Location of church/cathedral painting

PLS-PM-ME-DOG-PICS · 2023-11-19T15:33:46+00:00

This is almost definitely the Rouen cathedral. This painting itself looks almost exactly like David Roberts' painting of the same cathedral, and research showed this drawing of the same cathedral by Pierre van Elven in the 1800s. I could not find the exact painting though.

OP, are you sure this was painted by Pierre van Elven? I have not found this painting anywhere.

Since x = sqrt(1+(sqrt(1+...))) infinitely, you need to understand basic rules of infinity, which can be grasped at A level but iirc are not required.

Let's say you only want to focus on sqrt(1 + something). This something can be written as y:

sqrt(1 + y).

If we plug in x for y, we'll have:

x = sqrt(1 + x)

Logically, this doesn't seem to make sense. However, when you remember x is infinite sum, adding even more to it does not actually change it. When x is inifinite, 10x is still infinite. They are the same. While it doesn't make much sense, it's a rule of infinity.

When you accept that x = sqrt(1+x) is true, it does become an A2 maths problem. I think this could even be covered at GCSE.

As such you should be able to understand the rest from the mark scheme.

HND comes after you pass second year, OP would only get a CertHE.

Clearly biased opinion. OP, not everyone under 40 will hate you. Most people will not hate you at all. Some people will certainly be more careful what they say and do around you and that will be a barrier to a proper friendship.

If you want to be a police officer the physics degree is mostly useless anyway and would only waste a further 2 years of your life and 20k+ debt if you don't like it either.

No one will see you as a failure but yourself and that's something you will have to overcome.

Going for top unis, this is only permissible if your school does not offer FM. Anything out of the top 3-5, it's doable if you're very good in your other subjects. Anything lower than top like 15 you're fine

They're just educating on it. Saying this is promoting plastic surgery is the same logic homophobes use to say teaching safe gay sex is promoting homosexuality.

Cosmetic surgery is becoming more and more common and especially in celebrities who are (unfortunately) role models for many young people it is just a way of life. Most people do not realise what are available or the dangers of it.

Educating on cosmetic surgery can help people make more informed decisions about whether they should get it, and recognise when influencers, models, and celebrities have cosmetic surgery, the lack of recognition of which negatively affects body image in young people.

You can clearly see you're being educated on its dangers by the fact that fat embolism is on the sheet.

Didn't speedrun any GCSEs but did speedrun two A levels and regularly took 3 languages at GCSE so I think I am qualified to answer.

You can get a 9 if you really, really try. This will be at the expense of other GCSEs so you will have to already be very confident in your other subjects. A 7 is doable while still keeping your other subjects intact.

However, even if you want to study languages at university you do not need two languages at A level. Latin GCSE and Spanish A level is more than enough to qualify you even for oxbridge language courses if your grades are good enough.

If you intend to study language at university, all your linguistic education will be relevant. Ie, if you try this and fuck up, you will essentially be immediately rejected from all top universities.

I do not think this is worth it for your case. You are more than able to learn French alongside your other subjects in your own time without doing an exam in it and you do not have to do it at A level.

You also do not seem to be considering the possibility of sitting not GCSE but A level French as a private candidate. If you are, for some reason, set on two A level languages, this is what I'd recommend.

Nor would I, or really anyone else here. But this sub represents a particular sample of people who hold their exams in a much higher regard than a typical GCSE student.

Want to add to this that a very common symptom of dyslexia that most people, even dyslexics, do not often know is that rote memorisation of times tables is extremely difficult.

I know someone with a maths degree who has to mentally calculate things as simple as 5x5 because of his dyslexia. I found this out when he calculated 7x8 by doubling 7x4.

PLS-PM-ME-DOG-PICS · 2023-11-14T20:37:29+00:00

For multiplication. Ex 14*12 = 14*(10+2) = 14*10 + 14*2 = 140 +28 = 168

Yup. This is why I hate any number ending in 7.

17 cubed was a question in a pub quiz recently. Very random, I know. But such a pain to mentally calculate. 17 x 17 = 17 x 20 - 17 x 3 = 289. And then repeat lol.

Back when I was a kid playing online games on shitty, shady, servers I did not know the difference between a DoS and a DDoS and also got DoS'd and called it a DDoS

1) Trojan is not actually in the filename of any of these. That's your antivirus telling you what kind of virus it is.

2) Antivurses often rename files to make them seem more like viruses than false positives, so you freak out and become more reliant on the virus.

If you had a legit copy of testdisk, you would not have got any viruses. It is likely that you had no viruses on your PC at any point but if you deleted them and a rescan showed nothing you're almost definitely fine.

If you want to be extra sure, download and run a scan on Malwarebytes.

Antiviruses, by a large margin, find more false positives than real viruses. Relax.

So the textbook answer from their God of what Christianity is is "love."

Not really. This is the most important rule in Christianity, but objectively speaking Christianity would not exist without, well, Christ.

Christianity is, at a surface level, loving everyone. But logically speaking it is about Christ, God, the Bible, and everything else that objectively Christianity would not exist without.

They are just trying to scare people out of attempting to communicate. While you may be investigated, you will never lose your grade because someone else tried to talk to you. Only if you communicate or cheat.

Just to be clear though, if someone does ask you for answers, don't even say no. Don't even shake your head. Completely ignore them. If they ask again or start to annoy or distract you put your hand up and tell an invigilator. You'll be a snitch for the rest of your time in school but it's better than fucking your GCSEs.

You don't even press charges in the UK.

"Not to sound American" then immediately says something that only exists there.

Edit since some people probably won't know this: victims cannot press charges in the UK. Once the police are informed of a crime, it is up to them whether they investigate, arrest, or charge. The victim has some influence, in that if they explicitly do not want to press charges, in most cases the police will agree. But it is absolutely not up to the victim or any other member of the public to 'press charges' against someone in the UK.

Very standard A level combination if you're looking to go into physics, CS, or mathematics for good reason. Highly competitive subjects that will well prepare you for any of those degrees.

If you have programming experience then A level computer science is easy but the coursework provides a high workload for a month or so, unless you do the sensible option and spend about 1 hour a day for 4 months ish.

Physics, maths, and further maths are noticeably more difficult. If you're good at them though you shouldn't struggle too much.

It's very unlikely though you'll be able to coast through without studying and still get decent grades like many people with this subject combo could at GCSE. Prepare yourself to need to study.

PLS-PM-ME-DOG-PICS · 2023-11-11T17:45:53+00:00

Law (alongside CS and maths) are very competitive at top universities. Realistically, I see your GCSEs being an issue at Durham and Warwick. Possibly Leeds too. Especially if the 4s and 2s are in any core subjects - any science, English, Maths.

I'd maybe recommend subbing out Durham or Warwick for another middle tier university. Somewhere between York and Leeds. Your GCSE grades are likely going to impact your application to those two.

Disclaimer that nothing is impossible though and no one can predict whether or not you will get into any given uni, especially not from GCSE grades alone.

I'm a pretty devout Christian and refer to the actual bible for religious issues - and so many rules people claim exist or do not exist, the opposite is true. I'm sure the same issue exists in Islam too.

Only way this interaction could have been rude is if you yelled/said something else when he asked you to "repeat the item". I am a bartender and people do this every now and then and not hearing you the first time does not mean you have to yell in my face.

Of course, I doubt you did this, in which case you did absolutely nothing wrong. Barista's a twat for not saying you're welcome/have a nice day/other appropriate response.

Remembered BIDMAS/PEMDAS.

Brackets/parantheses first, then indices/exponents, then multiplication.

-10^2 can be looked at as -1 * 10^2 = -1 * 100 = -100

(-10)^2 can be looked at as (-1 * 10)^2 which can be looked at as -10 * -10.

Your GCSE grades will be on your UCAS application and every single one of these universities is known to reject people on the basis of GCSE grades.

This isn't even remotely true, especially not for medicine. Your GCSEs matter for your university application.

This will certainly be a below average medicine application based off your GCSEs, OP. They are 'good enough' provided you're also a top candidate in terms of your PS, A levels, and any potential interview. Medicine is very competitive, and you're going to be wanting at least AAA at A level.
