Yellow boxes boost efficiency by 15% (costs x0.85) and yellow knights boost efficiency by 13% (costs x0.87), meaning all things being equal, yellow boxes should be preferred over yellow knights. It’s for this reason that you’ll generally be better off alternating speed and productivity tiles throughout your maps, assuming your factories are not either speed capped or at a very low base productivity. For example, a blue box and a purple box affecting the same factory (assuming it’s not speed capped) would multiply overall production by 1.4*1.3=1.82. This means if you have a factory that only produces 1 item per bar fill, you’ll need to raise the productivity multiplier to a total of at least 2 in order to see an actual difference in productivity.īlue and purple beacons work together multiplicatively. While purple beacons are not subject to a cap like blue beacons, purple beacons are subject to breakpoints, particularly for new tiers of factories or juices. This means adding a second purple beacon provides a slightly smaller benefit than the first purple beacon does. Multiple purple beacons on the same tile stack additively, meaning a purple box and a purple knight hitting the same tile would cause productivity to be multiplied by (1+(.3+.35))=1.65. Purple boxes boost productivity by 30% and purple knights boost productivity by 35%, meaning all things being equal, purple knights should be preferred over purple boxes. Once a factory is at its speed cap, additional speed boosts are wasted on the factory. Blue beacons are also subject to a speed cap, which is different for each factory. This means adding a second blue beacon provides a slightly smaller benefit than the first blue beacon does. ![]() Multiple blue beacons on the same tile stack additively, meaning a blue box and a blue knight hitting the same tile would cause speed to be multiplied by (1+(.4+.35))=1.75.

The approximate corresponding dry temperature that we all know of today should have been around 30-40☌ depending on the humidity that prevailed in Madras at the time, the COMK stated. And hourly temperature observations from March and April 1815 showed that temperatures during that period were pretty much normal for that time of the year. The weather bloggers, who specialise in Chennai weather, dug out the meticulously maintained meteorological observations by John Goldingham - the first official astronomer of Madras Observatory. Separating facts from fictionĬhennaiyil Oru Mazhaikkaalam (COMK), which translates to Rainy Season in Chennai, was quick to point out that neither the book that the report was based on, nor the actual report had backed their claims with real temperature data. But like us, many weren’t entirely sold on the whole Madras being frozen drivel, and it was subsequently scrutinised by the amateur weather bloggers of COMK. Sounds pretty legit, doesn’t it? We almost believed it too. The book Tambora: The Eruption That Changed the World, which the newspaper heavily relied on for its story, suggested that trade winds carried the resulting dust veil to the Indian Ocean within days.Īnd two weeks after the volcanic eruption, Madras was probably the first to feel the chill thanks to the aerosols produced in the volcanic eruption, which absorb heat from the Sun and the Earth. The reported death toll in the immediate vicinity ranges from 10,000-100,000. And on April 10, 1815, lava burst forth from it with such ferocity that the explosion, heard 2,000 km away, likely killed thousands. While this may sound like hogwash, readers gobbled up the idea of The Great Chennai Freeze, especially since the famed newspaper backed the outlandish claims with evidence of a volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora in distant Indonesia.Īccording to The Hindu, this Mount Tambora was the tallest peak in the archipelago, rising to 4,300 m. ![]() Today marks the 208th year anniversary of modern-day Chennai recording a temperature of -3☌ and witnessing snowfall - or so we’ve been led to believe.įor the unversed, in 2015, The Hindu published a report stating that 200 years ago, Madras recorded a morning temperature of 11☌ on April 24, and it subsequently plummeted to -3☌ by Friday, April 28! But there is a point to this hang in there. If you’re reading this article sitting under the scorching sun somewhere in Chennai as sweat trickles down your forehead, the title will probably make you wistfully scoff at the ridiculousness of it all. ![]() In the Excel worksheet, the first row must contain field names such as FirstName, LastName, Company, Address and so on.

Have you been following the protests in Portland? And during an appearance on The Tonight Show, you famously launched one of the first artistic broadsides against then President-elect Trump in 2016 right after the election. Walker: You’ve never been one to shy away from political and social current events. It’s just kind of crazy just how things change in the city. I was just there yesterday and I literally saw, like, five new buildings that I hadn’t seen last month. It’s not like I stay months away from Portland. Walker: When you come back to visit your family, what are your impressions of the area?Īminé: You know, I go back to Portland very frequently. You never, as a minority, you never felt welcome or felt like you belong there. I mean, I lived in a very Black neighborhood, but throughout the years it got very gentrified and things changed. What was your experience like growing up here?Īminé: It was OK. You were born and raised in Portland and went to Benson High. Walker: “Woodlawn” also prominently references your home neighborhood of Woodlawn Park. But it isn’t the main focus of the album. So that was definitely something I wanted to touch on. So, um, seeing him die was tragic, you know, for me and my friends. And for me, he was like a second dad that I saw on TV. You reference his influence mostly on the song “Woodlawn.” Why Kobe?Īminé: Kobe just affected every kind of young Black man in America who played sports. Walker: I think being jolted by a moment is not uncommon in your 20s or 30s, but one catalyst for you on this album seems to have been the death of Kobe Bryant. I thought I wanted to make something that I could play formy kids 10 years from now and listen to it and smile because what I say in a song really happened. That to me is what makes somebody’s legacy really cool and something that would last forever, when you could just be honest. I was inspired by a lot of albums, but one that inspired me a while ago was “4:44” by Jay-Z where I got to hear this veteran and one of the all-time greatest rappers alive be brutally honest in his music. When I started making “Limbo” I though a lot about legacy. I think it takes a lot of guts for an artist to just be honest like this on an album, because you don’t get to hear that that much in 2020 at least from a hip-hop perspective. I’m kind of 26 years old, going through a quarter-life crisis, just becoming an adult, really coming into my own. Walker: I don’t mean this in a bad way, but I think you sound a little lost - maybe existentially - on some of these songs.Īminé: I do feel lost. Thank you so much for taking the time to chat with me today. ![]() Jerad Walker: I’m here with Adam Aminé Daniel, better known as Aminé, whose new album “Limbo” came out last month via Republic Records. Listen to the interview above or read the full transcript below. The joyful quirkiness is still there, but on the album’s 13 songs (and one skit) it’s tempered with a healthy dose of what the musician refers to as “brutal honesty.” While that turn is certainly a sign of the distressing times we live in, Aminé also hinted at a deeper, existential cause in a recent conversation with opbmusic that also touched on his complicated relationship with Portland, his thoughts on the city’s protest movement, and the early musical influence of spending Sunday mornings with his parents.Īminé will be the musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC this Thursday, Sept. On “Limbo,” that’s where he firmly plants his flag, establishing himself as one of the Northwest’s finest musical exports along the way. ![]() But it was his ability to deftly mix serious social commentary with irreverent humor and an almost unsinkable buoyancy that hinted at greater staying power. The songs on his debut record were marked by catchy, keys-driven beats and the kind of cutting pop culture references that involuntarily curl the corners of your mouth. Propelled forward by the summertime jam “Caroline,” he existed in a ( mostly yellow) technicolor world. In many ways, he was made for this moment.įour years ago, Aminé experienced a meteoric rise, almost entirely bypassing Portland’s local music scene on the way to mainstream success. COVID-19 has killed nearly 200,000 Americans, civil unrest has gripped his hometown for months, and wildfires are burning largely unchecked throughout much of the West, including the musician’s adopted home in Southern California.īut coming from the Portland-born rapper, it’s entirely plausible. ![]() It’s a bold proclamation given the current state of the country.
