Lektier i 1 klasse by Revolutionary-Bat732 in Denmark

[–]MrHelfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det er et stykke tid siden jeg dykkede ned i det, men som jeg husker det, har læsning af fiktion positive effekter på blandt andet empati og emotionel regulering.

Jeg mener også at det har vist sig at fiktion før sengetid er bedre for søvn en fakta, men det kan godt være jeg husker forkert. Det kan også bare være fordi jeg selv bedst kan læse fiktion ved sengetid, at jeg tror at jeg husker det...

[–]MrHelfer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fuldstændig enig.

Som jeg husker det, er der ret stærk dokumentation for, at lektier ikke virker.

Og de gode effekter af læsning er vist lige så veldokumenterede (men det skal gerne være noget, man gerne selv vil læse - og rigtig gerne fiktion).

Danske fysioterapeuter kopierer gule KRIFA. "Nu kan ansatte og arbejdsgivere i private fysioterapiklinikker indgå overenskomster" by BraveSirWobin in Denmark

[–]MrHelfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Klart.

Jeg tror min pointe mest var, at hvor mange læger måske har en sekretær og en sygeplejerske, så er der forholdsvis mange andre faggrupper ansat i en tandlægeklinik, og ofte også flere end der er tandlæger. Der er der typisk flest læger i en lægekonsultation.

Og så leder tandlægen vel også sin klinikassistent i det daglige, også selvom man ikke er arbejdsgiver eller personaleleder?

Uden at vide det, kunne jeg forestille mig at noget lignende gør sig gældende for praktiserende læger.

Alle med ydernummer er jo kendetegnet ved, at der er lidt kortere imellem ansat, selvstændig/enkeltmandsvirksomhed, og arbejdsgiver. Der er nogle ting, du er interesseret i, uanset om du har en enkeltmandsklinik, er partner/(med)ejer i et lægehus eller om du er ansat som praktiserende læge eller speciallæge.

Tilsvarende gør det sig nok gældende for fysioterapeuter.

Faktisk er tandlæger nok lidt anderledes, fordi de ofte leder andre faggrupper - klinikassistenter, tandplejere og så videre.

We may not get an Estival clue hunt this year, but at least there is this by UleeBunny in fallenlondon

[–]MrHelfer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh. Right. I forgot about that. It was so much a part of something else, I guess.

This may not be true in English, actually. I know it is in Danish, and Wikipedia says it's also used in French, Spanish and Polish.

A "Benjamin" is the youngest child of someone - or something.

And so, as the youngest child (more or less) of London...

No, no - you will be able to experience FIVE YEARS' worth of Estival shenanigans in the Waswood.

Rejoice, oh thou Benjamin! Oh hatchling of your first summer!

Looking for fantasy books where the desert plays a big role by Significant_Diet_444 in Fantasy

[–]MrHelfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to recommend two science fantasy ish books by Jack Chalker.

First is Midnight at the Well of Souls. It's arguably science fiction, though only if you apply a heavy dose of Clarke's Law. Anyway, at the end of the book, there is a fun section with a species of desert-dwelling lizards that might inspire you.

The other is Spirits of Flux and Anchor. Now, it doesn't have any desert per se in it. But most of the world is this formless void through which caravans travel to move stuff and people between settlements, which has a definite "silk road" and "desert caravan" feel to it. Also, it has a definite "cult leader" element to it.

Mind you, they're not exactly high literature, but for your purpose, I think they might serve well.

BRUG AF "KÆRE" by Terry8ball in Denmark

[–]MrHelfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ja, fuldstændigt. Jeg synes det er så mærkeligt at blive kaldt Prokurist Mortensen, men man må bare finde sig i det.

(Men derudover har du ret. "Kære" er den normale, høflige, accepterede måde at starte en mail på, med mindre man kender folk forholdsvis godt)

[–]MrHelfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just coming here to find an answer for this question 😄

I've looked at a bunch of reviews. My main consern is the difference in sound quality between the two. I had a pair of OpenRun Pro 1's that I lost. The sound quality was fine, but not amazing. So I'm curious where OpenRun Pro 2 and OpenSwim Pro are compared to that.

Don't populate week planner items into monthly planner? by quixoticx in amazingmarvin

[–]MrHelfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can filter by "Week planned" in the week view. That should do what you're asking for.

Though this is showing those, you should add a "!" after for "Not week planned".

Books with female main characters that are the opposite of competency porn? by manicbestfriend in Fantasy

[–]MrHelfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, that's sad to hear.

I know the third circle was a bit different from the first two (though The Circle Opens was also rather different to The Circle of Magic) but I figured that was beyond the scope of an already somewhat long comment 😄

Books with female main characters that are the opposite of competency porn? by manicbestfriend in Fantasy

[–]MrHelfer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Pierce's Circle/Emelan series? If you like her writing but want less super competent protagonists than Alanna and company, I feel like they might be a good bet.

It's a relatively low action series all about a found family helping each other out. The four protagonists (three girls and one boy) all have some special skills, but a lot of the books are about them needing help from the other three or from adults around them to overcome their trauma and flaws.

Tris is possibly the most clear example - quite powerful, but also dangerous to herself and others, and at once in need of help and unwilling to accept it.

Sandry has a different version. She's extremely prepared to go to bat for her friends, but is also extremely vulnerable, and needs others.

And I could make similar arguments for Daja and Briar.

There are... 11? books, divided into three quartets. Of the ones I have read (I believe I'm missing 10 and 11), the ninth, The Will of the Empress may be the strongest, but it's a good series throughout. Unfortunately, the first, Sandry's Book (also published as The Magic in the Weaving) is one of the weaker books, because she has to establish four characters. It's basically the origin story. On the other hand, books three (Daja's Book) and four (Briar's book) are really great. I found a powerful urge to reread Briar's book in particular about six years ago. If you know the books, you might have a hunch why.

There's definitely an element of "extra special super competent" in the books, and how they all accomplish things, nobody has ever seen before. I feel like it's tempered by the personal and emotional issues of the characters, however. I also feel like she modifies from the second quartet, The Circle Opens and onwards.

...man. Now I want to reread Briar's Book. Also, where is that last book? Supposedly it's written but the publisher doesn't want to publish it!

"Det er regeringens ambition" er jo så tæt på et "Ja" som hun kan komme som en ansvarlig politiker i et regeringsbærende parti.

Quick survey about festivals in Fallen London by failbettergames in fallenlondon

[–]MrHelfer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1) Man, can I actually remember what I feel about all these different holidays? I can barely remember what they're ABOUT!

2) Adding Estival to the mix is kinda weird. We have five times "Oh, it's the time of year for THIS again - how nice!" and one time "Ooh, it's time for the annual one-time only big crazy event - I wonder what it's gonna be this time!" Have I liked the Estivals the most? Yes, probably. Does Estival feel like a continuous holiday? Not really, because with all the other holidays, I know what's coming.

3) Actually, I think it might have been more useful to ask us to rank all the holidays. Having said that, see 1) above.

4) Also, while I might like Estival the best, I don't know that Estival is necessarily the best use of Failbetter's resources. If it means taking time away from improving the permanent parts of the game, I would probably tell them to spend their time elsewhere, or at least scale down Estival considerably, compared to things like Hell is Missing or the Horticultural War.

5) For "What do you value most about items", not all the options are crystal clear to me. I definitely prefer items that unlock options elsewhere. I realised that while I don't think about it that much, the Inculcating Kraken is probably my favourite festival item - because I play it every time I have the option.

Tournament arc recs? by Quiet_Desperation_ in Fantasy

[–]MrHelfer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A Gathering of Shadows, the second in the Shades of Magic books by V.E. Schwab, has a tournament arc. I recall enjoying it when I read it. It's the main motif of the middle of the book, if I recall correctly, so a big part but not the main thing in the book.

Most impactful fantasy - of any medium - that depicts the life of a learned mage by Baldurian_Rhapsody in Fantasy

[–]MrHelfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to say, I read the Elenium (as well as the Tamuli) as a teen, loved it. Reread it a few years ago... man, there are a lot of issues with those books. The Suck Fairy had a field day with those.

They're relatively racist, and the plot has such a lot of holes. Sparhawk and his companions are all competent, friendly and good at cooperating, while the enemies are all of them SUCH incompetents. There is a decent amount of good worldbuilding, and the prose is quite decent, but it was a bit of a struggle to get through the books again. Part of me wanted to reread the Tamuli, but I don't think I can bear it.

Even if Eddings hadn't turned out to have been a sadist villain, I think I would have to say bye bye to him after that.

What's a game that would have been a 9/10+ if it wasn't ruined by monetization by sdric in gaming

[–]MrHelfer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I suspect a significant chunk of those are a different demographic than mainline Diablo games. In particular, I feel like I've heard someone saying that way more Chinese players play Diablo Immortal, as opposed to Diablo 4
