![]() The best from this year yet is ezuri's predation reprint. For Strixhaven, the Witherbloom and Silverquill theme boosters are excellent choices as both factions have several menace cards. It's only natural because they print good token synery each year but no face-down synery except guardian project.ītw the best ghired upgrades from last year were quartz-wood crusher, terror of the peaks, and reprints for rhys the redeemed and doubling season. As such, if you want menace cards, buy the appropriate theme boosters. The new cards in the deck are: Backdraft Hellkite. The deck also features prowess and emphasizes noncreature spells. The primary commander is Sevinne, the Chronoclasm, and the secondary commanders are Elsha of the Infinite and Pramikon, Sky Rampart. I have both of these decks and kadena is not much improvable, but I still upgrade Ghired each year.

Arcane Maelstrom is a 100 card Commander preconstructed deck with an instants theme, featured in Commander 2020. ![]() Kadena's is the most unflexible and rigid deck of C19, because there are so few good morphs and manifests.

![]() The G502 X is also a lot lighter than the G502 Hero and Proteus Spectrum ever were, even if you removed all of the latter versions’ optional weights. Chief among these is the new optical-mechanical switch design: I can’t honestly say this makes the left/right clickers feel faster than those on older G502 variants, as is usually the given reason for optical switch tech, but they do somehow feel more solid and finely-crafted. In-game performance is flawless, as could be expected given this mouse uses the same Logitech 25K sensor as the G502 Hero, and there are other tweaks that (again, mostly) make it marginally more comfortable and satisfying to have under your fingers. ![]() And, unlike the Basilisk V2’s similar click-on thumb button, the G502 X’s clutch attachment is not at all prone to pinging off. Or, if you’ve no need of the clutch (and don’t want to reprogramme it to do something different, as you can do with all 11 inputs), you can simply replace the cap with a plain cover to effectively disable it.įlexibility and customisation have always been strengths of button-stuffed gaming mice like previous G502s and the Razer Basilisk series, so it’s good to see Logitech taking that further. Turn it around so that it faces away, and the button is still there if you need it, but there’s less chance of brushing it by accident. Rather than keeping it as a fixed button, the G502 X has a detachable L-shaped cap: slot it in with the extended section facing towards you, and it becomes much easier to reach with your thumb. Good stuff.Ī more overtly practical upgrade is the reworked DPI clutch, which (by default) lowers the sensitivity for more precise movements while held. It looks cleaner, and leaves fewer nooks for dust and grime to build up in. Gone are the go-faster silver highlights, and the middle section – where the scroll wheel, DPI switch and freewheel/ratcheted scroll switch all live – now sits flush with the left-and right-click buttons. The long, sloping shape still works well for palm and finger grips alike, and you still get integrated side grips and a generous thumb rest, but it’s all a little more refined. Having swooshed the G502 X around as my main mouse for a few days, I will say almost every design change on it is a positive one. Since prices max out at £150 / $160 for the G502 X Plus, the two Lightspeed-equipped mice could be less expensive alternatives to Razer’s new DeathAdder V3 Pro and Basilisk V3 Pro – but as the cheapest and most direct successor the G502 Hero, it’s the G502 X that’s likely to see the most desk action. There’s a trio of redesigned rodents in this family: the standard G502 X I’ve got on review here, the wireless G502 X Lightspeed, and the G502 X Plus, which is essentially the G502 X Lightspeed with added RGB lighting. Making more drastic improvements to it wouldn’t therefore seem like a pressing priority, but Logitech have had a crack regardless with the new G502 X series. ![]() Not undeservedly either, as it’s sat atop our best gaming mouse rankings for years. ![]() Between its Proteus Spectrum and refreshed Hero models, the G502 has sold boatloads, and was voted as RPS readers’ favourite gaming mouse in both 20. Statistically, there’s a good chance you clicked onto this page with a Logitech G502 mouse. ![]() Let no one take from you what they cannot give. There is only a finger’s difference between a wise man and a fool. Seeing a child drinking from his hands, Diogenes threw away his cup and remarked, “A child has beaten me in plainness of living.” 13. A child can teach us much about the plainness of living. “If you would only learn to compliment Dionysus, you wouldn’t have to live on lentils.” The reply “But if you would only learn to live on lentils, you wouldn’t have to flatter Dionysus.”~ Diogenes the Cynic 12. “Aristotle has to dine when Philip thinks fit Diogenes can dine at any time he chooses.”Ī philosopher named Aristippus, who had quite willingly sucked up to Dionysus and won himself a spot at his court, saw Diogenes cooking lentils for a meal. “Plato said “If you had paid your respects to Dionysus, you would not be washing lettuces now,” to which, with equal calmness, Diogenes replied, “If you had washed lettuces, Plato, you would not have had to pay your respects to Dionysus.” ~ Diogenes the Cynic ![]() ![]() He who gives his freedom for safety gets none of them. ~ Diogenes the Cynic Beautiful man and his dog in Assisi, Italy. He has the most who is most content with the least. “As houses well stored with provisions are likely to be full of mice, so the bodies of those that eat much are full of diseases.” ~ Diogenes the Cynic 10. The bodies of those that eat much are full of diseases. “When some one said, “Most people laugh at you,” his reply was, “And so very likely do the asses at them but as they don’t care for the asses, so neither do I care for them.”~ Diogenes the Cynic 9. What others think of you does not matter. “It is not that I am mad, it is only that my head is different from yours.” ~ Diogenes of Sinope 8. To be great is to encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds. Fear is the mark of the slave.įriends of Diogenes wanted to ransom him, whereupon he called them simpletons “for“, said he, “lions are not the slaves of those who feed them, but rather those who feed them are at the mercy of the lions: for fear is the mark of the slave, whereas wild beasts make men afraid of them.” 7. “Wise kings generally have wise counselors and he must be a wise man himself who is capable of distinguishing one.” ~ Diogenes of Sinope 6. ~ Diogenes the Cynic Entrance to the Santa Chiara Basilica in Assisi, Italy It takes a wise man to discover a wise man. “But truly, if I were not Alexander, I wish I were Diogenes.” and Diogenes replied, “If I wasn’t Diogenes, I would be wishing to be Diogenes too.”ĥ. Diogenes explained, “I am searching for the bones of your father but cannot distinguish them from those of a slave.‘ And ‘when Plato styled him a dog, “Quite true,” he said, ” for I come back again and again to those who have sold me.”‘ When ‘Alexander the Great found the philosopher looking attentively at a pile of human bones. He wanted human beings to reclaim their freedom and dignity and live with honesty and self-respect. (I guess things haven’t changed much in the last 2400 years). He was often seen on the streets of Athens carrying a lamp in his hands in broad daylight and saying: “I am looking for an honest man.” Diogenes the Cynicĭiogenes the Cynic was an ancient Greek philosopher who wasn’t afraid to speak his Truth, but also a FREE man who spoke harshly of those who were willing to give up their freedom and liberty for temporary pleasures and safety.

If those scenes were removed, then the movie would’ve at least stayed more focused on the serious tone that was intended. Granted, the Forest Gump joke was funny, but in hindsight, that and the other jokes served no real purpose. It almost seemed like Chris Rock took material from his stand-up routine, and just shoe-horned it into the film. ![]() One thing that Spiral simply didn’t need was the extra comedy. It definitely may strike a cord with some viewers that may understand the killer, even while disagreeing with their methods. I appreciated how the film took a timely social issue about the system of police, and incorporated that into the film. That is of course, despite going about it by immoral means. Similar to the previous Saw movies, the killer’s goal in Spiral was steeped in a righteous cause. Many of the scenes included a number of close-up shots of the body parts being mutilated and ripped apart.Īn intriguing aspect of Spiral was to be the motivation behind the killer. The death traps were definitely guaranteed to make most audiences squeamish and that’s probably thanks to much of the cinematography. True to the Saw franchise’s nature, Spiral didn’t hold back when it came to the high level of gore and violence. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game. Jackson), brash Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks (Chris Rock) and his rookie partner (Max Minghella) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. ![]() Working in the shadow of his father, an esteemed police veteran (Samuel L. A criminal mastermind unleashes a twisted form of justice in Spiral, the terrifying new chapter from the book of Saw. ![]() It is now used throughout California and limited to traffic situations only. In 1969, when the CHP assumed responsibility for freeway traffic from the LAPD, it took control of the SigAlert system as well. The term "Sigalert" was also used in Seattle, Washington in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was also used to warn about the impending Baldwin Hills Dam collapse in 1963. A pharmacist who had made a potentially fatal error in filling a prescription took advantage of the system to warn the customer (who heard the SigAlert in time). Īt first, the LAPD issued about one alert a day, but soon other agencies were calling in messages they wanted broadcast, including rabid dog reports, gas leaks and even a ship collision in Los Angeles Harbor. The first SigAlert was on Labor Day weekend in 1955, and some stories on the SigAlert conflate these two events. Too many doctors, nurses and sightseers drove there, making the situation worse. The alert described the derailment of a passenger train near Los Angeles' Union Station and requested any available doctors and nurses to respond to the scene. ![]() One of the first major "Sigmon traffic alerts" was broadcast on January 22, 1956, causing a traffic jam. Depending on the nature of the problem, the engineer could air the police broadcast immediately, interrupting regular programming if necessary. When a message had been received and recorded from the LAPD, a red light, sometimes accompanied by a buzzer, would alert the radio stations' engineers. Initially, half a dozen stations installed Sigmon receivers that had "Sigalert" stamped on their side. Parker, was interested, though skeptical, warning the inventor, "We're going to name this damn thing Sigalert." More practically, he refused to use it unless the receivers were made available to all Los Angeles radio stations-it could not be a KMPC monopoly. At the time, the device cost about $600 (equivalent to $5,600 in 2018). When the receiver picked up a particular tone, it would record the subsequent bulletin. Sigmon developed a specialized radio receiver and reel-to-reel tape recorder. Now, he proposed to apply his knowledge of complex radio networks to the situation in Los Angeles. Eisenhower's staff, in charge of non-combat radio communications in the European theater. Sigmon had worked for Golden West's station KMPC 710 in 1941 but found himself in the United States Army Signal Corps during World War II, assigned to General Dwight D. Sigmon was executive vice president of Golden West Broadcasters (a company owned by singing cowboy Gene Autry). ![]() "Sig" Sigmon began developing a solution. Using the telephone to distribute the information tied up telephone lines and forced officers to repeat the same information again and again. Radio stations reported traffic conditions, but the LAPD refused to call radio stations with this information, so each station would call the LAPD. By the early 1950s, the rapidly growing number of automobiles in Los Angeles had greatly increased the frequency and severity of traffic accidents and jams. SigAlerts originated in 1955 with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). In practice, there is no standard spelling the CHP website uses "SIG Alerts" and "Sigalert" while Caltrans uses "Sig-Alert". The term was added in 1993 to the New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) defines it as any traffic incident that will tie up two or more lanes of a freeway for two or more hours. In practice, the term refers to a notice of such a closure issued by the CHP, and Sigalerts are posted on the CHP website, broadcast on radio and television stations throughout California, and signaled to motorists via electronic message signs on the freeways. The term was originally the name of a pioneering system of automated radio broadcasts regarding traffic conditions, introduced in the 1950s and named after its inventor, Loyd Sigmon.Ī Sigalert is defined by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) as "any unplanned event that causes the closing of one lane of traffic for 30 minutes or more". Sig alert, Sig-alert or Sigalert in California, as well as other parts of the United States, means an incident that significantly disrupts road traffic. Neither Hermes nor Chaos will offer Duo Boons. There are 28 Duo Boons in Hades, shared between 8 different gods: Aphrodite, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Dionysus, Demeter, Poseidon, and Zeus. Artemis may not be my absolute favourite god, but at the end of the day she’s a god who will give players a substantial amount of damage in comparison to other gods simply because of the way that her Boons work. Duo Boons can only be obtained when you have the prerequisite boons and, like all boons, are lost when Zagreus dies and returns to the House of Hades.
