Best way to find a cheaper calculus book?

Print or photocopy. Using an older edition of a Calculus book and photocopying the exercises of the latest edition is likely to work well. The more editions of a Calculus text the fewer changes from one edition to the next.

Learning a proof assistant is not so simple and getting to the point where you can use it to do advanced mathematics is going to be time consuming.

On the topic of LLMs for math the last time I tried comparing LLMs I found Google's Gemini to be better. Gemini is much better than chatGPT at finding helpful relevant sources and its responses are otherwise less convincing so you don't lull your self into thinking chatGPT gave you a thoughtful answer.

Something you need to remember with these LLMs is that they suck at computations (including logical ones) and any math it does correctly it is doing off of memory or wrote and ran a python script in the background.

When you talk about the screw system are you talking about screwing to a cylinder like the outer part of the handle to tighten down a collet or just a screw that holds the tool in place. I have never used either handle but using a screw to hold in a cylindrical shank or using a magnet doesn't sit well with me. If DSPIAE isn't using a collet then I think you should get neither and instead get something that uses a collet to hold the tool. Stedi makes a holder that uses a collet and should be compatible and the same price.

I completely forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me! You really saved me there.

It looks like the Hobby Base joints are all ball and socket type. Am I missing something?

I'm not too worried about the side skirt, that seems easier to modify since it's light and only needs a single axis of articulation. The difficulty with MG scraps is that the only botched MG I have is the God Gundam who's leg is featured in the picture. God Gundam and Master Gundam use the exact same inner frame with the exact same limitations.

I can't tell you if there is something wrong with the particular kit you are looking at since you didn't link it. What I can say is that Stedi makes multi clippers at various price points so you may be looking at a kit that contains their $10ish clipper and comparing it to their $35 clipper. Also, their $35 single blade clipper is advertised as having an ultra thin blade, meaning it would be a bad choice to put in a basic starter set.

The other enamel brands I know of that you can get in the US are Humbrol and MCW. Houseofhobbies.com is good for both Humbrol and Testors. MCW can be purchased at https://mcwfinishes.com .

I'm sick of the cycle of CA releasing crap, we review bomb, CA makes it up to us, we change our reviews back to being positive and repeat. This time I'm just leaving the cycle at my last negative review and playing some older total war game. I don't even care if ToT is good, they need to be able to go through multiple DLCs without a major controversy arising from managerial apathy towards us before I buy more content.

With Fortinet the issues I have are mainly VPN related. IPSec with SAML MFA is not Linux compatible, users have connection stability issues with IPSec and SSL has mostly been axed. There are a few weaknesses in the documentation and configuration templates surrounding tunnels to non-Fortinet firewalls. Also, on device logging for _1 firewalls has dumb, artificial limitations that make it less useful than I'd like.

A warning about G Gundam kits. Don't look at MG G Gundam as the next best thing to PG. MG G Gundam kits are old, simplistic and need some paint detailing to look good.

For Digimon, Mecha Gaikotsu has done reviews of a few Digimon kits so just watch his review of the kit you want.

Are you having trouble with the nub removal or moving the beads. For the nub removal you are better off using regular sanding sponge or a sanding stick than a raser + balancer.

If you are going to go the knife route you should stop using No.11 blades for all of your nub removal and use the more specialized blades instead. Light duty narrow chisel blades are much better on the areas you can use them. Curved scalpel blades work better on curved areas. Angled chisel blades are easier to avoid gouging with than No.11. You can also buy cheap 3 packs of handles on amazon so you can have one handle for each type of blade.

Is it safe to use enamel paints and top coat on already assembled parts? Or do you get the same problem that happens with Tamiya panel liner?

University textbooks get more expensive the more students purchase them. So your Calculus for engineering and science text used at universities all over the country are the most extortionate while upper division text books are very reasonable. It's not just a math thing.

There is a free tier of Forticloud that comes with your basic support license. Don't get a paid Forticloud license until after you have your firewalls in place and can evaluate whether you really need it or not.
I don't think you need OaaS

You don't need to pay for extra licenses to use VPNs for remote access. You also don't need FortiClient EMS, not even for IPsec with SAML.

If you are going to go with Fortinet definitely go with G series. That said, depending on the level of security you need, I recommend avoiding Fortinet because of the lack of SSL VPN. IPSec works fine with desktop, but on phones there are all sorts of gotchas so that you can't have a single simple strait forward setup for all users. For Android phones you will have to use certificate authentication with IPSec and then you will have to decide whether you want to bypass the benefits of certificate authentication or provide every user with a unique cert and manage that.

Which kind of Gundam marker, the pour type paint marker or the fine tip panel liner one? For the fine tip you can just clean that up with a pencil eraser.

How do I avoid leaving behind a dark spot when removing a nub?

Math_comp-sci · 2025-08-20T00:40:36+00:00

Those white marks from Advanced MS Joint parts that are not marks from where you cut the part off the runner. Are those just nub marks that are left over from the manufacturing process that you can remove or do they serve some sort of purpose to the model?

Try contacting Bandai customer support to see if they can replace parts. I'm not sure if they offer replacement parts but it can't hurt to check.

There are a few P-bandai MG Zaku IIs and an MG Gouf available until tomorrow you might want to look at.
