![]() ![]() Instead of the reindeer, this one has taken inspiration from Santa Claus himself as it wears a Christmas hat. Much like the Crewmate with reindeer skin, this fellow Among Us Crewmate is high on Christmas spirit. You can assist the policeman with your coloring skills. On duty for the day, this Among Us Crewmate Policeman is quick on his feet and running towards the scene. There seems to be some report of a disturbance in the ship. Do you plan to wear special costumes for Christmas? You can decide on your new shopping list as you color this page. You can tell simply by looking at this Among Us Crewmate wearing a reindeer skin. Print this coloring page and fill each one with distinct colors.Ĭhristmas isn’t far. There are a policeman and even a Santa among them. Among Us Crewmate Wearing Different Hats:Īfter just a single one, here we have at least ten different Among Us Crewmate characters.Try to guess the profession of the Crewmate from the hat it is wearing while you color this page. You can tell from the feet that it is in walking mode. This illustration gives you a closer look at the Among Us Crewmate character. Print this colouring image and fill it with vibrant and colorful details. Filled with intricately designed lines and shapes, this coloring page is apt for adults. This illustration gives an artistic twist to the character of Among Us. You can see some of them standing, walking, and even a dead Crewmate in this illustration. But you can see what they are doing through their different postures and stances. The design of the Among Us Crewmates are specifically the same. You can figure out which caps are for whom, while you color this page. You can find different types of caps illustrated on this coloring page. There are different accessories available to dress up the characters. Here we have a meticulous Among Us Crewmate bidding us goodbye, in order to complete its task of giving us a tour. Each one reading up their list of tasks to do. ![]() Another interesting thing is here on this illustration – an Among Us UFO Cursor.Īmong Us Crewmates are working hard on this coloring page. We are getting to know several different things about the space world of Among Us. Look at that tiny Snowman perched on top of this Among Us character to symbolize that it’s an Among Us Snowman. Give this meticulous Among Us Security Guard some of your rewarding colors. Just like Among Us Police Officers, doing their best work providing security are the Among Us Security Guards. One has to be extremely vigilant and pay attention to the minute details to recognize and eliminate the Impostors before they sabotage everything. Representing the police task force of the Among Us Crewmates, here we have an Among Us Police Officer doing the regular check. On the way to perform vital systems maintenance is this Among Us Mini Crewmate. Whether a Crewmate is in the spaceship – The Skeld, Mira HQ headquarters building, or the Polus planet base, they are all assigned maintenance work which a player can play as minigames. It seems to be on the lookout for an opportune time to venture out and assimilate with the Crewmates before killing them. Among Us Impostor Looking Out The Vent:Īre you wondering where are all the Impostors? This illustration has skillfully revealed the Among Us Impostor hiding in the vent.However, like Ghosts, they are invisible to others except for each other. The legs of the characters get replaced with a flowy design to signify the Ghosts, who are able to pass through walls. Once dead, the Among Us characters become Ghosts. How do we know if an Among Us character has died? You will find the lower half of the character with a bone sticking out to symbolize the character has died. The ongoing game of hide and seek between the Crewmates and the Impostors result in eliminations or deaths. Just like how you can understand your lessons if your teachers instruct well. One of them seems to be instructing the other on how to perform their tasks. Two of the Among Us characters are interacting with each other here. Each Crewmate has several tasks they have to finish while still looking out for and eliminating any Impostors before they can claim victory at the end. What do we have here? It’s a small group of Among Us Crewmates waiting to get their task list for the day. Print this coloring page and fill it with encouraging colors. Completely focused and concentrating hard on the task at hand, here we have an Among Us Crewmate character trying to finish off the list of tasks. ![]()

You can adjust later in the month if you make more. If you’ve got an irregular income, take a look at what you’ve made the last few months and list the lowest amount as this month’s planned income budget line.If you’re married, list out all the income for both of you.Make sure you write in regular paychecks and anything extra, like that side hustle money.Here are some quick callouts when it comes to this first step: This is the proven plan to get ahead with your money-from saving more to paying off debt to building real wealth.ĭo you see the Planned column at the top of your Quick-Start Budget template?

You ready? (Yes, you are.)Ī budget template (or budget worksheet) is a great way to get everything on paper, right there in front of your eyes. There’s nothing like having clear directions to follow and step-by-step blanks to fill in to give you the confidence you need to get going on this budgeting journey. You know what can help? A budget template! Because a budget is a plan for your money-you tell it where to go, so you stop wondering where the heck it went.īut if you’ve never budgeted before, or it’s been a while, jumping in can be challenging. ![]() No matter what you want to do with your money, it starts with a budget. ![]() ![]() You can obviously choose between small, medium, and large. Take Widgetsmith’s time and date options alone. But it’s the manifold ways you can customize each of those widgets that will send you spiraling down the rabbit hole. (Know ahead of time that Weather and Tides require a subscription of $2 per month or $20 per year, and that features like Health and Photos require handing over potentially sensitive permissions to the app.) So far, so simple. If you install Widgetsmith, it’ll generate widgets across eight categories for you: Weather, Calendar, World Time, Reminders, Health, Astronomy, Tides, and Photos. (My Smart Stack included a pretty comprehensive, even redundant smörgåsbord of Weather, Calendar, Photos, Apple TV+, Google, and DuckDuckGo.) You can chose among three sizes again, and iOS 14 will plug in whatever widgets make the most sense for that time of day. To let Apple handle the selection process for you, go ahead and make your apps jiggle, hit the plus sign in the upper left corner, and tap Smart Stack. For that, the fix is to use a stack, which layers like-sized widgets on top of each other so you can swipe through them instead of each taking up its own space. You can change the location that the Weather and Clock apps pull from, for instance, but otherwise there’s not much worth mentioning yet.Īs you start to accumulate widgets, and displaced apps continue to domino to further screens, things may start to feel untidy again. It’s a mixed bag in terms of how many offer that option, and the ones that do have pretty limited utility. You can edit some widgets as well, by long-pressing them and tapping Edit Widget. ![]() Caution: The following contains prolific use of the word jiggle. ![]() Here’s a guide to whether widgets are right for you (probably) and how to get started with them (easily). No matter how you choose to widget, it’s a way to make your iPhone a little more useful at a glance, and a lot more customized to your specific needs. Combine them with the iOS Shortcuts feature, and you can even go full Infinity Wars. You can download third-party apps that open the door to TikTok virality. You can edit them, move them, and stack them to your heart’s content. Widgets are welcome anywhere, across a wide range of apps in a variety of sizes. On iOS, not so much, outside of a modest implementation in the iPhone and iPad’s “Today View,” the neglected territory you get to by swiping right from your home or lock screen. If you’ve ever had an Android phone, you’ve likely tinkered with widgets before. ![]() The addition of mighty widgets in iOS 14, though, lets you break out of that rut for the first time, well, ever. Your apps line up in tidy rows, you swipe until you remember which screen you put Disney+ on, repeat 80 times a day or so. But over decades of refinement, it’s also gotten a little boring. Your iPhone is capable, reliable, and sturdy-as long as you don’t drop it again on that one corner that keeps cracking. ![]() ![]() ![]() There were many highlights of Nifflas’ run, including how he (barely) managed to rob the Black Market (and the Ankh) despite the level being shrouded in darkness. I myself have managed to make it past the City of Gold, but I’ve never made it to the Hell world. First, you have to make it to the well-hidden City of Gold – a difficult task that itself relies on beating a very particular sequence of secret challenges. Actually, it’s a kind of secret within a secret. Hell is a secret world in the XBLA version of Spelunky. This leads us to Nifflas’ epic victory today. Like, why do bad things happen to good Spelunky players? And does Derek Yu even exist? Spelunky theology is tricky! ![]() The prayer has itself become a key part of our daily ritual – to the point where we feel like we’ve almost created a Spelunky religion/cult. (For example: “Derek Yu, please grant us plentiful bombs and protect us from dark levels. ![]() ![]() Jokingly, before each run, we make a little prayer to Derek Yu, the game’s creator. As my hero Hannah Arendt puts it: “The presence of others who see what we see and hear what we hear assures us of the reality of the world and ourselves.” After all, Spelunky is all about the stories you the player end up producing. Nerve-wracking, but invigorating! Third, and perhaps most importantly, I find that it’s far more rewarding to play the game with somebody spectating – a witness with whom to share your triumphs and tribulations. Second, the “stakes” of the game feel so much more real when you only get one shot. First, the tradition gives us something to look forward to every evening. This ritual has been deeply enjoyable for several reasons. On rare days we’ll indulge in a few practice runs, but it’s only the “official” run that really matters – at least to us! The other sits and watches, cheering along and providing advice. Every night, each of us gets one – and only one – Spelunky run. Of course, Nifflas has had to adjust to the new XBLA controls, so we’ve both been honing our skills.Ībout a month ago, Nifflas and I started a daily tradition – a ritual, if you will. Nifflas is very good at the original version, and so he’s been teaching me along the way. Over the course of this past summer, I gradually got sucked into the game. It’s the follow-up the widely acclaimed (and freely available) classic version. Spelunky is an addictive, procedurally generated platformer game for XBLA. Nifflas posing with his reward – a Yang avatar!īut I’m getting ahead of myself! First, some background: It was truly a run for the ages, full of daring feats of skill and a well-timed miracle or two. Today, my roommate Nicklas – the renown Swedish indie developer better known as Nifflas – beat the secret “Hell” world in Spelunky. Some of these posts have been linked from various places, and so we wanted to save them from the abyss.

Taste for seasoning and serve while hot.Mac and Cheese is pretty easy to make, right? Open the blue box, dump the noodles in boiling water, and mix the dry powder with milk and butter…. If the pasta and cooking broth/milk are not hot enough, you can press the Saute button to heat up the pot sightly. You can cover the Instant Pot with a lid for a couple of minutes to trap in the heat. Follow by adding grated cheeses and stir into the pasta until melted. Step 3.Stir in half a cup or a cup of hot milk.Most of the stock/water will be absorbed into the pasta but you might have a little left on the bottom. Do not leave on natural release as the pasta will keep cooking! Once the timer is done, use the quick release method to let off the remaining pressure (press the steam knob down or point to Venting on older models).After a few beeps/seconds, the ON sign will come on indicating the pot is heating up and the pressure is building pressurizing will take about 12 minutes and then the 4-minute timer will begin.Select Manual/Pressure Cook and adjust the timer to 4 minutes on HIGH pressure.

![]() ![]() However, after sufficient time has passed, the system reaches a uniform color, a state much easier to describe and explain.īoltzmann formulated a simple relationship between entropy and the number of possible microstates of a system, which is denoted by the symbol Ω. The postulate that the entropy be finite at any temperature implies that the pressure- and -dependent heat capacity becomes zero at absolute zero. The dye diffuses in a complicated manner, which is difficult to precisely predict. ![]() However, this description is relatively simple only when the system is in a state of equilibrium.Įquilibrium may be illustrated with a simple example of a drop of food coloring falling into a glass of water. Therefore, the system can be described as a whole by only a few macroscopic parameters, called the thermodynamic variables: the total energy E, volume V, pressure P, temperature T, and so forth. The ensemble of microstates comprises a statistical distribution of probability for each microstate, and the group of most probable configurations accounts for the macroscopic state. ![]() The large number of particles of the gas provides an infinite number of possible microstates for the sample, but collectively they exhibit a well-defined average of configuration, which is exhibited as the macrostate of the system, to which each individual microstate contribution is negligibly small. The collisions with the walls produce the macroscopic pressure of the gas, which illustrates the connection between microscopic and macroscopic phenomena.Ī microstate of the system is a description of the positions and momenta of all its particles. To obtain the absolute value of the entropy, we need the third law of thermodynamics, which states that S 0 at absolute zero for perfect crystals. At a microscopic level, the gas consists of a vast number of freely moving atoms or molecules, which randomly collide with one another and with the walls of the container. The easily measurable parameters volume, pressure, and temperature of the gas describe its macroscopic condition ( state). A useful illustration is the example of a sample of gas contained in a container. Ludwig Boltzmann defined entropy as a measure of the number of possible microscopic states ( microstates) of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium, consistent with its macroscopic thermodynamic properties, which constitute the macrostate of the system. Please read our Absolute Zero Feats in Fiction page to determine if showings are actually viable enough to be placed on a profile.Main article: Boltzmann's entropy formula Due to the nature of the ability working on the atomic level, it can be considered a form of Durability Negation, ignoring conventional defenses unless a character is shown to be able to resist such attacks. It seems like the 3rd law is really just saying that, as the temperature of a closed system goes to absolute zero, the entropy and energy must both approach minimum values. ![]() It is the ultimate form of freezing and in the theoretical situation that someone is exposed to it, their body will be frozen at the atomic level before collapsing under their own mass since the loss of energy causes the atoms to lose their cohesiveness. At absolute zero (zero kelvins) the system must be in a state with the minimum possible energy. Aquarius Camus, alongside other Aquarius Saints in Saint Seiya, are capable of manipulating ice and cold through their Cosmos, and reaching a temperature of - 273.15 Celsius through the Aurora Execution technique SummaryĪbsolute Zero is the point of cold at which enthalpy and entropy hit their minimum level. ![]() |
