You're overestimating how long stuff is, 6'3 is not outrageously tall. A small barely reaches the top of my pants and if left untrimmed my armpit hairs would be creeping out of a short sleeve small. If I were to put on a size small it does NOT fit like the pictured model. Are they compensating for the fact that most guys add 2” to their height anyway? Are they super-shrinking the clothes beforehand?Īnd before the lurking internet haters jump on me, it’s not a case of me not knowing how my clothes should fit. Why would companies lie about how their clothes fit? By their indications I should be wearing a small or perhaps even shop in the children’s department. I typically go large for my more casual clothes for a relaxed, comfy fit and medium for a more fitted look, dress shirts or other things I might wear to the office. I’m 5’10” 165 and pretty much right between a M and L. If you read the product listing on almost any major clothing retailer (Banana Republic, Zara, Nordstrom, H+M, Urban, etc.) it’ll be like “Model is 6’3” 180 lbs wearing a size medium” Clothing Care, Tailoring, and Maintenance.Search posts by flair by clicking the below ✓! - WAYWT sorted by new (beginner friendly).Hair, Skincare, Fitness Questions go in Daily Questions ThreadĬlick on the thread titles to see the most recent one No Personal Attacks, Insults & Demeaning Commentsįollow Posting Requirements (click for more info) Non-discussion Questions go in Daily Questions Thread Introduction FAQs The MFA Wiki Getting Started: Basic Advice GuidesĪll Posts Must Give Advice or Inspiration We welcome those who want to learn and those who want to contribute.

Construction saw a large uptick among major industries, surging by 112,000. Layoffs and discharges also soared by 248,000 to 1.8 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report on Tuesday. Professional and business services as well as retail trade saw large declines from February to March. Transportation, warehousing, and utilities saw openings fall by 144,000 to 435,000 in March. Job openings dropped by 384,000 in March to 9.6 million. If those go poorly, this could be one of the last official reads we have on the labor market before the June Fed meeting."Īdditionally, job openings have recently been cooling. "We have these negotiations over the debt ceiling looming. "We've seen how the banking crisis has continued to be volatile, despite the perception that it may have temporarily been resolved," Terrazas added. "This was a strong report, but we shouldn't be naive to the risks that lie ahead," Aaron Terrazas, chief economist at Glassdoor, told Insider. With the average as of April at $33.36, that's 4.4% higher than a year ago. "So that would be less concerning about the growth outlook."Īverage hourly earnings also climbed from March to April, increasing by 16 cents. Bunker argued that instead of being a warning sign for future hiring, the downturn in temp work could be "more of a shift in hiring away from temporary services and towards more permanent employees depending on the industry," he said. However, he added he wonders "how much that signal will be useful these days" because of easing in hiring constraints. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. It appears that aside from solely inhibiting orgasm, the effects of the drug also cause for a constant increase in the level of pleasure which the recipient is exposed to. Her only focus is the need for climactic release. The subject had complied with the requests to not masturbate at all for the last 7 days this coupled with the drug has caused for her to now be completely oblivious to all verbal tasks, direct conversation and feedback now that the study is in its 3 rd hour. Due to her extreme reactions, I advise that the subject be restrained immediately following the study and monitored so that she does not cause any harm to herself through over-stimulation from intense masturbation. Test subject remains in a desperate need to climax following the administration of the DimensionStop drug.

Finally he’d be just where he’s always wanted to be… locked deep within her fantasies, the kind of fantasies that take hold and never let go. With every thrust into her hypersensitive sex, she’d feel intensity unlike ever before. When she did finally pass out, he’d then allow it to finally stop, to let her recover and regain herself for a moment before at last giving her what she came for, his own body. Every second the dildo slipped in and out of her hot, dripping wet entrance, he imagined his own length thrusting inside, watching it sink into her depths as she moaned for him. Restrained and made to endure the constant pulsating pleasure agonizingly coursing through her clitoris, which seemed to visibly plead with its angry red shade for it all to stop. He’d rather simply watch something he’d fantasised about for so long, to see such a beautiful creature be penetrated beyond her wildest dreams, to know that she will never forget this moment, the night when she was forced to orgasm until passing out. The machine will not stop fucking her until he turns it off, which he has no intention of doing for a while to come. Her tutor simply watches with intent, such admiration of her gorgeous frame constantly shuddering in the fury of orgasmic bliss. That swollen red button is so engorged that the vibrators seem to have trapped it, though they had been turned to just the right setting to prevent the vibrations from being strong enough to desensitize that little bud full of nerve endings. Every orgasm is a new level of torture, though with every shudder and jerk of her body that each climax causes, the vibrators are too tightly locked in place to relent in their torment of her overstimulated clitoris. When he had been setting the vibrators and the fucking machine in place earlier, she was too turned on to wonder just what he had in store, she hadn’t expected that his most well kept desire was one simple thing… to bring her to tears of pleasure. Nearly an hour later and she still screams of all the things she’ll do to his cock if he’ll just let her recover from the last orgasm, she says the same thing after every orgasm, it never seems to take very long for the next to come. So many times she’d masturbated to the thought of being tied and fucked intensely by this figure of authority. With this display of control and determination, this man seemed so much taller and masculine than she’d ever considered before, it turned her on immensely. Overwhelmed with excitement and anticipation, she asked no questions as he thrust her down on a bench and began fastening cuffs around those succulent thighs and helpless wrists. With little time wasted, she was stripped naked before he told her that he had a surprise in store, something that she’d never forget. Her legs nearly buckled with giddy joy when he took instant control of the situation, pulling her into the gym and kissing her passionately, groping her body and keenly exploring every inch as if he’d been waiting for this day for a lifetime. He’d promised to meet her later in the evening with the keys to the gym hall, somewhere to meet with complete privacy. To get the chance to be entirely alone after school with her tutor – someone she’d been longing for ever since they’d first met – was a dream come true, especially as it was clear to her that his intentions were not innocent. Though when she started to stay around longer after his lectures, he began to sense that she wanted more than just a little extra tuition. A gentle ebbing flame of lust, occasionally stoked by the prod of flirtatious behaviour. She had always been his most treasured student, always a fantasy of his tucked neatly away in the depths of his mind. It doesn’t need an expensive computer to work – I just bought two Nvidia Shield and dedicated one as a server – and cost a lot less than Audirvana and Roon.īut, music-wise, it’s definitely the worst option of the three. Audirvana Studio VS Plexįirst of all, I love Plex. Clearly, Audirvana was better, and you’ll immediately hear the difference. Most of my gear is Roon Ready and thanks to that, I could control every one of them, from the same computer.Įven though, if Roon supports Bit-perfect playback and DSP setup, I didn’t get the same feeling of wonder, musically. I took a free trial, just for the sake of this review, and honestly, nothing can touch Roon in this regard.Īlso, a feature missing in Audirvana that I loved on Roon was… multi-room playback. It’s simple, if you want the cleanest, nicest interface with rock-solid experience (with a good Core) and ultra-wide compatibility with your audio devices, get Roon. Sure, the subwoofer helped, but it would be unfair to undermine Audirvana’s effect on my setup. And if it was harder, the improvements remain clearly audible, especially in the lower section. Everything seemed sharper, better as if someone magnified every aspect of the track.įinally, I did some tests with my KEF LS50 Wireless, my desktop speakers, to check if I could spot the same enhancements, without my headphones. I chose R8Brain for oversampling, but didn’t use replay gain at any moment, and again, the dynamic range was vastly superior with Audirvana. This time, I put my own tracks to the test and I chose a few albums in Hi-Res, that I personally found well-arranged: Justice – Audio Video Disco, Eagles – Hotel California, and Daft Punk – Random Access Memories.Īgain, 10 out of 10, I could spot which was which, and this time the sound difference became much more obvious. Next, I did the same test with the xDuoo TA-30 and my mighty Audeze LCD-X. But, going back to Qobuz, or even Plex for my local files, really felt like a drawback. Going back and forth wasn’t easy, as exclusive audio access takes a few seconds each time to activate/deactivate. Bass hit deeper, highs are sharper and voices sound more natural. At the same exact volume settings, switching from Qobuz native player to Audirvana significantly improved the dynamic range. I picked a track that I listened to at least one time a day – More Than Just the Same from Infected Mushrooms – and did some back and forth between Qobuz and Qobuz + Audirvana.Īnd to my surprise, Audirvana came up as the clear winner here. Of course, the difference isn’t as obvious as if you were to replace your DAC for a better one, but head to head, on the same system, the player made a clear difference.įirst, I did a simple comparison with the Sennheiser HD800S + HDVD800. I’ve seen a lot of snake oil over the years, but this time, the hyper is real: Audirvana Studio really made a difference and I could hear it right from the start. So, did Audirvana really improve my system? Short answer, yes. All files were either streamed from Qobuz or my own library. Out of curiosity, I also tried Audirvana on my PC, connected to my KEF LS50 Wireless. My headphones? The Sennheiser HD-800S and Audeze LCD-X. For this review, I mostly used my MacBook Air paired to the Sennheiser HDVD820 and xDuoo TA-30. The stencils are for mainly for designing interfaces for iPad and iPhone apps.

The new chapter is set in the aftermath of the slave army’s defeat and will “depict a new tale of treachery, deceit, and blood unfolding beneath the foreboding shadow of Rome,” per the project’s description. Following Whitfield’s death in 2011, Liam McIntyre took over the role of Spartacus for the final two seasons, subtitled Vengeance and War of the Damned. The series - known for its hyperreal, violent action - starred Andy Whitfield as the title character, the Thracian gladiator who led a slave uprising against the Roman empire.Īfter Whitfield was diagnosed with stage four non-Hodgkin lymphoma following the first season, Starz filmed a prequel miniseries, Gods of the Arena, featuring some characters from the main series. Spartacus: Blood and Sand premiered in January 2010 on Starz and was a hit for the cabler, setting ratings marks that would stand for several years (eventually topped by the likes of Outlander and Power). Nearly all Rome: Total War and Medieval II: Total War mods have a presence at TWC. Lionsgate Plans Atlanta Production Hub With $200M Film Studio His early orientation toward literature and libertine sociability, however, shaped his philosophical identity in crucial ways. Before this date, Voltaire’s life in no way pointed him toward the philosophical destiny that he was later to assume. His work Lettres philosophiques, published in 1734 when he was forty years old, was the key turning point in this transformation. Voltaire only began to identify himself with philosophy and the philosophe identity during middle age. Voltaire’s Life: The Philosopher as Critic and Public Activist Second, a survey of Voltaire’s philosophical views is offered so as to attach the legacy of what Voltaire did with the intellectual viewpoints that his activities reinforced.ġ. First, a full account of Voltaire’s life is offered, not merely as background context for his philosophical work, but as an argument about the way that his particular career produced his particular contributions to European philosophy. To capture Voltaire’s unconventional place in the history of philosophy, this article will be structured in a particular way. In clarifying this new distinction between science and philosophy, and especially in fighting vigorously for it in public campaigns directed against the perceived enemies of fanaticism and superstition, Voltaire pointed modern philosophy down several paths that it subsequently followed. He was, however, a vigorous defender of a conception of natural science that served in his mind as the antidote to vain and fruitless philosophical investigation. He wrote as many plays, stories, and poems as patently philosophical tracts, and he in fact directed many of his critical writings against the philosophical pretensions of recognized philosophers such as Leibniz, Malebranche, and Descartes. Yet in other ways Voltaire was not a philosopher at all in the modern sense of the term. At the center of his work was a new conception of philosophy and the philosopher that in several crucial respects influenced the modern concept of each. François-Marie d’Arouet (1694–1778), better known by his pen name Voltaire, was a French writer and public activist who played a singular role in defining the eighteenth-century movement called the Enlightenment. I seldom found attack spells themselves to be too useful though, but I've never really tried to build a weapon that was totally focused on Intelligence stat. Whereas my initial clear was a kind of mess that relied on Raging Ache for later encounters, my more recent foray was much breezier: the in-game manual is pretty darn useful! I also found affinity to be the least influential factor even though I tried to balance out the six types across my three main weapons. My most recent complete playthrough was a couple years ago and, like OP, it was my first time perusing the in-game manual. I love this game too! The atmosphere, cutscene direction and mood and scope are all great. This last bit won't help you play Vagrant Story at all, but be aware that the in-game manual has fifteen pages dedicated to the mechanics of block puzzles.īonus Advice: Analyze adds the enemy's status read out to your status page in the menu, and that makes so little intuitive sense no one will ever figure it out on their own.The numbers in Vagrant Story have such minor effects that they really only count when you're pushing one into the stratosphere with gems. They don't matter nearly as much as you'd think they do. You know how weapons have the whole element page and the whole affinity page? Ignore them. Since Vagrant Story only has three stats, Strength pulls double duty for both attack power and physical defense. Degenerate is one of the first and most important spells you get. Other than that, I'm just making sure that I my weapon has a hilt with a gem slot so I can have Braveheart slotted in for the 20% accuracy boost at all times, and making sure my hilt's best damage type (edged/pierce/blunt) matches the damage type the blade deals.Against bosses, when my MP is full, I blast them with magic, because having a full MP bar is a waste when you can just generate more MP. Taking all of this stuff into account, my standard operating priorities have been this: Top off HP with Heal > top off MP with Gain MP > use Temper when HP and MP are full to maintain my weapon.You can very quickly get the Chain Ability "Gain MP," which can easily refill all of your MP in one combo. Similarly, wow attack spells are expensive! But it turns out MP is free.How big of an effective does this have? Typically, when I get to the Golem fight, I would deal 0 damage with melee attacks. This way, I can keep my weapon repaired while keeping its Phantom Points full. I've taken to always using Temper against regular enemies. You start with the Chain Ability "Temper" that restores a very small amount of DP.If you're dealing 0 damage to enemies, your weapon is probably broken. You can restore Durability Points (DP) for "free" at any workshop, but it reduces the weapon's PP an equal amount. Your weapon is half as effective when it's broken.If you run around with the weapon out, PP starts to drain, so sheathe your weapon when not in use. Speaking of, did you know that if a weapon has maxed out Phantom Points (PP), it's twice as strong? I also didn't know that! You get Phantom Points from attacking, so just keep using the same weapon, and it will eventually become much stronger.Hey! Did you know every single mechanic is explained in detail in the game manual you can access at any time in the menu? I didn't! I taught myself most of the quirks of Vagrant Story's myriad systems, but this entire time I could have just read what they all do!. Here's some stuff I've learned / have been doing this run. This time, I've been trying something different, and I'm basically wrecking every fight I come across effortlessly and it's wild. I have a preferred way I used to play the game, which is by picking an element (Wind is the fastest one, I think) and pumping that number as high as it can go to overwhelm enemy defenses. Vagrant Story is also super inscrutable because it has so many mechanics. I love the aesthetics, the localization, the music, the atmosphere, Sydney Losstarot's extreme low cut greaves, Ashley Riots poofy combat shorts with individual butt cheek windows, the whole thing. Vagrant Story is one of my favorite PS1 games, and I think about it at least once a month, probably.
