![]() My Inland Empire skill, which allows him to see through the veneer of the world and into the sepulchral spaces beyond mortal knowledge, kicked in. I directed him to reach out and touch it. Contrary to everyone else, including his partner, he held out for belief. Against all of the evidence presented to him, my detective believed in the cryptid, and it paid off. It appeared, lithe and leaking some kind of psychic fluid, and it waxed and waned, almost threatening to disappear and disprove itself somehow. So at the end of the game, when the player gets a weird feeling about the rushes surrounding an ailing assassin central to the main plot, it’s revealed that this cryptozoological stick bug is real. The infection that is consensus reality has crept in and robbed her of this impossible thing that happened to her. Now, years later, the pair hunt for it again, but late in life she worries that it was never really true to begin with. When they met, it made him fall in love with her. Their relationship is founded on an encounter that one of the pair claimed to have as a child: once, vaguely, this thing reared up out of the reeds in front of her, mysteriously wavering in and out of existence before receding. Two elderly cryptid hunters put the protagonist on the case to find something that lives in the reeds around Martinaise. As Breault writes, the end of the game returns its characters to “a status quo too boring to depict.”īut I’ve been thinking about the cryptid.Īmidst all the excitement of discovery and mystery, the game wraps its ending of ideological change and national struggle and personal discovery around a semi-mythical creature. When life returns to normal, the reader doesn’t have an incentive to stick around. Philosophers Deleuze & Guattari said that the novella was organized not around the question of “what will happen?” but instead “what happened?” As soon as you can figure out the world, as soon as the mystery that kicked us off is solved, then life returns to normal. It’s a game that takes place in the middle of a big world and many lives, and it functions similarly to a novella. Your strange detective roams a small section of the world and then, at the end of things, probably continues on with their life in some capacity. ![]() Chris Breault has done a great job at outlining the stories that Disco Elysium tells and discussing them in terms of what lasts about them and what doesn’t.

This would be deadly enough, but the Templar can also use Bloodbath with equal ferocity to any Warrior. Not only that, but Impale draws foes to them and throws vicious ethereal spikes at all those who are foolish enough to come near. This is not the case, as with Vindicate the Templar charges the shield with a magical energy and slams it directly into their enemies. Some would say that the Templar gives up some damage dealing by carrying a shield. A few points could be put into Sorcery so that the Templar can heal their allies more effectively.

What are the potential benefits of ingesting chlorophyll? On top of that, chlorophyll supplements are not regulated by the FDA so there is no guarantee of how much chlorophyll you’re getting in beverages, powders, or capsules-or how safe they are, says Liana Lianov, M.D., a member of the American College of Preventive Medicine and vice-chair of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine Core Competencies medical education program. Research on chlorophyll in humans is very limited and research with rodents has had mixed results, so it’s really a gray area. Connor says that the study that showed that consuming chlorophyll may help curb hunger researched the consumption of natural chlorophyll in the form of thylakoids in their study-not sodium copper chlorophyllin-which means that sadly the stuff you get from your grocer may not fit the bill.Īnd as for those cancer-trapping hopes, there’s more bad news. Another study suggests that the derivative chlorophyllin in pill form can trap cancer-causing particles in the gut. One small study found that when a powdered form of chlorophyll was mixed into meals, it curbed hunger in overweight women. ![]() So what does chlorophyll do for your body? This means that any health benefits indicated by research done about natural chlorophyll shouldn’t automatically be assumed to be related to the semisynthetic sodium copper chlorophyllin you’re consuming via chlorophyll water. “Because chlorophyll is relatively unstable, most chlorophyll products like chlorophyll water actually contain a semi-synthetic mixture of sodium copper salts derived from chlorophyll called sodium copper chlorophyllin (SCC) or chlorophyllin copper complex.” “It’s important to understand that the chlorophyll water you’re buying at the store probably doesn’t even contain natural chlorophyll,” she says. Unfortunately, Brynna Connor, M.D., healthcare ambassador at says that your store-bought chlorophyll water may not be the real deal. Chlorophyll “water” is usually just purified water that’s fortified with a mix of vitamins and other nutrients, including chlorophyll. Today, tons of companies sell chlorophyll in the form of supplements, drops, or beverages for humans to ingest-all in the name of wellness. ![]() Play icon The triangle icon that indicates to playįirst, let’s take a step back to science class: In case you forgot, chlorophyll is a green pigment in plants that absorbs light to create food for the plant that it’s a part of. ![]() PHP admittedly has a bad reputation with some developers because of scaling and performance issues with past versions. It’s one of the more reliable tools for web development. WordPress powers nearly a third of all published sites and is the fastest growing CMS available, so PHP can be found in most corners of the internet.Ĩ0% of web uses PHP. While the average customer doesn’t need to know PHP to set up a site, anyone who makes WordPress themes or plugins needs at least a basic understanding of the language. It’s written using PHP as the scripting language. PHP does edge Python out as far as performance for web development purposes, though.Ĭurrent users of PHP include Joomla, Wikipedia, Yahoo!, Tumblr, and Slack.įacebook liked it so much that, instead of migrating away as they grew, they created a custom PHP-derived language called Hack to let them continue using it at scale.įacebook might be the largest single company that features PHP, but WordPress is a major driver of its continued usage. It’s better for graphics, engineering, and science. Python has cleaner syntax and is overall more secure than PHP. PHP is a scripting language mainly meant for web development while Python is powerful general programming language with many other uses. However, the two have different scales and purposes. Both are mature, open-source languages with large communities. PHP is often compared to Java, but a better comparison is Python. Scaling and maintaining PHP is a complicated endeavor.Ĭontext matters a great deal in dynamically typed languages, so tracking down errors gets harder the larger an application grows.Įxperienced PHP developers can mitigate this problem y planning for scalability, but there’s only so much they can do to reduce maintenance issues down the road. ![]() Still, it executes more slowly than compiled languages. The changes didn’t affect the learning curve or existing applications much while improving performance. PHP 7 increased performance over previous versions by a significant amount while maintaining most language compatibility. PHP is an interpreted language, which can reduce speed. This is mostly due to updates that add features that clash with earlier features. There are lots of internal consistencies, especially surrounding references and values. Some of these mistakes lead to security risks.Īs a mature tool PHP has some legacy baggage. With no strict rules, inexperienced programmers have the freedom to create some very bad solutions to simple problems.īad packages that got popular in the community are still reused when developers are trying something new or rushed for time. It can be a little too forgiving of errors. PHP’s main strength - flexibility - is also its weakness. It operates at a request level with a full state reset for each request, so programmers have a more streamlined development experience. Programmer productivity stays high with PHP. One side benefit of its popularity is that finding skilled developers is easy. As such it’s likely to stay more current than other mature tools. PHP is well-maintained and supported by a huge community. ![]() It integrates with all the popular databases including MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, and MS SQL Server. ![]() PHP can handle a wide range of data types. The tool’s flexibility goes beyond ease of use, too. There are no rules on how to build features, so developers have plenty of room for innovation. Since PHP is a dynamically typed language, it’s also highly flexible. Anyone who knows HTML can quickly pick it up, and the two can be used interchangeably.

The attackers offer victims a way to verify that encrypted files can be decrypted by sending them a small file to one of the email addresses specified in the ‘_readme.txt’ file. The ransom demand is typically $980, but if the victim pays within 72 hours, then the ransom amount is halved to $490. That is, criminals demand a ransom for unlocking the victim’s files. ![]() The file contains a message from the Bhui authors, informing the victim that all their files are encrypted and the only way to decrypt them is to purchase a key and a decryptor from the authors of the Bhui ransomware.

All other files located on the victim’s computer can be encrypted, including popular file types such as. sys, and files with the name ‘_readme.txt’. It skips files located in the Windows system directories, files with the extension. Bhui has the ability to encrypt files on all drives connected to the computer, including internal hard drives, flash USB disks, network storage, and more. The virus attempts to encrypt as many files as possible, encrypting only the first 154kb of the contents of each file to speed up the encryption process. The Bhui ransomware encrypts files using a strong encryption algorithm and a key (‘offline key’ or ‘online key’, as described above). If the virus cannot establish a connection with its command server, it uses a fixed key (the so-called ‘offline key’). If the connection has been established, it sends information about the infected computer to the server and, in response, receives the encryption key (the so-called ‘online key’) and additional commands and malware that must be executed on the victim’s computer. The virus then collects information about the victim’s computer and tries to establish a connection with its command server (C&C).

Diamond powder – This is the hardest bit coating, creating an abrasive bit rather than a cutting bit.Titanium carbon nitride (TiCN) – Like TiAIN, can extend the drill bit’s life up to five times.Titanium aluminum nitride (TiAIN) – Is considered superior to TiN, with the ability to extend a drill bit’s life up to five times.When used to coat a high-speed steel bit, it prolongs the life by two or three times. Titanium nitride (TiN) – A hard ceramic material.This provides for heat resistance, lubricity, and corrosion resistance. Black oxide – The least expensive of coatings.These drill bits cannot be sharpened as the process of sharpening will remove the coating on the sharpened cutting edge: In addition to the materials that the drill bit is made of, many manufacturers coat their drill bits with various materials, providing reduced friction or wear. These are the hardest bits, able to cut anything but they are very expensive, generally used only in industry, where taking the time to replace a drill bit might delay a production line. Polycrystalline diamond – This is a man-made diamond, sintered to carbide support.Since it is expensive and very brittle, it is normally just welded to the tip of the drill bit, creating the cutting edge. Tungsten carbide (typically called just carbide) is an extremely hard material that can cut in just about anything.This allows them to withstand temperatures up to 1000 degrees. Cobalt steel alloys – These are variations on high-speed steel that contain more cobalt.It’s much more resistant to heat than high carbon steel. High-speed steel – This is a special steel alloy, formulated for drill bits and other cutting tools.If overheated, they will lose their temper immediately and become dull. High carbon steel – These can be honed sharper and hold an edge much longer than low carbon.Low carbon steel – Although fine for working in wood and plastic, it won’t hold an edge long for metal.This is specifically dealing with drill bits that are used to cut metals. Manufacturers have experimented with materials, in order to create drill bits that will last longer. If you don’t have an actual cutting oil, any light mineral oil will work. ![]()
