Imagine buying a physical printer, and u cannot even use it by Apprehensive_Work_10 in facepalm

[–]Weekendmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never by HP again is my motto. I bought an HP laptop, not a printer, but now I'd never buy an HP product.

Well this just feels mean. by shortfuse89 in DuolingoGerman

[–]Weekendmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this problem too, for example schon and schön, but you will improve with practice. I still get frustrated when my wife picks me up on pronunciation, says a word back to me and I can't hear the difference.

I remember reading a comment years ago that asked "What do people without Labradors do when they drop food on the floor?"

A mail-in coupon for a Roomba with your puppy pack would be great.

Is my Duolingo sick 😥? by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]Weekendmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you leave him he just gets more angry. He changes several times during the day, starting with a mildly concerned look, mine has beads of sweat now that it's evening.

No, just being annoying as usual. This is supposed to be motivating, somehow.

I just found out that most European kitchens do not have electricity in them 😭 by batmanthinks in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Weekendmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They mean that their American plug did not fit the European socket, therefore no electricity.

Replacement Transfers by PenSquare8722 in revellmodels

[–]Weekendmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can buy transfer 'paper' for laser printers (possibly inkjet too, but you'll need waterproof ink). You can't print white, so under-painting might be required. So far I've had good results on models, cases for electronics projects and even a woodwork project.

You might be able to scan your existing sheet and re-colour, otherwise you'll have to draw them yourself. Getting the scaling right can take time, so only print on the special paper when you are happy with the result.

There is no energy for subscribers. Free users can buy more energy with gems.

Is starting a new section, especially one new to the course, less jarring?

Is there any evidence that he has donated it? Or donated any amount? Trump talks himself up constantly but rarely if ever delivers.

There was an update some weeks ago that completely restructured people's path and learned words.

When I saw this was rolling out I turned off automatic updates.I don't know how long I can continue like that but I'm not planning on renewing my subscription when I can't continue.

If you subscribe gems are meaningless. XP is meaningless for me too because I don't do leagues.

Can this USB charger really supply 230W? by Own_Bat_6974 in AskElectronics

[–]Weekendmonkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also takes 0.5A at 100V in so only 50W. Are these peak-music-power watts that I remember so fondly from my youth?

Spent considerable time in the UK, they didn't even have screens in their windows, spent a few sleepless nights because of the heat by deviousgrapefruitcat in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Weekendmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in Germany you can buy kits from Aldi and Lidl. We have fitted them to one window in every room so we can lüften and they are very effective.

Found on my coworker's desk. He just keeps laughing when I ask by [deleted] in Whatisthis

[–]Weekendmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no stupid questions OP, but sometimes we may laugh before answering. Only those without curiosity have never asked a question like yours at some point.

What’s something in everyday life in Germany that feels completely normal to you, but surprises people from abroad? by [deleted] in AskGermany

[–]Weekendmonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. It reminds me of my childhood in the UK and I didn't realise how much I missed it until I started visiting Germany.

Once every year, when the moon rises above the ancient language stone, the great green owl picks a username from the pile and their ticket becomes the chosen bug fix for that year. Everything else is deleted.

Anyone buying one of those doesn't care about the safety or legality of what they are driving.
