It was in 2018 that the link between “no u” and “uno reverse card” was made, as “no u” was seen as an anagram for “Uno” anyway. The phrase “no u” had already been around on the Internet before the uno reverse card became attached to it. But the phrase “uno reverse card”, as it is now used as a meme, was not popularized until 2018. The inventor actually created the game after getting into an argument with his son over the rules of another popular game, Crazy Eights. The card game Uno has been around since 1971. “You want me to pay the bill? Uno reverse card.” Origin “I’m not going outside to see what that sound was. “No way am I giving the dog his medicine. “You want me to do the dishes? Uno reverse card.” More information can be found in the video ( here). This is most commonly how it is seen on the Internet, but you can still say “Uno reverse card” if you do not have the card or a picture of it. This phrase is typically used by sending or showing someone an image of a Uno reverse card, rather than saying “Uno reverse card”. It also means that the tables have been turned. In short, it means a reversal of something that was previously agreed to. As in, I’m not going to do it, but by sending you an image of this card, now YOU have to do it. If someone sends you a Uno reverse card after you have asked them to do something, that is their way of saying “no, you”. This post unpacks the meaning and origin of this expression. But what does it mean if someone sends you a Uno reverse card after you have asked them to do something? Have you switched up your real life play in the middle of the game? Maybe you agreed to something and decide to back out suddenly? If so, then you have played an Uno reverse card in real life. Namely, the Uno “reverse card” has become a common meme on the Internet. But as its popularity has grown, some aspects of the game have taken on lives of their own. The player that plays all of their cards first wins! As you play, you will notice several types of cards - a skip card, that skips the next player, a reverse card, that changes the direction of play, a draw two card, that forces that next player to draw two cards and skip their turn, and a wild draw four card, which is a combination of a wild and draw card.Uno is a very popular card game that has been played by countless people since its creation. If anyone else says “Uno” first, the player must draw two cards from the draw pile. As soon as a player is down to just one card, they must yell “Uno” before anyone else notices. If not, the game moves onto the next player. If the card drawn matches the color, number, or type of the card on top of the discard pile, they can play it. If the player can't play any of their cards, they must draw a card from the draw pile. ![]() If a player wants to change the color in play for any reason, they can play a Wild card and choose a new color. The first player starts by playing a card that matches either the number, color, or type of the card on top of the discard pile. Turn the first card of the draw pile face-up and place it in a separate pile. Start by dealing 7 cards to each player, then place the remaining cards face down in the middle of the table. ![]() To play UNO, you’ll need at least 2 players, but the more you have, the better. ![]() ![]() Last we heard from MetroGnome, he was remixing and revamping the Breaking Bad theme song, all decked out in a hazmat suit and racking up more than a million views on YouTube.

Infact, dual 450Mbps was the best speed available to the 802.1n technology when the router first came out. It’s almost an ancient technology, and almost every new router today offers the more advanced 802.11ac standard.īut, it doesn’t make “a lot” of difference as long as you’re not on a superfast internet connection, the difference is pretty manageable. flat and that’s more than I can say for any other router in this price-range.

Generally, ASUS routers have 3X3 or 4X4 antenna infrastructure to stabilise and better diversify and scatter the signals, well not the Asus N66U. Secondly, the router is pre-flashed with Tomato by Flashrouters, which removes any “if, will, or good/bad” doubts regarding its support for custom firmware, if it wasn’t capable of handling Tomato, Flashrouters wouldn’t have flashed it, period. Now again, for a second forget its successors and more advanced counterparts, when you do, you’d realize there isn’t a better name in the industry when it comes to router-processors than Broadcom. Broadcom BCM4706- 600Mhz ProcessorĪ good, solid processor is your best friend when it comes to custom firmware on routers, isn’t it? Anyway the speed isn’t all disastrous, and the fact that both the bands can be used simultaneously is a sweet little cherry on the top. On the other hand, the 5Ghz band got me a flat speed of 95.00Mbps. From the router, it got me a speed of around 74.25Mbps! While my personal experience is that, on the 2.4Ghz frequency, at a distance of 9Ft. The WiFi bands control and effect the overall throughput of any router, don’t they? Like most other routers, the Asus N66U too offers two bands, namely the 2.4Ghz and a single 5Ghz!īoth the bands combine a throughput of 450Mbps each to get us a theoretical speed of 900Mbps!

This will probably lead to some butthurt people at the onset, but once you get past a certain point, rather than spending cash on ships, they are spending cash on factories and such.Īlso, this makes things interesting if we can capture stuff. IE utilizing a small ship and following the natural progression of the faction/rep system is the most effective (lucrative) way to earn right out of the gate. Just because you have a hull e or a iridis doesn't mean that you will be able to complete missions that fully leverage the ships capabilities at start. Where missions are small and rewards are small. Hopefully when the game is launched a mechanic is put in place around faction and reputation. If it is me and 5-10 friends playing I am busting out the big ships, if it is just me then I think the progression makes a ton of sense.Īlso, as many have said before there is a pay to win element here. I agree with your post, if this game delivers it will have the potential to provide two potentially unique game styles, RPG and more of a Planetside battle royal option. You can't subjectively say that anyone single one of those ships is the "best" cargo ship, because it very much depends on the job. But if it's just 1 ton of tech components, you might just be best off taking an Aurora CL. If it's 10 tons of guns, you'll want a Hull C with some good fighter escorts. If you have to haul 50 tons of ore from Stanton to ArcCorp, an Orion might be best. In another, not exactly, because if CIG does balancing right, it wouldn't make sense to always use one "best" ship for any particular type of job.Ĭargo for instance. You will start with low amounts of money/ships/items, and progress to more and more. One of the great benefits of a truly sandbox game is the freedom to enjoy the game in your own way, and I both hope and expect that this one will be done well enough, with enough depth to allow for both of our play styles to be rewarding for a long time to come.Įh you pretty much progress like most other MMOs in the same tangible effect of acquiring resources, financies, equipment and standing allowing you to do what you want easier and make death and other obstacles less of a setback.Įnnnnhhh. This doesn't mean that there won't be upgrades to the equipment of that ship, probably lots of them.sort of more of a horizontal ship progression than a vertical one I guess. I think it would be possible for someone to start with a Cutlass or Freelancer (for example) and NEVER fly any other ship in the game, ever (unlikely, but possible). The ship I do it in is a tool that allows me to more effectively experience the type of content I prefer. Ship progression up some upgrade path as a focus for your gameplay is fine, but mine will be more about experiencing the content and the social interactions that arise from it. Personally, I will be choosing to look at this game a little differently. ![]() It has been discussed here many, many times. 138 comments and every single one is positive and civil. one day.ĮDIT: Point of clarification - when I speak about "ship progression" I pretty much just mean "ship price progression."ĮDIT 2: Thanks for all the replies. I plan on starting at the very bottom, and working my way up to my Caterpillar. So when I noticed that the Aurora ES was for sale with the 48 month insurance, I nabbed it. It's unlikely we'll ever see it with longer insurance. Even considering that it'll probably be decremented in 24 hours tokens like REC items/ships, that's still approximately 1,440 days of insurance. However, since they first split out all the variants of the Aurora, it's always irked me that I couldn't get the absolute lowest ship possible - the Aurora ES - with LTI.Īs many people have pointed out over the last week, the 48 months of insurance currently being offered on ships during the Anniversary Sale is practically LTI, for all intents and purposes, considering that insurance time is only used when you play. This has always been my plan since the day I bought my second SC ship (Cutlass Black - Pirate Pack) which I had sworn I wasn't going to do. amount of ships, I don't want to "ruin" the progression experience for myself, so my plan has always been to start with my humble Aurora LN and work my way up my ship list - "unlocking" the next ship in the progression as I earn enough credits to buy it, and then either banking those credits or using them to outfit the new ship with better items. ![]() ![]() ![]() The tower is centered within the block, while its base extends east along 56th Street to Park Avenue.

That, and the Atlas of The Planets by Vincent De Callatay and Andouin Dollfus, which was a nice early space-age summary, made me aware of some of the great Mars observers like Antoniadi, and especially the great French observers Lyot, Dollfus, and the Greco-French observer Jean-Henri Focas. ![]() In November 1968, I became aware of more of the heritage of Earth-based mapping of Mars through the Larousse Encyclopedia of Astronomy by Lucien Rudaux and Gerard de Vaucouleurs.

The stove should use about 80% less wood than an equivalent open fire, and produce greatly less smoke and emissions. If you see smoke after that, it usually means the fire is burning out and needs more fuel. The stove will produce smoke for the first couple of minutes, but this will reduce to almost zero as it comes up to peak temperature. It’s usually easiest to then light the tinder with a lighter or match through the air gap at the bottom. To light, place some paper or other tinder in the burn tube, followed by a few small sticks or splinters of kindling, followed by two or three larger pieces. Keep feeding the wood toward the back as it burns, adding a new piece when it’s fully burned away. The ideal configuration is where the tube is about one-quarter full of hot coals (once it’s been running for some minutes to produce them) and one-quarter full of wood that’s fully ablaze, leaving half the space for air, as this will produce maximum flame, temperature, and efficiency. Ideally you only want to have two or three pieces of wood in the stove at a time, as overfilling it will reduce the space for airflow.
