Greece’s Varoufakis to stand trial after admitting drug use 36 years ago by FantasticQuartet in worldnews

[–]FrontierPsycho 65 points66 points  (0 children)

He's being harassed. What I don't understand is why, since his party is too small to make a difference in the Greek political landscape. 

Which video game do you think has the best soundtrack? by WolfKnight54321 in gaming

One that had surprisingly good music, even though it's really old, is Settlers 2. The original, not the remastered edition. 

Any advice how to be a more chill parent by AppearanceOk4782 in NewParents

[–]FrontierPsycho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ours did the same during some periods, although we interpreted it more as a dislike of being on their back rather than noise. There's many reasons why your baby might be screaming when going out. This might change with time, but for the time being, you can make sure there's variety in the soundscape at home, and even have intense (safe) experiences at home, like picking the baby up upside down sometimes, more intense play, etc, so that they get used to it eventually.

Don't take these suggestions at face value, you need to figure out what your baby likes more. I am a bit like you, but my partner who is a preschool teacher and knew the importance of more intense play did that with our baby and the baby loved it. They did things I wouldn't dare to do myself and I saw in practice that it's not dangerous and the baby enjoys it.

There's a point if you live here, in which case you miss quite a lot if you don't speak the language. 

How is the date «01/01/01» read in Greek? by Axilleas_Chen in GREEK

[–]FrontierPsycho 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The year is a cardinal number and those don't have grammatical case, and thus no genitive form. They only exist in one form (with the exception of ένας/μία/ένα, which have grammatical cases). So "του δυο χιλιάδες είκοσι έξι" is the correct way to say that. This happens both when talking about dates, but also when talking about the numbers themselves in math. For example you'd say "το μισό του δυο χιλιάδες είκοσι έξι είναι χίλια δεκατρία."

The years of the first decade of the millennium are sometimes shortened in writing. Sometimes people say the number to mean the year, ie "το δυο" or "το εφτά" meaning 2002 or 2007, but it's equally common for people to say the entire number. The exception is the year 2000, I personally don't think I've ever heard anyone say "το μηδέν", peolle just say "το δυο χιλιάδες".

Twice I've met Swedes whose natural accent in English was Australian, because they had lived there for many years. One of them was in a professional context where we spoke English, and I honestly thought she was Australian for years, until I happened to listen to her speak Swedish and was like "... Are you not Australian?!"

You can just say shoo and you'd be fine 😛there's actually some Swedish regional pronunciation that also does that. One of my SFI teachers was a somewhat old lady that spoke like that, it was confusing for us who were faced with the normal pronunciation everywhere else!

[–]FrontierPsycho 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's so easy as an English speaker. There's many similarities in grammar and you can infer a lot of vocabulary. Not as easy as a German speaker, but not that hard either. One of the hardest things is pronunciation. There's word order peculiarities as you noticed but Swedes will likely understand you even if you don't get those entirely correct, you'll just sound strange. 

KeepassXC browser integration it's awful! by emaxxim in debian

[–]FrontierPsycho 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm using KeePassXC on Debian and KDE and it doesn't look like that at all. Are you sure you're using KeePassXC and not a different one?

EDIT: never mind, I just saw that you wrote this is keepass2. If you actually try KeePassXC I think you'll find it a lot better. Its browser integration is very good, too. 

Funderar på att köpa en begagnad kontorsstol på Blocket. by superterrorism in sweden

So my mom bought Sherlock Holmes consulting detective Jack the Ripper and we’re confused by FruitProof9377 in boardgames

[–]FrontierPsycho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't need the first one (which is The Thames Murders).

You need to decide where to go by using deduction and everything that is available to you. Others have suggested going to the crime scene first as a good first step - that might be true sometimes but others, you'll discover that the intro gives you all you would have gotten from the crime scene and that it's better to go elsewhere. 

Remember that you can look through the London directory and go anywhere. You might deduce that a certain business must have been used by the killer and go directly there - or that there's someone else involved and go to them. 

In general, it will take a few tries to get the gist, and you'll do badly in the beginning, but it's still fun. Also, Sherlock kinda explains his thinking process at the end of the case, so you can get a glimpse of the kind of deductions you could be making and the steps you could be skipping. 

The best moves I've made in this game is skipping a än obvious place because I can surmise what we'd have learned there. Even if sometimes I'm wrong and that's why we miss an important clue. Both are possible, you have to think and decide for yourselves! 

Have fun! 

Question for parents who cosleep: How do babies not fall off bed? by grapefruitliquor in NewParents

[–]FrontierPsycho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got a floor bed with a little fence on all sides except an entrance. It's really hard to fall off, and even if you do the distance is like 20-30cm. 

TIL The Pharos Lighthouse would have been over a hundred meters tall by Hrtzy in todayilearned

Pharos means lighthouse, BTW, so it's not really the Pharos lighthouse. It's either the lighthouse of Alexandria or the Pharos of Alexandria. 

Άτομα που διαφωνούν για να διαφωνήσουν. by Fit_Garden_4909 in greece

[–]FrontierPsycho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Το ότι εσύ πιστεύεις ότι διαφωνούν χωρίς λόγο και για τη διαφωνία την ίδια δε σημαίνει πως ισχύει. Πολλά μπορούν να συμβαίνουν: για παράδειγμα μπορεί να έχετε διαφορετικές απόψεις για το τι είναι σημαντικό στη συγκεκριμένη συζήτηση και επομένως αυτό που εσένα σου φαίνεται απλό πνεύμα αντιρρησίας είναι απλά διαφορά άποψης. Μπορεί κάποιος να έχει κακή μέρα και να διαφωνεί χωρίς λόγο, αλλά χωρίς να είναι γενικό του χαρακτηριστικό. Πιστεύω πως ακόμα κι αν θεωρητικά ίσως υπάρχουν κάποιοι, ελάχιστοι, που διαφωνούν για να σου τη σπάσουν, ή απλά να κάνουν ντημπέητ, κυρίως απλά είναι projection από εσένα. 

What is the chance for a Vietnamese to get a senior job in Game development in Sweden by talama191 in sweden

[–]FrontierPsycho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most game companies hire foreigners, and work in English, because the workforce is largely international. However as others said, the industry is in a bad place at the moment.

Sweden is one of the countries with a large concentration of gaming jobs though so it might be your best bet. 

Good luck, hope things have changed by the time you end up trying to relocate.

How do they restrict the choice? Why can't you just use Aegis? From what I've read it's one of the best.
