However, you’ll need Norton Safe Search Enhanced, the company’s free browser extension, to get Norton’s anti-phishing protection. Norton’s anti-phishing protection also worked really well, blocking unsafe phishing sites that Chrome’s built-in protections failed to detect. During my testing, Norton flagged several sketchy apps in the Google Play Store, including an ad blocker that was trying to track my location and a photo editing app with hidden subscription fees.

Though it should be noted that there are less in this version than the previous one and some of them seem very specific (Cat Show for instance) making this a slightly easier experience for the Spy - not necessarily a bad thing - think of it as a difficulty boost and a way of making the game less daunting for new players who are unlucky enough to be the Spy on their first go!īut.and this still boggles my mind as to the incompetency of Cryptozoic (yeah I'm been harsh, but I pull no punches when reviewing games), Spyfall 2 is still hindered by its lack of player aids in the box. There are new additions to the game such as the ability to play with up to 12 players using a second Spy, but for the most part, it's another set of locations. Unfortunately, Spyfall 2 feels less like a sequel and more like a reboot. OK, now that the refresher course is complete, let's get on to what's new or different about Spyfall 2. If that sounds scary to you in a bad way, then perhaps Spyfall isn't for you. You might get asked a question as the Spy on the first turn with no information whatsoever and you have to be quick at coming up with a great all-rounder response on the fly that can be role-played up to a character role as required. That's understandable and you should bear this in mind. Of course Spyfall 2 is not for everyone and I have noticed in my experience that those who feel a bit uneasy about being put "on the spot" when they are the Spy might not enjoy the game as much. Always roleplay these without fail - it increases the fun factor ten fold. For example asking someone on a Pirate Ship "do you enjoy your time here," would be received much differently by the Captain then say, the Prisoner locked up in the hold. In addition each location has a "role" on it which you should assume when answering the questions - this provides the most laughs as some responses can sound really odd at times, but still be legitimate to the location. Pretty simple right? But the questions asked and answered lead to some great moments. If correct, he wins, but if not, everyone else is victorious. Likewise, the spy can at any time – except during an accusation – reveal himself and attempt to guess the current location. If he’s indeed a spy, then the non-spies win. Only when it’s unanimously agreed, the accused player reveals his card. The rest of the players (except the accused) vote. Once per round, each player can temporarily stop the clock and accuse someone of being a spy. The key for the agents is not to be too obvious about their own clues so as to give away too much information, but also not be so vague that they get the finger pointed at them. The spy not only has to figure out where he is, but also has to respond in such a way to keep his cover from being blown. ![]() ![]() Non-spies want to provide hints to one another proving where they are. The players take turns asking each other questions. That was smart wasn't it?! Put the Spy at the bottom and that way you don't accidentally ruin the game before you begin. ![]() You get a ton of baggies in the box to organise these decks beforehand, but clearly somebody didn't proof read their rule book ahead of time because they suggest to put the Spy card at the top of each deck.except that means you can see the location when you flip the bag over. Each deck includes seven cards that all pertain to the same specific location, such as the Beach or a School, while the eighth card is just identified as a “Spy.” The cards are dealt so that one person always receives the Spy card and the others get the location. ![]() Pay Attention Spy Classįor those uninitiated, ‘Spyfall’ is a social deduction game that takes place over a series of eight-minute rounds, though you'll probably just play each game as a single round affair (there are rules for scoring for spies, but I've yet to meet a single person who bothers to keep score so ignore those).īefore a round begins, each player receives a card in secret from one of 30 mini decks chosen at random. So rather than a sequel, Spyfall 2 is more of a reboot and well, like movies they only have some success so we'll see how this fares. I'll go into a quick refresher course later for those who have never seen Spyfall in their lives (and thanks to Cryptozoic's inability to distribute their games well, that's sadly a common occurrence), but essentially this is a sequel to the original with more locations and the chance to include a second spy with more players. This review of Spyfall 2 will largely be a comparison with the original game, which I can already say is a great party game for 3-8 people, though to be honest it's best with five or six. After all, “removing liquid particles from a smoke or gas,” that is, forming a precipitate (“a substance separated from a solution”) is the most basic definition of rain.Īll of these words based on praeceps entered English over a period of about a century starting around 1500-a reflection of the both the beginnings of modern science and the interest in Classical languages and culture during the Renaissance. Precipitation is by far the most frequently used of these words today, yet in Webster’s dictionary of 1828 there is no definition corresponding to the modern “hail, mist, rain, sleet, or snow.” The use of the word in this context seems to have come from the scientists who were observing weather in the late 1600s and were familiar with the idea of precipitation in chemical contexts. It establishes a salutary check upon the legislative body, calculated to guard the community against the effects of faction, precipitancy, or of any impulse unfriendly to the public good, which may happen to influence a majority of that body. It not only serves as a shield to the Executive, but it furnishes an additional security against the enaction of improper laws. Precipitancy and its synonym precipitance mean “undue hastiness or suddenness” and were used more often in political contexts circa 1800 than they are today:īut the power in question has a further use. Precipitous means “very steep” and also has a clear figurative use (“a precipitous drop in prices”). ![]() Its literal meaning, “a sheer cliff,” was quickly followed by its figurative sense, “a point where danger, trouble, or difficulty begins” as in “He is on the precipice of a midlife crisis.” ![]() Precipice first meant “a sudden or headlong fall,” a meaning now obsolete in English. These uses followed the verb into the language and are distinguished from it by pronunciation, but retain the ideas of “falling” shared with precipitation and “steep” shared with its other praeceps cousins. It's usually pronounced \prih-SIP-uh-tut\ in these uses. Precipitate is also a noun (“a substance separated from a solution”) and adjective (“steep” or “fast,” as in “a precipitate decline”). Him from that height shall Heaven precipitate The corresponding verb precipitate (pronounced \prih-SIP-uh-tayt\) is used today to mean “to bring about especially abruptly” (“falling demand precipitated an industry crisis”), but its original meaning “to cast or hurl down, as from a precipice or height” was used in the same violent contexts as Shakespeare’s precipitation: William Shakespeare, Coriolanus, Act III, Scene 3 Shakespeare used precipitation’s other early meaning, “the act of hurling or casting down,” with reference to a Roman form of execution by throwing someone from a cliff known as Tarpeian Rock:Įven from this instant, banish him our city, Thomas Paynell, The Treasurie of Amadis of Fraunce, 1572 Therefore let vs take hede to procede by ripe deliberation, fearing least we repent us to much by leasure of our foolish precipitation and hastinesse. In the 1500s its “haste” meaning was frequently used: ![]() The twin ideas expressed by words derived from praeceps are “rushed” and “steep.” The oldest of these English words, precipitation, originally meant “haste” and “the act of hurling or casting down”-it had no connection to water falling from the sky for another two centuries or more. The close connection between headlong and praeceps is no accident: the literal meaning of the Latin praeceps is “ headfirst,” as it is formed from the Latin prae-, meaning “in front of” or “before”-the ancestor of pre- in English-and caput, meaning “head.” 'Precipitation' and 'precipitous': same root, different words. ![]() “In his Constitutional Motion, Defendant first argues that the Indictment should be dismissed because it criminalizes his speech and therefore violates the First Amendment. She has no patience for what she sees as Trump’s patently absurd claims about the First Amendment shielding him: … Despite Defendant’s doomsaying, he points to no evidence that his criminal liability in this case will open the gates to a waiting flood of future federal prosecutions.” “As Defendant acknowledges, he is the only former President in United States history to face criminal charges for acts committed while in office. ![]() On whether future presidents will be overwhelmed with criminal prosecutions: “Every President will face difficult decisions whether to intentionally commit a federal crime should not be one of them.” On whether not immunizing criminal conduct would chill presidential action: … The constitutional limits on impeachment’s penalties do not license a President’s criminal impunity.” “Under Defendant’s reading, if a President commits a crime that does not fall within that limited category, and so could not be impeached and convicted, the President could never be prosecuted for that crime. ![]() Here she is on Trump’s argument about impeachment: A collaboration between American, Google Research and Breakthrough Energy is demonstrating that AI can be used to help avoid forming contrails, which account for roughly 35% of aviation’s global warming impact. Defendant may be subject to federal investigation, indictment, prosecution, conviction, and punishment for any criminal acts undertaken while in office.”Īmerican Airlines uses Google AI to help reduce the climate impact of contrails. Former Presidents enjoy no special conditions on their federal criminal liability. “Whatever immunities a sitting President may enjoy, the United States has only one Chief Executive at a time, and that position does not confer a lifelong ‘get-out-of-jail-free’ pass. Here’s Chutkan’s already much-quoted summary of her decision: (For example, from Justice FELIX FRANKFURTER: “If one man can be allowed to determine for himself what is law, every man can. And the opinion was studded with pointed quotes about the nature of tyranny and the rule of law. This was no technical legal matter but a sweeping opinion written in language that leaned on the most sacred historical touchstones of American history: the founding ideals about the role of a king versus a president, the Federalist Papers and GEORGE WASHINGTON. ![]() 2.Ĭhutkan’s opinion is the first by a federal court to hold what probably seems obvious to most: A former president is not immune from criminal prosecution for crimes committed while serving as president. But what happens next at the appeals and Supreme Court level with respect to her decision could determine the fate of strategy No. Delay the proceedings until he wins the 2024 election and then dismisses the cases.Ĭhutkan delivered a massive blow to the first part of this strategy.Argue that he’s immune from any post-presidential accountability for his actions as president.Last night’s opinion by Judge TANYA CHUTKAN, who ruled that DONALD TRUMP is not immune from criminal prosecution, is one of those crucial turning points.įirst, recall that Trump’s general strategy across these cases is twofold: It’s worth pausing and highlighting those hinge moments in these complicated cases when they arise. With so much procedural action occurring across so many cases in so many jurisdictions, it’s often difficult to know when something truly important has happened. WHAT WILL SCOTUS DO? - The Trump trials can be confusing. An opinion from Judge Tanya Chutkan, who ruled that Donald Trump is not immune from criminal prosecution, is a crucial turning point. ![]() Fixed position of editor toolbar buttons and title input in the macOS CatalinaĪdditional refinements for macOS Big Sur 2.8.2 Nov 28, 2020.Fixed snippet title width to automatically resize accordingly the editor pane width.Fixed tint of the status bar icon to always be dependent on current OS appearance of macOS Big Sur.Center horizontally catalog tabs control.Fixed issue with the first ever tag created from the editor pane and then switched to Tags tab.New hotkey: use ⌘W to quickly close the app window.Fixed crash in some rare cases when app was just started.In case iCloud didn't work for you in prior versions, please, try to disable and enable it again in the preferences.

Grievous can get a little scary on the final boss when the group splits up. In the Dealer Xy'exa wing, with no Bolstering you can pull as much as your Tank can handle this week! Watch out for the Defunct Dental Drill's Haywire this week especially with Grievous, and you may wish to have the entire group Line of Sight the channel to stay safe. ![]() The longer it takes to die, the more stacks of Aura of Intimidation and Oppression will be on the group and this will be even harder with Grievous!ĭe Other Side had 2 minutes added to its tight and the dungeon itself has some very tough bosses, but on Fortified groups shouldn't run into too many issues. Lastly, the most deadly trash mob is the final angel right before Devos and you may wish to Bloodlust and use the Spear of Destiny if you have a Kyrian. The Forsworn Goliath should have their Rebellious Fist casts kicked whenever possible as well. Ideally everything on these casters should be kicked, but especially the Burden of Knowledge and Internal Strife casts. The most dangerous trash mobs are the casters Forsworn Castigator and Forsworn Inquisitor. However, if you just walk directly into trash mobs or fail to use your interrupts, this dungeon does become much harder. Spires of Ascension is a step up from Halls of Atonement and Mists of Tirna Scithe, but the timer is very lenient in Spires of Ascension, which allows you to use Crowd Control on the trash to pull dangerous mobs solo first, before cleaving down the rest of the pack. The bosses are relatively easy in Halls of Atonement and shouldn't give you much trouble on Fortified Week. Ranged DPS can actually outrage the Thrash by being at max range and reducing any damage that you can will help your healer, especially with Grievous. The Vicious Gargon already hits hard and if the Loyal Beasts cast goes off, your Tank will get hit even harder! For DPS, you'll have to watch out for the Shard of Halkias. Tanks will have to watch out for the Depraved Houndmaster and Vicious Gargon, making sure to interrupt the Loyal Beasts casts using a stun, displacement or similar ability. The bosses aren't difficult, the trash has few mechanics and having a Venthyr makes this dungeon much easier. Halls of Atonement is generally regarded as another easy dungeon to complete and time. As this phase doesn't last very long, all the bosses should be easier than their Tyrannical counterpart. The rest of the trash in this instance isn't too deadly and is generally pulled pack by pack.įor bosses, the only boss that will be a little more difficult will be Mistcaller during the intermission phases due to Grievous. ![]() In addition, for the double Drust Boughbreaker before the first boss make sure to focus one to 50% before the other because they cast their AoE damage ability Furious Thrashing at 50% health, so it's important to stagger these casts. The hardest trash is at the start of the instance with the Drust Soulcleaver, Drust Harvester and Tirnenn Villager as this pull will hit your Tank very hard. This means that pulls in this dungeon are small, limited to packs of a couple mobs. Mists of Tirna Scithe is probably the easiest Shadowlands dungeon to time, as the dungeon itself is quite easy and the timer is quite lenient. These are how I'd rate the dungeons for completing a +14/15 Keystone this week with the affixes are Fortified, Grievous, Spiteful (not necessarily in time). Don't be afraid to use damage cooldowns and defensives to kill the Manifestation of Pride as fast as possible, and healers should plan on using Healing cooldowns to survive. Of particular note, Grievous will make Prideful even more dangerous as the Manifestation of Pride's Bursting With Pride will constantly put the entire party into Grievous. ![]() In general, Fortified is much easier especially with the Prideful affix, since the majority of the bosses will be very close to dead in a single Prideful buff and many of the bosses in Shadowlands dungeons ramp over time. ![]() We wanted to highlight the easiest dungeons to try to complete this week!įortified Dungeons during Shadowlands Season 1 tend to be much much easier than Tyrannical dungeons. Many of these dungeons are much easier on Fortified, but there are some more complications this week with the combination of Spiteful and Grievous. This is another Fortified week in Shadowlands Mythic+ Season 1 and we wanted to look at how hard the dungeons are this week in Shadowlands. |
