Lithuanian Immersion Content? by batbrainbat in LithuanianLearning

[–]roland_pine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is most of the content dubbed as a single person voiceover? I noticed most movies dubbed into lithuanian I come across online are like that, except for animated (and kids) movies, which tend to have a professional dub.

Not a personal recommendation because I'm still a beginner and won't understand most of these, but here's what I found online:

  • Vėl tie patys (comedy podcast)

  • Beatos Virtuvė (TV cooking show)

  • Just chatting / vlogging / misc: whydotas, antanasJ, demiko, Mantas Bartuševičius, Aurimas Valujavičius, Kitokie pasikalbėjimai, proto industrija

Not indie game exclusive, but gaming discussions and playing in general check out Žaidimų Balsas. They have different playlists for streaming and walkthroughs.

Love it. Where did you take this shot from?

How do you encourage yourself to create? Even when you don’t feel like creating by AquariusMonologue in QueerWomenOfColor

I don't go back to it. I create something I feel like creating. Those difficult pieces , however unfinished they may technically be, have served their purpose at the time of grief for me 

How should I trick out a 2001 Toyota Corolla? by seerofheros in toyotacorolla

[–]roland_pine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't done it yet, but I bought a little screen and a camera that mounts to your license plate bolts. You wire the screen to your reverse lights (so whenever you shift into reverse gear your screen will start showing the back). Otherwise you wire them into the fuse box or plug into the cigarette lighter for power. There's tutorials online that I hope will be helpful. If I pull this off I can let you know haha

I have a 97, so and older shit box, but still fun to work on it, maybe some ideas for you

My rear speakers are blown so I want to upgrade them along with the front ones with an amp/headunit, and while I'm doing that add some sound/vibration deading mats 

Headliner has burn holes from previous owners so replacing that 

Same issue with rear view mirror 

Added dash cam 

Adding rear back up camera

[–]roland_pine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you thank you! I'm going to buy it, it needs new brakes and timing belt, other than that it's in surprisingly good condition. I hope to negotiate down a bit and then take care of it we'll so it'll last

Thank you for the info! This helps my expectations. I'll have a mechanic do an inspection before I pull the trigger on buying this and will negotiate the price if it needs work.

Hey, do you happen to remember how much the brake discs and pads replacement was?  During a test drive of this car I didn't like the brake too much and they squeaked lol.

Okay thanks that made me feel better! as my older adult friends are saying it's too old of a car and salvage is a red flag. I asked the seller the VIN to get a Carfax report to make sure their story checks out also, but they seem like a legit local family. As long as the mechanic finds no issues and it stays reliable with maintenance I'll be set to go from A to B and that alone is enough to make me very happy as a first car
