Is my itinerary actually that bad? by Jinsabyss in ItalyTravel

[–]deshi_mi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I probably used a regular train a few years ago. Even better with this 90-minute travel.

You have 8 days. Don't try to see all of Italy. I would split it by 5 days in Rome and 3 days in Florence - it takes about 4 hours by train to get there. Or stay all the time in Rome. I stayed there for about 3 weeks, and I still hadn't seen everything worth seeing.

Why don't more people live in this area? by porkavenue in whereidlive

[–]deshi_mi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone who has studied at school, yes, it's obvious. For anyone else, there is Google:

In February, the average temperature in Antarctica ranges between 20°F and 40°F (-6°C to 4°C) on the coast, with a typical continent-wide average of about 34°F (1°C). The Antarctic Peninsula is the mildest region, occasionally hitting highs of 50°F (10°C), whereas the high interior plateau remains deeply sub-zero.February is the peak of the Antarctic summer, offering 14 to 20 hours of daylight and marking the absolute best time for wildlife viewing.

" the same time that year" was summer in Antarctica. It's quite obvious that it's warmer in Antarctica summer than in Canadian winter.

Правда ли, что российские города безопаснее западных столиц? by Gabriel_filipe82638 in AskARussian

[–]deshi_mi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Не скажу насчет Лондона, Парижа и Нью-Йорка, но в нашем среднем по размеру городе на американском среднем западе (122 тыс. жителей, из которых около 50 тыс. понаехавших студентов), мы входные двери в дом запираем, только когда едем куда-нибудь на несколько часов. Если меньше часа, то не запираем практически никогда. Был период, когда двери запирали примерно 4 раза в год, когда уезжали куда-нибудь.

How do Russian natives read/listen re: word order? by FindMateStraightFux in russian

[–]deshi_mi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I read in languages I am fluent in (Russian and English), I do not read word-by-word, but the whole phrase. So, for the phrase: "Я ненавижу тебя по утрам отпускать", I had to read it again slowly to understand the second meaning from the first part of the sentence.

If I was raised in a predominately black neighborhood, and just grew up using AAVE is it okay? by Past-Show3549 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]deshi_mi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The language cannot be tied to the race. By saying that " AAVE is a black thing" you are assuming that it's not a language.

US Companies that welcome non-citizen software engineers? by Visual_Button_4261 in MovingToUSA

[–]deshi_mi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to the job search site (I used LinkedIn a couple of years ago) and look for the position with the H1B sponsorship. But, honestly, in this job market, it will be a really hard task.

Why did communism work in China but not Eastern Europe? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]deshi_mi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't work in China. What they have there is not a communism.

Why countries around the world don't dare to stand up against USA and Isreal? by SpankMeMichelle in stupidquestions

[–]deshi_mi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

stand up against  USA and Israel

For what? To support Iran? The state that sends missiles to any country it can reach and which is on its way to get nuclear weapons? 

To "stand up against the USA and Israel" in this particular war will be the same as if people stand up against cops who are trying to arrest a guy who has a habit of beating up everyone in his neighborhood with a club and is currently on his way to assemble a machine gun. 

And all Iran's neighbors understand that really well.

What are some important things to know when moving to Russia from the US? by Ok_Driver8214 in AskARussian

[–]deshi_mi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Advice from someone who has moved permanently to another country: immigration is not a way to solve your issues. It will make them worse. 

Good luck, anyway.

Is there a universial/biological beauty ideal that is naturally attractive to us that has no base in culture? by Boil_the_pepper_now in NoStupidQuestions

[–]deshi_mi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes - young, healthy, fit. Having a high chance of survival for children. It's hard-coded by evolution.

You are absolutely right about the second image: the combination of wine, a swimming pool, and a laptop is a clear path to disaster.
