![]() ![]() The tech industry is littered with anonymous social apps that failed due to issues with cyberbullying. (Sendit didn't respond to a request for more information about its app's operations.) Sendit's App Store reviews (see photos) indicate that is, indeed, taking place. For example, nonprofit Common Sense Media, an independent source for media recommendations and advice for families, pointed out that "anonymity on social media can easily lead teens down a slippery slope of poor choices." The organization said that while teens will be drawn to the excitement of responding anonymously - perhaps learning that someone might have a crush on them - "hiding behind anonymity can also bring out hatefulness and sexually explicit risk taking." It has yet to announce any policy changes as result of that investigation, but some child advocates would argue that anonymous apps should have no place in a teenager's life at all.Įven before the Snap lawsuit, apps like Yolo and LMK had raised concerns among child advocates and parents alike. The company tells us that it's continuing to review developers to ensure their compliance. In practice, however - as the lawsuit highlighted - there appears to be an issue with how well those terms are enforced on Snap's end. Image Credits: Screenshot of public App Store review of sendit username redacted Instead, they integrate with a toolkit for third-party developers called Snap Kit, which allows them to create new product experiences that work with Snapchat's best features, like Stories, Bitmoji, the Snapchat Camera and more. To be clear, none of these are official Snapchat applications. The app also includes other Lens games, like "Never Have I Ever," "This or That," "Kiss, Marry, Block" and others. ![]() Like Yolo and LMK, Sendit also features a popular teen activity on Snapchat, anonymous Q&As. It jumped three ranks overnight from Monday to Tuesday, in fact. 57 on the App Store's list of top free apps. In other words, Snap's suspension hasn't stamped out demand for anonymous Snapchat Q&A apps, it only crowned a new app as the market leader. Most of these reviews are positive, saying the app is like "Yolo but better," for instance. But in the days that followed the suspension, "yolo" has become the second-most-used keyword in Sendit's user reviews, Apptopia told TechCrunch.

What happened to Degrassi: Next Class on Netflix?įor some fans, they hoped that Netflix would eventually give us a fifth season of the show.

Of course, just because it’s not leaving now doesn’t mean it could never leave. The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Next Class is not included as part of any HBO Max deal.

It turned out she had a roundworm in her intestines that she got from eating raw fish. For example, last year a New York woman underwent an operation for what doctors thought was appendicitis. These can sometimes cause illness in humans. Because it has been over a week since your unappetizing experience, it's extremely unlikely you have anything to worry about at this point.īesides cod worms, other types of worms have been found in raw fish. The severe abdominal pain generally leads to surgery, where the worm is then discovered. There, it produces symptoms resembling appendicitis, usually within a week of eating infected fish. In others, it can burrow into the small intestine. In a few people, however, a worm will burrow into the stomach, causing pain, nausea and vomiting, usually within 12 hours of ingestion. Most of the time, the worm will simply crawl up the esophagus (food tube leading to the stomach), where it is coughed out. In such cases, two kinds of problems can develop. Some people have been unfortunate enough to eat fish with live worms in them. Chances are you had a cod fillet sandwich containing tiny worms that had already been killed by freezing, cooking or both. But if you refrigerate a fish whole before cleaning it, the worms will have a chance to bore into the flesh of the fish.įreezing a fish for 24 to 72 hours at minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit or cooking it to 140 degrees F for at least 10 minutes will kill any living worms. The reason is that the worms live in the intestines of the fish and would be removed by cleaning. If the fish is freshly caught and immediately filleted, however, you won't run into this problem. If you eat fish raw or undercooked, you run a very small risk of infection with one of these worms. Raw eel and squid also can carry these worms, which grow up to an inch or so in length. But if you like sushi, don't give up hope - all is not lost.Ĭod worms can infect various saltwater fish, especially cod, Pacific rockfish (also called Pacific red snapper), whiting, mackerel, haddock, herring and salmon. Once a problem in Japan and other countries where raw fish is popular, fish worms are being seen more and more in America. Known as cod worms or herring worms, they technically belong to the anisakis family of worms. You probably came across a type of worm that infects certain saltwater fish. Chances are, you're not going to suffer any problems other than an unpleasant memory. ![]() Am I going to become infected with them? Are they harmful? Do I need to do anything about them, or is it too late?Ī. ![]() They sure were worms, and I get sick to my stomach just thinking about it. My boyfriend told me they were just part of the fish, but I took them to a biology teacher I know who looked at them under the microscope. I was eating a fish sandwich in a cafeteria when I looked down and noticed some small white worms in the fish. ![]() ![]() I suppose they found the glare to other drivers objectionable.īefore I continue further, I just purchased my 2018 Ford Edge on December 14, 2018. ![]() However, I found the HID headlights in the Sport are really very powerful and shine a long way. One comment about the IIHS safety ratings. However, if you can get a good discount like I did (about $40000), it starts to seem like a good deal when you see a fully loaded compact SUV like the Honda CRV or Toyota RAV4 can be $35000. The interior is not as refined and luxurious as luxury vehicles that are in the 50000 to 60000 range. I think if I paid full price, (close to $50000) I would feel that the value would not be there. There have been no maintenance issues except for a cracked side window due to a rock. On the other hand, the service was very cheap. Even though there were 10 lanes, the wait time was very long even early in the morning. Ford has separated its service into Quick Lane (routine maintenance) and everything else. I had my first maintenance at 5000 miles (although the first recommend service is at 10000 miles). So far I'm getting over 23 mpg, with about 70% freeway miles. The gas mileage is good, especially for a vehicle of this size and level of performance. The seats are a little too narrow, they cannot go as low as I would like, and thigh support is somewhat lacking. It can be hard to find a comfortable seating position even though it is 10 way adjustable. (5) The interior is very monochromatic so it's a little on the dull side. (3) There is a bit of a learning curve with such a huge amount of tech. It's hard to tell where the front bumper is. (4) The vehicle is really wide and the turning radius is only so-so. There is too much hard plastics in the center console. (3) The dash is really gigantic and somewhat unattractive. (2) The turning radius is pretty poor and makes parking harder than it needs to be. It is probably very durable but it feels very rough and out of place in a nearly $50000 vehicle. Top things I don't like: (1) The quality of the steering wheel leather is really poor. The air conditioning is very powerful and works quickly. (10) The cooled seats have been a blessing in the summer. It is nice that it still has a CD player also. (9) The Sony stereo system is actually pretty good and well above average. A surround view system would still be preferable. The sensors do respond slowly so you have to park slowly for them to be effective. However, the cameras (front and rear) and the 12 parking sensors are a tremendous aid once you get used to them. The vehicle is very wide, the steering radius is quite large, and the front hood makes it difficult to judge where the front of the vehicle is. The dash display with two color graphical displays surrounding the speedometer, and the Sync 3 system is very responsive (touch sensitive). (7) All the gadgets are great (blind spot, rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise, lane keeping assist, Apple carplay, hands-free liftgate, automatic parallel and perpendicular parking). It has way more room than compact SUV's but is still small enough for easy entry and for fitting in a small garage. (6) There is a great deal of cargo space and room for rear passengers. There is a little road noise over some surfaces. (5) The vehicle is very quiet with little engine or wind noise. Also, she has to duck her head to get in the sedan. Conversely, sedans also give her problems because she sits too low so she has a difficult time getting out of the seat. My arthritic mother with bad knees and hips has a difficult time climbing into many medium size SUV's but has no problems getting in and out of the Edge. ![]() (4) The seats are a perfect height and the step in height is low. The acceleration, especially in sports mode, is effortless and makes it easy to move in and out of traffic at any speed (3) The panoramic sunroof and power sun shades are gorgeous and really brighten things up. (2) It is a very fast vehicle, easily below 6 seconds in the 0 to 60 measurement. ![]() Things I like: (1) the sport appearance is fantastic, especially in black with black painted 21 inch wheels. The interior refinement is not as good as I would have liked but it is good for the price. Everything works as advertised and the vehicle has a lot of thoughful convenience touches. I got a fully loaded Sport with pretty much with every possible option.Īfter 6 months, I am fairly pleased with the car. Additional car show incentives and being the last day of the month also helped. I received a substantial discount from the MSRP from the dealer. With the new ST months away from release, the Ford dealers are aggressively pricing the sport so it's a great time to buy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hostile ships will frequently attack the player and force them to engage in combat. Waypoints may include stores (which may offer various systems, crew members, weapons, resources and other items in exchange for scrap), distress calls, hostile ship encounters or other various events. The GUI along the top, left, and bottom of the screen indicates the status of the player's ship. The player's ship (left) in combat with an enemy Mantis ship. For example, Rockmen are immune to fire and have high health, but move significantly slower than other species, hindering their ability to respond to crises in time. Each species has different strengths and weaknesses based on their physiology. Members of these species can all be acquired by the player or found manning enemy ships. There are eight different species of crew in the game: Humans, Engi, Zoltan, Mantis, Rock, Slug, Lanius, and Crystal. In later sectors, enemies are tougher and have better weaponry but also yield increased rewards when beaten. ![]() Once a beacon is taken over, jumping to the beacon will result in an encounter with a dangerous elite rebel fighter, while only ever granting the player 1 unit of fuel upon defeat. The player can revisit waypoints, but each warp jump consumes fuel and causes the rebel fleet to advance in each sector, and slowly take over more of the beacons. The player’s ship can accumulate scrap (in-game currency), equipment (ranging from weapons to drones and various ship augmentations) and extra crew members by maximizing the number of beacons (and hence events/other ships) they visit, but each encounter has the potential to deal damage to their ship and/or crew. The player must "jump" the ship between waypoints, normally unaware what awaits at each point, and make headway to an "exit" point leading to the next sector. The game randomly generates eight space sectors similar to roguelike games, with roughly twenty waypoints (called "beacons") in each sector. The final sector ends with a battle against the Rebel Flagship, a multi-stage fight which results in either victory or defeat for the Federation.Īt game start, the player chooses a spacecraft to start with, each one with a different top-down layout and containing a different mix of weapons, systems (piloting, engines, weapons, oxygen, etc.), and crew. The goal is to reach Federation headquarters, waiting several space sectors away, while avoiding destruction from hostile ships or by the pursuing rebel fleet. The player's crew intercepts a data packet from the rebel fleet containing information that could throw the rebels into disarray and ensure a Federation victory. It belongs to the Galactic Federation, which is on the verge of defeat in a war with an exclusively human and xenophobic rebel faction, simply called the Rebellion. The player controls a spacecraft capable of traveling faster-than-light (FTL). FTL is recognized alongside games like Spelunky and The Binding of Isaac as helping to popularize the "rogue-lite" genre that uses some, but not all, of the principles of a classical roguelike. The game received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the game's creativity. An updated version, FTL: Advanced Edition, added additional ships, events, and other gameplay elements, and was released in April 2014 as a free update for existing owners and was put up for purchase on iPad devices. The game, considered one of the major successes of the Kickstarter fundraisers for video games, was released in September 2012 to positive reviews. With positive responses from the players and judges at these events, Subset opted to engage in a crowd-sourced Kickstarter campaign to finish the title, and succeeded in obtaining twenty times more than they had sought the extra funds were used towards more professional art, music and in-game writing. The initial development by the two-man Subset Games was self-funded, and guided towards developing entries for various indie game competitions. The concept for FTL was based on tabletop board games and other non-strategic space combat video games that required the player to manage an array of a ship's functions. ![]() Combat takes place in pausable real time, and if the ship is destroyed or all of its crew lost, the game ends, forcing the player to restart with a new ship. The player must guide the spacecraft through eight sectors, each with planetary systems and events procedurally generated in a roguelike fashion, while facing rebel and other hostile forces, recruiting new crew, and outfitting and upgrading their ship. In the game, the player controls the crew of a single spacecraft, holding critical information to be delivered to an allied fleet, while being pursued by a large rebel fleet. FTL: Faster Than Light is a real-time strategy roguelike game created by indie developer Subset Games, which was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux in September 2012. ![]() ![]() Since then, though, Edwards, who now goes by "Jack K", has been chastised by arresting officer Dean Biron, who claims the meme star jumped bail the next day and disappeared into obscurity until the video "somehow scrubbed clean of that pesky past".įor the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking here.
