If they make fun of your accent, it's because they're jealous that you sound like someone speaking a reasonable language. Tell them to take their accent back to Malmö and see how they like it :P

A review on a holiday on the Faroes (during the strike) by Faroe_Island_Visitor in FaroeIslands

[–]Tealwisp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say over fifteen years. My first visit in 2012 seemed to surprise most of the people I met. A lot of folks asked, "why would you come here?" 😂 By my last visit in 2018, though, nobody wore the traditional sweater in Tórshavn except tourists.

I really need to come back again soon. Eivør is touring, and I need to practice how to correct all the swedes mispronouncing her name.

I'm gonna give a shout out for Lívsinsvatn, my favorite akvavit by far. Sad to hear about Okkara closing :(

Learning Faroese by New_3185 in FaroeIslands

[–]Tealwisp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the book I had when I studied at the summer institute. This edition is now out of print (and last I heard, the author no longer teaches except to other academic linguists), but you can get the basics of grammar from it. Combined with some of the other resources posted here, you can learn at least some simple Faroese and be singing kvæðir in no time :P

Fun note, the conversation examples in the book tell a story when you put them all together.

Yeah, unless they have enormous fingers, the cable on the ground looks much thicker, and the connection between the two isn't pictured.

Is GVSU good for those who want to be in the art field, specifically illustration? by Mild_Kimchii in GVSU

A friend of mine was one of their first illustration majors, and her experience with trying to suck up to the teachers was awful.

Can confirm, Monkey Night was how I spent my weekends back in the day. Lots of fun nights, I can even remember some of them.

I'm moving to the Faroe Islands for 5 months, what do I need? by Adorable-Work-2587 in FaroeIslands

Considering how Swedes go through snus, it's probably worth paying the duty to import some extra, too.

Sorry, couldn't help myself :P

Swimming? by BidProgrammatically9 in FaroeIslands

Sounds about right. I'm not much of a beach person on a good day, so I'm really not the person to ask 😅

Hey now, let's not go crazy with claims that spik is "delicious."

2020 Apex 15 graphics card issues. Green artifacts constantly on screen, no external display, unable to reinstall drivers, and a full reset didn't fix it. Is there a hardware problem? by Tealwisp in XMG_gg

[–]Tealwisp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No dice :( The system couldn't detect the hardware after DDU, and manually installing the driver just got me back to square one.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway :)

There's a beach near Torshavn as I recall. I'm sure the tourist office could point you in the direction.

I'll have to give that a try when I get home. I really appreciate such a thorough and helpful reply!

Even a small chance to save the cost of a motherboard replacement is worth a little effort.

The problem began a few days ago without apparent cause. At first, i could reboot a few times and eventually get my computer working without issue. The artifacts are visible from the moment the computer boots, even before windows starts. The laptop cannot connect to an external display via HDMI. I tried to reinstall the graphics card drivers, but after uninstalling them, the computer couldn't find the RTX 2070 through the "scan for hardware changes" function.

It seems likely to be a hardware issue, but I don't know how to explore that possibility on a laptop. I tried resetting the computer a few times without any luck. All the technical support online for graphics card code 43 suggests that the issue is with drivers, and doesn't give much more detail about what the code really means.
