I loaded the stress test and there were no noticeable differences in CPU or dropouts. Here are the same tests using the 3.1 MixControl and drivers. I then installed 3.1 and restarted, then repeated the setup. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. I also made a stress test project that pushes things to a limit with a lot of soft synths (Reaktor, Alchemy, Kore) and reverbs running (2C Aether at 4x oversampling on lots of track). 1 Saffire PRO 40 User Guide FA0212-04 2 Important Safety Instructions 1.

The first image shows the test run after about 1 minute. You can look at them in a new window (or download) to see the full-size images. These are full-size screen captures - I initially embedded them, but the posting software took too long to load with them in, so I just put in a link. Then I did 4 screen shots which you see below. After about 10 minutes from the restart I reset the tools and let them run for a minute while the Reaktor project was playing. I then started up DPCLAT and LatencyMon and let them run for a while after a system restart. Some typical prochannel stuff were in use on the Reaktor track.

I'm just happy I still share hobbies with him so that we hang out (even if mostly only online. I don't like it, but I suffer through it to play with him lol. When I play with my son and friends, we do 60 minute days. Now multiplayer is different but always feels off. I'll look at the time and it's always between 11:30 and 12:30. I'll turn in a quest and think to myself that it's probably time to go harvest and gather. With the days set at 90 minutes, everything just feels right and I mostly don't even notice or pay attention to the time anymore. If i do one t3 quest and all of a sudden it's noon, my questing time seems unnaturally short. Shorter days don't feel like a whole day to me because they are so rushed. I do even sometimes yell out loud for roaming zombies to get off my lawn. I know, I'm boring, old, and set in my ways. Then I have breakfast and head out again at 4 am. anything you generally do at your home base. anything that can be gathered without going into pois.Īt 10 pm i harvest and add on to my farm then have dinner at my base, then focus on crafting, workstation maintenance, organizing, decorating, painting, cooking, inside base upgrading, home base additions if i need extra room. Gathering resources includes ore and wood, but also things like eggs from nests, hunting meat, shoveling cobble/cement at pois when it can be seen from the street, gore piles, vulture hunting on a damaged bike in the desert while grabbing surface oil shale (if i need farm plots or sham chowder ingredients). Otherwise, most of my poi looting is during quests.įrom noon til about 10 pm, I gather whatever resources I need most or build/upgrade my base. I sometimes, but rarely, loot a specific poi for a that is likely to have something specific i need even if i don't have a quest there. I'll quest until about noon, going back and forth to the trader(s) to turn in and pick up new quest. I have breakfast and leave home at 4am to do the quest i picked up the night before. ![]() After the first 2 days, I have my daily routine, which rarely varies. I am a creature of habit, and that applies to games. Does anyone else like shorter days normally (not just when you feel like experimenting with crazy settings) or do you all secretly wish you could have 24 hour days and play minute to minute in a 1:1 ratio with real life? Please vote but also explain your reasoning. So why do people like such long days? I'm interested. I like eating a meal and filling up in the morning and not being hungry again until the end of the day. I love going to do a quest and having to spend the night there before coming home because night was falling. But now that large predators are out at night in addition I have been staying closer to base and once again those nights tend to drag and 50 minute and 40 minute days are getting selected most of the time by me once again.Īlso, I really feel that 40 minute days more closely represents what can be done in a single day. ![]() Even when they added a random feral zombie to the night in A18, nights weren't all that scary so I just stuck with default 60 minutes and did whatever. From A16 to A18 it didn't matter so much. My top reason is that the nights don't last quite so long. My favorite setting is probably 50 minute days but I also like 40 minute days quite a bit. I can't stand playing with such long days myself and so it got me thinking about why people like playing such looooooooong days and by extension loooooong nights. In another thread the question was asked about the settings people choose and I noticed a majority of responders posting 90 minute and 120 minute days. 9/1/2023 0 Comments 8 passenger van rental pricesWe call this unethical and bad business and will never recommend this company. As we were trying to find an Uber to get to another car rental location, another customer was going through the same run around and was being charged over $100 than what all her paperwork said. She went back to get him and came back to us and said the manager refused to see us and would not come out front. The Mercedes-Benz Metris Passenger Van rental usually seats eight, yet is still easy to maneuver. Check out more of the great benefits you’ll enjoy when you rent a minivan. When we asked the woman if she was the manager she said, "well, kind of, but not really, I just help the manager." We then asked again to see the manager. There are so many great reasons to choose a minivan rental from Avis, including affordable prices. We then asked to see the manager and someone else came out to talk to us. Which made zero sense because that's where I filled all the information out at the time of making the reservation. The NEXT reason they gave us for charging us so much more was that we came through the airport. ![]() ![]() When we pressed into why, the next reason they gave us was because we should have reserved the car through a third party like Expedia. One of the easiest ways to ensure you get the lowest sprinter van rental price possible is to book during the off-season, which generally falls between December and March. ![]() Rent a 15 passenger sprinter van today with Bus.com. The reason was (at first) that they had to come and pick us up from the airport. Sprinter passenger van rentals are a cost-efficient and comfortable way to transport small groups. When we arrived at the business to pick up our car, we were charged over $120 more than our initial payment. Cons: We thought we were getting a great deal on a car rental for two weeks. 9/1/2023 0 Comments Dwarf fortress fps spikesOn mobile devices, fill rate can be limited (slower to draw pixels).

Pendergrass has spent countless hours attempting to retrieve her daughter from being trafficked and exploited for money,” Mims wrote in the letter. “Over the course of the last two months Ms. This letter demonstrated that BAWAR and Mims considered Pendergrass a client, just like her daughter. So, she asked Mims if he would help by writing a letter to her managers, explaining what kind of psychological stress she was under due to her daughter’s plight. She started having problems at work, as well. “There was a period when I didn’t want to live,” Pendergrass admitted. And a 2007 conviction for forging Department of Motor Vehicle documents for undocumented immigrants made it difficult for Pendergrass to find work and housing. She rarely saw her daughter and constantly worried for her safety. She explained to the Express how her friends and family were growing distant. During one session, her daughter stormed out of the room.Īround this time, Pendergrass felt like her life was falling apart. She met Mims, who agreed to try to mediate between the two, she says. She took her daughter to BAWAR’s offices in the Alameda County Family Justice Center on 27th Street in Oakland. Her mother tried to stage an intervention. ![]() But during the final months of 2012 and beginning of 2013, she began disappearing for extended periods. Pendergrass’ daughter was a runaway who regularly went missing. Now, however, Pendergrass alleges that she was sexually exploited and betrayed by one of the very people who was supposed to protect her family. Pendergrass had interacted with Mims and BAWAR several times before, and she felt that the organization, plus the police and the district attorney, would make a difference for her daughter (the Express is not using her name because she was a minor during this time of abuse). She called Patrick Mims, a community leader and coordinator of the Sexually Exploited Minors program at Bay Area Women Against Rape, an Oakland-based nonprofit that counsels trafficking survivors and their parents. In desperation, Pendergrass turned to an organization that had previously helped. She worried that Oakland police would not prioritize the capture of her pimp, and that he would return to their apartment and kill them both. “I realized we couldn’t just go home,” Pendergrass explained. Her daughter’s trafficker had used violence and intimidation to dominate their lives. Patrick Mims (center) and Marcia Blackstock (second from left) receive the 2013 Director’s Community Leadership Award from San Francisco FBI Special Agent in Charge David J.Leneka Pendergrass says she felt “taken advantage of” by one of the East Bay’s foremost anti-human-trafficking leaders.The family then fled straight to Hayward and hid at a friend’s house. But the Eastmont station was closed, so they drove to OPD’s downtown headquarters and filed a report. “The pimp knew where I lived, and he was definitely looking for her,” Pendergrass recalled during an interview last week. They sped to the Oakland Police Department’s Eastmont Substation, seeking protection. Pendergrass drove to 64th Avenue on January 7, 2014, and rescued her daughter from a stranger’s house. He has a gun.” The teenager, who frequently ran away from home - and who’d struggled since age thirteen as an exploited child in Oakland’s violent underworld of human sex trafficking - had escaped the clutches of a pimp. “Mom, I’m in somebody’s backyard and he’s looking for me. When Leneka Pendergrass’ seventeen-year-old daughter called out of the blue two years ago and pleaded for help, she immediately knew what was wrong. Six to ten children strain in their seats and wave their hands in the teacher’s face, eager to be called on and show how smart they are. “In general, here is how it works: The teacher stands in front of the class and asks a question. ![]()

(For detailed definitions, see CBO’s Glossary. Going forward, lawmakers should instead adopt reasonable caps on discretionary spending – such as any of the options included in the CRFB Fiscal Blueprint – to stem further increases in the unsustainable national debt.This guide briefly explains-in plain language-the differences between some common budgetary terms. The FY 2023 omnibus goes above and beyond adjusting spending for today's high inflation, and it will likely only make inflation more difficult to tame. Source: Congressional Budget Office, Joint Committee on Taxation, CRFB calcuations. Total Cost of Additional Omnibus Policies Net changes to Medicare and Medicaid improvement funds Limit tax deduction for qualified charitable contributions of conservation easements Phase down bonus Medicaid match from public health emergency and implement transition plan for territories Improve small business retirement coverage, expand hardship exemptions, and promote emergency savingsĮxtend and expand CHIP and certain Medicaid policies Simplify retirement savings incentives, streamline accounts, and convert saver’s credit to government matchĮxtend certain Medicare policies, expand Medicare mental health care coverage, other health provisions Additional Policies in the FY 2023 Omnibus Provision It also makes several smaller changes to health care and a few other programs that affect other mandatory spending, and it includes changes to tax incentives intended to increase retirement savings that are deficit neutral on paper but contain about $31 billion of steady-state costs due to gimmicks. In addition to these appropriations, the bill provides $47.4 billion of supplemental funding for providing humanitarian, military, and economic assistance to Ukraine ($46.8 billion in outlays) and $38.0 billion in response to hurricanes and other natural disasters in 2022 ($36.8 billion in outlays). Extrapolating forward, this would represent an increase of roughly half a trillion dollars in discretionary outlays over the next decade, though some of that would have already been projected due to higher inflation. Total budget authority authorized under the bill is $58 billion higher than projected for FY 2023 in CBO's most recent current law baseline, with more than 75 percent of that increase going to defense spending and less than 25 percent going to nondefense spending. Note: Numbers may not add due to rounding. Sources: Senate Appropriations Committee, House Appropriations Committee, Congressional Budget Office, Office of Management and Budget, CRFB calculations. What's in the FY 2023 Omnibus? Appropriations Bill The Legislative Branch bill also receives a double-digit percentage increase, while the other bills generally have increases in the range of 5 to 10 percent. This includes $1.602 trillion of base appropriations when changes in mandatory programs (CHIMPs) and special adjustments are subtracted CHIMPs in the bill total roughly $15 billion, and the remaining $28.5 billion of adjustments include spending for disaster relief, wildfire suppression, program integrity, the 21st Century Cures Act, and the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund.Įach of the 12 appropriations bills included within the omnibus increase spending by amounts ranging from 1.4 percent for the Agriculture bill to 20.9 percent for the Military Construction-Veterans Affairs bill. ![]() The FY 2023 omnibus is split between $858 billion for defense and $787 billion for nondefense discretionary programs. In addition, the bill provides $47 billion in supplemental funding for Ukraine and $38 billion for recent natural disasters while addressing expiring Medicare and Medicaid policies and enacting new tax incentives for retirement savings. ![]() This increase would go above and beyond a simple inflation adjustment, with a real increase of about 3 percent. Based on the score from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), we estimate that the bill provides $1.646 trillion of non-emergency budget authority for FY 2023 – a $134 billion or 9 percent increase over FY 2022 levels. Policymakers are considering the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 omnibus appropriations bill this week, which sets appropriations levels and allocations for the remainder of the 2023 fiscal year.
