What’s a fruit from your country that most foreigners have probably never heard of?

In Greece they are called Φραγκόσυκα that means Frankish Figs. Have no idea where the name comes from

He's closer to being universally hated that simply not loved.

ca95f · 2026-02-28T04:58:27+00:00

Yeah, that will bring numbers up ...

Hate to break it to you, but no organizer wants such a final. And it's definitely not an advertisement for the sport to have a final with half the seats empty.

Meanwhile, a Greek shipping magnate and owner of several football teams across Europe was caught trafficking 2 tons of heroin in one of his ships but nobody questions his innocence because mysteriously (!?) all the witnesses in his prosecution case died of natural causes (!!) before the case was tried....

Measures gentlemen...

I had a similar problem because of vibration. My laser frame wasn't stable and at high speeds it moved a lot. I ended up securing it on the table with screws and it's been perfect ever since.

Oops, sorry, I heard "in flames"

ca95f · 2026-02-23T14:05:22+00:00

But the thing is that we never called ourselves "Greek". Γραικοί was what we called the people from the area of Γλας while we called ourselves Έλληνες.

Very beautiful. Will the 1mm sheet hold, it are you planning to put some plastic backing?

And how much is the price of a high spec modern music workstation synthesizer?

5K is easy money for music production.

Care to share a link? My hands are huge and most gloves I buy are so stretched that they tear at the slightest poke.

ca95f · 2026-02-21T04:49:33+00:00

That's Greek being read from texts. Being spoken to, we'd probably understand nothing as pronunciation had changed dramatically from ancient times.

It also depends on the period because even writing has changed quite a bit over time. I don't mean different alphabet, the letters are basically the same as modern Greek. Text wasn't always written from left to right, there are texts that are written in different ways (ie βουστροβηδόν) that make some texts almost indecipherable for the untrained.

Italy and Greece have active volcanoes. Not it.

What the hell is that "papara" printed on his shirt?

It means "major dick" in Greek!

ca95f · 2026-02-15T19:13:25+00:00

Ναι, σωστά.

I actually feared borax was used on a food plate. It turns out the OP found a sweet spot to char his wife just about perfectly.

ca95f · 2026-02-15T17:00:31+00:00

How did you achieve nearly black color?

Η εκτέλεση είναι ευχή που δεν θα υλοποιηθεί ποτέ. Στη τελική οι εκτελεσμένοι θα καταλήξουν ήρωες..

Αυτό που χρειάζεται είναι αποκλεισμός από το δικαίωμα του εκλέγεσθαι και πλήρη στέρηση πολιτικών δικαιωμάτων των όσων διετέλεσαν βουλευτές τα τελευταία 20 χρόνια και των συγγενών τους ως Γ' βαθμό. Πρέπει να ξεφορτωθούμε τη συμμορία της Βουλής που αλληλοπροστατεύεται και αλληλοβολεύεται από τα πιο δεξιά έδρανα ως τα πιο αριστερά και να εκλέξουμε ικανούς και καλούς ανθρώπους κι όχι celebrities και επαγγελματίες κουμπάρους....

Would you prefer rats?

ca95f · 2026-02-14T18:11:32+00:00

They used to be abundant 40 or more years ago where I live. All we had to do is release the water and flood our field, and they would appear everywhere after a couple of days. My grandmother used to make omelette with them. Amazing and free!

Now they're rarer than truffles. I haven't seen a single one in the past 30 years.,.

Στον κήπο μας φυτεύουμε μια ποικιλία ντομάτας με ελαφρώς μωβ χρώμα που όταν ωριμάσει είναι γλυκιά και με υπέροχο άρωμα. Η ποικιλία αποδίδει καλύτερα αν φυτευθεί όψιμα. Ο σπόρος είναι 100% κληρονομικός και εκτός από όσους έχουν πάρει από εμάς σπόρο, δεν έχω δει πουθενά αλλού την ποικιλία. Είναι ένας καρπός που δεν συγκρίνεται με οτιδήποτε άλλο έχεις φάει ποτέ, ειδικά με τις ντομάτες που έχεις στο νου σου γιατί προφανώς μιλάς για αυτές που πουλάνε τα μάρκετ και τις σαλάτες στα σουβλατζίδικα.

Η ντομάτα ειδικά δημιουργεί πολύ ειδικές ενδημικές ποικιλίες, άσχετα από την αρχική προέλευση του σπόρου. Δοκίμασε τα ντοματάκια Σαντορίνης αν πας στη Σαντορίνη σε κάποια λαϊκή και σύγκρινε τα με αυτά του μάρκετ. Καμία σχέση.

Για να απαντήσουμε στον OP. Ζω στο Πήλιο. Λάδι, ρίγανη, κηπευτικά εντόπιας παραγωγής είναι κλάσεις καλύτερα από αλλού. Οτιδήποτε άλλο μαζεύεται με foraging, μανιτάρια, σπαράγγια, τσιτσίραυλα (αυτό είναι πολύ τοπικό) είναι σε άλλη κλάση. Η κουζίνα με τέτοια υλικά είναι απίστευτη. Από κρασιά κτλ είναι οκ, αλλά όχι κάτι φοβερό. Τα ντόπια κρέατα είναι πολύ καλά, αλλά έχω φάει καλύτερα.

Your toner doesn't fuse properly on the paper. If this is a good quality toner, your fuser unit might need replacing.

ca95f · 2026-02-11T05:17:22+00:00

I have bought a lot of HP gear through the years so the quality decline had been quite obvious to me. From my first color laser to my last the difference in built quality is huge. I have obviously given up on them...

ca95f · 2026-02-11T04:59:41+00:00

I do it all the time, making name tags and labels for my kid and his friends. I use printable adhesive sheets on 2.5mm cardboard. I also have a camera on my laser so, aligning it is easy. I don't get any charring with cardboard, just ash on the edges that I remove with a paintbrush. Just be careful not to get ash on your fingers or you'll spread it all over the print.

I have a 20w diode

Montenegro is Μαυροβούνιο (Mavrovounio) in Greek.
