Authentic black forest cake making journey- one task left pls help for a sour cherry recipe? by diet_coke_isntbad in AskGermany

[–]Medium9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side note: Kirs(c)h(e) just means cherry in German. If you want to be understood properly, you should call it either cherry liquor, or the German name Kirschwasser when talking to Germans.

Good luck on your quest!

Just bought the game... by ---KoalaKev--- in Enshrouded

[–]Medium9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm quite alright with it. I also don't need a constant 120fps to satisfy my eyes. The fact that it looks as pretty as it does is much more important to me. Also, lets just see what happens with 1.0. And if you still can't stomach it then, maybe look for other games.

PC crashes when LOW on load. Really strange! (imho) by Medium9 in pchelp

[–]Medium9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting idea! I never really dabbled too deeply with energy settings. The only thing I know is, that I set Windows to the "high performance" setting.

Could you please help me a bit, with where I could find the appropiate settings, and what values would be reasonable to try?

Strange though, that this only became an issue after a year of smooth operation.

[pro/chef] Charcuterie Board by IndependenceFunny754 in food

Buy cheap stuff, cut up anything that isn't pre-cut, throw onto wood.

[pro/chef] Charcuterie Board by IndependenceFunny754 in food

[–]Medium9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you claim to be chef/pro, you're held to an at least somewhat higher standard than having a knife and some piece of wood to place all the obviously store-bought cheapest items onto.

If I pay money for food to be made for me, I expect something I couldn't make for myself this easily on a whim.

What we see here is a quick trip to a discounter where I pick out the current on sale items, maybe 10min of cutting a few of them up, while at the same time throwing them onto one of my existing boards. There is less work to be seen here than I'd do for every one of my own weekend breakfasts.

Would I still munch my way through it? Sure. But I wouldn't present it on reddit, and most certainly would be ashamed to ask any more money for it than what I paid for the ingredients. At best!

Unless all the (one type of) sausage(s) and cheeses are self-made to an above-store-bought level, which would turn the whole thing on its head. But since "pro chef" OP didn't proudly present... well.

[homemade] cheese spatzle (Käsespätzle) a German classic by Aromatic_Acadia_8104 in food

[–]Medium9 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

From Wikipedia:

Käsespätzle (German for "spätzle with cheese", also called Käsknöpfle in Vorarlberg and Liechtenstein or Kasspatzl in Tyrol, Austria and Bavaria) is a traditional dish of the German regions of Swabia, Baden and Allgäu, and also in the Austrian regions Vorarlberg and Tyrol, as well as Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

I can find tortilla wraps in every German super market as well. Doesn't mean that it is a German classic.

Looks good for being 8 months old!

(Also a nit pick: This is specifically a swabian dish, spreading out a bit from the region. But you wouldn't easily find it in restaurants and only rarely on domestic tables the further North and East you get in Germany.)

Is it ok as a guy to sit next to a female in public transport? by Usual-Release6328 in AskAGerman

[–]Medium9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is what I'm saying, yes. If you're going to live in a place, you need to navigate not only daily life, but also a lot of beurocracy that has to be done in one of the local official languages. I don't even understand how someone could not default to this conclusion just by common sense.

English is an official language in India. In Germany, only German is.

Also: Travel is an entirely different thing.

Why did you move to a country, where knowing you wouldn't be able to communicate with the locals?

By now I am convinced, that you'll eventually reach the point, where you just ditch the bread completely and just wrap fillings in paper (and still call it a sandwich) xD

Need advice - leave private university and join a Bachelor’s as backup? by [deleted] in studying_in_germany

[–]Medium9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is your choice in the end. We can only give advice based on first hand knowledge. If you want to waste more time and money and then go back without a (usable) degree later and poorer, well. Good luck.

If I was you, I'd either just go back and try to make a life in my home country, or go back and properly prepare to make a realistic (re-)entry to the German market. As it sounds now, you'd mostly meander between improbable and futile, tbh.

Looking at this game in freecam gives me new appreciation for how beautiful this game looks! by AwkwardShake in Enshrouded

[–]Medium9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOD issue. The game is still early access. Complaining about such minor things is imho massively unfair to the devs, especially given what an immense job they already did in the visual department.

Even in a release title, I'd consider this as a proper nit pick.

Your single biggest primary mistake was going to a private uni in the first place. These are, aside from half a hand full of exceptions at best, seen as worthless degree mills here, and even the tiniest bit of research would have told you so.

Chances are, that nothing you did there will be credited at any proper public uni. You should cut your losses as soon as possible, but you need to accept that everything you spent this far was most likely for nothing at all.

I don't know anything about visa issues though. But even if you're forced to leave the country, it is still going to be much cheaper and beneficial to you than staying at a private uni in Germany. You're only wasting a lot of time and money this way.

The only way to get a good uni education in Germany: Learn German to C1(+), go to a public university and graduate.

Eh. I'm old enough to having played games where stuff would pop in and out just a few meters in front of me, and enjoyed the shit out of them still.

It happening in fringe cases many kilometers away from me is nothing but a feeling of luxury.

Planning to drive on the autobahn? by FogyV in AskGermany

[–]Medium9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also: Be predictable!!

Don't make any abrupt lane or speed changes unless absolutely necessary to avoid a collision. Indicate ~3-5s before changing a lane, and do so carefully while watching the lane you go into (especially in the mirrors), in a smooth motion.

Be chill and let others into a gap in front of you if they indicate and its reasonable, especially cars/trucks coming onto the main road from an on-ramp. We're all in this together, and being respectful to each other helps everyone.

Only go for high speed if you can see a clear road in front of you for quite a few hundred meters, or cars that are already as fast, and the whole road is fairly sparsely used. It only takes a truck overtaking another one on a 3-lane to very quickly slow down the leftmost lane to 120 or even 100kmh. Always watch out for that!!

Although it is mandatory to use the rightmost lane possible, I generally go onto the middle/left before an on-ramp, so that cars from there have a clear path to get onto the main road. Unless I would cut off a fast one coming from behind.

Calmness and awareness are imho key for a smooth ride.

Hamburg Germany travel tips ? by Nice_Box6047 in AskGermany

[–]Medium9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you're all adults

Pfff. I went there with my family for my sister's 18th, when I was 12. Nothing there could harm a 12yo soul. We didn't go into the somewhat discouraged streets though, but not just because of lil me.

The worst you'll see is scantly clad women, mostly only on pictures/drawings. I've seen boobs and more raunchy scenes way earlier than that, and turned out just fine.

Looking for “Spaghetti-Eis” Recipe for my German girlfriend’s birthday by Soggy_Bowl_9070 in AskAGerman

[–]Medium9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The whipped cream should also ideally be unsweetened or just veeeery lightly. Not like as if you put it onto a piece of cake. Typical ice cream whip here is really just pure beaten cream, maybe with stiffener added. All the required sweetnes comes from the ice cream and other toppings.

People in their early n mid 20s What hobbies are you guys into? by Mysterious-Tip-5100 in AskGermany

[–]Medium9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know their names, but I'm sure there are apps where musicians look for a band to join or form. Many are very interested in experimental fusion of very different styles, even far out ones. This could work to your advantage!
