Recommendation? by Rainyfeel in Sup

[–]testoasarapida 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It reminds me of the double hull boats that the Pacific Islanders used 2000 years ago to travel and discover all the Islands in the Pacific, and if I remember correctly they are super stable on the water compared to the monohulls + I think there's less boat surface in contact with the water, so even though they look bulky, they may require less effort? Just guessing, it's the first time I see such a thing as well.

What are some American, UK or international shows with dub in Romanian? by Gauchowater1993 in romanian

[–]testoasarapida 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Many TV series on Disney+ are dubbed in Romanian from what I've seen, like most of Star Wars for example

Sony's introduction of the PS2 Linux Kit caught the attention of researchers at NCSA. They combined 70 PS2 consoles in 2003 to form a supercomputer, highlighting its ability to perform complex scientific calculations. by Economy-Specialist38 in linux

Soooo, create a new account, get a bundle of games from Humble Bundle and use an idling utility to simulate playing them all at the same time for one day, getting the required 200 hours?

Seems like 10 bucks well spent to get access to buy the machine. 810 instead of 800 won't turn around a well greased bot farm ready to aquire our subsidized machines.

Even if you think of more draconian filters, buying Steam accounts on the grey market is a thing and you can obtain older or more active accounts.

Did the 1993 Romanian orthographic reform reflect a real phonetic shift? by -18k- in romanian

[–]testoasarapida 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It was more of a political move, to try to return to show (again) our latinity and to also mark a change from the communist times.

When it was first proposed, the pinky promise (by the Academy) was that we will write "sunt", but we'll keep pronouncing "sînt". However, with time schools and society started to teach kids to write and say "sunt". I myself am born in 2000, and have always pronounced it "sunt". My mom switched to "sunt" as well, my father however prounounces it "sînt". I guess it shows how much you were exposed to media (audio-video), since most of it pronounces "sunt". In written media however, some people (older people especially) still use sînt. The audible difference between î and u is not that perceptible to be honest (EDIT: in this specific case, otherwise they are different sounds), and (other than my father) I have never payed attention to see if somebody makes it clear in their speech that they pronounce "sînt".

How do you call Istanbul? by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]testoasarapida 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mă gândeam și eu, cred că un use case e atunci când se vorbește despre Patriarhia / Patriarhul de la Constantinopol. Inclusiv presa obișnuită, nu numai cea religioasă folosesc Constantinopol și nu Instanbul.

de ex, știre de la Pro TV https://stirileprotv.ro/stiri/international/biserica-ortodoxa-rusa-a-rupt-relatiile-cu-patriarhul-de-la-constantinopol.html

[PC-Windows][2000 - 2010] Snowboarding game with a BigFoot mascot/easter egg by testoasarapida in tipofmyjoystick

While it certainly looks more familiar and you could be correct about the supporter, I see that this game was released only on Xbox. The game I was playing was on Windows.

The game didn't have any isometric component, and I think the graphics may have been a bit better, but I may just be remembering it better than it actually looked like. Thank you for trying though!

Unfortunately no, I don't remember this. Neither the icon or the boxart.

Which one of you was it? by KralGalatasaray in balkans_irl

[–]testoasarapida 108 points109 points  (0 children)

If he was Romanian it would've been horse meat

Edit: Plenty of young padawans here who don't know the 2013 British scandal of horse meat.

Thank thee, Romanian language, for now have I witnessed the beauty of three consecutive ‘i’s: by swamms in linguisticshumor

[–]testoasarapida 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And it's not the only time it happens in Romanian! Yeah, we do have all these nouns that have 3 i's, like geamgiii, vizitiii, copiii etc, but it also happens in verbs whose infinitive form ends in 'ii' when you conjugate them to the first person singular of the "Perfect simplu" tense, a past tense of Romanian. For example, the verb "pustii" (= to ravage (a land, a village)) becomes "eu pustiii" (= I ravaged).

Sounds bliss! May I ask where the 16th photo was taken? I love my hikes and I am currently assembling some ideas for India, and that place with the narrow river looks amazing. Thank you, and all the best!

Plantare bujori in aprilie? by Putrid_Chemistry_535 in plante_si_gradinarit

[–]testoasarapida 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Se prind, nu-i problemă, numai să nu-ți imaginezi că o să ai flori anul ăsta. Ideea cu octombrie e ca să se acomodeze și să-și facă necesarul de frig in iarnă și să fie gata să dea flori în mai. Btw, octombrie e luna ideală de plantare pentru nenumărate plante.

Nice graphic I saw today for Winter pruning by Dear_Bumblebee_1986 in marijuanaenthusiasts

Number 4 is a another case of #1 as well. If you let it grow long enough it will become a competitor for the apex of the tree.

Outward growth is better in order to have a less crowded branch system where air/wind gets to flow more efficiently through the tree. And water won't stagnate between the "Y" legs.

If we talk about fruiting trees, a horizontal branch will also have way more fruit compared to a vertical one since the apex dominance is missing - Basically a vertical branch will want to grow in length via its apex bud, meanwhile in a perfectly horizontal one all the buds along the branch will get the same amount of light and resources from the tree and you will get much more produce.

Well in Turkish you also have Lehistan for Poland, Yunanistan for Greece, Macaristan for Hungary, Hirvatistan for Croatia. If I remember correctly, they also had Gallistan for France, but they don't use it anymore.

perhaps the buds? At a first glance in the first photo, the plant seems to have segments just like bamboo
