![]() My one complaint with the layout is that what used to be the mouseover text (a key component of xkcd's humor, and something that is incidentally missing when reading current comics on a touchscreen device) is wedged kind of randomly in between panels. For the most part I remembered the jokes, although a number of them were refreshers where they weren't ones I had referenced or thought of since reading through xkcd the first time. This contains most of what I consider to be "classic" xkcd, in terms of the comics I remember reading, the comics that I reference outside of obvious xkcd contexts, and the comics I sometimes wear as shirts. Looking at other works to which I've given two stars and my admittedly arbitrary choice to rate books based primarily on my level of enjoyment (except that I will give five stars only to a book that I consider objectively excellent), however, I will decrease the rating to one star. Unfortunately, his behavior has also colored my reaction to the original comics, to the point where two stars were the most I could conceivably give to the book. In short, as Munroe's mask has slipped and the ugliness of his personality has shown through, I have stopped reading XKCD. Hours later, he added, "Zing!" to the mouseover text, in a stealth edit apparently intended to soften his insult. In one particularly egregious example, he made an offensive comic, then doubled down with an offensive mouseover text that stated outright that people who are "not getting a real science degree.have a lot of free time." This statement, particularly in context of the offensive comic, made clear the depth of contempt he has for the "soft" sciences. Munroe, on the other hand, has nothing but sneers for any academic pursuit that is not math or science. I'm an engineer myself, but I highly value the individual study of liberal arts, particularly in terms of what used to be called the classics. Munroe's disdain for the liberal arts has also grown significantly, or perhaps is merely showing more. (I must shamefully admit to having laughed at similarly premised "jokes" in the past.) The complexity has declined to high school level at best, and the jokes are no longer clever but are instead "reference" jokes, by which I mean that they are predicated on Munroe and the reader sharing the same bit of obscure knowledge and being contemptuously amused that other people don't. In addition to the proliferation of "sexkcd" strips, the math/science strips have also declined in quality. I haven't read xkcd for probably close to a year.) If you really want to know, it's #631.) (I say "for enjoyment" because I did continue to read for several more months to watch the train wreck, but eventually, even that amusement paled. (I'm not providing a link because it is extremely NSFW and doesn't have even a vestige of humor to make up for its coarseness. Relationships and sex have always been a theme of XKCD, but strips on this topic have gotten progressively creepier and more disgusting, culminating at last in the infamous "TGI Friday's" strip, the point at which I stopped reading for enjoyment. (I am also a nerd.) However, over the years, the quality of XKCD has significantly degenerated. I used to love XKCD, chiefly for obscure jokes about esoteric topics. The book will no doubt delight XKCD fans. He added a little commentary to a few strips and included some coded messages, which I didn't bother decoding. Munroe selected the best of XKCD from the first 500 or so comics. XKCD: Volume 0 is the first collection of XKCD strips. It features primarily stick figures and typically focuses on "nerdy" topics such as science, math, science fiction, Firefly, and the like. XKCD, for the uninitiated, is a webcomic "drawn" by Randall Munroe.

If you are looking to find a wine that will stick as closely as possible to your keto diet, though, there are two things to keep in mind, he adds.įirst, you want quality over quantity. ![]() While everyone is different in how they metabolically respond to alcohol and any residual sugar in the wine, Kriegler says that, in his experience, people can either follow a strict ketogenic diet or enjoy wine, rarely both concurrently. ![]() These Are The Best Wine Clubs Out There Right Now.A Complete Beginners Guide To Different Wine Types.“You might be able to drink wine on a ketogenic diet, but even small amounts (less than one 6oz glass) may be enough to bump you out of nutritional ketosis,” explains Paul Kriegler, RD, an assistant program manager at Life Time. Can you drink wine on the keto diet?įor anyone on the keto diet, the question of how much wine is okay to drink actually becomes one of whether it’s okay to drink wine at all. Though winemakers ultimately decide how sweet to make any variety of wine, different types of wine generally contain different amounts of sugar, says Azimov. Just like the sugar in the grapes themselves, it gets turned into alcohol during fermentation. In this process, winemakers add cane or beet sugar to the unfermented grapes, Azimov explains.ĭon’t stress, though: This sugar merely initiates the fermenting process. In climates that don't support proper grape maturity, some winemakers-especially in France, which tends to be cooler than, say, California-rely on chaptalization. Ferment for longer, and you'll have a wine with lower sugar content and more alcohol. Stop the fermentation process early and you’ll have wine with higher amounts of sugar and less alcohol. Through fermentation, which occurs when yeast is added to grape juice, that sugar starts to turn into alcohol, Azimov says. When a grape is ripe enough for harvesting, its juice should come in at between 21 and 25 brix (the degree winemakers use to measure the sugar in a liquid solution), explains Brian Azimov, wine expert and founder of Wine With Brian. Here’s the thing about wine: Though you need sugar to make it, that sugar doesn't make up much of the final product. Why does wine have sugar in the first place? Consider this your guide for finding the best low-sugar wines, so you can keep your pinot habit intact. Not ideal for anyone, let alone low-carb or keto eaters.īut there are in fact many wines on the market today that have low to no sugar, making that second glass (or even third) much less worrisome. “If you drink more than, your insulin output can increase, bringing your blood sugar levels down and causing hypoglycemia, which may cause you to feel lightheaded," says Frances Largeman-Roth, RDN, author of Eating in Color. It's only when you down a lot of vino that sugar becomes an issue. Different varieties pack different amounts of sugar, so even keto dieters can enjoy small amounts and be in the clear, carb-wise. If anything, it just means practicing moderation, or swapping your go-to glass for one that better aligns with your goals. Well, here's the good news and a spoiler alert for what's ahead: Meeting your health goals doesn't mean nixing wine from your diet completely. But if you're following a keto or low-carb diet, you may be curious how your fave glass of red fits into your plans.Īfter all, many wines do contain a fair amount of sugar (more on that later!), and sugars are carbs. Listen, there's nothing wrong with grabbing a chilled glass of wine after a long day of endless work calls and meetings, errands, and household chores. ![]() This is just like a regular sale at a normal store.

He and Annie hide out in a parking garage until they lose Nivens, and Tom hotwires another car to get away. Nivens and Hall pursue them on the road until Tom's car crashes. ![]() She is highly dismayed at this news, even as Tom tries to be forthcoming about his intentions. He tells Annie the truth but says he truly wants to do right by her. Tom drives Annie to safety, but he is forced to come clean then and there about his past as a thief. Meanwhile, Nivens and Hall drive away trying to cover up the story, with Nivens wanting to frame Tom. Though she is horrified, Tom tells her to run as they get away from the corrupt agents. Tom fights Nivens and Hall, leading him to fall out a window with Nivens, just as Annie is walking by. On impulse, Nivens shoots and kills Baker. Nivens pulls out his gun in an attempt to execute Tom right there and steal the money, but the plan is interrupted when Baker shows up at the apartment. On their way out, the agents run into Annie, and they lie by saying they know Tom. Nivens tries to get Hall in on a scheme where they pocket the money themselves, since Nivens knows Hall needs extra money to support his family. The agents go to the storage unit and are surprised to discover that Tom was telling the truth since he has millions of dollars stashed there. When the two agents arrive at Tom's apartment, he tells them about a storage unit containing all the money he has stashed from past robberies. Unconvinced, Baker sends other agents Nivens (Jai Courtney) and Hall (Anthony Ramos) to interview Tom. He tells them he is in love with Annie and that he wants a fresh start. Since the FBI has gotten multiple Bandit confessions, they don't believe him and ask why he wants to turn himself in. Moments later, Tom calls the office to turn himself in and reveal himself as the In and Out Bandit, as well as complain that he hates that moniker. He tells his superior, Agent Baker (Robert Patrick), that he is going through a divorce, and that his wife is letting him keep the dog. In the city, FBI Agent Meyers (Jeffrey Donovan) goes to work with his dog. She likes the place, and he is preparing to create a stable future for the two of them. He brings her to an apartment he wants to buy for them, but they are technically breaking in. ![]() One year later, Tom and Annie are in a relationship. As Tom prepares to make an honest living, he finds himself chatting Annie up, and she seems to find him charming. He later goes to find work at a self-storage warehouse where he meets Annie (Kate Walsh), a grad student. Tom Carter, AKA the "In and Out Bandit" (Liam Neeson) breaks into a safe, as this is the last heist he is planning to undertake. A cat and mouse game ensues, with Tom outsmarting Nivens and Hall, while Baker's partner Sean Meyers gradually catches up and Annie gets caught in the middle. To partner Ramon Hall's horror, Nivens steals the cash as their 'pension fund' and when senior agent Samuel Baker surprise-checks and realizes its' a setup, murders that witness. Agent John Nivens reluctantly comes check out a presumed umpteenth fake I&O, but he knows real inside info, and hands the key to millions in cash. To clear his conscience, he calls the FBI -as Tom Carter- to return the loot in exchange for 'merely' two years light prison. Seeking another storage for some of the cash, he meets clerk Annie Wilkins, they fall in almost instant love and he decides to switch to a quiet life, buying an apartment and engagement ring. But when two FBI agents set him up for murder, he must now go on the run to clear his name and bring them to justice.Marines veteran Tom Dolan leads a quiet life, stealing over the years nine million dollars from twelve small bank branches with outdated safes in seven states, leaving the police utterly clueless about the 'In and Out Bandit' for eight years. Hoping to cut a deal, a professional bank robber agrees to return all the money he stole in exchange for a reduced sentence. ![]() Roll it./ Take the lead./ School’s out city!” reads one of Burleigh’s clipped couplets.

Clang! Beep! Beep! In an imaginary metropolis (where coffee is still just five cents a cup), all the vehicles-from bikes to subways-spring to life, most of them with eager smiles and bright headlight eyes. Young vehicle-lovers will rev their engines for more. Done in a simple palette primarily of yellow, blue and red, with a base tone reminiscent of newsprint, the cheery artwork also captures the activity and grit of the city. Each spread offers something of interest, whether in pattern, composition or character. Carpenter’s retro-styled computer illustrations have a simple charm. The frenetic pace finally slows at day’s end, as stores close, parties come to an end, and revelers walk home. Rhyming text, jam-packed with action, propels the day forward, as each refrain announces the inhabitants’ intentions: “Work time,” “Lunch time,” “Play time,” “Party time.” Exuberant onomatopoeia incorporated into the artwork follows the refrains, as trucks vroom, vans dash, and firetrucks flash.

You could program it as a "clickable" option. The next issue is that with the previous Mighty Mouse, there was a ball (yes, the ball was a problem after a while), and not only could you use the tiny ball to scroll around (until it stopped working or got too dirty to clean) you could also use it as a 3rd button. Now this is most likely due to the fact that the Magic Mouse surface is smaller. On the Magic Mouse it's either 1 or 2 finger gestures. For example, on the trackpad you can do 3 finger gestures. This is a minor one, but the gestures are DIFFERENT than those on the MacBooksand MacBook Pro trackpad. The actual product design itself is great. The good news is that most of my issues with the Magic Mouse are software related, not hardware related. The two finger swiping works great in Lightroom for flipping between pictures in Loupe view!Īpple hasn't always designed a good mouse (man I hated this thing!): I use the zoom ALL THE TIME when I'm teaching or recording tutorials. I found a feature that I didn't know about until I set up the mouse and that is if you hold down the Control Key and use your finger on the surface you can utilize the Zoom feature built-in to Mac OS X. Tracking speed is good and overall it has a really good feel. Seems to stay in place unless I want to move it. Although some have complained that using the 2 finger gestures on the surface can cause you to accidentally move the mouse, I've no such problems. Once I downloaded the new driver for my MacBook Pro, I had no problem pairing and setting up the mouse. I've never had an issue with battery life on the previous model, so it's all good here. The Magic Mouse runs 2 AA batteries and Apple claims you'll get 4 months of regular use per set. This is a MUST for any battery operated mouse that goes with me. ![]() Speaking of in your bag, you'll be happy to know that like the previous Mighty Mouse, Apple includes a physical on/off switch on the bottom. This makes it great for road warriors in that it will take up less space in your bag. It's hard not to like the sleek design! It's so flat. Let's start with the things that I like about it. So depending on which side of the Magic Mouse you put your finger on to click will give you different results. Although there is only technically one big button to click, you can setup a "Right Click" (Control-Click) using the Mouse Preference to be either on the right side or the left side (for lefties). The entire surface clicks down like any other mouse, but the top of the mouse can be used for scrolling, panning and zooming using one or two fingers. The Magic Mouse is a Bluetooth wireless mouse with a multi-touch surface instead of the traditional multiple buttons found on all other mice. So let's get to the review you've been asking me for: As with most products, there are things I like and things that could be better. Luckily Apple also released the drivers for non-iMacs a couple of nights ago. Since I was upgrading to a new 27" iMac and the new iMacs come with the new Magic Mouse standard, this was a great way to get one early and play. When I blogged about the new gear, I was inundated with requests to review the new mouse? I thought wow, there is a lot of interest around this thing. One of those goodies was the NEW Magic Mouse. I plan on adding sticky traps under the hood today.Apple recently introduced New iMacs, Mac minis and other goodies. I plan on adding sticky traps under the hood today. I will be replacing that again once I know the mice are abated. The nest is not rebuilt but there are a lot of mouse droppings on the new cabin air filter. Today, 3 days later I removed the cabin air filter to inspect. They have been actively consuming the Tomcat blocks. I also placed the Tomcat mouse poison blocks under the hood. I removed the nest, sanitized everything and replaced the cabin air filter. The nest appears to be pieces of the truck cover lining stripped from the cover. I did find that they were nesting on the screen above the cabin air filter. I couldn't catch him and didn't see any damage under the hood. When I uncovered it and opened the hood a mouse promptly asked me what the f*ck I was doing there at the same time I was asking him that exact question. I also frequently sprayed peppermint critter repellent under and around the Taco along with spraying down the truck cover. Truck is covered outside and I placed Grandpa Gus scent packets throughout the truck both inside and under the hood. Monday I brought the Taco out of storage to find that all my efforts to keep the mice away failed. ![]() It is not only because of you but also for you that we have Camp Waianae.

Not only that but Camp Waianae also seeks to serve our homeless community by providing opportunities for homeless kids to attend summer camp for free. The tasks are all different and yet equally vital for providing the best place possible for our campers to be blessed.Ĭamp Waianae is what it is today because of the generosity of people who know how important camp is for spiritual growth and community. Each group brings their own skills to help with projects such as refurbishing our cafeteria, staining fences, building rock walls and beautiful new gates, building low ropes elements, clearing land for our new campground, gardening, electrical work, and the list goes on. Since January of this year, we have been gifted with more than 11,500 hours of hard work from varying groups of volunteers. It is a well-used and greatly loved space in our Hawaii Conference, and it is exciting to see so many people coming alongside us to improve our camp. Situated up against the towering peak of Mount Kahala, Camp Waianae exists as a sanctuary for people, particularly our young people, to come and connect and fall in love with Jesus. Their current assignments: to renovate our amphitheater, plant palms on our new campground space, and put the finishing touches on our new low ropes course.Ĭamp Waianae is in the first few phases of a much-needed revitalization-the first of its kind since it was built in the late 1960s.
