![]() How to Freeze Dry Candy Without a Machine? Food that has been heat-dehydrated is chewy, whereas freeze-dried food melts on your tongue. The meal has a very low water content at the end of the process. The food is dried in two cycles of pressure release and heat application. However, using heat to dehydrate food tends to caramelize any sugars and increase the chewiness of the final product.ĭepending on the product, food is cooled to -58 and -112 degrees Fahrenheit during the freeze-drying process such that it can only exist as a solid (rather than a gas or liquid). Continue reading if you want additional information on how to do this.Īlthough there are many uses for freeze drying, you are most likely familiar with it from items like freeze-dried fruit, the marshmallows in Lucky Charms, and “astronaut ice cream.” You can dehydrate food using a heat dehydrator to make meals like beef jerky. You can still do this if you don’t have freeze-drying equipment, but it will be more difficult, and the results might not be as good. In actuality, the Incas were the first to freeze-dry food (to preserve potatoes), and unquestionably they weren’t utilizing mechanical vacuum pumps. Even ice cream can be freeze-dried in 24-36 hours to make it shelf-stable for months or even years. ![]() Using a Harvest Right freeze-dryer, candy and sweets may be freeze-dried at home. You may consume meals, pastries, and candies that date back 25 years, thanks to freeze-drying! Even more amazing is that it will still taste and feel exactly as good as it did when it was first made, even after all that time. A very durable way of food preservation is freeze-drying. ![]()

![]() Rather than going with a pixel art style like some of its peers, Trinity Fusion uses smoother three-dimensional visuals. It's a whole lot of mumbo jumbo (the 1.0 update adds even more story for those who love lore logs). ![]() Players are dropped into a sci-fi story that vaguely involves the multiverse. Trinity Fusion replaces the crunchy pixel art fantasy of Dead Cells with something smoother and more futuristic - it's as if Angry Mob Games dipped its inspiration in chrome. Though its not as rich with secrets and certainly doesn't look as striking, its worth digging into for anyone itching for another game that'll have them saying "one more run" for hours. It has players hacking their way through 2D environments, building a character with temporary boosts each run, and nabbing some permanent abilities with acquired currencies. Trinity Fusion is a new roguelike by Angry Mob Games that exits early access today and sticks very close to the Dead Cells playbook. Luckily, there's an easy way to fill that gap, even if its a temporary fix. Of course, there's only so much of it I can play, especially as developer Motion Twin gets to work on its next game, Windblown. Whether I'm jumping in for a random run or checking out its excellent Return to Castlevania DLC, I'm always down for more of its 2D action formula. I even have an arcade cabinet in my apartment that runs it. The excellent roguelike has been a mainstay on my PC and Switch since it released. I'm probably not alone when I say that I can't get enough Dead Cells. Hello Games has suggested that it doesn't want an overly long marketing cycle for this title, so it is possible it could come out in 2024, but we will have to await an official announcement. There is no confirmed release date or window for Light No Fire. Here's everything we know for sure about Light No Fire. Of course, given the history of No Man's Sky's pre-release marketing and misleading statements on what was and was not possible at launch, some are a little weary of buying in too early. The shift from sci-fi to fantasy opens up a brand new avenue for Hello Games to experiment with new systems and mechanics. ![]() Light No Fire may not be trying to recreate the entire universe like its predecessor, and instead, it is remaining grounded on Earth, though it appears to be just as ambitious. ![]() That makes it fitting that the studio's next project was also revealed at the new iteration of the awards show, The Game Awards 2023. Hello Games burst onto the scene when it debuted its first project No Man's Sky, at the old Spike Game Awards. That means games already released or already in development in an older version of Unity won’t be subject to the fee. For developers using Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise, the Runtime Fee and applicability of Unity’s terms have been adjusted so that it only applies to games made on the next LTS version of Unity. In a blog post about the Runtime Fee changes, Unity’s Marc Whitten admitted that Unity “should have incorporated more of your feedback before announcing our new Runtime Fee policy.” UnityĪs for what’s changing, the blog post states confirms that there will be no Runtime Fees for games made on Unity Personal or for games that made less than $1 million over the last 12 months. Devs felt the plan had oversights concerning subscription services, charity bundles, and piracy. This decision was met with ire by game developers, who hated the short-notice, retroactive application. The Unity Runtime Fee was going to start charging developers up to a $0.20 fee every time someone installed their game. While the Runtime Fee isn’t completely going away, changes were made so it’s not as aggressive toward smaller developers and games that were already released. Unity has finally backtracked some of the policies related it the Unity Runtime Fee announced last week following a wave of backlash from game developers. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you want to make room on your device, you can always right-click the file and select Free up space, which sends it back to online-only.

It’s a fundamental change in the structure, every part of the code had to be rewritten to work in both modes. achieving better search results, being able to comment images through Facebook separately, using several hundreds of images in the same folder, to name a few. ![]() It’s because there are several scenarios when the separate slides mode is still beneficial, e.g. You might ask why did then Turtle introduce the traditional mode at all. A dynamic album is capable of making smooth transitions between the images, loading only the necessary components, an rendering a full folder only once. This is why Turtle skin was originally made dynamic. The downside is inherent in the web technology which doesn’t allow transitions between web pages, nothing can remain from a previous page (like background music), and need to build every page from ground, loading and rendering everything on a page again and again. Every page has a separate URL address, so you can bookmark or share images separately and can use external widgets which rely on the page address, for example Facebook commenting. In the traditional – separate slide pages – mode, the HTML page loads all the page components and all the widgets (like Facebook, Google +1, etc.) every time an image is loaded. Turn it on for the “Separate slide pages” mode – the default is still the dynamic mode. Here is the magic switch that decides between these modes in jAlbum, called “ Make slide pages“: I’ve seen a lot of confusion regarding these modes, so I decided to put up this blog post. Although this applies to any skin, I will talk specifically about the Turtle skin now, which has been enabled to generate traditional (separate slides) albums since version 4, just a few weeks ago. Sounds like a subtle technical detail but it has far reaching consequences. The “traditional” – one image per HTML page – and the “dynamic”, which changes the images on the same HTML page upon user interaction, utilizing Javascript.

![]() ![]() Nevertheless, individuals who have none of these risk factors may still become addicted, she added. “If you have more access to a drug, for example to a doctor’s prescription, you are more likely to be exposed to that drug and more likely to get addicted.” “One of the biggest risk factors for addiction that’s often overlooked is simple access,” Lembke said. Some hereditary risk factors include personal or family history with addiction to either opioids or other substances, including alcohol, and co-occurring mental illness, while environmental risk factors include early childhood trauma, poverty and unemployment. Anna Lembke, an associate professor and the chief of addiction medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The simplest definition of addiction is use despite consequences, Alexander said.Īnd while Percocet and other prescription opioids are highly addictive, individuals can have varying risks of addiction based on hereditary and environmental factors, said Dr. Sarah Wakeman, the medical director of the Substance Use Disorder Initiative at Massachusetts General Hospital, said national drug surveys often lump prescription drugs into one category rather than separate them by brand name.Īccording to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, an estimated 54 million people in the United States have used prescription drugs for nonmedical reasons at least once. “The opioids as a class are more similar than they are different,” he said.ĭr. Percocet is classified as a Schedule II drug by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, which means it a drug with “a high potential for abuse, with use potentially leading to severe psychological or physical dependence.”Īlexander said it is difficult to obtain accurate statistics on the number of people misusing Percocet because it not uncommon for individuals with an addiction to switch between opioids. In addition to euphoria and pain relief, Percocet may cause drowsiness, constipation, depression, memory problems, decreased testosterone, cardiac problems, bone problems, addiction and death. Those who take the drug may experience both short- and long-term effects. But unfortunately, it’s been vastly overused, as have all opioids.” “And so, for the right patient at the right time, it’s a remarkable medicine. “The value of Percocet or any medicine depends upon how its applied, how it’s used,” he said. Caleb Alexander, an associate professor of epidemiology and medicine at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the co-director of the school’s Center for Drug Safety and Effectiveness. Opioid history: From 'wonder drug' to abuse epidemicĪs is true of all medicines, opioids are not inherently good or bad, said Dr. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images) John Moore/Getty Images North America/Getty Images The CDC estimates that most new heroin addicts first became hooked on prescription pain medication before graduating to heroin, which is stronger and cheaper. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), announced guidelines for doctors to reduce the amount of opioid painkillers prescribed, in an effort to curb the epidemic. ![]() Communities nationwide are struggling with the unprecidented opioid pain pill and heroin addiction epidemic.

It's the same environments/areas used, they just have a different perspective and dialogue/text.īlue Shift and Half-Life also share this "different perspectives" in the opening train scene. In Half-Life you are Freeman jumping into the portal, but in Opposing Force you are Shepard seeing Freeman jump in. I guess a good way to look at it could be Half-Life: Opposing Force and Half-Life. Perhaps a sub-character that traverses the lands at the same time as the main hero (or villain) from PoE, but from a different perspective. Or an entirely new character who has an entirely different story within the world. That's kind of a campaign I'd like to do, but with one of the companions from PoE. Maybe you even skip Nashkel and go for Dynaheir with Minsc alone. By a chance the Bhaalspawn passes through and you accept the help, and then, as the Player, gets to decide whether to follow the Bhaalspawn or do some other quest. You go through the "main quest line" and eventually Dynaheir gets captured and you end up in Nashkel looking for help. ![]() You meet up with Minsc in Nashkel right? What if you could start as Minsc and Dynaheir somewhere else within the reaches of the Sword Coast, before meeting the Bhaalspawn. hmm it gets difficult to explain but okay: Not new environments or any of the like, simply put: a new story (new text, new background, new starting location, same world and Will this be possible in What do you think? Did you ever feel you wanted to break off from the Bhaalspawn story and play or even create a different What I kind of envision with my question is a sort of. ![]() But there is a bit of a charm to be able to do this, to build a new campaign. In Neverwinter Nights (1 & 2) these were called something but I don't remember, "modules"? Ah, I forgot. Being able to make new quest-trees and rules. But be another character traversing the lands, having a different agenda and goal. ![]() So what I am wondering is, will it be possible to "change" story? To be able to write one of your own, change the starting location (still the same world of course and the same areas). But whatever you did, you were still starting off as the Bhaalspawn. As we know, the IE games were moddable, you could add in Quests, mess around with the rules a bit, add NPC's, and various other things. ![]() ![]() ![]() Since the code base is the same, it also requires granting read-write-execute permission to a set of developers, and this adds the pressure of someone managing permissions so that the code base is not compromised, which adds more complexity. This requires a lot of self-discipline on the part of developers and often leads to mistakes. ![]() While this method can work, it is inefficient as many near-identical copies of the program have to be maintained. This simple approach has been used in many large software projects. It may also be necessary to develop two versions of the software concurrently: for instance, where one version has bugs fixed, but no new features ( branch), while the other version is where new features are worked on ( trunk).Īt the simplest level, developers could simply retain multiple copies of the different versions of the program, and label them appropriately. Therefore, for the purposes of locating and fixing bugs, it is vitally important to be able to retrieve and run different versions of the software to determine in which version(s) the problem occurs. ![]() Bugs or features of the software are often only present in certain versions (because of the fixing of some problems and the introduction of others as the program develops). Software developers sometimes use revision control software to maintain documentation and configuration files as well as source code.Īs teams design, develop and deploy software, it is common for multiple versions of the same software to be deployed in different sites and for the software's developers to be working simultaneously on updates. In computer software engineering, revision control is any kind of practice that tracks and provides control over changes to source code. Revision control enables reverting a document to a previous revision, which is critical for allowing editors to track each other's edits, correct mistakes, and defend against vandalism and spamming in wikis. ![]() Version control systems are most commonly run as stand-alone applications, but revision control is also embedded in various types of software, such as word processors and spreadsheets, collaborative web docs, and content management systems, e.g., Wikipedia's page history. Today, the most capable (as well as complex) revision control systems are those used in software development, where a team of people may concurrently make changes to the same files. The numbering of book editions and of specification revisions are examples that date back to the print-only era. The need for a logical way to organize and control revisions has existed for almost as long as writing has existed, but revision control became much more important, and complicated, when the era of computing began. Revisions can be compared, restored, and, with some types of files, merged. Each revision is associated with a timestamp and the person making the change. When the first change is made, the resulting set is "revision 2", and so on. For example, an initial set of files is "revision 1". Ĭhanges are usually identified by a number or letter code, termed the "revision number", "revision level", or simply "revision". Version control is a component of software configuration management. In software engineering, version control (also known as revision control, source control, or source code management) is a class of systems responsible for managing changes to computer programs, documents, large web sites, or other collections of information.
