In 4 levels, he’ll get Skill Artistry and Mastery, a skill-related bonus feat, and Sustaining Presence for adding Charisma to Fortitude saves. The flavour of the class fits his scoundrel side.Īs soon as he qualifies, he gets into Exemplar, the skillmonkiest PrC. This dip gives Tongue of the Devil, which adds Intelligence to bluff checks, and again seems tailored to Odysseus. Then 1 level of Marshal, which fits nicely both fluff (he leads men into battle) and crunch (he gets skill focus in diplomacy, and a Minor Aura – Motivate Intelligence will do). Instead of Flurry of Blows, he gets the Decisive Strike ACF, for a single attack that deals double damage and seems more appropriate. ![]() We politely ignore the incompatible flavour, and we’re left with good wrestler material: unarmed strike, Improved Unarmed Strike, and Improved Grapple. It gives tons of skill points, which he should definitely have, plus all skills as class skills, and Brains over Brawn (Intelligence to Strength- and Dexterity-based checks and skills), which seems tailored for him. So first he gets 3 levels of Factotum, which shows the diversity of his abilities. The skillmonkey side will be represented by an assortments of dips, and the warrior side with Warblade. Odysseus is half-skillmonkey and half-warrior. STATS AT LEVEL 21: Str 14, Dex 12, Con 14, Int 22, Wis 8, Cha 16 STARTING STATS: Str 14, Dex 12, Con 14, Int 18, Wis 8, Cha 15 (His encounter with the Sirens shows, if anything, how a man can make up for his profound lack of wisdom with an excess of cleverness.) His Dexterity is not impaired, but nothing exceptional.Īnd his Wisdom, I’m afraid, is rather lacking. He has a good Constitution, otherwise he couldn’t have endured the 10-year journey on the rough seas, right after 10 years of war. When Odysseus beats Ajax in wrestling (and wins the arms of the fallen Achilles), it’s not because he’s stronger – it’s because he doesn’t rely on brute force exclusively, otherwise he would hit the dirt on round one. But he’s not phenomenal, like Ajax, who is indeed strong as an ox. His Strength makes an impression, as the bow incident shows (the bow none of the suitors can even bend, but he can shoot accurately). And of course, he’s a king, a leader, a commander. He lies, he cheats, he can bluff his way out of anything. He’s the man who evaluates a situation, thinks of a solution, makes a plan and fights against all odds with his wit. He’s the man of many crafts, an engineer, a sailor, a MacGuyver of the Iron Age. His highest attribute is definitely Intelligence. ![]() Odysseus is the quintessential Cunning Hero.

![]() So if you are only getting 150kb/s, you are actually getting 150kb/s per thread connected to the server. The TCP limitations I just talked about are working on a per thread basis. Clients like FileZilla can connect with multiple threads to one server. Introducing multi-thread and multi-segmentĭon't give up just yet! There are techniques that can drastically improve your download speed. Tl dr The further away you are from the server you are trying to download from the slower your download will be. Usually this returns to normal but make sure you are using segments to get around any issues you might have. Because of this the route to your ISP might get better or worse from time to time. This is because the peering/transit arrangements between providers constantly change. One day your speed might be fine and the next it might be much slower (or much faster). That's why you can max out your download to one server but get a sucky 150kb/s on a different one.Īn other annoying side effect is that the internet is constantly changing. This means for every 256kb the server sends it waits 130ms to send the next 256kb. However if you live in the US and you are connecting to a server in Germany this trip might take 130ms. The server will send 256kb and then pause for 12ms. If you are very close to the server (let's say 12 ms) it's not that much of a problem. It's this mechanism that's responsible for the loss of speed. If for instance it announces to the server it's willing to buffer 256kb of data the server will send 256kb and then wait for the client to report that it received the 256kb in good order. When talking to a server the client requesting the data specifies a "receive window" it's a value that decides how much data it is willing to receive before reporting back to the server that it received all the packages. Flow control is responsible for deciding how fast the server sends the data to the client and is main factor that decides your download speed. TCP is a great protocol, it has built in error detection, it numbers the packages so it can rebuild the file regardless of the way the packets arrive and it has native support for flow control. Like mentioned above FTP uses TCP as it's transport layer. To explain why FTP does not always max out your home connection we have to take a look at the way the transport layer FTP uses works. ![]() Most of the questions regarding FTP have to deal with speeds issues. Lastly, Swish is a Windows Explorer extension so you don't need to open a separate program to use it and therefore is not resource intensive. Swish is easy to use because it integrates seamlessly with Windows Explorer so working with remote files feels just like working with the ones on your local computer. Swish adds support for SFTP to Windows Explorer so you can access your files on another computer securely via SSH. Download it now from the client list below and see for yourself. Swish is believed to be a better option for typical Windows users than other SFTP clients because it is so easy to use. Since it works on top of TCP though the rest of the text still applies to SFTP. It's a totally different protocol though and only the name is similar to FTP. Both the commands and data stream is fully encrypted. SFTP is a different protocol that works on top of a encrypted SSH connection. You download the files via torrents on the server and connect with a FTP client to bring the files to your own pc. When talking about torrents FTP is mainly used in combination with seedboxes. ![]() Introducing multi-thread and multi-segmentįTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol used to transfer files between two servers on a tcp based network. ![]() ![]() Windows Studio effects are a collection of features designed to present yourself in the best light.

The average eight-ounce cup of brewed coffee contains 96 milligrams of caffeine. The bigger questions, when comparing caffeine content for the two, are how much of each you’re likely to drink – and how quickly you’re likely to drink it. It’s really the coffee maker and the coffee brewing methods that make the difference. The caffeine content is different simply because the brew you get from your Nespresso or espresso machine is really nothing more than highly-concentrated coffee. In that case, the amount of caffeine that makes it to your cup has nothing to do with beans. But let’s assume that we’re comparing regular coffee and espresso made from the same type of beans. A cup of dark roast may actually have a higher caffeine level, because you have to put more ground coffee into the machine to make it.) (By the way, the widespread “knowledge” that light roasts contain more caffeine than darker roasts isn’t necessarily accurate. Robusta beans have about twice the caffeine content as Arabica beans, so espresso made with robusta is likely to contain more caffeine than espresso made from Arabica. In fact, that’s what Starbucks uses for its espresso. However, more flavorful Arabica beans are commonly used to make espresso in America. “Classic Italian” espresso is normally made using robusta beans, because they produce a thicker and richer crema. ![]() Almost all coffee sold in America is made from either Arabica or robusta coffee beans. There’s no such thing as “espresso” beans. ![]() Some custom minifigure manufacturers use real LEGO parts that are stripped of their print and properly pad printed with their own unique, original designs, like the guys over at do to produce high quality custom figures, but other manufacturers are producing blatant rip-offs of LEGO’s original designs, printed (or sometimes stickered) onto cheaper LEGO compatible parts. The LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series are often easy to get hold of at a decent price, but if you want a minifigure from a specific set, but don’t want to spend the money on buying the whole set, then that minifigure can often be harder to get your hands on and a lot more expensive.īecause of that, it is not surprising that people have started to produce ‘custom’ minifigures, that are available to buy on ebay, amazon and other online stores for a cheaper price.

Originally used in space applications (Attitude and Orbit Control Systems for spacecraft), HRG is now used in advanced inertial navigation systems, in attitude and heading reference systems, and HRG gyrocompasses. Therefore, the gyros can operate in either a "whole angle mode" that sense the standing waves' position or a "force rebalance mode" that holds the standing wave in a fixed orientation with respect to the gyro. The electronics which sense the standing waves are also able to drive them. The device is then able to sense rotation. Therefore, when subject to rotation around the shell symmetry axis, the standing wave does not rotate exactly with the shell, but the difference between both rotations is nevertheless perfectly proportional to the input rotation. This is the wave inertia effect, discovered in 1890 by British scientist George Hartley Bryan (1864–1928). It causes a slow precession of a standing wave around this axis, with an angular rate that differs from input one. In application to the HRG shell, Coriolis forces cause a precession of vibration patterns around the axis of rotation. When coated, tuned, and assembled within the housing, the Q factor remains over 10 million. Such resonators have to be fine-tuned by ion-beam micro-erosion of the glass or by laser ablation in order to be perfectly dynamically balanced. The Q factor is limited by the coating (extremely thin film of gold or platinum) and by fixture losses. This shell is driven to a flexural resonance by dedicated electrostatic forces generated by electrodes which are deposited directly onto separate fused quartz structures that surround the shell.įor a single-piece design (i.e., the hemispherical shell and stem form a monolithic part ) made from high-purity fused quartz, it is possible to reach a Q factor of over 30-50 million in vacuum, thus the corresponding random walks are extremely low.
