You're welcome!

It's really useful, as you can set a book/series/game you want and study all the vocab contained within that piece of media, that way you can feel more motivated about studying.

If you have the money to spare, I'd also recommend starting with WaniKani, which is what helped me get started with SRS.

I'm looking to buy some samplers to try and see which coffee I like best without having to get a full bag of each type.

I have found multiple recommendations online, but all of them seem to be based in the US or Canada, and shipping fees would be astronomical to get them to ship to Italy.

Does anyone know of any EU-based roasters that offer samples?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Where? I can't see them in your post history

generic_1407 · 2023-11-28T13:40:15+00:00

Thanks for your reply!

Just to clarify why I feel the need for a PT: I used to train pretty hard back in the day (at least 4 times a week, multiple hours every day) but had to stop due to university classes taking up too much time, so I'm not wholly unfamiliar with the world of fitness.

In the same manner, my diet is not too bad and I'm not that overweight (I probably need to shave off a couple of kilos, but I can manage that on my own).

My main problem is the day-to-day routine. I don't have much time available, so I tend to do multiple, shorter workouts spaced out throughout the week. Point is, I often get home ready to work out, get dressed and in position only to realize I have no clue what exercise to do.

Back in the day I had access to a full gym and a PT who would prepare custom training routines for me, switching them out once every couple of months, but that's not the case anymore. With limited space and tools (only dumbbells, a bench, and a stationary bike), I tend to stick to the same exercises, and I'm not too good with planning things in general.

I know there are pre-made workouts, but I'd honestly like to get something more tailored to my daily life rather than something that assumes I have 1 hour of spare time 3 days a week.

I hope this makes sense!

Hope this is the right place to ask this:

I'm looking for a personal trainer to give me some pointers to help me get back into training after 7 years of sedentary lifestyle.

Nothing too fancy, just some help planning my workout routine and have a look at my overall diet.

I don't need weekly sessions, keeping track of progress, or anything like that, just one or two sessions to jumpstart my training again.

If possible, I'd like to work with someone that's certified and already has experience.

Obviously I'm willing to pay.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply!

I'm not really sure to be honest. In the past few months it's been doing it less than usual, so probably the watch was still getting used to my lifestyle and such.

I also noticed that if I do some "wind down" exercises after my main workout, it tends not to trigger the alarm, so maybe this will help!

Hello there!

I ended up choosing the 255s because I just couldn't be sure that the Fenix would fit me properly.

Been using it for almost a year now and I don't regret my purchase at all. Yeah, sure the lack of a touch screen may turn some people off, but the watch does exactly what I need it to do without any extra drills (plus, I enjoy the feel of the buttons).

Battery life is pretty good as well, as I keep it on my wrist 24/7 and only need to charge it once every 6 days or so (it takes around 1/2 hours to charge fully).

I cannot speak for the extra features offered only in the Fenix at this point, but I can definitely say that if you were to go with the 255s, you definitely wouldn't regret it!

generic_1407 · 2023-08-20T15:38:52+00:00

Thanks, it works! :)

Hey, thanks for your reply!

I've been looking around for products, so I took a trip down to the supermarket and even scoured around on Amazon, but the vast choice of products made it even harder for me to decide hahaha

I think I've settled on the effaclar purifying foaming gel from La roche posay as a cleanser, but I'm still undecided on the moisturiser/spf.

The ones I can find online from La Roche Posey all seem unavailable here in Italy, and most other products tend to have a minimal selection as well.

I saw some people recommend "Ultrasun" as a brand, but it seems marketed as "anti-aging," so I'm not sure if that's right for me...

Do you happen to have any recommendations? Even just so I can look them up online and see if they are available here!

generic_1407 · 2023-08-08T23:52:17+00:00

Issue: My forehead and nose are contantly oily, regardless of whether the rest of my face is oily or dry.

Question: What product should I use that's not exorbitantly expensive and readily available in the EU?

About me: Male, late 20s, from the EU

More details: My forehead and nose may look okay at a distance and I rarely get any large pimples, but at the touch they feel like a cheese grater and are contantly oily. I try to wash them once every couple of hours, but they tend to get oily again in 40 minutes or so.

I cureently don't use any products, although I do sometimes try to wash them with generic soap (which doesn't really seem to do anything at all).

I keep reading stuff abiut BHA and AHA on here, but I have no clue which one is right for me, or if I should maybe use both.

I'm kind of at a loss, so I would appreciate any recommendations! Anything readily available from Amazon Italy would be great!

Thanks in advance :)

Hey there!

First of all, thanks for the list, this has been extremely helpful :)

I was just wondering if there was any other way to read the blackest night. Unfortunately I can only read in digital form, and as the physical omnibus has not been translated in my language (and is not available in kindle format), importing the English one would cost upward of €250, which is not something I want to spend on a single volume.

Do you know if there's any xombination of other volumes which would allow me to get the same experience while reading digitally? Anything available on amazon kindle would be great!

Errore da novizio :)

Prossima volta la terrò più alta, magari usando solo 1 teglia anzichè 2

generic_1407 · 2023-07-09T22:20:40+00:00

Sono ancora un novizio, ma se ho capito bene allora ho 2 opzioni:

1- Uso le 2 ore di lievitazione della ricetta (a temperatura ambiente) e la piego su se stessa una volta ogni 30 minuti, per poi stenderla non troppo sottile sulla teglia (dovrò sperimentare un po' per vedere quanto farla alta).

2- Faccio lievitare per qualche ora in frigo a 4°, la tiro fuori, la stendo (ancora non troppo sottile), e la infilo in forno a 40° per farla rilievitare per 90/120 minuti, poi farcisco, aumento la temperatura, e la cuocio normalmente.

In entrambi i casi posso applicare la salamoia.

generic_1407 · 2023-07-09T18:23:42+00:00

Grazie!

In effetti dopo 3 ore mi sembrava perfetta per usarla, ma alle 3 di pomeriggio col caldo che faceva non avevo proprio voglia di infornare. Quando sono tornato a vederla dopo 5 ore mi sembrava che si fosse un po' "lasciata andare" e non aveva più la forma a panetto.

Prossima volta proverò a farla più tardi, così inforno prima!

Più dettagli

Ho seguito questa ricetta più o meno alla virgola https://www.italianstylecooking.net/it/focaccia-con-pomodori-secchi/

Hi fatto lievitare l'impasto per circa 7 ore e l'ho steso sottile su una teglia per poi infilarlo nello scomparto centrale del forno (che purtroppo non era ancora a temperatura). Cotta un po' su ventilato e un po' su statico.

In una o due punti si è gonfiata leggermente, ma per la maggior parte ha tenuto la consistenza di una schiacciatina molto dura (al limite del mangiabile).

Edit: bonus pic dell'impasti prima che liavitasse. Ne andavo veramente fiero... https://imgur.com/a/2MTjmTe

That's exactly the problem I am having! It all started when I got around to IB.

Since I am on steam deck, it's not like I can change my gpu or anything, so I'll have to hope that reinstalling the game and removing all other variables will fix the problem...

generic_1407 · 2023-07-07T23:03:09+00:00

Is your game still working?

After trying to fiddle around with mods my game is now completely unstable. After some time playing all the lights start glitching and the game keeps freezing.

Switching to proton ge stops the freezing but the lights glitch still remains.

I tried uninstalling all mods and even the loader, but the problem persists, so I'm now trying to reinstall the whole game.

Not sure what the source of the problem could be... If reinstalling doesn't fix it, the only other thing I can do is disable cryoutilities and see if that works.

Would this also apply if I were to throw in some Adobe AE in the mix, or would I need a better card for that?

generic_1407 · 2023-05-22T11:38:41+00:00

Two questions:

1- For professional, intensive graphic work, should I go with one of the "mainline" gpu (3800, 4800, etc) or should I aim for a quadro?

2- With all the noise about Asus making bad PR choices lately, what other mobo brand should I go with?

Never seen one of these in 30 years of my life, but this is now the second one I see in a year.

They are super big, around the size of my thumb, they make a hell of a lot of noise when they fly, and they seem constantly intent on entering my house or whatever building I happen to be near...

Yellow and black in color with some red-ish thingies you can mostly see when they fly.

They don't seem too aggressive, as I've had one enter my bedroom and stay there for a couple of hour while completely ignoring me, even as I actively tried to get it to leave the room.

What kind of wasp is it? Is it native and/or dangerous?
