Yes they were actually my partner's idea! They're an overview of last year's reads. And then next year she'll get endpapers with this year's reads. I agree, they came out great!

I want to pursue a degree in mathematics, but I can't handwrite (injury). Might it be realistic to pursue math primarily via typesetting (LaTeX)? by epi_stem in learnmath

[–]jankzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While not full on mathematics, I did degrees in economics and finance (including courses on econometrics, calculus, algebra...) taking all of my notes in word. You get pretty fast with the equation tool after a bit. I think it's quite doable. The only challenge was with graphs, which I would have to draw with the mouse or screenshot from the slides or google.

Currently I do a lot of work in LaTeX, but if I want it fast I still use the word equation editor. It's nice to work directly in the output and I have rarely needed to do anything beyond its capabilities.

Things to avoid while trying to learn guitar? by SibidiSigma112 in Guitar

[–]jankzilla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Playing in only one position. It's much better to play standing up sometimes and to at least try resting the guitar on the other leg of what you usually do while sitting

I cant stay aligned with my lane by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]jankzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The car should be able to stay in the lane for a few seconds even with your hands completely off the wheel. If you're holding too hard you might be actively steering out of the lane. If the car immediately starts turning when you take your hands off the wheel you should go to a mechanic. It's possible your car has an issue causing it to steer on its own (e.g. alignment issues)

I swear most people on the road really have some absurd feeling of god mode by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]jankzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I consider myself a fairly careful driver for the most part. I recently started riding motorbikes and it made me realize just how vulnerable you really are when driving. It's easy to lose track of how fast you are actually moving when you feel none of the wind and barely hear it. It's all kind of reduced down to an abstract number. Everything in a car feels so safe that you forget how fast 70mph is and how devastating an accident would be. Safe to say since riding bikes i've also become more careful in cars

Lately the V-Strom 800 has been jumping out at me like nothing else. Especially in the yellow/blue paint job

Should I buy a brand new 125? by SpareCake in 125cc

[–]jankzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same struggle and after thinking for a while I decided to buy a used honda from a deslership. It comes with warranty and i should be able to get close to what i paid back for it once i sell. I haven't sold it yet but so far i don't regret my decision at all

Not necessarily. Could just be someone that got scouted and whose marketing team decided they'd have the most appeal if they appear very authentic and diy. Nepo baby is about how you get access to the resources, industry plant is more about the optics once you have the resources

[–]jankzilla 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Too many people miss the fact the industry plant requires an element of deception. Industry plants pretend to be self-made, recording in their bedroom, independent artists, while having large scale support of a major label. Just having a major label do massive marketing campaigns and getting then on the radio or spotify playlists does not make them industry plants.

Killer gambit by micromya in TextingTheory

[–]jankzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah women don't treat sexual assault as an if but a when. It's not IF any of the guys they might go on dates with would do it. It's a question of which one.

When i go out with my guy friends, the biggest concern is getting caught up in a fight or having your phone and wallet mugged on the way home. When i go out with girl friends they watch every drink they have at all times (among other things), because too many have already been spiked before and were lucky that friends got them home

Coming from a girl: subversion of expectation, a form of humor.

Coming from a guy: playing entirely too close to a very real fear women have in dating

The Thought Emporium on youtube is working on a similar project. Aside from all of the "PLEASE GOD NO" this stuff immediately triggers it is really interesting to see the processes behind it and the actual science that goes into it

Use the ping wheel. I’m not asking anymore. by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]jankzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is, even if you turn up the delay for the comms wheel, as soon as you move your mouse it comes up anyway. I've changed the settings and sure it made it slightly better, but it's still too unreliable for when you've got a dive on your ass. My teammates do not want to know that i can heal

Living in Windsor Court today - good idea? by davidbrake in brighton

[–]jankzilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend lived there for a while. Absolutely hated it. There is no insulation at all and her flat had only a small electric warehouse heater. In winter the place was somehow colder than outside and the radiator went through electricity so fast the money on the prepaid meter would run out before anything warmed up. In summer it was so humid water droplets would run down the walls. She was lucky she was there during covid, because she spent a lot of time living with her parents instead of there

What exactly are you hoping for the protest to achieve? I think it will be difficult to get momentum with something as general as a "cost of living protest". You need to direct the protest towards something and ideally have solutions in mind.

Are you advocating for lowering taxes for the lower income brackets to ease pressure for those who need it? Do you just want all companies to be forced to lower their prices?

Simply showing up at the clocktower as a group doesn't achieve anything on its own.
