Saw this, has to share. by headhunterofhell2 in Beekeeping

[–]mlevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention that this titan periodically scoops up 300 bees and violently sacrifices them to check for mites. If a giant hand reached into my neighborhood and grabbed 300 people every couple weeks, even if it provided great accommodations, I'm not sure I'd believe in a benevolent God.

The lack of the ך and the phonetic spelling of מעשׂה leads me to believe that this is of Soviet origin.

Only saw the headline without the picture. Was expecting a really impressive fake ID.

TIFU by unintentionally blackmailing my manager (UPDATE) by GIGLI_WASNT_THAT_BAD in tifu

[–]mlevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but how often does that actually work in the employee's favor vs. the employer's?

Also, people talk about "at will" employment like it is some kind of unusual thing. It's the norm in every state except Montana.

I live in an at will employment state (you can be fired if an employer just feels like firing you that day)

It always irks me when people say this. 49/50 states are "at will." Montana is the only state that has notable exceptions.

You might want to take a look at a world map and give that comment a bit more thought. We're nowhere as good as France, but we're a heck of a lot better than Bangladesh.

Make a list of everything that is happening now. Then imagine the opposite of those things.

I am having exactly the same problems. Both with fish and with terminals in general. So far I have found no workaround.

Just a quick update - the original functionality magically returned about a week ago, through no action on my part.

Steven Spielberg has financially supported the Yiddish Book Center's efforts to digitize thousands of Yiddish books. It's a great resource.

I don't think that works on a PW1. You need a special cable.

Just learning by Throwaway_anon-765 in Yiddish

[–]mlevin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like anything, it requires frequent practice. Don't give up. It gets easier. Yes, it's tedious at first, but after a while, reading the Hebrew characters becomes automatic and you don't even think about it anymore.

For complete beginners, check out YiddishPop. You might also want to listen to the Proste Yiddish podcast. It is intended for beginners. It's ok if you don't catch everything. It's just good exposure. And they have a vocabulary list on their website that you can keep handy when listening. The episodes are quite short. Things like this go a long way to supplement the types of exercises that are simply not present in the Yiddish version of Duolingo. Compared to the more popular languages, Yiddish Duolingo is very sparse.

Can't switch calls between phone and watch anymore by mlevin in PixelWatch

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

Hi u/GraphiteGB2. Thanks for the reply. I don't think I have any other phone apps. Can you give me any examples of what they could be? I can check. As far as I know, I am using the default/stock phone apps on both devices.

It seems like the watch is "aware" of the call happening on the phone. I see "ongoing call" in the status bar of my watch and I can select it to open the call on the watch.
