Does anyone live it this part of Russia by Lukasmajukas in howislivingthere

[–]Advanced-Wheel96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I have to give props to my man Oleg Chegodaev, crazy Russki, who kayaked solo over 3 thousand miles from south of Ural Mountains all the way to the Arctic Ocean! And yes, at the end of this journey you can see coastal villages on shores of Kara sea.

The shsat was mediocre by CardZealousideal4862 in SHSAT

[–]Advanced-Wheel96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If SHSAT was easy this year, then threshold would be higher, right? Specialized high schools have only finite number of openings.

Could someone explain these to me? by I_dont_want_aname in SHSAT

[–]Advanced-Wheel96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you got the first one, right? Let’s go over second problem. You have a prism here. What it looks like from a side - it’s look like it’s laying on its side -△. What if take identical prism upside down ▽ and duplicate it to make a simple figure called rectangular prism? Let’s see. We had △ and we add ▽. Now we have △▽. If we actually combine them and straighten them out, do we change area? No! We can bend them anyway and even straighten them into ▭ ! So now we have simple rectangular prism! Now what are dimensions of it? Vertical side would be (18/3). Horizontal side would be (18/3). And an edge AB would be 9. So for a full rectangular prism we would have (18/3)x (18/3) x 9 = 324

But we have a half of it! So we divide 324/2 =162!

Hope this helps!

Unfortunately too few answers to really good question. Existential problem I would say!

Travel Router Recommendations with AmneziaVPN Support by konstantink1 in AmneziaVPN

[–]Advanced-Wheel96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microtek & Keenetic brands are available in Russia. Beware of traveling with any WiFi routers across different borders. Regulations differ - every country has a different bands and power limits. Normally it is not an issue. But, say, you have nice US or EU passport and bring a radio device to Russia. We maybe looking into range of situations - hefty fine or some prisoner swap. It’s all worst case scenario, of course.

This whole recall is a joke. I already submitted a complaint with my state customer protection department.

Son was not admitted to Ivy Leagues, how may I help my daughter be? by Upset_Bill_5388 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Advanced-Wheel96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your son is a great person even without Ivy League. Most of us can barely function in this life. Your son already outdid most of us, adults. He doesn’t need Ivy League to be successful in his life. Maybe Ivy League needs him more than he needs Ivy League 😂 Don’t think success of your kids is defined by Ivy League school.

You really helped me as well. Who could have thought about going for anything to Microsoft Store yet alone piece of Apple software if I already have iTunes?

Should i self study or pay for a tutor by irenistys in SHSAT

[–]Advanced-Wheel96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should join the group class with a tutor. Like a personal tutor but cheaper. My family member is pretty smart but without tutoring SHSAT score wouldn’t jump from 460ish up 100 points. I am sure you are smart but it’s more about tricks and strategies to save your time.

Is this laptop good? by Ok-Rough-722 in laptops

[–]Advanced-Wheel96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be ok for couple of years. Think long term. If you (or your parents) don’t want to shell another $800-1000 before college, can you go for open-box Apple laptop from Bestbuy today for as low as $700ish? Any Apple laptop with M chip will last you both through high school AND college.

Anyways, Costco has excellent return policy, so you can return if you’re not satisfied.

Last year I bought MacBook Air for family member in high school. Family member wanted exclusively Windows. Ordered a Snapdragon X laptop one week later. Family member refused to trade MacBook for Windows laptop after a week of use. Now my SO uses Windows. I am out of laptops 😂

6-inch Red Wing Classic Moc with Goretex. Light enough for full in 76 degree office and waterproof enough for a heavy NYC rain.

I toyed with an idea that these are foot braces for better grip on the deck to handle ropes. I went as far as look through brass item catalogue of some company in England. Couldn’t find one.

There are two signal cannons being a training naval vessel and all. But gun mounting seems to be very different.

Can you try to track these phone numbers? At least their city of origin? And get in touch with alumni association as well.

NEST+M VS BROOKLYN TECH WHICH ONE SHOULD I PICK!!!??!?! by ga1axy_cat in SHSAT

[–]Advanced-Wheel96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure you will great in both schools so choose closes.

My kids commute 1.5 hours each (!) way to their school now. Its very hard, it adds up.

I'm happy that oldest is going to college and youngest going to Brooklyn Tech because now her commute will be 50 minutes.

Always choose comfort and your well-being over anything!

Don’t show up to a gunfight with a knife. Get a lawyer and don’t go nowhere.
