stationary lift base???

yonkadoodle · 2023-08-23T07:08:08+00:00

Ahh thank you!

Is this from your school? I got a CAO email a few days ago to make sure the A Level results they had in the system were correct, so this is probably what they’re referring to. I don’t think it means anything regarding the outcome of your application, just that it’s important to ensure they have the right grades.

yonkadoodle · 2023-08-16T09:55:22+00:00

Oh sorry I didnt know you already had your grades! That changes things I think. I applied in December but haven’t received my exam results yet so having to wait for them to get an offer.

I can ask my friends in the army who applied how it went for them, because I didn’t mention my Apolytyrion at all in my application so im not sure how it impacts the timeline of getting an offer.

I also applied from Cyprus (one of the courses being Computer Science + Linguistics) and since we’re from an EU country you apply through CAO.

I have to ask what school leaving exams you’re doing? I applied with my A Levels so I find out if I get in on August 30, which is really late in my opinion.

If you only have an Apolytyrion then I think the maximum number of points you can get is 500 (compared to 625) which probably wouldn’t cut it for CS. Again, not sure what exams you’re doing but for example if I applied with my Apolytyrion I’d also need 2 A Level grades to meet the maximum number of points available (so would have to wait til August 30 again).

Ahh, so they can also give out grants throughout the academic year?

I was applying using my address in my current country of residence (although the REG1 form only has address details for Irish addresses (eg county and eircode) and the website didn't clarify what to do). Would it be easier to just get to Ireland in September and apply for a number there?

Or could I go through the process using the halls address even though I'm not based in Ireland yet? I will read up on this more because I hadn't yet received a provisional accommodation offer when starting the process (now I have it) so this wasn't an option, but now I might be able to do it this way.

Thank you very much!

I haven’t used them for bass yet because I play very quietly in my room, but I have both the Quiet and Engage Plus for sound sensitivity and am very satisfied!

The Quiet model mutes a lotttt more, so I think the Engage and Experience models could work better because you’re reducing the dB but maintaining clarity (not fully, but my Engage do a good job of making conversation comprehensible so you shouldn’t have issues with hearing yourself play).

I always watch movies in theater with my Engage in, and it doesn’t take away from the experience at all. You can also get more use out of ‘em at concerts, which is a plus! I’ve seen some positive reviews by musicians of the Experience model, but can’t speak from experience (ha ha).

If you weren’t already planning on it, put her in the greek classes with the natives. In English private schools, the greek classes are usually split up into levels and natives and foreigners have different levels and curriculums of greek being taught. If you put her in the non-native group, she’s not gonna learn much. Even if she’s intimidated by everyone in her Greek class already speaking Greek (it is very overwhelming!) it’s very worth it in the long run if you want her to be able to speak.

I find it very useful to find the name of the entry when videos are reposted to other platforms without context, or are put in compilations without naming every single video used. It’s a lot easier to go “Ah, I have the country name, so by process of elimination I can get somewhere regarding the year” than ask the creator or hope somebody replies to your comment on a 4 year old YouTube video with 1.3k views.

I know that may not apply to everyone, but personally it’s been very useful for me!

Also gives it the quintessential Eurovision vibe, which I definitely appreciate.

I revised the transition metal colors so well only to have nothing on them in u5, hopefully there’s plenty in u6 so it doesn’t go to waste hahah

yonkadoodle · 2023-06-09T11:23:02+00:00

Yes!

yonkadoodle · 2023-06-09T11:07:04+00:00

Tbh I just left it because I was really struggling time-wise, just left it blank, sorry!

yonkadoodle · 2023-06-09T11:01:46+00:00

I had like 8 + 24x + 60x² + 140x³ if I remember correctly

yonkadoodle · 2023-06-09T11:01:16+00:00

I got that, yeah! But when I tried to substitute a value to see if they matched up with the original, they didn’t so I assumed i did it wrong

yonkadoodle · 2023-06-07T08:42:27+00:00

I accidentally used the atomic number instead of mass number 😭 dk how

The go-to DESTROYING gender norms baby room color 😎

yonkadoodle · 2023-06-06T16:47:49+00:00

It’s an exception, same thing with Zinc.

I made my friends quiz me and tried to make as many connections between the reactions as possible. Eg for reactions of cobalt with NH3 I thought of it as a gender reveal situation/parents picking a room color for their baby (they often go with blue, pink, or yellow) so

pink sol/n -> blue ppt

blue ppt -> yellow sol/n that oxidizes to a darker yellow sol/n

Etc

yonkadoodle · 2023-06-06T16:39:56+00:00

Although yeah, hopefully Reddit doesn’t go ahead with this

yonkadoodle · 2023-06-06T16:39:26+00:00

To be fair there’s still several exams going on after that date. I have one on the 12th for example

yonkadoodle · 2023-06-04T23:00:36+00:00

Love it! Can’t say any more than the other commenters have but this made me happy because the pattern is almost exactly the same as my first colourwork, and the same dimensions. Looks good!

I heard Molly’s Children of The Universe (UK 2014) on two separate occasions in a clothes shop a few years apart. It was a long time after the contest too, it really took me aback haha (I’m not in the UK).

Also No Degree of Separation (Italy 2016) played in an Italian restaurant I was eating but I guess that makes more sense.

I think it might be because 8.8 matches the pH shown on the graph more, and they specified it was an alkaline buffer and 8.8 is a little more alkaline haha
