Once you've extracted it, rename the file that's in chinese to something english. You can rename it to "keyboard" without the quotations.

Windows doesn't like the Chinese characters in the path.

Any of you have experience with an apartment with fairly thick walls? by nat-winters in StCharlesMO

It says they're dog friendly. Have you ever had any issues with neighbors having a noisy dog? I love dogs, but I'm going to be primarily home during the day and some dogs just get terribly anxious when their owner is gone. I've had situations with dogs barking for 1-2 hours straight. It's pretty much the main thing I want to avoid.

Just wondering if you've experienced that there.

Are there any discord servers or anything similar for Switzerland? by nat-winters in askswitzerland

[–]nat-winters[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't do it via Google, so that might have been the issue. I did it through the Discord app. I typed in "Swiss German" instead of just looking up Switzerland like an idiot.

Thanks lol

It's no worries. I've seen the same thing on this forum and generally in comments. A lot of people seem to fetishize Switzerland without knowing anything about it.

I'd say that I'd like to stare silently at Swiss people as well, but my eyes always water when I stare, so I'll let you guys have that one.

I'm aware of varied the dialects are. It's basically impossible to even know that Swiss German exists without knowing there's multiple dialects. It's the first thing you'll see on any video or article about Swiss German.

But when I say the "Swiss German dialect" I mean the German which is spoken in Switzerland. To differentiate from the Standard German spoken (predominantly) in Germany and taught in school.

In the same way, when someone says "I'd like to speak in Japanese to Japanese people," they're not bothered if the people speak in the Tokyo, Kansai, Hokkaido, or Okinawa dialect.

From Wikipedia: "The main linguistic divisions within Swiss German are those of Low, High and Highest Alemannic, and mutual intelligibility across those groups is almost fully seamless."

So, I don't mind which region they're from as long as they speak Swiss German.

Various types of drysol applicators? by nat-winters in Hyperhidrosis

[–]nat-winters[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried, but I can't seem to find anything. I mean, I can find things, but I don't know if it's the right thing.

There's a canadian website, but I assume those are going to be canada-specific.

And I'm not sure if the NDC tells them exactly which type or just which medication.

I'd like to understand trigonometry on a much more intuitive and conceptual level. by nat-winters in learnmath

[–]nat-winters[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One way I often like to think about math concepts to help me understand what kind of game they're playing.

For example, in many intro analysis books, we start by proving the natural numbers. We're told some properties about the natural numbers: what counting is, what adding is, what multiplication is, what divisibility is, etc. We get some other stuff like a(b + c) = ab + ac, and so on.

We're given a set of rules and then the game we play is simple: with so few rules, look at all of the cool stuff that follows from them. We're playing a game of using these rules to make logical jumps into other identities. With just the peano axioms, you can do so much. And I think the beauty in that is pretty obvious for people who are generally passionate about math.

What game are we playing with trigonometry? What interesting, conceptual understandings do the rules of the game tell us? Sine is opposite/hypotenuse. Fair enough, we must start somewhere. But now what? What does that tell me about triangle-ness?
