![]() They’re what the average American spends. Keep in mind, these are not recommended budget percentages. The 10 major categories for household expenses and their share of the total expenses for average Americans are: And remember, these are averages, so they could vary a lot based on the size of your household and the cost of living in your part of the country. But where’s all that money going? Let’s take a look at the 10 major categories of household expenses. No surprises here, right? The more people you have living in your home, the more you spend. For married couples with no kids, monthly expenses are $7,111.For single folks, the average monthly expenses are $4,337.The average monthly expenses for a family of four range from $7,875 to $9,168 (depending on the ages of your kids).But that dream comes with a pretty hefty price tag. ![]() Mom, Dad, two kids, one dog, a house and a picket fence-the American Dream. What Are the Average Monthly Expenses by Household Size? Let’s dig into the numbers a little more and see how household size affects average monthly expenses. Don’t settle for normal, because normal is broke, and the average, normal American spends hundreds of dollars a month on credit card and car payments. But when it comes to household expenses, below average is where you want to land. In school, in life and in business, being above average is great. 1īut if you’re budgeting and looking for ways to cut your expenses, don’t settle for average expenses. And they say the average monthly expenses for an American household add up to about $6,081. There are folks at the Bureau of Labor Statistics who keep track of what Americans spend on everything from cereal to housing. After all, if you have kids, you’re guaranteed to spend more on milk and cereal than Phil and Janice, the retired couple next door. News flash-everyone’s situation is different. As you look for ways to cut costs, you’re probably wondering, What are the average American’s monthly expenses? Is everyone spending this much on food? Money’s tight for just about everybody right now (thanks, inflation). You can see the above tables looks simple to make various combinations and assign them to any game server.īut let’s assume out of the 10 level 5 players, six of them are interested in DeathMatch at that point in time and only four players are interested in Capture the Flag Mode. Out of these 200 players, let’s assume we have these following characteristics Making 10 players in each game server with two opposite teams playing a match. Let’s assume we have 200 players logged in at one point in time and we can allocate 5 people in each team. But I’ll explain how we can create logic in OpenMatch to create groups of players and allocate gameserver containers on demand from the Agones system for different groups of players. I am not going to re-code the xonotic game to make it modular. These things needs to be stripped out of the actual game servers and make match-making logic out of the gameservers to enhance player experience. Player levels or experience is not considered to enable ideal matchmaking with similar levels or choice of game mode to create intense game matches.It doesn’t do any kind of matchmaking with teams and those public servers are always sitting idle, less players are engaged in each of those servers.The xonotic executable itself has all the necessary configurations to run own server or join existing public game servers but still it lacks a strong community of players. There are many public servers already in the multiplayer menu in the xonotic game and it doesn’t seem much different than a standalone server. In the above step we only created one game server with a single container and we are the only player in the server. Let’s look at how these two open source tools from Google help us with this. This is what I embraced in games such as Tanki Online, which I used to play years ago and such strategies are followed in latest popular mobile games such Walking War Robots (it has more combinations of parameters though which makes it more interesting). We should also be able to create right teams as players login as quickly as possible and allocate a game servers to those ideal teams. Similarly high experience players will not find game challenging at all which is really important to keep players experience interesting. If your game allocations involve high experience players and low experience players in the same game session it is highly probable low experience players will find the game disadvantaging and will never comeback. Players ranking, experience and weapons are also important parameters. There are different Maps which has its own advantages and disadvantages in each game mode. For example, Deathmatch is where teams win when they make more kills, Capture the Flag is where teams win if they capture more flags. Xonotic has different game modes and almost every massively multiplayer online game would have something similar. Let me explain what I mean by combinations using parameters. I believe this would be the ideal game with minimum parameters (game modes and maps) to create different combinations for game players to create a game session for players in a multiplayer game scenarios. There are various weapons, game modes and maps. Xonotic is an arena style first person shooter game, you can either play in local mode or join any of the community servers to play online. I’ll use an open source game called Xonotic to explain how Agones and OpenMatch can embrace similar kind of games among more players communities. This would enable us to enhance player communities. OpenMatch will help to customise the gaming community experience with match-making, ranking allocations among players and game strategy choice. Here’s how the Google tech addresses these considerations.Īgones Game Server will help to run game servers at scale managing the cost and low latency allocation of game servers as containers in Kubernetes. When running Game Servers, one needs to consider running them at scale, optimising cost and enhancing the experience of players with quickest game server allocation, ease of matchmaking and strong player community. Google, through its initiative, has released two open source frameworks for running gaming platforms at scale in Kubernetes.Īt the Google Cloud Summit Sydney in 2019, the Kasna team demonstrated these two tools to the crowd, and here we share what we created. ![]() Kasna cloud engineer Sai Maduri elaborates on a kube demo running Agones and OpenMatch that he built for the Google Cloud Summit Sydney.Īs we all embrace Kubernetes for its extensibility and open source community, now it’s also enabling gaming platforms under its hood. ![]() While working at Xerox PARC in the early 1980s, he invented the basic cut, copy, and paste commands we still use today, as well as several other industry-standard processes and terms.Ĭheers, Larry, and thanks for everything.

There's a very convenient way to do this available since the Gimp v.2.10:ĭouble click on the layer you want to move (or right click on it If you want to follow this design principle specifying exact coordinates one by one becomes just a tedious labour. I think this is why gimp does not include a tool to specify the exact coordinates. Reducing the number of alignments (guides) helps you getting a cleaner design. One of the design principle is that you should have things align in your whole project. Gimp will give you a hand with the exact pixels. Drag down (starting from the left ruler) a guide to the X coordinate you want.Drag down (starting from the top ruler) a guide to the Y coordinate you want.Repeat the procedure for another horizontal or vertical Guide (you can also do more guides to specify width and height)Īlternatively, you can also create the guides dragging from the rulers:.Specify if you want and horizontal or vertical guide.Anyway, the best (correct) approach is with guides: It is simply not the appropriate way of aligning elements when you are designing, though I recognize that sometimes it is useful as a short-cut. I am afraid that Gimp doesn't include it because it is tedious. ![]() So, skip the defrosting hassle and make your next chicken dish with frozen chicken breast in the air fryer. Remember to experiment with different seasonings and marinades to cater to your unique taste. With this quick and easy method, you’ll have a delicious meal on the table in no time. The possibilities are endless!Įnjoy the convenience of cooking frozen chicken breast in the air fryer, minimizing prep time and maximizing flavor. Serve your cooked air fryer chicken breast as the main course, slice it for a salad topping, or even use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps. Add the mayonnaise, pickle juice, parsley and garlic to a small bowl and stir to combine. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more succulent and flavorful chicken. Preheat the air fryer to 380☏ (mine needs 5 minutes to preheat). Once the frozen chicken breast reaches the desired temperature, it’s important to let it rest for a few minutes. The chicken is safe to eat when it reaches 165☏ (74☌). ![]()

(Though refrigeration and demand have meant many sake brewers wait longer for the perfect flavor, and some release earlier to meet demand). Akiagari (秋あが) is pasteurized for a second time at the end of summer, but otherwise the two follow the same brewing schedules and are both traditionally released in the fall. Having been brewed in winter, pasteurized and aged over spring and summer before being ready in fall, hiyaoroshi (冷やおろし) is a delicious seasonal treat you should keep an eye out for. One of the true tastes of Japan, sake (or nihonshu as it is called here), has its seasonal turns as well. ![]() This is a good one to look out for when you have a simple lunch set ( teishoku) in traditional restaurants.Īny sake fans out there? | Photo by /taka4332 On the small side and with a flavor similar to herring or sardines, sanma is best served simply - grilled whole with salt, a side of daikon radish, and a slice of lemon. Known in English as Pacific saury, sanma (秋刀魚) are abundant in fall. Where to find yakiimo: Aside from yakiimo trucks, check your local convenience store or supermarket (or even Don Quijote store) - they often have them cheaper than the carts (albeit with less charm). Sweet potato is also a flavor you’ll find in everything from potato chips to pastries, come autumn in Japan! Perfect as they are with a natural creaminess or even better with a little butter, salt and pepper, you can make them at home if you’re lucky enough to have a small oven. There is also a rusty-orange variety with golden flesh. The potato is often purple on the outside and yellow (or purple!) on the inside, with a sweet, unique flavor. A warm and simple snack. | Photo by Lily Crossley-Baxter |
