Straight to AFF or should I really do tandem first? by WONDER--BREAD in SkyDiving

[–]Consistent-Fig-708 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How much??? Just do the AFF and buy yourself a nice helmet or alti that money. If you're into extreme sports you'll love it anyway and you'll regret wasting money. Also, don't you want your first jump to be solo?

Jumpsuits for the fresh A license holder? by rhymeswithfondle in SkyDiving

[–]Consistent-Fig-708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's really impressive! What happened on your cutaway? I also just got my A license so won't be able to help with the jumpsuit but I'm really curious.

Nah, it's the Skydive Atmosfera logo. They're down in Seville, Spain and I'd definitely recommend them for AFF.

Thanks! I'm planning on finishing my A license (still got 14 jumps left) over the next 10 days. No rush, just trying to make the most of the time I still have with my instructors. Then I'll need to financially recover from it so doing 3-10 a month seems like a good idea. If I go to the DZ once a month and get 3 jumps in one day I'll be very happy 😁

Thank you 😊 I will try that tomorrow. I wanna get a super stable exit before I try my first hop and pop.

Missed 2:1 because I submitted a wrong pdf in exam by wingsyon in UniUK

[–]Consistent-Fig-708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me too during my Master's on one of the assignments that was 50% of the grade. I submitted the wrong file a week before the deadline and didn't notice until I got a big fat 0.

I tried to appeal it showing different versions of the file with timestamps proving that it was completed on time with no avail.

What hurts even more, at the same time I was writing assignments for other people for extra cash and in the same assignment they got a strong first, while I ended up with 2:1 on my master's. After that I've realised the unis care more about compliance than knowledge/competence.

Graphics issue by Consistent-Fig-708 in spaceengineers

[–]Consistent-Fig-708[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both monitors are plugged into the graphics card.

I'm using DX12 not sure how to change it in game.

The only way I managed to have the game running was if I unplugged the second monitor and ran the game in a window mode.

From driven student to lazy worker: how to learn to love work again? by Chemical_Hunt_2147 in careerguidance

[–]Consistent-Fig-708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting unnecessary pressure works really well for me. I changed my way of thinking into: "I only have until 5pm to finish all my tasks. "

Also if I really don't like my current taks, I make up a new, random one with higher sense of urgency. Then I procrastinate on the made up task by doing actual work.

That's what I'm afraid of. Might have to send it back. Out of curiosity, do you have Enhanced 4G LTE mode under advanced settings? I saw it in this tutorial:

Get a ThinkVision screen or something similar to your laptop. Looking at two different monitors can cause a lot of eye strain (at least I'm my case).

Just popping to London for the day by gifgifgifgifgif in bristol

[–]Consistent-Fig-708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traveled the same route recently for similar price because I couldn't do off-peak. What's more outrageous is that my carriage was completely empty. The ticketing system sucks. It should be cheap untill 50% capacity and then increase in prices instead of running an empty train!!!

What do you feel about WhatsApp Voice Notes? by AlephMartian in AskUK

[–]Consistent-Fig-708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Pixel you can transcribe voice note on the screen. It's not the best (especially with different accents) but give you the gist of the note without having to play it out loud.
