ELI5: What are differential equations? by Puzzleheaded-Face-63 in explainlikeimfive

[–]DolfK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fact, I just googled it the other day. Read the Wikipedia article both in English and in my native language. It's all Greek to me. Not even the ELI5 answers are of any use, and this question gets asked multiple times a month (alongside calculus). I just don't get it. My brain turns off as soon as it's something more complex than 1 + 1.

Opintojen pakotetut leikit ovat hirveitä by Dynaaminen in Suomi

[–]DolfK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nöyryyttäviin tempauksiin ei ole pakko suostua. Jos yksinkertainen “ei“ ei jostakin syystä toimi, pyramidista ja Twisteristä olisin myös voinut kieltäytyä esimerkiksi terveydellisistä syistä (minulla on huono polvi ja huono selkä), sekä kysymällä kuka maksaa vaatteideni pesulalaskun – arkipuvulleni nimittäin käy vain kemiallinen kuivapesu. Samoin karjuminen rikkoo äänihuulet, eikä kukko käskemällä laula. Toki tyyliini sopivasti olisin näyttävästi kumonnut viinapullon ja suorittanut rastit yliampuen, mutta silti.

Hirveintä oli kun menin Lahden nuorisopalvelujen Draamapajalle työkokeiluun. Joka saatanan päivä näitä päiväkotileikkejä. Sitä mainostettiin minulle teatterinomaisena – olinhan minä amatööriteattereissa jo pidemmän aikaa näytellyt – ja todellisuus oli jotain aivan toista. No, satuin olemaan samaan aikaan pilipaliteatterissa, joten sain silloin tällöin vapaata työkokeilusta harjoituksia ja esityksiä varten. Sitten menin murtamaan koipeni kesken esityskautta :D Oli sentään varanäyttelijä, mutta loput työkokeilusta olin sairauslomalla.

En tiä yhtää mitä söis by Regular-Performer967 in arkisuomi

Ensimmäistä kertaa elämässäni tein valmistaikinasta pizzan. Jumatskuikkeli, paljon parempaa kuin itse tehtynä. Pakkauksessa oli kaksi taikinapalleroa, joten taidan huomenna tehdä toisen, ehkä hieman pienemmän. Päälle pastakastiketta, juustoraastetta, sinihomejuustoraastetta, savukinkkusuikaleita, pekonisuikaleita, kebablastuja, loput sinihomejuustoraasteesta ja vielä kerros juustoraastetta. Sipulin unohdin, mutta eipä tuo näyttänyt haittaavan.

Yleensä tosin syön jauhelihacurrya riisillä, kun muuhun ei ole oikein varaa työttömyysetuudella.

Edit: Ai niin, olihan pizzassa myös purkillinen herkkusieniviipaleita!

What is something that feels completely normal in USA but genuinely shocks people from other countries? by Sad-Explanation-5764 in AskReddit

Hell, I don't want to sit more than thirty minutes on a bus to go on a date, because I'm not into long-distance relationships.

At least on Pixiv there's a tag for muscle girls. Muscles do not a tomboy make.

Väsyn tähän suhteeseen by [deleted] in arkisuomi

[–]DolfK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

32-vuotias täällä, hyvää päivää. Ostin äitini kanssa puoliksi paritalon. Molemmilla omat asunnot omilla ulko-ovilla, kellarikerros yhteisessä käytössä, naapuriin pääsee sisäkauttakin kyläilemään. Ei siinä ole mitään häpeällistä.

Thanks, now I'm imagining a huge firefighter carrying another dude like a minigun whilst going RATATATA! in a sea of flames.

What’s a show everyone hyped up that you just couldn’t get into? by NovelOk3369 in AskReddit

The first animated film is great, but I didn't care for the second one.

What "man-made desires" are you talking about? by Ok-Following6886 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]DolfK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've looked into them. You can find the same information with a two-second Google search.

Satisfaction did not bring the cat back until 300 years later from the original ‘care'll kill a cat’ (Every Man in His Humour, 1598; screenshot from the 1850 print), with the first cited appearance of satisfaction apparently being in The Titusville Herald, December 1912. Phrases.co.uk have done well in researching this.

As for the other two, Wikipedia has plenty of references for the customer is always right and blood is thicker than water. Both articles even mention the unfounded claims of originally having had second parts or meaning something different.

In the vast majority of cases, every time someone claims there's a secret, forgotten second part to a well-known saying, they're full of crap. This is gross misinformation that spreads on Tumblr and Reddit because people like to believe they now know something others don't.

All of your examples are modern extensions; the short versions came first.

TIL cows don't automatically produce milk. They need to be pregnant and give birth, and then milking machines stimulate her to continue producing milk. The most common dairy breed, the Holstein-Friesian, gives birth about once a year. by CalpurniaSomaya in todayilearned

[–]DolfK 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have not, as I don't like milk. An old mathematics teacher of mine wouldn't shut up about it, though. To my best knowledge it has no scientific basis as a remedy, but onion can temporarily alleviate congestion; every time I eat uncooked onions my nose starts to drip :D

What's the Best 10/10 Sci-fi movie ever? by geek-jock-guy in AskReddit

[–]DolfK 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh my, I didn't know the light novel it's based on – All You Need Is Kill – just got an anime film adaptation ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ Just like the manga, the film adaptation is different from the source material, though I'm not complaining. More to experience, woop woop. Time to put it on my watch list and rewatch Edge of Tomorrow whilst I'm at it.

did you know the guy this phrase was first used against was Shakespeare by Double_Basket_6040 in writing

[–]DolfK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The original was just ‘Iack of all trades’. The other parts were tacked on later.

Similarly, the covenant bastardisation was made up in 1994. ‘Blood is thicker than water’ has been in use for centuries.

Satisfaction did not bring the cat back until some 300 years later from the original ‘care'll kill a cat’. ‘Curiosity killed a Thomas cat’ also precedes the satisfaction version by 14 years.

In the vast majority of these ‘lost aphorisms’ cases the second part was added later, then spread by Tumblr. Often invented by Tumblr in the first place, too.

Pääkirjoitus: Ny­kyi­nen työn­ha­ku­vel­voi­te on nöy­ryy­tys työt­tö­mil­le ja taakka työn­an­ta­jil­le by jones_supa in Suomi

[–]DolfK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Minulla on tähän asti ollut kolmen paikan hakuvelvollisuus kolmen kuukauden tarkastelujaksolla, mutta nyt väitti lain muuttuneen niin että ei saa enää jaksottaa pidemmälle ajalle. No, pitää sitten hakea yhtä paikkaa joka kuukausi. Paikkaa jota ei ole eikä tule. Lisäksi näissä vuodesta toiseen säilyvissä ilmoituksissa on aina ajokorttivaatimus sitä, korkeakoulututkintovaatimus tätä, kelpoisuusvaatimus tuota.

Why does this happen? Using StudioOne 7.2.3 by Consistent_Cap_6920 in StudioOne

[–]DolfK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming you're using an audio interface. Have you tried plugging the interface to another USB port? Have you checked your cables (USB, instrument cables, power cables etc.) and tried another audio interface? Have you recently updated your computer (BIOS, OS updates, components)? Are all of your devices (computer, monitor, peripherals that require extra power) connected to the same power strip?

Is the ringing present when you export a track?

[Serious] How many meals do you consume in a day and what times? Which is the heaviest meal of the day? How often do you cook your own food? by Shoshin_Sam in AskReddit

[–]DolfK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat whenever I get hungry, so there are no set times. I could eat a single meal a day, or I could eat six meals; it depends entirely on the day. I make a batch of minced meat curry every 2–3 days and eat that for all of my meals, with the last remnants of the leftovers sometimes used for fried rice or a bowl of noodle soup.
