9/16/2023 0 Comments Schick xtreme 3 vs mach 3![]() ![]() You can barely feel the weight in your hand. This one is all plastic, from the grips to the connection point with the cartridge.īeing all plastic, the handle is extremely light. Most refillable razors have some mix of metal and plastic, with rubberized grips. The first thing that jumped out to us is that the handle for this razor is completely plastic. It offers some unique aspects we hadn’t seen elsewhere. The design of the BIC Hybrid Comfort 3 is different from other razors we’ve tried. That’s a big plus because with this many razors you don’t want to have them rattling around loose in a drawer until you use them. Included in the cardboard and plastic pack (which can be recycled after opening) was the handle and a dozen razor cartridges.Ĭartridges came in groups of four, each in a plastic holder. Our razor, which was bought from Amazon, came in a retail packaging. Is there really a need for something in between? To see for ourselves, we bought a BIC Hybrid Comfort 3 and put it to the test. Disposables have their place, as do typical refillable razors. To be honest, it’s a strange niche to try to fill. Meanwhile, it’s an upgrade from typical disposable razors, including better grip, three blades, and a pivoting head. Once you are done with the cartridges, you can toss the entire handle and then get a new one. ![]() Technically it’s a disposable razor but instead of tossing the entire thing at once, you change out the razor head like a normal reusable razor. Somewhere in between those two points is the BIC Hybrid Comfort 3. They serve their purpose, but most people wouldn’t want to use them as an everyday razor. Of course, they are as basic as shaving gets and are designed for a single use and then to be tossed. These, you can get in packs of five for $1. ![]() On the other end of the spectrum are the extremely cheap disposables. It’s not unusual to pay $3-4 for a cartridge on some of the fancier razors that also have a lot of bells and whistles you might not want. Closeness: Shaving enthusiasts look for a “BBS” shave-“baby’s butt smooth.” Having changed a lot of diapers in his day, Dan can tell you that that’s a somewhat spurious attribute, but we looked for a close shave without cuts and irritation.Let’s face it.Some people will do better with five blades-but these more densely packed blades can clog more easily, and no matter how many blades are in the razor, it has to rinse well. But we’ve done enough testing to believe that you get a quicker, smoother shave from three-blade razors. Multiple blades: One blade is certainly enough to get the job done, and seven is definitely overkill.A razor handle should maneuver around the contours of your face without you having to twist and angle it too much, and we believe a heavier handle is better, since it offers more control. A handle that works: A handle should have a good grip-any razor that slipped when wet during our testing was instantly disqualified.And shavers should continue to feel comfortable after shaving, without redness, irritation, or ingrown hairs. Modern multi-blade razors rarely nick or cut, so any razor that consistently did was eliminated. If the razor has a lubricating strip, it shouldn’t turn into a slippery mess. Comfort during and after use: This means that the razor feels good on your face-it glides well, cutting without pulling or tugging. ![]() 9/16/2023 0 Comments Motion capture games![]() Whether moving with the handheld screen itself or pointing with the Joy-Con, aiming the bow feels surprisingly smooth and precise. Less appreciated is the game's subtle-but-effective use of motion controls. Of course, this Zelda epic on Switch shines in its own right - with its thrilling action, dynamic gameplay, and vast landscapes that invoke exploration. Neither console has innate motion control technology, after all. ![]() Just note that, if you're planning to pick up 2023, and you intend to tap into motion controls, you should avoid the Xbox Series X|S or PS5 ports. It's simply amazing that the franchise keeps kicking, selling enough copies year after year to never, ever take a break. ![]() but most Just Dance games are solid in that regard. Its song list, including hits from Evanescence and Taylor Swift to Doja Cat and Tiger Monkey is solid. Its UI is, indeed, exactly the same as 2022's. Its features are almost identical to the 2020, 2021, and 2022 versions. There's nothing especially grand about the Just Dance series' 2023 edition. It's flown under our radar somehow, despite its massive popularity perhaps because it's so synonymous with our subject, it's always felt implied. You might think it's impossible to list the best games with motion controls without Just Dance, but surprisingly enough, we're only just now adding it in with the latest update. From subtle vibrations as the tennis ball nears its destination to full-blown vibrations as the ball bumps into Mario's racket (and an appropriately "bouncy" aftermath as it's flung back across the net), Mario Tennis Aces has it all. Thanks to the Switch's Joy-Con controllers, that aforementioned kineticism that helps to define the sport can truly be felt at last. The second time's the charm for developer Camelot Software. Their Wii port of the GameCube's Mario Power Tennis, however, was criticized for somewhat inadequate implementation.Įnter Mario Tennis Aces, the House of Mario's second crack at the formula. Tennis being what it is - a physically demanding sport where balls slam into rackets and each competitor feels that hard smack in their hands and forearms - it was always going to be an appealing venue for Nintendo to explore via motion control technology. The Mario Tennis brand has been around for some 20 years and counting. No more awkward disconnects, no more real-world sword-swinging you know in your heart of hearts was replicated incorrectly in-game, and best of all, none of Fi's countless warnings that the Wiimote's batteries are almost depleted. ![]() The new and improved motion controls have been somewhat unfairly ignored because they are so much better than they used to be. When Nintendo announced Skyward Sword would soon receive a Switch port, plenty of folks rejoiced specifically because it would support a lack of motion controls via the Switch Pro Controller. Some fans fell in love with the results, but many players expressed frustration with the game's imprecision and frequent disconnects. Everything from fishing to swordplay mandated the Wii MotionPlus controls. The original Skyward Sword, a Wii-era adventure that had the supreme misfortune of launching toward the end of the Wii's run when the hype had faded and interest waned, built itself from the ground up on the premise that motion controls had never before been so well-realized. ![]() Updated Decemby Quinton O'Connor: We've added a few more entries, perhaps Overwatch most notably among them, and tidied things up a bit in general. Which just begs the question: what are the best motion games? Let’s get to the ranking! We've now had over 15 years with the "gimmick,". Now, Sony and Nintendo are the only two console companies still in the motion gaming business. For others, the mechanic is so expertly built into the game's DNA that no other system could work. Would games be better off without the surge in motion controls? Frankly, for some of them, the answer is yes. RELATED: Fitness Video Games That Will Actually Make You Sweat The Xbox 360’s Kinect was a big launching point for the Xbox One before they abandoned it almost immediately. The PS3 got the Move controllers, which still work on PS4 and on their PSVR headset. Due to the console's monstrous success, this prompted Sony and Microsoft to more-or-less copy Nintendo's blueprint. Motion controls became something of a fad after the Wii launched in 2006. ![]() 9/16/2023 0 Comments Kodi 19.4 matrix![]() ![]() ![]() Plus, this one works on both Fire TV Sticks and Android boxes too!ĭoomzday BK19 Kodi Build – Last but not least, we have Doomzday BK19.

The wisdom literature of the Old Testament invites the study of human nature, behavior, and change from sources outside the canon of Scripture as well as in Scripture itself. Therefore it is very important that we obtain it. Wisdom leads to joy because creation produces joy ( Proverbs 8:30-31) both for the Creator and for the creature. Nothing came into existence without wisdom. Wisdom is older than the universe, and it was essential in its creation. "The principles articulated throughout the book are as helpful for living the Christian life as they were for providing guidance to the ancient theocratic community of Israel." Īs Creator, God counted wisdom most important. ![]() Probably when Solomon recorded his counsel to his son, he adapted it to a more general reading audience, namely: all the people of Israel. This suggests that what we have in Proverbs is not atypical. This suggests that even though the teaching took place in the home, the teachers preserved their instructions in writing, with a view to sharing them with people outside the family circle. It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that this feature is an example of the adaptation of the Egyptian tradition to the peculiar situation in which the Israelite instructions were composed: a domestic situation in which the father and mother together shared the responsibility for the education of the child." Īrchaeologists have found most of the documents that contain extrabiblical instruction of the "my son" type in excavated scribal schools. and this throws into greater relief the one feature which is entirely unique in them: the mention of the mother. The phraseology of these sentences corresponds almost exactly to that of their Egyptian counterparts. "Here the father and mother are placed on exactly the same footing as teachers of their children. Proverbs 1:8 Proverbs 4:3 Proverbs 6:20 Proverbs 31:1 Proverbs 31:26). In some parts of the ancient world, the mother shared the duty of instructing the son with the father (cf. Consequently, there seems to be no reason to take these references to "my son" as anything other than what they appear at face value to be (cf. These matters included the administration of justice, leadership, behavior, as well as urban and agricultural concerns. In the teaching that follows, there is advice for many situations a king would encounter and have to deal with effectively. Proverbs isn’t a sexist book, but it was written in the context of a strongly male-oriented society." For the most part, when you read ’man’ in Proverbs, interpret it generically and read ’person,’ whether male or female. Most of them were kept secluded and prepared for marriage and motherhood. the Book of Proverbs has a definite masculine focus because in the ancient Jewish society daughters usually weren’t educated for the affairs of life. ![]() In Proverbs, we have the record of what Solomon told his son Rehoboam, and probably also his other sons. Other evidence exists that it was common throughout the ancient Near East for high officials to pass on this special instruction to their heirs. This suggests that we are to construe the text as being in the form of admonitions of some worthy to his son who will succeed him as vizier to the ruler." ![]() "The advice given in the section ’My son’ can have had relevance for very few people. They appear as aged officials at the end of active and successful careers, desirous to let their children profit by their experience." Įarlier, Akkadian officials evidently practiced the same custom. In Egypt, for example, "The authors of the ’teachings’ do not present themselves as priests and prophets. This instruction did not replace a formal education but supplemented it. This seems to have been a traditional form of ancient Near Eastern education, especially among the ruling classes. The instruction that follows was originally the type of counsel a courtier father gave his son or sons in his home. Though the whole Book of Proverbs gives help to youths, chapters 1-7 address them specifically and can be of particular benefit to them. This person’s life lay in front of him, and he faced major decisions that would set the course of his life from then on. The frequent recurrence of the phrase "my son" in this part of Proverbs indicates that the instruction specially suited a young person. "It derives from the idea that parents are primarily responsible for moral instruction ( Proverbs 4:3-4 Deuteronomy 6:7)." "My son" was and is a customary way of addressing a disciple. In this section Solomon spoke to his son, guiding him into God’s way. The two ways (paths, worldviews) introduced in Proverbs 1:7 stretch out before the reader (cf. ![]() |
