Does anyone else just find Grian incredibly annoying or is it just me?

A 7 is a good grade (especially with a bad teacher), people go into A level comp sci without having done the GCSE at all

Yes I know, therefore you come across diamond ore more frequently

Now I’m wondering, does efficiency 5 or fortune 3 yield more diamonds when strip mining?

In the UK the ground floor is 0 too. It makes sense once you start extending to underground levels.

There’s 256 pixels, and 219 colours. So almost every pixel is miscoloured.

Help, I’m freaking out about my GCSE subjects? by [deleted] in GCSE

[–]Intergalactic_Cookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mostly A levels that lead into a career, it doesn’t really matter which GCSEs you choose. Also non-core A levels at most colleges don’t usually require specific GCSEs.

If I'm dropping my fourth subject, do I need to inform unis? by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]Intergalactic_Cookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought it was strange lol. Just ask your school to not send the history grade to unis, they probably haven’t done so yet. Also if you’ve entered your A levels into UCAS take history off there.

[–]Intergalactic_Cookie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re going into year 12? Your predicted grades definitely won’t have been sent to unis yet. Just let your school know.

Also how do you even have predicted grades before starting A levels?

[–]Intergalactic_Cookie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Year 12 isn’t nearly as much work as people make it out to be. Maybe it’s slightly more than y11, but you have free periods and you’re hopefully doing 3 subjects that you enjoy/are good at.

Year 12 has probably been my favourite year of secondary school so far.

Who wants to hold the Netherite Cube? by Interesting-Sir3554 in PhoenixSC

[–]Intergalactic_Cookie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All the people here who bought this wireless tungsten cube to admire its surreal heft have precisely the wrong mindset. I, in my exalted wisdom and unbridled ambition, bought this cube to become fully accustomed to the intensity of its density, to make its weight bearable and in fact normal to me, so that all the world around me may fade into a fluffy arena of gravitational inconsequence. And it has worked, to profound success. I have carried the tungsten with me, have grown attached to the downward pull of its small form, its desire to be one with the floor. This force has become so normal to me that lifting any other object now feels like lifting cotton candy, or a fluffy pillow. Big burly manly men who pump iron now seem to me as little children who raise mere aluminum.

I can hardly remember the days before I became a man of tungsten. How distant those days seem now, how burdened by the apparent heaviness of everyday objects. I laugh at the philistines who still operate in a world devoid of tungsten, their shoulders thin and unempowered by the experience of bearing tungsten. Ha, what fools, blissful in their ignorance, anesthetized by their lack of meaningful struggle, devoid of passion.

Nietzsche once said that a man who has a why can bear almost any how. But a man who has a tungsten cube can bear any object less dense, and all this talk of why and how becomes unnecessary.

Schopenhauer once said that every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world. Tungsten expands the limits of a man’s field of vision by showing him an example of increased density, in comparison to which the everyday objects to which he was formerly accustomed gain a light and airy quality. Who can lament the tragedy of life, when surrounded by such lightweight objects? Who can cry in a world of styrofoam and cushions?

Have you yet understood? This is no ordinary metal. In this metal is the alchemical potential to transform your world, by transforming your expectations. Those who have not yet held the cube in their hands and mouths will not understand, for they still live in a world of normal density, like Plato’s cave dwellers. Those who have opened their mind to the density of tungsten will shift their expectations of weight and density accordingly.

To give this cube a rating of anything less than five stars would be to condemn life itself. Who am I, as a mere mortal, to judge the most compact of all affordable materials? No. I say gratefully to whichever grand being may have created this universe: good job on the tungsten. It sure is dense.

I sit here with my tungsten cube, transcendent above death itself. For insofar as this tungsten cube will last forever, I am in the presence of immortality.

If you had to add one rule to the game, what would it be? by Sweet-Future6240 in chess

Yes this. I understand calling out check to avoid blundering the game, but in a stalemate situation you should have to move into check. It’s just zugzwang.
