![]() Onyx slabs tend to come with a fiberglass mesh backing to help strengthen and hold it together. This means the stone isn’t likely to hold up well in high-traffic areas like kitchen countertops. Fragility: as mentioned above, onyx is soft, brittle and fragile when compared to some other natural stones.When it comes to using onyx for kitchen countertops, there are a few drawbacks to consider: While this likely isn’t practical for everyday use in kitchen countertops, onyx can be used around the base of a kitchen island, as backsplash, around bathroom vanities, bathtubs or in walling that is backlit (or lit from the inside), creating an effect that makes it seem like the stone itself is glowing. Lighting: perhaps the most unique feature of onyx is its translucency, which means the stone can be backlit.Long Lasting: if properly cared for and maintained, onyx can last upward of 100 years.Colorful veining and gorgeous swirling patterns make onyx a truly unique addition to the home. Aesthetics: onyx is quite rare in the kitchen when compared to natural stones like marble and granite, but it can flourish in bathroom settings with applications like vanity countertops or walling.The Pros of Onyxįirst, let’s look at why you might want to consider a stone like onyx: Because of its fragility, onyx should be carefully evaluated to ensure it will perform well for its intended use. ![]() Onyx is a calcareous (containing calcium carbonite) stone which can contain colorful veins and unique swirling patterns. It often originates from dripstone deposits in limestone caves, where it forms as stalactites and stalagmites. Onyx is a soft, brittle stone that forms when limestone is dissolved and redeposited. The use of natural stone, for example, has many benefits, but is it a good idea to use onyx for countertops? In this post, the experts at Cosmos Surfaces TM discuss the pros and cons of onyx. When it’s time to choose surface materials for your home, there are plenty of gorgeous options available.

![]() Rear-wheel drive combines with a double-wishbone front suspension and a patented five-member multi-link rear suspension. The C280 is smoother and quieter, while the Kompressor rewards the driver with more mechanical sounds when pushed hard. ![]() That’s more torque and at lower revs than the 2.8-liter V6 in the C280. Maximum engine speed is only 5800 rpm, but the supercharger and 10.4:1 compression ratio yield a broad torque plateau, generating 200 foot-pounds of torque from 2500 rpm to 4800 rpm. The 2.3-liter engine produces an impressive 185 horsepower at 5300 rpm. ![]() The crankshaft-driven supercharger compresses intake air that is then cooled by an intercooler packing the engine with a dense charge. The C230 Kompressor is powered by the same double overhead cam, 16-valve inline-4 that goes under the hood of the SLK roadster. (All prices include $595 destination charge.) Three C-Class models consist of the $31,795 C230 Kompressor reviewed here, the V6-powered $36,195 C280, and the limited-production, ultra-performance $53,595 C43. There is no doubt the C-Class sedan is a Mercedes-Benz, from its unmistakable profile to its three-pointed hood ornament to the latest iteration of the traditional Mercedes grille. WalkaroundĬ-Class sedans are the smallest of the three classes of Mercedes-Benz sedans, which includes the larger E-Class and patrician S-Class. The only reason to pass on this package is its slightly firmer ride, but we found the optional sport-tuned suspension pleasantly firm. It not only sharpens the handling of the C230 Kompressor but also gives the junior Mercedes four-door a slightly naughty track-ready look. Our car was equipped with the Sport Package, a remarkable bargain at only $890. That may not be as quick as the limited-production V8-powered C43 performance sedan that tops the C-Class line-up, but it is quick and the C230 Kompressor is much more accessible with a base price not far over 30 grand. Anyone driving last year’s C230 would quickly find out, however, as the 1999 C230 Kompressor scampers from rest to 60 mph in a factory-claimed 8.1 seconds, a full two seconds faster than the older model. Mercedes renames the C230 in honor of the sports car’s engine, appending “Kompressor” – German for supercharger – to the alphanumeric, adding a shiny badge to the trunklid to make sure everyone knows. Stir in the Sport option package, and the solid but stolid C230 becomes a sport compact with a 0-60 mph acceleration time only a tick slower than its V6-powered C280 sibling. The cars with the AMG superchargers use Mobile Jet Oil II.Installing a sports car engine in a sedan often results in an unhappy combination, but when Mercedes-Benz took the engine from the SLK230 and dropped it in the C-Class, it added wings to the heels of its entry-level sedan. I ended up using just under half the bottle. I paid $40AUD from a holden/gm car dealership (118ml). so i had a look what other people use which have Eaton superchargers and they use the stuff from GM (general motors) and its easily available. The MB part number for "Kompressor special oil" is A000 989 62 01 i got quoted around $135AUD for 180ml of oil!!! it had to be ordered from germany. i filled it to the top and then used the syringe to draw little by little out to achive this.Ħ) put bolt back and put airbox back in place. keep doing this until the fluid just touches the start of the threads. Note: do this when engine is COLD if hot or still warm when you undo the bolt it will squirt out! also have the car on a leval surface.Ģ) locate bolt and spray brake cleaner / degreaser to clean the area so its free of dirt etcĤ) getting oil out - 1) use syringe with some vac hose attached to it and "suck" it out OR 2) use a oil extractor which you use to suck out engine oil from dipstick holeĥ) use a syringe and draw some new fluid and squirt it in. Pretty easy to do and the oil STINKS i cannot stress this enough it is VILE! as soon as you undo the bolt be prepared for the smell its also benificial if you spin the charger at higher RPM's than stock. ![]() other cars with superchargers have the supercharger oil changed as part of the scheduled manitaince (ie Toyota TRD, GM's etc). MB say this is a sealed unit and the fluid is for life. This is for the pre-2000 SLK's with the Eaton M62 superchargers ![]() Iv read Matt is a grey guy and from my experiance with moes, I completely agree.

You will recognize an update is not a regular patch when it also has a codename and not just a number. But it’s clear that this roadmap is just the first draft, and we will be publishing updated versions with each significant update. But we did check out some roadmaps from well known and higher profile indie projects of the past and present and did our best to be on the same level. Is there anything we can do to support such approach?Īs for the roadmap itself, a couple of things to bear in mind: With the solid gunplay and core combat loop it’s just fun to be on an expedition and do things, ignoring the Familiar altogether. Meanwhile, for a lot of players it’s about the journey and not the destination. To give you an actual example of the feedback I’m talking about here: we always thought that what you do during the gameplay will be treated as means to an end. No wonder that some of the best indie studios keep using the Early Access approach even for sequels of their highly successful originals. Such feedback will result in a better game, plain and simple. ![]() For example, when you don’t feel limited in any way, you might want to focus less on the main goal of the game and just enjoy slow and steady grind or half an hour of mindlessly clicking heads just before the sleep.Īll my experience tells me clearly that some of the feedback we’re getting is possible only because of the Early Access, and good old regular playtesting would have not revealed these things. You experience a game differently when you play it in the comfort of your own home, with sessions as short or long as you want them to be, and breaks similarly totally up to you. Standard playtesting won’t give you the same results. And that thing is the feedback that comes with dozens of hours of play experienced in the way you really experience games: without supervision. ![]() So yeah, while the regular feedback is important, there’s also something else at play here, something that’s exclusive to Early Access. If we did – and we would if we were not doing Early Access – I’m fairly certain we would have caught the issues. We’ve tested the game for bugs and hardware compatibility and such, but we didn’t really test it for the experience. I mean, that’s it, of course, we’re tweaking and updating the above and more due to your feedback – but honestly it’s also something that proper testing would have revealed as well. Or the Calamities, our big unique battles against the worst of the witch’s undead hordes, the feature we were so proud of, and one that turned out to be a pain in the ass rather than an exciting spectacle? Because while they’re here to stay, we’re definitely changing some stuff around them. You might think that maybe it’s the way the progression works in the game, because yeah, we will be changing that. We said it many times before that Early Access only makes sense if the players influence the development, and this is exactly what is happening.Īre you curious what is it that you’ve influenced? One is ours, the designs we cook up and the worlds we want to bring to life. This vision is an amalgam of two different thoughts. The things we will be working on until we reach 1.0. Here it is, our (almost) spoiler-free, condensed vision for Witchfire. “I value weight and volume more, but for those who want the insulation, I’d point them to this,” he says. While we’ve listed our favorite bottles for outdoor activities like hiking and backpacking below, Strategist writer Jeremy Rellosa has used this lightweight Hydro Flask on the trail before and says it’s a good option for someone who prioritizes cold water on the go. “We’ve tried several stainless-steel varieties, and we always come back to Hydro Flask,” she says. It’s just as cold as when I left it.” Journalist and cookbook author Lesley Téllez also swears by the brand, noting that it’s not too heavy to carry around all day. “ And then when I finish, I have something to come back to. “If I’m going on a run, or a bike ride, I will take my Hydro Flask, which fits into my cup holder in my car, and I’ll fill it with cold water,” says Stern. Because there’s nothing to unscrew unless it needs a refill, I tote it around the house all day and night long, constantly sipping with ease.īettina Stern and Juan Dromogoole, respectively founder of and director of operations at Chaia in Washington D.C., are most hyped on Hydro Flask’s insulation ability. ![]() It’s a feature that in the last few years has made me drink far more water than I did before. While I’m at home more than on the go, I also have the small mouth - though mine comes with a straw lid. ![]() But if I’m more in motion, the small hole is beneficial so I don’t spill on myself,” she says. “If I’m not so much in motion during the day, the wide mouth one is great. ![]() LaToya Tucciarone, founder of SustainAble Home Goods in Atlanta, and her family, have been using Hydro Flasks for many years - “five years, maybe ten, I can’t even remember,” she says, “but they’re not degraded at all.” She loves that they come in so many sizes (from 18 ounces up to 40) with both smaller and larger mouth holes. Several folks I talked to - not to mention many members of Strategist’s own team, including myself - are Hydro Flask devotees. Volume: Multiple sizes, 18 ounces to 40 ounces | Lid type: Detached screw top | Material: Insulated stainless steel To make things easy, I spoke to more than 20 people about the bottle they feel most passionate about, from the dentproof Yeti that’s ideal for children to the plastic cycling bottle that tastes “like you’re drinking right out of a glass.” At worst, it can be disastrous - one with a loose lid can leak all over a commuter’s laptop and chargers, while a stainless-steel flask (though well insulated) might weigh on a long-distance hiker.įortunately, there is no shortage of options for every type of water drinker: vacuum-sealed mugs for summertime road-trippers, squeezable bottles for runners training for a marathon, and gallon-size vessels for those who hate to refill. Before I found my ideal one, though, I cycled through quite a few that ended up unused (too big to be practical for my lifestyle, didn’t keep water cold enough when I was out all day, or made me worried about spilling in my tote). I carry it around the house all day, leave it by my bedside at night, and take it with me pretty much whenever I go on errands, walks, and trips. ![]() But look no further for one that’s ideal for bringing to tournaments, or other situations where a laptop or desktop won’t be available to you. This feature alone makes this kind of capture card the most versatile option, even though they currently support a lower capture resolution than the alternatives. Instead, they feature a microSD or full-size SD card slot that will store your gameplay until you can deposit the files onto your PC. Stand-alone capture cards can capture footage without being tethered to a PC. There are PCIe card options available on Amazon for as little as $100, but given the potential for an unvetted PCIe card to do some actual harm to your desktop (or just not work as advertised), we wouldn’t recommend taking this route.īest capture card that doesn’t require a PC That’s no big deal, as long as you’re eager to learn how to use OBS Studio. The biggest difference (aside from the brand name) is that AVerMedia’s option doesn’t include video editing software. Some alternatives to AVerMedia’s 4K60 include Elgato’s PCIe card, the 4K60 Pro MK.2, which is equipped with similar specifications, but costs $249.99. We’re keeping our eyes out for capture cards that use HDMI 2.1, which will allow for capturing 4K footage at up to 120 fps on consoles. It’s important to note, however, that while the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 are both capable of outputting 4K resolutions at 120 fps, this capture card’s HDMI 2.0 ports mean you’ll only be able to capture 120 fps footage by knocking down your console’s output resolution to 1440p. The card can also record at higher frame rates with lower resolutions than 4K, maxing out at 144 fps for 1440p, or 240 fps at 1080p. As an alternative that’s significantly less expensive, the $64.99 UCEC GAM Live capture card supports the same passthrough/capture resolutions and frame rates as the HD60 X, but it may not be as reliable as the HD60 X.Īs its name suggests, the 4K60 is capable of a maximum capture and passthrough resolution of 4K at 60 fps, even with HDR enabled. Outside of a sale, the HD60 X is typically priced at $199.99, but it often sells for less. The 4K Capture Utility also allows you to record commentary over your video clip, if you’d like, and take high quality screenshots from the captured video. This application isn’t totally necessary, but it’s easier to learn for streaming newcomers than OBS Studio. If you’re recording in 1440p or 1080p resolutions, it can capture at a faster 120 fps.Īdding to its impressive list of specs, the HD60 X grants buyers access to Elgato’s 4K Capture Utility software. These specs are more than sufficient for capturing footage from any current-gen console. It can handle 4K passthrough at up to 60 fps. ![]() The HD60 X connects to PCs via USB (it includes a USB-C to USB-A cable), and it has a maximum capture resolution of 4K at 30 frames per second. It was chosen because they think it offers the best performance and features compared to other capture cards in its price range. When we polled the Polygon video team for their input, the HD60 X was the unanimous winner. The best capture card for most people is the $177.89 Elgato HD60 X. Lastly, there are stand-alone capture devices that simply plug into your source of choice and can capture video onto an SD card - no computer required. PCIe cards, however, are capable of capturing 4K footage at up to 60 frames per second, but on top of being pricier, they require a free PCIe slot. The higher resolution, the higher the cost. A card’s capture resolution is usually different (read: worse) from passthrough, and is the maximum resolution and refresh rate it’s capable of recording. The term “passthrough” represents the resolution and refresh rate at which your console’s video feed can be piped through the card. There are a few specs to pay attention to when shopping for a capture card. ![]() The YMCA-YWCA of Vancouver Island is a charity dedicated to building healthy communities and will subsequently be referred to as “YMCA-YWCA”.
