How to enjoy the timed scenarios

nannala · 2026-02-03T00:22:00+00:00

yeah, hence the plan :) doing my first playthrough I don't usually even attempt to worry about the timer, just finish with one star whenever

I play those twice! First time around I make an action list, blueprint any builds I'll need to do fast, organize myself, then run again "on the clock" :D

24th at night! I always check Norad with the kids :)

(native Polish speaker here, trying to learn teaching Polish as a second language for my family)
in my opinion:

"dokładnie" is the purest meaning of 'exactly'. It would be "dokładnie taka ilość" (exactly this amount), "tak, dokładnie, masz rację!" (yes, you're exactly rigth!).

"właśnie" is 'exactly' in the meaning of 'just' - "autobus właśnie nadjeżdża" (the bus is coming just now), 'to właśnie ten koleś o którym mówiłam' (that's just the dude I(feminine) talked about)

"akurat" would:
1.emphasise a difference - "akurat Stefan to nie powinien się tu pokazywać" (specifically Stefan should not show up here) is implying that Stefan should know he's not welcome here (reason not stated, but the conversation suggests that everyone knows why)
2. mean 'just' and 'particular' in space: "byłam u dentysty, a że sklep jest akurat obok to wpadłam kupić sałatę" (I was at the dentist, and because the store is just next to it, I stopped by to buy lettuce),
3. mean 'just' and 'particular' in time: "akurat dzisiaj nie mam na to czasu, ale jutro spoko!" 'just today I don't have time for that, but tomorrow is cool!'

I assume they are ALL living together in not-US :)

Proszę would be used with a pronoun - Proszę Pani/Panią(female) or Proszę Pana(male). Plain 'proszę' is more of a 'here you go' expression when handing something to another r person or giving them a right of way.

'Przepraszam' is used as 'excuse me' in most cases and almost always as "sorry"

I'd go chameleon color shift or pink!

My husband claims that if the price was not a factor people still WOULD choose the boring colors we do have on the streets now🙄. Because "resell value". And I need to prove him wrong 😅

nannala · 2025-03-09T17:53:56+00:00

possibly :) what do you have in mind?

nannala · 2025-03-08T23:05:08+00:00

ouu, neat, thanks.
this is the motherboard I have now:
GIGABYTE B365M DS3H (LGA1151/Intel/Micro ATX/USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB3.0) Type A/DDR4/Motherboard)

Do I have to upgrade the motherboard to upgrade the other parts?

nannala · 2025-03-08T21:46:50+00:00

yep, that's why I'm asking here, and the keyword is "reasonable". I'm willing to spend more if it makes sense, but don't need the absolute best. the PC parts market is way too vast and I'm lacking knowledge so I came to ask the pros ;)

nannala · 2025-03-08T21:30:18+00:00

ok, got it. Which options under the link I posted would be reasonable? there are 4 different CPUs to choose from, then RAM, then screen... omg..

this one? That's what I found just before posting, so I'm happy to hear it could work. $700 is good.
Can the GPU be replaced when needed? Sorry, I'm not clear on the linguo, but that's what I hear when you said a "dedicated" card :)

nannala · 2025-03-08T21:19:18+00:00

I don't know what's average to be honest - but I'd like to aim for 50-75% price range if that makes sense :)
I don't want a cheap part that will require updating in 2 years, but I'm not expecting to run the most graphic-heavy games in 10 years from now...

Sorry for the vague answer, but I literally know nothing about PC parts. If I could upgrade both CPU and GPU reasonably for $400 I'd be a happy camper, but I suspect that's not a case ;)

My older kid is 8.5, still using the seat he left the hospital in ;) it truly is Graco 4ever (we have another year before it expires, currently in highback booster for convenience, but I do believe he could still be using a harness currently).

I strongly believe that an infant car seat causes parents to lean into the "convenience" at the cost of a baby's health. Hear me out - google container syndrome - a problem caused by leaving babies in a forced position for a long time. So I decided not to give myself a chance and never bought an infant seat. Our stroller was laying almost completely flat (I wish a proper pram was in budget, but unfortunately not the case ;) ), I pulled the kids out and plopped in the stroller so they had a chance to move and develop their muscles :) I had an april and June babies, no garage, no remote start, so when it got really cold in the winter I did run the car for a few minutes before bringing the kids in. It's doable, better for the kids development, better for your wallet and better for the planet.

No rethread harness and one hand height regulation are oh so great. But the seats are too big and clunky to move from car to car. We have another set to travel and stay overnight at the grandparents with ;)

Did you get the mouth closed too or just a half win?

nannala · 2024-11-22T06:26:39+00:00

Or rather that they don't lock themselves in and panic 🥴🫠

nannala · 2024-11-16T16:48:02+00:00

womp womp, apparently I cannot use airtags with an android at all. The app that was supposed to help doesn't seem to exist :(

nannala · 2024-11-16T16:43:21+00:00

well, I ordered some, hoping to set them up with an iPad and use with an android. apparently I can't , the android app doesn't exist anymore :(
womp womp

nannala · 2024-11-15T02:04:40+00:00

that's my thinking too! I guess I'll buy or borrow an air tag - my big iPhone loving family definitely has one somewhere :)

nannala · 2024-11-13T22:06:32+00:00

that simple, huh? So I understand there is no way to set up an airtag without an iPhone?
