What would be a nice bar, cafe, club etc. to play some chess?
Meaning it is allowed to play there, has nice tables, is maybe not extremely busy or even had some history as a chess place. Preferably around k5 but anywhere in the city works too
Hi there was the excellent jean michel jarre concert some years ago after the incheba expo - will there be something similar this year?
What wine did you have best success with in your bolognese sauce? Not accompanying it but cooking with it (the famous “1 cup of wine” in the recipe)
I just started experimenting recently and really liked the “bromeus nero d’avola” - it’s from Sicily tho
Hi all this is a thing that I’m wondering about for some time: are there tell tale signs how to find out what Slavic language you are dealing with?
Are there special words, letters or sounds that could help on sort of a decision tree to single out or pinpoint a specific language?
Like in a situation where you meet a random person, listen to them talk and in your head you are going “ok, they are saying this, but they used that sound so it’s not polish…” and so on
Let me start, maybe things get clearer:
I would say the easiest one is “ř” - if the person says the “ř” sound in every second sentence, the language must be CZECH (ř is “r” sound with a “sh” sound simultaneously)
…with the caveat that (AFAIK) only Polish uses a similar sound, but it’s more “r” and “sh” sequentially (i hope I’m not saying anything wrong here…)
How would we continue?
My two kindles don’t want to uodate page position - while my kindle apps on iOS do!!
Also i can see the kindles downloading all my highlights, but they just don’t jump to the latest position - it’s infuriating
So far i
- deregistered both
- hard resetted (40 sec button push)
- toggled whispersynch
Everything is great on the ups apps but nothing works on the kindles
What us left to try?
