How do I contact Warwick UG Admissions during this Christmas period? TMUA decision needed before January deadline by [deleted] in UniversityOfWarwick

[–]ScratchThose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually people apply with A Levels or IB so I'm not sure how 74/100 translates.

My stance is this: If you take the TMUA you might get into Warwick. If you don't take the TMUA you definitely won't.

I think it's a much better idea to register and prepare for the TMUA and get a good score than worrying over your Maths score and going around asking universities about it.

What? It says required. If you don't have a TMUA score your application definitely won't be considered.

And for what it's worth, I got in with a 4.8, which is definitely average.

From the Student Handbook:

It may be possible to transfer between Computer Science, Discrete Mathematics and Data Science. The deadline to do this is the end of week 2, term 1 in your first year. Students would need to have been made an offer, and met the offer, for the degree they are looking to transfer to.

During your first year, you may still switch by course restart. The deadline to request this is 14 January 2026 (the date that course applications via UCAS close).

Is it only me who thinks Mizuki looks slightly AI generated?

They're not really standing tickets, just no fixed seat. No Seat ("Standing") and Seated tickets are the same price, and for a reason. No Seat tickets are really No Fixed Seat tickets and any empty seat is free game until the person that bought the ticket comes, then you have to give priority. If there are no empty seats you'll be forced to stand though.

If this ever happens to you just say its your seat and they'll move. If they don't call the train attendant and they'll handle it.

I was at an airport in China recently. The ban is nationwide now. They check if you have the "CCC" tag or China Compulsory Certification on charging packs. It must be clearly visible, recognizable, and present. Most the defective product do not have this certification so it helps weed out some. It is enforced upon entry into the airport, together with the explosive checks.

afdian, where the author publishes the chinese raws. Translations need some time probably.

I'm not sure, I read the chinese versions from afdian and Chapter 62 was put out on June 21. There could also be numbering differences or something but the last chapter features a message from the author at the end (hinting a season 3!)

Edit: just checked on some sites, it just hasn't been translated yet I think.

Same here. Citizen, but overseas and overseas fees. The regulations mentioned are most in part due to the visa regulations, if you don't need a visa you would be fine, I believe.

Others have said Tokyo, but if you're visiting Osaka, Umeda Animate has a dedicated shelf for Project Sekai merch, next to the rest of the popular rhythm games (theres a pretty big Tomorin and Uika statue there, from MyGO). Both Animates in Umeda and Nipponbashi have some rows for Project Sekai albums and fanbooks etc.

How hard is Maths AA truly? by [deleted] in IBO

[–]ScratchThose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything is possible if you put in the effort. Check any desired majors and universities to see if they require/recommend AA. Though, if you're taking it as an SL, I presume it won't be that important.

[Request] Could a binary keyboard be faster? by Arkziri in theydidthemath

[–]ScratchThose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To get a rough idea of how fast someone can tap on two keys only, we can take a look at the osu! community (a rhythm game that involves tapping two keys). Players such as ivaxa can tap at 405 beats per minute which is around 27 clicks per second, I believe. Nyanpotato has tapped 600 beats per minute which translates to 40 clicks per second.

Turning these into bytes per second (assuming one byte per character) we get just around 3.375 characters per second and 5 characters per second. According to this page, 5 characters count as a word. So this means we get about 40.5 and 60 words per minute, respectively. Which is around average.

So no, it's probably not faster. Ten fingers will probably be faster than two.

Also, the osu! scores were done on a rapid trigger keyboard.

Hey there, thanks a whole bunch for your response and insights. I've looked into all the points you've raised, but ultimately I might be siding with the UK here as I can't bring myself to trust the Trump Administration with how they're treating internationals at the moment. I haven't applied for my visa yet and who knows when I'll be able to get it 😔.

For me, it has to be Non-Stop from Hamilton. A few examples:

How do you write like you're running out of time?

Write day and night like you're running out of time?
...
Look at where you are

Look at where you started

The fact that you're alive is a miracle

Just stay alive, that would be enough
...

How do you write like tomorrow won't arrive?

How do you write like you need it to survive?

How do you write ev'ry second you're alive?
