I second the Baskerville suggestion (we have the ultra one I linked). I am training her on it indoors for very brief periods (you know put treats inside it to get her used to it etc) but haven’t used it for a walk yet since my trainer said not to walk her off our property until she sees us. I bought one from pet supplies plus because it was quick and convenient but even though it’s adjustable it doesn’t really seem to allow full open mouth panting. my dog has been reactive but never aggressive in the past but now I probably need a muzzle to do our normal walks because the owner of the small dog asked me too plus now I’m nervous in general because we will just say it isn’t the first time I’ve seen an accidentally or on purpose other dog off leash in our neighborhood. I have an appointment with my trainer sept 7 and will ask her then but does anyone in the meantime have a recommendation for a type/ brand muzzle that works well for active dogs ? Background is my dog was on leash but bit a smaller dog that was accidentally running around off leash and ran up to her uninvited.

Once this sketch is uploaded, the serial monitor should show a number incrementing every two seconds. Note that these should be inside cli() (disable all interrupts) and sei() (enable to all interrupts) to avoid triggering any other interrupt that the Arduino platform might be using. Then we set the prescale to 2 seconds according to the table: WDTCSR = (1<<WDIE)| (1<<WDP2) | (1<<WDP1) | (1<<WDP0) This ensures that the watchdog resets after interrupt. We configure the watchdog to enter interrupt and system reset mode: WDTCSR = (1 << WDCE) | (1 << WDE) Here I have a variable count that increments every time the watchdog timer interrupt triggers. So for example, we want the interrupt to trigger every 2 seconds, the code would be: #include The amount of time before the watchdog triggers is configured using bits WDP3, WDP2, WPD1 and WDP0: WDTON is a fuse configured during program flashing and is high by default. The first thing to do is to enable the interrupt, then configure how long before that interrupt triggers.Īccording to the datasheet, the watchdog timer interrupt enables if WDE is either low or high and WDIE is high: This requires manipulating the register WDTCSR. The watchdog timer can also trigger an interrupt when it overflows. In between this time, the Arduino is either receiving data from the SIM800L or in sleep mode where it consumes less power. Here, the watchdog timer is set to reset every 8 seconds. if no data, the program exits the while loop and goes to sleep watchdog resets system every 8 seconds To save power, you want your microcontroller to go to sleep when nothing is coming from the SIM800L. Your application involves waiting for the SIM800L to send data when a SMS arrives. Say you are interfacing with a modem like the SIM800L through serial. Probably the biggest use of the watchdog timer is saving power. The system resets every two seconds, hence “Reset!” prints every two seconds. ![]() Then we enable the serial port and print “Reset!”: Serial.begin(9600) Here, we enabled to watchdog and have it reset the system every two seconds: wdt_enable(WDTO_2S) But if you run this on an Arduino UNO, the serial monitor will show “Reset!” every two seconds. Note that this function is an AVR function so you must include this before invoking it: #include Īs you know, anything inside setup() executes once. Where WDT Reset Timer is a constant describing the time before the watchdog resets. ![]() To enable it, we use the function: wdt_enable(WDT Reset Timer) The watchdog timer is normally disabled in an Arduino sketch. You can also configure the watchdog timer to trigger an interrupt when it overflows. If ever something happens and the loop is not completed, the watchdog timer starts to run and resets the microprocessor. ![]() In a program, the watchdog timer resets for every completed main loop. This means it is unaffected by any external oscillators (recall that Arduino UNO’s have a 16 MHz oscillator) and thus by the instruction cycle. In Arduino, specifically on ATMega micro’s, the watchdog timer runs on an internal 1 MHz oscillator. But what if we can’t press that button? You can reset the Arduino via software using the watchdog timer.Ī watchdog timer is an internal timer whose primary purpose is to “watch” the operation of the microcontroller. Now what if while inside the loop(), something went wrong either in code or in hardware? Normally we just press the reset button. Any code inside setup() executes once while code inside loop() executes again and again until the next reset. In Arduino programming, we learn about functions setup() and loop(). ![]() French dispatch runtime12/7/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The Private Dining Room - of the Police Commissioner presented by Jeffrey Wright’s Roebuck Wright with brief appearances by Liev Schreiber, Saoirse Ronan, Edward Norton, and Mathieu Amalric, as well as others.

One of the major credit bureaus that play a significant role in credit freezes is TransUnion. When considering a credit freeze, it is essential to understand the different aspects and entities involved. By implementing a credit freeze, individuals can restrict access to their credit reports, making it more difficult for identity thieves to open new accounts in their name. A credit freeze will not affect your credit scores and won't increase the likelihood of fraud on any existing accounts in good standing in your credit file.Ĭonsumers have the ability to safeguard their credit and personal information from fraudulent activities by utilizing a credit freeze, which is a potent tool. This includes potential creditors and employers who need to see your credit report before approving you for a loan or job. ![]() Once you place a freeze on your credit, no one can access it without your permission. What is a credit freeze on credit reports?Ī security freeze, also called a credit freeze, is a way to protect your credit from identity theft. The Federal Trade Commission has updated its website with credit bureau contact information to help consumers take advantage of these provisions. This requires businesses to obtain consumer approval before opening a new account. The law also extends the duration of a fraud alert on a consumer's credit report from 90 days to one year. This security measure limits access to a person's credit report, making it challenging for fraudsters to create new accounts using their identity. Thanks to the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, consumers residing in specific states are now exempt from paying credit freeze fees.

Recent rimworld update12/7/2023 ![]() ![]() I am just a humble Network Engineer guy with a bit of knowledge of python due to working with Autodesk Maya a lot ( hobby is 3d modelling of some static objects ) I am trying to somehow compile the dll in Visual Studio 2019 community version but somehow it is not working due to a lot of errors that looks like were already there before I decompile the dll and edited it. Like somebody mentioned on Steam Facial stuff page, looks like the author of the Facial stuff mod got fed up with mods that are handling the Children and pregnancy Well than why he added the CSL mod support to his code but removed the CNP support ?Īnyway right now the old dll is working for me and I have a normal kids with normal heads like it was working in game version. I must say I do not know how he did it that he was able to compile the dll with so much errors.Īnyway in the game if I replace the assemblies folder with the Assemblies folder from previous version of his mod the kids are working fine and they do not have the big adult heads and hands and feet. Now I added the lines that he removed back and edited them a bit so it should work with the latest dll but somehow the Visual Studio 2019 will not compile the dll due to like 1000 errors in the code. I decompile both of those version of dll ( the latest one and the one I had from beggining of 2020 ) and compare them in WinMerge program. I was lucky enough that I had some older version of Facial stuff mod before he removed those lines of code. But on top of that he removed a few more lines of code that were working for kids. I see he removed a line that one guy mentioned on Steam page for Facial stuff mod. He removed a few lines of code ( but added support for CSL ) that was working with Children and Pregnancy mod. So it is interesting and I do not know why the author of Facial Stuff did what he did. Ok another edit after some testing and other stuff. So looks like it is really Facial Stuff rendering the adult body over the baby body from CnL hope there will be some fix please. And as somebody already mentioned (a few pages back) the baby was trying to move but the hands and feet was not moving at all. I tried to do give birth and yeah I saw a baby body with a head of a adult body on it together with hands and feet. I remember from that 1.1 version of game, that the baby and toddler bodies did not have the hands and feet, even the teenager body was without those but it was working and they were not looking like an adult when born.Īnd what about the Facial Animation does this work with CnL ?ĮDIT3: I just tested via dev menu option. Crap hope there will be some patch or something that will make it work again. Looks like the Facial Stuff is doing this and putting the body of an adult above the baby body from CnP mod ? That some patches checks are no longer working ?

There isn't LaTeX math support in an extremely convenient out-of-box way it seems, but there are some possible methods available: The "Align and Distribute" tool also helps, acting as "one time constraints", but there's no way to make real permanent constraints right now. "same widths, parallel, etc.", but you can generally get decent results by just snapping to a grid in the editor. Inkscape currently doesn't support constraints however unfortunately: e.g. Intuition behind normal subgroups shows a more free-form block diagram I've put up myself: shows how it supports doing intersection of figures (you have to potentially copy objects to merge them): ![]() Inkscape had been previously mentioned at: Software for drawing geometry diagrams but here are some demos that felt relevant. media/videos/basic/480p15/OpeningManimExample.mp4 I'll let a sample video speak for itself: This is based on the engine that 3blue1brown uses for his amazingly looking videos, which include complex moving graphs and formulas.

Past Roles: Hercule (DEATH BATTLE!), Bolsito (Iridescent) With his mind restored, Dail inherited his father's duties as king. Luckily, Brevon's plans were thwarted, and Dail's life was saved by his younger brother Spade.

Past Roles: Dragonball Z (Vegeta & Piccolo), One Piece (Roronoa Zoro)Īs a half-mongrel, half-dragon from the southern islands, Askal was often ridiculed in the north for his mixed heritage. Gong uses his trusty shield as a method of both offense and defense, a mode of transportation, and a musical instrument. He tries his hardest despite his self-doubt. Ever since then, Gong has trained alongside Sergeant Askal so that he can live up to his people's expectations. The people of Avalice could not believe that a group of kids brought down Lord Brevon, so the praise fell on Shang Tu's burly general instead. Past Roles: All Male Voices (Crystal Story II), Hurc (Hula Blade) Although she can use a variety of elemental weapons, she prefers her Frost Arts to capture criminals easily and non-lethally.

The names alone are cringeworthy, but as bad as lame as these characters are (except maybe Turtloid), their stages can be that much worse. The eight bosses here are Commander Yammark, Blaze Heatnix, Ground Scaravich, Blizzard Wolfgang, Rainy Turtloid, Shield Sheldon, Infinity Mijinion, and Metal Shark Player. Did they just pull a bunch of random words out of a hat when making these guys?” Those stages that are terrible, however, will leave you scratching your head wondering how Capcom felt such levels were finished. Not all the stages are flat-out terrible, but at their best they’re still forgettable. But where Mega Man X6 not only becomes a disappointment, but an embarrassment to its series is in its level design. So far, that may not sound too bad, just a bit familiar. Also like X5, the player can select two versions of X from the start (the standard version, and the Falcon Armor from X5), and there are secret armors for X and Zero to be found throughout the stages. X, believing Zero to have died, took up his comrade’s old sword (in addition to the X Buster), so Zero has a newer, more versatile sword. And on the plus side, Zero actually has some new moves this time around. Having to unlock a character who was playable from the get-go in the last two games may seem underwhelming, but at least it’s consistent with the story. Once again, optional mid-bosses will find their way into some stages, and if you can defeat two of these mid-bosses – Nightmare Zero and oddly-named High Max – you can go straight to Gate’s lab without finishing the rest of the stages.Īdditionally, defeating Nightmare Zero will unlock the ‘real’ Zero as a playable character. There is at least a little deviation from the formula here in that you don’t actually have to beat all eight main stages to move onto Gate’s laboratory. ![]() It gets kind of hard to follow, especially with the hilariously bad translation.Īnyway, the structure of the game is the same deal as before: Eight bosses to choose from, beat them to get their powers to use on other bosses, defeat all eight to move onto the final stages in Gate’s secret laboratory. Zero went into hiding to repair himself, but the Nightmare Virus is said to have been created through Zero…or something. A new ‘Nightmare Virus’ has been created by a maniacal Reploid named Gate, who is using the virus to turn Reploids into Mavericks (so basically it’s identical to the virus from the last game). Though Zero managed to survive the ordeal (much to the dismay of Inafune, who wanted Zero to have a hero’s death), much of Earth’s population – both human and Reploid – have been wiped out (so I guess by Zero “saving the Earth” the game means it in very relative terms). Zero seemingly sacrificed himself saving the Earth from a space colony that was on a collision course with the planet. ![]() Set a mere three weeks after the events of X5, Mega Man X6 sees the world in disarray. “How dare! This games translates Mega Man like this!” There is such a lack of polish emanating from Mega Man X6, that you may wonder if anyone involved with its production even tested it before release. Released a year after X5 was intended to wrap-up the series, Mega Man X6 feels rushed in a way that no other entry in the franchise – even other annual installments – ever did. Bad enough that series’ producer Keiji Inafune – who wasn’t even much involved with the title – felt that fans were owed an apology for it. While Mega Man 6’s biggest crime was complacency, it was at least still competently fun. The Mega Man X series also reached a low point with its sixth installment, aptly titled Mega Man X6. Is Mega Man allergic to the number 6? As far as the main series goes, Mega Man 6 has to be the weakest entry, as it represents the series’ most creatively lazy moment. *Review based on Mega Man X6’s release as part of Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2* ![]() AuthorWrite something about yourself.
