Dwarf fortress miasma from fish12/30/2023 Oh, and dumping seems higher priority than general refuse hauling. Either settings for hauling refuse or a refuse stockpile setup are not correct, or there's an access issue (burrow, bridge/locked door blocking access), or simply not enough dwarves available to do a long hauling job. The corpse hauling issue mentioned in comments above is a related issue. The second is my first choice if practical, but the third isn't terrible if you're on top of the hauling situation. (Not perfect since the door gets opened and things can block it.Ģ) put them in the top soil layer or topside in a building with a roof (for protection) so they don't generate ANY miasma since this counts as outside.ģ) enclose them with diagonal entries since miasma won't move through diagonals. Mitigations to avoid miasma spreading include:ġ) enclose butcher/kitchen/still completely and use a door for access. I keep those as close as sensible to these workshops too so the hauling trip is very quick. Set them to a refuse stockpile (or more, if you segregate refuse types) and meals/cooking materials stockpiles. Stockpile links outbound from the kitchen and butcher help a lot (but overwork is still an issue). Either your dwarves are overworked (hauling is low priority for dwarves with other work choices) or you have something set wrong somewhere. I'm just using the "hole" method for roleplaying reasons. ![]() When working, you should see an accumulation of Dumped items that is forbidden and all stacked in the same tile space.įor those using a flat area for Dump Zones, I dunno. The same may be true for Ramp style Dump Zones. If you have a Dump Zone and it's not functioning and the intent was for them to dump the stuff in a hole you created, then make one tile cover the hole and another provide a spot for the Dorf to stand on while flinging stuff into the hole. (The common use is to create a sort of infinitely large stockpile on one tile.) ![]() For one, a Dorf must have a tile in the Dump Zone to stand on while Dumping IF that Dump Zone uses a "hole." For a Ramp. The Dump Zone that's detailed in so many tutorials as being a one-tile zone is a bit misleading. The only miasma I've had is from an occasional dumped meal in a room.ĭo you have a Dump Zone? Not a Refuse Stockpile, but a Zone that is a Dump Zone? Is it working? Is there stuffs in your Dump Zone? And, how did you set it up? Something is bugged with refuse hauling I think. Originally posted by jesup:Recurring problem with prepared meals and meat rotting in the workshops. And I'm thinking maybe it might be preventing dwarves from hauling refuse outside of the burrow zone, even when it's turned off. They never obey it anyway even when it's turned on. I think I'm going to delete the burrow I created in a futile attempt to keep my children inside. ![]() And the several severely wounded dogs that I can't give medical care to. Next to the corpses of all the puppies they killed. The three outside aren't getting hauled to it either - they're just sitting and decomposing on top of my nest boxes. There's plenty of room in the outside corpse stockpile, but it's not getting hauled there. And no one is hauling it, and it's starting to rot. My squads killed it right on the main stairwell. I killed three of them in the animal zone at the surface, but a fourth one made it inside and halfway down my base. (My very first siege ever playing this game!) They flew over my wall and killed and maimed a bunch of my dogs and chickens. Some flying goblin creature things came in a siege. I'm thinking I may have to do the same thing with enemy corpses. That at least was effective as a place to store the bones I get from butchering hunted animals. I ended up creating a separate "bone zone" in a room behind a door, next to the general stockpile. ![]() I use a lot of bones for crafting, which kept getting dumped in the general stockpile even after I forbade all corpses and refuse from it.

Best presentation clicker mac12/30/2023 ![]() ![]() I was just about to go hunting on auction sites and in second-hand game shops, when a friend reached out via Twitter who was willing to graciously swap his old Wiimote for my latest version. My Wii Remote Plus registered as the latter device code, so it looked like I’d just purchased a Wii Remote-shaped paperweight since I did not even have a Wii console to use it with. Reading it, I came to the understanding that standard (earlier-model) Wii Remotes and the first batch of released Wii Remote Pluses (both known by their device code RVL-CNT-01), seemed to have different (and incompatible) Bluetooth connection drivers to later batches of Wii Remote Pluses (device code RVL-CNT-01-TR). Searching the web led me to the site for the Dolphin Emulator, an emulator for the Gamecube and Wii on PC hardware, which has a Wii Remote Plus connection guide. That assumption was completely incorrect, and the Wiimote was promptly ignored by Mac OS when I tried to connect it. I assumed that since the Wii Remote Plus was a superior model to the original Wii Remote, once I got Remote Buddy working, connecting via Bluetooth would be plug ‘n’ play smooth. Since the connection and configuration of a Wiimote is not a native feature of Mac OS, I bought Remote Buddy to help me with that, since it seemed to be the most fully-featured software of the potential options I found. When I first thought about the potential of connecting a Wiimote to my laptop via Bluetooth to use as a presentation remote, I immediately went out and bought a new Wii Remote Plus, because that was what was available at game stores. So, it is this process that I will attempt to shed some light on. However, it took a surprising amount of time and effort to finally figure out how to get a Wiimote connected to my Macbook Pro in 2017, and like plenty of developer tools, the process is certainly not straightforward. It also helps with being remembered after the presentation is finished (“You’re using a video game controller with your slides…?!”). In my opinion, its form factor, number of configurable buttons, and general whimsiness, make it way more interesting to use than any other commercial remote on the market. Looking for long-lasting AAA batteries for your remote? Check out our AAA batteries guide for some great choices.I use a Nintendo Wii Remote as my controller whenever I do a presentation. ![]() How are the keys arranged? Are they easy to use? Does it have an ergonomic design that’s comfortable to hold? Design: You need to keep this in mind when choosing your wireless presenter.Check if it is a plug-and-play device, or if you will need to download software to use it. Make sure your preferred wireless remote presenter can work on your device. Compatibility: Do not assume that all clickers are compatible with all operating systems.Range: What are your movement needs? If you typically give presentations in larger spaces and you like to move around, you need to go for clickers that have a good wireless control range.If you are mostly giving presentations in a classroom a red laser pointer might be adequate to point at whiteboards, but if you regularly host business meetings and share presentations on screen you need strong green pointer. Pointer: Think of how you are going to use your clicker.Those that have LCD displays should make it easy to easily tell the battery levels even in the midst of a presentation. You need a clicker that makes good use of the battery power by automatically sleeping when not in use. Power: Most wireless presenters will either be rechargeable or use a battery.Best Value: DINOSTRIKE Wireless Presenter Logitech R800 Wireless Presenter. ![]() Runner Up: Logitech R400 Wireless Presenter.Top Pick: Logitech R800 Wireless Presenter.But there are a few models out there are providing much more features, including the ability to go back to a previous slide, a timer to keep you on track, a start and stop multimedia function, a laser pointer that comes in handy when drawing attention to specific parts of your presentation, and so much more. Your typical wireless clicker is nothing more than a button that allows you to advance to the next slide. Wireless presenter remotes can also help you save time and completely remove the unnecessary interruptions that are common with manual presentation control. A good clicker frees you from the need to be near your computer for manual control. The best wireless presenter remotes give you the incredible ability to move and interact with your audience when delivering a presentation.

007 spectre cast lineup12/29/2023 'Spectre' is out on Oct 26 in the UK (ten days ahead of the Americans – take that, Uncle Sam!), and we'll have a first-look review, plus an interview with Daniel Craig himself, in advance of the release. Spectre was the fourth movie in the Craig-era of 007 films seeing him take on the infamous Ernst Stavro Blofeld, played brilliantly by Christoph Waltz, a role once made legendary by Donald. With filming locations as far afield as Morocco, Mexico City, Austria and Vauxhall, 'Spectre' looks set to be a globe-trotting, bad-guy-capping, martini-sipping romp in the finest James Bond tradition, replete with sneering villains, deafening shootouts and women with long legs and very few lines (that said, we're pleased-ish to see Monica Bellucci on the cast list as the first-ever age-appropriate 'Bond girl'). Ernst Stavro Blofeld is one of the most iconic baddies in Bond history, having appeared in three of Ian Flemings novels and eight films, including No Time To Die. Even the look of 'Spectre' makes promises that the film wont keep. It leads, of course, to the shadowy power syndicate known only as Spectre, and to Christoph Waltz as a psychotic plutocrat who is presumably bent on world domination. Some believed that such a career-defining role might leave him unable to escape it, but he. Reuniting the dream team of director Sam Mendes, star Daniel Craig and screenwriters Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan, the new film finds the moody secret agent reeling from the death of his maternal substitute M, and following the breadcrumb trail left by former adversary Raoul Silva. The tall, handsome and muscular Scottish actor Sean Connery is best known as the original actor to portray James Bond in the hugely successful movie franchise, starring in seven films between 19. With 'Skyfall' still the highest grossing movie of all time in the UK, expectations are skyrocketing for the new James Bond adventure, 'Spectre'. Set immediately after Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace sees Craigs Bond on a vengeful mission to unlock the secrets of Quantum, a mysterious organization responsible for the death of Vesper Lynd.
