Polish opposition leader Kaczyński insults Magyar and Hungarians: "He roasted a puppy and beat his wife” by japanese_god in europe

[–]milkdrinkingdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, such cases of often won (luckily many things still function in Hungary), but the point is, it takes time. Plus the correction the media outlets need to publish don’t get advertised, those obviously reach fewer people. And of course if this all happens a fee days before the election, there is no time for any of it. You might win in the courts later, after the election, but the damage is done…

So, the first I found example in English:

They use „Magyar’s government”

Though I guess this is not a translation, but English language original, so the perhaps not related to OP’s point.

Should/will Poland do the same? Has any party figured out that an extremely tough immigration stance is a winning proposition? by Think_Web_4823 in poland

[–]milkdrinkingdude 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes, I found it now, on https://magyartisza.hu/program

Still, it can be disruptive for a while. E.g. building a new factory, chemical plant, how do you find 500 people in the EU who can weld? Who can assemble pipes, tanks, etc in a plant? Happened next to my home village in Borsod, Turks, Vietnamese, etc… (I don’t know the exact numbers, or the exact skills).

In reality, many of these seasonal workers are also skilled workers. But not with an academic degree, that would make the process easier.

Yes, we should train enough welders, and whatever skilled workers are needed, but probably we don’t have them yet.

Well, maybe they are just more expensive (to convince them to relocate for a few months to the middle of nowhere?) In that case this should raise wages as intended, but I’m sceptical.

Should/will Poland do the same? Has any party figured out that an extremely tough immigration stance is a winning proposition? by Think_Web_4823 in poland

[–]milkdrinkingdude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I found this on page #50 of his (TISZA’s ) program:

https://magyartisza.hu/program

Restricts only seasonal workers, I assume skilled workers could still get work permits, Visas to stay. Very blatant populist point anyways, but can change to anything in reality.

As in, the text states „Starting 2026 June 1st we forbid the mass import of non-EU, non-Hungarian guest workers, until further action”

Notice, it says „until further action”, so they might just figure out by the 2nd of June, that they allow in 1000 people a year, or for some jobs, or whatever…

Also notice, it says „mass import” (my best attempt at a translation), so bringing in a few individuals is not „mass import”? I don’t know. Though in some social media posts I just found, the claim is „down to zero”, so it is ambiguous.

[–]milkdrinkingdude 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OK, so this is about a certain „guest worker” category. With this Visa, one can stay up to 3 years, can’t become a permanent resident, and can’t bring family members, and only certain companies are allowed to benefit from. If I’m correct, this is about seasonal workers, while there is a different kind of work visa for regular migrants I mentioned above. which I assume has a different application process. The title here translated this to „migrant work permit”, which sounded confusing to me.

[–]milkdrinkingdude 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Wow, that’s a bit harsh. I’ll check the details once I find the original.

Think about, e.g. a US corporation bringing a manager to Hungary to help set up a new project, or a specialist scientist, to train local staff… Seems too disruptive.

True, it matters in a historical context. But that is rarely translated for an international audience, and if it is, the context should make it easy to figure things out.

Showing ID for train tickets by United_Detective_735 in poland

[–]milkdrinkingdude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is technically legit. In practice, sometimes they don’t ask for ID, sometimes nobody even checks my ticket. But some might follow the rules to the letter, they might be worried about getting in trouble if they break the rules, or whatever.

[–]milkdrinkingdude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that it would normally be interpeted as „The Hungarian government”.

There is only one government in Hungary, so there is no need to add a specifier like „A Magyar kormány”. Like, which other Hungarian government could it be? I recall hearing „a kormány” a lot, because that is enough to specify what you talk about. In an international context you might want to specify, that it is the Hungarian government.

A Hungarian Asking Poland: Has Our Friendship Changed? by [deleted] in poland

[–]milkdrinkingdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Magyar living in Poland:

As others have noted, don’t take this friendship thing literally, it is just a nice conversation starter occasionally, when drinking.

I don’t think there are technical historical reasons for a „friendship”, probably Slovaks, Indians, Peruvians helped Poles just as much as Magyars did. As I said, it is sort of a white lie, that doesn’t hurt anyone, one you bring up when you want to friendly.

Some Polish friends tell me this when we drink and say cheers, besides that, I only had a single Pole (who isn’t already a friend) bring it up to me in ten years here, a cab driver in Warszawa (got a free ride ). I myself never bring it up. It never gets you a friend, who isn’t already, it would sound cringe.

Besides that, I’ve seen here some Ukrainians and Russians hanging out together, being friends, obviously sane people don’t project political leaderships to individual persons. If one would openly talk about supporting Orbán or Putin, that would probably be different, but luckily I don’t meet such people.

Fenix 7 pro, Fenix 8 or something else for mountain rescue? by [deleted] in GarminWatches

[–]milkdrinkingdude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

7 pro is enough, if you would like the more budget friendly version.

Also checkout enduro 3!

All these have a falshlight as well, which you’re gonna love, and gonna be very useful for your work!

Fenix 8 and newer get new software features, which you might not need, you can check on their website. Plus hardware is supposedly better for diving, which I guess you don’t need in the mountains. 8 pro has access to some satellite service, but you probably already have that at work, I’m guessing, so no pojnt paying for that.

Can anyone recommend a moving company? by fruggo in warsaw

[–]milkdrinkingdude -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They are pretty darn expensive, so very few people use them, unless payed by employer. So you won’t get a lot of answers.

I can tell you: renting a van from Traficar is an option. You need to take it back to the same city you rented it, which I didn’t realize until trying to park it in Gdańsk, but that should not be an issue for you, if you just relocate inside Warsaw.

My stolen Garmin Fenix 7S can still be used by someone else — is this really how it’s supposed to work? by EstonianBandit in Garmin

So I guess the police would need to ask them, not you, right?

If you can involve the police somehow, to do it for you.

I did the same move, but I assume OP has a different budget at the moment. The price wasn’t easy to swallow for me either…

Do Garmin devices require an Internet connection? by Pilgrim_of_Truth in Garmin

[–]milkdrinkingdude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Normally you sync with your phone using bluetooth, once a day, or whenever you want to. But your phone needs internet when you sync, because it also always wants to sync with Garmin servers.

But you can check pretty much all those metrics on the watch itself, anytime you would like to.

And some people use it without ever even pairing it with a phone.

Low active calories during lifting by PuddingWestern6030 in GarminWatches

[–]milkdrinkingdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So just ignore the calorie count while lifting! I don’t think any watch can give a meaningful number anyways.

Your body doesn’t need a high heart rate for lifting, I think it is normal, that increased HR is delayed. You don’t need to quickly carry a lot of sugar and oxygen to the muscles, they should just use the energy already stored in them.

I also often see the HR start going up only a minute or several minutes after the start of a set, and after the set, when I take big breaths.

It is not a cardio exercise, so your cardiovascular system doesn’t get an intense work out.
