![]() Casting performance is maximized by the V-Rotor design and Rocket line management system that allows anglers to fish mono, braid, and even difficult-to-manage fluorocarbon. It combines a Zenon-inspired A-SYM body design to minimize the body size and optimize weight and balance with the AM-G fully machined gear systems for the ultimate in smoothness and cranking power. Featuring our new 7.6:1 gear ratio, the Revo Rocket delivers blazing-fast speeds up to 47" IPT* (40 sizes). Redesigned from the ground up to provide anglers the speed they need, no matter the technique. The Revo Rocket features an asymmetric body design and an X2-Crftic alloy frame and sideplate to provide the ultimate balance in weight, strength. Over the course of the day, that can greatly increase the amount of time your bait spends effectively fishing.Revo® Rocket SP20 Spinning Reel REVO3 ROCKET SP20 In the case of worm anglers who may be fishing cover or structure at some distance from the boat, once the bait has been fished through the area that a strike is likely to occur, the bait can be reeled in very quickly, and hence the next cast can be made quickly. The extremely fast line uptake of fast reels does three things for anglers. Some examples of baits that match well to a fast gear ratio are jigs, big worms, Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, jerkbaits, lipless crankbaits, and topwaters. Fast Gear Ratio Applicationsįast gear ratio reels are the most efficient choice for anglers who are presenting baits at relatively defined target areas, or are fishing a bait primarily worked by moving the rod tip, or fishing baits that are being "ripped" quickly, or using baits that are fished in heavy cover where getting the fish into open water immediately upon hookset is helpful. Many reels in this range are also quite capable of presenting not only baits listed in the "medium" category, but also in the slow and fast category – perhaps with slightly less efficiency or more work, but they can get the job done. Ratios of around 6:1 or 6:4 present a wide variety of baits and are often used with shallow spinnerbait presentations, square-billed crankbaits, medium-depth cranks in general, and castable umbrella rigs.Īgain, turning the reel at a comfortable rate naturally presents these baits at the depth they are usually most effective.

Medium reels are often referred to as the "workhorses" of bass anglers. Generally with these baits, when the fishing part of the cast is done, the bait is close to the boat, and therefore the slow ratio does not delay the next cast much. The 10.1:1 gear ratio providing 41 IPT and Power Stack Carbon Matrix Drag System make this reel perfect for fast techniques and heavy cover. The Revo Rocket low profile reel packs a punch of Speed, Strength, and Power. The gear ratio allows you to turn the reel at a comfortable rate, and coupled with these baits, keeps your offering in the strike zone the entire retrieve. A continued tradition of precision engineering and powerful performance. The slower uptake makes sense in these applications because they allow the bait to get down in the water column and because during most of the retrieve these baits are fishing in the strike zone (or at least what you hope is the strike zone). item 6 abu garcia revo2X30 revo x30 spinning reel 7 bearings bass trout mono or braid abu garcia revo2X30 revo x30 spinning reel 7 bearings bass trout mono or braid. ![]() Slow reels in the 5:1 range are often the top choice for anglers fishing deep-diving crankbaits, slow-rolled spinnerbaits and big swimbaits.

In the early days of tournament fishing, 7:1 reels were not sturdy enough to stand up to long-term serious fishing, but today they are. Roughly speaking, "slow" reels have ratios below 6:1 medium reels are 6 to just under 7:1 and fast reels are 7:1 or faster. ![]() Hammers are what you need to drive nails, but they don't do much if you're trying to loosen a screw.Īnglers typically divide gear ratios into three categories: slow, medium and fast. ![]()

![]() ![]() I need 128Gb and I will run this CPU full load 24/24 for volunteering Boinc projects (medical research projects mostly) and video rendering. I'm looking for information about the RAM I should choose for my 3990x and it seems you have a lot experience and a strong knowledge in this matter on this forum. Myself and a colleague had issues with the XMP profile turning off after reboots. Update your bios to f5c, as they fixed some issues with memory stability. It might be bios related or it's ram? (my current bios version is F4) Second thing is, I got completely new set of RAM dimms (same as previously, vengence lpx 3200MHz) - they are ok but ram speed is still 2133 even though I set XMP to profile 1. it's not on the list and I can't find any information about it whatsoever.

Marty is actually one of the reasons I decided to make the jump and learn to play guitar at the tender young age of 57 years old. May not have matched the original note for note, but I was able to put the song on and play along with it and it sounded great. I was learning a beginner song from a book that had different chords than what Marty taught, but watched his video and his sounded BETTER and watching him, I was able to learn the strumming pattern from watching Marty and it sounded really good. I mean, for a beginner, I wont will be able to follow David Gilmore note for note and nuance for nuance, but I can follow Marty and actually play so people will know, "Hey, that is Floyd!" I think he does a great job. I am a beginner, but I can follow Marty and it sounds good. ![]() But if you follow his lessons, you will playing so that your family and friends will know what song you are playing. He says throughout his series to experiment and do your own thing - add your own riffs, etc. Marty shows you how to play things so that it sounds like the original. A lot of the songs that Marty teaches are from some of the best guitarists in the world. I'm also wondering what their future plans are with the release of other lessons.Īll in all, I still like the product and think that Marty is a good teacher. I will follow-up and let all of you know if I was able to get these lessons sent to me. Even the customer support comments on this page are very generic. At this point I'm not sure if they are going to ship them to me or not. Are they saying yes we will ship these out to you, or that their shipping department needs to approve this? They could have been a little human and said that they will take care of it for me and get them sent out right away. I received a quick reply stating that they have contacted their shipping department with my request. I have contacted their customer service with my request to have the Hendrix lessons sent to me. If you are a premium user, then you get access to the Hendrix lessons. Why don't they also have these as part of the lessons where premium users can access them directly online? They could do it the same as they do the free lessons. ![]() On top of having the CD's sent to me, I would really like to these Hendrix lessons put on the main site. What if Marty's site(s) go away? Plus, I don't care for how this was done through a different site. I really just want it sent to me on a DVD for safe keepings. I am also a GCC member and will agree that I don't want or need digital downloads. ![]() ![]() ![]() One thinkg I did learn with APT is that my focussing is pretty OK as the FHWM never got any better than when I focussed with the B mask. I don't know if this is due to my Windows' 10 or it's Stellarium itself - but just keep this in mind if you, too, run into this phenomena. If anyone else has the happen - roll it back and download the '32' instead. Here's to a simple life!!!! Once again Ivo, thanks for thinking about my problem. So now I downloaded the '64.' And the behavior happened again CRASH So I tried the '32' and, again, it works perfectly. All this automation is great when it works well. This has been over a 12 hour learning curve about technology! I think I will definately be giving EQMOD etc a miss as well. I hope that by keeping it as simple as possible (Stellarium via handset and USB / serial adaptor, and EOS utility for exposures) I can get imaging again. None of my cables are that long and I don't use a hub. I never did try to run the scope through it either. I have decided to KISS (Keep it simple stupid) and after a few hours of installing, uninstalling, updating and goodness knows what else I have finally got EOS Utility to work - I will be using that from now on as it worked for me prior to trying out APT (EOS only stopped working after installing and trying APT). The trials and tribulations of this hobby - I don't think I'd put up with it for anything else! So, it's back to the drawing board again today - I shall do a system restore and see whether I can get EOS Utility to work. I also remember the computer crashing that night and I also used to get a big arrow cursor appear for use instead of the smaller one - As though the screen resolution had been changed. It only started once I had downloaded and tried it for the first time. The only thing I can think of is that APT has caused some kind of configuration problem with my PC. Tried the guiding again and for 10 mins it was fine, both lines merrily bobbing about the middle line on the graph as always. Uninstalling APT and NOT reinstalling it. I thought that perhaps my mount had developed a fault and that the RA wasn't working - Yet it would slew happily via the handset, just not to where it should.įinal go, last night (this morning at 0200) was uninstalling PHD and reinstalling it. Realign carried out - Still the PHD graph was showing the RA (Blue line on the graph) climbing up as soon as calibration had been carried out. APT stopped and camera unplugged from PC. ![]() So, incase anyone reads this or has a similar issue - Here is the only thing I can put my issue down to - I recently downloaded APT and from there it all went wrong.ġ) EOS Utility stopped working straight away and despite several reinstalls still will not work at all - Little box saying 'programme has stopped working' - Nothing more.Ģ) PHD - could calibrate the scope, but the minute I went onto guiding the RA didn't work at all, guiding was lost within a few seconds.ģ) Stellarium was innaccurate and each time I slewed to something easily recognisable it had 'slipped' in the view and did not remain in the middle of viewĪll computer control was removed at this point (except PHD) - Stellarium unplugged and reverted to using the handset. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To attain more compact code, some people prefer to write CoffeeScript. WebStorm supports TypeScript and includes a TypeScript compiler. To add better type checking, some people prefer to write TypeScript. JavaScript is of course a rather prolix dynamically typed interpreted language. WebStorm lets you set your JavaScript language version, and it shows you the browser compatibility of your current choice. JavaScript is not only still evolving, but it has different implementations in different browsers and other environments. WebStorm easily navigates to declarations and symbols, and it finds and highlights usages of symbols, labels, and files. Viewing and navigation are extremely important to me when I’m reviewing code, whether it’s other people’s code, my old code, or my questionable new code. WebStorm’s JavaScript code completion for keywords, labels, variables, parameters, and functions is DOM-based, and it supports popular browser-specific methods. Whereas some code editors punt and treat the HTML as a plain string, WebStorm recognizes the embedded HTML and parses the next layer. You might not expect accurate code completion for difficult mixed-language cases, such as JavaScript that generates HTML. You’d expect syntax-coloring and limited code completion. It has everything you’d expect, plus many pleasant surprises. InfoWorldĪs an editor for web development projects, WebStorm is as good as anything else out there.

Visual Studio Code is a free lightweight IDE for Node.js and ASP.Net that combines Microsoft technologies, such as the TypeScript compiler and the Roslyn. Visual Studio Code will offer to do that for you when it recognizes common problems, such as the use of _dirname, which is a Node.js built-in variable. You can enhance IntelliSense by adding references to d.ts files from DefinitelyTyped. Automatic options include parenthesis closure, word completion, method lists, and parameter lists within a method. The same symbol table enables IntelliSense to give you great pop-up option lists for code completion throughout the typing of an expression. You can see the results in the box near the bottom of the screenshot, which shows the information for the hasOwnProperty method. Visual Studio Code sends your JavaScript code to the TypeScript compiler in the background to infer types and build a symbol table. Visual Studio Code has amazingly good JavaScript code completion, thanks to the TypeScript compiler and Salsa engine. Breaking with Microsoft’s historical pattern of only supporting Visual Studio on Windows, Visual Studio Code also runs on macOS and Linux.

This is why I propose the idea that an OMORI 2 would start fresh with a new story, setting, and cast of characters. A direct continuation would not work as a full-fledged RPG because there would be no “game” to speak of. I get that we’re attached to these characters and want to see how they grow and progress, especially after the good ending, but there’s no dancing around it. What kind of turn-based RPG gameplay would be involved with the aforementioned ideas? Effectively none, and there's no way that it could be stretched into a 25-hour RPG. I feel that, when people discuss an OMORI sequel, they often get too caught up with the story and completely ignore the gameplay aspects. ( plus the three friends’ reactions were SUPPOSED to be left up to player interpretation) These are examples of direct sequel ideas that, while not bad, would work infinitely better as a different form of media (such as a comic or short story) and not an RPG. "But what about a prequel that takes place before the incident?" “But what about a POV shift to another character?” “But what about game that shows how Aubrey, Kel, and Hero reacted to the truth?” “But what about a game about Sunny at his new home?” A continuation would work better in the form of something like a short story or comic, not a full-fledged RPG. The story is just too self-contained to allow an entirely new game that branches off of it, and I am extremely annoyed that people think otherwise. A direct sequel, prequel, or midquel game would be nigh impossible to pull off well. No matter which way you slice it, OMORI’s story is complete, done, tied up with a bow.

HTTP 1.1 is used throughout the web now and has been for quite some time, yet the folks at AdMuncher are still stuck on HTTP 1.0, and it seems to be out of laziness. So it's not just me saying it, but then again, you probably think everybody else is always wrong. ![]() Ad Muncher made the web pages load slower.

And no it does not slow any of the 3 PC's I use it on & no it's not my first day on the internet. I notice no slowdowns using AM - Your system will not have been 'hacked' what will have happened is that 'simultaneous' updates on AM will have been done on more than one IP address - Cancelling a license for this type of misuse is common on many single use software products. I really dislike this stupid expression 'fanboy' - That's now used on anyone that uses a program & often buys it & says the program is OK - AM is still well worth using, it works with all browsers I've used & does a better job than 'Adblock+' that actually does ask for donations so isn't free at all. Why should I pay twice for ad removal in one year? But hey, that's one thing that makes donateware so great. Anyhoo 'fanboy', like I stated in a prior review, I may very well 'donate' to AdBlock Plus when my current Ad Muncher license expires. As I stated, the changelog shows virtually no significant improvements, so there's not even a need to reinstall and try again.Īnd my gosh, should EVERYONE who uses software that asks for donations, donate in your mind, and even so far as to be "honest" in your mind?

The ONLY plus Ad Muncher has going for it over AdBlock Plus is the lack of ads when watching videos on some sites, but apparently still no real fix for sites such as Hulu. There IS a slowdown with the use of Ad Muncher on plenty of sites as compared to without its use.

The downside to feeders like this one is the cost. However, even the largest backyard songbirds likely won’t have any issues.įor example, adult cardinals usually weigh less than two ounces, so a feeder that spins at the weight of a pound would need eight adult cardinals to perch on it at one time. Most squirrels weigh over a pound, which is enough to set the feeder in motion. You may worry that your feeder will spin or close its ports with the weight of too many birds, but it’s typically not much of a concern. It carries a hefty total of 15 pounds of seed, providing plenty of food for the birds while keeping squirrels away. The length between the cage and the inner suet feeder likely isn’t enough to limit birds like grackles or starlings, but squirrels won’t be able to reach their paws in and come away with food. There are also caged suet feeders available such as this More Birds Suet Feeder if squirrels are wreaking havoc on your suet feeders. A tube feeder like this is probably best filled with thistle (nyjer) anyway, and smaller birds like finches, who love thistle, will have no problem navigating the barrier. On the other hand, larger birds like blue jays and even cardinals could also be turned away by the steel cage. Some may be able to stretch out and reach their bills to where the food is, but it won’t be an all-day grackle feeding frenzy like it is for some bird watchers. The gaps on a feeder like this one aren’t big enough for grackles to fit through. This can be either good or bad.įor example, you may want to keep large birds like grackles out to keep smaller birds a chance at feeding. While squirrels are kept out, smaller rodents like chipmunks will still be able to find their way in, and there’s the other possible side effect of limiting what birds can access the feeder. These styles enclose a standard feeder inside of a thin steel cage, which birds can sneak through easily, while squirrels are left on the outside, hopelessly reaching for the inner tube. The secret to limiting squirrels on your feeder could be as simple as a cage-type of feeder. Here’s a quick breakdown of a couple of different squirrel-proof feeder models that actually work. ![]() So many boast that they baffle squirrels, but it’s not always clear how they do it. It’s hard to know which squirrel-proof feeder is actually squirrel-proof, however. Over the years, the wonders of technology have produced numerous bird feeder models that limit squirrel access. From different foods to squirrel-proof feeders, inventive birdwatchers have found a few ways to deter squirrels. Other squirrel-baffling techniquesĪ metal squirrel baffle isn’t the only technique employed by bird watchers.
