    Half Life 2 RTX

    Recently bought a Steam Deck and picked this up in the sale. Plays really well on it to be fair - a lot of game for £2.99!

    Weight loss

    I have always been around 80kg, but my eating habits and excessive alcoholic beverages have put me at 105kg. Not drinking unless it's the weekend, and even then trying to tone that down a bit. However, doing this before, eating normal (3 decent meals a day, no snacks, etc) and being sensible...

    What is a good salary in UK at present?

    I'd say £40k is a decent salary these days. Not great, not terrible. I used to think that was a good chunk of change - but now I am around that salary, in real world terms after tax, doesn't leave as much as I thought.

    MongoDB client details to JSON file

    Hi all, I am doing a bit of work experience and I am trying to figure out C# as quickly as possible (which fortunately isn't extremely different from Java). One of the tasks they are having me code for is to extract details of a client (which is on an API, whose details are stored on MongoDB)...

    Taking the ****! Or not!

    I have no issues unless the following occur: 1. Bloke next to me is grunting. Normally an older gentleman, me being 30 odd, dont know if this is something I will encounter when I get to that age? Either way, puts me right off... 2. 10 urinals, I'm using the first one, with 9 urinals being...

    Nvidia Shield - Ethernet port bracket snapped

    Blutack?? That's actually pretty genius... Just whack some on the top of the ethernet port and jam the cable in? Just had another look at the shield - yea, it's pretty nackered. My soldering skills are awful, so I may go down the superglue route also. Apparently, it wasn't the wife, it was...

    Nvidia Shield - Ethernet port bracket snapped

    I know this is random, but it has been doing my breasts right in, hopefully someone can help! My wife packed the shield away, rather than pressing down on the ethernet cable to remove it, she just yanked it off. So now the cable has nothing to latch onto when inserted. This means the cable will...

    New Homes - Taylor Wimpey (Sherford, Plymouth)

    I think I am talking myself out of this... However, if anyone has any experience with the below it would be much appreciated. Me and the wife are looking at a new build house (wife likes the 3 bathrooms, ready to move in, will be how we want it, etc) and on the Sherford estate, they have Bovis...

    Uni Students - What percentage does an end of year test account for?

    To be honest, I am happy with studying towards the BSc - especially because of I didn't really have much of a choice to not choose the OU due to having no A-Levels. I am still confident I will do well, just need to do better next year.

    Uni Students - What percentage does an end of year test account for?

    Sorry, you are correct, it doesn't work like that. More specifically... 3 x coursework (normally weighted at 33.3% each) = e.g final overall score of 85% (distinction) 1 x Exam = I can achieve 85% and get a distinction, but whatever grading I achieve on this test will be the total grade for...

    Uni Students - What percentage does an end of year test account for?

    I didn't realise the weighting was quite that high... I guess is to try and combat people paying other people to do their coursework for them? The weightings for all of my modules are 50/50. Apart from one which is 60/40. I thought the OU was high, but seems like I am actually probably better...

    Uni Students - What percentage does an end of year test account for?

    Sounds like you have gone through the rounds then - impressive! I think on my end, time is my enemy. Working full-time and studying full-time isn't really working out, I will be leaving my job around November time to give me chance to pull this back for the third year. Does anyone have any...

    Uni Students - What percentage does an end of year test account for?

    Was that for a Bachelors or a Masters? The Law degree sounds tough!

    Uni Students - What percentage does an end of year test account for?

    In regards to the final score of that module. The OU for example - I had a 90% average on my TMAs, this counts towards 50% of my final module score. I had my exam yesterday, which was my first exam in 12 years, and I am pretty sure I got under 70%. It went very bad! If my predictions on my...

    Learning to Scuba dive

    If you do dive on your own, make sure you go with someone a few times in who is experienced in the area you would like to explore. They can advise where the danger points are in that location.
