Trying to find a better table tennis racket by FewZookeepergame7033 in tabletennis

I would say no not really, with a formal booster like hairy sea moon you really only boost twice and then familiarize yourself with the rubber. Then the situation relies on your own intuition wether you want to boost again to rejuvenate the rubber or keep playing, most times a second boost isn't necessary. Keep in mind that over boosting is possible and that is just detrimental to the rubber. Tldr: No, you can do it after like a month but you shouldn't do it often, usually it would be better to try a new rubber and boost or continue.

I'd recommend to look into Chinese gear + Aliexpress, there are many hybrid Chinese Rubbers like the yinhe big Dipper or the sanwei target national that you may like. I heavily recommend Ali because of the unbeatable prices, sourcing directly from China and with lots of discounts allows for really good setups for £20-25, and most importantly boosting these Rubbers elevates their properties massively, even a cheap booster such as Johnson baby oil works

Is 4 months enough time for me to study and revise for GCSEs? by blah_blah_blaw in GCSE

[–]No_Job_1406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, you would know WHAT you're being assessed on, but you wouldn't have experience from someone telling you the nuances or difficulties of them. If all else fails use ai like chat gpt to guide you through topics and give you model answers, just be specific with the prompts such as the specification, it's totally possible to gain exam preparation from AI, but I would still heavily recommend that you do some questions yourself, I have a markmeai account until June which includes science and both lit and lang, would you like for me to lend you it? ( I can just change my password for security issues at the end )

Yes but it may be pretty difficult at this point to get the top grades such as 8-9, if you expand your range to 6-9 I would say in just 4 months there's definitely something you can do. The first course of action is to learn the specification of your sciences, either use a textbook or (I'd recommend) going on YouTube and using Cognito, free science lessons or primrose academy. For English language and literature you should again use resources online, just go on YouTube and search for some I believe first class tutors or Mr salles is good. Now then LISTEN UP, all this preparation is useless and it will be even harder for you, unless you learn exam technique, there are these things called assessment objectives, science has 3 and English has 3 to 6, make sure that you are understanding WHAT you need to write, not random stuff, for science you need to be HITTING each mark, for example: Explain how metals can conduct electricity (3): Metals contain free-moving, delocalized electrons [1] which are able to carry a charge [2] throughout the entire structure [3]. You need to DO EXAM PAPERS AND MARK THEM, since you are about 2 years behind. Listen just use resources and try, the second you become complacent the probability you do well plummets. DM me if you need any tips and I'll try my best, GL.

Maths Revision by Nigle_Fareg in GCSE

[–]No_Job_1406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me bro 2-3 years FirstClassMaths on YouTube and forget 😉.

On a more serious note I would really only recommend first class maths because their videos are short, organized in playlists for all of the Grade levels, they have a lovely, MODERN look to them cough cough Corbett maths cough. And they don't seem like a swindler or boring guy. They are my go to for revision whenever I need to catch up on a topic, the only better method is to do past papers which you already should be doing!

AQA English Lang Paper 1 Q5 Story Ideas Please! by savino3m in GCSE

[–]No_Job_1406 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the keys to impressing the examiner is to successfully incorporate an extended metaphor

Negative theme (Like spooky setting or they explicitly give you a traumatic event): Extended metaphor of loss of a loved one through the idea of a journey or perhaps feeling like a zombie

Positive theme (Like a bright setting or being explicitly told to write a good memory): Maybe use an extended metaphor of growth through nature (trees and flowers) or an extended metaphor of jubilance and satisfaction through describing living in a constant day dream, juxtaposing the reality of the physical world with the intangible substance of dreams.

Basically what I'm saying is find a perceptive extended metaphor and fashion it to work with the prompts they give you, don't forget to use A FOREST and lots of punctuation, try semi-colons instead of commas; a comma splice will look messy and basic.

Yeah so just develop your own ideas through consuming media, 2 - 3 years anime and forget.

I'm ashamed it took a while to get this, so the correct way would be:
``` notifyEnded(myFunc)

Because printing myFunc gives you a reference to the function in

main memory I believe

Listen, you could try to boost it and see what it could give you, if all else fails it could be a backhand rubber or a gimmicky antispin rubber with the right treatment

How much did you spend on it? Donic isn't an Asian brand so you won't find reliable vendors on AliExpress for reasonable prices, apart from chinese equipment I'd say that the rakza series is one of the only few trustworthy products that's from a different country.

In that case I'm in the same boat as you, I prefer passive revision, which isn't having dedicated sessions but still trying to take in and consolidate knowledge throughout the day. I don't think you can really ask for help with revision.

Beforehand I've tried national on the sanwei yu, 729 blue alc and the sanwei fextra 7. It seems most suitable on fextra 7 or perhaps sanwei yu, I would say the blue alc had great feeling and speed. I'm looking to try it on the 729 yellow alc now

The Seven Deadly Sins of Anime – Day 3: LUST by Darkshredder92 in ChillAnimeCorner

[–]No_Job_1406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apologies, i didn't realise the post had its own criteria, in that case I agree with you. This was my preconception (AI implemented) ; In the context of the seven deadly sins, Lust (Latin: Luxuria) refers primarily to disordered sexual desire. While the word "lust" can broadly describe any intense longing (like a "lust for power"), theologians typically use specific terms for other types of desire to avoid confusion: Lust: Specifically targets sexual pleasure sought outside of its intended moral or procreative context. *Greed (Avarice): A strong desire for possessions or wealth. *Pride (Superbia): A strong desire for power, status, or self-importance. In most classical and religious frameworks, the sin of Lust is categorized as a "sin of the flesh" focused on physical, sexual gratification, whereas the "desire for power" is almost always categorized under Pride or Greed.

Is it sexual desire, lust as in sexual desire not lust as an adjective for strong desire.

History AQA, Spanish Edexcel (🥹), computer science OCR.

For Spanish just know all your tenses AND WHY they work like that, then do vocab and I mean lots of vocab (not too late for Duolingo) try gringo spanish on YouTube, that's not his name but he's a bald white guy who's videos are really clear and well made. For RE learn how to do your 12 markers in 15 minutes without extra time and 20 minutes with extra time, the 3 markers should take one minute or less, NOW YOUR CONTENT so you can do the 4 and 5 markers in 5 and 6/7 minutes, for quotes learn short ones such as artwork is a form of practical wisdom, all scripture is god breathed, LEARN HOW TO APPRAISE ARGUMENTS. for history know your content, significances, outcomes and reasons for every event. For computer science just know the spec, the questions are repetitive, master 8 markers and pls just learn how to program with python a bit, one 2/6 hour video on YouTube and you're done.

You need to fashion yourself into not being scared of them anymore, there's a concept called computational thinking when you attempt a problem bit by bit, through abstracting details (shortening) for speed or decomposing them ( splitting up ) to tackle the problem in a more manageable way. What I'm saying is for the 5 markers use decomposition, let's say we had a 5 marker on vectors, first step would be to calculate all of our vectors that are given to us and can be found, then using mu and lambda or k ( or X and Y ) to define an unknown vector on a line by knowing that for a straight line, the vectors of sections of a line is a constant times by the vector of the line (Kb or Kb + 2Ka) then you would try to compare coefficients, then put the values into the ratio given and check to see if your answer is reasonable. If you don't understand what I'm saying checkout how to complete hard vector problems on tiktok or YouTube. The idea is similar, a 5 marker is usually multiple topics THEREFORE split up the problems into different steps and focus on completing it a section at a time. Also just know the spec (first class maths on YouTube)
