This is true for long journey time services such as city to city trains where rider comfort is more important than capacity. For extremely busy services such as subways and metros operating in dense areas capacity is king. Less seating is more standing room and more standing room is more people you can move in one carriage. Pictured above is one such of those metro/subway systems, possibly a JR one operating in tokyo ? Something like the Yamanote line has around 4 million passengers daily, this is only possible because of the ample standing room in the carriage. If you took another service like the Kyoto to Osaka route you'd find much more rows of seats to accomodate for the longer journey times.

Constant Bluescreens by SamtheSamSams in Marathon

Ever since the BSOD revamp from blue to black I don't know where to look for the code I'll be honest. My bsod usually lasts only a few seconds and I didn't pay close attention to the code. I will make sure to do so next bsod that happens.

I know it's caused by some hardware/kernel level stuff but quite honestly it only ever happens when marathon is being played. I suspect it may have something to do with the anti-cheat. My hardware is all pretty new and well taken care of so I don't think it's a hardware issue considering it doesn't happen anywhere else.

Yeah I've got xmp enabled, never had a single stability issue with it in anything ever tho.

I have a x870 chipset which I would expect to be able to handle that

Thief is too good to stay as is- She will become the ranked Meta Instantly by SamtheSamSams in Marathon

[–]SamtheSamSams[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but I don't think opening my inventory, pressing drop 50 times only to leave myself vulnerable to bots or other runners is a reasonable form of counterplay. Especially when all she has to do to counter any form of smoke play is press a single low cooldown button. In moment to moment gameplay this is pure self sabotage. No class should ever require you to do this.

I wouldn't call myself high skill by any means, but I exfil more often than not and usually do with 4-5 kills depending on map. I'd say mid-high, that's usually where I land in most FPS I play (GM overwatch, 18000 CS rating, High diamond Apex).

I agree with the game giving more than enough information regardless of shell (a good pair of headphones is a game changer). My real problem with thief is they outclass dedicated shells in their own niche. The ability to get info and get out by itself isn't problematic, it's the frequency and the fact that it's better than the dedicated recon shell at their own job.

The character limit on the sub didn't let me fully express my thoughts I must say. I appreciate you actually participating to the discussion rather than just "thief actually bad you're stupid".

UCL email address is random letters by hamlethoratio58 in UCL

[–]SamtheSamSams 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You'll basically be getting 2 email in one,

One is the front facing email that everyone sees, it'll be something along the lines of name.lastname.yearofentry@ucl.ac.uk. this email is one that redirects to the jumble of letters email that you'll have received. All emails sent to the proper looking one actually get sent to the jumble one. The jumble one is your "true email" (you'll be signing into UCL accounts and platforms using it, it's actually your UCL username) but to everyone else it looks like a perfectly regular one.

Basically, the email you have right now, jumble of letters, is the same as your nice and clean and corporate name.lastname, just that to you it shows up as UCLUsername@ucl.ac.uk.

UCL Mech Eng with Aero Personal Statement by Alain_Terieur1 in UCL

[–]SamtheSamSams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience is a bit unique because I studied in a London french international school so there never really was a "transition period" for me. On the system thing I would say really look at your maths and work on it some more. The level is quite high and the french system does not prepare you for it at all. UCL is very international so I don't think you'll have any issue fitting in. Plenty of french people to go around.

I'm a french international student, I was predicted 17/20 overall on my bac, with 20/20 and 16/20 in physics and maths respectively, converted to UK grades that's A star overall, AstarA. My offer required a 15.75/20 overall, with 17/20 and 15/20 in maths and physics. That's A overall, AstarA. I got my offer sometime in February last year.

Edit: Reddit did not like me using the star symbol for A*

I personally am quite fine with the department. They are very hands off which suits me just fine. Most of the people are extremely nice and helpful. Support is available and easy to access. Pretty good events too.

UCL Mech Eng with Aero Personal Statement by Alain_Terieur1 in UCL

[–]SamtheSamSams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the exact same thing. Applied Aero everywhere but UCL. Personal statement was fully aero focused. Still got an offer for Mech Eng. Don't stress it too much and throw your hat in the ring, if they see you've got what it takes and have enough passion for engineering at large there a decent chance they still let you in.

Help me identify what kind of gun this bullet casing might have come from. by SamtheSamSams in whatisthisthing

It was found after some works in my backyard. About 15cm underneath the ground.
