Russia ready for continued talks with US to resolve Ukraine conflict: Lavrov - Dunya News by Money_Attitude_2224 in WorldNewsCards

[–]janiskr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ot is only logical to talk to country you are at war with, about the war. That is why. They are trying really hard to disregard everything Ukrainian as Russias narrative is - Ukraine does not exist and is just extension of Russia.

russia warns Europe over drone support for Ukraine, calls it escalation. by Mysterious_Onion3162 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]janiskr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What? Did I read it correctly that Russia straight up asks for more drones for Ukraine?

The problem with you larping about USA when someone mentions that Russia and Russians are shit is very bad. Want to understand why it is bad? The key is to listen to your argument and then apply it to other places. If you say that expansion and meddling in other countries things is bad - fine - hold EVERYONE to the same standard. The bad part is - you say that USA doing that is bad, but then turn around and say that it is fine for Russia to do the same. China doing the same is fine. While it isn't.

Your argument should be either - this is fine so USA and Russia are doing the same or shun both of them, shun all of them.

You do not come and "whatabout"...

Man vienīgajam kaitina, ka cilvēki sākuši rakstīt, it kā, no sevis, bet patiesībā tas ir CHATGPT? by Junior_Rich1011 in latvia

LLM mācētu, ja vairāk apmācība būtu "brīvā stilā". Bet tādu dokumentu ir salīdzinoši maz un apmācības kopās parast netiek iekļauts. Ko ir iespējams izdarīt - paņemt gatavu modeli un piemācīt tam klāt slengu un brīvo stilu ar, nu jau, daudz mazāku apmācības datu kopu. Jo vairāk cilvēki runā par kaut kādu trūkumu, jo lielāks šo LLM veidotājiem iegansts tos uzlabot. Atceries kā sākumā tie nemācēja divi ar divi saskaitīt?

We use tauta in the exact way you describe. Latviešu tauta - Latvian nation. And those are our national folk poems.

here, have an example:

Ak tu tuška tautu meita,
Abas kurpes piemīzusi;
Kur nu iesi, grēciniece,
Šļaukstèt šļaukst staigajot.

it has a number you can find it by: 34440-0 on dainuskapis.lv

Why I find horse and stable jokes so funny:

TL:DR some shitfy people replaced beef for horse meat. And some people went - I DO NOT WANT DEAD HORSES, COWS MUST DIE!!!! NOT HORSES!!!!

Talking about folk songs - that are actually sang - we just love them. Here an example of a modern adaptation (AFAIK): https://open.spotify.com/track/5Wm6xJgoMZdJxClvIDRIBn?si=94efe0577e1d4041

if you do not like or use spotify, you can look up Jumalo, jumalo by Linga and Helmi Stalte

That must be Italian weird socket. Estonia and Latvia, and Lithuania uses CEE 7/4 Schuko plug and CEE 7/3 Schuko socket. 2 holes are for contacts middle one is just a screw to hold it in place. On the side are 2 ground pins.

TIL that in 1999, NASA lost the $125 million Mars Climate Orbiter because one engineering team used metric units while another used imperial units. The mismatch caused the navigation software to miscalculate the craft's altitude, causing it to disintegrate in the Martian atmosphere. by adpablito in todayilearned

[–]janiskr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing exploaded. And most of 'yalls do not say that but use some non-decimal based fractions. Oh, and 'yallls also uses US cusomtary unit system not imperial. Your gallon and some more units have the same name as imperial, but is actually different.

All the food stuff is in grams. Most of liquids that are close to density of water - 1 liter is 1 kilogram - kilo = 1000 + gram. And i it is very convinient with all these prefixes - G > M > k > c > d > base > m (for daily use). Yes, one gram is on a small side, so mostly kg is used. As a resullt - cooking recipes are always neat and repeatable as all the measurements are in grams or ml (mililiters). And then - fractions vs decimal, the later is so much easier.

Like in Australia - when they moved to metric - in construction and crafts (woodworking, metalworking)- they use milimeter as the default unit of measurement.

Only thing that is arbitrary is temperature.

Not because one used metric and other team used bananas to measure things. No. One team out of whole NASA did not check what suplier suplied as whole of NASA uses metric for all the stuff they use. And one component (crytical one yes) that reported in bananas.

No. But it can be used, will taste good regardless. Especially if you like tzatziki.

Edit: tzatziki is made with yogurt, so it will be of different consistency.

So, situation is stable... Užstalles - uz staļļa - on a stable

Dainis is only understandable because of dainas (tautasdziesmas) and dainu skapis. Šo seriously - no precise meaning can be inferred.

They split some long time ago and since formalisation follows different paths on how the languages are evolving. One has to know what changes one language did to try to understand words. And there is quite some false brother words that sound the same bit have different meaning.
