![]() ![]() ![]() Out of the blue, I got a message from Professor Adams. ![]() Then came the first of two very profound e-mail moments. I went over to my friend Sam’s dorm and watched How I Met Your Mother and ate a chocolate cupcake. The next day, after my linear algebra final (which was a much more pleasant experience) I was ready for the next step: to mope in good company. Absolutely mortified at the idea that they had discussed me at the grading session, I arranged to meet with him on January 4, when I returned to campus after winter break. Adams* and I concur that you know a lot more than what you exam grades show!” and said that he would be happy to meet with me. An hour and a half later, my professor responded, expressing sympathy, frustration because “Prof. I thanked them for their help during the semester, etc, and returned to angsting privately.īut not for long. After procrastinating for a few hours, I finally hit “send”, and away went my request for “advice you can give me on how to move forward from here.” During this period, I decided that the responsible course of action would be to e-mail my professor and my TA. My neurons fired through some possible courses of action, and settled on: moping.įirst, I moped alone. When I found out my final exam score, my brain immediately switched into “problem? there’s a problem? WHAT SHOULD BE DONE?” mode. He said: “whether you succeed or fail.” Umm…great. *I once asked a friend what distinguishes persistence from stubbornness. Like I mentioned, 8.05 (Quantum II) was a rough time frankly, I should have dropped the class after the midterm, but I was too stubborn (or too persistent*?) It took me a while to internalize that a grade is fixed but one’s reaction to it is not. ![]()

We only choose high quality ingredients and always cook every meal before freeze-drying it. We pay attention not only to the freeze-drying process but also to the way of preparing our meals. We even grow most of the herbs on our own fields to make the taste of LYO meals so exceptional. We do not add any preservatives, artificial food-additives, colorants or flavour enhancers. Davinia and Indiana will wind up eating most of this batch with a few going out to friends.For our meals we only use 100% natural and fresh ingredients. Next time I make this (hey I can give something a second try) DURING strawberry season I will cut them into smaller piece as Davinia wanted to take a whole piece and bring it to a special spot to eat but had a problem picking it up from the floor where breaking it into smaller pieces had them waiting not all the patiently while we did one for you one for you. They each just had about 1 /12 strawberries each and wanted more. While I am not a huge fan (I don’t like strawberries but was tempted by all the talk that they taste like Twizzlers to make them) Davinia and Indiana are both absolutely fans. I would also scrub them gently with the rough part of a sponge to try and get rid of some of the seeds which when cooked are a bit hard and overcooked tasting. I would let the strawberries sit in water before you begin the process of taking off the green tops and cutting off the white parts. My thinking is that because it really is not strawberry season while they looked fresh and delicious they probably were not awesome. While they do not taste like the fresh raw fruit they do taste a little sour. Nothing considering I haven’t had a single bite of one in years because they have wheat in them and I am allergic so something even remotely similar would be awesome. These taste nothing at all like a Twizzler. The stem will burn and create a not great smell and the white part is not juicy and so will not add flavor to your treat. Make sure to cut the stem and white part away. Just because your strawberry is large and juicy do not turn the oven temperature up. If your strawberries are very large you might want to cut them into quarters so that they do not take as long to cook. You want the juice to cook into the fruit not come out of it. Not only will it take forever to dry but they will be sitting in a pool of strawberry juice. ![]() The sky is the limit with these!įlip over halfway through and open oven occasionally to circulate the heat.ĭo not start cooking these with the fleshy part down.

![]() Especially as the 29 W one takes various plug adapters so it's very usable for international travel with Apple's World Travel Adapter Kit. And of course it will charge the computer completely overnight.Ģ9 W is a bit more than my iPhone and other devices need, but this adapter isn't so big that I'm going to bother with something like Apple's 20 W adapter. This provides the MBP enough power to make sure it doesn't drain its battery during normal use and even top it off slowly. (Although that MBP does light up 23 W worth of AMD GPU as soon as you plug in an external display.) So I got the 29 W USB-C charger Apple sold at the time. That 87 W power brick is pretty large and heavy, and guess what, running Microsoft Office doesn't take 87 W. After I got that MBP, I would often take it to the office. My old iPhone 8 even tends to get warm on the Qi pad, and certainly with an extended fast charge session.īut I think the most interesting use case is being on the go. Interestingly, the phone doesn't get warm when fast charging. ![]() However, the new iPhone often has so much charge left at night that I just don't bother charging it overnight but instead charge it to 80% using fast charging at some point the next day. I hate the waste involved, but it's so much more convenient than plugging in the phone. And on my night stand a 5 W Qi pad hooked up to a 10 W iPad mini charger so I can charge my iPhone overnight. (And my HP 4K monitor can supply 65 W to my MBP over USB-C.) Behind the couch I have a 36 W two port USB-C charger with a lightning cable and a USB-C cable plus a small cache of plug adapters for charging anything that finds itself in the couch area and needing power. So in my home office I have the MBP's 87 W USB-C charger hooked up, usually delivering just 3 of those W's to the Pi. In addition, I recently got a Raspberry Pi 400 that takes USB-C power and a couple of years ago a Nikon Z fc camera that has a removable battery, but you can charge it in-camera using USB-C PD. My situation: I have a 2016 MacBook Pro (the first one with just USB-C) and I just replaced my iPhone 8 with an iPhone SE (2020). Upgraded everything to USB-C PD fast charging? So how have all these changes impacted the way you charge your stuff? There's also wireless Qi / magsafe charging, although that's usually much less efficient and much slower. as of the iPhone 8 (2017) iPhones can take advantage of USB-C power delivery (PD) and charge at more than 15 W from a USB-C charger using that USB-C to lightning cable. I'm assuming for most post-2019 iPhone buyers, that wasn't their first iPhone rodeo, so most of you will have at least one region-appropriate version of that 5 W charger. With the iPhone 11 (2019) and later, no charger is included, and the cable is a USB-C to lightning one. (Got to love those foldable prongs on the UK version.) That will be an install base in the hundreds of millions within a year.Starting with the iPhone 5 (2012) Apple always included a USB type A to lighting cable and one of these 5 W chargers with any iPhone. ![]() When A17 is in the majority of iPhone models, the entire Apple product line will be capable of running AAA games. It's great to have a baseline at this level of performance. This would help Apple Vision Pro maintain 90FPS and iPhones would perform closer to M3. The latest FSR 3 has frame generation that can double FPS by generating a frame between rendered frames: There's a reference in Apple's documents saying they use AMD's FSR for MetalFX: There may be an improvement in future with MetalFX. The iPhone chips are around half the performance of the entry Mac chips (M3 = 2x A17) plus more thermally constrained. It makes sense to limit it to iPhone 15 Pro and above, it's only just able to play it:ħ20p/30 with some slowdown. For iPhones, it's iOS 17.0 or later, and a device with the A17 Pro chip or later - just the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. "Resident Evil 4" requires macOS 13.0 or later and a Mac with an M1 chip or later. ![]() ![]() ![]() For example, a bouquet of flowers might be a nice way to say "Happy Mother's Day" or "Happy Valentine's Day.
