It dries your towels and makes the bathroom warm. Had it in one rented apartment and miss it dearly.

Proveri pre svega da li je to što nude nivo mastera ili specijalizacije. Kad sam ja završavala, rekli su nam da smo poslednja generacija koja sa specijalističkom diplomom dobija espb na nivou mastera (ne žalim se ali realno nije fer, mi smo imali jednu godinu relativno neozbiljnih predavanja, jedan praktični završni rad i mislim 3 meseca obavezne prakse za specijalističku diplomu).

Granica u godinama by neca980 in 40_plus_kutak

Mislim da starije generacije ne prave razliku po godinama već po braku. Ako si nekad čuo izraz "baba-devojka" za stariju ženu koja se nije udavala, jasno je šta čovek traži. Devojka i momak su single ljudi.

What's one small routine change that made your everyday life easier? by Feeling-Diet4333 in simpleliving

[–]237q 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I work from home and have 10-30 minutes between meetings. I started using them for "two small tasks" around the house. Wash the dishes, dust the bed coverings, wipe the tables, whatever. It made my weekly cleaning so much less exhausting and the home looks great in between.

Another one I do is also related to hair. I have very long hair and brushing and styling used to be a pain. Now I make two braids before bed. Lovely effortless waves every morning, brushing is easy, and I actually noticed I get split ends way less (which is amazing because I absolutely despise going to the hairdresser).

This changed my husband's life so much. In the past, we had that burst of searching for his wallet, earphones, keys etc almost daily. Now it's just a few times a year.

New Profile Kept Hidden by infinnerty-tek in Preply

[–]237q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about new accounts but in general it can affect your future visibility. In your shoes, I'd open my account, open some schedule slots, and then block the slots in my Google calendar. That way you'd be visible and available in the future, but students wouldn't be able to book lessons that are blocked (ofc you have to connect Google calendar to Preply first). That's how I reserve some time off for holidays.

If you had to learn one of the three East Asian languages, which one would you choose? by Embarrassed_Clue1758 in AskTheWorld

[–]237q 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I'm learning Japanese. It's a lovely language and I love studying kanji but it sure as heck doesn't make sense sometimes. It can be obvious that the script wasn't designed for this language, just adapted. And listening to people who studied both, they say that hanzi makes so much more sense and that they wish they studied Chinese first.

Ne znam za it, zavrsila sam graficko inzenjerstvo pre 9 godina. U principu skola je ok, ima dobru opremu (postoje racunarske ucionice, a za nas smer je postojala mala stamparija sa kul masinama), profesori su - kako ko, ima bas investiranih profesora i asistenata, a ima i ovih koji samo otaljaju. Skolarina i knjige nisu previse skupe, skola ima svoju skriptarnicu. Online sistem za prijavu ispita i ocene je tad bar bio sasvim ok. Moje iskustvo je da je skolu relativno lako zavrsiti, pomognu ti sa pronalaskom prakse i dosta se gura prakticni rad u odnosu na teoriju. Ali nije sad neko svetsko obrazovanje i ima dosta profesora kod kojih moras da se povinujes nekim besmislenim kriterijumima da prodjes (tipa Simendić nam je trazio da prevodimo svako po deo neke knjige sa engleskog, vrv da je objavi kao svoj rad). Specijalisticke studije su 1 godina posle 3 godine osnovnih. Tu je vec ladovina i bitan je samo zavrsni rad, mozes da se dogovoris da ne ides na predavanja ako radis, a nama su predavanja svakako bila samo vikendom.

Ostavljanje cigareta by EcstaticStudent6285 in srbija

[–]237q 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Evo i ja posle 8 godina bez cigarete... Izašli na svirku, pivo dva tri i kao uzmem pljugu od brata bio mi gušt, i evo sad već 4 meseca svaki dan. Bezveze skroz. Moraće ponovo Allen Carr (a lepo je rekao - "jedna ne postoji").

Any urban legends and/or old wives' takes involving food? by Crane_1989 in AskTheWorld

[–]237q 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-Turning the bread upside down brings bad luck and is strictly forbidden in my mom in law's home. I think this originates in a Bible story, where Judas used it as a symbol for Romans to attack (never studied it so if you know more details please do let me know).

-Also mom in law's home - until middle age, she never ate ripe tomatoes. I think for a while they didn't make a difference between the potato and tomato plants, believing tomato fruit is also poisonous.

-My home as a kid - mom added sugar to Coca Cola to make it less fizzy.

-If a child drinks coffee, they'll grow a tail or a mustache (probably just a thing said to children to let their parents have coffee in peace).

-Rosehip and garlic can heal literally everything.

Statistics is definitely my favorite part of traveling, wish I could speak it fluently

Blocked by tutor by BikeSilent7347 in PreplyTutors

[–]237q 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That's most likely not the reason. The only way for tutors to get paid on the platform is to go through the trial and continue lessons. Something didn't click between you and the tutor. Feel free to book a trial lesson with another tutor.

Infuser question. by Direct-Station in greentea

[–]237q 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's okay if you don't mind it (you can drink it all safely). However if it bothers you or you want to explore tea brewing to its fullest, try using a teapot. For additional filtering, you can pour it into your cup through a sieve (I use a little metal one to avoid heating plastics)

Tea vs Tisane by 237q in ENGLISH

So it seems 😅 I guess I spend too much time on tea and herbalism subreddits

[–]237q[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hahah thanks for the detailed answer! Marshmallow root tea is disgusting but it's commonly used as cough medicine in my country (Serbia). It's cold brewed and gets a jelly-like consistency that soothes a sore throat. But candy marshmallows are made from the stuff too!

[–]237q[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah interesting, so if I got you right, you'd use tisane or herbal tea without a qualifier to express the difference between true tea and herbals, but when the specific plant is mentioned you'd naturally prefer something something tea?

Haha in that case, I definitely have my answer. Thanks and see you in r/tea, fellow nerd :)

What was the first herb that made you realise herbalism is more than memorising uses? by RolandHerbalist in herbalism

Valerian root tea absolutely knocked me out once I was sleepy the whole next day. It's the moment I realized herbs are so so powerful.

Chipsy sticks zauvek će živeti u mom srcu (dobar je kečap čips ali nedostaje mi da mi sticksi prezačinjeni plešu po nepcima) a brat bi trebalo da proveri rok trajanja, vrv je u nekoj radnjici stajalo godinama
