Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

it's two hundred dollars, and

How durable is the non-stick finish?

On average, the non-stick finish lasts 3-5 years, depending on the amount of usage. Pantelligent helps you avoid extremely high temperatures which usually damage coatings on normal (non-smart) pans.

for using a skillet? quite easily. especially if you have an electric range and don't know the temperatures of different oils or to look for the leidenfrost effect ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidenfrost_effect )

however for this... just use an ir thermometer ffs

We started by understanding the PPG technology in the devices used by physicians. The enabler for scaling down the whole system is the introduction of smaller ICs like AFE4400 by Texas Instruments, which have almost everything on-board, including signal filtering circuits. However, since the IC is so small, it is not possible to use the normal breadboard to hook up the IC for programming. Fortunately, SchmartBoard came to the rescue as they provide boards that make it easier to solder SMT components.

ok when your devlog starts out with figuring out how to use an smt chip it does not inspire confidence in anybody who knows what these loving words mean

yes, this is definitely legal

also wfunder.com seems to have been setup by the areal team and all their stuff is stickied with infinite countdowns so probably this entire site is like a kickstarter of fraud

Yes, but I think there is a usage with USB ports in cars that have data lines to feebly hook up with the car stereo. If you had a USB condom you could charge your phone, use the phone speaker and not have to use the drat awful car integration.

quote:

Certain places within zones can become more dangerous than they seem at first. That's why within zones, even seemingly short distances might not be straightforward and can present many unexpected circumstances. To discover an Anomaly, you must look for obvious abnormalities and increased danger. Anomalies are all different and do different things to the environment. They can be very destructive or relatively passive, and much about them is a mystery.

An easy way to locate anomalies is to use certain metal alloy bolts to detect them. If you throw these bolts into the air and they do not fall back down, then you have more than likely entered into an anomalous zone, and should be on alert.

Anomalies do not exclusively cause destruction, though they are very capable of doing so. Quite often, they displace environmental features and even people. If you are in an anomalous zone, you could be instantly teleported into another location.

Anomalies are not permanent, and change locations very frequently. Their characteristics are never exactly the same, and you can never be safe from potential anomalies.

they way that they're used here, in the context of this computer game, just seems like a convenient excuse for the developers to dick around with the player

that said i've never played a s.t.a.l.k.e.r. before, did the "real" ones do it too and make it work? maybe this works in practice better than i'm imagining, in which case i'd be happy to be wrong

they aren't really to dick around with the player, they're more ways to punish you for not paying attention, or block off routes in a kind of natural way

it's usually a floating ball of distorted light that if you walk into you take a bit of damage and maybe get knocked about. a lot of times there's a bunch of them in an area and throwing bolts is how you find a safe route
