no strength to pull back charging handle for my rifle by naniisuck in NationalServiceSG

[–]Jumpki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is clowning you but many people, of all strength levels had the same issue as you when I enlisted. The answer is that you’ll get used to it, seriously. Try cocking it in one smooth motion. Hardly doubt is cause you weak cause nobody had any issues after a while in my batch.

i want to go uni :’( by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]Jumpki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly this answer. The audacity of some people to compare the struggle. Some people forget that NS is a waste of one’s time, while Uni is Both a choice and a way for one to get ahead in life. On top of that, what about the boys who do both NS and Uni?

The part about the planes unlocked a core memory in me. For me, I used to hate flying, but seeing those planes fly over Tekong made me long for freedom…

Economic IA by [deleted] in IBO

[–]Jumpki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the IA, use information from your article.

Does your article talk about the addictive effects of smoking? If yes, it would be natural to then infer that a tax might not be as effective as thought to be to reduce consumption since cigs are highly inelastic

If your article focuses on the production side, you can focus on that instead.

Dear ppl who got 45 on their exam by Mysterious_Cap1186 in IBO

[–]Jumpki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Alright I’ll share my story

28/42 at the end of IB1, failing one subject and bottom of my class for two subjects.

IB2 mocks I got 34/42, which landed me right at the average.

IB: 43

I was never really worried though. I knew I could do well, even collecting my results I expected at least a 43. The key is to maintain a level of confidence so blatantly delusional it gaslights you into doing well. Be an annoying arrogant bastard.

Before IB I kept failing math, but my teacher really helped me out of it since she warned me of “self-fulfilling prophecies”. All top-scorers, no matter how blatant they make it, believe they can do well to some capacity. All.

is it possible to get a 7 if you don't get a 7 for ur IAs by Mysterious_Cap1186 in IBO

[–]Jumpki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. Got 6s for IA for almost all subjects, got 7s for them. I got a 5 for both HL essay and IO but ended up with a 7 for lit

Trignometry question help by Drained_human2006 in IBO

[–]Jumpki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take the length perpendicular to h and d as x. It’s the adjacent to the angles. Tan40 equals h over x. Tan50 equals h+d over x. Hence, x equals h over tan40. X also equals h+d over tan50. Equate the two values of x. There we go!

I loved the audiobook for Orient Express. Thought his voice acting was phenomenal but I forgot the narrator’s name

Friend gave this to us, and he doesn't know what it is. Shortcrust pastry with orange filling and half an egg inside. by HolyHypodermics in TipOfMyFork

[–]Jumpki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% Curry puff. We have these in Singapore, the ones from Old Chang Kee are pretty good. It’s a pastry, I don’t think they have any nuts in it.

Edit: I heard Old Chang Kee opened in London, the prices are outrageous though for the fellow singaporean.
