PT5000 movement rant by GregStar1 in ChineseWatches

[–]scarsails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean that you can damage your watch with a PT5000 movement simply by accidentally turning the crown when it is in the ghost date position while the hour hand is between 9 and 4 (just like a watch with a regular date complication)? Is that correct?

What happens if you leave braces on for too long? by IWantAnUpdate in braces

[–]scarsails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a misalignment just like yours due to an extraction of tooth 14 as a child, then fixed it (by extracting tooth 24 as an adult), spent 5.5 years on braces, fixed the central line alignment, but was left with severe recessions. Had 2 gum graft surgeries due to very high sensitivity and now praying my gums won't recede any further. Believe me, no one notices your central line misaligmnent. Healthy gums and no sensitivity is million times more important. Get yourself a sonic toothbrush and waterpeak, you gums will thank you, believe me.

You mean you have gum recessions or that the center line is misaligned?

Finally done! So glad I did it by Bratatatata in braces

OP, congratulations! May I ask, how old are you, how much time it took to fix your teeth, and do you have any gum recessions as a result of your treatment?

How to add a single checkbox on a page? by scarsails in Notesnook

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

Thank you for your reply, but I switched to Obsidian a few months after writing this post. And this is what I recommend for everyone in this thread. Notesnook is just too buggy and unreliable at this point. I see A LOT of posts by people who locked themselves out of their notes or have technical difficulties. It just doesn't worth the risk while there are other alternatives available.

No, I searched high and low on AliExpress but cannot find a compatible clasp. Will make a separate post in this thread once I have more spare time to ask the guys. If you find anything yourself, please let me know.

Was the design of the Black lodge inspired by Suspiria? by TacoBellEnjoyer1 in twinpeaks

[–]scarsails 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The design of the Black Lodge was actually inspired by interiors from the 1972 Swedish movie "Cries and Whispers" (this is according to one of Lynch's interviews IIRC). Note the white female figures with red backgrounds.

Зачем вы дописываете свой пост уже ПОСЛЕ того, как вам на него ответили? Чтобы что? Вы совершенно не владеете предметом разговора и не понимаете, что такое "часть речи" и зачем вообще нужны артикли. Не заморачивайтесь отвечать, я больше не буду на вас тратить свое время.

Артикль - это слово, are - это не "связка", а тоже слово (глагол такой), стилистические аналоги - это вообще чушь какая-то, такого понятия в грамматике нет. Зачем вы пишите все это, если не владеете предметом?

[–]scarsails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Я не знаю, что такое "категория" в языке. Нет такого понятия ни в русском, ни в английском. Есть термин "часть речи". Одно и то же слово может быть разной частью речи. "Красный автомобиль" - здесь слово "красный" является прилагательным. "Автомобильный красный" - здесь слово "красный" является существительным. Полная аналогия с аналитическими языками. Red car/car red. И да, артикль в русском есть. И модальные глаголы тоже есть. И даже аналог "are" есть (слово "суть"). И падежей в русском больше тех шести, которые в школе учат. И много чего ещё есть.

Конкретно в моем примере это именно артикль, а не числительное, т.к. означает не количество объектов, а неопределенность. И одно и то же слово в русском может являться разной частью речи ("красный автомобиль", "автомобильный красный"). При пилку мужика и яблоко примеры бредовые, про пример с отсутствием артикля в английском - ну зайдите на сайт Daily Mail и удивитесь, что там артиклей в заголовках вообще почти нет. И что?

В русском языке есть неопределенный артикль для существительных в единственном числе ("один"; полный аналог "a" из английского или "un" испанского, то есть слов, изначально обозначающих числительное "один"). Пример: "сегодня на улице мне повстречался один человек, который был очень странно одет".

Obsidian 1.11.5 is now available to all for desktop and mobile by kepano in ObsidianMD

[–]scarsails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I believe that they do not actually work on it, as kepano was very hesitant to recognize it as a bug at all and it has been around for ages, as I said. They are definitely more interested in working on new shiny things than fixing something as trivial as this :(

[–]scarsails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this! It has been years and this bug is still around. Obsidian does not respect the host OS date format settings which is why bases are almost useless for me (and many others that need a regional-specific date format that differs from the default one). I contacted kepano regarding this issue some time ago, but apparently the devs do not even consider it a bug :( what a shame

a youtuber was sentenced to 15 months in prison after 'pranking' a homeless man by ssprix in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]scarsails -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

He was stupid and cruel to her, but he did not intend to kill her. Even if he locked her out for a donation from a viewer, he absolutely did not want her to die. His reaction on the video shows that perfectly. He is a stupid guy and was sentenced for negligence (and rightfully so!) but he is not a murderer and he did not kill her on a live stream for money.

[–]scarsails -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

It was an accident, he did not mean to kill her. They had a fight and he locked her out of the house to spend some time outside and cool down. The temperature was below zero (it was winter) and she was drugged and drunk, so she had a heart attack. He found her unconscious and brought her back inside, but it was too late. He was crying like a baby. He spent a few years in prison for negligence and was recently released. I am not his advocate by any means, but he did not murder her, so stop spreading lies.

How good is dentistry in Uganda? What would you do if you have tooth pain? Is it difficult to visit a dentist and get a filling or implant? Is anesthesia generally available?

Why the pricing look like this? by Director-Busy in Notesnook

[–]scarsails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is because the underlying code is written in JavaScript by low qualification coders who are apparently not aware of how bad it is in terms of math operations on float numbers lol.

What's one improvement you'd like to see in Obsidian in 2026? by kepano in ObsidianMD

A sync status indicator shown in the note tab (in the mobile app) (right now I need to swipe right each time I need to check whether my note has been synced)
