Quetzalcoatlus wingspan8/9/2023 ![]() Some had though it rocked forward on its wingtips like a vampire bat. This lack of research means just how such a massive animal got airborne has since been mostly a matter of speculation until now. Lawson, a geology graduate from the University of Texas at Austin.Ī few years later, the first species to be discovered in the Quetzalcoatlus genus was named Quetzalcoatlus northropi in a research paper by Lawson.īut aside from Lawson's early descriptions of the fossils, almost no scientific research has been published based on direct study of the bones. The genus Quetzalcoatlus was first identified from fossils discovered in Texas at Big Bend National Park in 1971 by Douglas A. 'Walking about on land, it could move its head and neck to an arc of 180 degrees, capable of full vision all around it.' ![]() 'It could lower the great head far below the horizontal, so if it were cruising above dry land, it might have been able to swoop down and pluck an unsuspecting animal. ![]() 'This animal could raise its head and neck vertically, so as to swallow the small prey it seized with its jaws,' said Padian. Quetzalcoatlus may also have been as skilled at stalking prey from the air as from land. 'Then it puts down its front feet, then it assumes a four-legged posture, straightens itself out and walks away.' Herons and egrets do the same, though they are considerably smaller than Quetzalcoatlus.Īs for its landing, this was almost like the take-off but in reverse. 'The animal had to flap its wings to stall and slow its descent and then it lands with its back feet and takes a little hop,' Padian said. Instead, they likely used their strong rear legs to jump upward, and then, once the ground clearance equalled the wing length, began to flap. 'The results are revolutionary for the study of pterosaurs – the first animals, after insects, ever to evolve powered flight.'īecause the legs of Quetzalcoatlus were shorter than its wings, taking off was not as simple as flapping to generate lift. 'This is the first real look at the entirety of the largest animal ever to fly, as far as we know. 'This ancient flying reptile is legendary, although most of the public conception of the animal is artistic, not scientific. 'Pterosaurs have huge breastbones, which is where the flight muscles attach, so there is no doubt that they were terrific flyers,' said study author Professor Kevin Padian at the University of California, Berkeley. ![]() Pterosaurs weren't dinosaurs, but a group of flying reptiles that lived during the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods (228 to 66 million years ago). It walked on two legs, but because its forelimb bones were so elongated, its wings could not avoid touching the ground when folded. Quetzalcoatlus was warm-blooded and is thought to have had hair instead of feathers and no tail, likely to improve its maneuverability. Its launch method was similar to egrets and herons today, but it was more like a modern-day condor and vulture in terms of how it gracefully soared through the air. They say the mammoth creature likely jumped at least 8 feet to get airborne before lifting off by sweeping its massive wingspan, which measured up to 40 feet. The world's largest pterosaur jumped in the air so it could get off the ground to be able to fly 70 million years ago, a new study has found.Įxperts analysed fossils of Quetzalcoatlus – the largest known animal to take to the sky – found in Big Bend National Park in west Texas, to estimate its launch sequence. ![]()

Mushroom wars 2 level 15 hard8/9/2023 ![]() ![]() He's a 19 and didn't have any special tricks this time. He came out of nowhere (of course) and circled the fire, coming around the southern part of it to the northern side. ![]() After a few seconds, the satyr will show up. If you come in from the main road along the river (as you first did when you were tryng to "discover" the camp) from the Northeast, you can pull and kill 5 or 6 furlbogs and you will be right near the fire and outside of aggro range of the other furlbogs in the camp.Īfter you trigger the purified bowl, back away from the fire a bit to give the furlbogs room. Granted, she was 17 with a decent wand and greens, but that turned out not to be a factor. Looking for Darnassus rep for a cat mount for my human warlock, I thought I would give it another chance. Not the least of its problems is that if you die while killing Xabraxas and don't get back to the camp in about 10 nanoseconds, he disappears and you have to start the whole quest again, including getting the samples, which might be the hardest part. ![]() This quest rattled and annoyed me for many characters to the point where I never even picked it up for many of them. Loot the bag NEXT to it's corpse and scoot out of there!Ĭomment by ThottbotSyriana Malorne had it exactly right. In case your hp is too low for normal Heal, I suggest lesser heal before shielding and renew/heal.)Ħ. So I suggest Shield, Renew, SW:P, Starshards, and hit him with spells till he is down. With his speed of hits, it does hurt, and healing can be a little difficult with interruptions. At level 17, a hit from him can bring my hp down by more than 5% each time. (p/s: He hits hard for squishies like me. Place the bowl down and back out of the camp.ĥ.The satyr will appear and run to you. Clear a path to the bonfire, you don't have to clear the entire area unless you are bored, need the exp, or farming wool.Ĥ. Comes in pairs was a little difficult for my lvl 17 priest though.ģ. But be mindful of some furblogs who will try to kill you for stealing their storages. One from the camp without the bonfire, the other two in the camp with the bonfire. Go get the storages (coords can be found in previous posts so I shan't repeat them). Get the water from the moonwell in town.Ģ. Good luck!Ĭomment by ThottbotHaving done this quest at least a million times, I would say it is best attempted a level or two above the quest level.ġ. It can be done but is probably best accomplished with either a partner or a pet that you know how to use. I resurrected and shadowmelded, then snuck away, revived pet and was still able to loot a few corpses. We didn't waste time looting everything and tried to run out fast, but EVERYTHING respawned within about 5 seconds of getting talisman, and they first killed my pet then got me. All the blackwoods respawned and circled bonfire but left us alone. Quickly activated items which drew out satyr who was easy to kill. ![]() Then went back to correct camp, where all had respawned, and took out more until we could get next to bonfire. Did get killed on first try but then just took out as many as possible as quickly as possible to get prizes. We pulled out blackwoods one by one from the rear of each camp until we could get each of the 3 items. We went from the road along the river's north shore and crossed a fallen tree to get at the camps. Comment by ThottbotAfter reading other comments I went in alone as a lvl 19 hunter with my lvl 19 pet nightsabre. ![]() Juicebox 40 ev wifi8/9/2023 ![]() ![]() It’s also rated to operate safely in temperatures between -22° to 122° Fahrenheit, and its plug has a protective rubber cap. If you’d like the option of installing your charger outside, the Grizzl-E Classic has the most weatherproof exterior of any we tested, with a rating that shows it can shield the charger from superficial dirt, dust, oils, moisture, and even heavy rain or snow. And it has a long, slim cord that can be neatly wound around the included cable organizer. This charger is also fairly compact, so it won’t take up much garage space, and it’s lightweight enough to lift into a trunk or mount onto a wall with relative ease. It’s available in two plug-in configurations and can also be hardwired, whereas many of the models we tested have just one or two installation options. The three-year warranty is as long as any we’ve seen, giving you plenty of time to make sure the charger works properly and meets your needs. It’s rated for a maximum current of 40 A, which we were able to reproduce in our testing, allowing it to charge much faster than the Level 1 chargers that come with most EVs. For this guide, we chose to focus on chargers that are compatible with either a J1772 or a Tesla port, as well as on adapters that can convert one type of plug to the opposite type of port.ĭespite costing less than any other J1772 (non-Tesla) EV charger in our testing pool at this writing, the United Chargers Grizzl-E Classic offers many of the same capabilities and features seen in pricier models. Teslas have their own proprietary charging port (much like how iPhones charge from Apple’s exclusive Lightning port, whereas most other smartphones have a USB-C port). The latter category is made up mostly of EVs from legacy car manufacturers like Chevrolet, Ford, and Volkswagen, with a charging port where the gas tank would normally be (called a J1772 port). The vast majority of EVs fall into one of two categories: Tesla and everything that’s not a Tesla. They’re also more likely to have premium features, such as a power cord that’s long enough to reach across a two-car garage or a wide variety of installation options.Īfter 28 hours of research and 85 hours of testing, we found that the United Chargers Grizzl-E Classic is the best at-home charger for most EV drivers, whereas Tesla drivers should stick with the Tesla Wall Connector. But a 240-volt Level 2 charger is the fastest way to juice up an EV at home, adding four or more times as many miles per hour of charge. Most modern EVs ship with a Level 1 charger-these tend to be small, portable, and slow-charging, thanks to their 120-volt output. ![]() The fix is entirely within their control.Whether you’re a longtime electric vehicle owner or you’re still waiting for your first EV to leave the factory floor, you should consider investing in a Level 2 charger for your home. The PIN is not part of the box itself - it's solely limited to the gears and machinations of Enel's servers. ![]() So, if their assumption of ownership was wrong, you're just screwed, no path to reset without contacting support. However, in the absolutely botched roll-out of the "new" platform, "Enel X Way", they've managed to both bungle the ownership of boxes (they end up pre-allocated to assumed email accounts of the old users), and failed to implement any form of ownership reset (a critical feature the old platform had since the beginning). If you're the owner and you're being asked for a PIN, there should be a "reset ownership" button on the old app that you can use to regain access to the box you rightly own. The PIN is supposed to be something you would use if you're sharing the box with someone.Ī request for PIN comes up when the box is "owned" by someone else, though. PIN shouldn't be something you "can forget" - it's not necessary for the owner of the box to know the PIN. ![]() Karlie kloss project runway host8/9/2023 ![]() “These are the perfect faces for the new ‘Project Runway,’ as we re-calibrate for a new generation of fashion enthusiasts,” said Shari Levine, Bravo’s exec VP of current production.

Whitby Jet is the fossilized wood from species similar to the extant Chilean pine ( Araucaria araucana). This jet deposit was formed approximately 181 million years ago, during the Toarcian age of the Early Jurassic epoch. The jet found at Whitby, in England, is the "Jet Rock" unit of the Mulgrave Shale Member, which is part of the Whitby Mudstone Formation. Jet is very easy to carve, but it is difficult to create fine details without breaking so it takes an experienced lapidarist to execute more elaborate carvings. Jet may induce an electric charge like that of amber when rubbed. The touch of a red-hot needle should cause jet to emit an odour similar to coal. The refractive index of jet is approximately 1.66. Jet has a Mohs hardness ranging between 2.5 and 4 and a specific gravity of 1.30 to 1.34. Other elements are found at trace level and the exact ratios varying with the source for example, Spanish jet contains more sulfur than Whitby jet. Jet is around 75% carbon and 12% oxygen with sulfur and hydrogen making up most of the balance. Despite the name they both occupy the same area of the Mohs scale with the difference being that soft jet is more likely to crack when exposed to changes in temperature. Hard jet is the result of carbon compression and salt water soft jet may be the result of carbon compression and fresh water. Jet is found in two forms, hard and soft. Jet is a product of decomposition of wood from millions of years ago, commonly the wood of trees of the family Araucariaceae. The adjective " jet-black", meaning as dark a black as possible, derives from this material. ![]() Jet is either black or dark brown, but may contain pyrite inclusions which are of brassy colour and metallic lustre. The English noun jet derives from the French word for the same material, jaiet (modern French jais), ultimately referring to the ancient town of Gagae. It is derived from wood that has changed under extreme pressure. Unlike many gemstones, jet is not a mineral, but is rather a mineraloid. Jet is a type of lignite, the lowest rank of coal, and is a gemstone. ![]() ![]() When the timing was critical, it was necessary for the probe to pilot itself. It takes 38 seconds for human operators to send signals to DART-or for the probe to send images back to Earth. Those images aren’t just important for research they’re key for navigation. As it approached, its camera continually took images of the asteroid as it grew in the frame, sending them to Earth via the Deep Space Network, an international system of antennas managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Unlike most space probes, DART didn’t slow down before reaching its target. Its makeup could affect a number of variables scientists want to study: How much the crash will alter the asteroid’s trajectory, if it’ll leave an impact crater, rotate the asteroid, or eject rock fragments. “Is this moon a single giant rock, or is it a collection of pebbles or particles? We don’t know,” said Carolyn Ernst, a JHU researcher and DRACO instrument scientist, speaking before the impact. In fact, until today, scientists weren’t really sure whether the asteroid would be more like a billiard ball or a dust ball. “It’s really only within the last 30 seconds that we’ll resolve surface features on the asteroid.” “Because you’re coming in so fast, it’s only within the last few minutes that we’ll get to see what Dimorphos looks like: What is the shape of this asteroid we’ve never seen before?” said Nancy Chabot, planetary scientist at Johns Hopkins University and DART’s coordination lead, in an interview a few days before the impact. Even this much more close-up camera was able to see Dimorphos only as a separate object a few hours before impact. The craft’s final approach was captured by its optical camera, called DRACO, which is similar to the camera aboard New Horizons, which flew by Pluto. The smaller asteroid is so tiny it can't be seen from Earth telescopes-but astronomers can track it by measuring how often it dims the already faint light from its bigger sibling as it orbits around it. Until the very end of DART’s flight, astronomers could see Dimorphos and Didymos only as a single dot of light. The mission also depends on observatories in Arizona, New Mexico, Chile, and elsewhere astronomers are keeping their telescopes focused on Dimorphos and Didymos to measure the post-impact deflection as precisely as possible. ![]() DART is a major part of AIDA, the Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment, a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency. ![]() It was designed, built, and operated by Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory, with support from many NASA centers, and launched last November. The DART probe-the name is short for the Double Asteroid Redirection Test-has been in the works since 2015. That confirmed the spacecraft’s collision, and the room rang out with the shouts of researchers: “Oh wow!” “Oh my goodness!” “We got it!” The images quickly grew in size and then-the screen went blank. The last shots from the craft’s camera revealed Didymos to be a slightly egg-shaped rock, littered with boulders and pockmarked with craters. This is so cool,” said Lori Glaze, NASA’s Planetary Science Division director, two minutes before impact. “It went from a collection of individual pixels, and now you can see the shape and shading and texture of Didymos, and you can see the same thing with Dimorophos as we get closer and closer. As the craft sped along on its final approach, the DART team-watching from mission control-met each milestone with cheering and applause. The DART spacecraft is about the size of a vending machine, and it was hurtling at a ludicrous 14,000 miles per hour as it smashed into Dimorphos. It’s actually the diminutive member of an asteroid pair: It’s a moon of its much larger sibling, Didymos. This particular test subject is called Dimorphos, and it’s about 6.8 million miles from Earth. ![]() It’s just a test, an effort to determine whether an asteroid can be nudged off its course-a strategy that could be used to divert a near-Earth object on a collision course with us if it’s spotted well enough in advance. A team of scientists has now deliberately plowed a craft into a tumbling space rock at high speed. But this time, with DART, it’s different. NASA is usually pretty careful with its space probes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.
