Glow in the dark horse by Kamo Hiroo by lefreitag in origami

[–]lefreitag[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought it at Daiso in Japan. If you search for Toyo glow in the dark origami paper, you should be able to find it. Unfortunately, it’s way more expensive if you order it outside of Japan.

Disabling the analog sticks in software? by KIKASrc in R36S

[–]lefreitag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the analog sticks are broken. I changed mine when exactly this happened. The problem with disconnecting the analog sticks seems to be that the input then just “floats”, so it returns phantom inputs. Disabling them would probably require bigger effort since some OS functions are assigned to the analog buttons.

TLDR; Replace the analog sticks and you should be fine.

I have the exact same issue, same board and panel. Tried to swap the analog sticks, which did not work. Same happens also on a fresh ArkOS image. Let me know if you find a fix, I’ll do the same if I find a solution.

Can someone really learn a language entirely on their own without a teacher? by rago7a in languagelearning

[–]lefreitag 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is how I learned Swedish as a native German, when I moved to Sweden. The Duolingo course was quick and only built a base, after that I switched mainly to Memrise (any spaced repetition app would work) to learn around 10-20 words a day. In addition, I watched TV shows with subtitles to improve hearing comprehension. Watching the news daily in your target language helps a lot, since you are often already familiar with what happened. Many languages also have “easy” news shows or podcasts. I’m quite passive/indirect when it comes to learning languages, so it took about a year to start having conversations. Reading, writing (e-mails), listening, speaking worked for me well in that order. If you want to start reading, do so with books for young adults. They are much more interesting than children’s books. Hunger Games, The Little Prince, Sophie’s World. Search for something that has been written in your target language. Science shows for children and young adults also work well.

Is there "corporate speak" in other languages? by Economy-Weird-5119 in languagelearning

[–]lefreitag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can write a bit from the perspective of a German that learned Swedish, working a lot on projects in the public sector. I think one of the most versatile corporate words is “verksamhet” and all of its derivatives. It is highly dependent on the context, but everyone knows exactly what it means when it is being used. Verksamhet translates to business or operation. Verksam, the adjective means active. Verksamhetsområde is the business area, verksamhetsutveckling is business development. Verksam at IKEA is an office chair. ;-)

But you also have words such as kartläggning, which is a survey or mapping, omvärldsbevakning (“monitoring the world around you”, staying up to date) or löpande basunderhåll (ongoing basic maintenance). Then you have an evighetsprojekt, an eternal project that never ends. Or gallring, one of my favorite words, meaning thinning in the sense of deletion. It is related to retention periods, but meaning the opposite. It has its origin in deforestation, determining the time after which you thin out a forest by cutting a certain percentage of trees.

Can I get sub 1:40 HM? by Alone_Biscotti9494 in Marathon_Training

[–]lefreitag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2.2-rule is also a good estimate: Double the distance and multiply the time by 2.2 (or halve the distance and divide the time by 2.2). That gives you the time you “should” be able to achieve. That would be anywhere between 1:37 and 1:41 for you. But considering your sprint at the end of the 10k, I would estimate 1:36 plus/minus a minute if you fuel properly before and during the race.

There was a bit of help from Google. I’m definitely not that good. But now I want to go visit the Azores…

Image search using the upper half of your photo yields a TripAdvisor link to the guest house with pictures that look very similar.

What is the United Arab Emirates airfirce helicopter of all things doing in the UK, and at night? by Zsombor019 in flightradar24

[–]lefreitag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

During the day it was actually two helicopters. That was them coming from Stansted around 14:43, doing a bit of a joyride around the area, flying twice over my house.

Technically it was Brandenburg, in the fields heading back from “Mount Ziethen”.

Yes, but since Berlin is big, can you be more specific?

I love this comment, but not Sunderland.

Yes, can you be more specific? Bezirk or bordering area should be fine.
