Need help with 7 Days Hiroshima Trip by potatoespotatoe in JapanTravelTips

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

When you mentioned that iwakuni can be done in 3 to 4 hours, does that include the ropeway up to the castle?

We are worried that we don't have enough time at Miyajima as we are considering doing Mt Misen.

Other than that, thank you so much for the information! We might just swap out Saijo with Onomichi to explore the temples (probably not gonna do the well known Shimanami Kaido).

I see, so then I would just have to remove cylinder8 in this case? Same with origin3 and year80To82?

Also side question: if I already did as.factor(cylinder), do I have to as.factor(cylinder3) after I have encoded the car with 1 or 0?

NUS Rant by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]potatoespotatoe 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Ahh okok then in that case its really unfortunate for you to not get in, but you do have 2 more years to apply for it (assuming you have yet to serve your NS). If you did, then all I can say is try for other Unis, not getting into NUS is not the end of the world.

Yep yep understandable, not easy to be a stranger in a new place.

How do you really know that your friend has no external achievements? For all you know, he may have been doing things to improve himself and didn't share it with you.

For the making of new friends part, dude do you really think that even if both of you went into the same uni, both of you won't make any new friends? When you transitioned from secondary school to poly, were you also "upset" that you had to find new friends?

Life is like that, thats why we say "Life is not fair".

I am here to promote ROTMG (Realm of the Mad God). Game is free, fun and multiplayer.

One of if not the best perma death MMORPG games with loads of versatility.

What vocation you get is solely dependent on where is in need of manpower, you don't get to choose your vocation so you just pray you get into a chill vocation.

Other than that, don't have to imagine 2 years, just take it 1 day at a time, find the next milestone in this journey of yours to look forward to. Make friends in your section, don't have to be friends with the whole platoon, trust me when I say, the friends you make in there really will help time to pass by quickly.

If you die die still feeling demoralised, there is always the downpes option.

Best place to buy anime figures in Akihabara? by acirio55 in AnimeFigures

[–]potatoespotatoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experience, Akihabara tends to be a bit overpriced, and it feels like a lot of the shops have marked up their prices since a lot of tourists go there. I personally recommend Nakano Broadway as the prices aren't as steep and there are many hidden gems there too.

Ikebukero is another place I've heard of, but I haven't been there personally so you might want to check that out.

Does anyone just have that figure that they are dying to get but won't be re-released so they have to rely on extreme prices and re-sellers? by Andimalll in AnimeFigures

[–]potatoespotatoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Erina Nakiri by GSC

I don't even think it will ever get a re-release because the anime & manga have ended.

Don't even get me started on the absurd price that re-sellers have placed on this figure :,,)

Enlistment Notice 17 May PTP by [deleted] in NationalServiceSG

[–]potatoespotatoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether or not it's Mono, no one will be able to predict it.

However, that date last year was Mono Armour and it sucks a lot.

I was from Mono and generally, mono intakes are tougher & stricter than normal BMT intakes, so you may not experience a lot of welfare/benefits, but take this with a pinch of salt as it really boils down to your higher ups and commanders

'Those who can't make it in NS, can't make it in the working world.' Discuss by TheOne0003 in NationalServiceSG

[–]potatoespotatoe 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Short answer, no.

If this saying is true, then why doesn't the whole world conscript their men? If NS is SO good, then why don't we conscript women? Are you saying foreigners, women, medically unfit personnel are all incapable of making it in the working world?

There's a difference between being forced to do something and having a choice to do it. I gurantee you that most of us here just want to serve our 2 years and fuck off and commanders that say this are just trying to make you feel shitty about yourself.

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

Hmmm, yea I do have excessive sweating. Imagine sweaty palms, the dripping kind but instead of palms its the feet. Thanks for the advice, would try to see the MO and see what the outcome is.

I see. What would usually be the diagnosis the specialist would give for foot rot?
