Personally, it seems a bit too picky, so I'm glad we don't have it here in the US. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, it seems a bit too picky, so I'm glad we don't have it here in the US. My instructor actually told me "Click it a few times, to make sure" Which doesn't make me feel very confident! Sometimes I get 5/5, then I retake the same clip for practice and get 2/5 because my first click was a second and a half earlier...and if you click too many times, it automatically fails you. I have really been studying hard on the questions and rules though since last year, so hoping I pass! Though I failed my mock practical test, for reverse parking on the pavement and giving a wrong signal ...so will probably take some time, but it's better than me ending up like in Ceka's pictures, lol. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are studying hard and when it comes test time, Just overcome whatever tries to get in your way and say, I'm not leaving here without passing this.. You'll do it, you sound like you are really prepared.. If I get nervous or anything. I just get out of my own head and remind myself why I'm here and tell myself, we're doing this. you just need to get yourself right back into that place you want to be when you feel something trying to take you out of it.. Getting nervous is what usually tries to take me out of something almost every time.. hehehe Edited February 9, 2023 by Ceka Cianci 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a typo, but I sat and thought about it on a bigger scale.. How much of my SL is based on impulse rather than ideas I come up with? Like weekly events for instance.. When i shop, am I going shopping because I realized I need something or is it because of impulse because i went to a sale and said, I could use that some day or now? How much of my SL is influenced by other things than myself and my ideas? OMG I'm in the freaking matrix and didn't realize it until a typo open mah eyes!! \o/ hehehehe This is some really good tea.

It's galling - and a pet peeve so fits in right here - to see the kind of idiotic antics supposedly qualified drivers get up to. They really think when approaching the crossings with lights that an amber light that is just about to turn red means they are supposed to speed up, when back in my day (grandma!) and surely still applies now, the amber light means you are supposed to slow down and prepare to stop. Whether there happen to be pedestrians there or not! Another pet peeve is people who take the wrong position on roundabouts, people who don't signal when turning. As a pedestrian and a driver it is equally frustrating/annoying. The hazard perception tests and tweaks to the Highway Code are meant to prevent some of these bad habits from developing but ... /me climbs off this soap box and probably straight onto another. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Peeve: Had to add a third type of "Pointer" today for my big scripting project: 1) Pointers to "instances" - like classes / objects, they get their own data space for each instance. Pointer includes GUID identifying the specific instance, with data providing address to the related code. 2) Pointers to "libraries / non-class code" - unlike classes, there's just one..they have their own data, but just one copy/instance. Pointer is just data providing address of the related code and (optionally) data. 3) Pointers to "not-yet-loaded" code; unlike 1) or 2), we don't know the address of the code because it hasn't been loaded yet. We only know the Scope and Schema for its Code and Data. But once its loaded, the Scope and Schema are all we need to find the addresses. Didn't think I'd need this, but am only now getting to the "not-yet-loaded" use-case. Hope that's it..plus of course "Local Instance" data pointers, which are just a variation on #1 with a limited lifespan. (Local instance data is deleted when a subroutine returns.)
