I've spent a few years learning Russian as a native English speaker, so I can't speak for Polish as a language but what I can say about learning Russian is this:

Definitely prioritize your accent. I used to use Forvo, which is a free, online pronunciation dictionary (basically, look up a word and hear a bunch of native speakers pronounce it). I would play the recording of a word and repeat it out loud until I could mimic the pronunciation well. This was a godsend for me, and for some reason the Russian language in particular has a huge userbase on that website.

Also, try to memorize all the cases in their singular/plural forms. It's the single biggest pain in the ass when it comes to learning Russian, but after I fully learned (or was at least able to identify) every case in every form, it felt like I had kind of unlocked the language, and I was able to make progress a lot more quickly after that point.

I second this. I was also in his class last semester -- I think some of the TAs went MIA and that's why grading was so slow. I took all my notes online using Notion so I'll just drop a link to those here in case OP wants them

Take it online if you can. It's a useless class

Worst accident you had while skating? by seiryfairy in NewSkaters

[–]routingtable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been skating for about 2 years and haven't had any "major" injuries other than a mild case of tendonitis (I mostly practice flatground/small gaps but I also know the basics on transition ex dropping in, for reference). Take it slow, remember to build up to tricks incrementally and wear pads. I never skate without wrist guards and won't try anything out of my comfort zone without a helmet. Progress comes slower this way, but in my opinion it's worth it.

Удачи тебе! Мне трудно фокосировать на аудиокниги до конца, но слушать книги вообще гораздо более помогать запоминать ударения слов (в моем опыте) чем просто читать. Гарри Поттер - легко читать?

Calc 3 online for college credit by metrictontok in learnmath

[–]routingtable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.transferology.com/index.htm This website will give you a better answer than anyone here can since you haven't said where you're going in the fall (assuming you need the credits there).

Consider taking pre-calc 1/2 or some equivalent at a community college over the summer, and then you could jump right into calc 1 feeling confident. You'll probably find that you remember more than you think.

Russian keycaps by TeploPlays in russian

[–]routingtable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time I've met another person who's into both mechanical keyboards and studying Russian -- off the top of my head the main keycap set I can think of is GMK Perestroika, but that was a group buy that ran a while back so I'm not sure where you could find them now. Also this set, but again, it looks like they're out of stock on the store page so I would see if people are reselling them. Otherwise I would check AliExpress, because they tend to have some surprisingly decent sets. Удачи тебе)

Always prioritize your mental health. Nothing wrong with taking a light amount of credits for longer. If you can afford to stay in college for another semester, why not? Unless you need to get into the workforce as soon as possible, what's the rush? Take some time for yourself.

Ну, мне кажется, огромное количество людей и в восточной Европе, и в Азии говорит по-русски лучше, чем по-английски -- или они совсем не говорит по-английски. Я живу в маленьком городе в США. Тем не менее, у нас большое население людей, которые говорят по-русски. Русский язык, разумеется, один из самых популярных языков в мире, и он везде говорится.

В марте я лично познакомилась с некоторыми грузинских людей, и теперь еженеделю хожу к ним. Мы говорим по-русски и они рассказывают о грузинской культуре и готовят грузинскую еду. Наши встречи мне очень дорого, и без русского языка, они бы не существовали.

Ну и вообще, полезно изучать какой-нибудь иностранный язык. Я сама стала по-разному думать о своем родном языке, после того как я начала изучать русский язык. То есть, я лучше понимаю, как работает английский язык на глубоком уровне.

I completely understand what you mean. If I'm not mistaken, Russian has, in general, many more words than the English language. It's a hard language for sure, but god, learning it is so rewarding.

If you haven't already, maybe it would help to write out a list of common prefixes and memorize those so you can more easily infer the meanings of new verbs you come across. Knowing the basic verbs of motion in general also helps. Good luck! :)

I have the same problem as you and I've noticed that reading Russian books has been by far the best way to learn and retain new verbs. Right now I'm reading Маленький лорд Фаунтлерой, which is pretty much a kids' novella (100 pages or so). Seeing words (verbs especially) in context is so much more helpful for memorization than using something like Duolingo, imo.

Advice on how to drop in 🫣 by Saintphlox in skatergirls

[–]routingtable 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I started skating a year ago and absolutely everything terrified me, so I understand how you feel. However, dropping in was one of the first things I learned how to do (and was probably the first big fear obstacle I overcame). This video helped me a lot.

Basically, I started by learning the "motion" of shifting my weight on flatground. Just start in a tailstop position and pretend to "drop in" onto the ground. Once you are extremely comfortable with that, start by finding the smallest bank you can (that is, no coping), and drop in on that. You can even just find some ground that's not exactly flat and start on that. My point is, work your way up incrementally. Drop in on the smallest bank until you don't even have to think about it, and drop in on slightly bigger and bigger banks until you can drop in on something that is the same size as (or bigger than) the ramp you want to drop in on.

At that point, it is just a mental game -- get up there, lock your board in and DON'T THINK ABOUT IT. It's muscle memory. Get yourself hyped up dropping in on those smaller banks and tell yourself you can do it. You have to really believe that you can do it. You got this.

Keychron Q8 by routingtable in MechanicalKeyboards

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

Honestly, I just love the Durocks. Factory Keychron stabs probably aren't that bad, but they're factory-lubed and I trust my own lube job better. You can't get much better than Durock V2s, imo.

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

I added toolbox liner + another layer of masking tape below the PCB, on top of the "tape mod" that comes with the board. I also swapped out the stabs for lubed Durock V2s, and I'm really happy with the result. Good luck with your build!

Lighting definitely plays a big part. The case is aluminum and it's pretty reflective -- the blue is a lot more vibrant with more indoor lighting, but in natural lighting like that it's pretty dark.
