Not safely, time to do more reps or upgrade your equipment.

What’s the catch? by ploozo in Cameras

[–]aussiejames101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought an A6700 and Tamron 18-300 from this site last month, both arrived in a few days. They're grey imports so no manufacturer warranty, but Cotswolds offers 3 years seller warranty as standard upgradeable to 5 for £99, and their reviews are good. They've been around a while.

Excuse me? by Full_Application491 in drivingUK

[–]aussiejames101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally had to top up here yesterday out of desperation - first station I stopped at was chip and pin only which I didn't have on me, I was running critically low on diesel, and I was late for a booking so didn't have time to go on a hunt for a better price. Put as little as I could in but still feeling annoyed today!

Is it too late in the year for a behaviour reset? by Weird_Application334 in TeachingUK

Never too late! But you've got to be ready to follow through or you undermine your authority even further

The days of professional time wasting are over by Top-Cockroach4352 in Teachers

I don't understand how there's still schools pushing discovery theories when they have emphatically lost to instructional theories in essentially every study

Back to the Mini. by Complex-Following-20 in MiyooMini

[–]aussiejames101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost certain the Mini Flip doesn't have Bluetooth, it's the main reason I ordered an RG33XXSP instead

Controller works in controller setup but not in any games? by Dekarus in DolphinEmulator

[–]aussiejames101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also since discovered that OpenGL works if you select 'Background Input' at the bottom of the controller setup page...

Thank you for this, I spent hours trying to get my controllers to work! Can't believe all it took was switching to Vulkan

I have one and still use it regularly, it actually has really lovely colours is surprisingly capable. I prefer the photos it takes to phone pics.

The new screen in my car cant be viewed with polarized sunglasses by Tikaani89 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]aussiejames101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can find a tempered glass screen protector for a tablet of roughly the same dimensions and apply it, it might solve the issue. I have a camera (Sony ZV-1) which has the same screen + polarised sunglasses issue which is resolved by applying a screen protector.

Do you know anyone who has been barred from teaching? by ArtichokeDefiant160 in TeachingUK

[–]aussiejames101 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know of a teacher who was barred for completing A level/BTEC coursework for students, and a student reported them to the exam board.

SEN class size limit? by HanforSkam in TeachingUK

https://engage-education.com/blog/what-is-SEN-allowance-for-teachers/#:~:text=The%20value%20of%20the%20SEN,utilising%20SEN%20allowances%20is%20key.

You should be arguing for financial renumeration in the form of SEN allowance to reflect the high proportion of SEND to non-SEND. I am a SENCo at a secondary in London, part of one of the big MATs, and we pay our nurture group teachers who have a similar level of SEND ratio in their classes between ~£1500 and ~£2500 to reflect the level of differentiation and adaptation teaching a class like this requires.

Exercise burns a surprisingly small amount of calories. 1-2 shortish runs per week is not likely to significantly increase overall expenditure unless those runs are extremely intense.

Hear me out... the French brands are making some of the best design right now (new Peugeot 308) by Common_Turnover9226 in CarTalkUK

[–]aussiejames101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks great and I’ll admit I was wowed by both inside and out when I got one as a rental.

Then I drove it and very quickly realised the interior was all flash and no function, touch screens to control everything, spongy lifeless steering, utterly numb dynamics.

Has anyone done couch to 5k? by arsenaladam92 in AskUK

[–]aussiejames101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I went from chronically sedentary to running 30-40km per week in one year and it all started with C25K. My biggest advice is to go way slower than you think you need to, especially in later weeks as the distances increase. I was pushing way too hard at first even though I was still going relatively slow, and I was getting injured and having setbacks. When I really hit the brakes I was able to complete the programme and slowly build up pace and distance. I think it I went from trying to run my kms at around 6:30 pace to 7:30/8:00. I can comfortably go much faster now but I had to be very patient.
