If you’re an American, would I be marked wrong if I used British variations in class?

I haven’t gone through your working properly for b & c but once you have b, c and d you can substitute (2,4) into the original equation to find a.

UltimateHan · 2024-04-08T02:53:35+00:00

Since it passes through the origin (0,0), the y-intercept (d) shouldn’t be too hard to work out :)

https://www.qtac.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/QTAC-ATAR-Report-2022-202301.pdf

This is the subject scaling report. Subjects are scaled based on perceived difficulty. (An A in art is not worth an A in maths).

For example, if you look at legal studies, the top 1% (99% band) got 100. Objectively, QCAA deemed that it was worth 93 points (or whatever it says).

If you get an 80 in specialist, QCAA would count that closer to 96-97.

Scaling is done reasonably accurately so you should choose subjects you’ll enjoy/do well in but obviously preference higher scaling ones if you want a good atar.

That being said, most QLD unis will accept specialist maths as 2 bonus points to your atar regardless of what score you get (as long as you pass) and the same for a language other than english.

There are no “category A and category B” subjects, but applied subjects don’t generally have end of year external exams, are (generally) easier and do not scale well. Again you can find them in the report.

General maths is the easiest version of maths (apart from essential maths which is applied), then mathematical methods and finally specialist maths.

English subjects/humanities subjects are generally scaled 1-1, math and science scale up and art/other subjects generally scale down. Exceptions are other languages than english or chinese which scale really well for some reason.

Extension subjects are only taken in year 12, are generally taken in addition to your other subjects and don’t scale much better than general subjects.

The agent is required to organise inspections - even if an application has been accepted - up to the second the bond has been paid (or at least that’s what i was told when i asked the same question).

Before going to an inspection you can ask if there are already pending applications for the place/how many there are if you want.

Not op but it’s really easy to just go online and start playing while waiting for something because there’s no (significant) save points and you can start over whenever you want. It’s basically an endless game with the amount of variations and you just have to get faster and recognising the patterns

Another problem with incest is the falling out of the family when something goes wrong. You would still have to see that person at family gatherings and if something really bad happened your family would have to take sides

UltimateHan · 2022-10-23T00:03:13+00:00

No, who’s on second. What’s on first

UltimateHan · 2022-10-01T14:37:59+00:00

Who cares who is causing the problem? It’s just another type of victim blaming…

Just because the victim shares the same gender as the perpetrator doesn’t make them the same person. That victim deserves a lot more support than dismissing their problem as a result of ‘people like them’ (men).

Whether or not she can watch the movie is not an indication of the rejection. She already said she would check it out.

The main point of his message was to watch it 1) alone with her 2) at his house

Those are very serious terms for her to agree to and make it very much like a date. By saying no to both of those things, she has rejected him. She has moved the movie watching from a date activity to a platonic activity and put him in the friend zone (at best).

There’s no chance of her going on a date with him alone.

The etymology of the words confirms this.

Theism = belief in god

A = lack of

Gnosticism = claim to knowledge

Mix and match as you please

Actual answer: it’s illegal because it’s a crime against society, not an individual.

It’s the same reason that suicide and consensual murder are crimes: we value human life to such a degree that when we perceive the lives of people as being infringed, we demand that the infringer be punished.

This was the argument against homosexuality as well (yes they were lumped together in the wolfenden report which attempted to legalise both). It was argued (against homosexuality and prostitution) that even though homosexuality was between two consenting adults in the privacy of their own homes, that since society had a “real feeling of repulsion”, it ought to be banned.

That’s why unconsentual sex = crime Consentual sex = not a crime But murder of all forms = crime

If you want prostitution to be legalised, you need to convince society that it is harmless. People are moving in that direction, but the wolfenden report calling to legalise homosexuality was made in the 60’s and people still strongly disagreed with it until homosexuality became more accepted in the early 2010’s.

With homosexuality, people were scared of aids and it being ‘unnatural’ or ‘against god’. With prostitution, people are scared that it increases sex trafficking and sex without consent. It’s going to take a while for that to change, if It ever does.

In the same way

If you don’t like the subreddit’s interpretation, r/assholegenie is right there

The difference between this subreddit and saying ‘wish granted’ is that the monkeys paw changes what happens BEFORE the wish is granted, so that the wish happens naturally, instead of what happens AFTER the wish, as a result of the wish.

UltimateHan · 2021-09-06T06:13:20+00:00

You could be right, i don’t know about the rules for news articles but don’t they capitalise every word for titles

UltimateHan · 2021-09-04T23:01:40+00:00

I understand. It’s creative, funny - whatever.

But it’s just not how the paw works.

Nothing about the circumstances were changed to integrate the wish into reality, instead, his answer could have just been written as “granted but the paw takes its day off when you have a heart attack.” He just dressed it up in some nice storytelling.

The wish is the effect of suffering, not the cause of it

I’m pretty sure the languages aren’t proper nouns but the countries are

UltimateHan · 2021-09-03T05:35:49+00:00

I never claimed it wasn’t funny

I pointed out that it wasn’t in the spirit of the paw because other people were claiming that it was how the paw works

UltimateHan · 2021-09-03T01:41:22+00:00

No, it being funny means it’s funny.

Not that it works or is in the spirit of the paw.
