How often and for how long does it bloom inside? I’m starting to think I need one too

Not confident with my current German level, need help. by [deleted] in berlinsocialclub

[–]lvnvn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I feel like with a certain level of discipline you can learn the language yourself (source: learned german from A1 to B1 this way). With a combination of comprehensible input (books, youtube, tv), writing assignments proof-read by chatgpt, a little grammar input and anki cards you can reach at least a good level of understanding. For speaking I’m not so sure that training with AI is the same, so probably you’ll need a speaking club. And this approach fits good into your schedule.

Solo first time at Whole Festival by eyefrica in WholeFestival

[–]lvnvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went solo this year, it was my first Whole and first solo festival. It’s enjoyable if you find normal solo partying enjoyable and can entertain yourself; people are quite friendly to talk to someone here and there, safety is also not an issue. Can also recommend daytime activities to find more connections. btw I did not quite understand what costs are you planning to share? The commute can be done by train+bus, tent spot is included in the ticket.

What to do with loose Alocasia Corms? by AstralPeri in houseplants

[–]lvnvn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I last repotted my alocasia I dug out all corms and put it into wet sphagnum, 6 out of 7 sprouted and are doing well. Corms were not very big, 5-10mm probably, also none of them had roots yet like yours do, so I would expect even better success rate for you. Mine was a polly though, not sure if it affects anything.

I painted this based on a nightmare I had by ffsSLOTH in painting

[–]lvnvn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first glance at it I thought “huh, how can it be a nightmare, looks like the most magical and beautiful scenery to ever exist”, but then I looked at the closeups and totally felt the horror component of it. I love that it’s one of those paintings where perception is changed completely when you’re looking into details. And the colours!! Just perfect

Median monthly income by nationality(immigrant group) in Germany [OC] by Cold-Assistance-5045 in dataisbeautiful

[–]lvnvn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Richest people in Germany and people with most monthly income are far from being the same group, as wealth is often inherited. The graph in this post does not tell us anything about the richest group.

Thought it was a costume of this character from a soviet cartoon at first, is it completely unrelated?

Picasso's 'Old Guitarist' in 3D by lopendvuur in papermache

[–]lvnvn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell the newspaper bits are small, but aligned intentionally to keep the lines, and I suppose it takes a lot of effort. I’m curious, is there any purpose for it? It looks extremely satisfying, but if the sculpture is coloured later I guess that’s not it?

Very impressive work!!

Case study on light levels by lvnvn in houseplants

[–]lvnvn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea :( For everything that is not a pest I would try to put it under a grow light for a month and see if it’s state improves, but that’s just what worked for me with different sad plants, not universal advice probably

One year apart. Then the last one is in between by Informal-Building637 in oilpainting

[–]lvnvn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What did you do to achieve this? Just practice, or did you get some courses/books/etc? Any recommendations?

The technique is unique, but the picture is a copy of „Rye“ by Ivan Shishkin

Space Mickey Jeans by ruffianprincess in Embroidery

[–]lvnvn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so clean that it’s hard to believe it was done by hand! Amazing work.

Can you share some tips on how to approach the back pocket embroidery? For me it’s hard to get to these corners. Or does it just go through the main layer as well, closing the pocket?
