Today I learned two things:

1. If you look harmless enough, a locksmith will just replace your car keys without asking for any proof of identity or ownership. Crocs, pajamas, a hand-knit scarf, a cardigan... No need for pesky things like car registrations or licenses.

(I told this to @anthropocite and received the response of "I'm just imaging your locksmith encounter with the Michael Westen voiceover narration." Yes, exactly. 😂😂)

2. There is an RFID chip in all newish cars, since about 1996 (my '97 Ford Escort didn't have this but most cars did apparently) - you have to program a car key to the RFID chip in order for the key to start the car. Then you have to clear out all the old data from any old keys. Any key tool can unlock a turn-key door, but without the RFID match, the car won't start. This is both why you can't steal most cars with a screwdriver anymore (screwdrivers don't match the transponders), and also why people were able to steal those Hyundais and Kias with a USB cable (no transponder in those cars).

Ooooo a trade? Delightful! It's like a book exchange! Alright, Here I go! :D

How about "Blue Beard"? :D

Once upon a time lived a very rich man, who, due to his blue bread instilled fear and disgust into anyone who saw him.

The men had been Married to 5 different women in the past but each of them disappeared mysteriously.

The one everyone called Blue Beard was now looking for a new spouse.

All of the ladies around obviously avoided him at all costs but one of them, blinded by all the money agreed to wed the terrible man.

A month after the wedding, Blue Beard left on a trip and on his way out gave the lady the keys of the house,

BUT there was one room that she was never to enter under any circumstance.

So of course the instant her husband leaves the house curiosity takes her and she opens the room.

Only to find inside where Blue Beards' 5 previous wife's limp body hanging on the walls.

The lady in her terror dropped the key into a pool of blood.

She ran out of the room and cleaned everything up like nothing happened but unfortunately, no matter how much the scrubbed, the blood would not leave the enchanted key.

In despair, the lady called her siblings for help.

Her sister living nearby immediately rushed in to comfort her. But her brothers, a dragon and a musketeer, were nowhere to be seen.

Eventually, Blue Bread came home and discovered the blood on the key.

He was about to kill her but she begged to have one last moment to pray. He agreed and locked her in a room to pray.

Her sister who had hidden herself kept looking outside in the hope that their brothers would come but they were yet to be seen.

By the end of the day Blue Bread had enough and he all but grabbed the lady by the hair, knife to her neck.

When suddenly the sister screamed, "They are here!"

During the brief moment of confusion, the door slammed open, and the brothers rushed to they're sisters' rescue.

Blue Bleard was slain, and the lady inherited all his riches and she remarried to a nice man.

She lived happily ever after!~*

In other versions of the story, she doesn't have siblings and she gets devoured :)

There it is! Your turn now! :D

-Fae

Scott: Huh, thats a pretty interesting one to start with, I don't see the problem with having blue hair though, I do and I am very attractive in my humble opinion.

Scar: Story time!

Scott: Oh right! A long time ago, back during the second reign-

Grian: Second reign?

Scott: It's a Rivendell history thing, our history is divided in "reigns". The first reign is what we call the first 100 or so years of our empires history while the second reign is the longest reign as it spans around 350 years. When I was made Emperor it was the 79th year of the 6th reign.

Grian: I see...

Scott: Anyway, during the second reign this bard compiled a bunch of stories and folklore into a collection and published it and It's still read in Rivendell to this day. One of those stories is the story of Penelope.

Scar: Ohhhh!

Scott: Penelope according to the tale was a young woman who lived in poverty and who scavanged small animals to survive. One day while hunting a bear arrived and attacked her forcing her to run deep into the woods, losing her way back in the escape.

Scar: *gasp*

Grian: It's just a stor-

Scar: Shhhhhhhhhhh

Scott: After walking around for hours Penelope found a dilapidated house inhabitated by a very old and frail woman, the woman offered Penelope a cup of tea and the two started talking. The woman after having heard of Penelopes suffering offered her gifts. First she offered a big piece of raindeer meat, but Penelope refused for she was afraid the old woman would starve during the winter. Then the woman offered a heavy bear hyde but this gift was also refused for Penelope was afraid old woman would freeze to death without it during the winter. The old woman tried offering her pet rabbit but Penelope refused for she was afraid the old wonan would be alone during the winter. The woman then told Penelope the way back home and offered her a small dirty rock as a token of gratitude and Penelope accepted it.

Grian: ...a rock?

Scott: Once back home however she discovered that the rock was actually a diamond, she first tried to find the hut again but couldn't find it so she went to the jeweler and sold it, gaining enough riches to live in wealth the rest of her life and still have money to help her once fellow impovirished.

Scar: ... Will this one have a good ending?

Scott: Eventually after many days the emperor having heard of the gem interrogated Penelope and discovered the location of the hut. He then irrupted into the old womans hut and demanded a diamond. When the wonan said she didn't have more the emperor asked her for the meat, the hyde and the rabbit and the old woman was forced to give them to him. On his way back however the meat attracted a hoard of wolves, in his fear he dropped the rabbit and it bit the horse of the emperor, the emperor fell of the scared horse into a lake and the heavy leather pushed him to drown.

Scar: ...

Grian: Serves him right..

Scott: The old lady was actually a witch and those three items were cursed, with her magic she made Penelope the empress of Rivendell and everyone lived happily ever after... There was actually an empress back in the first reign called Penelope so this story might have some historical roots that got muddled in the years between the first and second reign.

Our Flag Means Death Season 2

The New Zealand Film Commission and Tourism New Zealand partner with Max for season two of Our Flag Means Death to showcase New Zealand to international audiences.

Fast Facts

96% New Zealand crew

78% New Zealand cast

Production based at Kumeu Film Studios

Post-production took place in Auckland

10 New Zealand HODs

67 shoot days

35 sets built

780 Crew

Our Flag Means Death is executive produced by creator-showrunner David Jenkins and Emmy®-nominated star and New Zealander Taika Waititi. In addition to his duties as showrunner, Jenkins directed the first two episodes of season two. Garrett Basch, Dan Halsted, Adam Stein, and Antoine Douaihy also serve as executive producers. Production for the show moved from Los Angeles to New Zealand for its second season.

Our Flag Means Death stars New Zealanders Taika Waititi, Rhys Darby and David Fane, as well as Madeleine Sami (most recently of the Australian mystery-comedy Deadloch) and Samoan-born Anapela Polataivao.

Many of the key creatives and department heads are New Zealanders, including writer Maddie Dai, production designer Ra Vincent, hair and makeup designer Nancy Vincent and art decorator Megan Vertelle. Together, this talented team elevated Our Flag Means Death, contributing their individual expertise to create a visually stunning and emotionally engaging viewing experience. Of the 780 crew contracted onto the show, 350 worked full time.  

Creative talent and picturesque landscapes were key motivators for the move Down Under. Showrunner David Jenkins said “We were looking at the season two budget and asking ‘How do you get the most money on screen?’ New Zealand was the answer. I’ve seen more of our budget end up on screen than it did in the U.S. in season one.”

New Zealand also added a breath-taking backdrop to the swashbuckling adventures of the crew. The lush greenery and stunning coastline provided the perfect setting for the 67-day shoot in Auckland at the end of 2022. There were around 50 sets involved, including the 30-acre forest behind the Kumeu Film Studio, Piha Beach, Howick Historical Village and the wild, black sand Bethells Beach.

And there’s one returning figure impossible to miss on the soundstage: The Revenge, the stately ship that Stede Bonnet and Blackbeard (a.k.a. Ed) commandeered at the end of season one. In real life, it was carefully transported across the Pacific Ocean from the show’s original Los Angeles soundstage. The Revenge is approximately 7m x 28m and there were 3x boat sets that were used to create 10 different boats. The production shot in the Dive Tank at Kumeu Film Studios, built a floating market in the Republic of Pirates, and provided storm water effects for The Revenge.

Virtual Production

Given that many scenes in Our Flag Means Death take place on the deck of a ship at sea, virtual production was the most practical and cost-effective way of filming.

Virtual production is the process of generating motion picture or computer-generated photorealistic imagery displayed on a dynamically active large scale LED wall to create a ‘virtual’ environment or location on a soundstage.

Surrounding the ship was a giant “volume” wall comprised of 1700 LED monitors displaying a photorealistic ocean background with rolling waves. As a crane-mounted camera weaved around, the images on the digital display moved with it, creating a seamlessly integrated backdrop.

The New Zealand vendors that worked on the screen were NEP Sweetwater, NEP Big Picture, Riggaz with Attitudes, Theatrical Solutions, Xytech and Disguise.

The creative benefit of shooting on the volume wall was that the production could shoot in multiple locations and times of day all within just a few hours. Additionally, the actors could interact with what they are seeing and the lighting shifted in real time.

Careful planning of scenes and shots resulted in the rapid and efficient deployment of a select number of pre-processed moving plates (backgrounds) on set. Paihia, Bay of Islands, Mercer Bay Loop and Waitakere were among the New Zealand locations featured in the plate shots.

The New Zealand Screen Production Rebate - (International) and 5% Uplift

The New Zealand Film Commission (NZFC) and Tourism New Zealand (TNZ) partnered with Max on season two of the show as a part of the New Zealand Screen Production Grant 5% Uplift.

The partnership recognised the significant economic, cultural and industry benefits the Our Flag Means Death production brought to New Zealand. This included a marketing partnership with TNZ and NZFC to promote New Zealand as a tourism and filmmaking destination. It also included a knowledge-sharing programme related to the LED Volume Wall used during production, and collaborations with New Zealand-based virtual production companies and a wider industry workshop.

The 5% Uplift has now been redeveloped:It’s simple to navigate, and the criteria is clearer and more objective. Has increased opportunities to earn points in the test. Has increased weighting on New Zealand screen workforce development and production activity. Recognises repeat business to encourage studios and productions to return. Introduces sustainability criteria to support Aotearoa New Zealand’s shift to a low-emissions economy.

Applications open for the redeveloped 5% Uplift on 1 November 2023, documentation and guidance will be provided before this date.

The New Zealand Film Commission administers the NZSPR for International Productions on behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

The purpose of the NZSPR for International Productions is to incentivise the production of foreign and domestic large budget films, television and other format productions in New Zealand in order to provide economic and industry development benefits to New Zealand. More information here.

A domestic rebate is also available to New Zealand productions and Official Co-productions. Click here for more information.

About Our Flag Means Death

Our Flag Means Death is based (very) loosely on the true adventures of 18th century would-be pirate Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby). After trading the seemingly charmed life of a gentleman for one of a swashbuckling buccaneer, Stede became captain of the pirate ship Revenge. Struggling to earn the respect of his potentially mutinous crew, Stede’s fortunes changed after a fateful run-in with the infamous Captain Blackbeard (Taika Waititi). To their surprise, the wildly different Stede and Blackbeard found more than friendship on the high seas…they found love. Now, they have to survive it.

In New Zealand, season two debuts on Neon on October 6 and is coming soon to Sky Open.

Shamir the Wyrm Queen Warframe

Just like Max it was no surprise to me that Shamir was a favorite of the season. Since most of the other frames from this season are rather simple and old-school I am going to try to make Shamir a bit more complex.

Health: 350 (450 at rank 30) Shields: 350 (450 at rank 30) Armor: 250 Energy: 100 (150 at rank 30) Sprint Speed: 0.95

Passive: Every time Living Ground and Nightcrawlers damage an enemy Shamir has a 30% chance to generate one third of a stack of Worm Food and every time Shamir kills an enemy with damage from any ability she is guaranteed to generate one third of a stack of Worm Food. Worm Food stacks fuel or empower Shamir's abilities. Worm Food has a maximum of 100 stacks.

Ability 1: Living Ground, 25 energy. Shamir designates a patch of ground in her sight over unrestricted range with a 12 meter radius to become infested with Golden Maws for 12 seconds, turning the area into a deadly trap as her monstrous pets churn just beneath the surface, waiting to pounce and bite. While an enemy is standing in the area of Living Ground they will be bitten by a golden maw once per second inflicting 150 points each of impact, puncture, and slash damage with 25% status chance and apply one of three effects with each having a 33.3% chance of occurring. If one of the effects cannot be triggered on the target the remaining two will have 50% chance to occur and if two of the effects cannot be triggered on a target then the last one is guaranteed to occur. A. Disarm: The enemy is disarmed, causing them to drop their currently equipped ranged weapon. This effect cannot trigger on enemies without a ranged weapon, enemies that have already been disarmed, or enemies which are otherwise immune to disarming. B. Ragdoll: The enemy is ragdolled for several seconds, rendering them helpless and vulnerable to melee finisher attacks until they are able to upright themselves. This effect cannot trigger on enemies which it has already affected within the last 10 seconds, enemies with overguard, or enemies which are otherwise immune to being ragdolled. C. Bleed: The enemy is guaranteed to recieve a slash status effect from the attack in addition to its normal status chance. Apart from enemies which are immune to slash status procs there are no conditions where this effect is prevented. Holding the ability key for Living Ground will highlight its target area in Shamir's energy color for precise positioning. Up to four instances of Living Ground can be active at once and casting the ability while four instances are already active will replace the oldest one. Living Ground's damage increases by 10 points of each damage type for every stack of Worm Food Shamir currently has.

Ability 2: Leech, costs 1 worm food (or 50 energy). If Shamir does not have at least one stack of Worm Food to spend on Leech it will instead cost 50 energy to activate. Leech summons up a long and slender golden maw to wrap around the enemy closest to Shamir's crosshairs within 30 meters which staggers all enemies within an 8 meter radius and trapping the target in the Leech maw's coils for the next 20 seconds. While coiled, the enemy is completely disabled as it stays held in place by the Golden Maw, becomes invulnerable to incoming damage, and slowly has its vital fluids and energy drained creating an aura with an 8 meter radius; when Shamir or her allies stand within the aura the leech feeds its stolen vitality to them, restoring 25% of their missing health per second, while draining 1% of maximum health per second from the victim. Pressing the ability key while aiming at an enemy coiled by Leech will release the victim early before duration expires. Damage from outside sources inflicted on the victim while it was invulnerable will be dealt in full when it is released, and all status effects it received will resume their effects.

Ability 3: Nightcrawlers, costs 5 worm food. Offering up several pieces of generated Worm Food Shamir summons up one of her three unique elite Golden Maws to join her in battle. If Shamir has none of her special maws currently summoned then each one has a 33.3% chance to be summoned when Nightcrawlers is cast, if she has one summoned the remaining two have a 50% chance to be summoned and if she has two of them active the final maw will be guaranteed to be summoned. Nightcrawlers can only have three maws summoned at once. Each unique elite Golden Maw lasts for 10 seconds or until killed. These maws have health, shields, and armor equal to 2x of Shamir's and their basic attack deals 500 damage of their specified element with a guaranteed status proc. For every stack of Worm Food Shamir currently has the unique elite Golden Maws' attacks deal an additional 20 damage. When one of the maws summoned by Nightcrawlers expires or is killed it bursts, dealing 5x its normal attack damage to all enemies within 8 meters. A. Caustic Maw: Deals pure corrosive damage and prefers to target the enemy with the highest armor value nearby. This maw's acidic saliva dissolves the corpses of enemies it kills, giving them a 60% chance to drop extra loot. B. Noxious Maw: Deals pure gas damage and prefers to target groups of enemies standing close to each other. This maw's normal attacks cleave, dealing partial damage to all enemies within striking distance. C: Virulent Maw: Deals pure viral damage and prefers to target the enemy with the highest max health nearby. This maw is able to perform finisher attacks on enemies that are vulnerable to melee ground finishers, parazon mercy kills, or are currently below 20% of their max health.

Ability 4: The Wyrm Turns, costs 1 worm food per second. Shamir reveals her final form, beautiful shame of the Empire, the corpse eating golden dragon. In her Wyrm form Shamir completely shapeshifts into an orowyrm-like monster that delivers death to all foes in its sight with terrible power and grace. In her Wyrm form Shamir's health, shields, and armor are all multiplied by 3, her movement is altered to resemble that of the orowyrms of Duviri, and she loses access to her normal weaponry in exchange for a pair of exalted weapons: Dragon's Breath and Golden Fangs. -Dragon's Breath is categorized as an exalted primary beam weapon for modding purposes, a flamethrower that fires a wide and long spray of pure heat damage with very high status chance and average crit. Enemies killed by Dragon's Breath will release a fiery explosion, dealing 5% of their max health to all other enemies within 8 meters as pure heat damage with a guaranteed heat status proc. -Golden Fangs is an exalted melee weapon that deals roughly even values of impact, slash, and puncture damage and has extraordinarily high per-hit damage but very slow attack speed and very high critical chance with normal status chance. For every stack of Worm Food Shamir consumes while in her Wyrm form her exalted weapons gain 1% bonus damage up to a maximum of 100%. Kills from Dragon's Breath and Golden Fangs have a 15% chance to generate one third of a stack of Worm Food.

Subsumed ability: Nightcrawlers (Activation cost is changed to 75 energy, synergy with Worm Food is lost.)

Signature Weapon: Blackwater. Shamir's signature weapon, a melee blade-and-whip that appears to be both Orokin in origin and infested in nature, yet another piece of her beautifully ugly and royally shameful existence as undertaker of the empire. Blackwater has high attack speed at the cost of below average per-hit damage, high critical chance and critical multiplier at the cost of low status chance. Blackwater deals mostly slash damage, moderate puncture and viral, and very low impact. As a unique passive effect every time the Blackwater lands a level one yellow critical hit the status chance on the hit is multiplied by 1.5x, 2x for level two orange crits, and 2.5x for all tiers of red crit; levels three and higher. As Shamir's signature weapon when she wields it every time the Blackwater crits it has a 5% chance to increase the critical hit's level by one.

Signature Companion: Conqueror. A special sentinel born through a combination of technocyte and Tenno ingenuity, a lethal companion whose half-infested nature mirrors the Warframes it protects. Conqueror has two unique precepts: Detritivore and Omnivore. Detritivore releases a total of eight viral bolts from the sentinel, each one fired 45 degrees apart and able to seek out and strike an enemy within its own 45 degree 30 meter targeting cone. If no enemy exists within its range the bolt will continue traveling outward from its point of origin searching for an enemy to strike for up to four seconds. Upon striking an enemy each bolt does 150 viral damage with a guaranteed viral status proc and heals Conqueror for 25 points. Healing from this effect can restore health, shields, and overshields. This precept has a 12 second cooldown. Omnivore launches a spherical singularity several meters in diameter which travels slowly in the direction it was fired with infinite punch-through lasting for 8 seconds. All enemies it passes through are dealt 600 magnetic damage with a guaranteed magnetic status proc. As it travels the sphere absorbs enemy attacks that pass through it, adding 10% of the absorbed attack's damage to the sphere's own. This precept has a 30 second cooldown. Conqueror includes the robotic companion weapon the Borer. Borer is a held-beam style weapon that accepts rifle mods and deals pure corrosive damage with very high status chance but very low critical chance. Borer's beam can chain up to 3 nearby enemies within 7 meters from the initial target, with each chain doing 75% of the previous chain's damage. As Shamir's signature companion when she and Conqueror are used in tandem Conqueror's overshield cap is doubled.

Closing Notes: Shamir is named after a legendary worm from the legends of Solomon which could dissolve stone, and in some apocryphal tellings was given to Solomon by Asmodeus. After drafting a few much more simple and old-school warframes I feel that Shamir is a breath of fresh, complicated air. She's no Rube Goldberg warframe but I like the interactions of her kit. Also, yes, Leech is nearly a one-for-one copy of Garuda's Blood Altar and I'm not apologizing. The reason her signature melee weapon is a blade and whip is because of the so-called "unholy trinity" of parasitic worms; roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms; so I gave her a melee weapon with a whip and hook. Her signature sentinel is named after the Conqueror Worm, a poem by Edgar Allen Poe.

We have our first real event in Neural Cloud! It looks relatively lightweight comparatively - structured somewhat like an Arknights event (shocker, right) with a series of story stages and a fairly simplistic event shop. I also absoluvely love Kuro’s actual livestream in the event page, it’s adorable. “If only she played like she talks”...

Some basic bullet points on what to expect from the event:

Story event stages only drop donations once. In order to farm donations, you need to do the challenge quests. The first one looks very approachable so this is more of an organization thing than an actual “challenge”.

Once you’ve finished a challenge quest, you apparently get a substantial combat boost, so that you can farm them more easily. Entering the stage doesn’t cost keys but collecting drops does (like main story nodes).

Be mindful of the event quests as they award additional donations! Every little bit helps!

I haven’t seen any indications that there is a daily limit on the number of drops or runs you can make at the event stages. However, I would discourage using keys or sand for the current farming stage. I’ve seen indications in a few places that there are multiple farming stages despite having only unlocked one personally, so it’s possible that they’ll open up later in the event cycle, and with how expensive the event shop is I have to imagine the drop rates will be better as time goes on. In before I am wrong heehee hoohoo.

Kuro is GAY. DEAL WITH IT.

Meanwhile, here’s a breakdown of what’s actually in the event shop you will be spending donations on. Bear in mind that there are three different sections to the shop - the first has the “most valuable” and unique rewards, the second has more generic rewards, and the third is the “hey you have extra drops? cool dump them here!” section.

in “Love Conquers All” (total prices shown, not per-unit):

15x Kuro Neural Fragments for 750 donations

15x Kuro Neural Fragments for 1500 donations

3 advanced search commands for 900 donations

150 neural kits for 3000 donations

Two equipment choice boxes for 200 donations

Two equipment choice boxes for 400 donations

Four equipment choice boxes for 1200 donations

Three reconfig generators for 600 donations 

Six reconfig generators for 1800 donations

Event dorm poster for 200 donos

Profile card background for 200 donos

Clearing this section of the shop would cost 10,750 donations.

In “Die-Hard Fan’s Edition”:

45x three random equips for 2700 donations

20x blocks of 9000 xp for 1000 donations

30 gold sniper chips for 350 donations

500 furniture coins for 1000 donations

12,000 skill samples for 750 donations

12 skill pivots (!!) for 400 donations

6 lots of 9000 diggcoins for 300 donations

Clearing this section of the shop would cost 6,500 donations. Despite the name implying that this is the “die-hard” section, I would clear this side first, especially if you aren’t confident that your dolls are up to snuff. This is a lot of very valuable gear.

Finally, you can offload excess donations for XP, skill samples, or diggcoins. The conversion rate is about twice as expensive as the lots in the die-hard fan’s edition so you will want to make sure you’ve cleared those out before spending any drops on these. The total cost to clear both sides of the shop is 17,250 donations.

Congress and President Joe Biden largely prevented hunger from getting worse during the pandemic with a series of stopgap measures that expanded benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap), fed children when closed schools suspended free lunches for the most vulnerable and helped food banks obtain groceries.

But several of those programs have ended this year and dramatic inflation has made it even more difficult to afford groceries, leaving many food banks with empty shelves and hungry Americans wondering how to make ends meet.

The Ohio collective’s warehouse was alarmingly empty before the charity dipped into its own funds to buy increasingly expensive items that previously would have been donated or provided by federal programs, said Mike Hochron, senior vice-president of communications for the group. Supply chain problems have made the problem worse: at least 80 truckloads of cereal and pasta have been canceled in the past year, he said.

“The biggest shift is we have to buy a whole lot more,” Hochron said, standing in a cavernous warehouse with shelves of crackers, soap, ground meat, papayas and other grocery items. “In some cases, our buying power is half what it was a couple of years ago.”

Despite similar stories from food banks around the country, direct discussions about food security have been seemingly missing from many political races in battleground states, though Republicans nationally have been campaigning more broadly on inflation and the cost of living, while protecting abortion after the fall of Roe v Wade has been a key issue for Democrats.

In Ohio, for instance, hunger is not mentioned among the key issues on the campaign websites for Senate candidates JD Vance and Tim Ryan, even as they debate issues such as crime that are often caused by hunger. Neither candidate responded to interview requests.

In the Ohio governor’s race, Democratic challenger Nan Whaley has proposed a $350 (£313) “inflation rebate” for most residents, in part to pay for food. Her opponent, Republican incumbent Mike DeWine, does not mention food or hunger on his campaign site.

US politicians have a long history of ignoring hunger as a campaign issue, said Ann Crigler, a political science professor at the University of Southern California. That’s partly because it’s embarrassing and partly because they don’t know how to fix it, she said.

“People don’t want to admit there’s this big problem happening here,” Crigler said. “They act like it’s something that only happens overseas.”

The same absence is true of the campaign platforms of the Pennsylvania candidates John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz, who are locked in a tight Senate race.

Some say it’s hard to imagine hunger not being a key issue in the midterm elections, whether or not candidates are discussing it.

“I think people are more aware today than they were a few years ago about what’s at stake,” said the Massachusetts congressman James McGovern, who helped organize the recent White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health, the first such gathering since 1969. “Food prices have gone up, fuel costs have gone up. I really do think people get it. We’ll see.”

And yet several food bank clients interviewed across the country said they either don’t plan to vote or wouldn’t take food policies into account if they did.

Kimberly Burkins, who lives in a motel in York, Pennsylvania, supplements her federal food stamps with food from the local Salvation Army, said she nevertheless doesn’t support expanding federal hunger programs.

“I appreciate the assistance, but I don’t think people should be getting free things,” said Burkins, who spent two years on disability benefits and makes just $800 (£716) a month.

The idea that hungry people would vote against their own interests is rooted in society’s broken philosophy of the “undeserving poor”, said Marion Nestle, a retired New York University professor of nutrition, food studies and public health.

“These ingrained attitudes that the poor are undeserving, that they brought it on themselves, that poverty is somehow self-inflicted, are so deeply ingrained in the human psyche that it has to be taught out of you,” Nestle said. “You have to really understand how societies work to understand why some people are poor and some people aren’t.”

Some food bank clients said they understand the distinction. Josh and Misty Murray, parents of three who were waiting in a Ford pickup at the Ohio food bank, said hunger policies would be on their minds at the polls. Both state employees, they started coming to the food bank six months ago after their rent jumped by 15%.

“It’s a hit on your ego, but you do what you gotta do to feed your family,” Josh Murray said. “It was coming down to keeping the lights on or having meals.”

In Larimer county, Colorado, north of Denver, the local food bank has seen a 33% increase in visits to its brick-and-mortar pantries since January and a 67% increase at its mobile pantries, said Amy Pezzani, CEO of the Larimer county food bank. And while clients used to rely on the pantries for about a quarter of their food, many now receive nearly all their food from the charity, Pezzani said.

And while clients previously visited those pantries about once a month, they now average nearly three visits per month, she said.

“In our area, the cost of housing has increased exponentially and has increased much faster than wages,” Pezzani said. Congress should make some of the pandemic measures permanent to prevent even more hunger, she added. “We’re going to need to do more, especially if we keep seeing these increases.”

As in other battleground states, neither Colorado Senate candidate – Michael Bennet or Joe O’Dea – lists hunger prevention as a priority.

Food bank leaders and experts said they hope voters – whether hungry or not – understand the importance of their decisions in November. With a possible recession looming and Congress failing to codify some of the most effective pandemic aid programs, the upcoming elections could dramatically affect hunger in the next year.

About one-third of people without consistent access to food are ineligible for Snap benefits, said Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach, a Northwestern University economics professor. The country needs better policies to keep hungry people from falling through the cracks, she said.

“A lot of these pandemic relief ideas have come and gone,” said Whitmore Schanzenbach, who attended the White House hunger conference. “I wish we would have kept some of them. The child tax credit reduced poverty 50%. Why didn’t we keep it?”

Lisa Ortega, 64, was forced to turn to the Larimer county food bank about three years ago when a series of health problems put her out of work. She lives in a Habitat for Humanity-built house in Loveland, Colorado, and said she hopes voters show a little empathy when they head to the polls.

“People need to look at this and change their ideas,” Ortega said. “Someday they may be in this situation where they have to go to the food bank. It happened to me.”

Lastly, I have mentioned many features of the Cricut Mug Press, so make sure you review them. It will help you know the reasons for buying. Let’s get straight into this blog and find the best reasons to understand why the Cricut machine is the only choice for you!

Cricut Mug Press Review: Key Features

I really appreciate Cricut’s innovative ideas in making such an advanced Mug Press. This is designed for beginner crafters, so everyone can use it hassle-free. I have seen a slight difference in both since I have also used a conventional Mug Press. The difference is that Cricut’s Mug Press is very easy to use.

Here are the key features that you must know about Cricut Mug Press:

Helps you personalize the mug in no time.

Thanks to Cricut for offering such an amazing feature in the easy-to-use Mug Press. These were the main reasons I gave Mug Press a thought!

PRICE! Well, this is the most important thing that I have ever missed! Also, I want all my readers to know Mug Press’s cost before they purchase. I do not want to disappoint you, but the Cricut Mug Press is really not cheap. If you want to get this press without any materials or bundles, you will need $179.99.

Besides, if you want Mug Press bundles with essential materials, it will cost you about $199.99. In addition to this bundle, you get the following items:

Ceramic Mug Blank, White – 12 oz/340 ml (4 ct)

Infusible Ink Markers (1.0), Neon’s (5 ct)

Infusible Ink Pattern, Pink Lemonade (4.5\” x 12\”)

Infusible Ink Pattern, Purple Water Splash (4.5\” x 12\”)

Heat Resistant Tape

Instead, you can also get the Mug Press with Everything Materials bundle. It offers all the items a crafter needs to make a top-notch Mug. But what’s the price for this Cricut bundle set? It’s just $239.99!

The items included in this Cricut Mug Press + Everything bundle are as follows:

Cricut Mug Press Review: Comparison

So, here I will show you a comparison between Cricut Mug Press and the traditional one. Since I have used both, I can assure you that both are great in their own way. Speaking of the Cricut press machine, it is faster and beginner-friendly, and one-touch settings make it user-friendly.

However, I have noticed many errors in the traditional press, as the temperature setting is fairly complex. Overall, I find the Cricut Mug Press the best in terms of quality and usage.

Final Words

Cricut Mug Press can be a great tool for novice users. This is the best tool to personalize coffee mugs; if you want to sell them, it would be the cherry on the cake. In this Cricut Mug Press review, I have clearly explained 3 main points: key features, price, and comparison between Mug Press & traditional press. Find the reasons to know why Cricut Mug Press is right for you!

FAQs

Question 1: Do I really need Cricut Mug Press?

Answer: If you are a novice and want to personalize your mug, you must go for it! The Cricut Mug Press is designed so that anyone can use it without anyone’s help. I personally prefer this machine because it meets all my requirements for creating a good-looking mug.

Question 2: Can I use tumblers with my Cricut Mug Press?

Answer: In short, no! The Cricut Mug Press is capable of pressing against the flat round surface. As a result, the tumblers and any other cups with grooves or non-cylindrical shapes will not fit with your machine. But, still, some tumblers may work if they have enough of a straight wall surface.

Question 3: What type of mugs are compatible with Cricut Mug Press?

Answer: If you are wondering whether you can use regular mugs with your Cricut machine, well, you can certainly use them. Just make sure they have a special coating that allows sublimation and that they should also fit your machine. However, Cricut Mug Press can use 350 to 470 ml mugs without any problem. Ensure you are using the mugs within this range.

In fact, if you lose your fob or smart key it could cost you up to $350. Modern cars utilize electronic fobs and keys that allow you to open doors and start engines.

Keys for older cars and vehicles that do not have transponder chips are more affordable to replace. Additionally you could save money on new car keys by using a third-party provider or purchasing a new key online.

Key fobs that are standard are inexpensive to duplicate, however they're not as durable as the newer models that have an additional layer of security. These keys have a special head that has a chip that communicates with the car's computer. A duplicate key cannot function without the chip, even having the same ridges and grooves as the original. They are more expensive than traditional keys due to the fact that they require two steps laser cutting and programming the key to your vehicle. In certain situations, a locksmith will need to disassemble the transponder chip in order to program it correctly. This is a dangerous job that should be performed only by a locksmith who has specialized training. The process can be lengthy and costly when they need to replace any other parts, including the housing that holds the chip. For the most recent model automobiles, you'll have to bring your car into the dealership to have an updated key programmed to your vehicle. You'll need to present evidence of ownership, such as your registration papers or title documents. Also, you'll need to wait for the dealer to make an order and match a new key to your existing key.

This will help you save money in the long-term when it comes time to replace or repair your car keys. Where You Live The location of your home can impact the price the locksmith or auto dealer will charge to replace keys. If you reside in a large city, the prices are likely to be more expensive than if you resided in rural or a small town area. This is due to the fact that the service provider has to travel farther to get to your location, which means higher prices. Another aspect that could affect the cost of replacing car keys is the time and place you lose your keys. If you lose your keys during the night of a holiday or during the night it can add to the overall price. You may also be charged for the inconvenience of having to wait longer for a technician to arrive. The type of key you own can also impact the price. Some cars only have basic mechanical keys, or standard keys, whereas others are equipped with a transponder chip, key fob or smart keys. The cost of replacing keys with modern technology will be higher. Certain of these high-tech keys require programming by a dealership or auto locksmith. This can take up to an hour or more and is another reason the cost is more expensive than a basic key. Those who have older cars with standard keys that do not have transponder chips will typically pay less for an entirely new key. Standard key cutting typically requires reading the cut marks on the ignition or the VIN number to determine which key is right for the car. Many of these keys require that they be paired with the computer of the vehicle to unlock the door and then start the engine. If you lost your keys and are unable to find them, you can contact the dealership that you purchased the car, but that is not always an option. You might be able to file a claim for a replacement fob or key, based on your insurance policy.

How to Find Reliable Services for Plumbing in Irvine

Plumbing is one of those things we often take for granted until something goes wrong. When you have a leaky faucet, a clogged drain, or need a new water heater installed, you need a plumber you can rely on. But with so many options out there, how do you find the right one? In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to find the best plumbing in Irvine, ensuring your plumbing needs are met by experienced professionals who charge a fair price for their work.

What to Look for in Your Plumber?

When it comes to plumbing, you don't want to leave things to chance. Here are some key factors to consider when hiring a plumber:

1. Licensing and Insurance

First and foremost, make sure the plumber you choose is licensed and insured. Licensing is crucial because it shows that the plumber has the necessary skills and expertise to handle your plumbing project. Insurance, often referred to as bonding, is essential to protect both you and the service provider in case of any damages that might occur during the installation or repair work. Always ask to see their credentials before hiring.

2. Honesty and Transparency

Dealing with a vague or unreliable plumber can be incredibly frustrating. It's essential to establish clear communication right from the start. If you have specific requirements or need the work to be completed within a certain timeframe, make sure you communicate these details clearly and ensure the plumber understands and agrees to your conditions before hiring them. Transparency in all aspects of the job is key to a successful plumbing in Irvine.

3. Price vs. Value

While it can be tempting to go for the cheapest option, this may not always be the best choice. When selecting a plumber, it's a good idea to get multiple estimates to compare prices and services. However, remember that quality work often comes with a slightly higher price tag. Don't compromise on the quality of service for a lower price, as it could end up costing you more in the long run. Look for a balance between affordability and expertise.

4. Experience and Reputation

Experience matters when it comes to plumbing in Irvine. Plumbers who have been in the business for a longer time are more likely to have encountered a variety of plumbing issues and have the knowledge to handle them effectively. Do some research to find out how long the plumber or plumbing service has been in operation. A decade or two of experience is a good indicator of a seasoned professional who can provide excellent service.

5. References

One of the most reliable ways to gauge the quality of a plumber's work is by talking to their previous clients. Reputable plumbers typically keep a list of references handy and are more than willing to share contact information with potential clients. Reach out to these references and ask about their experiences with the plumber. Were they satisfied with the work? Did the plumber meet their expectations? This can provide valuable insights into the plumber's performance and reliability.

6. Get a Guarantee

Always, and we mean always, get a written guarantee from your plumber. If a plumber claims they can perform a specific repair or installation, having that agreement in writing is crucial. It serves as a form of protection for you in case any unforeseen problems arise after the work is completed. A reputable plumber will stand behind their work and willingly provide a written guarantee.

Understanding the Cost: You Must know

Now that you know what to look for in a plumber, let's talk about the cost. The average cost of hiring a plumber in Irvine is approximately £50 per hour or £350 per day. However, keep in mind that the final cost can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the plumbing work, the individual plumber or plumbing service, and their level of experience. Additionally, you may be required to pay a callout fee, especially if you need plumbing services outside of regular business hours, which can add an extra £100-£120 to the bill.

Uropygi

The product of a deranged mind, this highly tactical archwing was sanctioned by the Naiad’s Quill after much scrutiny, on the provision that it would only be used in the Tenno’s hour of great need.  Its barbaric design and potent abilities make its wearer feel like a dark angel.

Health: 350 (1050 at rank 30)   Shields: 350 (1050 at rank 30)   Armor: 100   Energy: 125 (225 at Rank 30) Sprint Speed: 1.2

Ability 1: Lash, 25 energy.  When first activated Lash impales the enemy targeted by the player’s crosshairs within 300 meters with a harpoon at the end of a long cable, dealing 400 puncture damage with a guaranteed status proc.  This opens a 2.5 second window.  Letting the window expire will rip the harpoon from the enemy, dealing 400 slash damage with a guaranteed status proc while dragging them to the player’s location.  Holding the ability key for Lash will cause this effect to trigger after only a half-second delay.  If Lash is recast within the 2.5 second window and successfully hits another enemy the second enemy will receive all of the original effects, and then after a half-second delay the two enemies will be pulled towards each other, meeting in the middle and inflicting X impact damage (where X is equal to 20% of both units’ combined max health and shields) with a guaranteed status proc to both enemies.

Ability 2: Cloak, 50 energy.  Activates a suite of stealth technologies to erase the archwing from enemy detection.  The player becomes invisible and un-targetable for 12 seconds.  When this ability expires it releases a burst of 500 electric damage with 100% status chance in a 30 meter radius.

Ability 3: Umbilical Cable, toggled ability costs 25 energy to activate, per-second energy cost varies.  Latches a tube-like cable to the enemy or ally targeted by the player’s crosshairs within 300 meters.  If the target is an enemy the enemy will be disabled, unable to move or attack.  Every second the enemy will take 1% of its max health & shields as puncture damage with 15% status chance and the Uropygi will restore 25 health/shields and 3 energy per second.  If the target is an ally warframe both players will gain 15% ability strength, ability range, and boost speed at a cost of 3 energy per second for the Uropygi.  This effect can be applied to multiple allies but does not stack.  Up to four Umbilical Cables can be active at once.  Individual Umbilical Cables will break if their target moves more than 450 meters from the Uropygi.  Hold the ability key to break all current Umbilical Cables.  When an Umbilical Cable is broken on an enemy they will take 300 slash damage with a guaranteed status proc.

Ability 4: Network Spike, 50 energy.  When first activated Network Spike impales the enemy targeted by the player’s crosshairs within 300 meters with a harpoon at the end of a long cable, dealing 400 puncture damage with a guaranteed status proc.  The cable is released, and has a Tenno hacking probe at its end which will retract the cable until it contacts the enemy unit.  The hacking probe retracts 30 meters of cable per second with total time scaling directly with enemy distance.  Once the hacking probe has reached the enemy unit they will be disabled for 5 seconds while the probe overrides control.  If successful the enemy will be mind-controlled and become the Tenno’s ally for the next 30 seconds.  If the enemy dies before the hacking probe can take control 50% of this ability’s energy cost is refunded.  If the enemy survives until the end of the control period the hacking probe explodes, dealing 2,000 blast damage in a 125 meter radius.

Magnetic Video Marketing Review— My Opinion I can’t ignore the incredible potential of “video marketing” in today’s online landscape. As someone eager to make money online, I understand that successful marketers share a common thread—they sell their own products. It’s not just about profit; it’s about building an enduring asset.

Selling my own product means I keep every cent and cultivate a valuable buyer’s list for perpetual marketing. I can even enlist affiliates and partners to amplify my product’s reach—something impossible when promoting others’ affiliate products.

However, I’ve encountered common obstacles that hinder many marketers from starting their own product journey. Perhaps I’ve grappled with some of these reasons, like uncertainty or lack of direction, that have held me back from achieving the online success I desire. But it’s time to overcome these challenges and seize the opportunity video marketing offers.
