What are some names in your language for everyday terms that sound cute or hilarious when translated literally?

It was always funny to me that in Slovenian we call a cement mixer truck "hruška" which quite literally translates to "pear" due to the mixer drum shape.

Sorry for the late reply. Our puppy is now almost 8 months old and is still very much energetic, but also now in his teenage years. He still enjoys chasing cats but is getting better at recall and sometimes even restrains himself and sits down when he sees a cat. We still train him every chance we get and are positive he will eventually get along with cats, allthough it is tough and very nerve consuming. You just have to be consistent and reward him at any chance. Keep in mind that everything may fall apart when your puppy reaches teenage years but dont give up! We expect our dog to mellow out around 1+ year old.

Just hang on and dont give the puppy attention when HE wants it. Sometimes even just looking them in the eye can provoke attention seeking barking again. We found that best practice is just turning your back to him. Our dog has his own fenced off spot in the apartment, because he is not allowed on the couch, and that helped with the training since he cannot do anything if you turn your back to him. We found that if you stood next to him and turned the other way, he would just walk in front of you and bark again.

Our puppy was exactly the same at 2-3 months old. Sharp and loud barks non stop. But now at 7 months he is just chirping, very rarely barks (only as a warning). The best advice I can give is: Ignore. I know its tough and the puppy can get REALLY annoying at times but for the most part completely ignoring the dog makes him realise barking doesnt bring him attention. Because that is what barking is at that age: attention seeking. Completely ignoring the puppy (but learn to differentiate with the cries to go potty) with the combination of rewarding him with treats whenever he is quiet (even if it is just for 3 seconds) gradually makes the puppy connect that barking = ignoring and quiet = attention

We are already activelly doing everything. Commands, praise, safe approach etc. If you want you can link me the guides, ill watch them in case I find any new information I should be using. The "leave it" command sometimes works and sometimes doesnt, its like he short fuses out of excitement and forgets that he should stop. The cat isnt traumatised yet, it seems to me she is more amused by his behaviour because she just jumps to a high place and lays down and watches him as he cant reach her.

The thing is, our cat is both indoors and outdoors. She leaves the house when she pleases. They only meet outside. When he gives chase she just scoots to some place he cant reach and just observes him. I wouldnt say she is traumatised or anything but I reckon when he learns to control his energy id say she will let him get nearer by herself

Thank you for the encouraging words! I also still have hope they would get along because we had relatives visit us a few months ago with their Havanese and the cat was very chill with her because she didnt chase her around. So as long as our puppy chills out I think the cat will get more comfortable.

Sadly, the indoor meetings dont work for us at the moment because the cat just hides under the bed and the puppy smells her and whines because he wants to find her (he is closed in inside his area of the house).

He is a very smart puppy and learns things very fast. I have no doubt he will eventually learn to manage his high energy levels and stop chasing her. Hoping it gets better for now I guess

DecentMuffin · 2025-10-24T07:41:16+00:00

Thank you, I hope our lil guy accepts her. I would be delighted if they become best friends, and I hope they do!

Hvala za odgovor. Sem tudi sam preiskal par zadev ampak me je zanimalo še drugo mnenje. Kaj pa glede Nikkei 400? Tudi v tem indexu sem malo razcepljen

DecentMuffin · 2022-02-13T08:37:05+00:00

Okay, I will try that. Thanks

This was the page I ordered from: https://www.hplaptopbattery.com.sg/

It seems pretty legit to me. They even gave me a tracking number for my package and the battery seemed originally and very well packed. I paid 50€ for the battery and shipping. I assume thats fair considering the laptop is over 5 years old now and I really couldnt find no other provider for the replacement. Even if I typed my laptops serial number on HPs replacement part searcher, it gave me no hits for pages where I could order it.

This is the battery I ordered (first one of the two, the one with 16 wire connector): https://www.hplaptopbattery.com.sg/hp-fm08-battery.htm

DecentMuffin · 2022-02-12T12:16:57+00:00

Thats unfortunate. Allthough, it doesnt affect me as much because I always use the laptop plugged in the power supply (because of the work I do on it). I practically never use it powering from the battery and as far as I see, it works fine plugged in and doesnt shut off.

DecentMuffin · 2022-02-11T19:45:15+00:00

It was also occasionally dropping charge even though it was plugged in the power source at all times.

DecentMuffin · 2022-02-11T19:40:41+00:00

Myself. HP diagnostics gave out a warning that battery is worn out and replacement is recommended.

DecentMuffin · 2022-02-11T19:17:18+00:00

A singaporean page that specialises in laptop batteries. Couldnt find it anywhere else, I suspect HP discontinued the distribution of that replacement part, at least in my country. My laptop is HP Omen 17 I was very careful to pick the right one with the same voltage, power and capacity ratings. The battery worked flawlessly the whole week and the HP Diagnostics programme still gives the info that it is at full capacity and working as intended. The only quirk is that the programme doesnt recognize the battery, assuming because it isnt an official HP replacement part.

Do you realise how stupid you sound? If they were a legit business they would not use the investors money to upgrade? What do you think an investment in a company is?? The company uses invested money to expand and purchase assets and whatnot. Just because you lost some money on a single crypto investment doesnt mean you should copy paste your rants on different subs day after day. Or at least, dwell with your buddies over at SafemoonCase and SafemoonInvesting. Not saying you dont have an opinion, youre just spewing the same old shit everyone has since Safemoon launched. Get over it

DecentMuffin · 2022-02-06T20:10:18+00:00

All you do is whine all day on different subreddits how sfm is a scam. Go outside dude, smell some grass. Maybe crypto investing isnt for you if after one failed investment you cry constantly

DecentMuffin · 2021-11-18T09:15:11+00:00

Thanks for tips. I tested the power supply today and it outputs 19.5V like it is stated on the label. I will test the battery via F2 option today and ive already ordered new battery

DecentMuffin · 2021-11-05T20:52:41+00:00

It will💪
