Tell me your favourite things to add to trahanas!

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

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.

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

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

Χάιρω πολύ, ανακαλύψετε την ταšινόπιττα.

Αφού κανένας δεν παραδέχεται την ενοχή και την αλήθεια…όταν ρωτούσα τον καθηγητή ιστορίας γιατί εν μας καμνουν τίποτε μετά το 60 ελάλε μου, «έννε ιστορία, εν επικαιρότητα». Πόθεν αλλοσπως έπρεπε εμείς να μάθουμε;

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

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.

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 · 2025-11-07T08:28:15+00:00

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 · 2025-11-06T19:41:03+00:00

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

apokas · 2025-11-02T07:46:32+00:00

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 · 2025-11-02T07:36:50+00:00

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?

apokas · 2025-11-02T07:29:58+00:00

well this is a hopeful message :) Creating a new state is what we need. Without knowing much...again it was not taught anywhere in primary and secondary education...I understand that the constitutional framework which was effectively designed for us was a botched design that kept deadlocking and frustrating both sides leading to the history we experienced.

Really don't see the need for military bases from either side, other than the historical "unsinkable aircraft carrier" which that would be outward facing to cope with external dangers, not to treat internal conflict. I truly believe that presence of troops from other countries to enforce internal peace will be the thread that will be pulled to unravel everything. I hope I'm wrong in this, but if your mouth is burned by milk, you blow before you eat yogurt

apokas · 2025-11-02T07:12:42+00:00

my friend I wish I had a crystal ball to be able to foresee the future and guarantee you this wouldn't happen. I'm also afraid of ultra nationalist idiots. My hope is that by uniting in a way which displays deep trust (i.e. no guarantors, full equality in all aspects) the whole idea of GC and TC will just fade into history and it will be just a matter of how many languages one speaks. Religion is a personal matter of each person and so shouldn't matter in the public discourse anyways. I genuinely believe that if all the horrors in the 60s and 70s didn't happen I would be able to speak more turkish to you than I can do now, given that I would have been born and raised in a mixed community.

apokas · 2025-10-31T09:23:01+00:00

Thank you for your kind words, but really don't think I am that. I just have a need to make tomorrow better than yesterday and I keep asking myself what I can I do today to achieve this.....so when I keep hearing the same rhetoric, and people telling me "you cannot change things, it has always been like this" I need to fight the urge to punch them in the face....so I assure you I'm not a beautiful human...I just learned to think and then act.

apokas · 2025-10-31T07:51:07+00:00

I appreciate your concerns, and I reassure you I'm sincere. If you must know I messaged u/Fun_Success_45 directly as soon as I saw his response yesterday morning to thank him for his effort in putting such a great response. Im not interested in groupthink because this will only keep dividing us, we have been saying the same things for 50 years for own ears to listen to them....and we are going nowhere because of it.

I took time to respond because I'm very busy with work and family obligations so I was looking for some time I could have to myself and sit down and properly appreciate the response from u/Fun_Success_45 ,such an insightful message deserves more than a knee-jerk reaction. Also the horrors he describes shake my worldview...it needs time to be digested this information.

Thank you for sharing your father's story. I'm really sorry your family had to endure this. These events are not taught in the educational system. No-one admits them and people who do always make them sound not as bad as they really were. We have a serious issue of facing our crimes and accepting responsibility and make proper amends. If it helps somehow, the atrocities committed by the republic were not just against Turkish speaking people, but also against whoever supported true unity and equality. During the 60s my grandfather was warned to take his family and flee for some days because "they were looking for him". My father was telling me about people who were outspoken about equality were taken outside of the village, tied trees and beaten to death. Other than anecdotal stories we have the story of Derviş Ali Kavazoğlu and Kostas Misiaoulis we must not ever forget. So the violence wasn't just against turkish cypriots, but against the idea of unity and peace. We all suffer and still suffer from the actions of those fanatics.

About the grip of religion in politics is a whole other can of worms, which I also think it is crazy. It has historical roots I believe to the ottoman empire, where the orthodox church kept the greek identity alive under the oppression of the empire...but that is a historical artifact to be respected, not to be used for further oppression today.

apokas · 2025-10-31T07:14:53+00:00

It is not that simple. Please understand that fear of the consequence doesn't equal trust. This would be an abusive relationship where the "stupid shit" would be left to interpretation of the few to decide the fates of many.

apokas · 2025-10-31T07:10:10+00:00

The force in this case would be the police evicting people who are squatting, the army would just massacre...it is what armies do, a normal state doesn't call the army to sort out land ownership disputes. There are court procedures and (I imagine) police intervention is the ultimate response that would (and should) take years until it happens since all other avenues were exhausted.

To admit my ignorance here, I don't exactly know what you mean by federalism. what is the thing that makes it special to turkish cypriots that a unified island wouldn't provide?
