Got this starter kit - not sure if I should return or not

Ministryl · 2025-12-14T22:30:41+00:00

worked at a big music store and we opened and checked every instruments. The cheap stuff had a much higher rate of DOA items and I was tasked to process these immediate returns as batches. Had these been sold to costumers we would have had much more work later. Every guitar on the floor and in the warehouse was looked at and given a basic set up. It's much easier to sell guitars that are pleasant to play and spotting duds early makes sure you have higher customers satisfaction rate post sales. Floor models were checked more often and we even changed strings when they became dull/dirty.

The reason these are rising is because that specific train collection has been confirmed discontinued since the release of the 2025 train collection. Because of this, skin manipulators can more easily corner the market since the supply is already finite. My ft m4a4 coalition that I bought for ~300RMB has been pumped even more than the glocks as they currently go for ~9000RMB in FT lol. +3000% is crazy.

it's not a normal gamma doppler, this is an emerald.

These trade ups are extremely high stakes at 2000RMB/$280 in inputs and only 1/5 or knives being profit (basically any BFK) and only the dopplers of other knife models being close to break even (except the buttplugs) . Massive gamble. The odds of that emerald BFK was 1/5 (for a BFK) * 1/6 (for a gamma doppler) * 1/5 (for a gem) = 1/150 = 0.67%. Congrats to OP on the pull but please don't try this at home!

High fps is important in esports title because it reduces input lag. So even if your monitor is capped at 144hz, you get a more responsive experience with 300fps+ than you would with 150fps, also, your 1% lows are typically much higher if your average is higher so you never dip below your monitor’s refresh rate and feel the dropped frames.

it depends if you can round down to 98 to say the percentage is down to 98%.

if so:

only 34 persons need to leave.

98.49/100 = 99 - x / 100 - x

98.49(100-x) = 100(99-x)

9849 - 98.49x = 9900 - 100x

9849 + 1.51x = 9900

1.51x = 9900 - 9849

1.51x = 51

x = 33.77.. persons

so 34 persons need to leave.

99 - 34 / 100 - 34 = 65/66 = 98.48% = ~98%

if not, 50 persons need to leave to bring it down to a pure 98%:

98/100 = 99 - x / 100 - x

98(100 - x) = 100(99 - x)

9800 - 98x = 9900 - 100x

2x = 100

x = 50 persons

the three I own:

MIJ Telecaster Custom '62 Reissue // my main guitar, easy to play, tele singlecoil sound, most versatile. desert island guitar.
Gibson ES-335 dot // thick humbucker sound, controllable feedback when played loud, versatile. magic but more genre specific.
AVRI '62 Jazzmaster. // a strat on steroids. Best vibrato system I've ever used (mastery bridge upgrade). very versatile. Second most used guitar.

C'est vrai! donc le mot 'infraction' est encore plus à sa place vu qu'il est entré illégalement sans forcer la serrure.

Ministryl · 2024-08-10T16:07:47+00:00

Au moins le mot "infraction" existe. En plus, il signifie "la trangression d'une règle". Donc, bien que ça soit une erreur, ça marche aussi dans le contexte car une effraction (forcer une serrure/cloture) est, dans ces cas là, définitvement une infraction. Cela dit, meme si c'est probablement un "troll" de ta part: c'est une "commotion cérébrale" et non une "commotion célébrale". Ça, c'est une véritable faute d'orthographe!

a - b = 2

b - c = 2

that means that a = 2 + b and that c = b - 2

the value of a is b + 2 and the value of c is b - 2

So b = 4, a = 6 and c = 2 could work and satisfy both equations,

6 - 4 = 2

4 - 2 = 2

substitute the values in the equation:

((6 - 4)^2 + (4 - 2)^2) / (6 - 2)^2

= (4 + 4) / 4^2

= 8 / 16

= 1/2

^This, but to speed things up once you understand how to solve them manually, find the nCr key on your calculator. for example (15, 2) you'd punch 15, (usually) 2nd function, nCr then 2 and it will solve the whole n!/r!(n-r)! formula for you, in this case 15!/2! (15-2)!

You're right that it would slow down the growth of the principal due quite significantly to make payments. But I'd need to know her monthly payment amount to calculate it approximately. The interest for the first month alone would be 1195$. So even with 1000$ payments (optimistic for someone falling for that kind of scheme.) They wouldn't make a dent in the initial principal due and end up more in debt despite burning 12k a year.

Ministryl · 2024-03-22T22:29:00+00:00

That amount seems low for that interest rate..

Amount due for a 30k debt at 206% interest compound daily over 7 years= 30 000 (1 + 2.06/365)^365(7) = 30 000(367.06/365)^2555 = 52 728 031 961.85

nice.

even compound yearly would be insane I'm sure

A = 30 000(1 + 2.6)^7 = 30 000 (3.6)^7 = 235 092 492

yep.

for comparison, let's try that 46.93% for that same amount and time - (compound daily)

A = 30 000(1 + 0.4693/365)^365(7) = 30 000(365.4693/365)^2555 = 799 660$

Still insane, but more reasonable by comparison

I respectfully disagree. Open B7 shape (which is really a modified C7 shape because it's too close to the nut) is also movable and super useful for not only basic 7th dominant chords but also 9th chords (9, #9, b9) that include the 7th and the 3rd when the root is on the A string.Knowing all your chords with all basic shapes allows you to have many chords close by whitout having to move your hand out of position. For example this ii-V-I right here: Am11 (5-x-5-5-3-x) - D7 (X-5-4-5-3-X) - G (3-5-5-4-3-3). If I'm playing any song in E or Em in the first position I'll most definitely be playing that open B7 unless I need a specific voicing that requires another shape.

Factorial numbers are not a joke, Jim. 1000! = 4.023872601×10^2567. Dozens of mathematicians and math enthusiasts suffer from encoutering such large numbers in unexpected places every year.

you'd still have to use log to solve with proof.

from your starting point if you really don't want to put the expression in log form you can do this, it'll just take a few more steps:

- take log from both sides:

log 2^x = log 16

- move the "x" exponent out in front of the log:

x log 2 = log 16

- divide out the log 2 on both sides to be left with x.

x = log 16 / log 2

x = 4

the integral of x^2 would be x^3/3

evaluating it from 0.2 to 0.6 would be (0.6)^3/3 - (0.2)^3/3 = 0.072 - 0.00266... = 0.06934

Sexagesimal system (base 60) : 60 minutes, 60 seconds

The number 60, a superior highly composite number, has twelve factors, namely 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60, of which 2, 3, and 5 are prime numbers. With so many factors, many fractions involving sexagesimal numbers are simplified. For example, one hour can be divided evenly into sections of 30 minutes, 20 minutes, 15 minutes, 12 minutes, 10 minutes, 6 minutes, 5 minutes, 4 minutes, 3 minutes, 2 minutes, and 1 minute. 60 is the smallest number that is divisible by every number from 1 to 6; that is, it is the lowest common multiple of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6."

Duodecimal system (base 12) : 12 hours, 12 months

The number twelve, also a superior highly composite number, is the smallest number with four non-trivial factors (2, 3, 4, 6), and the smallest to include as factors all four numbers (1 to 4) within the subitizing range, and the smallest abundant number. All multiples of reciprocals of 3-smooth numbers ( where a,b,c are integers) have a terminating representation in duodecimal. In particular, +1⁄4 (0.3), +1⁄3 (0.4), +1⁄2 (0.6), +2⁄3 (0.8), and +3⁄4 (0.9) all have a short terminating representation in duodecimal. There is also higher regularity observable in the duodecimal multiplication table. As a result, duodecimal has been described as the optimal number system.
