![]() Richards at Bathroom and Kitchen Planet goes into some detail to explain his thinking: “We price the individual bathroom products for three main reasons. Skelcher at Rossendale Interiors likes customers to be able to wander around by themselves and says it’s good “to give them an idea of price”. You also may lose customers frightened off by a price that may well include elements they wouldn’t want or need.” Gainsborough Kitchens director Alex Jenman tells me: “The advantage is that you can perhaps better price qualify customers at an early stage, so you’re less likely to waste time doing an expensive design for someone without the budget. Legalities aside, though, what are the benefits and drawbacks of display pricing in your showroom? So it could be argued that as generally a complete kitchen or bathroom is sold, rather than the individual elements, and that installation prices are unique to each project, displays are more of a ‘sample of work’ rather than seeking to sell the component parts. ![]() “One drawback is that it can make it very easy for people to make note of the products and price-match online” There are exceptions to this general rule about displayed pricing though, and these include products comprising an assortment of different items sold in a single package and products supplied in the course of providing a service. So how does this leave KBB retailers that don’t currently do this? Retail sales manager at Rossendale Interiors, Mike Skelcher, says that his use of a finance offering tips his hand: “I price displays, but mainly to help customers see what monthly payment they’d be looking at to buy on finance.”Īs an alternative to labelling each display price, specialist KBB accountancy advisor Kevin Bannister tells me: “I’ve known clients that will have sections of their showrooms at different price points (entry, mid-range and top end) so that they can guide customers into the area that best fits their budget.” Not legally bindingĪnd for those of you worried about making a mistake in your display prices, Bannister points out that “when you display a price, it is known legally as an ‘invitation to treat’, and that figure isn’t actually legally binding, so the customer can’t force you to sell it at that price”.īut, despite retailers seeming to think they have a choice in the matter, according to Trading Standards, the law states that product prices in shops should be made clear on or placed near to the product for sale. Now the frequency of these has reduced, we feel far more comfortable with reinstating this”. On the other hand, Elizabeth Pantling-Jones, a director at Lima Kitchens in Milton Keynes, explains why she doesn’t: “We have always previously priced our displays, but haven’t done our new ones yet as it’s been difficult to keep on top of all of the price rises recently, so we have taken many prices off. Scott Richards, showroom manager at Bathroom and Kitchen Planet in Stirling, gets the discussion started, saying that “in bathrooms we quote each bay with each product priced separately”. So, with a comfortable majority not showing prices, I spoke to several retailers to get their thoughts. Rather surprisingly, more than three-quarters (78%) of respondents answered no, 12% said yes and that items were priced individually, while 7% said yes and that the overall price of the display was shown. I asked if their showroom displays had pricing signs. To kick off, I carried out a poll of KBB retailers on LinkedIn to get a flavour of where we are at on these two topics. So, holding that thought for a moment, this month I decided to investigate visible pricing in our industry, with a particular focus on showroom displays and quotes, to see how we present prices to our customers. If we were to rerun the game show, but ask contestants to put a price on KBB designs/displays, it would be carnage, with guesses probably tens of thousands of pounds out. ![]() In fact, on average, it is at least 10 years between revamps in the UK, so no wonder the general public is in the dark about what they cost. Well, people don’t shop for kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms every week, month, or even year. So what has this got to do with our industry? Contestants had to guess the retail price of a variety of everyday items and the one with the closest bid, without exceeding the price of the item, went through to the next round. The game show The Price is Right was iconic Saturday evening viewing in the Eighties.

CodeiumĬodeium is an AI programming tool that can be integrated into code editors and IDEs such as Visual Studio Code, P圜harm, JetBrains, IntelliJ, Vim, Android Studio, etc., to enable developers to ship code faster through its code suggestion feature. Let’s now consider five of those, so you can decide what to use. While GitHub Copilot is a useful tool for developers, there are also several alternatives available that offer similar code completion features. Getting started with it is easy, simply install the extension and begin using it in your preferred IDE. GitHub Copilot is an extension for several popular IDEs, including Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, NeoVim, and the JetBrains suite. Copilot will then analyze the context and offer suggestions within your text editor. To use GitHub Copilot, simply start typing the code you want to use or write a natural language comment describing what you want the code to do. However, it’s not the only available AI tool you can use, and this article will show you five other options. It does this by providing autocomplete-style suggestions as you code based on the context of the file you are working on and related files. GitHub Copilot is an AI-powered pair programming tool developed by Microsoft that helps developers write code more efficiently and accurately. The getting started page has a tutorial you can do, starting at point number 2. Then you’ll have to authorize the extension in Visual Studio Code. Once you have received your welcome e-mail, you can browse to the GitHub Copilot extension page on the Visual Studio Code Marketplace and install the extension. Before you can usefully install it you need to apply to the preview program waitlist. ![]() Testing GitHub Copilot on Visual Studio CodeĬurrently Copilot is in a limited technical preview phase. GitHubĪs shown on this diagram, GitHub Copilot is a service that uses the OpenAI Codex language model to provide suggestions based on editor content from Visual Studio Code and a few other editors. The GitHub Copilot editor extension sends your comments and code to the GitHub Copilot service, which then uses OpenAI Codex to synthesize and suggest individual lines and whole functions.” In addition, the service uses user choices to improve future suggestions. How GitHub Copilot worksĪccording to GitHub, “OpenAI Codex was trained on publicly available source code and natural language, so it understands both programming and human languages. … this is a new space, and we are keen to engage in a discussion with developers on these topics and lead the industry in setting appropriate standards for training AI models. The Copilot developers acknowledge that this may not be the last word on the subject: You also need to understand that Codex is a code synthesizer, not a search engine. Before you start frothing at the mouth at Copilot’s potential copyright and privacy violations ( I’m looking at you, Free Software Foundation), however, you need to understand that Codex was trained on publicly available code in a way often considered to be fair use within the machine learning community. Yes, there has been controversy about Codex and Copilot. The cloud service is a code prediction engine powered by OpenAI Codex, a language model trained on billions of lines of public code. ![]() ![]() You do have to declare (type out) your intentions before Copilot can generate meaningful code, as we’ll see, and you also do have to supervise Copilot to set it back on track when it inevitably slips off the rails.Ĭopilot is a cloud service with interfaces to Visual Studio Code (running on your own machine or running in the cloud on GitHub Codespaces) to JetBrains IDEs, such as IntelliJ IDEA and to Neovim. GitHub Copilot, billed as “Your AI pair programmer” and currently in a limited technical preview, takes a stab at helping to automate programming in a way that’s a bit beyond what IntelliSense and the like can provide. It hasn’t happened (yet) for a variety of reasons, the most important of which is that programming is as much an art as it is a science or an engineering discipline. People have been predicting the death of computer programming for as long as I can remember. ![]() Near the end of the ads, the adults would change their minds once Chip gave them a taste of his Cookie Crisp. While Cookie Crisp is a great kid’s breakfast idea, its also one you can feel good about sharing with your family. Typically an adult would interfere on the grounds that cookies are not breakfast food. In the new format of the advertisements from the 2000s and onwards, Chip was a friendly pooch, no longer wearing a mask, who offered Cookie Crisp to a group of kids. In 1990, Chip would howl the cereal's name ( "Coo-oooooooooookie Crisp!" ) in each ad before he and his master were inevitably foiled by the Cookie Cop.Īfter General Mills bought the Cookie Crisp trademark from Ralston in 1997, Chip became the sole mascot for the cereal, and the Cookie Crook and Cookie Cop were retired.

And you’ll be doing it while gathering war materiel for Anderson on Earth, running into Anderson’s on-again off-again lover Kahlee Sanders, even fighting a game-long nemesis character who isn’t from Shepard’s past, but from Anderson’s! You’ll have a lot of time to think about this stuff. But this is a 40-60 hour game, depending on what DLC you have installed. This makes absolutely no sense except for all the game’s characters insisting it does, and would work much better if you were given less time to think about it. Mass Effect 3 is more than happy to conflate this primary narrative arc with what the plot actually demands as Shepard’s main goal - the creation of “the Crucible,” an extremely vague superweapon that will destroy the Reapers in a single blow. Not just through the handwaved ability to have him ring Shepard up on the space phone constantly to check in, which he does - no, returning to Anderson and specifically liberating Earth is the main point of the whole game. Soon Shepard jets off into space leaving Anderson behind to nobly defend Earth as the head of the Resistance, but throughout the game Anderson looms over the proceedings. Prepare to get very tired of this little twerp. Shepard is along for the ride, most notably tied up in the very clumsy symbolism of trying and failing to save a human child from the destruction of the city. But Anderson is even more than the tutorial character: he is the one giving orders, demanding actions, doing things. This isn’t a bait-and-switch either, not of the conventional kind: no matter where else you go in the galaxy, the game is telling you that this story is going to be about Earth.Īnother warning sign in this beginning section: Admiral David Anderson, still voiced by the excellent Keith David, spends the entire thirty minute setpiece wherein the Reapers pay off all of Shepard’s warnings and sack the human capital of Vancouver attached fully to Shepard’s hip as the tutorial character. This is the first time Earth has appeared in a Mass Effect game as a place you visit or interact with (you go to the Moon in the first game, but that’s as close as you get). ![]() ![]() Six months isn’t that long, Miranda! But again: This is Earth. Multiple characters mentioning you languishing in administrative limbo, and having to move on with their lives without you. They do actually tell you how long it is if you go digging or pay attention to off-hand dialogue - it’s six months - but narratively it feels like a couple years. The first clue you’ll get that something is deeply amiss with the final installment of this trilogy is that it begins on Earth, where Shepard has spent an intentionally vague amount of time grounded since the events of the previous game. We can start with what’s wrong with Mass Effect 3 on a fundamental level up front, because the game starts with it too. A half-second after this screencap, they no longer matter. A game very arguably doesn’t need the bloat that Mass Effect 3 has, though for reasons we’ll get to in a bit I’m glad that it had it.ĭid you know the Alliance has its own three-politician Council? No? They never came up before, but don’t worry. I’ve now spent some combined 200 hours playing Mass Effect games over the past few months (with a couple rounds of technical difficulties unrelated to the games themselves near the end), so it’s perhaps understandable that I flagged a bit in finishing the fight, as it were, in the trilogy’s final entry. ![]() ![]() also thinking about buying a 6 volt positive ground alternator to replace my generator & cut out for a single wire alternator, only would require some mods, as my generator drives my water pump, but I have a welding / machining fabricator buddy that could modify the alternator so it could still drive the water pump. For every 1 degree F above 77º F subtract 0.0028 volts per cell or for every 1 degree C above 25º C subtract 0.005 volts per cell to the charger voltage setting. The adjusted charging voltage is 14.8 + (6 cells x 4 degrees below x 0.005) 14.92 volts. now I'm thinking of converting to 12 volts, & replacing my gauges, lights are already replaced. The recommended charging voltage at 25º C is 14.8 volts. Generally speaking, a single 6 volt battery will have the highest. Battery manufacturers technical notes often refer to voltage per cell (VPC) for the individual cells that make up the battery. My car starts great, but if I had to do it again, I would have just put the heavier cables on, & kept it 6 volt. The 8-volt golf cart batteries manufactured by Trojan can cost anywhere between USD. This is not inexpensive but well worth the investment. my cut out easily keeps my battery charged, & is in fact a little hard on water. Golfers who spend a lot of time on the course and at times must speed up the process, will do well to invest in a golf cart. they are probably about the same brightness as the original 6 volt bulbs with a 6 volt battery. 5 YEAR battery warranty Power: Single 36-volt magnet DC 800-watt motor. my headlights were also previously switched to 6 volt sealed beam, & I've since replaced them with 12 volt bulbs( as all the headlights & taillights burned out within the 1st year of adding the 8 volt battery ). The RX-5 also comes with a 12 volt charging port and 2 USB charging ports. They offer exceptional speed, acceleration, and value for your golf cart, utility vehicle, AGV, and more. These 36 volt and 48 volt lithium batteries are some of the most powerful batteries on today’s market. however mine has a "cut out" prior to a "real" voltage regulator. Our LiFePO4 battery pack for golf carts outlasts the competition in performance and precision. ![]() it's been in the car for going on 3 years now. Because my 38 Nash had someone who previously put the smaller gage 12 volt cables on the car before I bought it, & it started hard, & needed a new battery, I bought an 8 volt. Instead, Hitchcock frames him as a slimy monster nearly every second he's on screen, so there's very little room for ambiguity. The film wants to operate in shades of gray, but its second lead seems transparently evil in every one of his scenes, including the ones where he's supposed to be playful and charming with his younger relatives.Ī more thoughtful, intriguingly tense movie would make Cotten's character genuinely likable and charismatic when he's not showing his villainous hand to complicate our feelings toward him, in the same way that the attitude of the protagonist ( Teresa Wright) is supposedly complicated. ![]() It's an uncomfortable sequence that's as poorly constructed as it is offensive, and it completely knocks the wind out of an otherwise enjoyable film.īuilt around an excellent premise - suspecting your favorite family member of unspeakable crimes - Shadow of a Doubt stumbles on the path to reaching its full potential due to spotty pacing and a subpar performance from Joseph Cotten. It's all fun and games until the finale, which hinges on one of the worst scenes of Hitchcock's career: We, the audience, identify a suspect as the camera slowly zooms in on him while he plays the drums in blackface. The pair reluctantly goes on the run from De Marney's murder charge together, but as they come across the family and friends of Pilbeam's character, the duo plays it as if they're lovers trying to balance their personal happiness with her loved ones' expectations. ![]() Despite being relatively underwritten, their romantic dynamic crackles as the two easily find the comedy in every scenario without undermining the dramatic tension.

Then, pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides of each pork chop generously with all of the mixed seasonings. So, take out a small bowl and combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper for the pork chop rub. That's what we've ended up doing in our house.Īnyway, with all that said, let's stop wasting time and dive into the details of how to cook thin pork chops!įirst, we'll be seasoning each pork chop to give it that perfect balance of flavors. ![]() Seriously, once you see how easy it is to whip them up, you'll start stocking thin pork chops in your freezer for last-minute dinners.

So, as I mentioned, it doesn't take a lot of time - or effort - to cook these thin pork chops to perfection. This way, they won't dry out even if you slightly overcook them. No matter what kind of pork chops you go with though, the key for both bone in pork chops and boneless pork chops is to find cuts with a lot of marbling. They're just not my personal favorite to use. With that said though, you can definitely use boneless pork chops for this recipe and still get some tasty results. ![]() I like to use them because they have a lot more flavor than the ones with the bone out. Now, as you may have noticed, I used bone-in thin pork chops for this recipe. But, if you aren't able to find thin cuts, you can just get a regular-sized pork chop and pound the entire chop with a meat mallet until it's about ½ inch thick. You can usually find thin pork chops in the meat section, sometimes labeled minute pork chops. Recipes like this air fryer turkey tenderloin, this air fryer chicken breast, these grilled chicken thighs, and this blackened salmon! So, everything you need is likely in your kitchen already, or just a quick trip to the store away!Īnyway, here are all of the ingredients you'll need to make these pan fried pork chops:Īlso, just so you know, you can actually use a lot of these seasonings to make some of my other delicious meat recipes.

So that means you can prepare 'em at a moment's notice and have dinner on the table in as fast as 20 minutes!Īlso, since these chops are so quick and easy to whip up, you'll have plenty of time to make some delicious sides to go with 'em. Now, what I love about these thin pork chops is that you don't have to marinate - or brine - them ahead of time to get them to be super flavorful and juicy. Well, this and my flavorful air fryer pork chops. And, I know I'm biased, but I think this is one of the best pork chop recipes out there.
