11/27/2023 0 Comments Asus rog x13![]() The laptop does support Dolby Atmos though, so it will work with compatible external speakers. However, it just doesn’t get loud, and the bass is lacking. They are clear, even at the highest volume. In our experience, the speakers were just okay. So I think ASUS made the right choice for the 2023 model.įor audio, the laptop is equipped with 2 Smart Amp speakers that claim to produce a louder sound than regular speakers. That high of a resolution felt overkill for a 13.4-inch display, and I much prefer having a QHD+/165Hz panel. Previously, there was an option for a 4K/60FPS panel. It is a little small for proper gaming sessions, but on the go, it’s good enough. With the maximum refresh rate of 165Hz, gaming on this display is amazing, except maybe its size. Colours are accurate, and the display gets pretty bright, especially for HDR content. The resolution is great at QHD+ and the extra vertical height is perfect for productivity applications. The display is also touch enabled and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass DXC.Īs expected, the display is fantastic. ![]() The panel is Pantone validated, supports Dolby Vision HDR and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 colour space. It has a refresh rate of 165Hz, a 3ms response time and resolution of 2560×1600. There is one display option this time around – a 13.4-inch, 16:10, QHD+ IPS panel which ASUS calls “ROG Nebula Display”. Altogether, the design and build quality of the Flow X13 is excellent. The top bezel also houses an IR camera beside the webcam, and it works well for Windows Hello facial recognition. Bezels look modern and since it’s a convertible, the power button moved to the right edge. The hinge tension is perfect, and the laptop can be opened with one finger. Just like before, the hinge can rotate 360°, allowing the device to be used in 4 positions – laptop, tablet, tent, stand. Branding is subtle throughout the exterior of the laptop, except for the ROG plaque on the lid, which is now triangular. The edges are squared off, but still comfortable to hold even in tablet mode. The chassis is made out of a Magnesium alloy while the lid is made out of Aluminium, resulting in a laptop that is rigid while being light. You still get the same sleek, stealthy design with characteristic elements like the wave-pattern on the lid and the 360 degree hinge. Does the laptop offer better value than its predecessors, or has ASUS lost its vision for the Flow X series? Read on in my review to find out.Īt first glance, the 2023 model of the Flow X13 looks similar to the 2021 model that we reviewed previously. ![]() The company was trying something new in the thin-and-light gaming laptop segment with its custom GPU enclosure called the XG Mobile, and it proved to be quite popular.ĪSUS has now launched the 2023 model of the Flow X13, updated with Ryzen 7000 series CPUs and NVIDIA RTX 40-series GPUs. About two years ago, we reviewed the ASUS ROG Flow X13 and we loved it. 11/27/2023 0 Comments Best spicy margarita recipe![]() This typically takes a couple days for the flavor to build.Īdd sliced jalapenos to a mason jar, fill with tequila, place a lid on and let sit either room temperature or in the refrigerator for 2 days. The second way is to infuse the tequila with jalapeno. Garnish with the remaining 2 jalapeño rounds. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into the glass. Fill the shaker with ice, seal, and shake until the outside of the shaker is very frosty, about 20 seconds. But you can de-seed the jalapeno by slicing it half lengthwise and removing the seeds. Place the lime juice, 2 of the jalapeño rounds, 2 ounces blanco tequila, and 1 ounce triple sec in a cocktail shaker. I left the seeds in because the jalapeno was not spicy. Fill the glasses with ice, pour the tequila jalapeño mix evenly between the two glasses. Rim the glass with a lime wedge and then dip the glass into the salt, twisting the glass to coat the rim generously with salt. Pour the sea salt on a bottom of a small plate. The way I have it shown here is by muddling the jalapeno slices in a mixing glass or shaker. Add tequila and agave and stir to combine. Add the top portion of the cocktail shaker to the shaker jar (the main piece that goes on top of the jar, and the smaller top to that piece). There are 2 different ways to make a skinny margarita spicy. Dip the rim of each glass into the salt, coating the entire rim. Love citrus? Try my recipe for a Paloma Cocktail, it combines fresh grapefruit juice with lime and tequila. We also use fresh lime juice which provides balance and acidity to the drink. Triple sec and orange liquor add more calories and sugar to a margarita. Tequila is the only spirit in this drink. This one is 180 calories per a margarita. Top with fresh lime juice.A skinny margarita has a lower amount of sugar and calories compared to a traditional margarita. Fill the glasses with ice, pour the tequila jalapeño mix evenly between the two glasses.(You could also use sugar if you want a sweeter margarita or to help balance out the spice.) Rim the glass generously with a lime wedge and then dip the glass into the salt, twisting the glass to coat the rim generously with salt. Pour the sea salt on a bottom of a small plate. ![]()

These little Santa are perfect for minimalists because they're jolly without being gaudy.ĭecorating for Christmas is our favorite tradition, so we are so excited that the most wonderful time of the year is here! Wishing you a very neutral Christmas, and maybe even a neutral New Year? We love the look of a simple belsnickle Santa atop a Christmas mantle. Not to mention, it has functioning warm Christmas lights, so it looks extra magical lit up on those cozy winter nights. If you're on the look out for an advent calendar that's even more minimal, this wooden white house advent is ideal! It makes such a fantastic statement while still maintaining a neutral aesthetic. (This neutral-toned tassel throw is a particular favorite!) Feliz navi-dog! Not to mention, your furry friends will love an array of holiday pillows, too. It's such a fun and unique Christmas decoration, and it fits in nicely with any neutral holiday home. This flocked dusty pink tree has the perfect amount of color and sparkle to spruce up any holiday bookshelf or mantle.Īnd if one pink Christmas tree isn't enough, create a whole forest of varying details and textures. Hello, neutral pink winter wonderland!Ĭounting down to Christmas has never looked cozier! Every home needs an advent calendar or two, and we adore this white embroidered advent pillow. Have we all finally accepted that muted pink is a neutral color? Okay good, because pink Christmas decor is our personal favorite. They’re also not as “in-your-face” as other indoor Christmas decor, so they’re easy to keep up and admire all winter long. Though they aren't completely neutral, they are the perfect addition to any rustic Christmas theme. And, it doesn’t hurt that they’re very on-trend with the comeback of mid-century modern home decor.Īs for mini holiday homes, we've fa-la-la-la-llen in love with these adorable hand-painted houses. This is another fabulous way to add more color to the mix. They come in various colors and look great just about anywhere in your home. Pining for a little more texture? You can never go wrong with a few bottle brush tree decorations. And, if you’re in the mood for a little more merriment, break out your outdoor Christmas decorations and drape those sparkly string lights above the fireplace. These stoneware trees are also a Christmas classic! Use them as a simple centerpiece for your holiday parties, or stagger them on the mantle above your Christmas stockings. Incorporating hints of traditional Christmas colors and accents is an excellent way to bring the holiday spirit without throwing off your home aesthetic. We also love the unique look of these tree-shaped candlestick holders. They're both just so cute, classic, and effortless! This wooden tree is a must-have for our neutral theme lovers, and it pairs beautifully with this flocked green one by its side. If we could only have one Christmas decoration for the rest of our lives, it would be a toss up between mini trees and mini houses. These boho accents were accompanied by a duo of hand-woven cone trees to add more variation to her bookshelf decor. She started by dressing her mantle with a beaded felt garland intertwined with some faux pampas grass. So, she decorated her living room shelves with neutral toned trees, soft white trimmings, vintage candle holders, and hints of evergreen. No need to put away your regular home and room decor! Just keep your color scheme in mind, and add a few complementary classic Christmas decorations or tree skirts to give your space a little holiday flair.įor example, our CMO Royale's home is very light and white with lots of warm wooden details. The key to a simplistic Christmas ambience is embellishing what you already have with a few festive accents. So, bring on all the winter whites and earthy accents, because we're sharing our neutral Christmas home decor essentials for those wanting to go a little more minimal this holiday season. But fear not, we'll always have a soft spot for the over-the-top and totally extra holiday decor (hello, do you know us?) However, there's a time and a place for all that, and we're well aware that not everyone wants to deck their halls with pink, glitz and glitter. 11/27/2023 0 Comments Montessori floor bed with rails ikea![]() ![]() It gives the children the independence to explore the room, while at the same it teaches them their own body sleeps.Įspecially if your little ones are fighting bedtime, a floor bed is a perfect opportunity to learn their own schedule and that the bed is something they can relax in and eventually rest. The floor bed is an extension of the idea that everything a child needs should be accessible and at their level. While Montessori bed is mostly known as an elaborate house bed as seen on Instagram, let me tell you that the concept is much simpler and unless you want to make it fancy, it doesn’t have to be expensive. Therefore, a child shouldn’t be restrained by being in the crib and rather sleep in a “big kid” bed. Everything must be within the child’s reach and at their level. Montessori philosophy says that everything in the room must be safe for the child to explore on their own, freely and independently. Children are not meant to explore on their own during toddler stage, and especially not during naptime or bedtime. Especially in the US where children are kept in cribs until they’re 3, ideally also with a sleep sack on them. We use clear gloss Ecos Paints Varnish. Ecos Paints Varnish is a non-toxic, water-based, eco-friencle, VOC-free formula that provides long-lasting protection without the harsh chemicals or odors found in conventional paints.For most modern parents the idea of a floor bed is somehow crazy.
11/27/2023 0 Comments Obsidian igneous rock![]() The jet-black types of obsidian are probable to generate abundant microscopic crystals of minerals such as magnet, hornblende, pyroxene, plagioclase, and biotites in combination with smaller pieces of rocken. Obsidian red or brown usually results in small crystals or hematite or limonite (iron oxide) inclusions. There are very few clear obsidian types, or microscopic mineral crystals. The various colors of obsidian are a result of several factors. Mexican colorful rainbow obsidian contains hedenbergite oriented nanorods which cause rainbow strewning effects via interference with thin films. The inclusion of magnetite nanoparticles, which create a thin-film interference, causes an iridescent, rainbow-like shine. These bubbles could generate exciting impacts like a golden blade (obsidian blade). Obsidian can include patterns of gas bubbles from the lava flow that align with layers created during molten rock before cooling. In some rocks, the incorporation of the mineral cristobalitis in the black glass of tiny, yellow, radially grouped rocks produces a blotchy (snowflaking) image. Very few obsidian specimens are almost colorless. The majority of black obsidians are magnetite-nanoinclusions, iron oxide. The jade could be light gray to black with iron and other transformation components. Pure obsidian is generally black, although the colour differs with the existence of impurity. In contrast, quartz (silicium dioxide crystallized) is of 7.0 hardness. Obsidian with a typical hardness of 5 to 5.5 is comparatively gentle on the level of mineral hardness. It is actually a congealed fluid with small quantities of microscopic and impure microscopy. As obsidian is not mineral crystals, it is not a real “stone” technically obsidian. It is like granite and rhyolite, which were also initially frozen, chemically. Obsidian consists of approximately 70% or more of the silicone (silicone dioxide) that has been uncristallised. Obsidian can be intrusive when felsic lava cools on the edges of a deck. Extensive obsidian formation can happen if felsic magma quickly recools on the corners of a volcanic dome or felsic lava stream, or if lava cools during abrupt water or wind touch. The obsidian is the rock created by fast-cooled lava, the material father. ![]() The instruments for slicing and piercing were previously used and were used as operative scalpel blades experimentally. Obsidian is difficult, fragile and amorphous and therefore has strong corners of fractures. ![]() The absence of crystal growth is explained by the inhibition of atomic diffusion by this high-viscous lava. The chemical composition is often discovered on the edges of rhyolitic lava flows recognized as obsidian flows. The chemicals (hodium silica content) produce a elevated viscosity that shapes a natural glass from lava when rapidly drying. Obsidian is created when the volcano’s felsic lava cools quickly with minimal crystal growth. If the water has many electrons (cations), it is less viscous, because the frame system of silica is broken by these cations. There are many bridges (chemical connections) between silica oxygen anions (SiO2), which is why it is so difficult to relocate this magma. Why does this matter? Since silica polymerizes magma. The thickest lava has the largest concentration of silica. The structure of most obsidians is rhyolitic. So obsidian forms from viscous magma only? Often yes, but not always. The crystals are very difficult to form if the magmatic body is thick and viscous, because they don’t have new material, when almost nothing can move inside the magma body. I gave a subtle indication of what might be the second issue. When viscous magma is removed from a volcano and cools quickly, there’s very little. Large crystals have to develop for a long moment. Most of it is not crystallized because the crystals had two difficult problems which restricted their growth. Volcano glass is an igneous rock made up of a magmatic content mainly uncrypted. You certainly do not use “volcanic glass” rather than “obsidian,” but be careful about it-volcanic glass isn’t always obsidian. The volcanic glass and obsidian are therefore not synonymous, although you can often freely use both terms. Underwater volcanic glass has alternative names such as tachyllite and hyaloclastic. Obsidian solidification (on earth) in most instances was subaerial. It is simply an unconditional piece of volcanic glass. Laying, slitting, leavening, phenocrysts, etc. This word is’ huge,’ but it does mean in geology that stone (obsidian is rocky, not a mineral) is homogeneous, though this is connected to geologies. Obsidian is a massive glass of volcanoes. 11/27/2023 0 Comments Blizzcon 2018 diablo immortalAnd with it being an exclusive title for mobile devices, many wonder about it’s price point and if there will be any form of microtransactions. There is no release date for Diablo: Immortal just yet but you can pre-register right now. Immortal is also a massively multiplayer game, placing a crazy amount of players onto your mobile screen. In just hours after the reveal, fans quickly pointed out the similarities to NetEase’s previous works, calling Immortal as a re-skin of NetEase’s Crusader of Light.ĭiablo: Immortal is set after the events of Diablo II: Lord of Destruction and will have five playable classes at launch: Crusader, Wizard, Monk, Demon Hunter, and Barbarian. ![]() I also wrote The Earthborn Trilogy.Blizzard states that Diablo: Immortal is built from the ground up and is being developed by NetEase, a Chinese company known for mobile titles. Maybe this is just an off year for Blizzard, but I think the company’s current problems run deeper than just a bad mobile game announcement.įollow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Read my new sci-fi thriller novel Herokiller, available now in print and online. Blizzard doesn’t have entries in any of those categories, even if Activision itself has a couple. But now, these days? The most popular games right now are single player story-driven games ( Red Dead, Spider-Man, God of War), PvE shooters ( Destiny, The Division, Anthem) and battle royale games ( Fortnite, PUBG, Blackout). This is a developer that aims to be number one in every genre it dips its toe in, and it has previously achieved that with MMOs, RTSes, CCGs, ARPGs and hero shooters with WoW, Starcraft/Warcraft, Hearthstone, Diablo and Overwatch respectively. In short, it feels like Blizzard is behind the curve, which is not a position it usually finds itself in. This is why a Diablo 4 announcement would have been so significant, a truly new title in a sea of mere updates, but that game feels like it’s years away, and reportedly has gone through some pretty major overhauls behind the scenes, including a number of director changes, which isn’t the most reassuring. It’s sort of in League of Legends maintenance mode, simply rotating in new characters and events, having “won” the hero shooter war against all comers, but now the rest of the industry has moved on to battle royale. And even Overwatch, what’s more or less Blizzard’s flagship title in the current era, does not generate nearly the hype it used to with new announcements. ![]() ![]() Hearthstone continues to be fine, but it’s a game I had to let go because it simply cost too much to keep playing. Heroes of the Storm was always playing catch-up to DOTA and League, and now MOBAs are mostly out of fashion. Starcraft might as well not exist anymore outside of its esports scene. I know all their games still have their devoted fans, but they do not feel all that relevant in the current cultural conversation with blockbuster new releases every few weeks. This BlizzCon reminded me that most of their offerings feel somewhat stale at this point, at least to me personally. I have a…somewhat general feeling of unease about Blizzard in general lately. Elsewhere, we had a new WoW patch, a new Overwatch character and new additions to Heroes of the Storm. The biggest announcement of the entire event was the Warcraft 3 remaster, a re-release of a 16 year old game. 11/25/2023 0 Comments Aura skin careMullans tells her patients to go a bit higher in the summer and use sunscreen with SPF 30. It also protects your skin against premature aging. The Skin Cancer Foundation says that daily use of SPF 15 can reduce a person’s risk of developing melanoma by 50 percent and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) by about 40 percent. We tend to spend more time outside when it’s warmer out, typically from June through September in the United States. It’s essential to apply sunscreen any time you are in the sun, including during the winter months. If you don’t do that, “your skin will age faster and increase your risk of skin cancer.” “The most important thing is that you need to protect your skin from the sun,” says Elizabeth Mullans, MD, a board certified dermatologist.
