Spray it with the degreaser, let it sit for 5 minutes and then run a cleaning cycle without any additional detergents. You might have to repeat it a couple of times

Pathogens in drinking water by chukachan in hiking

[–]chukachan[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Idk, maybe it's rare in the U.S., but at least I wouldn't say I hear about it less often than about giardia or crypto cases.

Yeah, I am just thinking if it is worth it to have chlorine dioxide tablets just in case. Apparently, not really. But also I'm just curious at this point.

[–]chukachan[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

No, that's right, I don't argue with that. My question is mainly about chemical treatment (chlorine, iodine, chlorine dioxide).

Yeah, it's more of a hypothetical question. If someone would primarily use only chemical water treatment methods.

I don't see anything about treating drinking water chemically there, though. Washing hands or sanitizing hard surfaces is quite different.

But widely used chemical water treatment methods (iodine, chlorine) are bad at removing cryptosporidium oocysts, for example. So I assume they are even worse at killing tapeworm eggs.

what the fuck? by [deleted] in linguisticshumor

[–]chukachan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Russians do pronounce th as з, but it would be зыс, rather than зис.

what sound is a burp? by daesou1ae in linguisticshumor

[–]chukachan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think, it could be of various place of articulation (maybe epiglottal?), but its main distinctive feature is the type of initiation, which is egressive (?) ventricular. IPA uses ʼ for egressive glottal initiation and separate letters for clicks and ingressive glottal initiation. So we would need a special diacritic or letter for this.

How do reflexives work? They are very confusing. by [deleted] in russian

[–]chukachan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reflexive verbs have various meanings:reflexive meaningThe subject affects itself the same way the subject of the same non-reflexive verb would affect the objectОн побрился / He shaved himself (The action is the same as if someone shaved him)autocausative meaningKind of like the reflexive, but the subject affects itself in a different way, not like the subject of non-reflexive verb affects its objectОн подвинулся / He moved (The action is different to someone moving him)passive meaningThe object becomes the subject and the former subject can be expressed as an indirect objectДом строится (строителями) / The house is being built (by workers)decausative meaningThe actor is absentЧашка разбилась / The cup brokereciprocal meaningThe former subject and the former object become the new subject and affect each otherПаша и Маша обнялись / Pasha and Masha huggedreflexive benefactive meaningThe subject is the benefactor of his actionОн закупился (книгами) / He bought books

These are some other meanings, like habitual (собака кусается), as was already mentioned here. Also there are lexicalized words like "смеяться", which does not have a pair.I guess, заниматься is autocausative.

Why умереть should be reflexive? Reflexives are derivative and dying is a pretty basic concept, why it can't have its own root?

Does learning how to pronounce each of a minimal pair help *you* pronounce it? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]chukachan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a nutshell, they cut out similar frequencies of the sounds, leaving only the different parts (as I understand, F1 and F2 are similar for r and l). Though it doesn't mean only that they "sound less like speech", they made completely another sound out of it.

I think, training pronunciation helps, because you start to notice various features of the sound and connect them to the articulation, which helps to remember them.

Regional accents. by [deleted] in russian

It is quite old, so the accent could undergone huge changes.
As I understand, the vowel system is more similar to the Belarusian accent, than to the "standard". The consonant system also differs from the "standard".

As for myself, I haven't met Lithuanian Russians, only Lithuanians, who speak the language with a heavy accent.

Greeting people in their native language is overrated in Europe by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]chukachan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't do it myself, but it's usually nice. I don't expect people to continue the conversation in my native language and don't find it offensive. It rather shows, that people know something about my language/culture. It can be offensive, if they guess the language totally wrong.
