![]() ![]() There were even times when I was upset with my parents for not getting me into the industry when I was younger because I met so many girls who started as early as 14.īut as I said, I felt that at age 19 I had a better sense of self-esteem to tackle that because of my experience. I wanted to be part of this industry for as long as I can remember. I feel like the first two years were kind of a back and forth battle of not feeling good enough because I was told that my body wasn’t the right way. Did you ever face any kind of criticism early on in your career? So I felt very much at home in an auto body shop.įox News: You started going to casting calls at 19. El Camino is surprisingly one of my dream cars. I grew up with two older brothers and I’ve always loved working on cars. The other part is that I’m a total tomboy. Smith: I think part of it is because I was raised by hippies who made me feel that I was always very comfortable in my skin. I’m so comfortable in front of a camera, but when it came time for the interview, it was about me, Savannah Smith, the person.įox News: In the interview, you described feeling entirely in your element posing nude at an auto body shop. I was more shy doing the interview actually *laughs*. And for some reason, I was not shy about shooting nude at all. I got a say in everything so it was really a comforting experience. So when I walked in on set, it wasn’t a surprise. I had a lot a say in the creative direction. The shoot was completely different from what I expected They asked me about my childhood, my personality and how I wanted it to look. But then out of nowhere, it was like, “Your shoot is next week.” I was thrown into it, which was actually nice because I didn’t have time to overthink it or freak out. I actually thought that maybe they had forgotten about me or maybe I wasn’t getting into Playboy after all. ![]() ![]() Smith: It took a while before that took place.

![]() ![]() Honestly, this is hands down my favourite sci-fi series, granted I do not read a lot of sci-fi but any time I pick up a book in this series I know I am in for a roller coaster ride and I will not want to put the book down. Team Raptor may be in danger from the nightmare creatures that now plague the Earth, but they also need to keep their eyes on the sky for danger comes from familiar places. Jordan will do everything in his power to keep the ship in the air even if it means, lying, cheating and murdering to keep it that way. The people are angry, supplies are running out and Hell Divers are in short supply. ![]() While on the Hive Captain Jordan is losing control over the ship. They are on a rescue mission that has zero chance of being a success but they have to hope for something and to prove to X that he was not left behind by everyone. Team Raptor has been left behind on Earth by the Hive but they were able to find a new ship Deliverance to help take them to the last coordinates that Xavier “X” Rodriguez had given and hope that he is still alive after all these years. Nicholas Sansbury Smith is back with his killer Hell divers series and this time the divers are spending more time on Earth than ever before: This review will contain SPOILERS for both of those books and you really don’t want to do that to yourself, so just stop reading this now and start at the beginning of the series. They are both fantastic reads that you will not want to put down. If you have not read the first two book (Hell Divers & Hell Divers: Ghosts) in the series, stop right now and go order them. If you have yet to jump into his post-apocalyptic fiction, the series tends to be fairly cheap on Kindle and they are a very fun way to pass the time. Overall, if you have been a fan of Smith’s over the years, there is plenty to love here in Deliverance. With cities known to the readers but unknown to all of those involved in the story, it is an interesting perspective on what we know and love. On top of all that, the alternate United States of American that Smith has created is an extremely enjoyable sandbox for his characters to play in. To just have a seething hatred for an antagonist and be ecstatic when they meet their fate. He has also created a few characters that you just love to hate, and I find that seemingly rare in books today. Just when I thought that the only threat to the survival of the Divers and people of the Hive were the Sirens, Smith brings in new and improved baddies to delight fans of immense creature horror. While on the surface it seems to be a run-of-the-mill post-apoc story with mutant creatures and pow-pow, bang-bang shooty guys, Smith pushes the envelope with redeemable characters, political intrigue, non-stop action, and an ever expanding storyline. Smith packs a ton of punch into these books, which honestly makes them some of the quickest and most enjoyable reads in today’s post-apocalyptic/science fiction scene. ![]() So, it has been a hot minute since I read Ghosts (Hell Divers #2), and I am not really sure why I waited so long to get to Deliverance. Receiving this ARC did not influence my thoughts or opinions on the novel. Thanks to the publisher and author for an advanced reading copy of Deliverance (Hell Divers #3) in exchange for an honest review. But what they find will change everything. In the third installment of the USA Today bestselling Hell Divers series, Michael and his fellow divers fight across the mutated landscape in search of X. But when he learns the Hell Divers he exiled have found Deliverance, he changes course for a new mission-find the divers, kill them, and make their new ship his own. He will do whatever it takes to keep the ship in the air-even murder. In the skies, the Hive is falling apart, but Captain Jordan is more determined than ever to keep humanity in their outdated lifeboat. After learning that Xavier “X” Rodriguez may still be alive, they mount a rescue mission for the long-lost hero. Left for dead on the nightmarish surface of the planet, Commander Michael Everhart and his team of Hell Divers barely escape with their lives aboard a new airship called Deliverance. ![]() ![]() ![]() Joe brings that same passion to How-To Geek.

![]() ![]() The fact some fewer people are familiar with mining using it means that you don't have too many threats to worry about at all. On the whole, MacMiner is completely safe. The reason behind that is that OS X Bitcoin mining is new, and as such, people are slowly getting familiar with it. Yes, MacMiner is safe, even though the software is not as popular. Just click Start and watch your computer(s) chug away happily as they excavate, discover, and assist in tackling new Bitcoin or Litecoin blocks. You will need to click on "Devices/Manual Flags Field" and enter "-S all." Once all of that has been settled, you are ready to begin mining. Save and proceed to the next step, which is a final configuration. Next, enter your username and password and finalize your login. Once this is out of the way, you will be almost ready to begin, but you now need to fill out a few important details.Įnter your BTC address (or supported currency address), click on the dropdown menu under Bitcoin, and pick a Mining pool. Next, you want to configure and install your ASIC miner to make your mining easier and more efficient. Proceed by installing the software, which is an automated process that ought to take just a few minutes. If you meet this condition, you are free to proceed by downloading the official installation file from the website. What you need to do is first have a legitimate Mac device and operating system. MacMiner is a simple enough solution to use when you are looking to set up your mining operation. There seem to be no type of mining fees applied to MacMiner at present, albeit we urge you to follow through with the official website documentation and see if any specifics are offered on the status of fees as of today. MacMiner Feesĭoes MacMiner charge any fees? This is a good question and one that should concern anyone who is seriously looking to get involved with cryptocurrencies. You can also monitor the networked miners by IP. If you are not entirely familiar with these acronyms, they essentially refer to the computing parts you can use and invest in to set up a mining operation in the first place. To make things worthwhile, though, you will be happy to know that MacMiner will allow you to use numerous miners, including ASIC, FPGA, CPU, and GPU, which means that you have numerous options in approaching your next mining operations. The software is designed with simplicity in mind, allowing you to quickly navigate all available options and translate from setting up the software to mining in a matter of minutes. MacMiner is a powerful solution for all Mac users out there who have long been keen on making mining accessible and possible through their preferred operating system. To make things easier, MacMiner will come with the option to automatically generate configuration files, which is a great relief to anyone who fears that their knowledge may be a little insufficient to set up the software. There is nothing to worry about as the solution has been written in Objective-C with C/C++ in the backend to create an accessible overall user interface and functionality that runs straightforwardly and understandably. The program allows you to mine different currencies and to do so efficiently at the most computing-to-energy cost ratio. MacMiner is essentially the first-of-its-kind software created as an Objective-C GUI app that allows you to become a crypto-miner in an instant and with a fairly easy-to-navigate user interface. In our MacMiner review, we will walk you through everything, starting with what the program is to how it works, to what fees there are if any, whether it's safe, and generally how to use the software. With 1.4 billion iOS/OS X users around the world, it's easy to see why MacMiner is a welcome solution. While regulations still apply to you, your platform of choice will no longer restrict you from achieving optimal results and carrying out mining operations with a preferred operating system. MacMiner, as the name so readily suggests, allows you to participate in mining operations as a Mac user and do so knowing that you are participating as a fully-fledged member of the mining community. Now, Mac users can pitch in by using a dedicated piece of software known as MacMiner. However, as mining difficulty has decreased globally, more users have been interested in joining in and putting their computing power together to discover new Bitcoin blocks. It seemed that for the longest time, Bitcoin mining was limited to a few viable options, and mostly Microsoft Windows-based solutions. ![]() ![]() ![]() I would appreciate your support in this way! Python Operators difference between “is” and “=”:Ī common pitfall is confusing the equality python operators is and =.Ī is b will compare the identities of a and b. I may make a commission if you buy the components through these links. Note that the expression exp in a > exp > b will be calculated only once, whereas in the case ofĮxp will be computed over again if a > exp is true. There is no abstract limit on how many items and python operators you use as long you have proper syntax:Īs soon as one comparison returns False, the expression evaluates immediately to False, skipping all remaining comparisons. The natural meaning in most cases, since equality is generally transitive.” In Python, the values that this not equal to the operator operates on is known as an operand. This is usually represented as and is not for operating this not equal to operator.

Covering popular subjects like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, SQL, Java, and many, many more. This not equal to the operator is a special symbol in Python that can evaluate logical or arithmetic expressions. Ilenia Magoni The does not equal symbol, or, is often not part of a standard keyboard setup or it's well hidden. Notation in which x != y != z means that x, y and z have contrasting values. W3Schools offers free online tutorials, references and exercises in all the major languages of the web. “Note that 0 != 1 != 0 evaluates to True, even though 0 != 0 is False. Where OP is the python operator represents one of the various comparison operations you can use, and the letters represent arbitrarily If the values of the two operands (any valid Python objects) given on each side of the operator are not equal, then the condition returns true, otherwise false. This will evaluate to true only if both comparisons are true. Unlike the other programming languages, in Python you can compare various items using various python operators with chain comparison. Two variables that are equal do not imply that they are identical. ![]() In Python, is and is not are the identity operators both are used to check if two values are located on the same part of the memory.

More often than not, a car with a bad timing chain in it will stall every time you try to drive it. You should make it a point to look out for any signs that could indicate issues with a timing chain and suggest that you need to prepare to pay the timing chain replacement cost. ![]() The sooner that you’re able to catch a problem with your car’s timing chain, the sooner you can have it replaced and stop a bad timing chain from causing additional problems with your car. ![]() What Are the Signs of a Bad Timing Chain?Īlthough timing chain replacement might not ever be something that pops up on your radar, it’s a good idea to keep a close eye out for signs of trouble with a timing chain. It’s not uncommon for people to keep cars for well over the 150,000-mile mark without ever having to pay the timing chain replacement cost. It really all depends on how you drive your vehicle, what you do to maintain it, and, frankly, how lucky you get when owning a car. A single faulty part could throw the timing of your timing chain off and lead to serious issues down the line.Īll of that being said, there are also times when you might get away with never having to replace a timing chain. You might also have to think about it if you have problems with any of the parts that surround your timing chain. ![]() Once your timing chain reaches that point, you’re going to have to start thinking about the timing chain replacement cost. Generally speaking, the average timing chain is built to last for somewhere between 80,000 and 120,000 miles. There is a chance that you will need to have it replaced with a new one at some point during your ownership of a vehicle. But it’s important to note that your car’s timing chain is not going to last forever. It’s why people aren’t always sure what the timing chain replacement cost will be when they encounter issues with their timing chain. In many cases, people won’t ever have to be too concerned about replacing the timing chain in their car’s engine. Your timing chain will always be working behind the scenes to keep your engine in great condition. As long as your timing chain and everything that surrounds it is in good working order, you won’t have to worry about your intake and exhaust valves opening and closing at the correct times. The timing chain tensioner ensures that your timing chain isn’t ever able to skip a single tooth on your camshaft gear. The timing chain is driven by a gear that is situated on your crankshaft, and it’s responsible for turning that gear so that the intake and exhaust valves in your engine open and close on a consistent basis when you’re driving your car. It’s connected to both your crankshaft timing gear and your camshaft timing gear and it remains tight at all times thanks to your timing chain tensioner. So, what exactly is it that timing chains do? Well, a timing chain is located inside of your engine right behind what is called your timing cover. They’re designed to live up to the heavy demands that are put on timing chains over the years. Timing chains operate in much the same way that bicycle chains do, with the one big difference being that timing chains in cars are usually a whole heck of a lot thicker than bike chains are. Those chains play a very important role when it comes to keeping your bike moving. Most people are familiar with the chains that are found on bicycles. ![]() ![]() Take a few seconds and give us a try!
