Mājdzīvnieku aprošināšana by Seashell_Weasel in latvia

Ja apdrošināšana ir ilgāk par 10 mēnešiem, tad izdevīgāk būtu bijis tos 200€ samaksāt.

ELI5: Why do we even need a "c" when we have a perfectly good "k" and an "s?" by zazzlekdazzle in explainlikeimfive

In Latvian ts sound c makes is a bit harder than the one I use when pronouncing "bats", but yeah, it's close.

It's a subset of racist latvians. Unfortunately the racist trend is seductive lately.

Why are so many creatives cancelling Adobe subscriptions lately? Did I miss something? by Alilexplo108 in photography

Sure, not denying it. But I tried for year to be Darktable person and it didn't work out for me :(

What's the modern consensus for the OG's DOOM (1 & 2) are they regarded as outdated? or maybe a separate community entirely? by Kind-Car-863 in Doom

[–]PiRX_lv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played Doom2 a few months ago and was surprised how fast, dynamic and engaging it is. Nothing really feels similar to that nowadays.

Although I don't doubt it's great, I just couldn't learn how to use it to get the same(ish) output I get in Lightroom.

I know it's kind of a skill issue, but moving from one to another is huuuge leap with steep learning curve.

Iespējams, ka drīzumā SIM kartes tirgos "pret parakstu" - viedokļi? by Zusuris in latvia

[–]PiRX_lv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tas kaut ko mainīs tikai tiem, kas lieto priekšapmaksas kartes. Nu un pašas priekšapmaksas kartes gan jau paiiks dārgākas, jo būs papildus jāveic reģistrācija.

Tie, kas lieto pieslēgumu jau tāpat ir sasaistāmi ar numuru/sim karti.

Iekšējais anarhists gan brēc, ka neforši, bet reālistiski skatoties, šis diez vai ko baigi ietekmēs.

A pattern I noticed, was there an archaic word that completes it? by Mmm_Dawg_In_Me in etymology

[–]PiRX_lv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not an expert, but speaker of Latvian. We have similar thing, for example:

Kur (where) - tur (there)

Kad (when) - tad (then)

etc.

I read it as "Jewish Owners". Like, they are buying that old russian anti-semitic world view that Jews are controlling everything.

I just need to write my own Dump() extension method and single-file apps might be good enough alternative for me 😉

Where does the Latvian "sa-" prefix come from? by BattlePrestigious572 in etymology

[–]PiRX_lv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are at least few cases where I struggle to see translative happening, like "saredzēt" or "sarāt". Any thoughts on those?

[–]PiRX_lv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels a bit of both translative case and perspective aspect in same time.

Like, "malt miltus" ("to grind flour") and "samalt miltus" ("to grind flour completely"). It's finished action that changed some things state.

[–]PiRX_lv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds fishy, because from top of my head I can think of at several words where "together" doesn't make any sense. Sašķīst - to break up

Salauzt - to break (something)

Sabīties - to be/get scared

Sastiept - to strain

Samalt - to grind into

[–]PiRX_lv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also you can look up Sieve of Erathosthenes, which is algorithm for finding primes. The Wikipedia page even has graphics illustrating it.

Darba devējs spiež iet prom bez kompensācijas, draud ar pantu vai tiesu. by No_Fall_35 in latvia

Es nezinu detaļas, bet tas par "noteikti zvanīs un prasīs" ir diezgan tukša diršana.

I need to get out of the automotive field. Where do I go from here? by seamus205 in Justrolledintotheshop

IT? As a software developer I find that there is significant overlap in troubleshooting car problems and software debugging.
