![]() ( Rout is also a homophone of route when pronounced as \ROWT\). There is also the closely spelled rout that is occasionally mixed-up with both root and route. Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently such being the case, root and route are sometimes confused in writing. In addition, root is a homophone of route (which can be pronounced \ROOT\ or \ROWT\). Homographs are words that are spelled alike but are different in meaning, derivation, or pronunciation-and generally they have their own entries in standard dictionaries. ![]() Uses of the verb root illustrated in the introduction belong to different homographs of the word. Constance Lindsay Skinner, The Tiger Who Walks Alone, 1927 Homophones and Homographs In the yard below the garden, just outside the palm fence at the back, a score of pigs and chickens rooted and pecked. Sports fans have something in common with plants and farm animals-they all "root." Sports fans root for their team (and sometimes remain rooted to their seats in shock after their team just got routed) plants root in soil pigs root-that is, dig with their snouts-for food (this root is applied to other animals, snouted or snoutless, as well-like chickens). There is also the word rout, meaning “defeat,” and is both a noun and verb pronounced \ROWT. Rather than supporting Ukraine's reforms and working to root out corruption, corrupt actors within the prosecutor general's office are making things worse by openly and aggressively undermining reform.There are four distinct words spelled root in the dictionary, beginning with the noun meaning “the anchoring part of a plant” and its related verb meaning “to grow and develop roots.” Another is the verb meaning “to turn up or dig in the earth” or “to poke or dig about.” Finally, root can be used to mean “to cheer” or “to wish the success of something.” Route is a noun meaning “a road or highway” or “a course or line of travel” and a verb meaning “to send or direct to a specific path.” Both of these words can be pronounced either \ROOT\ or \ROWT. It is not so difficult a task to plant new truths, as to root out old errors for there is this paradox in men, they run after that which is new, but are prejudiced in favor of that which is old.

It is really quite shocking how often the federal government retaliates. The federal government has a very poor record of retaliation, we’ve held numerous hearings about this. Ron Johnson believes the whistleblowers could face retribution for the revelation. Instead of trying to improve communications, Ron Johnson said, it appears ICE and its parent agency, DHS, are trying to root out Ron Johnson source.

Oh, by the way, the music he plays with Kamek (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) is once again Super Mario Bros.’s “World 1-2.”Īs soon as Donkey Kong (voiced by Seth Rogen) steps into the arena, we hear the “DK Rap” song that serves as the intro for 1999’s Donkey Kong 64. And when Bowser plays the piano, we can see the musical instrument belongs to Ludwig von Koopa, a member of the Koopa family introduced in Super Mario Bros. In the prison of the floating island, there’s a Lumen, the living star introduced in Super Mario Galaxy. ![]() And while Mario and Luigi use their iconic hats as work uniforms, we get a flashback where we see the classic design of Baby Mario and Baby Luigi wearing the same hats, just like they first did in 1995’s Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island.īowser’s floating fortress comes from 2000’s Paper Mario, the first game to feature what is now a classic location in the Super Mario franchise. He also plays with a faulty flashlight, another nod to the Luigi’s Mansion games. This journey also serves for Peach to show the powers of the Fire Flower power-up, which is part of the franchise since Super Mario Bros.Īs soon as Luigi wakes up in the dark lands, we can hear the theme of Luigi’s Mansion, the soft horror franchise where Green Mario is the star. The troop also walks through the “Sand Kingdom,” one of the largest levels in Super Mario Odyssey. The training montage also serves as the official introduction of the Super Shroom, a power-up that makes Mario grow and become stronger.įinally, when Mario, Luigi, and Toad (voiced by Keegan-Michael Key) travel to Kong Island, they pass through Yoshi’s Island, where we see a herd of Yoshis from every color but green. 2, a movement that because a staple for the character in every other game. Finally, during the training montage, Peach floats to the challenge course just like she did in 1988’s Super Mario Bros. The map in the middle of Peach’s throne room also represents classic franchise locations, such as Yoshi’s Island and a desert-inspired by Super Mario Bros. Inside the castle, we can see paintings representing the levels of Super Mario 64, which is fitting since the player chooses levels by jumping inside the paintings in that game. And behind Mario’s bed, we can see a Falcon poster that nods at the hero of the F-Zero franchise. Over his TV, Mario and Luigi also have a model of the battleship of the Star Fox franchise. Inside the brother’s room, Mario is also seen playing 1986’s Kid Icarus, a platformer inspired by Greek mythology. For starters, the heroes' father is also voiced by Charles Martinet, which is a touching recognition of how the voice actor helped create both characters. Mario and Luigi’s home is also filled with Easter eggs and references. ![]() And when Mario and Luigi are greeted by a crowd of Brooklyn civilians after they win the fight, Nintendo's late president Satoru Iwata is hiding among the other people. At the movie's end, when Mario and Luigi fight Bowser (voiced by Jack Black) in Brooklyn, we can also see a car wash inspired by 1984’s Balloon Fight. And the person giving an interview to say the Brooklyn flooding is under control is Mayor Pauline, who got kidnapped by Donkey Kong in the 1981 game and has recently gone through a revival thanks to 2017’s Super Mario Odyssey, where she became Mayor of New Kong City. For instance, there’s a “Chasse au Canard” French restaurant that pays homage to Duck Hunt when Mario and Luigi go to the sewers. ![]() In other scenes, we can still see Nintendo’s influence in Brooklyn. Playing in the arcade machine is Giuseppe, an energetic character dubbed by Charles Martinet, who’s the voice of Mario and Luigi in the video games. The pizzeria also has a “Jump Man” arcade machine which spoofs 1981’s Donkey Kong, the first game ever to feature Mario, who still didn’t have a name and was called Jump Man. Inside the pizzeria, we can see framed photos of several fighters from multiple Punch-Out games, but there’s also a picture of a duck flying from the grass that references Duck Hunt, the classic NES game in which we used a laser gun to shoot at our TV screen. The movie begins at the Punch-Out Pizzeria, a fictional place that nods at the Punch-Out!! gaming franchise. That doesn’t mean this section of the movie isn’t filled with Easter eggs since we can see Nintendo’s influence everywhere we look. Movie begins, Mario and Luigi are still living in Brooklyn, unaware there’s a magic kingdom populated by living mushrooms and terrifying turtles. ![]() My personal recommendation is to buy the Synology DS218+. The performance is crap.Īs far as what difference it makes for audio, it only matters that the NAS can fetch and send data fast enough for the endpoint not to stutter during playback or have to wait a really long time finding the next song. Just avoid any NAS using an ARM processor. Generally speaking, either would be fine for a 2 bay NAS. Some sellers advertise this number instead, because bigger is better in the minds of customers. You'll also note that each are capable of burst speeds over 2.4Ghz. If transcoding 4k video is important to you, the quad-core processor can't do it. Quad-core should be faster than dual-core, yes? Generally, yes, but the dual-core processor is newer, has more robust graphics processing, and the newer gen architectural improvements might close the gap in performance. The Synology uses Intel Celeron J3355 Dual-core 2.0 GHz. ![]() The QNAP uses a Intel® Celeron® J1900 quad-core 2.0 GHz processor. They should perform the same then, ya? NO. The Synology DS218+ also has a 2.0Ghz processor. It is advertised as having a 2.0Ghz processor. For example, the QNAP TS-251+ is a pretty good home NAS. You really need to know the specific processor that's in there too determine how fast the processor is. Hope it's a little useful!)Ĭlick to expand.Processor speed is misleading. (I don't actually have any experience with this yet, but I've been researching it for a few weeks and have been considering moving my Roon server to a NAS. I think they're exaggerating about needing an i3/i5 instead of a celeron, since Synology says their celeron NASs can do 4k transcoding.I wrote all that and then remembered that Roon had a page on this on their site.Tl dr get an SSD and figure out how much data resilience you need. I guess you could also just put two large SSDs in and RAID them, but that sounds excessive. Roon is sort of unbearably slow without the SSD, so you're looking at either a 2 bay NAS with 1 SSD & 1 data HDD or a 4 bay with the SSD & a pair of RAID1 HDDs. You can usually just buy RAM separately and slot it in, and most entry-level Synology boxes I've seen support at least 6GB. You'll probably want 4+ GB RAM and an SSD for the Roon database.As long as the hard drive & network connection are fast enough, it's unlikely to be the bottleneck.ī) Run the Roon server on the NAS itself: It probably doesn't matter what NAS you use with this route. I've mostly been looking at Synology and Terramaster NAS units so far.Ĭlick to expand.So if you're considering Roon with a NAS, you have a couple options.Ī) Run the Roon server on another computer you have, using the NAS only for storage: Maybe someone can explain this further.īeing a cheap bastard, I guess I'm trying to find out if I could go with one of the cheaper NAS units with "worse" specs, or if I need to spend more to hit some level of minimal requirements that would work significantly better as a music server. "DS218play does not support PLEX" - ok, I googled what PLEX is, but I'm not sure if this is of any benefit to me. ( not to be confused with the computers OS) Is this just marketing BS, or is there anything I should focus on (or avoid) or is it completely irrelevant for audio? Most of the NASs I've looked at mention they're using some specific operating system. What relevance does this have on audio, or is it simply related to how fast tracks can be accessed or multitasking capabilities? What is the difference between DDR3 and DDR3L and does it matter here? Also does the extra GB do much for me? I also googled some of the terms but didn't find anything specific to audio.ġ GB DDR3 vs. I do have some software engineering experience so I know the fundamentals as they apply to general computing, but not as they may relate to audio. I may consider ROON at some time in the future also. In the future I'll probably either build a NUC or find some branded easy solution box to output into a Yggdrasil. But this has become a hassle and I want to consolidate content into a 2 or 4 bay NAS with the primary disc being an SSD. I currently have several older hard drives that I periodically hook via USB to a Mac Mini or a Raspberry Pi. ![]() I'm looking to buy a diskless NAS in the future but am confused by all the specs and how they might be relevant when using the NAS to store FLAC and WAV files and use as a music server. (actually had it, but returned it for a replacement this week, because of an issue, but like the gimbal a lot. I'm also a gimbal user, with the DJI RS2 but also getting the new DJI RS3 mini. ![]() Not cheap, but I plan to buy the Sony 16-35mm F4, which has a power zoom, making it ideal for video and is light weight and reviews state it's a good lens, albeit a bit expensive. My Samyung 12mm is a manual lens, so it doesn't autofocus and I'd be a bit close to set it on one spot. I have a similar situation, having just bough a full frame Sony while still owning my crop sensor Sonys, but I don't plan to video myself while walking, but if I did, I don't own a suitable crop lens that would be wide enough. maybe 12mm, which would be the equivalent of an 18mm in full frame. Since you mentioned you wanted to walk around videoing yourself, you would want a wider lens. So if you buy a crop lens, you would want a wider lens, as when you apply the crop factor, then multiply the stated lens factor by 1.5 to figure out what your equivalent perspective is. What that means is the perspective of the image will be like using 1.5 factor, or a 36mm lens, thus your video image will not be as wide. If you used a 24mm crop lens, then that lens only uses the crop sensor size equivalent of the full frame camera. so if it was a 24mm lens, the perspective of the video frame will be 24mm. One that comes to mind, is if you use a full frame lens, it will actually put the image across the whole full frame, and then downsample it to the video frame size. There are probably lots of technical differences, between shooting video with a full frame lens, versus a crop lens. ![]() I'm not an expert, but I think for what you plan to do, it will be fine. ![]() ![]() Example, diff -rq > ~/Desktop/comparison.txt Ĭlear font caches and databases: sudo atsutil databases -remove or get FontNukeĭiff lets you compare files or folders, diff file-1 file-2 or diff -rq folder-1 folder-2.
