![]() I’m not going to lie to you – the Nugget is definitely not a perfect product. Is the Nugget Perfect? What You Might Not Love The best part of the Nugget are endless possibilities! It can grow with the kids (I remember building forts out of furniture myself still halfway through primary school) and there are many alternative ways to use it. The covers are super easy to remove and put back on when you need to wash them. The no-assembly required Nugget is delivered in a bright orange vacuum-sealed 15x15x34 inch box. I’m not surprised why many parents say it’s the best toy ever – my kid jumped on it immediately and he’s not even 2! It can be used as a couch for kids as it sits on the floor, but it’s best used for building forts, slides, tents and tunnels. It’s made of simple foam with a washable microsuede fabric cover available in different colors – many of which are limited edition and only sold temporarily. The design is simple and hasn’t changed for years. It’s basically a play couch made up of four foam pieces: base, cushion, and two triangle pillows. The Nugget Comfort is best described as “part-furniture and part-toy”. I’m glad I did as I totally see why the Nugget kids sofa gets all the attention. Why do I need this?”.īut, as I kept hearing it about it over and over from every single mom on Facebook I decided to give it a try. Quite frankly when I first heard about it my first thought was: “Seriously? It’s just a piece of foam. I bought my own Nugget Comfort in June restock and quite frankly just ordered another one in their summer restock. This post is NOT sponsored by Nugget in any way. Unsurprisingly a small company that funded the Nugget Couch through Kickstarter back in 2015 became one of the fastest-growing in the USA this year. It’s one of THE most-wanted toys, but also extremely hard to get. If you have a toddler and haven’t heard of the Nugget yet, you must have been living under a rock.

![]() The Limits of Whiteness also discusses the "Aryan narrative" used to describe Iranians by both the people in Iran and by the diaspora, and the formation of biases. It is about the people of all MENA communities, but it specifically centers around Iranians.

Then, when an application starts dropping frames, Motion Smoothing will kick in automatically. To opt in, head to Library > Tools, right-click on Steam VR, select the Betas tab, and choose "beta" from the drop-down. It does not work on Oculus Rift or Windows Mixed Reality headsets because they use different techniques to deal with this issue. Motion Smoothing is currently available in beta and only works on Windows 10 systems with an Nvidia GPU. The feature also benefits higher-end GPUs, allowing them to "render at an even higher resolution." "From the player's perspective, what was previously a game that would hitch and drop frames producing judder is now a game that constantly runs smoothly at 90Hz," Vlachos wrote. If that doesn't improve the situation, Motion Sensing can synthesize two or even three frames for every one delivered by the app.Īll the while, players experience the game's full frame rate. When Motion Smoothing kicks in, the app essentially renders one out of every two frames, "dramatically lowering the performance requirements," Vlachos wrote. Synthesizing new frames keeps the current application at full framerate, advances motion forward, and avoids judder."

Stimpacks are rare to find, so try to conserve them as much as possible. Grab yourself a pipe pistol or the 10mm, and a melee weapon. When first starting out, be sure to craft yourself a set of leather armor. Skill Cards: Picklock, Hacker, First Aid, Action Boy/Action Girl, Good Doggy, Dromedary There is plenty of wiggle room on this blood-soaked road! ![]() Always check what cards you will receive before assigning a perk point into that category, you may be able to level up a card from duplicates received in card packs! The heavy doesn’t start to shine until you are in your 30’s, so don’t get discouraged. For example ( Concentrated Fire, Picklock, Hacker, First Aid, and Gunsmith). When first starting your adventure in the waste land, be smart! The most practical use of your perk points will be to disperse them to unlock necessary quality of life cards.

"The spacecraft doesn't feel anything traveling into interstellar space. Looking at a pair of solar storms that caught up to the spacecraft last October and then again last April, Gurnett’s team reported that measured changes in electrical activity around Voyager correspond to interstellar space.Īs the storms passed the spacecraft, they triggered spikes in electrical and radio waves that uniquely corresponded in frequency to the spacecraft having entered the more densely charged interstellar space.īased on that increase, the team extrapolated the entry date for Voyager 1 into interstellar space as August 25, 2012. One key to identifying this boundary is the difference in the density of charged particles between the solar wind and interstellar space, as it is about 50 times greater in the latter region. ![]() Since an instrument for directly detecting that transition died in 1980, the researchers have had to rely on indirect measures of magnetic and electrical activity from other instruments aboard Voyager 1 to find an answer. ![]() Knowing exactly where the solar wind ends and where interstellar space begins has been an open question among space scientists for more than four decades, says Stone. Since 2004, Voyager 1 had been traveling within the boundary region between the solar wind and the interstellar wind, which is the cooked-off debris of thousands of exploded stars in our Milky Way galaxy. The solar wind flows outward from the sun traveling at one million miles (1.6 million kilometers) an hour, a bath of energetic particles that's blasted off the solar surface and into space, where it surrounds our star like a bubble.Īt its edges, the solar wind piles up into the "interstellar wind," a cloud of cooler charged particles that suffuse the thin vacuum of space between stars. "It’s not quite the moon landing, but we are where the solar wind ends." "It is an incredible event, to send the first human object into interstellar space," says study lead author Donald Gurnett of the University of Iowa in Iowa City. On that date, Voyager 1 passed beyond the fringes of the sun's outward-flowing solar wind and into the interstellar space between the stars. Solar storm aftershocks at the edge of the solar system provide confirmation that the Voyager 1 spacecraft made the passage on August 25, 2012, space agency scientists said Thursday. "We made it! We are in interstellar space," said Voyager scientist Ed Stone of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, speaking at the briefing. Proof of this long-anticipated milestone for the storied spacecraft comes in a study released Thursday by the journal Science and announced at a celebratory NASA headquarters briefing. Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 traveled past Jupiter and Saturn and is now more than 11.66 billion miles (18.67 billion kilometers) from the sun, becoming the first spacecraft to enter interstellar space. That makes the spacecraft the fastest object built by mankind, able to fly some 250 times faster than the top speed of a Lockheed Martin F-16 jet.It’s official: Voyager 1 has slipped from the solar system. To solve this lingering solar puzzle, the Parker Solar Probe must touch the corona and race through this wispy and nebulous plasma at speeds as high as 365,000 miles per hour (587,000 kilometers per hour). At these times, the corona appears as a blazing ring of white light. The corona is difficult to study from Earth as the light it produces is "washed out" by light from the aptly named photosphere which is only really visible when the moon covers the surface of the sun during an eclipse. Additionally, the plasma of the photosphere is as much as 10 million times denser than the plasma of the corona, meaning the pressures inside the star should also be greater, so it is something of a puzzle why the corona is so blisteringly hot. Because most of the heat from the sun comes from the nuclear fusion processes at its heart, stellar models say that the interior regions should be hotter. The corona reaches temperatures in excess of 1.8 million degrees Fahrenheit (1 million degrees Celsius) in comparison to the average temperature of the photosphere of around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,800 degrees Celsius). |
