![]() ![]() The Vocal Character Series was designed to be a set of vocals with specific characteristics to them her software allows for manipulation in a variety of ways while maintaining a 'cute' sounding voice. The first release for the the Vocal Character series, Hatsune Miku was the first VOCALOID developed by Crypton Future Media and the third they would distribute. Here's a demo of it playing (read: murdering) Parisienne Walkways, with apologies to G. But there's potential here - boosting or distorting the unit could make for some interesting sounds, and it makes a change from the usual run of talk boxes. Is it worth buying? It's entertaining for sure, and absolutely hysterical on first hearing. It only works for Japanese lyrics though. It sounds a little like an old ZX Spectrum loading. You can download your own phrases too if you have an iPhone / iPad - you put the device into standby mode by holding the pedal down, and then hold the iPhone's speaker next to the pickup. The final three settings are phrases - each subsequent note triggers the next syllable in the phrase. The infamous Nyan setting comes next - this one triggers a 'yum' phrase of fixed duration, regardless of how long you hold a note. The first two settings are random phoneme and vowel sounds, followed by a selection of oohs and aahs. The sounds themselves are interesting once you've got past the hilarity of hearing the thing for the first time. Bends and vibrato do track very well, though. It's monophonic only, and you'll get some unexpected results if you try and play anything approaching quickly. The tracking is not perfect, and a little slow, but if you play cleanly you should be okay it's a bit like playing one of the early Roland bass synths. Setting up is a little fiddly you have to establish your peak and then play consistently to avoid mistriggers. The guitar provides a reference pitch only to trigger the effect - there's no tonal input from the guitar. It's very firmly boutique, with a graphic of Miku-chan on the front, and possibly the only pedal you'll ever encounter that has a 'Nyan' setting. ![]() Hatsune Miku is a virtual singer who tours as a hologram and is apparently immensely popular not only in Japan, but all over the world. If you didn't know already, it's a Vocaloid in a pedal, featuring the voice of Hatsune Miku. Transcending mere weirdness, the Korg Miku Stomp soars straight into the heady clouds of complete insanity. ![]()

Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 140F for medium (medium is 145F the temperature will rise another 5 degrees with carryover heat). Move chops to the medium heat rotate 90 degrees for crosshatch marks. ![]() Place chops on the high heat side for two minutes to sear the meat, flip and sear the other side for two minutes. ![]() For charcoal grills, this means fewer coals on the lower heat side. Set up grill for direct heat grilling with two zones: high heat and medium heat. Let sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes to take the chill off the meat. Remove the chops from brine and rinse with cold water to remove any excess salt from the surface of the meat. Soak the chops in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours (6 to 12 hours if brining tenderloins). Pour in the brine mixture to cover the chops (you may have to use a small plate to weigh them down. Place chops in single layer in a shallow baking dish or another container or resealable plastic bag large enough to hold the chops. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 4 cups of water. Stir over medium-high heat until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Here are the ingredients and step by step guides to cooking pork top loin chops: Ingredients: 1 pork top loin chop.Four 1-inch thick pork loin or rib chops.Here is a great brine recipe that works well with four to six 1-inch thick chops or a few 1-pound pork tenderloins. The more moisture that is in the meat when it hits the grill, the more moisture is in the meat when you are finished cooking = juicy and tender! Brines work by breaking down some of the muscle tissue and helping the meat to draw in moisture. Without getting too much into the science, soaking the pork in a salt water will increase the amount of moisture in the meat – this is very important in such a lean cut of meat. The loin chop has a T-shaped bone and has the same benefits as a T-bone steak – a nice piece of pork loin with the bonus of some juicy tenderloin.Īnother trick to producing tender juicy pork chops is to brine them. Next, buy chops that have the bone still attached – loin chops and rib chops are a griller’s best friend. The bone not only adds flavor, but it also helps to keep the chop nice and juicy. Any thinner than that and it’s cooked through before you can get any grill marks on it. So how do you keep your chops nice and juicy? First, don’t buy thin-cut chops!Pork chops should be about 1-inch thick. Pork chops, themselves come in a variety of cuts and names, including loin, rib, sirloin, top-loin and blade chops. The loin section is a strip of meat that runs from the shoulder to the hip. Another big reason is that the pigs themselves are much leaner than they were years ago.īutcher’s Lesson: Pork chops are undoubtedly the most popular cut from the pig’s loin section. Well, those reasons really don’t exist anymore, so it is perfectly fine to grill your pork to medium… I actually prefer mine a little pink – cooked but with a little blush. There was a time when, for food safety reasons, we were taught to cook pork well-done. Why do they so often turn out dry, tough and flavorless? There are a few reasons, but most often is because they are overcooked. Meanwhile, heat a little vegetable oil, maybe two tablespoons, or a little butter (or both) in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. You can be very generous with the seasonings. Before frying pork chops, first salt and pepper them on both sides. Well-done (160☏ 71☌): The meat is completely well-done, with a texture that's reminiscent of the pork chops I ate as a kid, albeit juicier than if they were cooked via more traditional methods.A big challenge facing a lot of grillers is how to cook tender juicy pork chops. Here's how to cook pork chops on the stove.The pork will still be flavorful, but it'll have lost a lot of its tenderness by this stage. Medium-well (150☏ 66☌): The muscle fibers continue to toughen up and expel juices. ![]() They come out extremely juicy and tender, but have a natural meaty bite to them, without the off-putting slipperiness of 130☏ meat. This is my favorite temperature for pork chops. You lose a bit of juice due to this tightening, but what you lose in juice, you gain in tenderness.

You get a keyboard that feels great to type on, and although the touchpad is on the smaller side, it's responsive to all movements and gestures. Like most budget laptops, the display doesn't get very bright and looks washed out, but images and text still look decently sharp, and you get plenty of space for multitasking. The battery lasts easily through a typical day of light use and charges over USB-C. You can only get a maximum of 4GB of memory, so it isn't the best option for heavy multitaskers. Its Intel Core i3 CPU is getting long in the tooth but still fast enough to provide a smooth experience on Chrome OS. This 2-in-1 convertible feels well-built and is easy to carry around. If you want to spend as little as possible, the best cheap Chromebook we've tested is the Lenovo Chromebook C340 15 (2020). However, if you mainly use the device for media consumption, the Lenovo comes out ahead. If you plan on using the laptop for work or school, the Acer is a better option because you get a larger screen and a better keyboard. One thing to note is that the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 (2022) we recommend above is on sale at the same price as the Duet 5. The display supports pen input if you want to take notes or draw, but you have to buy the stylus separately. ![]() The battery lasts around eight hours of video playback or 10 hours of light use, and it charges over USB-C, so you don't have to deal with a proprietary charger. However, they don't have much bass and sound slightly unnatural. It's sharp, bright, and colorful, and like all OLEDs, it displays deep, inky blacks. The feature that makes this device stand out is its OLED display. You can pop the keyboard back on when you need to type something out, although the keyboard itself feels cramped, so it isn't the best for typing long essays. This form factor lets you take the keyboard off when viewing content, which is convenient in tight spaces like an airplane, and it also makes the device easier to hold and use as a tablet. Our budget pick is the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 (2021), a 13-inch Chrome OS tablet with a kickstand and detachable keyboard. Unfortunately, there's no fingerprint sensor or a facial recognition IR camera for quick logins. The webcam is surprisingly good and among the best on the market. Speaking of ports, it has one USB-A, two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4, and an HDMI port. You get all-day battery life and can charge the laptop over USB-C. This model is more than adequate for people with a light workload, although heavy multitaskers might want to look for a model with more memory. CPUs, the Core i5 configuration with 8GB of memory and 128GB of storage is the easiest to find in stock. Spec-wise, while it's available with various Intel 12th Gen. It also supports pen input and comes with a stylus that you can dock into its charging slot for transport. Naturally, since this is a 2-in-1 convertible, you can set it up in tent mode for media consumption or flip the screen around and use it as a tablet. It gets bright enough for use in most indoor settings, and it's flicker-free, which helps reduce eye strain on those long work or school days. ![]() The Spin 714 has a slightly larger 14-inch screen compared to its predecessor, so you get a little more room for multitasking. This model replaces the very popular Acer Chromebook Spin 713 (2020), which we recommend if you want something cheaper. If you don't need a premium laptop and would rather save some money, go with the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 (2022). If you're wondering whether a new model will be out soon, know that Google has put a pause on making new Chromebooks, at least for the foreseeable future, so you likely won't see one coming from the company anytime soon. Fan noise is nonexistent because this is a fanless device. ![]() The main downside is that there are only two USB-C ports, so you'll likely need a dock if you want to plug in multiple peripherals or external displays. Battery life is superb you can easily get through a typical eight-hour school or workday on a full charge. It's available with an Intel Core M3, i5, or i7 processor, which are all powerful enough to handle light tasks like web browsing, text processing, and video playback. You get a 4k display if you opt for the Core i7 model however, the increased resolution will drain the battery much faster. It sports a sharp, touch-sensitive IPS display, a spacious and tactile keyboard, and a large and responsive touchpad. This laptop, on the other hand, feels very premium and sturdy. ![]() Although it was released in 2019, it's still a great choice if you want something high-end, which isn't easy to find because most Chromebooks are more budget-friendly models with a cheap, plastic build.

This is based on Lord Liu Kang response that his friends "are not gone" and will "live again" at the end of MK 11. There's a good chance that many characters will return based on the end of MK 11 in some form once the new game releases. Depending on the direction that this new story takes and the effects that Mortal Kombat 11's conclusion will have on the established timeline, the story can go in almost any direction, and thus the characters can be varied. It's near impossible to predict with certainty which characters will appear in Mortal Kombat 12. Regardless, NetherRealm has refused to comment on the post, so we'll have to wait for the studio to make an official announcement before we know more.

The past few years have been challenging in terms of the development cycle at many studios thanks to COVID-19 and other factors, but now that some form of normality has been restored, we expect a release date announcement very soon. This would fall in line with how NetherRealm releases its games, which are usually on a two-year cycle. A reveal or possible release for Mortal Kombat 12 will likely come in 2023. It is likely that an MK12 will be revealed in 2023 with a 2024/2025 release date window. NetherRealm has yet to announce the game.

![]() It's possible that a dataset with more observations would have resulted in a different conclusion.ĭepending on the test you run, you may see other statistics that were used to calculate the P value, including the mean difference, t statistic, degrees of freedom, and standard error. However, you cannot conclude that there was definitively no difference either. If the test result is larger or equal to your threshold, you cannot conclude that there is a difference. If the test result is less than your threshold, you have enough evidence to conclude that the data are significantly different. Once you have run the correct t test, look at the resulting P value. While P values can be easy to misinterpret, they are the most commonly used method to evaluate whether there is evidence of a difference between the sample of data collected and the null hypothesis. You need to select a significance threshold for your P value (often 0.05) before doing the test. The three different options for t tests have slightly different interpretations, but they all hinge on hypothesis testing and P values. These (and the ultimate guide to t tests) go into detail on the basic assumptions underlying any t test: Here are our analysis checklists for unpaired t tests and paired t tests, which are the two most common. Since t tests compare means of continuous variable between groups, contingency tables use methods such as chi square instead of t tests.īecause there are several versions of t tests, it's important to check the assumptions to figure out which is best suited for your project. In contrast, t tests compare means between exactly two groups.įinally, contingency tables compare counts of observations within groups rather than a calculated average. While t tests are part of regression analysis, they are focused on only one factor by comparing means in different samples.ĪNOVA is used for comparing means across three or more total groups.

If you have already calculated these summary statistics, the latter options will save you time.Ĭhoose a test from the three options: Unpaired t test, Welch's unpaired t test, or Paired t test. The last two are for entering the means for each group, along with the number of observations (N) and either the standard error of that mean (SEM) or standard deviation of the dataset (SD) standard error. The first two options are for entering your data points themselves, either manually or by copy & paste. This will change how section 3 on the page looks. See our video on How to Perform a Two-sample t test for an intuitive explanation of t tests and an example.Ĭhoose your data entry format. The most general formula for a t test is composed of two means (M1 and M2) and the overall standard error (SE) of the two samples: That is different from a one sample t test, which compares the mean of your sample to some proposed theoretical value. This calculator uses a two-sample t test, which compares two datasets to see if their means are statistically different. For example, you might compare whether systolic blood pressure differs between a control and treated group, between men and women, or any other two groups. ![]() It is particularly useful for small samples of less than 30 observations. If you are taking the average of a sample of measurements, t tests are the most commonly used method to evaluate that data. Its focus is on the same numeric data variable rather than counts or correlations between multiple variables.
