In 2005, Chip was redesigned into a wolf which possessed the same thieving characteristics as Cookie Crook. Near the end of the ads, the adults would change their minds once Chip gave them a taste of his Cookie Crisp. Typically an adult would interfere on the grounds that cookies are not breakfast food. ![]() In the format of the advertisements, Chip was a friendly pooch, no longer wearing a mask, who offered Cookie Crisp to a group of kids. From 1990 to 1996, while serving alongside the Cookie Crook in his schemes to steal Cookie Crisp, Chip would serve as a partial foil to the Cookie Crook, often by howling "Cooookie Crisp!" (with cookies in place of the Os in the word "cookie"), exposing them to Cookie Cop and, in some commercials, often saying "Doggone it" after his and the Cookie Crook's plans are foiled.Īfter General Mills bought the Cookie Crisp trademark Chip the Dog continued to be the mascot with the Cookie Crook and Cookie Cop from 1997 to 2005, with Cookie Crook and Cookie Cop removed from the commercials entirely. In 1990, the Cookie Crook was given a sidekick named Chip the Dog. The Cookie Crook, the Cookie Cop, and Chip the Dog Eventually, the format of the ads changed to full animation, and the duo was portrayed as the size of normal humans an even more slapstick approach (similar to Looney Tunes) was used in these commercials. The Crook would have some new gadget or scheme to steal the cereal, but then the Cookie Cop would arrive and save the kid's cereal in the nick of time. In 1980, Cookie Jarvis was joined by Cookie Crook, an anti-hero robber who attempts to steal the Cookie Crisp in 1984 he was followed by his opponent, The Cookie Cop (full name Officer Crumb), a police officer (reminiscent of the Keystone Cops) with an Irish accent who thwarts the Cookie Crook's attempts to steal the Cookie Crisp.Ī typical ad would begin with the Cookie Crook attempting to steal the cereal from a live-action breakfast table often he and the Cookie Cop were portrayed as no larger than mice, so their pictures on the cereal bowl were "life-size". A wizard in the Merlin mold, he magically turns cookie jars into cereal bowls with a wave of his wand and rhyming incantations. The first Cookie Crisp mascot, Cookie Jarvis, was introduced in 1977.

Reverse polarity outlet6/19/2023 ![]() ![]() If you disagree with me and the engineers, please explain your reasoning below. I also can't imagine how electrical engineers from multiple companies could all be wrong in the same way. But in this instance, I don't see an issue at all. If the outputs were in parallel to increase capacity (with some way to sync the waveforms), the relative "polarity" of the inverters output would matter. And after testing this five seconds ago, they are. What does matter is if the reference potential of grounding conductors across ac outputs is bonded. It's alternating current though, so it doesn't matter. It is only considered "reverse polarity" when using the other receptacles as a reference as to what "hot" and "neutral" is considered. There is no exposed case on these units, and it's a floating system. I had a lot of people email me this week about concern over bluetti/goalzero/ecoflow products having a reverse polarity RV plug. As a result, there is no specific hot leg and. It is a floating system, and grounds are bonded. This also means that both legs on the receptacle are hot legs, which is normal for floating neutral generators. Just posted this in my community section. ![]() Our only goal is bringing you peace of mind. Verbal statements are no guarantee, we've been testing the safety of these AC200MAX in our lab and the testing video will be shared here in this week. Is a floating neutral solar generator safe when the polarity is reversed? Electrical outlets with reverse polarity can cause fires, shocks, and short circuits. Meanwhile, even if there is no current flow, mishaps can occur if you mistakenly touch the damaged or incorrect section of the gadget. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience caused and thanks goes to Dan Farren for pointing out this issue and make us better. While you have reverse polarity, current flows through your outlet even when your appliances are turned off. Usually would take about 5~15 days to get the work done(sequential maintenance), more details on this service shall be updated later. We offer adjusting service of the polarity and cover the shipment cost. What surge suppressor is it, brand and model please. If you feel uncomfortable using the AC200MAX with a reversed polarity TT-30, feel free to send it back to our service center in Vegas, NV. In AC terms, reverse polarity means that the hot and neutral wires are reversed. After a thoroughly internal investigation, we found that some of the AC200MAX had polarity reverse connection on the TT-30 socket due to negligence of management, corrections have been made and we promise this will not happen again. ![]() You can place one lead in the outlet’s longer vertical opening. You can now turn on the multimeter by turning the knob in the middle into Voltage AC. Then, you can plug the red lead on the right input. But, I wanted to get an idea of what the problem might be, so I can have a somewhat informed dicussion with them.**AC200MAX - Reversed Polarity of TT-30 Update** Plug black lead in the middle input on the bottom of your multimeter. We are going to have a qualified electrician come in to look at the problem. I'm not an electrician, obviously, but to me, this seems like an improperly wired GFCI receptacle. ![]() However, when I press the 'Test' button on the GFCI receptacle, the other 5 receptacles test as correct. Here is the problem: The 3 GFCI receptacles mentioned above are on the same breaker as 5 other receptacles and all 8 receptacles are showing an open ground. When I press the 'Test' button, on the GFCI receptacle, the 2 other sticker protected receptacles go dead (like they are supposed to). These other 2 are labled with a 'GFCI Protected' sticker. Our hall bathroom has a GFCI receptacle that protects 2 other receptacles, another bathroom receptacle and a vanity area receptacle with a sink. My wife and I just purchased an apartment in the Okanagan, British Columbia (It was built in 1993). ![]()

Dwarf fortress ascii kanji6/18/2023 ![]() ![]() There's going to be a certain inherent complexity simply because that's what the game *is* and strives for.ĭisclaimer: I've been playing DF since the 2D era. There's a TON of low hanging fruit in DF so I'm quite optimistic they can do it, but you get diminishing returns. Making inherently complex things simple is really, really hard. The goal here with the Steam release was to make the game more accessible without affecting the underlying mechanics. That might mean 4X games aren't for you, and that's okay. 4X games tend to be fairly inaccessible simply due to the complexity of the mechanics of the game. So yes, more accessible is good, but there's a tradeoff - does the accessibility necessitate a simplifying of the mechanics? I'm not saying that's a bad tradeoff, but it is a tradeoff. ![]() And the meta is a bit different, but once you learn it, the payoff is a lot more agency and creativity in the game. Is it harder than Rimworld, well, yeah, if only due to the greater granularity, depth, and scale (plus z-levels makes defense considerably harder when you can get enemies on flying mounts, etc.). After adventuring, start a new mountainhome in the same world to avenge your previous fortress, preserving all the same historical threads, relationships, and so on. There's a depth to the game that is almost infinitely explorable. You'll hear references to individuals in your old colony, find their artifacts scattered around the world through trade and pillaging, individuals kidnapped from your fortress and their descendants, and so on. It's quite fun to build out a fortress to the point of it's collapse, then enter the same world as an adventurer and explore your fallen fortress, the world around it, the enemies you fought, and so on. This is especially observable in adventure mode. If another community knows about you, there must have been a mechanism to transfer that information - traders, etc. There is no magic information in the game. Dwarf Fortress also has really interesting story mechanics, if you allow yourself to explore them. You are building more complex communities with more complex interactions, more complex character development.ĭwarf Fortress is just *more*. You have a lot more room for all of those options. Where a Rimworld community wants to be 8-20 individuals, a DF community wants to be 30-200. It can also be either more rewarding as a result, or allow for more interesting stories. Masting DF combat is going to take longer. Dwarf Fortress has 14 weapon skills, 2 equipment skills, and 8 general combat skills. You have two combat categories - melee, and ranged. But if you've played Rimworld, the Rimworld meta is designed to streamline all of the DF mechanics. ![]() You can build a fortress with minimal need for combat, just by choosing your starting location to not have enemies nearby. Understand too that the game is very much like Rimworld (which was influenced by DF) in that it's more of a story generator than a game. The benefit of the Steam version is that it should address the UI, the ASCII hurdle, and give you some kind of tutorial to understand the meta (the pull quote there suggests the tutorial could use more work). The challenge was always learning to work with ASCII graphics (not a problem for us olds who've been playing Rogue for 40 years), navigating the not complex, but extremely unintuitive UI, and then mastering the complexities of the meta which will take numerous playthroughs. Understanding DF meta is relatively straightforward. ![]() |
