Do the hair physics in Enhanced seem reduced to anyone else?

Hair physics in Enhanced seem severely reduced to me, long hair like the long braid and the high pony tails no longer blow in the wind nor to do they wave around as you move. They act like they are being held in place by their ends. There is a little movement in the body of the hair but none at the end.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it a bug or did they intend to reduce the hair physics?

Inconsistent Internet Speed Across Multiple Devices on 1 Gig Plan

My landlord recently upgraded our internet to a Xfinity 1 gig plan. But since the upgrade we have seen inconsistent internet speeds across multiple devices. Which I have been trying to correct.

There are 5 people in the house with at least 15 devices connected to the wifi. We have seen speeds ranging as low as 60 Mbps to as high as 1000 Mbps.

Some times my PC will read speeds close to 1000 Mbps, while my phone reads 350Mbps, and my landlord's PC reads 250Mbps. Then at other times my phone reads 900 Mbps, my PC 100Mbps, and my landlord's PC 300Mbps. Though My PC might also read 650Mbps, while my phone reads 350Mbps, while my landlord's PC reads 250Mbps.

These readings occurred within minutes of each other. Both PC's and their antennas remained in the same spot while the phone's readings were taken from next to both PCs and little difference was seen between the phone's readings at either location. My PC is on the second floor just across the hall from the router, while my Landlord's PC is on the main floor, just a little further from the router than my PC.

Any idea what might be causing the inconsistent internet speeds?

Conan Exiles Enhanced Looks Good But Some Changes Could Make It Look Better

Conan Exiles Enhanced looks good. I like the increased detail and most of the improved textures, but a few tweaks could make it look even better. At the moment, all buildings, both player made and fixed, are mostly evenly lit inside no matter how closed up they are. Which can ruin the atmosphere. If Skylight Leaking was turned off, like the "Skylight Leaking Disabled" Mod, it could go along way in improving the player's ability to build buildings with more distinct atmospheres. Though some fixed locations would need a few new light sources to even out their lighting.

All example pictures were taken at dusk with time frozen. All image sets go in the order, Skylight leaking on, Skylight leaking off, and side by side comparison. I choose a variety of location that show both the advantages and disadvantages of turning off Skylight leaking.

(WIP)

I've been working on a fantasy world with highly fragmented continents and a greenhouse climate like Late-Cretaceous Earth. My goal is to create an extremely ecologically diverse world that is plausible enough that it feels grounded. I do not need it to be perfectly accurate.

I've included in order a map of the topography, the tectonics, the prevailing winds, the ocean currents, the climates if Earth-like, and the climates if greenhouse as intended.

What do you all think?

Should I make the islands of the center continent mostly hot steppe instead of desert?

Should I add a small tropical rainforest to the equatorial west coast of the northern east continent?

Over the past few months I have experienced strange issues with my 06 Lincoln Town Car. Sometimes my car will stall and power steering will cut out while driving. Yet my car restarts with no issue. More frequently my car will be slow to start, sometimes taking a few seconds. Though this usually only occurs after the car has been parked for a short time, under 30 min. It rarely occurs when the car has been parked for hours. Also, frequently the doors either do not automatically lock or unlock.

I checked the codes with my OBDII scanner but I get large amount inconsistent codes. Usually codes for the control modules, brakes, steering, and more. Though sometimes there are no codes at all, even after it stalls.

I checked the battery and checked for shorts. But the battery is still good, though getting old. And I found no shorts.

About a month ago, I applied dielectric grease to the plugs of the main control module and most of the issues stopped for a month, until today. My car did stall for a month until today. The car was only occasionally slow to start and only after it had been parked for a short time. And the automatic locks mostly worked.

Any ideas what might be causing this issue?

(This is a hypothetical question, I have no intention to build such a dangerous device)

Would it be hypothetically possible to make a pulse jet power jetpack that could allow someone to jump/fly up a 100 plus foot high cliff or wall?

Say to small, roughly backpack sized pulse jets with a small fuel tank turned into to a backpack. Could they produce enough thrust?

What issues would this have? Would the vibrations shack the user out of their wits or harm them further? The user would definitely need hearing protection. Would it be too hot with them that close to the body?
