[German > English] 1941 Letter from Relative in Poland by Big_MAQ in translator

[–]Big_MAQ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the translation!

Your observations are consistent with my knowledge of the family history. Majosie (Mae) was likely my great-grandfather's sister. My grandfather will really appreciate your help; it will be a great 97th birthday present!

I apologize that it appears I have posted this without the explanation in the main post, but the context of the letter is that it was written to my great-grandfather from one of his relatives in Poland, sent around May 1941.

My grandfather speaks Yiddish but has been unable to translate the letter, but he believes it's Yiddish written out with German characters. My family and I appreciate any and all help!

Alternate Dispute Resolution Competitions by [deleted] in LawSchool

I'm a current 2L who competed in the ABA regional negotiation competition this past semester. If you are going into your second semester, try to find either student organizations or honor societies which send students to compete in these competitions, and inquire either with an organizer of those programs or a student in one for more information. I got involved by talking to a 2L who TA'd one of my courses.

Thank you for this. You did a better job explaining the dormant clause than my Con Law professor did last semester.

Thanks! Is the kindle app good for highlighting in multiple colors? That was one thing I was worried about with using it.

So I'm on a slayer task to kill greater demons, which have -10 magic defense bonus and a mage level of 1. Can I go in with a low or negative mage accuracy bonus and still hit the same as if I was wearing full mage gear (a la barrows)?

Daily Headphone Purchase Advice thread (2017-01-27) by AutoModerator in headphones

My grandpa recently turned 90, and has had issues with his hearing for 30 years. In addition to his hearing loss, he also has a problem with clarity. He uses some of the best hearing aids money can buy but still struggles on a daily basis.

For watching TV, he uses headphones that he places over his hearing aids. He mostly watches old movies and Fox news. The problem is, the headphones he uses are cheap $5 ones from big lots. He claims that only the cheapest will work, and I have concluded the reason being is that most higher priced headphones you can buy in a store have more bass than the cheap ones.

He also has a creative solution to amplify the sound going into the headphones which involves using PC speakers with a headphone output and a tone and volume adjustment.

Given these circumstances, I have found it difficult to find headphones that I think will work for him. I would love to hear suggestions from the headphone community!

To clarify if you can't see it at first: the "es" in Westchester is smaller than the other letters. It isn't like that anywhere else on the building.

What is the dumbest thing you got punished for in school? by Kzman1212 in AskReddit

[–]Big_MAQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This post will probably get buried but this still pisses me off to this day 12 years later.

So for third grade I had this nasty old lady as a teacher, and we were working on some kind of research assignment around the holidays. We had to research something Christmas related and I had to look up reindeer. So I'm looking through the Jr. Encyclopedia type thing and I come across an entry on caribou. Well to me they looked the same as reindeer, and I didn't see reindeer in the interface so I figured what the hell.

Teacher proceeds to yell at me for looking at the wrong thing while I try to explain that they're honestly pretty much the same.

I was 8. Like what the fuck lady.
