Like every Gouf I've seen has been chain gun while running/dashing into melee combat and every Gaplant has been dive bomb laser beams into transform, melee combo. Originally posted by MerlinCross:I'm hearing more of "Get to melee range", and there's probably a reason I don't see G05 and Zaku Flipper in those roles. And nothing says "Please kill me" like a suit that stands still. Which, on the subject of those two why ARE they Raids if most their focus is on Ranged? Hell, with it's more anti stealth skills and Ranged forcus you'd think Flipper would be in the support category. I'm hearing more of "Get to melee range", and there's probably a reason I don't see G05 and Zaku Flipper in those roles. Gouf custom's melee is ok, but it is not oriented towards using it, infact it got re-adjusted in a patch unreleased on PC to make it a hybrid raid instead. Zaku flipper has so many ranged weapons that by the time it fires it's faust, grenade and then the 6 anti- air shots, stunning the target 3-4 times in a short period, the faust is almost alreadt reloaded. G05 can't even move while using it's signature weapon. Gaplant is very much a shoot them unitil they are dead with two weapons with stunning capabilities that can be swapped between and chained for a 5 long stun combo with massive damage. Those arm cannons are actually pretty devastating. Gerbera is a hybrid raid, it can fight at range or get in close, both of which are effective at doing damage depending on circumstances. Originally posted by MerlinCross:-snip-I gave more examples. As it is Gustav feels like it's given equipment for a job it's stats doesn't want it actually doing. If it had better dashing, more melee weapons, or a stronger combo skill I'd agree with it. I am confused as to why the large tanky ranged geared suit has such a high push for Melee. I mean Gebura has a higher ranged attack score than melee but I've only seen it used as "Okay they're staggered, INSTANT Into melee and get out" or some flavor of mobile melee assassin. ![]() Generals have melee focused ones, as well as pseudo supports like the guncannon heavy type D or zaku half cannon MB, Raid like hybrids with higher melee priority like the zaku II commander type.Įven supports have their oddballs Ones with evasion, the eyezack(in a class of it's own basically), ones with mid ranged focus(dom barrage sucks at long range for example), and more.Īs I've said, every raid I've seen has been a flavor of "Get to melee Range". ![]() You have gunner raids, hybrid raids, and melee raids.

The good news is that we’ve made some promising progress in the last decade. How’s your head after that paragraph? Now imagine the headaches of everyone who has tried to solve this problem in the last 170 years. And that's why every third odd number can't be prime. Having a factor of 3 means a number isn’t prime (with the sole exception of 3 itself). If a number is 3 more than a multiple of 6, then it has a factor of 3. Well, one of those three possibilities for odd numbers causes an issue. Even numbers are always 0, 2, or 4 more than a multiple of 6, while odd numbers are always 1, 3, or 5 more than a multiple of 6. ✅ Keep Learning: If We Draw Graphs Like This, We Can Change Computers ForeverĪll primes after 2 are odd. You can understand why, if you’re ready to follow a bit of heady Number Theory. And so the second twin prime is always 1 more than a multiple of 6. The first in a pair of twin primes is, with one exception, always 1 less than a multiple of 6. So, are there infinitely many twin primes? The Twin Prime Conjecture says yes. Now, it's a Day 1 Number Theory fact that there are infinitely many prime numbers. So 11 and 13 are twin primes, as are 599 and 601. When two primes have a difference of 2, they’re called twin primes. Since you've known these numbers since grade school, stating the conjectures is easy. Together with Goldbach’s, the Twin Prime Conjecture is the most famous in Number Theory-or the study of natural numbers and their properties, frequently involving prime numbers. It stands as one of the oldest open questions in all of math. Still, a proof of the conjecture for all numbers eludes mathematicians to this day. So it feels like Goldbach’s Conjecture is an understatement for very large numbers. Like how 3+5 is the only way to break 8 into two primes, but 42 can broken into 5+37, 11+31, 13+29, and 19+23. When you look at larger numbers, they have more ways of being written as sums of primes, not less. ✅ Dive In: The Math Behind Our Current Theory of Human Color Perception Is WrongĮuler may have sensed what makes this problem counterintuitively hard to solve. As Euler put it, “I regard as a completely certain theorem, although I cannot prove it.” Goldbach’s Conjecture precipitated from letters in 1742 between German mathematician Christian Goldbach and legendary Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, considered one of the greatest in math history. But we need proof for all natural numbers. Computers have checked the Conjecture for numbers up to some magnitude. Goldbach’s Conjecture is, “Every even number (greater than two) is the sum of two primes.” You check this in your head for small numbers: 18 is 13+5, and 42 is 23+19. One of the greatest unsolved mysteries in math is also very easy to write. But we’ll need to solve the Collatz Conjecture for the subject to flourish. The study of dynamical systems could become more robust than anyone today could imagine. Why is such a basic question so hard to answer? It serves as a benchmark for our understanding once we solve it, then we can proceed onto much more complicated matters. It looks like a simple, innocuous question, but that’s what makes it special. The Conjecture lives in the math discipline known as Dynamical Systems, or the study of situations that change over time in semi-predictable ways. So, we might be working on it for decades longer. But he most likely can’t adapt his methods to yield a complete solution to the problem, as Tao subsequently explained. Tao’s recent work is a near-solution to the Collatz Conjecture in some subtle ways. ✅ Down the Rabbit Hole: The Math That Helps the James Webb Space Telescope Sit Steady in Space The Conjecture is that this is true for all natural numbers (positive integers from 1 through infinity). You eventually land on 1, for every number we’ve ever checked. Take any natural number, apply f, then apply f again and again. And while the story of Tao’s breakthrough is promising, the problem isn’t fully solved yet.Ī refresher on the Collatz Conjecture: It’s all about that function f(n), shown above, which takes even numbers and cuts them in half, while odd numbers get tripled and then added to 1. ![]() In September 2019, news broke regarding progress on this 82-year-old question, thanks to prolific mathematician Terence Tao. ![]() “You could get tanned in winter if you sat right by the window: there’s a bit of a greenhouse effect,” the owner of a 64th-floor apartment above Chicago tells me. The payoff for peace and endless views can be five-minute waits for the lift at rush hour – and even sunburn. Sophisticated dampening systems at the tops of towers mean slender buildings can rise higher, on smaller urban plots, without toppling in a storm or swaying to the point of causing nausea.įor a growing number of city dwellers, day-to-day life can be a little different. Lifts can now travel at more than 40mph and climb for hundreds of metres, thanks to lightweight carbon fibre ropes. Jason Gabel, an urban planner at the Chicago-based Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, which keeps a global skyscraper database, says advances in building technology partly explain the trend. Even in Bristol, where St Mary Redcliffe church has been unrivalled in its heavenwards reach for more than six centuries, there are plans for a 22-storey residential tower that would come close. In Manchester, the first 200m building outside the capital is due for completion next year. Skyscraper clusters are casting shadows across London. If skyscrapers broke ground as barometers of corporate hubris, increasingly they now stand for personal excess, applying gravity to the wealth divide.īritain, traditionally a low-rise country, is part of the boom. But today the highest residential towers are overwhelmingly luxury developments, and many remain empty, weeks after selling. Hundreds were built in the postwar social housing boom, in cities across Europe. ![]() What is life like up there? For decades, tower blocks typically comprised social or affordable housing in crowded cities or on new estates. Today the highest homes are overwhelmingly luxury flats, many of them empty, applying gravity to the wealth divide Its highest apartments will be on the 156th floor. The Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia, due to be completed in 2020, will be the first to break 1,000m. Mixed-use towers, with apartments as well as offices and hotels, include the Burj Khalifa, still the world’s tallest building, at 828m. Today, there are 255 residential towers above that height, with a further 184 under construction. In 2000, there were 215 office towers worldwide above 200m high (the first, the Metropolitan Life Tower in New York, was completed in 1909), but only three residential towers that high. Meanwhile in India, the 442m Mumbai World One will push higher still, its Armani-designed penthouses on level 117 offering airliner views of the Arabian Sea. Next year, the 426m Park Avenue tower will lose its title to 111 West 57th Street, rising two blocks to the west.

We’re out to shatter all the old sexual formulas.” We’re free-swinging, free-thinking family, larynx for the morals revolution, an arsenal for all liberationist movements. “Here comes CHERI! A star-spangled, Yankee-doodling dingdong of a magazine! A motherfucker of a book! Bid farewell to commercialized cunt-mongering. The first issue of Cheri came out in August 1976 – with a typically over-the-top announcement by Peter Wolff that mirrored a similarly hyperbolic introduction he had written when he launched High Society just three months earlier: – Photos of Juliet Graham, Crystal Sync, and others – The story of the ‘L.A, Family’ – America’s first sex commune – Columns by Kim Pope, Jody Maxwell, and others – Interview and photo spread of Annie Sprinkle Peter Wolff (front) with Cheri staff, including Annie Sprinkle and Gloria Leonard Wolff was fired by Ruderman after the first two issues, May and June 1976, but soon found a home at Cheri, the magazine that would prove to be his most lasting success. Appointing Bree Anthony proved a smart idea – and selecting her eventual successor, adult film actress Gloria Leonard, an even smarter one. Wolff suggested adult film actress Bree Anthony, star of porno hits Oriental Blue, The Vixens of Kung Fu, Highway Hookers, and others. And not just any female – he wanted a glamorous woman already associated with the New York sex scene. He hired Peter Wolff – but Wolff suggested he appoint a nominal female ‘publisher’ instead. In early 1976, Carl Ruderman needed a figurehead to divert attention from his position as publisher. He wanted to democratize the content and involve the readers directly in the magazines he produced. He was fascinated in the sexual interests of common men – and their wives. But Wolff differed from the vision of porn magnates like Hugh Hefner and Bob Guccione in that he had little time for the fantasy world of the beautiful people. He became involved in the world of counter-cultural publications in the late 1960s, before becoming involved in erotic magazines. His first experience as an editor was on a student newspaper at Queens College, when he was active in the Women’s Liberation and Civil Rights Movements, even risking his life in black voter registration drives in the South. So they’d dump him… and get his great ideas.”īut to view Wolff as purely an adult magazine veteran is to underestimate and undervalue him. He never believed a publisher could fire him, but eventually the drinking, the arrogance, plus spending tons and tons of money, would always be too much for them. And yet he managed to have sex with most of the models, through his immense charm and intelligence. His t-shirts and jeans were stained, and his long gray hair was often unwashed: he was fat and not particularly handsome. His office was littered with betting stubs, cigarette butts, take-out food, random slides, and manuscripts. He was a compulsive gambler and four-pack-a-day smoker. As part of his deal with any publisher, he always insisted on a tab at a convenient bar, with his own table. He’d even been the editor of rival magazine High Society.Īs indicated in Taschen’s History of Men’s Magazines, “Publishers would hire Peter to start a magazine, and while his magazine would be incredibly innovative and profitable, he’d be partying and obviously having way too much fun. By 1976, he had already worked on magazines such as Rogue, Topper, Bachelor, Ace, Follies, Frolic, Gala, Tab, Vue, Jaguar, Duke, Stud, Escapade, Daily Girl, Caper, and Gallery, to name but a few.

Second, if the belayer panics and pushes the brake release lever all the way back, the climber can still take a dangerous fall. First, they make lead belaying somewhat more difficult, although not impossible. Assisted Braking DevicesĪssisted braking devices are terrific for safety because they can catch a fall even if the belayer lets go of the rope. That gives you a chance to find a better stance and relax your arms in between pitches, so you stay fresher throughout the day. This enables you to belay a follower off your anchor instead of off your harness. I’d consider an auto-block mode essential for most long multi-pitch routes. However, it can also get in the way when rappelling simpler multi-pitch sport and trad routes. While you can rappel on a single strand in some situations, standard rappelling technique requires an ATC with capacity for two strands.Īn automatic brake like that on the Edelrid Mega Jul can be nice for navigating complex rappels in alpine terrain. Your belay device is an essential piece of rappelling gear, so it’s important to think about how well it handles this aspect of climbing. You may want to opt for an assisted braking device like the Revo or Grigri. If you’re mostly visiting single-pitch crags or your local climbing gym, safety is more important than weight or versatility. These offer the most versatility for lead belaying, belaying a follower, rappelling on one or two strands, and more. If you’re planning on multi-pitch or alpine routes, your best bet is an ATC or tube-style belay device. Some belay devices are optimized for all-day multi-pitch routes, while others are designed primarily for single-pitch lead climbing and top roping. The most important thing to think about when picking a belay device is what type of climbing you plan to be doing. I’ll explain some of the key things to consider when choosing a belay device. Check out my reviews for an in-depth look at each belay device.Ĭhoosing the right belay device can be tricky, especially if you’re new to climbing and not sure what you need. Specifically, how well each belay device performs at feeding out rope and taking up slack, how easy they are to use for rappelling, and how light and durable they are. While every device I’ve tried will hold a fall, not all of them are equally easy to use or stand up equally well to the demands of mountain travel.įor this guide, I considered the factors that matter most to climbers and mountaineers. I’ve spent years rock climbing and mountaineering, and I’ve tried more than a few belay devices along the way. In this guide, I’ll show you the 8 best belay devices for 2023 and explain everything you need to know about choosing the right belay device for your roped adventures. So, it’s critical to get a belay device you can count on. ![]() ![]() You trust your belay device with your life and your partner’s life when climbing and rappelling. On multi-pitch routes, the minimal effort required to pull rope through is a major plus.Ī good belay device is just as important as a reliable rope when you’re rock climbing, mountaineering, or traveling across glaciers. There’s not a ton of unnecessary friction when belaying a follower from above, but the device grabs without slippage when your second takes a fall. Since it only weighs 2.8 ounces, I typically carry this ATC on my harness even along with a burlier assisted braking device when I’m cragging.Īnother thing I like about the ATC Guide is that it operates smoothly in auto-block mode. Black Diamond advertises it as having “high” and “low” friction modes depending on which way you load the rope, but I can’t imagine ever wanting to use the low friction mode. It’s versatile enough to use in almost any situation, whether you’re at the crag, hanging on the side of a mountain, or belaying across a crevasse.Īs a tube-style belay device, don’t expect a huge amount of braking power from the ATC Guide. ![]() The Black Diamond ATC Guide is a tried and true belay device that I take with me on virtually every climbing trip. |
