Ratchet and rivet fan art1/1/2024 ![]() Clank urged Rivet to forgive Kit though she was uncertain she could, she vowed to save Kit regardless. There, she broke out Clank, Captain Quantum, Phantom, and the Resistance. Rivet was frightened by Kit and felt betrayed, while Kit, Ratchet, and Clank were sent to Zordoom, leading Rivet to follow. ĭefending the Dimensional Archives on Savali from Emperor Nefarious, Kit revealed her warbot form to confront Emperor Nefarious. After defending Sargasso, Rivet opened up about her story of losing her arm Kit realized that she was the warbot responsible but was interrupted before she could confess to Rivet. Rivet and Kit teamed up, but mutually agreed that despite seeing Ratchet and Clank's closeness that their partnership would be temporary as they were both used to working alone. Rivet and Kit teamed up to defeat him, but Emperor Nefarious returned and took the Dimensionator, then launched an attack on Sargasso. Rivet nervously meets Ratchet in person for the first time.Īt Zurkie's, Rivet regrouped with Ratchet and Clank and met Kit to build the device, only for Dr. When the Fixer identified Clank as a "fellow broken one," Rivet assured Clank he was no more broken than she was, referring to her also having lost an arm this inspired Clank to declare himself "fixed," calming the Fixer, at which point he mended the Phase Quartz. She then suggested they seek out the Fixer on Torren IV to repair it, but upon arriving, found the Fixer in an existential crisis, unable to fix anything as he was broken himself. Dislodging the drill to save the planet, Rivet chose to save Clank from the mining laser, sacrificing the Phase Quartz to the laser. Upon finding Blizar Prime destroyed in Rivet's dimension, they discovered that the mining platform had caused the destruction shortly after activating the mining drill. While searching for Phase Quartz, Rivet appreciated Clank's assistance as she was not accustomed to working with a partner, and expressed confusion that Ratchet was afraid to meet the lombaxes as she would have eagerly embraced the chance. ![]() After obtaining a part to repair Clank's communicator from Pierre Le Fer at Zurkie's, the group agreed they needed to build another Dimensionator, with Rivet and Clank looking for Phase Quartz on Blizar Prime. Highly suspicious of him, Rivet doubted his stories of how he had come from another dimension, took him to her hideout to scan his brain to validate his stories, before regretting it as they revealed his honesty, eventually resolving to work with him. ![]() Rift Apart ĭuring a Resistance mission to steal an infobot on Nefarious City, Corson V, Rivet came across Clank, damaged from his and Ratchet's dimension-jumping conflict with Dr. Īt some point, Rivet broke out of Zordoom Prison with Angela Cross. Following this, Rivet built herself a robotic arm, but had a deep mistrust of robots. One day, Rivet found a secret entrance into the Emperor's tower and attempted to sneak in alone, only to have warbot KT-7461 (who would later be named "Kit"), while working for Emperor Nefarious, sneak up on her and blast off her right arm before suddenly stopping its attack. Throughout this time, she had few friends outside of the morts, and no companion, conducting her missions alone. Rivet came to work for the Resistance movement, alongside others including Captain Quantum, though Quantum eventually left for the space pirates. Rivet was raised by the morts on Sargasso, working for their gelatonium refineries as a delivery person.

Airplane cockpit seat background1/1/2024 ![]() HIC measures the likelihood of head injury resulting from an impact. Where head contact with seats or other structure can occur, Boeing provides protection so that the head impact does not exceed the head injury criterion (HIC) established by the U.S. The highest load factor is in the forward direction at a force of 16g. Two separate dynamic tests are conducted to simulate two different accident scenarios: one in which the forces are predominantly in the vertical downward direction and one in which the forces are predominantly in the longitudinal forward direction. A 16g seat is tested in a manner that simulates the loads that could be expected in an impact-survivable accident. Today’s seats are required to withstand a 16g dynamic force. For commercial jet airplanes beginning in the 1950s, the 6g requirement was raised to 9g. In the 1930s, passenger airplane seats could withstand a static force six times the force of gravity (6g). In addition, the seat back is designed to protect passengers behind the seat from head injury. The greater the ability of airplane seats to remain in place and absorb energy during an impact, the greater the likelihood of passenger survival. Survivability is greatly influenced by seat design. The industry’s work on airplane safety and survivability of airplane interiors emphasizes three areas: surviving impact, surviving a fire, and evacuation. ![]() There were 125 survivors among the 127 passengers and crew aboard the flight. In August 2010, an airplane crashed while attempting to land during poor weather, breaking into three pieces on impact.In December 2009, an airplane carrying 154 passengers and crew overran the runway during a landing in heavy rain and broke apart.There were no fatalities among the 115 passengers and crew, even though the metal fuselage had been breached by fire. In December 2008, an airplane crashed while taking off, ending up on fire in a 40-foot-deep ravine several hundred yards from the runway.Some recent events highlight the safety of today’s passenger jet airplane interiors during takeoff and landing accidents. ![]() For example, Boeing has worked continuously to enhance the safety of its products and to lead the industry to higher levels of safety through global collaboration.īoeing airplane interiors have become both more comfortable and safer over time.īy working together, regulators, operators, and manufacturers can maximize safety by sharing knowledge and targeting safety efforts to address areas with the most risk. Since the first passenger airplane was introduced in the 1930s, airplane manufacturers have worked to make airplanes safer for the passengers and crew who fly in them (see fig. 1). A history of improving airplane interiors This article provides examples of significant interior enhancements to Boeing airplanes and how they enhance airplane safety, particularly during accidents that occur during takeoffs and landings. ![]() This decrease is due in part to continuing efforts by airplane manufacturers and regulators to use information gained from accidents to develop safer, more survivable airplanes. The accident fatality rate for jet airplanes has fallen dramatically during the last 50 years.

Spotify music itunes1/1/2024 ![]() There are several tiers of lossless audio available, starting with CD quality, 16-bit at 44.1kHz, and going up to 24-bit at 48kHz. Apple uses ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec), so the music stays true to the original audio file. The entire 100 million Apple Music songs are now available in lossless audio. Spotify's promised lossless tier of service is still nowhere to be found.Īpple, on the other hand, has made significant strides in providing free audio quality upgrades for all subscribers. Upgrade to Premium, and that boosts quality up to AAC 256Kbps on the web player, and on the apps you'll get four quality levels maxing out at 320Kbps. Download the Spotify app for desktop, mobile, or tablet and it will adjust streaming quality based on your connection, anywhere from 24Kbps to 160Kbps. ![]() For Spotify, the free version of the software streams at AAC 128Kbps via the web player. We also need to discuss the audio quality that comes with streaming songs on both services. Spotify offers a similar function, relegating your local music files to a separate tab, but you can’t access your local music via broad searches as you can with Apple Music. Any music you have - whether previously purchased via the iTunes Store, ripped from a physical CD, or uploaded to iTunes Match - will appear in your Apple Music library, giving you the option to freely browse your own music alongside Apple’s standard catalog. There’s another area where Apple Music has a leg up on its competition: integration of the iTunes library. However, Apple has taken steps to secure many more exclusives than the competition, largely because it doesn’t offer a free tier. The Swedish streaming service also brings all the latest releases, exclusive live sessions, and various new singles right to its New Releases tab each Friday, as well as the Release Radar playlist.Īpple’s service also touts more than 100 million songs, with this size of library becoming more common among streaming services these days. Spotify is home to more than 100 million songs and 5 million podcasts, more music than your ears would even know what to do with. Join us below to see which of these juggernaut music- streaming services is right for you. The competition between these two services has helped the recording industry reach record heights for digital revenue, and the question of which music streaming service is better has become increasingly tough to answer. Apple’s Music is known for its high-profile exclusives, robust library, curated radio, and seamless integration with iOS. Apple Music was once the leader in all things digital music, but is currently behind Spotify with an estimated 88 million users worldwide as of June 2022 and 32.6 million in the U.S as of February 2023. Spotify currently has over 210 million paying subscribers worldwide (44.4 million in the U.S.) and offers a free tier option as well as tried and true music-sharing and discovery experience. But when it comes to music streaming services, there's perhaps been no bigger rivalry that Apple Music and Spotify, and choosing between them is no mean feat. Coke-Pepsi, McDonald's-Burger King - these are some of the world's biggest rivalries (it must be lunch time).

Joan diamonds and rust1/1/2024 ![]() why do you act as if you want me NOW?"ĭylan's calls evoke both delightful memories (diamonds) AND awful ones (rust). Part of her thinks it's wonderful to hear from him, but another part is angry and resentful, wondering "What the hell do you want? To reminisce about the good old days? Feeling nostalgic? I mean, you obviously didn't want me when you had me.

They split up, and Joan has spent years trying to move on and put him out of her mind. He was always "keeping things vague," acting one moment as if they were going to get married, then acting as if they were just pals. but the relationship ended because (in Joan's view), Bob could never make up his mind what he wanted from his relationship with her. They had some wonderful moments that Joan still treasures. Then give me another word for it, you who were so good with words and at keeping things.

Scrawl game target1/1/2024 ![]() If the room is used for plotting a conspiracy theory, it's a String Theory. ![]() A Shrine to Self may likewise double as a Room Full Of Crazy for Omnicidal Maniacs and the like. If the Room Full of Crazy is specific enough, for example, only part of a wall is covered with photos of the same subject, it may be a Stalker Shrine. A neatly typed ream of crisp white paper reading " All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" will work just as well. It should be noted that a character doesn't have to cover the walls with writing to make this an effective trope. These rooms can also be susceptible to cases of vanishings as well. It's not unusual for this moment of discovery to be quickly followed by an attempt on the discoverer's life by the owner of the room. ![]() And don't expect these characters to be deterred by the fact that they Couldn't Find a Pen they'll write with their own blood if they have to.Ĭharacters who display this kind of behavior are not always dangerous or even fully insane, but they are always obsessed.Ī detective/doctor/family member can stumble across rooms full of these kinds of paranoid obsessive ramblings and realize that they are Alone with the Psycho. Usually, a character will find some room in their environment upon which to fully express the terms of their obsession. These can be supplemented with pictures, newspaper articles, official documents, etc. Confessions, mathematical equations, rants, and screeds are also popular. It can be the same phrase written dozens of times, or an elaborate theory detailing a supposed conspiracy. One of the standard symptoms of insanity as it is portrayed in television and film media is paranoia accompanied by graphomania, usually expressed by writing on walls, tables, body parts, etc. |
