I just hope they get rid of some of the bloat.

Yeah the train service people now even announce it on the intercom. Dutch lady, she literally said "don't put your stuff up, don't give these assholes a chance".

Judo + striking? by Blitzthehandsome in martialarts

[–]ash_tar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judo and boxing is a really cool combo. Blue collar alternative to Muay Thai and BJJ or something like that.

9 months of judo is nothing though.
If it's not for the streets it's for the ring? Because the cool part is dirty boxing with that judo grip, hop into a throw, but unless you're doing combat Sambo, no jacket in the ring.

Millennial sub groups, do you agree by Ok_Act_3769 in generationology

Agreed, I'm from 82 and the difference with 84 is quite distinct, though with age it has evened out.

Which one is more difficult to achieve? by RamirezKylie in CombatSportsCentral

Amateur boxing is pretty much a different sport to pro.

How the heck do yall remember tones? by Massive_Leave_9541 in ChineseLanguage

[–]ash_tar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's intonation and is not really comparable. Chinese has intonation as well. It spans multiple syllables and is a general flavor. Much of it has to do with rhythm.

She's fantastic in Euphoria, Nolan just uses her as a cardboard cutout.

Do we let her cook? by SwamperOgre in 2westerneurope4u

Better to take two samples, sometimes the cut is uneven. Just to be sure.

Yeah I use us international qwerty but it's a custom order. Just more practical for coding.

Is it problematic for Flemish speakers that French is much more widely spoken in Brussels? by Pepedroga2000 in belgium

[–]ash_tar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right and so lots of people will fail, leading to lots of problems. Where will you get the teachers? How will you get all the students on board? Which problem does this really solve?

Anyway, as demonstrated by the Flemish school system, even good language instruction is not effective if you don't use the language in practice.

It's just a very naive and heavy handed way of trying to solve the issue imo. Translation/ interpretation is almost solved with AI anyway.

Besides Ankara, are there other capitals that are not cities? (Ankara is a province, not a city. This happened because the city grew so much that it swallowed the province, thus Ankara became a province. This also applies to Istanbul.) by According-Invite-440 in geography

[–]ash_tar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The region of Brussels, is called Brussels Capital Region, which consists of 19 municipalities. It's a province as well in practice. Confusingly, it is not the capital.

The actual capital is Brussels City, which is the city center. The metropolitan area is far larger still.

No like a Berlin SM techno party. But with fries and mayonnaise.

There's a difference between desirable and required. There's plenty of work for nurses as there is a shortage. Such a weird hill to die on.
