![]() ![]() Once you ask “what are the meanings of life?”, seeking multiple answers instead of singular, doors open. We go through many meanings during life and people who have fulfilling lives take ownership of the process of shedding old meanings and cultivating new ones. The meanings of life for an 17 year old boy, is different than for a 27 year old woman, and on it goes. You can have several of them that serve you in different ways, or that are useful at different times. It’s clear there are an infinite number of meanings to life. As if there was one meaning, written on a sacred mountain, visible only with a special magic spell, and all we need to do find the secret map, cast the spell, and reveal the meaning for 6 billion people as if it were a crackerjack prize. No meal is better than one after a fast.įollowing Socrates lead, the fundamental flaw in the question is that it’s asked in the singular. Unwavering hedonism loses its meaning over time, as we need contrasting experiences to fully realize what we have. The trap is the examined life offers superior pleasures. However I think there’s possible merit in living without much examination, at least for periods of time, as my dog’s daily life, or a weekend in Hawaii, are proof of the joys of hedonism. Socrates said “the life that is unexamined is not worth living” which appeals to me. Camus wrote “Don’t wait for the last judgement, it takes places every day”. In other words, the meaning of life is who you talked to, who you loved, who you helped, who you hurt, what you built, what you destroyed, and on it goes. Meaning is not an ideal or platitude but something that I manifest in actions I take, or don’t take. How I prioritize my time defines what my life means. Even if no one reads this, or I decide later I hate it, it still has meaning to me because it’s where I chose to put part of my life. Eventually I will die and and all my time will be gone forever. The time I spent writing this essay was time I will never get back. ![]() Our choices matter because they are finite. Kafka (possibly) wrote “the meaning of life is that it ends” which I love. ![]() Most living things in the history of the planet never bothered to need to ask this question in part because they were too busy trying to stay alive to have a need to occupy their minds with metaphysical questions. You don’t hear this question much from people in need of work, scavenging for food, or running for their lives in fear on a regular basis. It’s notable that the people who ask the titular question most often are those who have a life successful enough to be beyond struggling to survive. But we have choose them, they usually do not choose us. There’s plenty of obviously good meaningful things to do. Modern life has millions of people who need kindness and there are thousands of skills that can be learned and put to good use. The answer to the meaning of life question might just be there is no meaning other than living life for it’s simple pleasures and responsibilities. No matter how much you understand or don’t about your life, you still have to do the living. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water” and I consider this saying often. There’s a zen proverb that says “ Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. If yours is the former, and you don’t fear boredom, you can float with contentment along the surface of existence never exploring what’s beneath. There is mild merit to the phrase ignorance is bliss, as ignorance comes in both pleasant and painful forms. Kids don’t ask it, at least not with the same angst adults do. You could conclude that we’re better off not even asking about meaning. I’ve yet to hear my dog ask about the meaning of life and he seems pretty satisfied with existence. ![]()

![]() Now for music, will there be a music player or will this fit with the dynamic system? if not, is there a chance we could enable a option for classic music? How do you make people hunt zombies and not camp? this was a big problem with zps, my solution would be, have zombies with a RNG drop system, they can drop ammo (common) or a gun (extremely rare) (rates can be tweaked) there would be less ammo on the maps, If you turn from infection and become a zombie with "Equipment" that stuff is carried over too your zombie waiting for the next survivor that kills you (this would need testing) Maybe have it so the ammo they carry degrades by 1 every second they survive (again just some idea's so dont shoot me) would it protect body shots making the only viable way to kill one headshots? ![]() Rework body armor, one thing alot of us agree on is that if you turn with body armor on, it should carry over to your zombie.

You should just port over the damage values and tweak it from there, find a player base of old zps players and let them help you, tell you damages, speeds, health, everything to nail that experience.

Exiftool's biggest performance hit is in its startup and running it in a loop will be very slow, especially on a large amount of files (see Common Mistake #3). This has an advantage over a script looping over the file contents and running exiftool once for each line. ![]() The -sep option is needed to make sure the keywords are treated as separate keywords rather than a single, long keyword. The example works under both Linux and Windows. The example also shows how the exiftool command can include variables, e.g. 50b will create a new marker for every 2 of files processed by exiftool. The result would look like this: SourceFile,KeywordsĮxiftool -csv=/path/to/file.csv -sep ", " /path/to/files The progress bar will appear in the frame of the window in which exiftool is running. The whole keywords string need to be enclosed in quotes so they aren't read as a separate columns. ExifTool supports many different types of metadata including EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, JFIF, GeoTIFF, ICC Profile, Photoshop IRB, FlashPix, AFCP and ID3, as well as the maker notes of many digital cameras by Canon, Casio, FujiFilm, HP. If the filenames don't include the path to the files, then command would have to be run from the same directory as the files. ExifTool is a platform-independent Perl library plus a command-line application for reading, writing and editing meta information in image, audio and video files. The first row would have to have the header of "SourceFile" above the filenames and "Keywords" above the keywords. You would have to reformat it in this way. To copy or move metadata, the -tagsFromFile feature is used. To write or delete metadata, tag values are assigned using the - TAG VALUE syntax, or the -geotag option. In case a), wrong char are displayed in the console, but it does not seem to cause further pb.If you can change the format to a CSV file, then exiftool can directly read it with the -csv option.

However, there are three cases where file write permission is also required: 1) When using the -overwriteoriginalinplace option. Other tested cross combinations are causing wrong characters.

There are myriad factors that bolster this assumption. Throughout much of last year, WKHS stock was the beneficiary of speculation that Workhorse will get the governmental greenlight. Why WKHS Stock Might Not Be the Frontrunner However, the USPS must also think about another kind of green (the economical variety), which makes the Workhorse narrative complicated. Hence, many are excited about the possibility of WKHS stock as the underlying company is the greenest. Indeed, it’s the only company among the three contests vying for the USPS contract – the others are Karsan and Oshkosh, which are teamed with Morgan Olson and Ford (NYSE: F), respectively – that is all-electric. ![]() To cut down on that expense, Workhorse has proposed an all-electric solution. Basically, it’s the last leg of a parcel’s journey that is the costliest. The constant acceleration and deceleration, combined with extended periods of sitting still, contributes to the last-mile problem in logistics. But this fact becomes extremely obvious under stop-and-go driving conditions. Instead, the executive team is busy evangelizing the benefits of EVs to replace combustion-engine based delivery trucks and vans.Īs you know, combustion vehicles aren’t the most efficient transportation platforms. Better yet, the disclosure provides stakeholders substantial confidence that management isn’t banking on any single contract materializing. On a year-to-date basis, shares are up over 26%. Not surprisingly, WKHS stock jumped dramatically higher on the news. The deal with the Ontario, Canada-based truck leasing and sales company is split between Workhorse’s C-1000 and C-650 models and is subject to various production and delivery conditions.” According to, the specialist electric vehicle manufacturer stated that “Pride Group Enterprises will buy 6,320 C-Series all-electric delivery vehicles. Traditional mail volumes have declined, while the service now delivers millions of packages from online retailers like Amazon that did not exist when the previous mail vehicle was introduced.Earlier this month, Workhorse won its largest delivery truck order, setting its 2021 off on the right note. The postal service last updated its mail-delivery trucks 30 years ago, and there have been major changes in the service’s operations since then. ![]() Shares of Workhorse fell more than 47% Tuesday. The choice of Wisconsin-based Oshkosh is a big miss for Ohio-based electric vehicle startup Workhorse Group, which put in an all-electric bid for the vehicles. USPS described the deal as the first part of a multibillion-dollar 10-year effort to replace its delivery vehicle fleet. It will get an initial $482 million toward retooling and building out its factory. Oshkosh Defense, a division of Wisconsin-based Oshkosh Corp., will assemble 50,000 to 165,000 of the new Next Generation Delivery Vehicles at its existing U.S. WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States Post Office said Tuesday that it has chosen Oshkosh Defense to build its next-generation mail-delivery vehicle, part of an effort to make the USPS more environmentally friendly by switching a portion of its huge fleet to electric vehicles. ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe I was just lucky or perhaps the batteries back then were made of sterner stuff.I had a hot coffee accident in my office bag from my thermos yesterday and all the coffee leeked in the bag. But when I tested the battery just prior to getting my act together it was just fine and it is still going strong today. The past year or two I've followed the rules. For a number of years before I learned some of the things you've listed I did just about everything wrong when it came to my wife's 2011 13" MBP. I've wondered about some of the battery advice you list. It's only lost roughly 1150 mAh of capacity from 5770 mAh. The results are nothing short of extraordinary:Ĭoconut battery states battery is at 79% capacity, cycle count of 401, battery status good. I've exposed the MBP to extreme cold and heat in the trunk of a car. I used the MBP 2011 almost every day from 2011 till 2015 and in almost all the cases broke the rules you just said not to break: i keep it plugged in all night when I got home, i used to run it down to 3-5%, and topped it up from location to location. I have had different experience with Macbook Pro 2011 I am using as a spare. At any rate, if you haven't treated your batteries like they should be treated there's hope! ![]() Maybe I was just lucky or perhaps the batteries back then were made of sterner stuff. I dont think that an ISB C battery can damage your laptop Permanently external power - this kills every batteryĭisrupted charging - always perform a full charge and add some minutes Load half full battery - empty to below 20 % capacity if possble You should avoid by all means the following situations: In case your device shows less Performance you should read guides how to keep your batteries healthy. Modern good batteries should perform like that or better. My late 2013 retina MacBookPro 13" had some 300 cycles and 90 % of the initial capacity. How long does it take for apple to replace battery same day or do they ship it out? I tried reset smc/pram several times but that did not do anything. I want to make sure the Anker is not damaging the battery if i get apple to replace it under applecare. I had the Anker battery connected to my laptop and an iphone 6s and I wonder if this could have caused damage. It is the first time I noticed the warning. I am not sure if it has been there for a while. I noticed the 'service battery' warning for the first yesterday and I want to see if this issue was caused by the Anker battery or if the battery was just defective. I've powered/topped up the laptop using Anker PowerCore+ 26800 and a USB-A to USB-C anker cable about 25 times. I have the June 2015 Macbook 12" with 247 charge cycles and 3970mah full charge capacity out of 5297mah(75%) after testing with coconut battery app. With the anker it stays steady at the same percentage and I've used the laptop for several hours with only 30-40 percent of the anker battery depleted. if you are using the macbook while charging it with the ravpower does the battery percentage go down? It is like buying a drink in a bottle which will only pour out 65% of the contents. All the manufacturers do it, and also ignore transfer efficiency. If you are going to specify capacity as mAH you have to say what voltage it is using. Battery power is measured in Watt-hours not milliamp-hours. "26800mAH" is a marketing figure intended to sound big and confuse. ![]() This means that, with typical 65% transfer efficiency which applies to all these batteries, a fully charged RavPower will only charge the MacBook about once. At 15V it is one third of that of course, i.e. ![]() If the RavPower is not reasonably fully charged it will not reverse at all, and then you can only charge the MacBook using the USB-A port on the RavPower at 5V.Īlthough billed at 26800 mAH, that is the current x time at 5V. You reverse this by holding the button on the RavPower down for 10 secs but it doesn't always work first time. The RavPower has its quirks, the most annoying one being that on connection to the MacBook with a USB-C to USB-C cable, the current sometimes flows the wrong way, ie from the computer to the battery. The RavPower can also be recharged very quickly as well because it can be done at 30W. The RavPower charges at the same rate as the Apple 29W wall charger, so the answer to your question, can it charge the MacBook while in use is yes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cream of mushroom soup or cream of celeryĪ lot of these items might be pantry staples you already have on hand that you could use to whip up an easy dinner for less. ![]()
