![]() Travelling is like an instant mood/life/scene change so Gemmys queue up, year-round, to take a trip and see the world. If humanity ever reaches a Matrix-style scenario, where we’re all hooked up to some damned psychic/mind sharing machine… you can bet the first person plugging themselves in will be a curious Gemmy. They love to communicate and they HAVE to know. They have no problem spreading news around - surely that’s what everyone is doing anyway, right? Their moral compass can waiver when they’re tempted to tell everyone everything. And they are particularly turned ALL THE WAY on by salacious, scandalous and sexually-inflammatory gossip and intrigue. Mercury is a planet which is associated with speed, and Geminis think fast, eat fast, move fast, talk fast, “get” stuff fast, change their mind fast… So much so that they can even meet themselves coming back round the other way! This can make them seem erratic, even duplicitous, because they don’t stick to their opinions or commitments. The flip side of looking young and being so perky can mean they are also flaky, childish and silly at times. They are still into the latest trends long after everyone else has “settled down” (Geminis hate the idea of “settling down”, sounds dangerously like “dying” to them.) Happily for them, they tend to be the Peter Pan of the zodiac - both physically and mentally. To get an idea of the classic Gemini personality traits and types, we need only to look to some of the most famous twins (the star sign’s symbol): Kanye West, Kylie Minogue, Tupac, Marilyn Monroe, Angelina Jolie and Donald Trump (sorry) to name a few. You never quite know which Gemini is showing up, and there’s always one in the background taking notes, and keeping secrets. Notorious gossips! They are generally kind, but there is a slither of chilliness and detachment, created by their Air element and twin nature. ![]() Geminis like variety, keeping their options open, having lots of opportunities on the go, and being ~in the know~ about anything, everything, and everyone. All of this super-ness makes them fascinating to be around, albeit usually only for short spells because they can a) wear you out, b) get easily distracted elsewhere and before you know it, they’re off. Their main Gemini traits are being super-fast, super-smart, super-adaptable and super-curious people.

That’s around the same price and over double the size of a decent 65-inch TV, giving you something close to true movie theater immersion with a home theater projector. Better still, you can now get 4K HDR models that can project an image size up to 150-inches for as little as $1,000.

We looked at their projection size, the quality of their visuals, and how clear the images were in spaces that received plenty of ambient light.ĭepending on their size, weight, and performance, we classified them into projectors that were good for travel and ones that were better suited for office rooms. We considered their technical specifications, like their type of projection system, resolution, brightness, contrast ratio, connectivity options, size, and weight.

Much like the ViewSonic PLED-W800, though, the ML750e had us grumbling because you need to buy a dongle for Wi-Fi access. Not only is it port-rich with one MHL-ready HDMI input, a USB 2.0 slot for thumbdrives, a universal I/O slot, and a microSD card slot, but the ML550 handled our 90-inch test screen with impressive results, and peaked at a 60-inch-or-so size. The differences in size between this and the PicoPix are negligible for the power you get in return: a 700 Lumens lamp that lets you present in rooms that aren't completely darkened. It weighs in at an ultraportable 380g with a small footprint that makes this easy to carry around. The ML750e by Optoma may not be the smallest projector we're talking about here, but it's a lot more powerful than the pocket-sized PicoPix from Phillips. ![]() ![]() Guests come from all over the world, but most travellers are from the USA and Canada.

To be sure, only buy a case that specifically says that it is suitable for your iPad.The top products include docks, hubs, and more.Īs part of my iPad purchase, I picked up an Apple Pencil to help optimize my experience. With sleeves, there should be no problem, and some iPad Pro 2021 cases are also being advertised as suitable for the new iPads. The 2022 iPad Pros are very slightly thicker than their predecessors, which means they may need a dedicated case when it comes to products that have a very snug fit. However, despite the screen sizes being the same, there are some differences. The 2022 iPad Pro 12.9 6th generation and iPad Pro 11 4th generation come in the same sizes as the Pro 2021. Will an older iPad Pro case fit the iPad Pro 2022? Just be sure to check the specifications of each case or sleeve to ensure it fits your iPad Pro. With that said, if you simply want to protect your device from scratches and you aren't too fussed about looks, there are very affordable iPad Pro cases from JETech and ESR.

When it came to picking a first single, the decision was unanimous: Chop Suey!. “I was in my early 20s and there was a lot of experimentation of substances. “There were late, late hours,” says Daron of the sessions. The band and Rick Rubin worked on the album at Cello Studios, Hollywood. If the song’s meaning was slippery, there was no denying the power of its hymnal cornerstone lyric: ‘Trust in my self-righteous suicide.’ That was the line that unlocked the song, and also gave it its working title: ‘Suicide’. I was probably smoking weed or something…” ![]() For some reason, that thought was weird to me. “If someone died in a car accident, you’d say, ‘Oh, poor thing.’ But if they died in a car accident while they were drunk, that would change your whole perception of how they died, and judging his or her death a in a different way. “It occurred to me how we are judgmental towards people, even in death,” explains Daron. Precisely what ‘Why’d you leave the keys upon the table?/Here you go create another fable’ means is still up for grabs. Like many of System’s songs, the finished lyrics were vivid but opaque, designed to be shouted along to but not necessarily understood. While the initial version had a recognisable shape, Daron’s original lyrics were completely different: ‘Tell me/Tell me what you think about tomorrow/Is there gonna be a pain and sorrow/Tell me what you think about the people/Is there gonna be another sequel?’ System singer Serj Tankian would alter song’s opening, turning it into an memorable clarion call: ‘Wake up/Grab a brush and put a little make-up.’ Even at that early stage, it could only have been a System Of A Down song. It shifted from broken-glass riff to quasi-rapped mutant-funk verses to a simple two-line sunburst of a chorus. Where the songs from System’s first album were designed to set off depth- charges in moshpits everywhere, this new song was simultaneously more experimental and more melodic. It was one of a batch of ideas that the guitarist spent the best part of a year working on in private before he presented them to his bandmates and producer Rick Rubin as contenders for Toxicity. It didn’t tumble out fully formed, nor was it the only song he had flying around his head. ![]() I just started playing that acoustic guitar, and that’s when I started writing Chop Suey!.” “There was an acoustic guitar I used to take around with me. “I was just hanging out by myself on a bed at the back,” says Daron. Modern metal’s greatest song was born in the back of an RV travelling down some long- forgotten highway between stop-offs on the tour for System’s debut album. ![]() ![]() Sometimes the feature works quite well, especially if you have a microphone very close to your mouth. Many Bluetooth devices have similar functionality. For smartphones, including iPhone and Android, most headsets include a button that activates the standard software enabling voice dialing. Most options, both wired and wireless, offer some degree of voice recognition. But older, noisier ones can muffle the driver's voice, making for an irritating conversation. ![]() In newer, quieter cabs, the system works pretty well. The system has its benefits: hands-free auto answering, and sound piped in nice and loud through the truck's speakers. Peterbilt and Kenworth offer an in-dash navigation/infotainment system that offers hands-free Bluetooth capability it will be standard on trucks with premium interior trim packages. For instance, Western Star began offering them as an option in four truck models. However, OEMs are starting to offer them as an option. They'll run over $100 per unit at the low end. Cobra recently introduced an ultralight Bluetooth headset advertising 20 hours of talk time.Īn interesting third option is coming onto the market: Bluetooth-enabled radios built into the dash, available from companies such as Cobra and TRP Parts. Big names include Jawbone, Plantronics and Motorola. Many companies manufacture devices with Bluetooth capability, and it's wise to do some shopping around to find the right one for your company. It's important to note that Bluetooth is a technology standard (named, by the way, after a 10th century Danish king remember for his affinity for blueberries), not a manufacturer of devices. According to Schenk, these negatives lead many companies to prefer the lower-tech wired headsets. ![]() And if you're charging the device, reaching for it to take a call is defeating the point. The devices are chargeable, but real estate on the dash is limited in most trucks. Battery life varies between devices, but is usually 6-8 hours of talk time. In order to work, it always has to be on, and it might not last an entire 11-hour shift if your driver likes to yak. Multiply that by several hundred drivers at a large carrier and fleet managers might wince. "A nice Bluetooth headset with noise reduction is about $50," said Christian Schenk, vice president, product marketing with Xata. Also, Bluetooth is compatible with virtually all phones, save the odd throwback brick still in use by the technically challenged.īut although these devices may seem attractive, there are some serious drawbacks, cost being first. Worn on the ear, the small sets offer similar push-button answering, and can be set up for more convenient auto-answer. Wireless headsets, mostly Bluetooth, will likely be more attractive to drivers. Fumbling to get tiny earbuds into to your ears is clearly a distraction from the road. It may irritate some users, and in order to be compliant, drivers will have to wear the device continuously. The main drawback, obviously, is the wire. Most devices are similar to this layout, although some simpler headsets lack an on-wire button and require the user to touch the phone to answer. When getting an incoming call, the user needs only to press the middle button to answer, then press again to hang up. The familiar white earbuds come equipped with a small three-button switch along the wire. Often the standard headset that comes with the device will keep drivers compliant.įor example, the standard headset for the iPhone works very well for hands-free communication. The most basic option for going hands-free is a wired headset plugged into the cell phone. And in a world where an estimated 70% of drivers are already equipped with mobile devices (45% of them smartphones), expenses will mostly come down to buying accessories as opposed to brand new phones and other primary equipment. The good news is the market is already rife with off-the-shelf, hands-free solutions, and a few companies are offering truck-specific solutions. Although it is likely that the final publication will get pushed back, the ban on handhelds is coming, and carriers should get prepared for compliance. The regulation is currently winding its way through the rulemaking process, with a scheduled publication date in mid-October. ![]() Carriers that allow their drivers to use hands-on devices would be subject to an $11,000 fine. The proposed rule includes penalties of $2,750 for each violation and disqualification of their commercial driver's license for repeat offenders. Last December, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration introduced a proposed rulemaking that would prohibit commercial drivers from reaching for, holding or dialing a cell phone while operating a commercial vehicle. ![]() ![]() These barrels were called “butts.” Since the practice was common in New England, pork shoulder was dubbed “Boston butt.” The official explanation is that this cut of meat was often packed and distributed in barrels during colonial times. For that reason, it’s often confused with the cut known as pork shoulder, which is located a bit farther down the foreleg.Īs for the “Boston” moniker, experts are divided about where it came from. About Pork Buttĭespite the misleading name, pork butt is a fatty cut that’s taken from the shoulder of the pig. In any case, 200 degrees is a good rule of thumb to follow.
