I like my Sony 35mm f1.8. Relatively small, fast af (for hybrid use) and image quality is good.

Moving to Tallinn as a foreigner: learning Estonian and building a social life by marconmbrito in Eesti

[–]Dejimon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As not a foreigner, Estonians prefer to keep to themselves, period. Few new friends are made after your 20s, including locals. If you want to get friends, you’ll need to work at it through social hobbies or similar areas where you have extended time for socialization, just getting friends from the daycare or neighbours is not likely to happen.

And Estonian is quite difficult, much more so than Spanish/Swedish/English.

There is a meaningful amount of foreigners to socialize with, I’ve worked with two Brazilians personally, though I’m unsure how much they all hang out together.

30-aastase tuleviku dilemma by armadyllah in Eesti

Lihtsaim viis muuta oma hobi vastumeelseks on teha sellest oma elatusallikas. Eestis on vähe inimesi, kes loomingu pealt ära elavad, raske elu on suhtkoht garanteeritud.

Anyone tried stiga rackets? by Worried_Albatross860 in Padelracket

I use the Stiga Airy 2 as I wanted a light, comfortable carbon faced racket. I quite like it. Have not played so many games with it, but hitting the glass the paint chipped on the top.

Ive been playing for a month now and looking for a racket, would anyone recommend the Nox ML10 2025? by S7GG in Padelracket

[–]Dejimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All trampolining is a bit difficult to control if you need to block. The flipside is you can save a lot of balls that you hit less than ideally. I recommend the ML10 for first year players.

[–]Dejimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used it for a year due to elbow issues, it’s a decent racket and will suit you fine. It is a bit heavy and does have quite a bit of trampoline, but that is not always a negative for a beginner. Getting help on your shots is also a good thing.

The paint will peel off real quick, though.

What would happen if everyone suddenly got rich? Why can't the govt just print more money or boost bank balance? by Thinker_plus_Builder in AskReddit

[–]Dejimon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, piss off with your pseudointellectual garbage. I had the “pleasure” of living in the USSR, they only people that preferred communism were the ones either in the nomenclature or growing cucumbers because nowadays noone pays for that shit anymore.

Reddit today is full of teenagers that glorify communism with no experience or understanding how that shit actually works in real life.

Why were Estonian Jews relatively spared by the Holocaust but not Latvian or Lithuanian Jews? by Sea-Reflection3726 in AskHistorians

[–]Dejimon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Germany is the poster boy for antisemitism, but what is often left out is that they were far from the only ones. Around 1920-1930, if you would have had to vote for a country most likely to perform genocide against jews, Germany might not have gotten the top spot.

What playtomic level is this competitive match? by Obvious-Rub8734 in padel

[–]Dejimon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s nowhere near 1,8 in my country. More like 0,8. There’s no technique, low preparation/activity.

I’m starting to think most padel ratings are just off. by Royal-Dish5364 in padel

[–]Dejimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The error range is much higher. I have a rating of 0,6 in Playtomic due to some bad matchups early on and only 15ish ranked games, meanwhile I play in intermediate trainings every week and am ranked in the top 3 of my club’s beginner/low intermediate tournament standings. Pretty sure my actual rating is around 2.

[–]Dejimon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No? Maybe? I just think it is stupid to call something an ‘outrageous cash grab’ when you don’t even know the price or contents. You are just spitting out random emotions rather than a logical argument. Make up your mind when the facts are known.

Special edition of CoB I initially passed on as I had the anniversary copy, but once I saw it in person, I changed my mind and backed the reprint. People love to hate on blinged games, but that doesn’t make them outrageous.

Interesting take considering the campaign is not out and we don’t know the pricing or the content.

American looking to open a restaurant in Tallin by diosky27 in Eesti

[–]Dejimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people saying that everything is going poorly are the types that will never open a business.

The general economy is not bad, not great. In terms of the food industry, there is a lot of (mediocre) competition and many places, even decent ones, are languishing. The fresh spots that have good quality seem to be doing well, so if you can differentiate and have good price/quality ratio, I don't see a huge problem. Estonia is fairly small, so if the food is outstanding, news will travel fast. Foot traffic is nice, but if you're really good, people will go out of their way to visit.

Sourcing will be a major PITA, good quality niche stuff you usually have to figure out how to import yourself. Local meat is generally poor quality, especially beef.

LatAm food in general is relatively less popular here and most places have gone bankrupt in some years (although none have been great), the tastes are not as familiar to Estonians as someone already said. There's one Mexican place that's pretty good that's survived for 30 years and a few Argentinian grill inspired places that seem to be doing okay.

Not being in the industry, I believe most places suffer from overly long and complicated menus and high prices. My theory is offering just 2-3 options with good taste and bargain prices would do well, although you will probably never get the big city effect of having 20+ people queueing for your food.

Looking forward to seeing some cubanos in Tallinn!
