How did you get into TF2 (Team Fortress 2)?
YouTubeLet me explain where I am coming from.You see, I am a Brony, which means that I am a male who likes the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Highly recommend it by the way, give it a watch.).The main charactersNow before you report me for an bad answer, hear me out on this.You see, due to my interest in the show, I eventually came by this YouTuber:https://www.youtube.com/user/jos...This guy is Josh Burner, who goes by the YouTube names of Joshscorcher, the Fiery Joker, and Commander Firebrand. He is a YouTuber who is known for Let’s plays, dubs, game reviews, and he is a Brony Analyzer and Reviewer.I originally watched him for his MLP content, but then took a look at his other work, which I found interesting. I found out that apparently, one of his favorite games was TF2, but I didn’t really care about that until I found his response to a negative review of TF2.This video intrigued me on what TF2 was, so I decided to take a look into the game to see what it was all about. I found out that it was on Steam, as I got an account to play Garry’s Mod, and the game was Free to Play, so I decided to download the game. I liked the game, so I played it more and more, and here I am today.And that is the story of how My Little Pony introduced me to Team Fortress 2.Eat on that, Brony haters.
What are the pros and cons of using Blender 3D animation software?
Pros:It's free and the most of the useful plug-ins are free.It's relatively lightweight. Even after a fresh install of both Maya and Blender, Maya takes at at least a minute to boot up while Blender takes a couple of seconds.Almost limitless customisation. Blender allows you to completely replace its base theme to suit your exact visual needs, be it a sight problem or a need for an alternative look.A robust hot-key workflow. Blender can almost be completely controlled using just the keyboard. This means that if you learn the hot-key for most of your tasks your working speed will become very fast.Constantly updated. Blender is quick to adopt new features and implementations of useful tools like Opensubdivision from Pixar.Control presets. The Maya and Max control presets allow you to set up Blender just like Maya and Max with the same shortcuts and viewport navigation.Community. Over the years I've found the community to be very helpful and quick to solve problems.Cons:The interface is a complete mess. Duplicate buttons scattered over the screen. There's hundreds of buttons filling up the screen and many useful controls nested into counterintuitive places.Buggy format support. I've found export containers like FBX to be considerably more buggy than their Autodesk native variants.Community. While helpful I've found that the community has an unrelenting bias towards Blender, so much so that it almost hinders some development just to be ‘different’3D cursor. I don't care what anyone says, that thing is more annoying and pointless than anything else.Origin controls. The way the program handles object origins is simply backwards and annoying.The animation toolset is not up to par with Maya or Max. So much so that I do all animation in other programs. It's not so much the tools on offer, it's the workflow, it's highly prone to error and bugs.Bugs. I sometimes work on heavy projects. Projects that Max and Maya handle with ease will in a worst case scenario crash my graphics driver in Blender.It's not used much professionally. Many studios build many of the tools on python for Maya or Pymel. It's a stretch to rebuild these over in bender for the small amount of people that might use them.Plug-in support. Most of the plug-ins I use don't work as well in Blender or are simply not supported.
What causes fuses to blow?
Various reasons can cause a fuse to repeatedly blow. A fuse is placed in a circuit as a safety measure and is expected to blow if the conditions against which it is to guard are violated. The conditions under which fuses may blow repeatedly are as follows:wrong power rating of fuse- a fuse placed at a certain point in a circuit monitors the current passing through that point and is rated as such to prevent a flow in excess of the limit that might be detrimental to the well-being of the circuit elements beyond that point, however, putting the wrong rating of fuse (under-rated) might cause it to give in even under normal circuit conditions.abnormal circuit conditions- there may be short circuit or abnormal conditions due to some failure which might be causing the circuit to draw heavily on the system in excess of nominal value rated for the circuit.wrong type of fuse- some circuits are designed to be protected by a slow blow fuse and this can be a problem if one replaces with a fast blow fuse. Under certain given conditions, a circuit may have a reason to delay the cutting off of power till some modules are operated into rest position and thus necessitate a slow blow fuse to cater for that and this must still be replaced with one of the same kind for good operation of the circuit and to have the desired effect.dead short-circuit : some component might be failing under load (perhaps due to overheating or something) and creating a path of less resistance and thus causing the circuit current to rise to above critical levels and subsequently blowing the fuse. It might be an intermittent fault that will need to be put under observation. Some trouble-shooting tip might be to have a can of cool-jet or some other compound to give cooling effect to spray on suspicious components to find out the culprit, if it is a case of overheating.
Do games/applications that say Ubuntu also work on Linux Mint? I’m a noob at Linux.
Linux Mint uses both “Debian and Ubuntu” as upsource for it’s base repositories.So, in most cases you’ll find game are compatible. However, some require system libraries might not be compatible, it really depends on the game and the “environment” it’s running in (native or not like with Steam).You could also try Fedora Linux (RedHat based) as alternative to the whole Ubuntu, Debian flavor. It’s also kind of built for gaming, just because it tend to have most updated packages and big community.If you really know yourself around Linux, you can go with Arch Linux also.
What is the difference between demineralized water and H2O?
Naturally obtained water has certain minerals dissolved into it. Famous in Texas is water from the Balcones Escarpment. This curved appearing geological area in Texas (the hill country) is principally limestone, which makes the water very “soft” and it tastes very good. It was used in making Pearl beer (from the country of 1100 springs) for many years. In other areas, the water may contain dissolved iron particles, which makes it very “hard”. You can taste the difference in the water too.Demineralized water has had some purification to it and has those and other minerals removed. It tastes “flat” by comparison. Long term usage would not provide the minerals necessary for normal tooth health.Bonus Info: The water on ships used in steam boilers is 50 to 100 times purer than the everyday water you drink. This is necessary to prevent calcium and iron scale from building up inside those steam tubes and clogging them up into a non functioning state. It tastes very flat.
What is the keyboard shortcut for making a window full screen?
It is possible that questioner wants to maximize the window as opposed to making the app run in full screen mode. In that case, the time honored shortcut is “Alt-space x”. In Windows, a press of Windows-uparrow (or 2 or 3 presses) will also usually do it. (Indeed, the latter is what I typically use.)It should be noted that the behavior of what is called “full screen mode” can differ from application to application, and it may disable other shortcuts. Furthermore, the method of invoking it may differ among applications. F11 is common for browsers, and I do use that. If there is a shortcut for making a YouTube video (or any other video) go full screen, I do not know it and I would like to have one. The only way I have known for videos is to mouse click a widget on the video’s ‘screen’. (I do know the shortcut for the VLC player. It’s f.)
