![]() Here are how the M2 year-over-year growth numbers look since April, as M2 is slowly declining. Still, with the fastest rate hiking cycle in history relative to the base where it started, and a yield curve the most inverted since the early 1980s, M2 growth will likely turn negative. ![]() Two years later it got down to 0.31%, after the only soft landing in recent memory was engineered by the Greenspan Fed in the mid-1990s. In March 1993, M2 growth got as low as 0.23%. As per the chart below, we saw the sharpest rise and sharpest fall in M2 growth in 65 years (as far as I can get M2 growth data). Shorter three and six-month annualized rates of change are negative. At last count (and this is monthly data) the Y-o-Y growth rate in M2 is only 1.3%. The problem is that the spending in WW2 lasted five years while this time we did it in one year! That $6 trillion in COVID spending caused a surge in M2 money supply to the tune of 26.9% in February 2021. spent as much money on COVID as it did during all of World War II, relative to the size of the U.S. The surge in deficit spending during COVID caused the current inflation. ![]() #2: Inflation Should Decline Dramatically in 2023. Be that as it may, I think the gold market is looking further than this week’s FOMC meeting and is focusing on what is likely to happen in 2023. We’ve seen that the difference between what they should do and what they will do can be gargantuan, so whether they “pivot” or not on Wednesday is uncertain. Since all measures of the yield curve are deeply inverted, I believe the Fed should announce a pause at their Wednesday meeting, but given Powell’s erratic behavior at FOMC pressers, this is hard to predict. What can derail this selloff is any sharp escalation of the Ukrainian conflict or a spill over into other countries, which is impossible to forecast – and I sincerely hope it does not happen. Since the ECB is behind the Fed, the interest rate differential between the dollar and the euro is likely to shrink, thus supporting the euro and pressuring the dollar, driving investors to the euro vs. #1: I think gold bullion and the dollar are seeing the end of the Fed tightening cycle and the start of the ECB rate-raising cycle. Here are two key reasons why this inverse correlation is likely to continue. Please read important disclosures at the end of this commentary. ![]() Graphs are for illustrative and discussion purposes only. On the latest downswing in the dollar, gold began its latest run. The higher the dollar went, the lower gold went and vice versa. Since the middle of 2022 until now, gold has become decidedly inversely correlated with the U.S. The latest such positive correlation was late 2021 to early 2022. In the past five years we have flipped between periods where gold was decidedly inversely correlated with the dollar and then decidedly positively correlated. Learn more about your gold investing options here.Over long periods of time, gold can be viewed as the “anti-dollar,” or more broadly as “anti-paper money,” but over an intermediate term (3-5 years) its price pattern can be quite a bit more complicated. With careful planning, gold can be a wise investment that can help you achieve your financial goals, but you need to make sure it's the right move for your money before taking the plunge. If you're thinking about investing in gold, be sure to do your research and understand the potential risks and rewards involved. This route can be an easy way for beginner investors to get started and there are reputable companies that can help you navigate this type of gold investing. For example, if you're investing in physical gold, you will need access to the appropriate storage facilities or safe deposit boxes, which comes at an additional expense.Īlternatively, you can invest in gold through a gold IRA, gold futures or gold ETFs, which provide exposure to the gold market without the need for physical possession. Gold is a tangible asset, which means that certain types of gold investments can come with certain storage, security and transaction costs. The practical considerations don't scare you By assessing your investment goals and understanding the trade-offs between the potential returns of other investments and the stability of gold, you can determine whether this type of investment fits your overall strategy. Unlike stocks or bonds, gold does not generate income or dividends, so if you invest a significant portion of your portfolio in gold, you may miss out on potential returns from other income-generating assets. ![]() Once filled, set your broiler to high and broil until tops of stuffing and squash are nicely browned, 5 minutes or so. Scoop the stuffing mixture into each one, filling them evenly.ĩ. Once ready to stuff the squash, preheat the broiler and arrange the 4 squash halves face-up on the baking sheet.

If a modpack or server sets different conversion ratios in Galacticraft's config, then, depending also on other mods installed and how those are configured, it might allow players to construct 'free energy' loops using three different mods. Think of it as the Galacticraft coal generator at full heat turning coal intoĮlectrical energy 50% more efficiently than BuildCraft's Stirling Engine can. So, the BC conversion ratio is set at 16. If 1600 MJ = 38,400 gJ then strictly 1 MJ = 24 gJ.īut, that feels imbalanced - for example redstone engines make too much gJ if the ratio is 24. In a coal generator operating at 100% hull heat (less efficient at lower hull heats). In Galacticraft, 1 lump of coal produces 38,400 gJ In a vanilla Furnace, which corresponds with 1600 MJ in BuildCraft. This is by design: coal has 1600 ticks burn time In BuildCraft, 1 lump of coal produces 1600 MJ (Minecraft Joules) This note is included in Galacticraft's source code: (Some other mod authors round that to 1 MJ = 2.5 EU.) They are consistent with the convention that 1 MJ = 2.44 EU. These values are considered to offer the best overall balancing between these different mods power systems. 1 J from Mekanism is 0.655 gJ : 1 gJ is 1.525 J.1 MJ from Buildcraft is 16.0 gJ : 1 gJ is 0.0625 MJ.IC2 Tier 4 energy items (for example, Lapotron Crystal) are too powerful and cannot be charged in any Galacticraft machine, you would have to use an MFSU for that.ĭefault energy conversion ratios in Galacticraft 3 are: Galacticraft Tier 2 machines (for example, Energy Storage Cluster) can additionally charge all IC2 Tier 3 energy items (for example, Energy Crystal). ![]() Galacticraft machines (for example, Energy Storage Module) can charge all IC2 Tier 1 or Tier 2 energy items (for example, RE-Battery or Advanced RE-Battery). IC2 items can be charged in Galacticraft machines (and can power Galacticraft machines). (Galacticraft power grids will always provide 120 volts, or up to 120 EU per packet, into IC2.) If you are playing Galacticraft together with IC2, then IC2 components emitting at over 120 volts (or over 120 EU per packet) are counted as Tier 2 components in Galacticraft, anything less than that is Tier 1. At least one power emitter sending power into the grid is Tier 2 - so it could be an Advanced Solar Panel or an Energy Storage Cluster.All wires in the grid are Heavy Aluminum Wire or equivalents ( Sealable Heavy Aluminum Wire, Walkway).Tier 2 Machines will operate more efficiently if powered using a Tier 2 power grid - they receive a noticeable speed buff, usually between 25% and 33%. Galacticraft 3 uses an updated system which is more compatible, more stable, higher performance, and also offers 2 tiers of electrical machinery and the ability to transmit electricity using beams. Major performance improvements were made at that time. That started out being fairly similar to Universal Electricity, but was developed and improved through Galacticraft 2 updates. ![]() By the time of Galacticraft 2, Galacticraft left the Universal Electricity stable and created its own internal energy system. Sadly good intentions do not always work out due to people having differences of opinion. That was a neat idea to have a lot of different mods by different authors all use one energy system. Those kW and kJ units were the equivalent of the Watts and Joules units used in Mekanism and in the Universal Electricity mods, so 1 kJ in Galacticraft was 1000 J in Mekanism.Įarly versions of Galacticraft 1 were part of the Universal Electricity system. An Energy Storage Module stores 2.5 MJ, that's 2500 kJ, enough to operate one basic machine continuously for around 10 minutes. A typical basic machine uses 4 kW to operate, that's 4 kJ every second. In original Galacticraft and Galacticraft 2, the energy units are kiloWatts (kW) and kiloJoules (kJ). Whatever, Galacticraft works with all of them without any problem!!! But because of these setup issues, it's worth bearing in mind that Galacticraft does not need RF mods and there are alternative power systems, for example Mekanism.īecause Galacticraft is compatible with everything, some players use Aluminum Wire to convert power between IC2 / Mekanism / RF. Note: RF and CoFH mods can sometimes be pretty difficult to install and set up, due to coremod and API updates between their different versions and not much in the way of documentation. What does this mean? Although the inner workings of Galacticraft do not use RF, Galacticraft will use RF when connecting its machines or wires to any of the CoFH mods or any other RF mod. Galacticraft 3 is a 100% RF-compatible mod, and has been compatible with RF since the beta phase of Galacticraft 3 finished.
The “-p” option makes your configuration persistent – meaning that it will be there again next time you boot. The first column is the interface id, 49 in my case. For example, I know my system has a gigabit network adapter and in the list I see a “Intel(R) Gigabit Network Connection” – bingo – that’s it. You’ll need to figure out which one to use. It will also list the ‘Metric’ to use, and at the top of the listing is the “Interface List” which lists the network interfaces on your system. To help discover what you need to use, disconnect from your VPN, make sure you can connect to your local device, then run a “route print” show the current active routes and find your device. You don’t need to use split tunneling to enable access to local devices, you just need to add the local devices to the windows routing tables so that it knows to access them when the VPN is active. Un-checking allows access to the local network and gateway.Īgain remember this is a security feature and should not be reconfigured unless necessary and you are aware of the risks. When checked, its default state, it forces all traffic through the remote site. In the resulting window select Networking, highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click properties, click Advanced, and in the resulting window un-check “Use Default Gateway on remote network. Locate the VPN/PPP adapter, right click on it and choose properties. This will work on XP and earlier clients as well but the path to the adapters is slightly different. To do so open Control Panel, select Network and Sharing Center, and then choose “Change Adapter Settings”. However if you are using a Windows VPN client you can edit the configuration to allow split-tunneling. It is managed by the VPN appliance and will require the administrator to configure and enable if they see a need to do so. ![]() If you have an Enterprise VPN solution such as Cisco, Watchguard, Sonicwall, or others, as an end user cannot enable split-tunneling. Due the security reasons outlined above, I do not recommend enabling this, however in some cases it is necessary or perhaps you just wanted to know why. In order to simultaneously access the local and remote VPN network you need to enable a feature called split-tunneling. If you don’t believe me have a look at the following Ted Talks video by Avi Rubin “All your devices can be hacked”. ![]() Granted, there are many security features in place, or at least there should be, such as firewalls and NTFS security permissions to protect your corporate data, similar to the security corridor from the 60’s & 70’s TV show Get Smart, but the more of these doors left open, the easier it is for hackers. Either through the shared Wi-Fi connection, or even an “Ad Hoc” wireless connection, the person at the next table could conceivably route packets through your wireless device directly to head office. Or, consider an Internet Cafe’ where you are on the same local network as total strangers. It basically isolates your device from the world around you so that Johnny playing video games in the next room cannot route traffic through your PC to the corporate site. This is to provide some degree of security by preventing someone with malicious intent from reaching the corporate server using your PC/Laptop as a stepping stone. ![]() There is a security feature in almost all VPN configurations that blocks all local network connections while connected to the corporate network, via a VPN. It is pretty basic but for those that don’t understand I thought I would address this in a blog so that in future I can just provide a pointer. There are constantly questions in various forums “how do I maintain internet access through my local router while connected to a VPN”, or “ how do I access my local TCP/IP printer while connected to a VPN”. ![]() Save that i think it's super boring to be at FAANG companies. The main benefit of FAANG is reputation, money, perks and peers. But, such work is not done by every member of the FAANG team. The difference is maybe in the number of problems solved. Maybe few people do get the opportunity to think and solve hard out-of-the-ordinary problems, but anyone having a nice background, can solve them. This said, if someone is well grounded in the principles of software, FAANG solutions is no longer out of reach. It's a combination of several solutions + fine tuning in that context. S3 at the end of the day is a designed service, which when broken down part by part reveals no out of the ordinary engineering. ![]() I still think that contributing to OpenSource might be a better experience in terms of real job done. Clap back with the force and ferocity of an Oklahoman Cyclone. So if (and really, when, given how hard layoffs have dispersed talent to the winds) you come across a peer whose only claim to your attention in a technical discussion is, "Well I breathed the same air that Uncle Jeff once farted into!"-clap back. And to be blunt, that's what all this headline massacring really boils down to-marketability.īecause, to the extent that engineers from these companies have done awe-inspiring work-the value of which you'd have to measure in the millions-much of that same work is/was predicated upon the shoulders of giants and a nigh-bottomless wellspring of resources that would only cost any other business billions to acquire and maintain.Īnd that context, unlike knowing how to invert a binary tree, is not a transferable asset that comes with your shiny new FAANGineer teammate. Putting aside the notion that, your personality != your work history, I think it's silly, naive even, to conflate one's marketability with their credibility. ("Now let's get back to talking about basketball and anime!") □□□□□' □□□□□□□□□.įun fact: I rarely, if ever, bring up the particulars of my previous employers when it comes to my current work.Įven if it's a casual meet-and-greet, I'm more than likely to just say, "Yeah, before I joined Cash App, I worked at a few other tech companies." ![]() To behave in such a way as to assume others will listen to oneself by nothing more than the virtue of the fact that one once worked at a FAANG company. ![]() From that moment on, Aine herself becomes the first in the large cast of women accompanying him on an epic quest to save the world. The Protagonist subjects to this test and survives, thus proving himself as the Chosen One. And the only way for the Chosen One to realize his potential is to have dangerous sex with Eris's sister - Aine, the Goddess of Love and Sex. Only a few brave souls were able to escape the curse with their libido intact.

Fixed Cassandra and Mel not having sex when he visits under certain conditions.īook of Lust v0.0.61.1a (SubscribeStar Version) Fixed Fuck other not working when Julia possessed. Fixed Summon Succubus not working when Julia is possessed. It was possibly ‘causing an issue in which scenes would transition without variables fully saving. Made change to a script used by almost all scenes. Reduced transparency of dialogue boxes a little. Fixed Soul Link activating during both dreamwalks in Caroline’s questline. Fixed Spell UI showing up over main UI when initiating dreamwalk on Caroline. Fixed skipping Caroline’s first dreamwalk quest. Fixed softlock when talking to succubus about Caroline after completing her bodyswap and dreamwalk quests. Fixed not being able to cast dreamwalk on Caroline if casting the spell on someone else during her quest. Fixed Body Swapped Caroline disappearing under certain circumstances instead of following Jake’s schedule. Fixed Talent UI not updating skill rank. Fixed softlock during Aspects hunting scenes. That and adding placeholders for her and the sandbox cast. I still have to work on some of the post-chapter 1 mechanics like adding a scene when walking into Julia's room when Caroline's in there. The list of post-chapter 1 changes are already pretty big and I wanted to make sure they worked first. Aside from that, there's no actual new sex scenes. Seduction will also be added as a talk action. She'll leave Jake's room in her own body, Trust/Mood are removed as stats and replaced with Influence/Love, Love will be locked at 100 and influence/love won't fall bellow a certain value. Getting the best ending reworks a lot of Caroline's mechanics. The main focus of this content update was to finish off the writing for Caroline's arc. Fixed incorrect portrait displayed during Mel/Jake sex scene. Fixed potential softlock when summoning succubus in front of Caroline. Added updated version of Caroline’s ending theme. Fixed softlock when having sex with Delved Olivia while Playing as Cassandra. Fixed softlock while doing any action in the mall that advances time. Fixed incorrect music playing at certain times. Fixed a couple of the placeholder dialogue. Fixed Infatuation not dispelling when bodyswapping with Valerie. Changed wording of “who should cast bodyswap” choice when talking to Caroline to make it less confusing. Added small line when talking with succubus about Caroline hinting at using the Aspect Birth spells on her. Reduced Amount of times required to fuck succubus for Caroline’s quest to 2, 3, and 4 times from 3, 5, and 7 times. Julia should no longer be available for dating advice or seducing Caroline while Possessed. Julia should no longer invite Jake to the Cafeteria while possessed. Added Sex Scene with Jake while playing as Julia. Fixed Obedience and Affection not working on Donovan.

The 19-year-old has grown followings on both TikTok and OnlyFans. A 5-year-old girl was growing at a rapid rate and the child’s mom sent Currin a hand-drawn picture the kid drew of the two ladies standing side-by-side. One “really sweet” fan interaction stayed close to her heart, too. She also feels happy that her TikTok videos are making a difference in people’s lives, admitting that countless fans have reached out to her for advice about body positivity. “I just choose to not date at the moment.” “I just want people to accept themselves for who they are and embrace their uniqueness,” she said. “There are a lot of people who like tall girls, dating isn’t difficult,” she said. She also has decided to stay single by choice, noting many men flock to her. “It’s almost a breach of privacy and they ain’t even slick about it,” she explained to the publication.Įven though the teen is unemployed, she has hopes to become a model and social media influencer full-time. Currin has gone viral on TikTok - amassing almost two million followers on the platform. “The only thing I don’t like is when people take photos of me without my permission. “I really don’t mind answering their questions, they’re just curious,” she added. “When people approach me it’s either to ask me about my height or to get a photo with me.” I feel like everything is built for one size, ‘the ideal size,’ ” she said. “The world isn’t built for taller people and sometimes it is annoying. The influencer admitted that the benefits of being tall are “limited.” While her stature has allowed her to be involved in sports like basketball and volleyball growing up, she said she was bullied during her childhood for being so statuesque. “Through posting, I learned self-love, self-acceptance and I wanted to try to show that being tall isn’t as bad as people make it out to be.” “I just want people to accept themselves for who they are and embrace their uniqueness,” she said.
