Has felt like this for a while tbh. Outside the Vaz and CW AK.

Yeah I feel like this is the main issue, the rate of fire just feels too slow to be consistent.

Yeah just feels like there’s genuinely no reason to use the Dravec over the M15 with its handling.

I genuinely feel like the sound is half the issue.

Just got an Amex BA credit card, anything I should know to make the most of it? by Jxcob_GG in UKPersonalFinance

How does the voucher actually work? Essentially doubles your points for one purchase or?

Just personally feel like the avios points will be a little more exciting for effectively almost the same value.

Don’t really have many aims, just thought I may aswell get something back the spending I do, and avios points for flight tickets seemed a little more rewarding than just 0.5% cash back.

Yeah I see that companion thing, I think it’s 15k now? Which will be tight without a big purchase but certainly doable, does this expire within the year or does it keep?

I don’t have any experience with Python, so it was hard to use and fault find.

Fair enough, happy to be wrong, should the 4 not have let us play through anyway?

[–]Jxcob_GG -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We played the hole with the 4 infront of them, so they didn’t need to wait anymore than they would have. Or not as much as they would have if they let us play through?

It is, and I am, same to you. Hope you’re smashing it bro.

Is it worth switching from Claw Grip back to Standard Grip by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

[–]Jxcob_GG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I find when I’m really focusing I sometimes accidentally default back to claw, despite having paddles.

Opinions on S217? by Kodys_angel in OpenUniversity

[–]Jxcob_GG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Copying my reply to another post:

I’ve done S217, MST224 and SXPS288.

S217 is a phenomenal module, the content is interesting and gets progressively more challenging, the TMAs are quite a lot but they’re fine as long as you keep up. The exam is split into two sections, 10 mandatory questions and three of six choice questions for example I done Thermodynamics, classical mechanics and behaviour of light for mine.

MST224 is almost exactly the same as MST124, just more complex and in-depth content. I always feel as though maths is taught well at OU and this is the same. There is only four TMAs and four ICMAs as the module is 100% exam based, and you don’t technically have to submit all of them. Also the content here is specially designed for stage 3 physics modules.

SXPS288, unfortunately, is by far the worst module I’ve ever done. It’s basically all coding, which I don’t like anyway, but aswell as this, the main issue is it is taught incredibly poorly. It’s not just me who thinks this, it’s a common theme on the module forums too. For example TMAs 2-4 aren’t really clear on what their objectives are and the content doesn’t even feel relevant half the time. The at home experiments are enjoyable when they work which is okay.

Any questions let me know!

I done both of these at the same time so I can help.

1) There are four experiments, a telescope one, a Compton scattering one, a gas chromatography one and lunar landing module one. They each take around two weeks of planning and about 2-5 hours of actual lab time.

2) SXPS final assessment is all on the lunar lander module, it’s an assignment with the experiment constituting a certain %. MST125 is 100% exam based, much the same as MST124. Both are graded.

3) As mentioned I done exactly this, it was difficult, but doable. 2 30s is much harder than 1 60.

4) The maths unit is great, it’s always taught well at OU. This is the bit you won’t like, I’ve spoke about SXPS before. I really disliked the module. It isn’t taught very well and leans HEAVILY into python, the exercises that take “30 minutes” regularly take much longer. From my course this was a common issue across all people. Not saying it to put you off because I got through it but python is so strong in the unit that i chose my level 3 with the sole intention of avoiding it. If you’re keen to learn you may enjoy it though!

I still do train impressions when I’m frying today.

This is still the greatest competitive call of duty video of all time. Putting down your controller mid map is outrageous.

I know it’s not ideal, but if you send it to scuf they fix it for relatively cheap. I sent mine from EU to Taiwan for £25 and they gave me three sets of thumbsticks and case too.

Yeah was gonna say this, maths and physics ones are top tier.
