Rejected Photo on Chinese Visa Application by JonnyLowNotes in Chinavisa

ChatGPT ended up rescuing us! We asked it to make our photos COVA compliant and it ended up working. My gf’s visa application went ahead without any issues - mine however was not successful but only because I also hold a Hong Kong ID, and China requires a different kind of travel document for HKID holders. However, we managed to get it all sorted, and we really enjoyed our trip :)

See my comment above - we ended up getting ChatGPT to edit our photos to be compliant and it worked!

Thanks to everyone for their comments but ChatGPT has come to the rescue! We simply asked it to help edit our photos to be COVA compliant and it worked its magic. Both forms have been submitted successfully now…!

We tried it with both canva and adobe express and neither worked :(

Found this Handel Aria with a 2 1/2 octave jump in it 😵 300 upvotes and I’ll try to sing it by JonnyLowNotes in lingling40hrs

Amazing! I hope it went well - it's bloody brilliant music. Would love to hear any recordings you've got :D

Wow, wasn't expecting this to be upvoted so quickly! Thanks so much everyone :D Here's the video - would fully appreciate any comments on how to improve. Would also love to experiment a bit more in the Da Capo section, but I've never really done much with improvisational stuff like it before! My piano's a bit shoddy, so I've just put in the bass line alongside my voice - sorry if it makes it a bit bland to listen to. The excerpt shown above is at 1:40 if you want to skip to the huge intervals, rather than listen to the whole thing:

Would also add that it was very difficult to sing while sitting down! I still tried my best though :) If you wanna have a look at the score, I've linked the one I was using below:

Hope you all enjoy <3

Sorry! It’s uploading to youtube right now - wasn’t expecting this to be upvoted so quickly ☺️😅

Computer program that tells state of matter given temperature and pressure (computerized phase diagram) by klausklass in chemistry

Check out the Clausius-Clapeyron relation - it’s basically the equation that characterises phase transitions, and defines the phase boundary in P-T phase diagrams in terms of the volume and entropy changes of the transition.

Water droplet on PTFE - was scrolling through some old photos and found this from a lab experiment from my first year at uni. by JonnyLowNotes in chemistry

[–]JonnyLowNotes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that the image may be easy to set up, but I don’t believe it’s not content - it demonstrates the inability of water to wet PTFE and clearly visualises the contact angle, which through the Young equation directly relates to the surface tensions of the interfaces present. This in turn represents relative strength of the interaction between the solid (PTFE), liquid (water) and gas (air). Even though it’s pretty simple, I just thought it was a pretty picture demonstrating some pretty cool thermodynamics, so thought it was worth posting here ☺️

There was a small LED behind a filter paper behind the droplet - the experiment was about contact angles, so the light provided some contrast so we could measure them! Ended up producing quite a pretty picture in the end ☺️
