Do you spend more than you need to? Have a read of this post for some ideas on how to stop spending.Are there cheaper alternatives out there?.Are you paying for things you don’t use?.Do you always shop around before renewals?.Are you on the best deals for everything?.No matter what the outcome of your budget planning, whether you have money left over each month or you don’t, in all cases you should be looking to see where you can shave some pounds from your outgoings by asking yourself the following questions: What to do once you’ve completed your monthly budget planner I’d recommend keeping a spending diary (basically a list of EVERYTHING you buy for a month to see what it is that you’re not seeing and then reassess at the end of that month. I bet your food spend is less than in reality is too – if you know you often pop to the shop on the way home from work for a top-up shop but don’t count it as it’s only ever a couple of bits then you should be adding in extra to account for that. The same applies to anything you regularly spend on whether it feels like it should be part of a budget or now. For example, if you buy a coffee every day on your way to work then it’s a regular expenditure so either cut back (take your own) or include it in your budget. If the amount on paper is less than you actually have in reality – that means you’ve either missed some things off, haven’t been completely honest or haven’t counted everything that counts. When it’s all down on paper, it’s a simple case of subtracting your outgoings from the money you have coming in to see how much you have leftover each month. The planner is broken down into sections that should remind you where you might have missed something but it’s well worth sitting down with your last three months worth of bank statements to make sure that you capture everything. Once you’ve decided which version of the monthly budget planner to use, print it out and take some time to complete it making sure that you don’t miss anything from your income or expenditure categories. How to use your free monthly budget planner If you want the plain old boring version (:-)) then you can hit this link to go to Google Docs and get that one >ĭon’t forget! If you miss things off then your monthly budget isn’t going to be accurate which could cause problems if you’re spending what you think you have available. So if you want the pretty monthly budget planner version then just click here which will take you to the link to it. The link for that is below if you’d prefer to print out the Google docs version but I’ve also made a prettier version which looks much better when you print it out and it’s definitely my preferred option when I re-do my monthly budget! How to get your free monthly budget planner ![]() ![]() I first included a printable monthly budget planner on here not long after I started blogging and to this day, I can see that lots of you follow the link to my original version over on Google Docs every single day. ![]() I’ve written lots of posts about how important it is to know exactly what your monthly budget because let’s face it, it’s difficult to know where to save money if you don’t know exactly where it’s been spent isn’t it? Filling in all of your income and expenditure on this form (as long as you do it honestly) will help you see where you can save money and where you have a little extra to play with. This free monthly budget planner is just what you need to get your finances in order! There are two versions for you to choose from – a pretty colourful one or a more grown-up serious version with no colour in sight.

Are there any issues with install limits/changes detected when changing the version of Wine/CG? The trial period wasn't really enough to say if the game would be stable enough to play long term. I thought these were due to graphics settings but they seem fairly random ( I could drive several laps at one circuit only to get a crash when loading another or turning out the garage.

Conan exiles epic armor sets4/9/2024 ![]() Since Cooked Catfish, Exotic Feast, and Salted Pork provide the same bonus as Great Wolf's Strength and can stack with normal armor bonuses, one can get a higher strength weapon damage bonus by eating one of these foods while wearing armor that provides a normal Strength Weapon Damage bonus. Following that are the entries for the columns for Armor Set and Type. Thus, putting on this helm will immediately delete any food buffs, and eating food that provides a buff will momentarily delete the Great Wolf's Strength buff for a few seconds until it automatically overwrites the food buff again. What I mean by that is that trying to sort from highest or lowest armour rating, as an example, causes the sheet to display the data with the top being the columns for (Unnamed) Location, Bonus, Armor Value, Durability, Weight. However, unlike bonuses from other pieces of armor, this is a status effect that cannot stack with food buffs. Aspect of the Wolf has Great Wolf's Strength, which will give a +15% strength weapon damage buff.This knowledge can be unlocked by interacting with a stele at the end of the Den of the Wolf Brothers or the Den of the Wolfmen Vault.This armor requires the Wolfmen Vault Armors knowledge in order to craft.However, while the wearer is not severely wounded, it seems to impart strength to their fading limbs and the wild vitality of the wolf surges through them. This mask is uncomfortable to wear - feeling off-balance on a human shaped head without a snout. That the Elder Races can still create such pieces, even in their degenerate state, speaks volumes to the power of oral history and racial memory. Only a few remember.įorged of the same metal as the vaults, this helmet is finely crafted and speaks of a technological sophistication that was lost to humankind with the drowning of the world in the great cataclysm. Men have forgotten him even the beasts forget. That was long ago, when beasts and men spoke one language. This middle of the road approach brings compromises of its own because this armor is neither as strong as heavy armor, nor as flexible as light armor.Crafted at Improved Armorer's Bench Description “ Offering significantly more protection than light armor, this medium armor incorporates many elements that balance protection and agility. The signature cuirass style of the Aquilonian infantry is well known throughout the lands - and the mere sight of it is enough to send would-be raiders scurrying for the hills. ![]() Known as a segmented cuirass, these can be crafted with metal or stiffened leather bands. They are taught to withstand the charge of cavalry, to form a shield wall and to break their enemies.

An ancient and fearsome set of armor forged in the abyssal realm and bestowed upon its wearer by a demonic entity. Info obtained from the game as of 10th Decembe.

"I do have my vice," she says, "and it’s red wine. With her natural blonde hair, girl-next-door face, and melodically mouth-watering body, Carrie Underwood would seem destined for super stardom even if she didn't have an angelic singing ability which she most powerfully does combining hot as hell looks with a heavenly voice. Until suitable solutions emerge, our only choice is.

Playspace mover update4/9/2024 ![]() You only need to select the current button for it. Simply go to the community.Ĭhoose any random one and click view, then add the button as I demonstrated on the Oculus and Vive controllers. You merely inserted the one that is now selected, and again if it is not. Sorry, or you could make your own which you could make your own. You could choose between a personal and a community bond. It should be applied to your current binding automatically. There are also more alternatives, such as double-clicking it to make it actually.īut for the time being, let’s just do it as a single. Let’s say it’s not working at all, and everything is entirely blank to newly install it, and you simply click “+.” However, in. I had it up here as a menu button, so I pressed and held it to move the play space.īut if you wanted it to be another button like the steam button, which I wouldn’t advocate because pressing it will bring up the steam menu, I’d probably keep it as the menu button, but if none of this was here, I’ll delete it everything. Choose the button you wish to use for the playspace drag. You only want to have a look at your buttons. So you’d click edit, or you could choose any random one to get the binding page to open up and. I had an index, so I manually chose the fifth one. To make it work with the Vive, because I don’t think it automatically selects the binding for it, click 5 controllers, which should be selected automatically if you’re already using the Vive. The playspace mover you just clicked plus is right-hand space, drag space, right-hand space drag. If you wanted to change it to another button, for example, a B button, all you had to do was press the B button. However, I believe it is ideal for keeping it as a button that you push and hold to move the controller. However, if you wanted it to be a toggle button, you would just click this small pencil icon and transform it into a toggle button. To move your playspace, simply click and hold A while moving your controller. Move this window out of the way, or we can minimize it for the time being, OK? So, with this binding, the playspace mover is bound to a button, and it has a clickable button. You could edit this binding by clicking the Edit button. You don’t see it under that if you see it under the community bindings.īecause it does not always assign a binding, you should click any community bindings. Last year, I shared my own binding, which you could download. Now, I’m not sure about the index controllers, but let’s say I want to build up to something like an oculous. You could also do this in VR, but it may be quicker to do it on your desktop, so once this is open, go down to the bottom and select advanced settings. ![]() The simplest method is just to select show on advanced settings here. You want to head over to the controllers now. On this Steam VR window, you may access the hamburger menu by clicking here. ![]() However, in order for it to operate with its controllers, you must first go to settings. So we merely installed as advanced options, which includes a playspace mover as well as a slew of other capabilities. So the next step is to get the playspace mover to really operate because that’s what we need to do first. Because I already have Steam VR open, reinstalling may result in an error. I already have it, so I’ll click OK you need to click, I agree. OK, now that it’s downloaded, you can open it by clicking on it. So, first and foremost, you should click this one. So, first, you’ll want to click on releases right here, and I’ll include a link to this video in the description. You can use Oculus with Steam VR, but not with their Oculus software. By the way, if you’re using Oculus, this won’t work. Hello, today I’ll show you how to set up a playspace mover for Steam VR.

Investing in iridium metal4/8/2024 ![]() Although the exact moment that the $1,075 figure was determined is unknown, it may be considered a reasonable value for the time. The USD to CAD exchange rate averaged 1.129 in July 2009 according to OANDA Historical Exchange Rates. For instance, Canada mints a gold bullion coin (the Gold Maple Leaf) at a face value of $50 containing one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of gold-as of January 2022. Although nominally issued as legal tender, these coins' face value as currency is far below that of their value as bullion. Many coins historically showed a denomination in currency (example: American double eagle: $20).Ĭoinage 1 oz Vienna Philharmonic gold coin Other bullion coins (for example the British Sovereign) show neither the purity nor the fine-gold weight on the coin but are recognized and consistent in their composition. The Krugerrand is the first modern example of measuring in "pure gold": it should contain at least 12/11 ounces of at least 11/12 pure gold. Historically, coins had a certain amount of weight of alloy, with the purity a local standard. A 100% pure bullion is nearly impossible: as the percentage of impurities diminishes, it becomes progressively more difficult to purify the metal further. The purest mass-produced bullion coins are in the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf series, which go up to 99.999% purity. The level of purity varies from issue to issue. Purity and mass 500 g silver bullion bar produced by Johnson Matthey The defining attribute of bullion is that it is valued by its mass and purity rather than by a face value as money. Bullion metals may be cast into ingots or minted into coins. Precious metals in bulk form are known as bullion and are traded on commodity markets. The status of a "precious" metal can also be determined by high demand or market value. The discovery of new sources of ore or improvements in mining or refining processes may cause the value of a precious metal to diminish. Main article: Bullion 1,000 oz silver barĪ metal is deemed to be precious if it is rare. ![]() Historically, precious metals have commanded much higher prices than common industrial metals. The demand for precious metals is driven not only by their practical use but also by their role as investments and a store of value. Other precious metals include the platinum group metals: ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum, of which platinum is the most widely traded. Although both have industrial uses, they are better known for their uses in art, jewelry, and coinage. The best known precious metals are the coinage metals, which are gold and silver. Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium each have an ISO 4217 currency code. Historically, precious metals were important as currency but are now regarded mainly as investment and industrial raw materials. They are usually ductile and have a high lustre. Precious metals, particularly the noble metals, are more corrosion resistant and less chemically reactive than most elements. ![]() Precious metals are rare, naturally occurring metallic chemical elements of high economic value.
