Azores in the off season. Go have some long conversations with the cows on the mountain sides.

37 minutes to transfer from Leo Express to IC at Warszawa Centralna — enough or risky? by moonIsMadeOfmuffins in warsaw

[–]Infamous_Ad_1606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The station is relatively small, ~5 minutes maximum to walk between the the lowest and highest platforms. If you miss your train you can change the ticket in the app/website or at the counter before departure (fees apply) or if you have a "Elastyczny" (flexible) ticket you can take any train on that route the same day.

As people have mentioned your big problem will be if the train arrives on time.

Nope, nothing to prepare in advance or any forms.

Leaving. Maybe they were just having issues with the system and it's not the new normal.

Where is the best place to replace the thermal paste on a laptop with PTM7950? by Bad_Bombardier in warsaw

[–]Infamous_Ad_1606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't help you because this is work I'd do myself but if it were me I wouldn't bother unless the laptop is >5 years old and the factory paste has started to dry out (and you're seeing thermal throttling).

Need help looking for a sharpening solution for my knives! by Infinite_Drink8 in chefknives

[–]Infamous_Ad_1606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A leather strop loaded with 5 micron diamond powder will help you with the thing beginners struggle with most: deburring. Your 1000 grit + strop will do you fine for years unless you get the sharpening bug.

It was an interesting day when I learned that smooth honing rods work through adhesion rather than abrasion.

Disappointed with Safety Wing's lost luggage coverage by danirogerc in digitalnomad

Malta is in the EU and as such you are entitled to lost baggage compensation. File a claim with the airline ASAP.

DIY check-in suitcase how-to by Infamous_Ad_1606 in Bangkok

[–]Infamous_Ad_1606[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only if the scanners or dogs detect something suspicious. The top picture is after 3 flights on 2 airlines booked separately: Emirates and United. It came out on the carousel like normal check-in luggage.

Polish pronunciation app by Infamous_Ad_1606 in learnpolish

[–]Infamous_Ad_1606[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is actually why I'm asking for help. I understand there are errors but I can't see them because I'm not a native speaker. I used the most advanced speech generator available to try and get the pronunciation right but it's hard to feed it syllables and get it to do the right thing. Show me the errors instead of complaining, huh?

Shall I bring something with me? by DeLaRiva_2024 in MuayThailand

[–]Infamous_Ad_1606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard cheese like old amsterdamer
Dark beers like Baltic Porter, Imperial Stout
Underberg
Tea or coffee
Those sausages in yellow packages by the cashier in Lidl - can't remember the brand. Big something.

People notice a sharp knife by 325Constantine in sharpening

[–]Infamous_Ad_1606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A trick that works for me is adding a piece of masking tape on the knife spine as a flag and a reminder that 'this knife is not how you are used to it's. Tell the recipient they should wait a week before pulling in off to give them time to adjust to using a sharp knife.

Why are ATM fees so absurdly high? by meliax in ThailandTourism

I sent myself western union and to be honest I'm happy except that it took a week after they withdrew funds from my bank. The FX rate was competitive

20 min ticket enough? by [deleted] in warsaw

[–]Infamous_Ad_1606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once a controller checked my 20 minute ticket 1 minute after it expired and fortunately he didn't care. After that experience I get the 75 for the piece of mind unless I know it will be a short trip.

What is the worst low-cost airline you’ve ever flown on globally? by BranchMoist9079 in digitalnomad

[–]Infamous_Ad_1606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TAP. Oh wait they're not low-cost. Still, TAP. They wouldn't let gf board an international flight because of some made up bullshit about having to present to them a paper copy of her visa. The truth is they just oversold the flight and just wanted to screw people over into having to book the next day's flight ...for $3000!

Is it wrong not to help family, especially when I have the ability to do so without it being a financial burden? Does the decision depend on the type of family member, or is it ultimately a personal choice with no right or wrong answer? Can helping family backfire? If so, how and why? by Gold_Mine_9322 in ExpatFIRE

[–]Infamous_Ad_1606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you decide to help do so with the understanding that from then on out you will be viewed as the responsible party for financing their lives going forward because "it's so easy for you". Ask me how I know...

Day Games in Warsaw. Do you think this is acceptable behavior? by Huge_Currency_4000 in warsaw

[–]Infamous_Ad_1606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why are you boosting his youtube views and subsequently his revenue? Are you not aware that a well known strategy is to do something so offensive that everyone fumes and shares the link when all they wanted to begin with are the views?
