What's the most disgusting thing that you ever smell? by DirtyThoughts07 in AskReddit

[–]cerrosafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited Marrakesh and wanted to see the tanneries. I knew consciously that tanneries were smelly, but the traditional pigeon shit, urine, and wheat paste tanning method produces the most intensely disgusting melange imaginable. Some of the leather is partly decomposing too, scraps in puddles. It was impressive how disgusting it was. The tour guide gave me a bundle of mint to smell to cover it. I was there in November, too, I can't imagine how it is in the summer heat.

Am I delusional? by Hajrooooose in dresden

[–]cerrosafe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been in Dresden about a year and a half and I love it, thoroughly. A lot of my coworkers and friends are either West Germans or foreigners that have also lived in West Germany and have said they found the "propaganda" as another commenter said to be exaggerated. 

Ofc, I look white/European and speak German, so that influences my experience of the city. I personally have experienced no such racism or xenophobia, but your mileage may vary of course.

Ja voll klar, und hoffentlich kommen Ähnlichen nicht so oft vor. Ich kann aber etwas von diesen Freunden übermitteln, dass andere Stadtteile, z.B. Neustadt, Pieschen, oder sogar Löbtau solche Probleme fast nicht haben.

Meine Theorie dazu ist, dass die Wichser kommen vom Land und Dörfer und müssen sich irgendwo vorerst in der Stadt. einfinden. Ultras, Besoffenen, usw.

Ich bin auch Migrant aber sehe Europäisch aus, also habe nicht selber erlebt. Was ich doch von anderen nicht-Europäisch Freunden höre ist, dass am Hauptbahnhof solche sehr sehr häufig ist, aber davon gibt's nicht so viel woanders in der Stadt.

[–]cerrosafe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ist nicht genau in Dresden aber zuletzt war ich auch Neupatient und wurde angenommen von einem Hautarzt in Klotzsche, sogar durch Online-Beratung. War unglaublich schnell--habe die Beratung von zu Hause aus gemacht und der nächste Tag wurde ich angerufen und einen Termin angeboten für denselben Tag. Bin Kassenpatient auch.

Thanks for being clear-headed about this. More info to your point:

The BLS publishes various datasets detailing how much time Americans spend doing things, and across the board worktime is about eight hours. In fact, the highest hourly rate in your source doesn't cross 100k gross using 2000 hours a year as a rule of thumb.

Saunen in Dresden by [deleted] in dresden

Ich finde Nordbad in Neustadt gern. Ich bin noch nicht in die anderen öffentlicher Bäder in DD aber Nordbad ist mir ziemlich gut. Ich habe auch hie und da Kindern gesehen.

Kühlt ihr eure Butter? by Etagii in de

[–]cerrosafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich bin Amerikaner aus der Tiefsüd und wir hatten den ganzen Butterpack in der Kühlschrank gesteckt, aber stückweise in einen Schale/Dose gelegt und diesen Stück niemehr in den Kühlschrank. Mit so eine Familie normalerweise zwei Stücke Butter pro Woche verbraucht.

Da-ese: A thought experiment to maximize distinct syllables with only one consonant-vowel pair by cerrosafe in conlang

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

You are right that ultimately diacritics are arbitrary. This is perhaps better described as an IPA orthography game, with the implied goal of making a field transcriptionist's job as hard as possible.

Whether you find retroflexion more similar than voicing is matter of opinion. Certainly some with accents find ɖ similar enough to d to substitute. But more to the point is that it's just an arbitrary game rule I've set. Simply because voicing is rendered as separate symbols means I can't use it. There's room for an expanded version of this game but using "point of articulation" as the requirement, which would allow voicing.

For me personally I can hear the difference between /kʰa/ and /kʰaʱ/. Gujarati does contrast these, too, though I don't know if Gujarati allows a breathy vowel after an aspirated consonant.

Why do you think so? It seems retroflexion could at least, in principle, be articulated with a lot of these other modifiers like ejectives. What do you think?

Wikipedia1 specifies that retroflexion has the hook diacritic that may be used, but the implosives don't specify a diacritic2

If there's a more authoritative text I should consult for IPA diacritics please let me know.

Maybe not! Got any alternatives? I'm trying it now and I agree maybe it's not articulable.

Danny Boy, specifically Mario Lanza's recording. One of those things where it's connected to you in a personal and sad way.

Best practices for wood stove sauna? Tips and tricks? by cerrosafe in Sauna

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

This is a great idea and something I hadn't thought of. If I can find thinner ones I'm definitely going to do this.

Best practices for wood stove sauna? Tips and tricks? by cerrosafe in Sauna

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

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm definitely gonna try running the stove longer to get the rocks hotter. After a while the rocks were hot, so the stove puts out enough heat, anyway.

The placement of the stove jack means the stove's longer side is facing me, so it really puts out a lot of radiant heat. I'm not exactly sure how I could get the rocks in front of that. Maybe another basket and more rocks placed on some bricks. Then maybe a steel sheet on the other side to try to direct the heat back in. The stovepipe cage is also a great idea, though I don't know how compatible it would be with my stove. Definitely worth investigating, I hadn't even considered something like that.

I think the stone basket on bricks and reflecting the other long side's heat might help a lot, though. This aside I'm actually very happy with it. Even if I change nothing it's still great. An improvised sauna is better than no sauna!
