISO9660 image. Sad news, my beloved live CD to start off any new PC just released new 6.0.0 release, based on ArchLinux. ![]() Posted: Sun 2:41 am Post subject: SystemRescueCD quits Gentoo moves to ArchLinux. What I'm trying to do is copy just the compressed sysrcd.dat and necessary files to a harddrive partition and boot via syslinux. SystemRescueCD quits Gentoo moves to ArchLinux. It's a linux rescue disc (I believe specifically Gentoo) containing a number of tools that are just invaluable for fixing various things. By System Rescue CD, I'm referring to the program specifically named that: Those who aren't familiar might want to look it up as I've found it an invaluable tool for fixing a number of problems. ![]()

Twitch app sucks9/22/2023 ![]() ![]() I gave up using Twitch on a browser, it just sucks (and they keep adding more bloat. 'The internet', in this instance traffic facilitated by your ISP to Twitch. Contrast that to running it in unstream (the windows app). The cabling and connection from your domicile to the ISP. Your modem (and routers, if any) The associated wiring in your house or apartment. This event shouldn’t be a one-time thing, but occur maybe once every 6 months or once per Year to allow salty Sea Dogs to complete their missing twitch drop items. Theres a lot of variables with a connection.
