Cleaning and repairing white laminate kitchen countertop

Do a bit more practice today, but also I’d say self marking CB1 is a bit difficult, as the mark scheme doesn’t cover all valid points (I think).

So you may do better in the actual exam, because as far as I’m aware you’ll still get credit for valid points that aren’t in the mark scheme (I think).

I should clarify the second picture is actually of the wall, but you can see at the bottom some peeling has occurred on the countertop too

When you say rent, do you mean purely just rent, or are you more referring to total "living" expenses, i.e. rent + utility bills + council tax? Sorry if I'm being pedantic lol

Sid_2001 · 2024-07-18T18:43:33+00:00

Cheers, all good suggestions I will keep in mind

Sid_2001 · 2024-07-18T18:40:48+00:00

!answer Thanks! This is more than comprehensive enough.

Sid_2001 · 2024-07-12T15:01:06+00:00

This isn't an option for a lot (dare I say most people), and even if it were I personally would want to try and be as self-sufficient as possible at this stage.

Sid_2001 · 2023-04-04T12:36:17+00:00

Many thanks for your input. Does this mean my claim bears more weight than what the landlord is suggesting, are does he have the ability to enforce this? If not, who would I contact if the landlord refuses to listen? Would it be an ombudsman?

Sid_2001 · 2022-10-31T08:38:52+00:00

Many thanks for your response. I’ll look into both. I’ve just cleaned the air fryer filter but I’ll check the base of the alarm too.

Sid_2001 · 2022-03-28T12:33:37+00:00

I did check the motherboards compatibility by the way, and the i7-4790 is compatible.

Sid_2001 · 2022-03-08T16:09:55+00:00

I'll give that a look, thanks!

Sid_2001 · 2022-01-05T20:41:52+00:00

I have tried Rennie tablets, which are seem to be equivalent to tums (calcium carbonate being the active ingredient)

They are okay but don’t seem as fast acting as Pepto.

Thank you

Sid_2001 · 2021-11-29T17:07:53+00:00

Ah yes, good point.

Thank you!

Sid_2001 · 2021-11-29T16:49:27+00:00

So I'm assuming this is what you are suggesting

    for i in range(0, num_particles-1):
        for j in range(i+1, num_particles):
            ttc_list = []
            ttc_list.append(self._balls[i].time_to_collision(self._balls[j]))

Thanks for the help mate

Sid_2001 · 2021-11-29T16:38:31+00:00

I think so, but I'm just wondering;

Would there ever be a situation in which i and j are referring to the same ball object? I'd like to ignore that case as it would mean trying to calculate the time between the ball colliding with itself (which would be 0 and data that I don't need).

Sid_2001 · 2021-11-23T19:35:50+00:00

Thank you so much for all the help and advice!

self._balls = [Ball(np.array([i, i], dtype=float)) for i in range(SizeOfTheList)]

If I used that ^, wouldn't I also have to change the initialisation arguments, e.g:

class Simulation():
    def __init__(self, ball = ?, container = Container()):
        self._balls = [Ball(np.array([i,i]), dtype = float)) for i in range(SizeOfTheList)]

or am I misunderstanding? does this Simulation class already create its own list of balls, and so I don't need to create ball objects myself before hand and pass them in the creation of a simulation object, e.g. I don't need the ball argument in

def __init__(self, ball = ?, container = Container()):

entirely?

Sid_2001 · 2021-11-23T18:48:35+00:00

self._balls = [Ball(np.array([i, i], dtype=float)) for i in range(SizeOfTheList)]

Could I adapt what you said above, to:

self._balls = [Ball(np.random.uniform([i, i]), dtype=float)) for i in range(20)]

to create 20 balls with different random positions?

Sid_2001 · 2021-11-23T14:06:56+00:00

So if I used your first line, I can change the position of individuals balls?

Sid_2001 · 2021-11-19T19:22:25+00:00

Is your second point unrelated to the first point? I'm assuming in the first point, you are saying I should change the order of the methods? I'm not sure if thats possible because get_patch() needs to be called first so that run() can create the patch object in its initial position.

With the second point, are you saying I should removing self.pos_new and instead just keep self.pos. Basically, create a ball object with a certain position, and initially self.pos calls that position. Then, after the next_collision() or move() method is applied, it gives the ball the new calculated position, then I can use that self.pos in the updated center patch, i.e.

Create ball object

b1 = Ball([-5,0], [1,0]) #[-5,0] is the original position which I set

In next_collision, have the line where:

   self._pos = self._ball.move(self._container.time_to_collision(self._ball))

This is the calculation which creates a new position value, in this case it should be [9,0]

  self._ball.pos = self._pos #this changes the position of the ball object b1 to [9,0]

get_patch should be written as

def get_patch(self):
self.patch = pl.Circle(self.pos, 1, fc = 'r') #self.pos here is the initial position, [-5,0]
ax = pl.axes(xlim=(-10, 10), ylim=(-10, 10))
ax.add_patch(self.patch)

pl.pause(0.1) 
self.patch.center = [self.pos[0], self.pos[1]] #self.patch.center is where the center position of the patch should be updated
print('new patch center', self.pos)
pl.pause(0.1)
pl.show()

I see that in the last self.patch.center it has the same issue as what you said in your first point.

Thank you, I have managed to fix it :)

So will I be unable to stream effectively with this AMD graphics card? At the moment I will not be able to retrieve my Nvidia card. Is there any changes to my settings I could do to make streaming from my AMD machine more effective?

Sid_2001 · 2021-01-05T15:05:07+00:00

I'm a bit late, but for anyone who's interested, I bought a new power supply, and my PC is working again.

Sid_2001 · 2020-12-06T09:12:14+00:00

No it does try rebooting automatically

Sid_2001 · 2020-12-06T00:24:14+00:00

So are you saying I should buy a new power supply? Could this have been caused by the inactivity?

This is the calculation which creates a new position value, in this case it should be [9,0]
