When she traveled to Kanto to continue her journey with Ash in The Right Place and the Right Mime, May, too, left her Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's Laboratory to learn from Ash's while she, Ash, Max, and Brock traveled throughout the Kanto region. She remained with her throughout the rest of her journey in Hoenn, helping her to win the Purika Contest and place Top 8 in the regional Grand Festival. Much later on, while Ash was traveling in the Hoenn region, May caught her own Bulbasaur after being separated from the group in Grass Hysteria!. the Ambassador!, when Ash sent him to Professor Oak's lab to work as an ambassador between otherwise argumentative groups of Pokémon. ![]() Unlike Charmander and Squirtle, which were caught in the two episodes following that of Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur remained in Ash's party for most of his journey through Johto until Bulbasaur. Using Pikachu, Ash won the battle, and Bulbasaur was caught. Though initially wary of Ash, the two eventually warmed up to one another, and Bulbasaur challenged him to a battle. Many Bulbasaur gather every year in a hidden garden in Kanto to evolve into Ivysaur in a ceremony led by a Venusaur.īulbasaur in the anime Major appearances Ash's BulbasaurĪsh's Bulbasaur debuted in Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village as one of the Pokémon in the Hidden Village, thus also marking the species' physical debut. If it does not want to evolve, it struggles to resist the transformation. It has been observed that a Bulbasaur's bulb will flash blue when it is ready to evolve. However, due to Bulbasaur's status as starter Pokémon, it is hard to come by in the wild and generally found under the ownership of a Trainer. It is found in grasslands and forests throughout the Kanto region. Bulbasaur in the anime have demonstrated a nurturing instinct towards younger, weaker Pokémon, one individual even using its vines to pick up a crying Pokémon, gently rocking it back and forth through the air while singing a "Bulba-by." It is known to be extremely loyal, even after long-term abandonment. Having been domesticated from birth, Bulbasaur is regarded as both a rare and well-behaved Pokémon. The bulb also provides it with energy through photosynthesis as well as from the nutrient-rich seeds contained within.Īs mentioned in the anime, starter Pokémon are raised by Breeders to be distributed to new Trainers. On Bulbasaur's back is a green plant bulb that conceals two slender, tentacle-like vines, which is grown from a seed planted there at birth. Each of its thick legs ends with three sharp claws. ![]() A pair of small, pointed teeth are visible in the upper jaw when its mouth is open.

![]() “We don’t have any plans to stop providing phone directories unless customers contact us directly and ask us not to send one,” said Cindy Tomlinson, spokeswoman for TDS Telecom, which services New London, Monticello and other smaller cities. ![]() However, some telephone companies say they will continue to publish and distribute the white pages, at least for now. “They certainly have disappeared from consumers’ usage, from their habits and I think just from general collective market awareness.” “For all practical purposes, they have disappeared already,” he said. Instead, they found creative uses for the books, including child booster seats or door stops. ![]() “Quite often, when they were distributed, they would just go straight into the recycling bin,” said Alex Algard, CEO and founder of Whitepages.Īlgard said the distribution of phone books is tied to “legacy regulation,” but its own survey found that most people didn’t want them. Whitepages, which operates the website, has pushed for opt-in laws and a few years ago started a Ban the Phone Book campaign. There’s been a national movement as well. However, the state’s recycling rate for directories was just 11 percent. In 2006, an estimated 13,000 tons of phone books were distributed, almost 13 pounds per household, according to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. ![]() “In a lot of communities, it’s a big business,” he said.ĬenturyLink and other companies said they were getting complaints from customers who didn’t want to receive the directories.Įnvironmental groups have pushed for the opt-in laws because of the large amount of waste the phone books create. However, in some smaller communities, people do still widely use the white pages, Martin said. Many people now rely solely on cellphones, whose numbers aren’t listed in white pages directories, Martin said. “We think it’s a good sign that they recognized the fact that technology and the marketplace have changed, and the rule really needed to be updated,” said Mike Martin, executive director of the Minnesota Cable Communications Association. After CenturyLink, Minnesota’s biggest phone service provider, sought a waiver in 2013, the state Public Utilities Commission decided to revisit the regulation and decide if it should be changed.Īfter a lengthy process and comment period, the commission changed the rule to allow companies to decide whether they want to continue to distribute the white pages to all customers or by request only. Often telephone carriers partner with publishers like DexMedia to produce the listings.Ĭompanies could seek an exemption to the rule. Under previous rules, local telephone carriers were required to distribute printed copies of the white pages directory to all residential customers. “You have more and more people who are finding the electronic version more valuable.” “The books are becoming less and less valuable as people cut the cord, because there are only landline telephone numbers in those books,” said Brent Christensen, president and CEO of the Minnesota Telecom Alliance. ![]() Still, as more people get rid of their landline telephones and turn to mobile phones alone, the eventual demise of the white pages seems likely. Some phone companies say they will continue to distribute them because their customers want them as a community resource. Minnesota joins at least 18 other states with so-called “opt in” rules, meaning the traditional directories only need to be distributed if a customer requests one.ĭon’t expect the phone books to disappear quite yet, especially in small towns and rural areas. It allows local service providers to offer telephone directories online only and stop delivering white pages directories to all their residential customers. In Minnesota, the white pages took another step toward oblivion last month when a state rule change took effect. With the prevalence of smartphones and the Internet, using the white pages to look up someone’s phone number may seem obsolete, especially to digital-savvy generations. For some people, the phone books that automatically show up on the doorstep or in the mailbox are relics of the past. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() Most ended up at one of the military bases and they wouldn't let us drive out the other side. It took at couple of tries to find the correct highway. I was in Hawaii in the early 90s and while riding around I noticed a bunch of gliders at the waters edge up near Dillingham. I learned to fly gliders in Florida so all that amounted to was how high would you like to release? We rented gliders in 15 min blocks of time and tried to get back to the designated landing area or at least close enough for a trailer to come get us. but of course I know and understand, it is not a priority for the majority.Īnyway, I’m sure some other collegues here like us would welcome in a far far future, such an add-on. I still think that Aerofly fs2 could be a fantastic sailplane simulator, once thermal and ridge lift are a little bit optimised. Or I remember of an Aerosoft add-on for fsx, with some kind of winch towing system with their Discus add-on.which was not so bad snd could be perhaps implemented in Afs2Īnd of course I remember about the (was it a discus ? Probably) other sailplane we had in Aerofly fs 1, which was a very nice modeled sailplane, with retractable little engine, able to take off, then soar. at least, we could simulate a basic towing action. We can dream, even of some kind of simple AI (like simple silly towing function like in Xplane now. ![]() And of course, someone can pilot the towing plane. We can dream, if in a far away future, multiplayer would be implemented in Afs2. Sailplane towing, with wilga or even DR400 (very popular for such activity in Europe), would be absolutely great. ![]() ![]() ![]() Despite his larger size, this figure is actually a little more posable than the smaller Colossus figures, even getting full double-joint movement at the elbows and knees. The figure stands a little over 8 inches tall and he has 31 points of articulation. Prior Colossus figures in the line have been just shy of the scale for a BaF treatment, but the AoA version of the character was notably larger than the standard universe version, making the larger figure justified here. THE FIGURE ITSELFĬolossus is the Build-A-Figure for the eponymous series of Marvel Legends, serving as the line’s second AoA-themed BaF. ![]() Like Kitty, Colossus has previously been without any toy coverage, but Hasbro’s addressed that in this assortment as well. Likewise, Colossus’ still building relationship with Kitty Pryde became a full-fledged marriage in this alternate universe, as the pair of them became instructors for the AoA versions of Generation X. Perhaps not the most noble effort, but I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. I passed on the Liberty Meadows Yearbook, and a couple of Colossus prints in Artist’s Alley.In the apocalyptic world of Age of…Apocalypse…clever there, the usually gentle giant Piotr Rasputin is re-imagined into a tough as nails drill sergeant, who spends his portion of the cross-over training child soldiers to take down Apocalypse’s regime.

As Dexiduous is too tall he will get blocked by the lodge, and its attacks have an arcing path will end up hitting the lodge. One tactic is to run past the lodge as soon as Dexiduous appears towards the eastern side. This can be somewhat hard to achieve since Dexiduous walks a lot faster than the Vault Hunters, but with some distractions it should be possible to stay far enough to completely dodge his corrosive projectiles. There are a few ways to fight Dexiduous, but all of them are commonly based around maintaining a safe distance. Those standing somewhere between his legs will find the attacks virtually impossible to dodge. Even a third of the complete volley hitting is enough to kill even the most prepared Vault Hunters. ![]() These do less damage and have less splash than the corrosive orbs, but are much faster and follow each other quickly. ![]() ![]() At long range, it spews a volley of grey projectiles. At long range, Dexiduous fires three corrosive orbs with a very large splash radius and high damage, enough to kill if more than one orb hits. These are not necessarily the normal three weak spots as seen on other drifters.ĭexiduous has several devastating projectile attacks which can be hard to dodge without sprinting, depending on the distance between the drifter and its target. The weak points are destroyed once enough damage is dealt to them, but slowly new weak spots grow on pre-designated places on the drifter's body, with a maximum of three at a time. It cannot be afflicted by status effects, but has three critical hit spots which still take reduced damage from everything, and are also susceptible to non-elemental and lightning damage. The final wave consists of two Badass Witch Doctors and several Badass Savages, and once they are killed, Dexiduous the Invincible will rise from the lake south of the switch.ĭexiduous is immune to lightning damage, and takes reduced damage from other elemental damage sources. The lever requires no additional cost to activate, and once pulled, will begin to spawn waves of increasingly difficult savages. Once all totems have been activated, the final step is to throw the lever located just west of the lodge. Once at the top, the totem is located near the edge of the cliff to the north. The fourth totem is found by going to the south from the lodge and through the narrow path to the elevator.From the lift, it is through the small cave and the shallow lake. The third totem is just south of the first one, and requires jumping down on top of an elevator on the edge of the cliff.The second is another very straightforward totem at the eastern coast, but can also easily be done after jumping off the cliff after doing totem number 4.The first totem is located in the very west side of the map, on the wooden paths leading up to the large house, and is fairly straightforward.The totem locations (as seen on the image to the right) are best activated with 1 and 3, and 2 and 4 grouped together as to minimize walking distance. If players leave Hunter's Grotto after activating any of the totems, the totems will reset and the players will need to start again. Once all are activated, a final lever has to be pulled in order to actually spawn him. ![]() In order to spawn Dexiduous the Invincible, four totems around Hunter's Grotto have to be activated using 21-27 Eridium each.

Makes quite a good sauna too if you want one - hot and humid when the process starts. A Bosch one boasted it only used 2kwH per cycle for a single load. None of the others seemed to be thermodynamically efficient some merely heated cabinets with water-cooled condensers: what a waste of heat and water. My Swedish is nil so couldn't determine how that small wardrobe worked. I looked up the suggested links to proprietary drying cabinets. Obviously in a dry climate drying on a washing line is ideal, but often it's a rare option for many people. We set our room next to the small laundry room on the same floor as the bedrooms to minimise transport of clothes. You don't need a timer as the dehumidifier (if properly set) will switch itself off when all is dry, providing the room is pretty airtight. A small domestic machine is adequate for the 8ft x 6ft insulated room. Set the the humidistat to max extraction rate (but not 'continuous'). Once you have those in place, the actual size of the dehumidifier isn't critical - it may just take more time to dry. The speed of evaporation and the efficiency of the dehumidifier are both critically dependent on air temperature - so insulation and airtightness are critical. The latent heat absorbed by of evaporation is liberated on condensation from the air, so there is no net gain or loss of energy from that source. Small dehumidifiers have a fairly low wattage (exact consumption will depend on operating climate), and that needs to raise the air temperature as high as possible to get rapid evaporation AND rapid condensation by the dehumidifier. You need a well insulated room for maximum drying efficiency, unless you are prepared to input additional heat. Those short of space might consider modifying their bathroom to dual purpose. Lots of possibilities - including a a vent which is time-controlled to open at 6.30am to heat upthe bathroom on cold mornings before you get up! With careful design, it might be possible to build a 'heating window'' into the party wall, to regulate the temperature in the drying room and export surplus heat to the bathroom. Recommend a drying room is located next to a bathroom as the waste heat will help keep the bathroom warm. Energy consumption: probably under 1kWh per night - but remember that ultimately this merely heats the house and not wasted - whereas a tumble dryer exhausts to waste outside. Clothes dry in a few hours, room temperature rises to around 30C or higher - gives very efficient climate for dehumidfier and ALL the heat (inc latent heat of evaoporation/comdensation) remains in the house!.
