English vs Spanish days of the week comparison is interesting.
Day of the sun - Day of the Lord
Day of the moon - Day of the moon
Day of Týr - Day of Mars
Day of Woden - Day of Mercury
Day of Thor - Day of Jupiter
Day of Freyr - Day of Venus
Apparently Spanish can imply the can/could mode without needing a dedicated modal verb.
After doing a sleep study I have learned that I probably do not have sleep apnea. I just snore loud.
Yo nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 something pretty wrong seems to be going on with my threads account, nostr:npub1p7hw49dq5e8rlt5zq0yjz5vedxvexzxq3ayf2g0l9wwe4ywq38hqj3zwh0
It seems to be reposting tons of random posts which I have not reposted myself and have no control over. Maybe a bug.
All on the nostr.coinfund.app relay.

I’m getting the vibe that ‘ser’ is more of a powerhouse word than ‘estar’
My first thought is that the self is not an illusion! I will watch later and get back to you.
Sometimes, if I’m not sure, I will keep removing parts of the url and testing it in the browser until it doesn’t work. Then I add that part back and use the link that way.
Any recommendations for websites to help learn Spanish grammar? I’m looking for reference material not guided learning.
Spanish direct object pronoun placement is dubious…
I would love custom algos/feeds that have a scoring threshold that is so high that maybe only 10 posts make it into the feed a day.
When I check this hypothetical feed, I would expect to come to the end of it rather quickly.
There are two parts to my strategy to learning Spanish: loading my neural nets with training data and learning grammar models to apply to that material. Sort of a bottom-up + top-down approach.
Another thing I'm gonna need to get straight is the difference between the words 'ser' and 'estar' in Spanish, where in English we only have the word 'to be'. My understanding of this is that 'ser' is for more "permanent" characteristics while 'estar' is for more "temporary" characteristics.
Will learning new verbal paradigms allow be to see the world differently?
A review of English verbs...
We have three main "tenses"
- past: uses -ed ending in simple tense
- present:
- future: uses 'will' modal verb
And four main "aspects"
- simple:
- perfect: uses 'to have' verb and -ed ending
- progressive: uses 'to be' verb and -ing ending
- perfect progressive. uses both 'to have' and 'to be' verbs and -ing ending
Beyond this, the sugar is in how the 'to have' and 'to be' verbs are inflected.
Sadly Spanish is very much not 1:1 with this system.
Going to Honduras in early May. Speedrun to learn Spanish starts now.
Do I have to do something special to squeeze a threads post into nostr? I’ve entered the fediverse beta on threads but only my profile has made it to nostr, no posts.
Is primal vc funded or what’s the deal there?
Snow in March.
