  • Lol, no worries. :D

    I don't know the regular post limit. It's been increased and decreased a few times, so I don't actually know what it stands at now. About 60k, I think.

    Thanks. You too! :D
    Ahh, RE and English Lit were also my worst subjects.
    I've never heard it being referred to as post-16 (We go to 6th-Form around here). :p

    It depends on how serious the interview is. My A-Level College is very laid back, and so I wore a somewhat formal shirt with jeans. Everybody did the same, so no biggie. If it's something more serious (like a formal college, or possibly a job), then wear a suit. Suits are sexy anyway. ;)

    Hmm, I should start a petition to have the VM character limit increased. Not that it'd make any difference anyway. 1000 is usually more than enough. :)
    And yeah, I've heard about the university tuition fees. For a standard 4 year course, most people will leave university with about £52,000 of debt (£9000 for each year, and about £4000 living expenses per year). It's all the more annoying that the government doesn't seem to realize that people don't just get degrees for themselves - it actually benefits society too. We need doctors, dentists, teachers, and well-educated people in general to keep society running. The government should be granting subsidies to those wishing to study at university, rather than increasing tuition fees. It's pretty much the governments job to do the best for society. They're doing all they can to try to discourage the consumption of things that are bad for society (such as tobacco and alcohol) by placing heavy taxes on it, though they seem unable to look at the other extreme and promote things that are good for society. Stupid Liberal Conservatives - It's all about the money. :mad:
    Ouch about English. Just read books and practice essays and stuff, I guess. I've never really studied for English, so it's difficult for me to give you tips about it.

    What exactly is the Post-16? Is it just another name for A-Levels, or is it something else? :p Good luck with that interview though. :)

    (Message was too long for a single VM :p)
    That thread probably wouldn't have done so badly if it wasn't for all the previous threads about medical/family help that people had posted in the past. :p
    Grade D in English? Ouch. :(
    I had an A* in Language and (my only) B in Literature. I should've read the books. :p Ohh, how many GCSEs are you doing?

    I'm also quite interested in programming. I rarely seem to find the time to get some done (C# though). If all goes well, I'll end up studying Computer Science at University. You don't actually need an A-Level in computing to do that though, so I picked something I was interested in instead - Economics (I was already doing Physics and Double Maths as a requirement for Computer Science).
    I'd recommend Physics, in that case for you. :p
    LOL, no worries. :p
    You could take that to the doctors or something, just for a check up if you're really worried. It'll probably just 'fix' itself within a few days or weeks though.

    My tower is making progress... Slowly. I'm not working on it much 'cause I want to revise for exams coming up too. Hopefully I'll make it. :(
    And I'm studying my A-levels now. Double Maths, Physics and Economics. Finally, I'm able to drop English, History and all that boring stuff. A-Levels are hard though. Very hard. But I'll cope. :)

    How're the GCSEs going? Any plans for what you're doing to do after? :)
    Yes I did. Wc3 was rpg-ish. No fatalities what so ever.... here... I will send you a few of my recent games when u have the game so you can see some pro level action. Fucking amazing.
    SCII melee is out of this world... it varies on different levels though- when I was in bronze I cloudn't pull of 1/1000 of the things I can do know... It is fucking amazing ^^
    Pretty well. I desided to brush up on my SCII and play it a bit more seriously. It will be a long journey though- In the beggining of SCII I played a ton. I got really high points, but I haven't played ladder 1v1 for 2-3 months. Now I have like... 800 points of catching up to do. U win ~10-20 per game. U lose 5-10 per game (note: If I have won more, for example 20 points and I loose I will loose more. I win less I loose less)

    So as you can see I have a ton of catching up to do.


    Good news are that u will be on the euro servers so we can play together 2v2 atleast :p
    well tell me when you have the game, I will tell you my B.net email and we can start training.
    Most of the mappers are people who can't make a footman jump, let alone make a map or finish it without having 30958304 fatal errors while loading the map :p


    ANyway, we will play some 1v1, I need to practise my protoss skills, if I am protoss, YOU will most likely kill ME : ))
    I won, alright... give me zerg and watch the other one die :D

    Well, the melee is awesome, you have to atleast reach an average level on it because these are the basic game meechanics, without them mapping is shitty (I was good with the wc3 editor cuz I was a melee pro.)

    The match was awesome because I got fucked up by blizzard a coupple of times in the first 10 minutes :D I wanted to rush him, I had to destroy a total of 6K health when an average unit has a dps of 5..... ironic isn't it ? :D
    it is true. Yesterday this is what I did:
    First I played a deathmach against a person via b.net. 2. IT was zerg vs zerg. I have the replay. It was awesome (I think :D:D:D)

    After that it took me 2 hours to change the way that a unit shoots. Guess what. I didn't change it :D:D:

    but the data editor is awesome. You can make uber spells with it that would normally require a lot of triggers and systems. I have a video in skype (a program) but I am at work atm and I can't axes it I will send it to you when i can.

    Btw, do you plan on trying the melee ?

  • No one is chatting at the moment.

    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
