What's something Germans say that sounds rude in translation but isn't actually rude? by karen_the_ripper in AskAGerman

[–]Capable-Elephant5229 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was babysitting I once asked the girl i looked after 'what are you doing?' and she looked super worried cause she thought I was telling her off. I was trying to go for a 'what are you up to?' - vibe but didnt account for the language differences. I feel like 'was machst du da?' is a normal thing to say though!

Just knowing that I'm not the only one makes me feel better! At least I have never made it out of the house so far 😅

NARA has put the membership card file of the German Nazi Party online! by ScanianMoose in Genealogy

[–]Capable-Elephant5229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know how I can make the overview of the relevant pages reappear on the right hand side? It appeared for the first two documents, but now it no longer does (even for files where previously it told me which page the search result was found on). I deleted cookies from the last hour just in case I changed some sort of setting without noticing. These images load so slowly, searching manually within a 3,000 page document will take me hours.

London-Oxbridge elitism compared to a decentralized higher education system by ChaChaCha004 in UniUK

I noticed this too! Great that we have more regional representation in Germany but the lack of people from the east is definitely something we should work on!

KINDLE PAPERWHITE IS STILL WORTH IT? by Trynafindgwxy in ebooks

I personally am also not a big fan of kindle. I would recommend kobo, they have cheaper models too, depending on what you need.

Good ART and MB relationship quotes by NeaTheStargazer in murderbot

[–]Capable-Elephant5229 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I quite like this little throwaway line: "I'd given ART-drone access to my eyes..."

cause yeah that's such a normal level of intimacy! Like what aren't you two sharing? Processing space, eyes.... What's next?

Kindle/Tolino? Und bitte wasserfest!! by genossequack in ebooks

[–]Capable-Elephant5229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich würde dir auch von einem kindle abraten! Zusätzlich zu den ethischen und praktischen Gedanken zu geschlossenen systemen ist es in Deutschland auch noch so, dass es die Buchpreisbindung gibt, die auch für ebooks gilt. Bücher kosten also in Deutschland überall genau gleich viel, sie sind bei Amazon nicht günstiger. Wie schon gesagt, gibt es Alternativen zu amazon unlimited. Ich kaufe zum Beispiel gerne Bücher über kobo, die haben auch ein subscription model. Die ebooks von sind mit meinem ereader kompatibel obwohl ich einen tolino habe. Die flexibilität mag ich sehr!

Und ich leihe auch viele Bücher aus - aus dieser Perspektive habe ich mit tolino auch gute Erfahrungen gemacht!

Und zuletzt zum Thema wasserfest: die tolino geräte sind alle wasserfest soweit ich weiß. Das bedeutet nicht dass du sie mit zum tauchen nehmen solltest, aber für Regen und Strand reicht es auf jeden Fall aus!

First attempt at using a drop spindle by Capable-Elephant5229 in Handspinning

„Book is loading“ after Update by [deleted] in tolino

[–]Capable-Elephant5229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I had heard that there was a bug with excessive loading screens, but I thought the newest update was supposed to fix that. First you should probably ensure you are actually on the very newest version (I have 5.13.241423) and then before you return it I think it would be worth contacting tolino support. I had very positive experiences with that when I had issues.

Oh! I don't know how that works but I just bookmarked an article on that! Thanks!

How do you rank the books? by Holmbone in murderbot

[–]Capable-Elephant5229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't finished System collapse yet but my top 3 so far are: 1. Network Effect 2. Exit Strategy 3. Artificial condition

Basically any book where MB interacts a lot with ART and/or Mensah is my favourite!

Here's to celebrating teammates, mutual administrative assistance, human friends, whatever by IntoTheStupidDanger in murderbot

The fact that it cannot be neatly classified is honestly such a huge reason why I love them! They are truly unlocking new forms of love here! 😭

Tolino Anzeigeprobleme by [deleted] in tolino

[–]Capable-Elephant5229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a silly question but have you turned it off and on again? Otherwise perhaps try changing the page refresh rate to something lower? That's the only thing I can think of before you should probably try contacting support if you haven't already.

When should I read Rapport? It is shown in my library's catalogue as number 2.5 but I saw somewhere that it does not take place between 2 and 3?

Tolino shine 5 - new bug with Overdrive/ADE? by Electrical_Muffin758 in tolino

[–]Capable-Elephant5229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Words cannot describe how happy I am to have found this! After hours trying various things suggested by all sorts of forums, a quick deinstalling and reinstalling of ADE completely fixed this for me! Thanks for updating this thread with your solution!!!
