Do Oil And Fuel Additive Really Provide Any Benefits?

Do engine oil and fuel additives really work? In this article I'll look into some research to find out.

Last week I changed the oil in my car and while going around to different stores to gather all the supplies, including some Liqui Moly engine flush, I popped into the local AutoZone to get a bottle of Restore Engine Restorer. While I was there I saw a bottle of Techron Concentrate Plus Complete Fuel System Cleaner and thought, eh why not? My car has a little over 105,000 miles so I want to keep…

Nissan Micra 350SR, 2002. A Micra K12 created by the racing team behind Nissan’s 1990s British Touring Car successes has been restored in advance of the arrival of the new generation Micra EV. Powered by a mid-mounted 3.5-litre block from a Murano with headers from a 350Z, NISMO high-lift cams and induction, plus a modified ECU, the 350SR sends 300hp to the rear wheels. Over the past two decades, the car has been displayed at Nissan events but time had taken a toll so the concept car needed a refresh. Designers at Nissan Design Europe in Paddington, London developed a new exterior look that updates the car's aesthetic whilst respecting the original.

I did a quick improvement in that Partridge’s backstage picture. It didn't take me more than two clicks, but I think it looks cool and I decided to share it with you. What do you think? 👀

After 500 Years, the Beaver Is Back in Portugal and Ready to Give a Dam https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/after-500-years-the-beaver-is-back-in-portugal-and-ready-to-give-a-dam/

For the first time in 500 years, the European beaver has been seen in Portugal, a moment that one nonprofit has called “one of the most significant steps in the aquatic rewilding of Portuguese rivers.”

“We’re talking about a species that provides ecological services that no modern equipment can replicate with the same efficiency and scale, without costs and bureaucracy that can never be overcome. The beaver improves water quality, creates refuges for other species and helps us fight phenomena such as drought and fires,” emphasizes Prata.

Portugal suffers from both drought and wildfires, which the beaver’s impact can help prevent through the increased water retention in dryland soil, while the wetter lands beaver dams create act as natural fire breaks.

Building the Impossible: The Insane Engineering of the PBY Catalina | 4K...

[mean-scarlet-deceiver]

it's such a cool book because the Twins really threaten to overthrow this whole very restrictive moral framework

like, in the end, they don't. they very much don't, The Fat Controller is totally on top of things the whole time, knowing and fair and kind.

but even the possibility is enough to really elevate the series. i always think about arguing that this book is the series Grow the Beard moment.

so i will admit, i am more of a “think of the positive” person because it is so easy to get weighed down by critical thoughts (whether valid or not!) in fandoms and i know from experience how that can have its effects, so this is probably the only negative thing you will hear me say about rvb restoration before i go back to either crying over tex and writing meta for her or just general one piece posting—

that was the ugliest fucking season of red vs blue, ever. of all time. the colors were muddied and ugly, the scenery was so textureless and bland, and the music was absolutely uninspiring. you could feel the lack of trocadero in every high moment, every scene that could have been enhanced by a leitmotif or musical call back.

i am not sure if they were using an in house engine to animate it, or what, but they should have gone back to halo 3 or 4 because even though those games are 10-15 years old, they still looked leagues better than what we got.

Update 2, Unexpected Problems Arose

Hello, it is I, chief of operations on the project, mc-intosh... I'd like to start off this update post by telling you guys that everyone I've spoken to and everyone who's tried helping me on this, including myself, wants to, quote, "off themselves" after multiple (unsuccessful) attempts of trying to get this game to work. I'm working on this basically alone, apart from @domincja (who is constantly making sure I don't off myself because of this game) so it might take a while until we get the game past the intro sequence, into the main menu. I've already spent hours on reverse engineering how the Tencent Protect anticheat works and I believe I'm, slowly but surely, making progress on fully understanding it.

Why is modding this game so difficult?

Well, you see, Unreal Engine 4 has tons of tools available online made by the community to quickly find information required for setting up a mod project ("Offsets" of "GNames", "GObjects", etc. for those looking for technical details) which should ideally make the process streamlined and easy!! ...But unfortunately, none of them work on Transformers Online. Tencent has made some, in my opinion, very stupid choices when making this game, in turn making my job much harder than it needs to be.

First of all, they use their own, proprietary version of Unreal Engine 4.14.3, which features several inconvenient changes, such as offsetting some values in the game's files seemingly in order to prevent people from accessing the 3D models, textures, maps, etc. and encryption/protection of the game's main executable file in a way that obscures locations of useful text that could be used to get the previously mentioned "offsets" for mods and cheats.

Second, some kind of "TCLS Proxy" fails to initialize upon opening the game, which causes the game to close itself immediately after the intro finishes playing. My current goal is to either circumvent this initialization check using a custom patch made for the game or to somehow make this proxy work.

And last, (this one pisses me off the most) they published the game as a 32-bit application, instead of the modern 64-bit standard. Most Unreal Engine modding tools exclusively support the 64-bit standard, because it is set by default in new projects in Unreal and, sure enough, most popular and even niche games use it, but Tencent, of course, had to change this one setting and make my life infinitely harder. To my understanding, this choice was made so that Transformers Online can support older computers running outdated systems such as Windows 7 or Windows Vista, BUT STILL TENCENT FUCK YOU!!

What is the next step?

I discovered which part of the code is responsible for detecting modifications to the executable and most files. I will be attempting to patch this code in order to circumvent this check, so I can add other patches I need for the game to work into the executable. Wish me luck. After this, it will hopefully be less of a hassle to figure out what else is needed to get the game running.

Anyway, most of the work I've done between yesterday and today is behind-the-scenes, so for today's screenshots, you're getting some character models for Jazz, Sunstreaker and Optimus Prime.

Thank you for reading this far,
