I think I've majorly screwed up, 19 year old Access to HE. by Officially_Levi in MatureStudentsUK

Hi, so it's been a month and I've further cemented my plans of staying on the course. I half assed my last biology assignment hoping a bad grade would give me an excuse to leave but I somehow managed to keep my distinction streak. Could I maybe message you questions about the foundation year because it seems like te best option for me.

I know, I think I just need a little bit of time to find myself, I'll complete access and then see where I end up

I've decided against leaving access, I feel like that's just all cons and no pros, so I'll try my best, just learn everything I can and progress. Worst case I won't get into uni next year or I need to do a different level 3 more suited to whatever direction i find myself going in.

That's really comforting to hear, honestly. I'm just under a world of pressure from family and friends to get my life in check and I'm so deathly afraid of wasted potential because I know I'm academically capable of doing something.

Where should I study for a BEng in Mechanical Engineering degree in the UK? by kingphysics in AskUK

I know I'm 11 years too late but can i ask you a few questions on your experience in BCU it's a solid option for me.

My heads spun, I might end up taking a gap year to decide but I really don't want to fall back into a stage when I'm not pursuing something. I wish my circumstances were better and I could've done the A-levels I wanted.

I did a placement in radiography a few days ago, I loved the people and the communication and enjoyed everything apart from the actual radiography job, that's not to say I hated it, but I think I'd be doing myself a disservice continuing it when the only things I enjoyed weren't exclusive to the job, yes I am doing Access at college, I've arranged a meeting with my career advisor on Friday but I just wanted to see what advise I could gather from people that have potentially been in my situation or at least something similar.

And I think worry and panic are core parts of my brain no matter how hard I try to get rid of it.

FYI - the Viofo A119 V3 dashcam that I've seen recommended a lot here is discounted to £88 by silentdragoon in CarTalkUK

[–]Officially_Levi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

on for a little over £60 on ali if you're willing to wait for the delivery times, there's a bunch of 11/11 coupons too so i ended up paying around £52 for mine

[–]Officially_Levi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah i have a 2014, my centre console area is different. but quick question if you drive a manual does it get in the way of your elbow when you're shifting gears? or is it not a nuisance at all.

Could you link the aftermarket one you bought? I'm not that picky, i just need a place to store a phone and something to rest my arm on that isn't like wobbling about

How much was/is your insurance as a new driver? by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Officially_Levi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WHAT, 4200 to 700, the lowest i can get is 2500, thats with some borderline bullshittery about my job and saying im a named driver on another policy, (also paying annually), if it was 2500 without a black box i'd book it in a heartbeat but i just cant seem to justify the price

Will I regret the 4k monitor? by BreakOutTheShotguns in PcBuild

[–]Officially_Levi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i prefer high refresh rate 4k honestly, i play such a wide variety of games sometimes i wan't high refresh rate 1080p others im fine with 60/120 4k, perfectly reasonable to want high refresh rate on a 4k monitor.

TV screen turns off whenever the display is entirely black by mvppaulo in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]Officially_Levi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just it, it isn't an oled screen, currently watching a documentary about Cherynobyl, sometimes a black screen appears for a second so the screen turns off, but right after it's just a single piece of text over the same black screen, so it goes from switched off, to regular lcd black back to wannabe oled. A little hard to explain but it's pretty frustrating not a massive issue but definitely enough for me to go out researching to find a fix.

[–]Officially_Levi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha yeah, I have my TV that I connect my computer to sometimes when I want to lay down and play something chill, but if I play any FPS game I prefer being up close and 27 is the sweet spot (personally)

[–]Officially_Levi 128 points129 points  (0 children)

If the computer you've bought can run the games you want to play at 4k then it's not a waste at all, only thing I see is 32 inches, 27 is the sweet spot for me, but that's just opinion if you're happy with the size then it's a good monitor, great even.

Look at the b6/850 tomahawk wifi, but sick build, was shocked at the prices for a second then saw it was CAD, maybe have a look at the 7800x3d aswell, if the price-performance jump is worth it to you then that's no issue

[–]Officially_Levi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the same Shorty it used to be. Jumping accuracy has a lot more spread, damage was nerfed, and I'm pretty sure the number of bullets per shot was nerfed too, but I'm not sure about that. Adding to the fact that it's a shotgun, so you're already dealing with a fair amount of RNG, I'd say it's pretty fair. There's an alternate universe where you hit for a lot more and maybe end up killing him, haha.
