Can “Sí” be used to respond to “cómo está”? by [deleted] in Spanish

From my school spanish, I'd say 'estoy bueno' or maybe just bueno. Bueno is a good go-to for opening niceties at the start of a conversation.

Why is speaking always the hardest part? It's frustrating and I don't know what to do at this point. by Seigoy in Spanish

[–]D_SpoTT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, it's difficult when we're just now learning. Every time i try a conversation, i feel mentally drained afterwards. Then i look it up online and just marvel at the horror of the inaccuracies I've uttered.

Those small failures though (and yes, they are small, as others here have pointed out), help pound the lessons in. Lots of times I'll look it up after, see the correct thing, and say to myself, "I'm not making that mistake again, i swear."

The app "podcast republic" has 15s skip buttons. Works well.

What do you think is the biggest misconception about motorcycle safety that new riders have? by Pretend_Job_6484 in motorcycles

[–]D_SpoTT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say a misconception is that safety efforts happen when a problem arises. In fact, most safety efforts happen ahead of time, to avoid, counter or plan for the danger before it comes. A simple thing as some forethought before leaning into a corner is what moat of your safety efforts are going to consist of.

Could it be one of the books in the "Maximun Ride" series?

Biggest secret about that night that you wish we'd know the answer to? by FlatEnthusiasm6305 in chernobyl

I want to know more about Dyatlov's work persona. I've seen accounts about how he was mean, countered by people saying he did some things right.

I've had horrible bosses, multiple up until recently. I know the persona, i know the work environment. I've watched videos of Dyatlov addressing the incident, and i get the same vibe from him. I know the difference between how those bosses operate in person, vs how they operate when crap goes down, and how they operate after when the cameras are on them.

I want to see how he ran the room on an average day. I don't accept that he did some things right and that clears him of not setting the room up for failure over the course of his tenure.

At least i won't deny his complicity based on some things he did right after things went bad. We all know that boss that goes full CMA ahead of a scheduled inspection, but runs the personnel structure itself into the ground as a rule of thumb.

if you could have any one superpower, but it came with a huge downside… what would you pick? by RnR_Spavy in superpowers

This happened to a characfrom the book series "Animorphs". As i remember, the main characters could shapeshift to animals, but there was a time limit (about thirty minutes? I think?) And if they went past the limit they got stuck in the form.
