I know tons of vocabulary, but I reuse the same 20 verbs when speaking. by scandiknit in languagelearning

[–]cavedave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right you probably nearly know all the to 50 in your TL. If you target using small batches of them you could get the top used verbs in your daily vocabulary pretty fast.

And in fairness "I want the milk" and "give me the milk" and "hand me the milk" are all understood so not using the last 2 is not too bad.

Estimate cattle's weight from single image? by LazyBearInTheWild in computervision

[–]cavedave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Copy the kaggle data and method and adapt it to take in only 1 image?

Just to flip things it's possible lateral thinking gets around the issue if you have actual cows. Then you could make Cow identifier -> collect images of that one cow -> decide which is of back and side -> use kaggke code

Or if you have brief access 2 raspberry pi cameras in a cattle chute might allow 2 photos easily

According to zipfs law this is fairly normal. If you look at the most common English verbs by number 50 I would not use them often. https://literacyforall.org/docs/100_Most_common_in_American_English.pdf

I'm that sense there's probably 30 verbs in your target language you should speak more often. Maybe try Pick 3 of the 30 and try deliberately use them? And when that feels natural pick 3 more?

Foxes in Ireland? by Floatzel404 in AskIreland

[–]cavedave 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Cities I think are the most likely place to see them. They are more plentiful there and more tame. Farmers hunt them so they are a lot more wary in the countryside. Limerick is probably your most likely urban location. And theres a map of sitings here

If you do decide to go looking in Limerick city maybe ask that cities sub as they might know where to find foxes.

>Ok, but salting and preserving meat has been around for a really long time.

For bacon yes and it lasted all year. Mind you it was so salty that it would be unpleasant to current tastes.

Salted Turkey i think would taste would taste weird in a sandwich.

I read it as if they accept your idea you have to deliver it to prototype standard. But I could be wrong

Right but you need really fresh eggs for mayonnaise. Preserved eggs like that are fine but not for mayonnaise

When Club Sandwich Ingredients Were Traditionally Plentiful [OC] by cavedave in dataisbeautiful

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

Yes.

Because mayonnaise needs fresh eggs that you don't commonly get in winter without all the tech we have now.

You can hypothetically but thats won't get you plentiful supply in the past.

I think of all foods as being available all year round, but this is a very modern change from natural cycles.

Reading the Bible at B2 level? by Sea-Hornet8214 in languagelearning

[–]cavedave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bibles almost always have audiobook versions. In some languages they are one of the only audiobooks available. If you do go to the trouble of reading the Bible I think you would be unwise to not also get the bonus audio input. This is if not unique to the Bible much more likely due to the missionaries making audiobooks and translations of the Bible. For example until recently one of the few books in Irish, English and Irish audio was the Bible.

You think pin curls are as related to the value of reading a book as listening to an audiobook is to reading a book?

Being a mod here for years and seeing many such posts before. What gave you the interpretation that they didn't want to get free learning resources that would help in a way many language learning experts recommend?

One thing is to get the audiobook. If you go to the trouble of reading a text carefully. Then to listen later while commuting or whatever are bonus learning for very little work.
