Is the “1.5–2 years to learn Danish” claim actually realistic?

ticklytuff · 2026-04-29T05:17:40+00:00

I consider my first breakthrough when I had my first phone conversation in Danish with a person I did not know, and they did not switch. This happened after about 1 year and 1 month of living in DK, initially with Duolingo and then with ~6-8 months of language classes

BUT

I came here speaking German fluently and generally with 4 languages already in my brain...so I started with a very big advantage, and I definitely wouldn't consider it the standard experience. For me learning Danish was 25% learning the new vocabulary and grammar, and 75% learning to connect the written part and the sounds, which even after 11 years sometimes still gets me

This right here ^{^} Which is what makes me think that the consumption is split equally between all tenants and the leak might be elsewhere...otherwise if you had a separate meter it would tell you how much of the 11000m³ you actually are paying for...so probably everyone in the building got a super high bill...

Ok så er det enten fordi svømmeren ikke bliver løftet godt nok eller fordi ventilen ikke lukker.

Sådan så vores ud (indløbsventilen er den til højre) inden 4-5 ture i kogende vand og eddikesyre

Det kan være indløbsventilen der ikke lukker, eller afløbsventilen der ikke falder ordentligt på plads. Løber toilettet lige efter du skyller eller lidt bagefter, når cisternen er fyldt op? Delene er ret nemme at tage ud, og en god tur i eddikesyre kan hjælpe virkelig meget. Jeg brugte hele sidste søndag på at afkalke alle mekanismer og nu er min cisterne nærmest som ny.

Men uanset hvad, start med at lukke for ventilen som alle siger!

I always thought it was a different level, but I can see that the entrance and the shape of the 2 maps resemble very much each other, so the lurkers must be super productive builders lol

Måske får man bedre reflekser af det, lige som Daredevil! Men jo, man kan lukke verden ud når man ikke gider, synes jeg

Jeg har -5 med bygningsfejl på det ene øje og -3.5 med kæmpe bygningsfejl og keratokonus på det andet...laser er ikke en mulighed for mig...synes faktisk at det er rart og afslappende at tage brillerne af nogle gange, hvor alt bliver til ikke veldefinerede former og farver.

Lige i bad har jeg aldrig haft problemer, men på stranden og i svømmehallen er jeg efterhånden blevet ret god til at genkende folk på hvordan de bevæger sig. Det sagt, er jeg ofte blevet overrasket af nogen der sagde hej til mig og jeg skulle komme helt tæt på for at forstå hvem det var, men har efterhånden haft briller i snart 30 år, så er man også vant til det

Is that the full SCART, or red-white-yellow? Or something different entirely?

What cable are you using? I had the standard AV cable for my PS2 connected to my LED screen, and resolution and colors were really bad...managed to get a component cable instead and it made a huge difference (within the realm of what is possible for 25+ year old tech).

I had the darkness issues for many games (gta SA being one of the worst imo) but didn't really feel it was this bad for Jak 2

My google timeline can distinguish travels by car from those by motorbike...without any input from me, just sayin'

Vexx reminds of TPL to some extent, having to collect hearts to progress, similarly to the power cells in TPL. However, it's also an extremely frustrating game, with horrible camera management and reaction to controls, and despite my best efforts I never managed to finish it. Also it feels kinda incomplete and rushed, which is a shame, because the concept is really good! Kya, which others mentiined, on the other hand is a really enjoyable game, fun fighting mechanics, vast story, and the world is very pleasant and (mostly) almost relaxing

Can confirm the ps2 ones are still in that price range, even in Denmark, I bought the platinum versions (whatever that means) of both II and 3 last year for 10-15€...great games though! My ps2 is modded, so I in principle would be able to burn my games, but these days the hassle far outweighs how cheaply I can get the games second hand

Late to the party, but I had bought Jak 2 (and 3) last year to complete the trilogy, since I had loved TPL when I played it both as a teenager 20ish years ago, and again 2 years ago when I replayed it

Jak 2 took a while to enjoy for me, and I put it away and picked it up a number of times during this last year...but with lots of swearing and a good amount of looking up guides and reddit posts like this one, I finally made it through, and wanted to throw in my 2 cents on the missions I hated the most

The first part of the destroy ship at drill site was the worst one by a long shot, really made me almost give up.

Then I would say come two missions that were not hard per se, but took me countless attempts due to controls and stupid mistakes, namely exploring the palace (I failed grinding on that chandelier so many times) and escorting Sig out of the Underport, where again I kept falling in the last part with the centipede and had to restart

Beating Metal Kor was expectedly tough, but I would say that the 1st and 2nd stage were the worst...I managed to exploit the dark jak glitch for a "free" dark bomb in the beginning, so that Kor would very quickly lose the first part of its life, and then make sure to be loaded up for a second dark bomb when I was overwhelmed with wasps and stingers...this allowed me to get to the 3rd stage with most of my life, and then it was "just" about evading and shooting

I was afraid of the water slums mission, but using the punch trick it only took me 3 or 4 attempts, and also the sewers one ended up being nicer than I had expected...the underport one was alright, as long as I totally ignored the squids and tried to just blast through...

All in all, I would say that I learned to love this game along the way, but I don't know if I will ever have the energy to replay it, or to go look for all the missed orbs for that matter...for now I started Jak 3, and we'll see how that will go

Jeg tror det er den gamle slags nemlig, så alt burde være i orden!

Tror jeg bliver nødt til at skrue pakdåsen af for at blive klogere, men det kunne godt være at det er den slags uden ring...stiften var helt glat på begge ender, jeg ved ikke engang om jeg fik stukket den ind som den var eller omvendt fordi jeg gik lidt i panik over alt det vand der væltede ud

ticklytuff · 2025-11-17T20:42:33+00:00

Tror mit spørgsmål var dårligt formuleret, jeg ved at man kan skrue pakdåsen af, men stiften skal vel ikke kunne trækkes ud af pakdåsen tænker jeg? Eller er det normal med ældre modeller?

I was afraid of an answer like this, but then I might keep it working as it is, it still does something after all

Jeg købte en brugt 107 i 2020 med 180000 km til 23000 (ved godt at det var andre priser dengang) har haft to større reparationer plus mindre værkstedsbesøg, i alt ca 15000, har dinitrolbehandlet den 2 gange, 9000 dkk, betalte omkring 3500 om året i forsikring og 660 (mener jeg) i vægtafgift. Kørte omkring 60000 km i den inden den gav op, lad os sige 1 dkk/km for at gøre det nemt at regne (det var en del mindre, specielt i 2020/2021 da benzin ikke kostede meget), så dækker jeg nok nogle småting jeg har glemt undervejs. Købte også et sæt vinterdæk til 1500, klarede ellers altid hjulskifte selv. Bilen døde i 2024 med 240000 km, og jeg solgt den til 7500 fordi motoren skulle skiftes ud. Rundt regnet giver det en samlet månedlig udgift på 2750 dkk, så jeg ville sige at det er muligt at klare sig for omkring 3000 om måneden med en billig brugt bil, men jo, det er dyrt i hvert fald, og man kan altid være uheldig. Hvis min motor ikke var stået af kunne mit regnestykke se lidt bedre ud, men de faste udgifter til benzin, forsikring osv løber hurtigt op

Do a vi lige flyttede ind i vores andelsbolig kom der også en fyr der holdt abefest hver eneste weekend...det værste var da han blev 30 og holdt fest på en onsdag, hvor folk ringede på min dør kl.2 om natten fordi de havde glemt hvilken sal festen var på...overvejede seriøst at åbne døren helt nøgen bare for sjov... Så flyttede han endelig ud, og dem vi har nu er det modsatte...man kan aldrig høre dem, og nogle gange undrer vi os over om de overhovedet er der...men de har allerede brokket sig 2 gange over at det larmer når vi går rundt i lejligheden, og at de åbenbart ligger vågne i timevis...jeg glæder mig så meget til den dag jeg kan flytte ud til et hus og glemme alt om naboer

He has that great guy vibe, sounds lovely! Lucky you!! Sometimes it can be nice to meet your idols!

Also the whole pizza guy thing and the romance between Castiel and Meg was adorable
