![]() Add the egg and cold water and pulse again until a dough has formed. Add the cold coconut oil, and cut into the flour mixture until it is the texture of coarse sand. Pulse the almond flour, arrowroot flour, two tablespoons of maple sugar, one teaspoon of cinnamon and salt until combined.Grease a cast iron skillet or round cake pan that’s 8” in diameter and set aside. This is easier to do than it sounds, just shave a a bit with your knife on the flat cut side of an apple until you get a few slices that have a tiny bit of peel but are also transparently thin. The apple slices need to be thin enough to bend considerably, and the center ones are required to be abouuuuuut as thin as tissue paper. Note: for those that see this Quick Apple Pie and think, “She must have used a slicer, I don’t have a slicer”… I will say that I used a mandolin for SOME of the slices, BUT I couldn’t quite get them thin enough on the mandolin! So I switched to free-handin’, and that worked wonders. When I returned to the other room, the pie had filled it with a delicate, persistent, fruity/floral fragrance that was beautiful in combination with the scent of its almond cookie base. I left the pie there after I finished for maybe 15 minutes, while I cleaned up the kitchen. I took it out of the oven and brought it into a different room to photograph. In fact, a little story about how wonderful this Quick Apple Pie is. ![]() An unrelated odd but wonderful discovery is how tasty apple slices dipped in lemon are! The lemon juice gives the flavor of apple just enough sass to make it a wonderful snack, even as simple as it is. Let’s talk about Quick Apple Pi! This is almost too abstract to be called “apple pie”, yet the flavors are there in a sweetly simple, deconstructed way. This pie is not like an apple pie with a flaky crust and gooey filling that you’d find from a bakery or a grocery store, yet considering how quick and easy to make this, it’s such a rewarding dessert when it comes out of the oven. □ But there’s a reason to celebrate this year too… math enthusiasts are calling today “Rounded Pi Day.” When rounding pi to the ten-thousandth (that’s four numbers past the decimal point), it comes out to 3.1416, matching this year’s date: March 14, 2016. ![]() Last year, hardcore math fans even started celebrating the day at exactly 9:26 a.m. While it is often abbreviated as 3.14, pi has an infinite number of digits beyond the decimal point, starting with 3.14159. Last year’s Pi Day was special since it was 3/14/15, perfectly matching the first numbers past the decimal point of pi. Pi represents the ratio of circumference of a circle divided by its diameter. This year’s Pi Day was an extra-special occurrence… a once in a lifetime one, actually. March 14 (or 3/14) celebrates the mathematical constant of pi. I created this Quick Apple Pie recipe in honor of Pi Day. ![]()

![]() I switched to the Duckstation core yesterday after the announcement and noticed straightaway how emulation and performance was better overall compared to SwanStation. It comes with a series of useful features, it's easy to use, and it packs enough configuration options to make the whole experience as wholesome as possible. Thanks for the clarification on the subject and for the great work on the emulator, it's outstanding how far Duckstation has come in such a short span of time. ![]() To conclude, DuckStation is a comprehensive PlayStation 1 emulator for your PC that should allow users to run their favorite console games from the 90s era. Other features include the ability to directly boot homebrew executables, direct loading of Portable Sound Format files, support for both digital and analog controllers for input, support for Namco GunCon (mouse simulation), support for NeGcon, automatic content scanning, and optional automatic switching of memory cards for each game. However, beware that emulators are heavy on computer resources. The app boasts support for upscaling, texture filtering, and true color hardware rendering, PGXP for geometry precision and texture correction, post-processing shader chains, and a fast boot time for skipping all the BIOS splash intros. It is a free download compatible only with Windows 10.Use it as an emulator for an authentic PlayStation gaming experience on your PC. The emulator is fully compatible with x86-圆4, as well as armv7/AArch32, and AArch64 architectures, and can perform both hardware (thanks to D3D11, OpenGL, and Vulkan) and software renderings.Īs far as the supported formats go these are as follows. The app's frontend is developed with Qt, and it's heavily inspired by the likes of SDL and Dear ImGui. That said, the app should support all PlayStation 1 game images from any hardware, version, or region. The developer of the project claims that it is suitable even for low-end devices and that the default configuration should support all playable games with very few compatibility issues. Prebuilt binaries for 64-bit Windows, Linux and Android can be found on the releases page. It supports most features of the full frontend, within the constraints and limitations of being a libretro core. and avoid version 10000, the Japanese version of the PS2.Developed for the passion of old-school console gaming, DuckStation is a PlayStation 1 console emulator that aims to bring to life some of the best 90s games with the help of any modern computer. DuckStation is available as a libretro core, which can be loaded into a frontend such as RetroArch. I believe PPSSPP doesn't need BIOS/Firmware but PCSX2 does. Or use the standalone version of the application, which is usually just download and use (on other systems, I don't know how it is on macOS, but I doubt it will be different) The PSP emulator (PPSSPP) is another case of complicated installation and you should read official documentation to know how to proceed. If the core is not available use the "update core info files" function in the same menu and try again. ![]() you should read the official documentation and watch the official video. I also think it's a little more difficult to install in RetroArch. maybe there is some limitation like that. it seems that old mac models use OpenGL and new use Metal. According to official documentation and emu gen wiki, it has a port for macOS. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I looked into the task manager and found out that it is a Java process, called javaw, that is responsible for the high CPU Utilization.

The milliampere has its origins in the ampere. It is defined as one thousandth of an ampere. This definition would also be based on the re-definition of the second which would be defined as the fixed numerical value of cesium frequency.Ī milliampere (symbol: mA) is a submultiple of the SI base unit of electrical current, the ampere. The proposed re-definition of the ampere involves using a fixed numerical value of elementary charge of 1.602176634 × 10-19 when expressed in coulombs. The ampere is one of the units being considered for re-definition due to the difficulty of maintaining high precision in practice. Although the definitions of some units may change, the actual size of the units would remain the same the change in definition will not have much, if any, effect on the daily use of these units. The International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) has proposed re-definition of some of the SI base units in an attempt to further improve the system. The definition of some SI base units may change in the near future. An ampere can be expressed in the form of watts/volts, or W/V, such that an ampere equals 1 W/V, since power is defined as a product of current and voltage. The current definition of the ampere has been in place since 1948 but may change in the near future.Īs the SI base unit of electric current, the ampere is used worldwide for almost all applications involving electric current. The size of the unit was chosen such that it would fit conveniently within the metre-kilogram-second system of units. In the centimeter-gram-second system of units, the ampere was defined as one tenth of the unit of electrical current of the time, which is now known as the abampere. ![]() The ampere is named after Andre-Marie Ampere, a French mathematician and physicist. In terms of the SI unit of charge, the coulomb, one ampere is defined as one coulomb of charge passing through a given point in one second. The ampere is defined formally as the constant current at which a force of 2 × 10 -7 newtons per meter length would be produced between two conductors, where the conductors are parallel, have infinite length, are placed in a vacuum, and have negligible circular cross-sections. The ampere (symbol: A), often referred to as simply amp, is the base unit of electric current in the International System of Units (SI). ![]() ![]() After fighting off some of Mental's forces, Sam is confronted by Achriman, who further taunts him and kills Kenny before fleeing. Sam manages to get to Carcassonne, where he meets up with Kenny. The team are forced to jump out of the plane after it comes under attack by Octanian raiders, and they are separated from one another upon landing in the French countryside. The team board a plane to Carcassonne, in France, which is the location of the Ark and the Holy Grail. After getting hold of a mech and killing a huge alien creature, Sam obtains the book from the Vatican Library. ![]() Sam makes his way to the Vatican, and along the way he meets a gun-toting old lady called Nonna, who assists him with directions to get to the Vatican. He says that the text is hidden inside the Vatican Library, and reading from it will help them find the Ark of the Covenant. The two are able to rescue Carter and Father Mikhail, and he tells Sam that they are actually looking for a sacred text and not the Holy Grail. He defeats the monster and Rodriguez appears from underneath the Colosseum telling Sam he has found a way into the catacombs. Achriman forces Sam to fight against Mental's forces inside the Colosseum and then summons a massive creature, the Swamp Hive, to kill Sam. Sam makes his way to the Colosseum, Carter's last known location, and encounters Lord Achriman in person. Once back on base, Quinn informs Sam that they have been unable to reach Carter and Mikhail, so Brand orders Sam and Rodriguez go back into Rome to rescue them. Sam and his friends manage to get out alive and head back to base. The HAARP activates, causing Vesuvius to erupt and fill the ruins of Pompeii with lava. Once the final beacon is set up, Brand orders that the HAARP be activated, despite not giving the team enough time to establish a safe perimeter from the volcano. The team set up 8 beacons to activate the array, but Jones is killed during the mission after being eaten by a Khnum. Meanwhile, Carter escorts Father Mikhail back into to Rome to find the Holy Grail. ![]() As the Octanians control Italy's airspace, the team suggest utilizing the seismic capabilites of the HAARP complex to trigger an eruption on Mount Vevusius that will force the enemy air forces to be grounded. Some tough fighting ensues, and Hellfire is able to rescue the team out of Rome and escorts them back to base. They eventually make it to the Piazza della Repubblica, where they rendevous with Rodriguez and Jones. Sam and Kenny are forced on foot through the winding streets, where they eventually meet up with Father Mikhail. ![]() On the way to the Vatican, the convoy is bombed by Octanian raiders, and Sam's car is hit by the blast, separating him and Kenny from the rest of his team. According to him, the Grail is a powerful artifact hidden inside the Ark of the Covenant that could be used to aid the human forces in their fight against Mental. Meanwhile, in Rome, an Earth Defense Force convoy consisting of several high-ranking members - Carter, Jones, Kenny, Rodriguez, and the infamous Sam Stone, are sent to meet up with Father Mikhail, a priest and expert in archaic languages and ancient texts, who claims to have knowledge of the Holy Grail's whereabouts. One of Mental's servants, Lord Achriman, is overseeing the campaign on Earth. Several weeks have passed since the Tunguksa portal appeared, and several smaller portals have become established in densely populated areas such as France and Italy, which has resulted in Mental's forces slowly taking control over Western Europe. The Earth Defense Force, Earth's main military force, is scrambled along with local resistance fighters to repel and contain the threat, which initiates the Tunguska Offensive. Prior to the events of Serious Sam 3: BFE, a massive alien portal suddenly appears in Tunguska, Russia, allowing Mental's alien armies to invade Earth.

You’ll need to measure precisely, and also ensure you have some structure inside to support it, which was one of the first projects we tackled early in the van build. The most intimidating part of this project is cutting that hole in the roof. While we can and did install this air conditioner in our van, cutting a hole in the roof and taking on a project like this isn’t for everyone, and there are plenty of qualified professionals you can get to do this for you. We are what you would call weekend warriors at this stuff, so while we’ll show you what our experience as do it yourselfers has been like, please don’t take this as professional advice.

While there are some solar/battery builds where you could run this off grid, it’s a power suck. One note on this device: for most users, you’ll need to know you’ll want to have shore power installed on your van or RV to power the air conditioning. But we do travel to California quite a bit and wanted to have an option to drive this down there, and use it for camping in the California heat too. Why did we opt for AC? We live in Calgary Canada and most of the summer the temperature is pretty moderate or even cool, especially in the Rocky Mountains. The Dometic Brisk II comes in two parts the AC unit that sits on top of the van, and the inside portions a control and wiring panel and the shroud or finishing cover.
