Mainly, though, it's the ideas which make this shine. Mention must also be made of the blunt, persuasive presence of Bruno Lawrence, bringing to life a character who could easily have been badly mishandled. Some of the performances might perhaps have been a little more fluid but Alexis Arquette (as the titular Jack) and especially Sarah Smuts-Kennedy as Dora are exceptionally honest in their portrayals of a damaged brother and sister. The dialogue is unpretty (sometimes even crude), but direct and often powerful - in many ways watching this was like discovering an unknown early Cronenberg flick, but in place of Cronenberg's cool intellectualism Garth Maxwell has crafted a highly emotional film which isn't afraid to take its viewers into uncomfortable territory. The characters are sharply defined and individual, yet at the same time convincingly complex. There is violence and death, disturbing rather than gory, and an insidious tension which builds slowly and isn't allowed to dissipate until the very end. The plot is straightforward but intelligently thought through and far from simple, resting on the characters and the tragic events in which they're embroiled. The film looks great, using the natural beauty of NZ alongside impressive cityscapes, but also showing us the very ordinary and (of course) the dark and ugly side of both the rural and urban environments. It has everything a quality horror movie needs, including the elements which big-budget and "typical American" horror all too often lack. This low-budget horror film from New Zealand is, for me, a textbook example of why I love the genre. A weird little gem of a film - not for everyone, but definitely worth catching at least once. There is little violence, but that which is shown is brutal and merciless, especially the shocker ending. The storyline may be somewhat thin, but the emotions of the characters are plenty strong enough to fill in the gaps. Sarah Smuts-Kennedy is equally awesome as the conflicted Dora. ![]() Alexis Arquette is frightening and sympathetic, turning in an incredibly harrowing performance as the scarred Jack and doing a great accent to boot. The performances are awesome, especially by the two leads. This is both a horror movie, a grim fairy tale and a tense emotional drama, sometimes difficult to watch but always just intense enough to keep you from looking away. When Jack is indeed kidnapped by the freaky foursome, it is up to Dora to find him and save him. To make matters worse, the four creepy sisters show up, determined to find Jack and take their revenge upon him. The increasingly emotionally distraught Dora tries desperately to hold onto her life and those she loves. Jack is seriously emotionally disturbed, lashing out at everyone that his sister loves and violently confronting their natural parents once the two are able to track them down. Dora, with the help of her abilities, is able to find Jack and bring him back with her. With the help of a weird, shop-class constructed hypnosis machine, Jack kills his adopted parents and flees the farm. Jack, beaten and tormented every day, grows up hostile and explosive. Dora, an introvert with psychic abilities, leads a mostly normal life, though it's a mostly friendless one. Dora is taken in by a caring well-to-do couple while Jack is sent to live with a country family, consisting of a cruel mother, an abusive father and their four creepy daughters.

UNetbootin has built-in support for automatically downloading and loading the following distributions, though installing other distributions is also supported: If you used the "Hard Disk" install mode: After rebooting, select the UNetbootin entry from the Windows Boot Menu. On PCs, this usually involves pressing a button such as Esc or F12 immediately after you turn on your computer, while on Macs, you should hold the Option key before OSX boots. If you used the "USB Drive" install mode: After rebooting, boot from the USB drive. If your USB drive doesn't show up, reformat it as FAT32.

In English, a piece of eight remains as part of Caribbean piracy lore. Spain stopped using reales in 1868, when it replaced them with the peseta, until that was replaced by the euro in 2002. Language changes slower than currency.Īs for Spanish, the only meaning of bit is another meaning for that word in English, a BInary digiT used in computer sciences. When the United States became an independent country, it started making its own silver dollars and smaller coins, including quarter-dollars, and the terminology for bits as eighths hung on for a couple of centuries. The one-eighth dollar coins became known as “bits” or parts of a dollar. The real coin had been circulating in Spain since medieval times, and because of the rich silver mines in Spanish colonies in Mexico and South America, during colonial times reales and Spanish dollars became common currency throughout the world. ![]() ![]() How did this linguistic oddity come to pass?īack when the United States were British colonies, due to a coin shortage, the colonies tended to use a Spanish coin called a dollar, also known as a piece of eight because it was worth eight reales. You may even know that in the United States, two bits is twenty-five cents, a quarter-dollar, so you might think that one bit is one-eight of a dollar. You may know the American English-language expression two bits from the musical/rhythmic riff, “shave and a haircut, two bits” or from the meaning of two-bit as something cheap or trivial. You should let your local care team know you tested positive for COVID-19 using an at-home antigen test. QUESTION: Should I let my local health care team know I tested positive for COVID-19?ĪNSWER: Yes. QUESTION: Do I need to have another COVID-19 test before I return to work or regular activity following the five days of isolation?ĪNSWER: You may need to have a negative COVID-19 test result, either by a PCR or at-home antigen test, before you can return to work or school, depending on specific requirements for the organization and where you live. QUESTION: How long do I need to stay in isolation if I test positive for COVID-19 using an at-home antigen test?ĪNSWER: Generally, if you are positive for COVID-19 by either the antigen or PCR test, you will need to be in isolation for a minimum of five days from the onset of your symptoms and/or a positive test for COVID-19. ![]() The antigen test may have missed an early infection. You also should stay home and isolate until you get the PCR test results back. If you use an at-home test that comes back negative and have symptoms that persist or get worse, it's a good idea to get a lab-based PCR test for COVID-19 and influenza. A negative at-home test is not a free pass if the person taking the test has symptoms. Sometimes an at-home COVID-19 antigen test can have a false-negative result. QUESTION: Can I trust the results of an at-home antigen test?ĪNSWER: If you have symptoms of COVID-19, take an at-home antigen test and it is positive, you likely have COVID-19 and should isolate at home according to CDC guidelines. If you take an at-home COVID-19 antigen test and your results indicate you are positive for COVID-19, Mayo Clinic answers some common questions to help determine your next steps: Next steps after testing positive with an at-home antigen test If you do not have symptoms of COVID-19 and do not have known exposure to a person infected with COVID-19, you do not need to quarantine. Symptoms may include fever, chills, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, headache, cough, and loss of smell and taste. If you test negative for COVID-19 using a PCR test, you are likely not infected, provided you do not have any symptoms. Check with your employer, school district or public health department to determine if this is needed.

![]() I am used to the GitHub environment because that’s all I’ve always worked with but I saw this as a challenge to adapt to a new environment. I began making research on how to use them both and then my boss gave me a useful resource that helped a lot, see link below: I was ready to move to Gitlab but I wasn’t ready to leave GitHub Desktop, so I decided to use Gitlab and GitHub Desktop. It helped a lot but it was missing one vital step which was how to use GitHub Desktop with a Gitlab Repo that has 2FA(two-factor authentication) enabled. So let’s revisit the steps from scratch then I’ll put in the vital step.ĭisclaimer: These steps are valid for only users of the GitHub Desktop Native #Github desktop vs sourcetree vs gitkraken how to open GitHub Desktop from the file bar, select clone repository Head over to your repository and select https and copy the link, Copy your new access token and store it somewhere as we’ll use it later: What we’ll do now is to generate an access token for our GitHub desktop.

N/B: Your username is mostly your email address or whatever username you used to access your gitlab organization or repo. #Github desktop vs sourcetree vs gitkraken windows.#Github desktop vs sourcetree vs gitkraken how to. ![]() Look, there are a lot of friendly people on the forums who have answered these kinds of questions repeatedly over the years and I occasionally jump in and answer a few myself, but this stuff is complicated and you won’t get all of your answers by asking common questions, as they have been asked before and documentation has been written. You need the right set for each one.įBA ROMs are just like MAME ROMS, but again, the sets differ. You cannot just use any rom and expect it to work in every emulator. Each emulator supports a specific rom set version, and while some individual titles may not change from set set, many do. The runcommand feature in RetroPie let’s you specify which emulator you run in a given system group, but the ROMs have to match. I am afraid you have a lot more reading to do. If so, lr-fbalpha is the obvious first choice and why it is the default. The standalone PiFBA for example is one that does not use retroarch, so you will need to learn more about retroarch to decide if you want those features. ![]() This is why we have different ones available. Only games that these cannot play would have me looking to newer versions of MAME, but off the top of my head, I cannot think of you will need to read about the differences and decide for yourself which best suits your needs. NeoGEO games I would run using FBA (the libretro version) and the rest are on 2003 for me. For example, anything with complex inputs, or until recently, vector displays, I would run these with AdvanceMAME. Many of us use the RUNCOMMAND feature of RetroPie and end up with a combination of multiple versions of MAME to run our games. It is not MAME, but it has an ever-expanding romset that is beginning to rival 2003 in terms of features and game lists, so check that out too because performance is very good. You did not mention it, but by all means, do not ignore FBA. If you like the zfast CRT shaders and plan to run everything through handheld gamepads, RetroArch is your ticket, and MAME2003+ may be the best option. If, for example, you were building a three-trackball Rampart arcade cabinet, you are probably going to need AdvanceMAME to run it. No other MAME emulator on the Pi can match the input matrix flexibility of AdvanceMAME. If you want the most input capabilities and a slightly newer romset, I would recommend AdvanceMAME 3.x. If you want the most features and the most playability out of MAME on the Pi right now, you are looking at 2003 or 2003+. The feature updates on 2003+ are being replicated into 2003, so the real difference between them will be the additional games that are being back ported. It is fair to argue that the sweet spot on the Pi is lr-mame2003, with 2003+ adding some additional back ported games and features. Most of us are willing to sacrifice the nuances of emulation accuracy in favor of game playability, so it really boils down to performance vs. ![]() This means you end up needing to strike a balance between performance and emulation accuracy, or performance and rom coverage. The rule of thumb is usually that the newer the MAME, the higher the romset, but this requires a lot more computing power, so the LESS the performance. ![]() If you check the docs you quickly learn that there are many versions that span a pretty wide range of rom sets. Good question, and you are well on your way to finding your own answer with what you have already learned. |
