Not only are they well-drawn, they’re also animated with multiple expressions and lip-syncing to the game’s fully-voiced dialogue. As for the dating sim elements, where most western takes on the anime style tend to be subtly off, HuniePop’s character portraits could give most Japanese eroge circles a run for their money. The game’s interface looks fantastic, and its puzzle visuals can easily stand toe-to-toe with the likes of Bejeweled, Tetris, and Puzzle League in terms of all-important clarity and simplicity. Designer Ryan Koons (an ex-Insomniac employee) brought on a team of supremely talented artists to help bring his filthy vision to life, and the results are plain to see. The first thing you’ll notice when you boot up the game is that it looks – and sounds – really, really good. Well, that’s not the only thing that sets it apart. What sets HuniePop apart is that all of this is accomplished through match-three puzzle gameplay – yes, even the sex. The goal of the game, such as there is one, is to seduce a multitude of women (the technical term is “waifus”) with diverse personalities and ethnic backgrounds so that they’ll send you increasingly racy pictures and eventually sleep with you. HuniePop is one of those “dating simulators” or “galge” (Gal-Games) that’s so popular in Japan, but let’s cut the weak euphemism – it’s convoluted pornography. This is a difficult review to write – not because HuniePop is hard to evaluate by any stretch, but because in writing this I have to admit that I played it.

Naw its this bike with a horizontal rack mounted 36v battery (so likely 10 groups of 6). The results will tell whether the cropus are still usable, and if you have any options. They will tell you to carefully open your pack, determine how the 13 series groups are arranged in it, and to report the voltage on all 13 groups. If you want more direction ask the folks at endless-sphere forums. That's why you have to be very careful if you open it. You can't tell what's in those cells since the BMS has shut down the pack. That whole array could be dead, or it might have as much as 40 volts in it. If you open the pack, you'll see the cell array, the BMS card, and a whole bunch of wires. Your 48V battery will be made up of 13 groups of cells in parallel. They isolate the terminals of the internal cells from the outside world when they detect a voltage problem. you may not have come across the Battery Management (BMS) cards. With your 2 cell and 4 cell battery projects. They have little spot welders for batteries. as it's hard to do w/o getting them too hot. If the cells are easily removed from that case, you might entertain that alternative, I guess you cannot support the seat without the battery in place? If you could, it would be easiest to buy a downtube battery and clamp it to the frame. Is it this battery? Being Held by the owner of this website. That bike shows up at the grocery 2 or 3 times a week where the guy who built his own battery does not park. You will see on my bike left, I wrapped a generic luna battery in aluminum angle, some plastic insulation, a PVC sheet for rain resistance, than hung it on front of my bicycle. I've seen one MTB conversion at the local grocery, the guy said he had soldered his battery together from cells he bought on ali. People say a lot of nice things about grin technology in Ca. I bought two **** batteries from amazon & ebay, so the one generic battery vendor I can recommend from experience in USA is luna. America, the best I think you can do is buy a new battery from a reputable vendor and adapt the connectors and wiring. If you live in ***** you might be able to find the source of genuine new cells. Plus the new cells you can buy, there aren't a lot of reputable vendors. My welding gloves wouldn't hold that flame off I don't believe. Flame about a foot in diameter if watching cell phone batteries on television is any indication. I'm pretty handy, but I'm not bold enough to weld together bottles that if you penetrate the metal with too much energy, bursts into flame. Getting it to hold together under the stress of potholes is another level of skill. One or two guys have repacked the battery. You have to drive your battery to the center, you are not allowed to ship it.Īdjacent to that thread is one about batteries in general. Im generally technically competent, and have done a ton of low voltage projects, but this would be my first thing of this high power motor class (and im kinda excited to learn about it). For what it's worth it was a 36v 12ah originally. So i just wanted a sanity check for you fine knowledgeable folk, would it be reasonable to open up the battery, desolder all the cells, and replace them with newer (potentially higher capacity) versions of 18650. but it seems like all i really need is to replace the cells, the whole rest of the battery (should) be good. Looking for replacement batteries online, and they seem to go for at least 400$! (i assume this is in part because its a discontinued model). namely because the battery is dead and the charger is missing (the guy gave me his purchase agreement from REI, and the battery was at 10 volts, 4 years ago, so i imagine super dead). It's in excellent shape, and has never been ridden. So, sorta on a whim i swiped up a 250$ 2015 e3 zuma from facebook marketplace. Tidus' hastega is also pretty rad for off element raid slash teams, especially if you can't steal time/slow/stop the boss.Īll of the bottom rung units I agree with most are too niche, don't have an EX, or are too underpowered for the game right now. Again not perfect as they get hard countered by Cloud/Fred but that team will blow up any fire team out there. Most people forget about Pharm but she can be the lynch pin in a water dodge team centered around Lara/Lara Card and Tidus with Samurai sub. So she's not the best but can be pretty potent against a King Mont/BRH combo with the right team. Moore is a hard counter to King Mont but gets shredded by Cloud/Fred/Charlotte.

The bottle was easy to hand wash after using and you have the option to wash the cover in the dishwasher. For a stainless steel shaker, I also didn't find it to be too heavy and it has an easy-to-hold handle which makes it ideal for bringing it to the gym with you. There were a few small chunks of protein powder left over which meant I could've shaken it longer. I was pleased that I was able to mix an almost smooth protein shake using whey-based protein powder and almond milk with this shaker. It also holds up to 24 ounces of liquid, so you have plenty of room to add your favorite protein powder and additional supplements. The stainless steel material is ideal for keeping your protein shake cold or other beverages hot. The spout has a steel twist lock cover, which securely locks the bottle and is the most user-friendly design from the brand. The Blender Bottle Strada is double wall insulated and made of stainless steel. In this case, I liked the design of the Blender Bottle Strada series best. Blender Bottle has expanded with different versions since the success of its classic shaker. Blender Bottle is a classic protein shaker brand that's known for its stainless steel shaker ball or BlenderBall whisk (as it's called) in its bottles. The brand I was most familiar with on this list was Blender Bottle. Fruits have to be super ripe for puree option to work.Doesn't need a shaker ball, which means it's quiet.ShakeSphere is a good option if you want a shaker that gives you a smooth protein shake every time and keeps your drink cold for as long as 12 hours. Luckily, cleanup was easy and all I needed to do was rinse it out with warm water and soap. Based on this experience, I think this feature will only work if your fruit is super ripe, so keep that in mind if you plan on using it for smoothies. The shaker did dissolve the protein powder, but there were still pieces of banana lingering around. To see if I could fix this problem I added protein powder and water and shook it up again to see if this made a difference. When I opened up the capsule, the banana looked partially pureed, but there were still small chunks left behind. I grabbed a ripe banana, broke it into smaller pieces and shook it in the shaker for about 30 seconds. The next test I tried out with this shaker was to see how well it pureed soft fruits as it claimed. There were no leaks either or perspiration on the bottle, which was a plus. I also liked that the lid was easy to use and slides back and forth to open and close. After about 30 seconds of shaking I opened up the capsule and saw that it got the job done and there were no chunks of powder left behind. This shaker can hold about 24 ounces of liquid. The first step I took to test the ShakeSphere was by mixing oat milk and chocolate whey based protein powder to see how well it dissolved in the shaker. Another unique feature it has is that it also manages to puree soft fruits, such as bananas and berries to create an on-the-go smoothie without the need of a blade. Instead it relies on its capsule-like shape and uses centrifugal force to mix the protein powder and liquid to create an on-the-go shake. This bottle doesn't have a shaker ball or an alternative accessory to help shake up protein shakes. On the website, it says it's a shaker, flask and thermos all in one. The stainless steel design resembles a capsule-shaped grenade and can be used with both hot and cold beverages. I was not only impressed by the look of this shaker, but also how well it worked.

Think of the dye completely dissolved in alcohol like sugar water spread out in a pan. What about light-fastness? “Light fastness is the resistance of colours to fading, changing shade or darkening under the influence of light” Dyes are less light-fast than pigments because the quantity of the colorant exposed to light is more. When you let the alcohol evaporate off the dye is more concentrated because there is less solution.So what difference does it make if we are using dye rather than pigment? Dyes are designed for maximum brightness and color saturation. When you add more alcohol the dissolved dye merges into the new solution. The alcohol ink colorant is a dye that completely dissolves into solution and in our case it is alcohol. Pigment based means that the particles sit on top of the paper and don’t merge with the alcohol. The reason they don’t move is that they are pigment based. The India ink once dried doesn’t move when alcohol is applied on top. India Ink is a pigment based ink,alcohol inks are dye based. NO.They are two very different kinds of ink. But it does not often make sense for a joint venture to go through the process of obtaining a GSA Schedule because joint ventures, by definition, are limited purpose entities. Rather, because the joint venture is an entity separate from its members, the joint venture itself must hold a GSA Schedule in order to pursue orders thereunder. One of the biggest hiccups for venturers (and potential venturers) is that the unpopulated joint venture they form cannot use the GSA Schedule contract of either or both of the venturers. If venturers decide to proceed this way, the markup should be addressed in the joint venture agreement. In these cases, the joint venture would retain income, and any profit would be required to be distributed to the venturers commensurate with the work performed. (Of course, if the venturers are paid in accordance with their workshare, presumably such payment includes profit.) Sometimes venturers decide to have the joint venture apply a markup to their separate costs, similar to a prime contractor’s markup on a subcontractor’s invoice. Such a scenario leaves no income at the joint venture level and, therefore, no profits to distribute. For instance, if the joint venture bills its customer $1,000, of which one venturer did 40% of the work and the other venturer did 60% of the work, then one venturer is going to be paid $400 and the other is going to be paid $600, respectively. But, more often than not, unpopulated joint ventures are pass-through entities in which revenues of the joint venture go directly to the venturers as compensation for their work on behalf of the joint venture. SBA’s regulations make clear that each participant in the joint venture must receive profits from the joint venture commensurate with the work performed by the concern. For example, if the joint venture is awarded an ID/IQ contract, the venturers may want to consider implementing an ordering procedure whereby, upon award of an order to the joint venture, the joint venture will likewise issue an order to each venturer specifying their respective scopes of work.Īnother complexity of unpopulated joint ventures is the handling of profits. However, it may be prudent for the venturers to contract with the joint venture. There is no SBA requirement for the venturers to do so and, indeed, the joint venture agreement itself must specify the venturers’ responsibilities with regards to contract performance. Often, venturers do not enter a separate contract with the joint venture specifying the venturers’ work on behalf of the joint venture. Because the contract is held in the name of the joint venture, the venturers act like subcontractors in contract performance. When an unpopulated joint venture is awarded a contract, employees of the venturers perform the work on behalf of the joint venture. While SBA’s preference for unpopulated joint ventures is meant to benefit small business venturers and provide them with more hands-on experience, it creates wrinkles for the venturers. As a result, companies that want to form a joint venture for set-aside opportunities and not be affiliated with each other need to form an unpopulated joint venture. SBA has all but eliminated populated joint ventures (i.e., a joint venture with employees of its own performing direct labor). |
