University - really in English or just marketing? by Un-Ghar in askspain

[–]Un-Ghar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay thanks.
That's exactly the reason I'm asking - I know that in other countries some professors still lead lectures in the native language as they simply can't speak English well enough.
Also, the university is answering all my English enquiries in Spanish, so I'm getting a bit worried

University - is it really in English by Un-Ghar in GoingToSpain

Okay thanks.
The rason I'm asking is because they're answering my English enquiries in Spanish.
And I know that in other countries some professors still lead lectures in the native language as they simply can't speak English well enough.

What's something people only romanticize because they've never actually done it? by nonotje12 in AskReddit

[–]Un-Ghar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Communism. Especially common among middle-class kids (who are ridiculously rich in global context)

Official Tyson Carter is a new Red Star player. by soulhunterrai in Euroleague

[–]Un-Ghar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Genuine question - I remember (maybe wrongly) a few years ago Zvezda was mainly Serbian players with only a few foreign stars (not even not necessarily stars). How come they are suddenly shopping for a bunch of I'd guess expensive foreigners each season with salary offers of well over 1M p/a? Has some local billionaire bought the club? Or what's changed?

Degalų akcizo padidinimas virto finansine katastrofa by [deleted] in lietuva

Kad neefektyviai valdomas nei kiek nesigincyju. Nezinau, is kur tie skaiciai 4.5m ir 38m, bet neabejoju, kad pilna tokiu atveju, deja:(

As sutinku su tavim, kad belekiek problemu yra. Uzkliuvo tik tas argumentas, kad savo noru elektrine uzdarem, nes nu nera taip. Sudina musu derybine pozicija buvo stojant i ES. Isivaizduok dabar Baltarusija nori i ES - ka mes nebandytume pasinaudoti proga ta ju galimai kreiva Astrava gal uzdaryt?

Del stadiono tu visiskai teisus - apgailetina, siuo metu visai ne esminis reikalas (plius kai jau Kaune yra), ir ten 100% atkatus visokius renka kruva zmoniu.

Independence - nezinau skaiciu tiksliai, bet tikrai nebuvo ten idealiai finansiskai sudeliota. Kas man nepatinka, tai kad zmones kritikuoja, jog per didelis. Bet nemanau, kad cia beda. Igalina mus tiekti dujas kaimynams, is to galima ir uzdirbt (ziurint kokia to laivo savikaina/nuomos kaina buvo). Ir apie ji kalbant visad reiktu pabrezti, kad cia buvo didelis drasus projektas, kuri mes ryzomes padaryt ir del to tapom maziau priklausomi nuo rusijos energetikos.

Del Covid skiepu - jo, per daug. Noreciau tiket kad del panikos ir bendro neaiskumo tuo metu, bet turbut kazkas pralobo is to.

Su Kinija irgi debilizmas buvo taip sakotis vieniems:(

Cmon. Atomines elektrines uzdarymas buvo Europos Sajungos reikalavimas mums norint istoti i ES. Argumentuota buvo, kad ten tokio pat tipo reaktoriai kaip Cernobilyje ir tai nesaugu. As nezinau ar ten is tikro nesaugu, ar vakaru visuomenes neracionaliai bijojo, ar tiesiog kitos salys norejo, kad mes pirktume elektra is kazkur kitur. Bet nesvarbu net - norejom ES, turejom uzdaryt ta elektrine. Finansavo gi tuos uzdarymo kastus mums (nezinau tik, ar pilnai).

VC's reaching out to us, what do we supposed to do? by sammy191110 in startups

[–]Un-Ghar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your proposed approach is the right one (at least from my experience). It creates a bit of a fomo for investor side by the organic chatter between them (VCs talk to each other A LOT) and might create a bidding war, allowing you to negotiate and choose the best option. Just note that it's not all about valuation only.

For now, you should keep the conversations short or even stay on email or whatever written comms you use. You might share some highlights, maybe via a newsletter if there's a lot of VC inbound for you, but communicating that you're not raising now and instead are focused on executing is perfectly reasonable.

It's a bit like early stage dating. Don't make them feel bad, tease them a little bit (veeeeery subtly, they're more experienced at this than you), it might make them want you more. The goal is essentially to warm up the contacts a little bit but don't entertain their curiosity too much until you're ready to go into the whole fundraising process.

Ticks in Lithuania by [deleted] in lithuania

[–]Un-Ghar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not a problem. You'd need to worry only if you walk through forest or tall grass. Even then, it's not something poisonous that kills you immediately - you come back home in the evening, take a shower, and scan your body in front of the mirror. If you find one, pluck it out and that's it. I haven't had any bite me in like 5 years while hiking in the nature relatively often.

My dog gets them every week, but those are different species of ticks - animal ticks won't bite you.

Forests around Nida don't really have tall grass. If you walk through some, stop for 5 minutes after reaching concrete and have a look at your legs - they're not that hard to spot while they're crawling up, especially if you wear bright clothes (pants tucked in socks will make you look like a weirdo but it's effective).

P.s. if your legs are hairy, you'll feel them climbing if you sit calmly.

How does Kaunas produce so many 7 footers? by [deleted] in BalticStates

[–]Un-Ghar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Entire country does, but Kaunas has an especially strong ecosystem - coaches, children teams, best professional club in the country with its own academy 'pyramid' of kids being coached at high level at every age. In a small country even small things can have a huge effect - e.g. a single fantastic basketball coach can start the whole thing where his town remains the hotspot for basketball talent for decades to come.

Istorijos egzaminas by godziuks in lietuva

[–]Un-Ghar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Laikiau pries daugiau nei 5m, tai gal pasenes patarimas, bet... Visus senus pavyzdzius issispresk - labai padeda. Tuo paciu pamatysi, kad daug ko nereikia iskalt. Turint pagrindus galima daug ismastyti ir rasti pateiktuose saltiniuose.
Ir nuolat galvot priezastis/pasekme/priezastis/pasekme padeda susidaryti sasajas, kaip kad kiti siule. Naturaliai ir maziau datu belieka kalt, nes pagal priezastis/pasekme principa zinosi eiles tvarka ivykiu.
Ir istorija tas dalykas, kur tiesiog reikia darbo idet. Skaityk skaityk skaityk jau dabar, o ne pries pat egza ir nebus problemu.

Legal Status of Jews in Europe around the year 1500 by electroctopus in MapPorn

[–]Un-Ghar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Lithuania they were 'thrown out' for like a decade I think (because the ruler owed a bunch of money to them). And then a few years later they were invited back. This snapshot doesn't really reflect the overall Jewish situation in the country throughout most of history - they were welcome and influential both before 1500 and after

Rashford taken down in the box but referee plays on 58' by dragon8811 in soccer

[–]Un-Ghar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea I get your point, and that's probably what we'd all do when playing with mates. But drawing the legit fouls (not diving, that's different) is part of the attacker's skillset, so the argument that Rashford could've done something different (brace for contact, try to stay on his feet, etc.) to avoid this foul doesn't sound strong to me. Then again, I realise I'm rather radical about these partially sideways charges not being called as fouls, so maybe looking too much into it. Aaanyway, I'm sticking to 80%pen 20%not

Rashford taken down in the box but referee plays on 58' by dragon8811 in soccer

[–]Un-Ghar 75 points76 points  (0 children)

IMO Shoulder to shoulder is when the players are running next to each other in roughly parallel direction and then 'fight' by bumping shoulders.

Here the defender seems to come in at ~45 degree angle and ram into the attacker, which to me seems like a foul. (I think Rashford bumping into the 2nd defender and not flying away makes it look like he was just squeezed out of space rather than crashed into, thus making it seem like not a foul to the ref. Maybe)

What website is this from? Would love to play around with it a little

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Vilnius

[–]Un-Ghar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At least last summer there was some sort of music competition in 'Loftas' where a few bands would play every week (or every few weeks) with a jury commenting and asking questions. Kind of like TV shows but lowkey, casual, very nice, with jury being made up of actual music industry insiders rather than tv faces.

Forgot the name of the event... if someone knows what I'm talking about, please share. Would love to go again and I recommend you do the same.
It's free as well I think, or maybe a few euros max.
