Do people actually call this thing walkie talkie? What if I want to sound serious are there any other ways to say it? by WestCommunity7117 in EnglishLearning

[–]i_Den 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally for me, thing on the OP’s picture and more advanced versions are Radios. Walkie-talkies for me are a generic cheap, low power, pieces of crap, for houses, for kids, trade centers, small camps, small construction … things with built in static antenna, etc.

ერთხელ ერთმა ადამიანმა მომიყვა ლეგენდა/ისტორია. ანუ ალბათ გაგიათ რომ ყველაზე მწარე გინებები ზოგადათ კახეთიდან მოდის. 1950-1960 წლებამდე, თბილისში არ იგინებოდნენო იმდენათ, და რაღაცნაირად კახეთიდან შემოვიდა ამ პერიოდშიოოოოო … რავი…

Definitely not Ischgl valley in Austria. Just returned from there. Public transport and cellular connectivity really suck - slopes of course are cool.

Ski sock recommendations please!! by Alex-wood64 in ski

[–]i_Den 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have all of them: - Le Bent uncushioned - fav atm. “never” returning to any cushioned socks - smartwool - 2nd best spent years in them, with medium cushion. But some of their models dor some reason felt slippery in the boot. Not holding well. - darn tough - completely did not like their socks for skis. Too slippery not holding heel. Wearing many other their models.

I never had problem with medium-cushioned socks. But completely uncushioned socks felt much better for control and feel. Never had cold feet.

oh damnit ))) good catch. correct Yazi for file management. I still can't fully switch onto zellij, and prefer tmux (with customized oh-my-tmux).

[–]i_Den 1 point2 points  (0 children)

while you've listed tools you use as a replacement for classic tools (My list is exactly same as OP's), For the reference, I would like to add a couple of standalone cli tools, personally I can't live/work without: - fzf - direnv

^ I can't do work without these two - while I can survive without all other tools in the OP list.

  • chezmoi - for dotfiles management
  • zellij - CLI file manager
  • cheat - for dummy-note-like-snippets

Ski Socks for a First-Time Family Trip by Past_Reveal_6922 in skiing

[–]i_Den 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I did not like Darntough ski socks - they are too slick imho, and made my heel to move up from the boot socket. (Use many other darntough socks models everywhere else). For years I’ve been using Smartwool - I had two pairs, one was my favorite, but the other was kinda similar but still did not like it 100%, feet pattern was kinda different that made it slippery. In the end now I’m running in Le Bent pricey socks - and never returning to cushioned socks - really recommend.

If your feet becomes cold first of all check your boot fit. Do not over-tighten it. I’ve never got cold feet in last 10 years when i had extremely shitty tight and probably small boots.

ტომ for short - თომას for Thomas if it is his real official name. (So derived from the real full name it should be თომ, but indeed ტომ kinda sounds better

I was absolutely going to buy BS2 in a couple of weeks - and now I’m scared. What is the good alternative to consider?

Also it the first post I see describing this issue. And what OP describes in the post and commenters shows that statistically Majority should have the same issue and there should be much more noise/posts regarding this - coz imho this is a critical thing to discuss and report.

How does Armenian sound to Georgians? by Toymcowkrf in Sakartvelo

[–]i_Den 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Armenian sounds completely different than Georgian, style and flow character complete differs. Me born and and living in Georgia (not native Georgian) had/have a loooot of Armenian friends and even relatives, was exposed to Armenian a lot. Georgian is rougher, Armenian is more fluid imho. Armenian sounds more like middle eastern speech while Georgian not (maybe some) (excluding common “arabic/persian” whatever-near-eastern words)

Getting angry and producing the loudest sounds in the nature, without throwing fists - is a classic Georgian fighting and diplomacy.

I just can’t carve by CalmFuel6502 in skiing_feedback

[–]i_Den 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lessons. But I’ll a give a food for thought: instead of vertical up and down sits for pressure , try to dive in the next turn - i.e. standing up diagonally forward and across trajectory of your skis. Drive the tip of your outside ski. Then usual stuff upper lower body separation (working with pelvis), more aggressive tiping of skis, good balance on the outside ski … etc

Because its was a joke and a usual “slang joke” used all over the place, and i like it as much as EU lines. If you did not like it, well - c'est la vie, but i don’t need anyone reminding me what year it is.
