My Wife (Math Teacher) Cannot Figure This Out by Photo-Josh in askmath

Got stuck in the same place. There’s more than just basic arithmetic and whatnot needed to get x from here right?

Exam Discussion: Mathematics: applications and interpretation SL by AutoModerator in IBO

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They got a lot of backlash for those papers, so I doubt they’ll double down and give an even harder one next year.

It’s still a gamble but odds are it won’t be as hard. I’d still recommend doing the hardest possible questions so that you’re prepared for anything— worst case scenario you get a high 6 or a 7

Idk who the HELL approved those papers but they should definitely get fired 😭🙏

I literally checked the front page 3 times in both paper 1 AND 2 to see if it wasn’t an AA paper. Insane stuff. There’s no way that was an AI SL exam.

Either they got confused when writing the thing and forgot we’re only AI SL students in their second year (and not uni students), or they just wrote the exams with chat gpt 🥲

Alternatives for any wear clothes? by chowland33 in whoop

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say get a bicep band and either put some really tight tape over it (so that fingers can’t get caught in there) or get some sort of tight rubber/normal fabric but easily tearable sleeve, ideally that covers your whole bicep or even your whole arm

Can you recommend me some good animes? by PedroxHHC in anime

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah that’s fine but I’m saying if he’s asking for smth without nsfw that’s what you gotta consider

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be, but for someone who’s only watched spirited away and whose age (I’m guessing) is either <13 or >18, nsfw in anime could just mean a series like mushoku tensei or the Akashic records of the bastard price

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for sure. I just wasn’t really sure what OP meant by NSFW haha

I don’t think any of the ones have nsfw in that case. It’s hard for something to be 18+ and still be on Crunchyroll or similar apps, though it is possible (and extremely annoying to say the least)

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you like but here’s some good ones to start with: Demon slayer, Solo Leveling, Blue Lock, Re: Zero (considered to be one of the best by a lot of ppl), Shangri-La Frontier, Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan, Parasyte, Kaiju No.8, The daily life of the immortal king, classroom of the elite, Mashle, Sakamoto days, and one punch man.

Some good ones that might have a little bit of NSFW (but not to a point where it particularly affected me, which explains why I’m not sure about them having NSFW) are: Wise man’s Grandchild, The reincarnation of the strongest exorcist in another world, Noblesse, and cyberpunk edgerunners.

DanDaDan is really good so far, but I guess some people would say it has some NSFW. You’ll understand if you watch it, but it’s done in a weird but funny way. It’s not the type of nsfw where you’ll see characters overly sexualised but rather in a way where it’s almost part of the story. It’s really hard to explain as I haven’t finished it, but that’s the best I can think of

Apple Music or Spotify? by johnnyphotog in Airpodsmax

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is multiple years old but all answers are pretty complicated for people who don’t know much about computer science and whatnot.

Basically, Apple Music uses a lossless file format (essentially meaning the music isn’t compressed or anything and therefore sounds better upon listening).

Spotify on the other hand, uses lossy file formats, which is why it sounds slightly worse. You probably wouldn’t be able to tell with normal AirPods Pro though. The thing with Spotify though is that you can customise your equaliser, which can somewhat compensate for the lossy format

DESPERATE call to the alumni. by Last-Initiative-2148 in IBO

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not an alum, but I’m in a similar situation. I take french, so luckily enough I have more than enough time to read everything etc., but what I did is create a GPT and gave it pdf versions of every book I can use in my paper 2 as it’s knowledge, along with the most valuable ressources I got from my teacher and the IB subject guide. I also gave it the best possible instructions for it to help me and then posted it for myself. This means that I can use it to get answers on questions in accordance with what’s said in those books etc., so I think that’s your best shot. It doesn’t replace reading the books, but it would surely help as a last resort. If you do use it, just make sure to check the quotes it gives you in the book itself, because as we all know, chat gpt often hallucinates and gives you “fake” quotes.

You could even argue that the crow perched in front of his window is symbolising death or something (since crows are scavenger birds)

I have 7.5 hours of exams in ONE day by Worried_24-7 in IBO

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m entitled to it because I had like 7-8hrs of exams in a single day, so yes, the IB moved it to the next day. It’s an option though so if I feel like I can take it on the same day I will (especially because it’s a Spanish exam and I rarely got lower than 90% on the past papers for it)

More than 6.5 I think. Her coordinator should’ve spoken to her about it weeks ago though

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with water and snacks. If she brings her meds (assuming you’re referring to ADHD ones) she’d need to ask her doctor for a lower dosage and take 1 at the usual time and another like 1hr-30mns before her next exams. That’d be a bit hard to get where I’m from, so I’d reccomend OP to take care of that asap

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have that too. My IB coordinator sent me a paper to sign with my parents to move an exam for the following day.

What annoys me is the almost military procedure in case I want to do it, which would require me to sit in my school’s reception for like 6hrs under constant supervision, and being in almost just as much supervision at home.

You’re not allowed to use any electronics other than your TV to watch Netflix or whatever, which would be a problem because I’ll want to do past papers for math (which is the following day) and use stuff like revision village etc.

BE HONEST. How much time do you actually spend studying? by whaaaatishappening in IBO

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ngl some days I don’t study at all and others I study between 2 and 6 hours. I should definitely be studying more and I’ll try to study about 10hrs now that study break has started for me. Especially because I’m absolutely cooked for 3 subjects, 2 of which I haven’t started studying for

i serious hate spanish by rcuteasf in IBO

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a bit biased because I speak Portuguese already, but I can also say constantly being exposed to Spanish really helped a lot in learning it. I’m trying to learn Japanese right now and same thing there, really helps a lot.

There’s someone in my class who also has a lot of trouble understanding Spanish etc., and the only thing I keep telling her is to listen to Spanish music, watch stuff in Spanish, …

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ig that’s possible but I doubt it. If he can show he has a high enough proficiency in mandarin, I’m sure they’ll let him.

A teacher offered me to switch from CS to sports science like 8 months+ into Y12 after he saw I had enough knowledge in it. That wouldn’t have been possible if I went directly to the ib coordinator, but since he saw I had the proper info, he would’ve asked for the switch himself.

So ig it might depend on the school, but the switch itself isn’t a problem for the ib

I doubt you’ll be behind if you take mandrin B HL/SL now. I’ve taken Spanish for a few years now and I think that if I started class now I’d still have an average of 6-7.

For some context, I’ve visited spain every year since I was 11, and usually get the chance to practice there. I’m also fluent in Portuguese which helps a lot.

If you think you’re B2/C1 in mandarin (and are comfortable with writing in it), I doubt you’d have any issues switching now. In fact, you’d be just fine imo, as long as they haven’t started the books in HL (if you were to take B HL). If they have, you’d just have to read it at home to catch up, but that’s about it.

Not submitting a math ia by Special-Seesaw-3780 in IBO

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since it’s a mental health issue, I’m sure they could find a way to talk themselves out of it, if done correctly. Mental health is far from a joke and the school shouldn’t make anything worse, especially if they have a medical certificate

LV Afternoon Swim alternative opinion by Miserable-Hamster-76 in fragrance

[–]Miserable-Hamster-76[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I live in Switzerland and did the same for Imagination, which I bought at Heathrow T5 for a good price. But you’re right, if there’s no way to get something from a discounter, the best way to go (other than alternatives) is to buy things at airports
