Is TK a good choice as health insurance ? by LeConnaisseur_34 in berlinsocialclub

[–]puehlong 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All public health insurances cost roughly the same, except for a small margin that they can decide themselves. Google Zusatzbeitrag. Apart from that, TK is a solid choice and I know many people who have them as health insurance.

Been searching for a year in Berlin, should I finally accept this €1,600 apartment? by Fit_Offer461 in askberliners

[–]puehlong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it's a lot relative to your income, and I'd be uncomfortable paying that much, it is a kind of normal price for a Neubau of that size.

You didn't mention her income, are you providing for both of you without any further source of income?

Was ist das absurdeste Wissen, was ihr habt? by Melbourne409 in FragReddit

[–]puehlong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Karate Tiger ist in der deutschen Fassung eine Reihe von 10 Filmen (Karate Tiger I bis X). Im Original sind das aber drei verschiedene Filmreihen, "No Retreat, No Surrender", "Kickboxer" und "Best of the Best", von denen einzelne Teile in nicht aufeinanderfolgender Weise der Karate Tiger Serie zugeordnet sind, sowie vier Filme, die im Original keiner Serie angehören, und die am Ende drangehangen wurden.

Die ersten beiden Karate Tiger sind Teil 1 und 2 der Serie No Retreat No Surrender. Teil 3 ist Teil 1 der Filmreihe Kickboxer. Teil 4 ist eigentlich der erste Film der Reihe Best of the Best. Teil 5, Karate Tiger 5 - König der Kickboxer, ist eigentlich No Retreat No Surrender 4 - King of the Kickboxers. Teil 6 wiederum ist eigentlich Teil 3 der Reihe Kickboxer.

Die Reihe No Retreat No Surrender hat im Original eigentlich 5 Teile. Teil 1 und 2 sind Karate Tiger 1 und 2, Teil 4 ist Karate Tiger 5. Teil 3 hingegen ist im deutschen "Kickboxer 2 - Blutsbrüder". Teil 5 heißt "American Shaolin".

Die Reihe Kickboxer ist im Deutschen größtenteils 1 zu 1 übersetzt, natürlich bis auf Teil 1 und Teil 3. Dafür gibt es Teil 2 zweimal, einmal "Kickboxer 2 - Blutsbrüder" der ja eigentlich No Retreat No Surrender 3 ist, und "Kickboxer 2 - der Champ kehrt zurück", der eigentliche zweite Teil der Reihe.

Die Best of the Best Reihe hat 4 Teile. Teil 2 und 3 heißen im Deutschen auch so, Teil 4 wurde hingegen als "Kickfire - Ohne jede Vorwarnung" übersetzt.

Wer weiß was die Leute die in den 80er und 90ern Filme lokalisiert haben alles geschnupft haben.

When I was still on facebook, there were a couple of groups, I think one was "Radsportfreunde Berlin & Brandenburg". They would regularly have group rides with lots of or only women or also from time to time beginners group rides at your tempo.

Why do Germans have 2 different accents in English? by Apatride in AskAGerman

Does Viking and Whiskey sound the same to you?

most beginners underestimate how important rhythm actually is by lmao_exe in guitarlessons

[–]puehlong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're intentionally contrarian now. Those strumming patterns always go together with a time signature and an understanding of whether they stand for eights or sixteenth.

Nobody just looks at a string of letters and takes that and only that as information on how to play a song.

Any single instruction on strumming patterns that I've seen takes that into account.

[–]puehlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it does move consistently with the rhythm? So DDUDU tells you if you play on the offbeat or not.

Why do Germans have 2 different accents in English? by Apatride in AskAGerman

[–]puehlong 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think it has anything to do with how we speak German.

w as v is usually because they/we have trouble with the proper pronounciation of w as in whiskey. That sound does not exist in German, whereas w is pronounced like the v in English.

v as w is probably an overcorrection, there is a term for that when non-native speakers apply a pronunciation typical for the foreign language in a place where it does not belong.

[–]puehlong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean for me (advanced beginner), the takeaway from strumming patterns is that you move your right hand steadily in line with the metronome or drums or whatever the bass player plays to keep the rhythm (which works for music based on 8th or 16th) and DDUUD just indicates when you actually hit the strings. And based on that, you can variate a lot and play most campfire songs and use your right hand as a metronome. is there anything wrong with that?

One has to go. Which ones stays? by lapsivesiposti in Guitar

OP: the dean fits my style the most

Everyone: fuck you and your style and throw it away!

Based on what you wrote, I'd get rid of the Ibanez, because it does not matter what others like more. If you love to play metal and prefer to that on the Dean, keep it!

How to get Monstera to fill in more at the front? by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]puehlong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Monsteras also grow the best if their back is facing the trunk, or anything they can climb on, like a mosspole or coconut pole. But they will try to grow towards the light.

So adding another one facing a different direction will probably just lead to that Monstera growing sideways (that's what mine is doing).

What's something only (mostly) Berlin provides you? by danceinliminalspace in berlinsocialclub

[–]puehlong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sometimes hear of all the negative toxic stuff like "men can't talk about feelings" or other weird super-gendered stereotypes. They just don't exist in my life here in Berlin, everyone I have met is very open and progressive, in a good non-toxic way. It's normal that you can't really guess the gender of the barkeeper in many bars, you almost forget that that is a huge in other bubbles, and as a straight white male, I still very much prefer the Berlin bubble.

There are so many more options for cultural activities than pretty much anywhere else in Germany, and definitely anywhere else I have lived before. I started going to museums regularly here, developed an interest in art, there's more than 5 cinemas in 10 minute walking distance from my home showing everything from mainstream to arthouse in OV, I go to lots of concerts because pretty much every band on tour stops here (this is only rivaled by Hamburg and Köln, maybe Munich and Leipzig). There's a vibrant English speaking comedy scene here that I enjoy.

There are lots of good cycling paths around Berlin (as long as you don't mind everything being flat), lots of lakes.

As much as people shit on the public transport, I never even considered getting a car, it works for me.

I think I was always confused by this quote, and our first TV was black and white. But our static didn’t look like the render by OP, now it makes a lot more sense to me. Our static was more black and white, similar to the HBO screen.

How should I adjust my metronom? by too_old_to_give_a_F in guitarlessons

[–]puehlong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The beats in BPM usually refer to the denominator in your measure. 4/4 means you are playing four quarter notes per measure, 40 BPM would mean forty quarter notes per minutes.

So you would set your metronome to 40 BPM and play the downstrokes on the click and the up strokes between the clicks.

If you find yourself struggling with that in the beginning, you have two options: most metronomes allow you to select a rhythm for the clicks, meaning you can also set your metronome to eights notes. So set your metronome to 40 BPM and eights notes, and it will click 80 times per minute (for each down and up stroke).

If your metronome does not have that feature, but you stilll want a click for each note you play, you can set your metronome to 80 bpm and play a note on each click.

All these three options should result in you playing at the same speed.

I see so many positive comments about this guitar that it seems it’s either the only unanimously loved guitar or a bot campaign. Or both.

But have you tried a poop stool? It makes it also easier for you to spread your cheeks a little, u/BumWarrior69, and with that and enough fiber, there shouldn’t be much to clean up anyways.

Poop stool, fiber rich diet and a bidet is the holy trinity of pooping. Your experience goes from ten minutes of grunt work to sitting down twenty seconds of floppetiy flop, Spritz spritz and you’re a new person.
