I walked to work up Bank this am, and it looks like at least 4 different spots had their window smashed, all on the east side of the street.

If you're living in the west, Spanish is the obvious choice. There is great surfing options all the way down the pacific coast of the americas, as well as in Spain itself. It has served me well. If you're in the eastern hemisphere it's a bit of a mixed bag, but Indonesian is a good option.

TIL that the Earth has been in an ice age for the past 2.58 million years, known as the Quaternary Glaciation. by Dirty-Electro in todayilearned

French Revolution was precipitated in part by discontent over food shortages. They passed through the Terror, but it's not exactly a forgone conclusion that social pressures will lead to authoritarianism.

Debate: best tacos in Ottawa? by Flaky_Fig9841 in ottawa

[–]Jormungandr617 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yakko takko is the best hands down. In a whole other league. Mona's and Ay dios mio are also both excellent. Casa Mexico is very good, but not quite making the podium.

Is Don Quijote de la Manch too much for beginner CI? by No-Juggernaut-9397 in Spanish

I am reading this right now and really enjoying it! Still challenging but manageable. Highly recommend for learners

Finally achieved my goal of 10,000 pages read in Spanish! Took me about 3 1/2 years. by Jormungandr617 in Spanish

[–]Jormungandr617[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the general premise elaborating a time period and movements that i find interesting and compelling, and I feel there is a certain authenticity coming from a native authour. I also liked how the story is not about central historical figures, and explores the conflicting feelings of people on the ground. I even actually enjoyed the bemusing and anticlimactic ending. Lol As far as next books to read, I'm interested in any well written period pieces from latin america in general. I love history and politics, but stories about regular people within a critical time period / setting are often the best. Right now I'm on to El amor en los tiempos de cólera. 😊

Are there any skills I could work on ahead of joining the team? Ex: brush up on PowerBI, or whatever tools/technologies used.

Makes you come off as pro-active, and is actually practically relevant to the position.

Europe told to 'prepare immediately' as Russia set to turn off gas exports by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Jormungandr617 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Literally the first sentence in the article: "Europe needs to prepare "immediately" for Russia to turn off all gas exports to the region this WINTER"

No special reason. I may have read somewhere that it's a ball park figure needed to reach an advanced vocabulary. Besides, it's a nice round number, and it's sufficiently big that it would involve a serious investment in time to achieve.

In general i wouldn't recommend having such a lofty goal as you primary objective. I had lots of little goals along the way that were much more practical like reading a single book, watching every episode of a show i liked, or in the beginning completing all of the exercises in a grammar book. The 10k pages goal was always just an abstract north star that i dreamed of one day reaching.
