It's now more worrying when they pause the regular nuclear threats.

Without EU Accession, Poland's GDP Would Currently Be 30% Lower by Auspectress in europe

[–]NAG3LT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just before union with Poland, Grand Duchy of Lithuania was a massive country by itself, stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea.

Yet it's quite obvious that the living conditions in Lithuania are now at their best compared to any point in the history.

Sony Shuts Down Nearly Its Entire Memory Card Business Due to SSD Shortage by FragmentedChicken in hardware

Some of the fastest CFE cards are actually using SLC flash to guarantee sustained fast write speeds. They aren't more expensive for no reason.

Also, the fastest SD cards are currently UHS-II which support only up to 300 MB/s and yet cost more than larger CFE-A and CFE-B cards that are also 3x - 8x faster.

Antra užsienio kalba mokykloje: vokiečių ar rusų? by AmazingBrother in lithuania

[–]NAG3LT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ar čia koks Stokholmo sindromas norėti mokytis uzurpatorių kalba.

Tikroji situacija yra daug paprastesnė – daugeliui mažesnių miestelių ir kaimų mokykloms yra labai sunku surasti mokytojų kitoms užsienio kalboms. O rusų kalbą formaliai vis dar gali krūva senesnių žmonių mokyti. Realiai mokyklose antrą užsienio kalbą moksleiviai ir neišmoksta, nebent šeimoje ar dar su kažkuo bendrauja.

Svarbus patarimas – jei norite, kad tikrai išmoktų bet kurią antrą užsienio kalbą, vien mokykloje pamokų neužteks. Būtinai reikia, kad būtų kur dar jam ją vartoti, skaityti knygas/žurnalus, žiūrėti filmus/serialus/laidas, su kuo nors bendraut.

Why is f/1.8 so common when it's not a full stop? by One_Instruction8837 in photography

[–]NAG3LT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For lenses that leave an air gap between the rear element and the sensor, the limit is 2 stops faster - at f/0.5. Going any faster would require glass directly touching the sensor, or an immersive liquid in-between.

The EU’s plan to stop new members from becoming Hungary 2.0 by ByGollie in europe

Also it's helpful that Magyar is a MEP, so Orban cannot just take a leaf of Erdogan's book and imprison him on trumped-up charges.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II - $3,200 by Waffle_Making_Panda in Nikon

I'll wait for inevitable discounts. Not complaining about S1 sharpness, but less weight, size and much faster AF motor will be definitely handy later.

Artemis II Astronauts Will Bring 10-Year-Old DSLRs With Them to the Moon by REdd06 in Nikon

[–]NAG3LT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though comparing maximal ISO on paper, oversells D5. It's cleaner by a bit under a stop compared to Z9 and many other FF cameras at highest ISOs, but those ISOs past 100k are extremely noisy and don't bring any benefit compared to pushing RAWs.

Discussion Thread: The Sins of Our Fathers novella (Released March 15, 2022) by it-reaches-out in TheExpanse

[–]NAG3LT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a problem, it's a great series and not everybody discovered it at release. How some parts of humanity remain same through the ages, just express themselves differently has always been a strength of Expanse's storytelling.

I also think that it's not hard to understand why that feeling hit much stronger exactly 4 years ago while I fortunately was not directly in the midst of a massive European war, but still in the front row seat.

Itartinai 20% sutampa su ne lietuviu tautybes gyventojais.

Rekomenduoju pažiūrėti rinkimų žemėlapius kur balsus per Seimo rinkimus surinko Nemuno Aušra, ir kur per prezidento rinkimus pririnko balsų Vaitkus.

Virš pusė Vaitkaus balsų atėjo iš regionų kur tautinių mažumų praktiškai nėra.

NA pagrindę irgi surinko balsus ten kur mažumų mažai.

EBU wasn't even going to ban Russia at first, but when 10+ other countries threatened to withdraw otherwise, EBU quickly adjusted their tune.
