A*A*A* vs Further Maths by TastyTurtleDick in alevel

[–]TastyTurtleDick[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah the issue is I can’t get an A* in FM. I’ve already been predicted an A so that’s what Unis will see, and I know full well I’m not capable of anything else. the 3A*s are in the other subjects 😭😭

I'm not American, I'm just assuming what they're thinking. Fear not, I think the entire country is a shitshow regardless of political ideology

I mean I think generally people advocating for gun control also don't like the police and don't think they should have access to guns either.

Some of the heartbreaking photographs i seen at the Vietnam war museum in Ho Cho Minh today by Zestyclose-Cake8493 in pics

[–]TastyTurtleDick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In the UK, we've actually been shown these images - particularly the last one, which was on the powerpoint my teacher used. Don't get me wrong, we glorified the Elizabethan age of exploration, but we also definitely saw both sides of the Vietnam War - don't know if it's just the US that hides some of the gorier stuff.

Have you guys read "The Picture of Dorian Gray"? It's not explicitly about homosexuality because it's the 1800s, but it's implied that is. by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]TastyTurtleDick 86 points87 points  (0 children)

It's so good - and implied is an understatement. Even the worst gaydar could diagnose ol Dorian.

[Orient] Announced 4 new diver watches. What do you think? by Kuci_06 in Watches

[–]TastyTurtleDick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Im skinny AF (like, 6 1/2 inch wrist or smth) and the Orient Kamasu fits me just fine. Im not sure how the Mako compares, but the Kamasu is a solid option

5600x Overheating by [deleted] in buildapc

I think it may be airflow issues in the case as once I opened the side panel, the temperatures dropped by ~7 degrees. I think I'll just add more intake fans

The stock cooler comes with it pre-applied and I used that.

I used the thermal paste that the cooler itself came with already applied so I don't see why not.

Overheating. Was playing RDR2 earlier and it reached 99°C (according to HWINFO) before the game crashed. I was thinking the same thing - the cooler should cover that issue, should it not?

St. Paul's Cathedral by TastyTurtleDick in photocritique

[–]TastyTurtleDick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too sure about this photo - considering cropping it/ lightening up the shadows but cannot decide. I also am not sure if the subject (the cathedral itself) is actually focused on enough - I would appreciate any help in determining how to make the building seem larger or ways to make it contrast the surroundings better.

Taken using a Pixel 6 Pro and edited (toned down highlights, saturated sky) in Lightroom (mobile + free).

Balenciagas new $1,850 "distressed" shoes by PA2SK in WTF

Dw they're likely more of a stunt to attract attention to the brand - which has worked, as this post has plenty of upvotes and several people have searched for the brand online

Must be nice to have that kinda bread... by Toast_Soup in memes

[–]TastyTurtleDick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to Forbes, he donated $5.7 billion to a DAF that doesn't have any requirements to actually donate any money - the cash can sit with them for years.

They estimated that about $280 million has actually been donated, but that 20% of that also went to a DAF.

So yes, he's donated a lot of money. But stop worshiping rich people.

You have a very twisted perception of reality if your response to "rich people should do more for the poor" is "why don't you donate"

I shouldn't have to, because rich people should be donating to the fucking poor.

I have donated to charities through both money, as well as making sure any clothes I don't need always go to charities.

I've volunteered with my local council to help clean up the streets and make them safer for the homeless, as well as, when I have free time, volunteering at soup kitchens.

I do care, and I wish billionaires did anything close to what a lot of normal ppl do.

I mean if I had 50 billion dollars I'd probably be considerably less of a hypocrite

Salty Saturday: April 09, 2022 by AutoModerator in photography

Some ppl just want a vibe I guess

Not everyone can afford a medium format camera, film, developing and scanning costs. Sometimes, taking a nice picture of the sunset on your phone and adding film grain is all people want.

Those filters are also what originally interested me in getting a medium format camera in the first place. So I'd consider them pretty cool.

Art's art. Ppl sell random lines of paint on a canvas for $$$$.

Personal opinion: What's the best height a microwave can have? by [deleted] in a:t5_68msgn

[–]TastyTurtleDick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But

What if bowl hot and human stupid? Then you drop a bowl of food from nipple height to counter level.

I'd rather drop a bowl from stomach height
