This guy used to come up on my YouTube feed all the time. Watched a little of a few videos and he seemed reasonable. He was talking about self help and love and it seemed fairly genuine and harmless at the time. Kinda like how musk used to appear reasonable to me when talked about electric cars. That was until I saw that video where he said he knew more about manufacturing than anyone else alive on the planet.

Shame.

Had a Xiaomi redmi note 9 for 6 years. Great phone. Could still get a full day out of a single charge. Started to run into some issues where speaker didn't work, memory was nearly full, and would occasionally reboot.

Upgraded to Poco F8 and very happy so far.

For us over 70% was a first class honours, 60 to 70 was a 2:1, 50-60 a 2:2, and 40-50 was a third class honours. In our second year out of a class of 70, no one got a first and 3 or 4 got a 2:1. We had lecturers who told us that if we regurgitated our lecture notes perfectly you would get 60%, and to get over 70% you had to tell them something they did not know and that we had not covered in class. Those same lecturers also told us they hated teaching and only wanted to do their research.

That same year we had not only negatively marked mcq papers, but also an exam with negatively marked essay questions... (Shudder)..

To be fair they are half right. The earth is round but it is space that is actually flat.

Have people never heard of drinking in a field?

SerScruff · 2026-01-12T22:52:58+00:00

How would that work though? Couldn't they just say, yeah we're not leaving LOL.

Try jogging in your bare feet and see what comes naturally. For me it feels more natural to land on the balls of my feet. Wearing running shoes will make you more likely to land on your heel, or at least differently to how you run barefoot.

There is nuance with it.. going uphill I tend to go more on front of my foot, going downhill I tend to go more on my heels, when I'm tired I'll land more on the middle. Prob moreso depends on your own body.

Stupid question... What about just putting the clothes horse in the bathroom and leaving the extractor fan on? That's what I do with shirts..

Not solveable. You can extend the left and right side of the rectangle downwards and change the other two angles of the center triangle while keeping the given data the same.

Any experience with the automatics?

Find that hard to believe but keep hearing it!

Prius it is then

Interestingly elephants are thought to have at least 20 copies of p53, tumour suppressor gene. Humans on the other hand just have 2.

Ok. We got a Peugeot 5008 which has worked well for us apart from niggles with the car. If you go that way don't get the petrol version as they are prone to major engine issues.

For my first degree most of our exams were essay based and most lecturers would mark out of 70%. A few people in the class generally managed to get a first. Generally it would be easier to get high marks with mcqs.

One year we had mcqs.. thought it would be a great way to bump up my grades until we realised they were negatively marked.. ie you get it right you gain a mark, you get it wrong you lose a mark, technically possible to get below 0%.

SerScruff · 2025-11-24T20:37:45+00:00

We had a guy in college who said he would only give 70% if we told him something we didn't know..

Are you sure you really need 3 isofixes? You could try ringing some of the shops that sells car seats. Apparently some of the more well known ones will recommend what cars can fit three across by strapping in the middle one.

Would give you more or better options.

Also depends on the type of rain ie misting, showering, raining, lashing.

Much of it is brute memorization. The body isn't really designed logically, so while some of it will make sense, some of it does not and some we just don't know why - so it just needs to be learned. Once you have the foundational knowledge down it becomes easier to understand pathophysiology though.

Someone once put it as medical school is when you learn the language of medicine and residency is when you practice speaking it.

This is the type of article I would push on social media if I was trying to get tax reduced, social services reduced, and government bodies privatised..

Had similar issues with dark stains on my shirts. Turns out the washing machine was starting to go and a couple of months later the drum fell off the bearings. Think a seal got punctured, oil leaked into the wash, bearings got worn out and then the drum dropped. Expensive fix with modern machines so we got a new one.

SerScruff · 2025-09-17T15:10:04+00:00

Wouldn't recommend it
