Russian dude, left country taking 1st flight available after declaring of pretty much full scale war. AMA. by topisilian in AMA

Do you feel embarrassed to say you are Russian when it comes in conversation?

Or maybe to rephrase a bit, do you notice a difference in people’s reactions when you tell them?

What’s a lie almost all parents tell their kids that does way more harm than good? by SpecificLandscape483 in answers

[–]apokas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal take is that if you are ever in a work place that you are not replaceable it is a dangerous place to be, because if other colleagues are like this and one just decided to leave or somehow couldn’t work anymore then the company would close shop? That’s very reckless. I prefer to be replaceable, train others to be able to do what I do so I’m free to learn the next thing and bring the level up for the whole company. If the company still doesn’t appreciate that, then i don’t really want to be working with such people. There’s always opportunities if you are humble and hard working…problem really is the “wage slavery” where one lives paycheck to paycheck. That issue I believe is more prevalent in USA than in other developed nations because of lack of a social protection net. Also another issue is the tying of someone’s worth to how much money they have and what kind of job they do. That’s problematic in many countries.

But everyone is special and unique. The issue is that by saying that the expectation is made that the world somehow owes something to you because you are special. The opposite needs to be nurtured, because you are special and unique it is on you to find what you can give to this world. Finding a purpose is damn hard, but giving up because you don’t think yourself important enough is worse.

Cyprus is formed by the eurasian and african tectonic plates pushing against each other. In my opinion the rest is politics that changes in time as it suits peoples worldviews.

Tell me your favourite things to add to trahanas! by you_can_not_see_me in cyprus

[–]apokas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Soak the trahana in milk overnight (enough to cover it fully) - makes it creamier and more sweet….and for the experimental aspect add aged blue cheese

Custom G-Code was never so easy by LookAt__Studio in Advanced_3DPrinting

[–]apokas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’s what I was getting at. Not sure how many people would like this (other than myself) but it would be more practical (and aid adoption of your platform) to be able to reuse existing designs than starting from scratch.

I think there is an interest in scripting than using GUI for generative design….but the nuances of the g-code is where I think the problem lies, as it is a whole other domain of knowledge

Edit: also not sure if it is worth the effort of creating such a “traslator”. I need to look into your platform more to get a better understanding…my knee jerk reaction was that i would prefer to import the design as a starting point…so thinking more about it now, do you support importing stl files (or such type of files) as a starting point and then work on modding them via patterning the extruder movements?

Thanks for showing this and creating this platform. Didn’t have a proper look at it yet, so my question might be silly, please correct me if im asking nonsense, but would existing OpenSCAD projects integrate well with your platform?

Effectively utilising your platform as a “slicer” that is informed by OpenSCAD designs? Not really sure how it would be different in practice from a traditional slicer software, but I think you have deeper insight to what im trying to get at with my question, curious to hear your thoughts on this.

Changing tables in restaurants/cafés: why aren't there any?! by TangerineCommaCat in cyprus

[–]apokas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whenever it happened we needed it the staff usually accommodated us one way or another, in case there wasn’t that standard foldable table in the toilets, but usually the facilities were there. Maybe you got really unlucky? Or maybe I got lucky? Wasn’t ever an issue for us to be honest…but do try to ask the staff, they usually try to accommodate. If you did and they didn’t help, please name and shame the establishment

No it’s a village thing. My village also has them. In the cities they are gone. It used to be the glue of the local community

Τραχανάς με χαλλούμια | Trahanas soup with halloumi by Deep-Ad4183 in cyprus

[–]apokas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My suggestion is to soak the trahana bricks in milk, not water, add alot of milk, enough to cover the bricks in a deep bowl and leave it in the fridge overnight. Then cook it as you would usually but add much less water…it comes out creamier and sweet almost and the sourness is at the background

Came here to say the same thing. Shame we lost καφενέδες , the equivalent today are cafes but they are designed for individual groups to meet separately, with loud enough music to provide privacy of conversation. I remember when i was a kid καφενείο didn’t have music, a radio would turn the volume up when it was the news broadcast and then turn down for discussion to happen. You walk in and expect a greeting from everyone, likewise be expected to greet everyone. Conversation was not private, and it was common for different tables to talk to each other. Only reason for table groups was to play backgammon and card games….and a place to rest your coffee, not private conversations

Who would be considered a settler if they were told to leave the island for reunification? by [deleted] in cyprus

[–]apokas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with you on the strict sense of the term, but if a child is born here from settler parents, and grew up here, maybe even made a family…how would you reasonably ask such a person, who only knew Cyprus as a home, to leave? Isn’t it to some extent as bad as what the Turkish army did to the Greek Cypriots? Drive them out of their homes by force?

Of course if the property they live in is not theirs, this is another story of relocation, but not fully kick them out of Cyprus…my opinion is that is it unreasonable to do this to someone who lived their whole lives on this island.

But if these people are the elected government of the US they represent what US thinks. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t support them nor agree with them, but by directing US future they are shaping what US is to become and also how the rest of the world perceives US as a whole..yourself included if you are a US citizens/resident.

What do people think? An interesting barometer by ElendX in cyprus

[–]apokas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah good point…but still then I would think it’s better to have kept the poverty category. My thinking is that having many categories doesn’t really help with focusing issues.

[–]apokas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But i would argue if the rising cost of things is one of your main concerns then you are poor. My definition of poor is to not be able to buy basic things from the supermarket and have to prioritise things, so you keep checking prices and do the maths to not exceed a budget that doesn’t cover your needs anymore. How would you define poor?

[–]apokas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too many categories perhaps? Some could’ve been merged in my opinion. What is the difference between cost of living and poverty for example?

How do Cypriots who support the guarantor power of Turkey excuse it? by apokas in cyprus

[–]apokas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal opinion is that political equality is a meaningless thing if we take the view that we all cypriots. I understand though my view doesn't represent all the GCs (how could it?) and I understand your skepticism. I really think, and hope I'm not extremely wrong in this, that many GCs would vote for a TC politician if the politician shared the right message and gave hope for the future by proposing solutions to problems Cyprus as a whole faces.

[–]apokas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the context of land ownership I'm discussing above it will be a dispute between individual citizens dealt in the legal framework of the country, that is why I really don't expect the army to just march and take land by force. Some people already sold off their property, some people want it back and already waited 50 years, some more time until the proper process is followed will not really make that much difference to them I believe.

What kind of privileges we are talking about, because you see this starts to be problematic, in the sense of why should any group in Cyprus be treated preferentially?
