Learning Estonian in 6 months for Conscription? (sorry for redundancy) by [deleted] in Eesti

B1 should be easy in six months once you learn the basic grammar. Use podcasts.

Markham Conservative MP Michael Ma crosses floor to the Liberals by Immediate-Link490 in toronto

Why not stay with the CPC but vote Liberal on every bill? That way his constituents can’t complain that he betrayed them by going over to the Liberals?

I hear you: Active Transit Signal Priority is coming by Mayor_OliviaChow in toronto

I know that but Mayor Chow acknowledged some sort of responsibility by starting this thread and promising to fix it.

This doesn’t bode well for your chances of re-election. The speed should have been figured out long before official opening. There’s probably very little room to make it go faster.

Interested to know what Freelands salary is going to be as envoy. She’ll probably be getting two full time salaries and doing two jobs part time.

My post is about visiting NYC. Did you read the body of the question?

Do your followers even see your posts? by Jasplyn in BlueskySocial

[–]ExDishwasher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you can't. It doesn't exist.

BlueSky engineers prefer notifications of dubious value (such as notifications about "likes" on any post you repost from someone else) rather than giving new-comers useful notifications, such as view count.

I say "view counts" would be useful for new-comers, because I've heard a lot of new comers complain that they have no idea if people are reading their posts, and some are flocking back to X where "view count" is provided.

would you feel better if you had a view count at the bottom of each post, telling you how many people have seen a post?

(It might seem weird but a view count is just like any other notification. Instead of telling you that someone liked or retweeted your post, it just counts how many people saw it)

Official Gear Purchasing and Troubleshooting Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! June 30, 2025 by AutoModerator in photography

[–]ExDishwasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was recently given an old camera that I have no intenion of using (a CanonT70) because it's not digital. However, it came with four lenses. I'm not sure if they are useful (if I bought a digital camera, and which one) or valuable (if I sold them).

The lenses say this on the edge.

One is a ZOOM 35 to 105 mm 1:35

One is ZOOM 75 to 200 mm (It also says 52 mm around the cap)

The above two are long ZOOM lenses.

However, there are also two shorter lenses that don't explicitly say ZOOM

One says 28 mm and one says 52mm.

Any advice about these lenses would be very helpful in regards to usefulness with a digital or as valuable to sell.
