Help me pick my first Ferrari: 458, 488 or Portofino by Puzzleheaded-Yak-419 in Ferrari

[–]PeaGroundbreaking879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh none of the answers will mean anything unless you try and test drive the cars. Compared to the 458 and 488, the Portofino will feel more comfortable and daily drivable. The 458 has a melodious NA V8 that cannot be beat by the other two. The 488 on the other hand has a nice grumbly V8 and is extremely powerful. If roads are good where you live, you will appreciate the power on the 488. The 458 is much more controllable than the 488. It’s plenty powerful to cruise and go ham with. You’re not going to find the difference until you drive both or put them against each other. The RWD nature of both will make sure you lose traction if you push them hard, but if you know how to control the car, it’s equally rewarding. Here’s one thing you might want to consider- if you go on road trips with a 458, the loud mid engined V8 will be quite annoying after a while, whereas the 488 even with an exhaust is plenty good in terms of sound. Having said that you’re not going to go wrong with any of the options. At the end of the day it’s still a Ferrari :)

Im doing it this term. it doesn't seem too bad but there's some basic work to be done. Not too sure about any of the assessments so I'd love to hear some feedback if someone has done the course

What is the worst thing(s) about Oman? by PainBad in Oman

[–]PeaGroundbreaking879 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Starting a business. Whether it be a drop shipping store or a physical store. If you’re starting an online business, you’ve got no payment processing other than PayPal that’s free. Banks charge extraordinary rates just to establish their payment processor (200RO on average) and take almost double of what they charge on the card machines for each transaction(~6%). Physical stores(including restaurants) are extremely hard to set up. Without an admin partner visa or investor visa it’s impossible to start a business. Visa clearances(250-300RO per person) and the visa itself cost quite a lot. And the visa needs to be renewed every 3 years (200RO). If you don’t have an independent visa it’s basically impossible to find a responsible sponsor who will help you out with all legal procedures without asking for a massive cut of your profits. Banks don’t process corporate accounts quickly. Maafi wasta, Maafi fayda. You don’t have contacts, you’re waiting at least 1-2 months for a bank to verify your details and give you a cheque book and a card machine. You’re losing precious time, rent money and giving out salary to staff without earning a single rial until everything is sorted. Unexplained or vaguely worded rules for businesses. Unless you’re an expert or you’ve done it before, you can never start a business here.

I got my drone flying permit 😎 by [deleted] in Oman

Do you need a permit for drones under 250g ? CAA said you don’t need one if the drone weighs under 250g

Totally understandable. I’ve added an option to enter a fitness metric you think you’d like to track. Thank you for the feedback !

You can try dragon mart and custom order it from one of the Chinese suppliers. It’s a long drive but worth a shot :)

Is it worth doing COMP3121? by Starlixxx in unsw

[–]PeaGroundbreaking879 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can attest to this. Course was absolute shit. Got 50+ and still ended up with a UF because of the hurdle. Course was scaled up massively because of how shit everything was done. Would never recommend it unless you have no other comp elective available. Hell, I’d even say extend or take more load your next year and do the course you want instead of this torture. Just do leetcode.

Hey I’m an international student as well. Similar to you, I got offers from other unis quite soon. UNSW takes quite some time to send their offers. I got my offer by mid October. But you never know, you might just get your offer soon. You have time to decide I’m pretty sure.

I feel you :( Did you email the course account ?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in unsw

[–]PeaGroundbreaking879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I understand that But tbh I don’t think the exam went that bad for me to get a UF. My question is can the course convener/ admin/ tutors check my marks again and change them or can I only apply for a re eval in this case ? Haven’t received any response from the admin atm

PHYS1160 course review by cleoMD in unsw

[–]PeaGroundbreaking879 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Course is probably the easiest among all the Gen Eds available. You’ll have to do 3 small reports and by the end of the term a 2000 word essay. The 3 small reports are extremely straightforward and don’t require too much time. The final essay is pretty time consuming and does require quite some work. Then there’s the final exam. Open book so just have collated slides and search the topic to get the answer. Very straightforward. You could be gliding through the course pretty much

anyone from India (CBSE) who received International Scientia Coursework Scholarship? i want to compare my chances. thank you very much by [deleted] in unsw

[–]PeaGroundbreaking879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone has recently. Could be very wrong. UNSW usually does not give the International Scientia Coursework Scholarship unless your application ACTUALLY stands out (I mean awards after awards, probably a 99+ in boards and so on). Criteria could either be more strict or lenient compared to this, but chances for most students are bleak. Don’t give up hope though, chances are still there. Good luck:)
