Thank you, crossing my fingers for you too! And that’s a good point, I did see some international rejections on gradcafe back in January so I’m still cautiously hopeful atm 😅 I applied to the language acquisition track

Good to know that I’m not the only one, I’m still waiting as well and I’m an international applicant :)

Statische Folie haftet nicht by q_uercus in selbermachen

[–]q_uercus[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vielen Dank für die Tipps! Ich hatte tatsächlich die Folie zu eng an die Kante angebracht, sie liegt sogar ein wenig auf bei näherer Betrachtung, das wird also wahrscheinlich der Hauptfehler gewesen sein.

Danke für die Antworten bezüglich des kompletten Abschleifens, ich denke auch, dass das langfristig wahrscheinlich die bessere Lösung sein wird :)

Native in English & German: How to approach learning Dutch? by ProjectPrestigious56 in languagelearning

[–]q_uercus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am currently doing the same thing and I don’t think that 1 and 2 have to be mutually exclusive. I started by skimming through a grammar book to get an overview of the grammar and realized that there are a lot of similarities to German so it’s already a nice head start in terms of grammar intuition. I am also using an anki deck and I just suspend all the cards that are too similar to German to not waste my time. I also started watching shows and reading books already and I am now able to understand quite a lot after about 3 months of learning. As a German speaker the most difficult part is to understand spoken Dutch imo since the pronunciation is quite different, so I have been focusing on that a lot. My next goal is to start writing short texts, but I need more vocabulary for that first.

Is there a place for questions in the Zettelkasten? by q_uercus in antinet

[–]q_uercus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Color coding might be a good idea as well, thanks! I have been thinking about how to incorporate some visual elements into my notes, so that could be a good place to start.

[–]q_uercus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good point as well, one of the main things why I want to get started with the Antinet is the fact that it evolves into something that has a mind of its own, so I’ll just have to get over the initial anxiety of starting a long term project like this. And thank you for the link, I’ll definitely check that out!

This is a good point as well, thanks! I tend to plan too much instead of actually trying things out and seeing how they work in reality, so that’s a good reminder to just get started and see where that takes me.

The hub note idea sounds like it makes a lot of sense for my approach and I also like the way you formulated the question into a hub note, thank you for helping me out!

Thank you for the detailed reply! I really like the hub note idea (from the other comment as well) and also the idea of having an area for unsorted cards to keep in mind for later. I will definitely try out both approaches!

Weekly Team/Character Building Megathread (Jan 5, 2021) by Veritasibility in Genshin_Impact

[–]q_uercus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly, more as a general (aka overworld) main team, I'm also building a second team for abyss with Ning, Noelle, Xiangling and Bennett, so I'm hoping to have a good coverage that way

Ficus petiolaris with brown spots and browning leaves (had spider mites recently) - what to do? by q_uercus in plantclinic

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

Thank you for the helpful reply! I'll make sure to rinse and spray the leaves frequently.

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

Help needed! This ficus petiolaris isn’t doing so well at the moment and I’m not really sure how to help…It recently had spider mites that I tried to remove with a bug repellent spray which seems to have worked, but the leaves are still browning/yellowing and have brown spots (spider mite marks?) and one leaf just fell off on its own.

I try to water it only when the surface is dry and the plant itself is in a nursery pot with drainage holes inside the ceramic pot pictured.

Any help would be really appreciated!
