How alive is the game rn? Is the melee system playable?

I used to be a Phantom Forces melee main player and looking for something that will scratch the same itch of charging at people with melee weapons. I quit PF because the movement tech all got nerfed to oblivion and the dev dramas. I heard that this game is pretty close to PF but the melee system is unplayable from old posts, is this still true?

Can we take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the original Audi TT

The surfacing is just perfect, it was neither unrefined nor excessive. And that ass, it looked so nice and smooth before they slapped a spoiler on to it 🤤

【 Onion Rock Club (葱音摇滚社) 】「world sad」🢒「Four-digit summer (四进制夏日)」

I can't really find much information on the artist, I think they are on Bilibili but the search function of the website is pretty unreliable at times. But this is really good, and probably the first time I've seen SynthV Teto being used for a mathy song

As a beginner, I am not sure where to start, looking for book recommendations

I started learning guitar not so long ago and I currently feel quite lost. I have some very scattered knowledge on the basics of theory from learning other instruments long ago in the past. I enjoy various genres of music, including jazz, I often listen to Tsuyoshi Yamamoto and Pat Martino, and I would like to learn to play and maybe eventually be able to compose pieces myself.

I know the best way to learn is to find a mentor, but I am in a situation where that path would be very inconvenient.

I tried to watch the justinguitar course but it is too slow paced for me and doesn't seems to dive into music theory much. I believe that I would benefit from a well structured textbook that would help me learn the theory and fretboard navigation needed, does anyone have a recommendation for such book(s)?

A speedform thing

I was inspired by the shape of a violin at first, but didn't really bother to look for reference images or anything, so it probably looks nothing like one at this point

Does anyone know of a way to achieve opalescence/tyndall scattering in resin without dispersing nanoparticles with a lab homogenizer?

Unfortunately, a homogenizer is quite out of my budget.

Whitebox Lamborghini Acosta

I got it for quite cheap at just under 10 usd. I think that the casting itself is great but the paint sucks. Maybe I just got unlucky because the paint on my Lamborghini Athon Bertone casting from the same brand is flawless. The paint on this casting is bumpy and uneven in places, and a small paint chip at the edge of the rear engine cover that enlarged when I brushed my finger over it. If anyone know how to repair paint chips like that, please tell me.

On the more positive side, the interior is very detailed for its size, it came with a fancy display box included, and it's a one of its kind type of casting since obscure concept cars are generally not made into diecasts.

[Calculus 2] Need help with doing the most ruthless series problem I've ever encountered

I am studying for my calculus 2 finals following a recorded lecture and the first problem got me stuck for the past 4 hours. While it says that no justification is required, it is pretty much impossible solve this without either fully justifying it with logic or seeing that exact statements before and memorizing the answers, the latter being very unlikely unless the actual exam pulled stuff straight from my textbook.

I never made it to statement c but I know that it is an obvious telescoping series, it's mainly statement b that got me stuck, I have no work to show as I don't know where to start in the first place. I just want to be able to understand them and preferably a way to solve all similar problems asking for true or false so that I could at least go to bed without having nightmares about infinite series again.

I just failed the easiest class ever...

You probably guessed it correctly, it's LIB 1600. I originally registered the exam for yesterday, unfortunately, Canvas got bricked by those dickhead hackers just in time when I got to the testing center.

When I woke up today, I completely forgot that I needed to immediately check my email after finding out the Canvas is up again, I decided that it was a good idea to waste away my time studying calculus. I literally set a reminder on my phone the day before but it just went completely over my head. When I remembered about the exam at around 4 pm, I immediately checked my email, but it was already too late.

Fuck my stupid chungus life

Canvas just got hacked

Right before one of my finals which uses canvas... Apparantly this is not the first time they got hacked this year from what I heard, but it's quite annoying since it is literally right before finals week or finals week for some of yall, what a bunch of assholes

I've been stuck here for the past hour and I can't get past it because there's zero good resources I could find that would explain this concept well. I know what a force couple is and all the basic stuff taught, just not how to apply everything to solve this specific question. I don't even know how to start in the first place.

I'm confused about the concept, searching it up doesn't give me any videos or websites explaining this concept step by step, only practice problems that seems to be explained with the assumption that the student is already familiar. The textbook I have access to which is written by my professor is unfinished so this section is not available. I can't derive a rule myself because I don't have time for that.

I can prove that it is the same at a point collinear and parallel with the line formed by the points pushed by the pair of forces, but I do not understand why it would be the same at any arbitrary points. I can't find anyone attempting to prove this online and I am not sure how to go about proving it myself. Does anyone have an already available proof?
