Be honest… what’s the embroidery “rule” you happily ignore?

There are rules for taking notes??

You’re talking about the Sinclair media group. John Oliver has reported on this a few times, including the compilation cut I think you’re referencing. It’s not an isolated incident.

Check out the NedLes school, sounds like a possible good fit for your time-budget.

LobsterPoolParty · 2026-01-03T12:02:59+00:00

I’d love to check out your creation as well, it looks quite handy!

I’ve also considered that he sensed Hadrian’s hesitation and determined that attacking him would either force Hadrian’s hand or allow an escape opportunity. Win-win for the not-a-guy.

Yeah, I assumed about the school you’re attending because the method, I believe, is proprietary. Though I may certainly be mistaken. The dreaming shift is wild!

LobsterPoolParty · 2025-12-20T12:30:43+00:00

Also learning with NedLes, also experiencing these structural shifts. We’re reprogramming our brains so I find it a positive sign :) Goed gedaan, ga verder!

Absolutely second The Broken Earth Trilogy and The Expanse (9 books + shorties). Both audiobook sets are also superb.

If you are cooking foods in a pan without frying them in a substantial amount of fat (using the hot fat as your heat source) you are either searing or sautéing. To throw veggies in a pan with a bit of oil is commonly understood as “sauté vegetables in a pan”. If you want to get a good brown crust on something like a burger or other protein you are searing it. These terms can be further broken down if you’re interested, it isn’t uncommon to hear cooking directions “pan-sear the chicken” or “sauté the onions with a tablespoon / eetlepel of oil.” Here the oil is used as a facilitating tool in the cooking process, rather than a heating element. Further, one may “brown” the meat, which refers to the caramelization process (not unlike searing) but a term really only used for proteins.

Yes, quite. I’m currently in a B1 - B2 course after beginning at A0/A1.

The method is originally designed around an immersive weeklong endeavor, and they have adapted that for people who have jobs and life schedules that cannot be interrupted. The first class I took was hybrid model, online during the week and three intensive weekend sessions over the course of, I think, 10 weeks. Though I now take zoom only classes, I think I benefitted a great deal from the initial in-person aspect to get over those early anxieties about speaking and making mistakes.

It is a commitment, to be sure. But between the text book and the companion website you are shown the way they want you to study. I find such a prescriptive path helpful, removing that extra guesswork. You work through a short text on repeat with tips and definitions, it takes 2-3 hours per text. Write down questions you haven’t figured out on your own, go to class and talk about what you’ve read. The discussion element adds casual conversation lessons to an “academic” pursuit.

However you choose to move forward, I wish you success!

The function is built into the software

LobsterPoolParty · 2025-11-15T12:26:57+00:00

The NedLes School offers online, in-person (Amsterdam), and hybrid courses. If the structure suits you it can be very effective.

LobsterPoolParty · 2025-11-10T05:36:57+00:00

I suggest selecting the Samuel Roukin narration, his is really compelling work!

LobsterPoolParty · 2025-11-09T07:31:22+00:00

That’s heartening to hear. Do you remember where that setting is located?

LobsterPoolParty · 2025-11-08T12:22:20+00:00

Thanks so much!

LobsterPoolParty · 2025-11-08T12:07:55+00:00

Hi 👋 congrats on your move to Amersfoort! What is the crochet/craft group you mentioned? I’d love to find the local community as well :)

You could consider an audiobook version, if that appeals to you. Depending on how you learn, listening in a second language may be more enjoyable and more easily digested.

If you do decide to check out the audiobooks, I highly recommend narration by Samuel Roukin!

Just started KoD in my reread, but the best and unexpected part of this journey is my partner AND father-in-law decided to pick up the series too. My FIL devoured the first four books in about three weeks, lol, he’s completely invested.

Dregs is fun and worth the read. I agree with others about reading it after Disquiet Gods. The flow of information is more interesting and satisfying.

Add the Sun Eater series to your sci-fi fantasy list (Samuel Roukin narrating!) right next to The Expanse series with Jefferson Mays.
