I thought in Poland they are called: ''Nalešniki''? So now I'm confused.
Actually, I KNOW in Poland these are called ''Nalešniki'' because I used to eat them in pancake restaurants called ''Nalešnikarne''... the most notable for me being ''Nalešnikarna Fanaberia'' in ''Svietojanska'' (St. John's) street in Gdinya.
Sorry if I didn't write ''Nalešniki'' 100% correcu, but... I use slavic phonetics, so...
That is actually for the whole Yugoslavian area. To pronounce this correctly in english, one would have to write it like this: ''Pallachincka'' (singular) or ''Pallachincke'' (plural)... and greetings to all ''Palačinke'' lovers (had to scroll quite a while to find the comment, but I knew there had to be one...good job). :D
THIS. This is not being communicated enough.
The issue is the new(er) generations think they have discovered something never seen before, all the while truth being - the only new thing is the way people are being manipulated into investing in trickster scheme.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have been there when internet was born. We have witnessed it and we have learned from our mistakes. It is not you who are smarter, it is us knowing not to buy tulips.
Does it not mean Portuguese-Brasilian (Portuguese)?
And it is a Google translate add-on... or am I wrong?
Have you visited ''Ukraine'' on lemmy? No need to go to reddit.
I still play this a lot... and it is wonderful every time. 😊
This is underrated comment. XD
I literally did not buy/straightout refused to buy new Golf because of this crap. It does not get simpler than that: other producer got my money, VW group did not. Period.
Volkswagen should be forbidden to produce anything. There were even touch-SLIDE commands on the steering wheel. God only knows how many lives were lost in accidents, because someone ''touched'' something and switched something off or on. Horrible.
Yes, the tech on board is as cheap as it can possibly get. These are no state of the art ships. Nobody builds that for commercial transport. Some parts are even from dismantled ships... salvaged. I once, personally, took apart a 30 years old switch on a brand new ship (we were the second crew... ever).
However, crew shortages are DISASTEROUS today.
Let us take clear example of one crew complement of 14 people (this is just illustrative):
14 people / 2 departments (deck + engine) = 7 people per department.
Deck: 1 captain + 1 officer + 1 cargo guy + 3 crewmembers + 1 cook
Engine: 1 chief engineer + 1 engineer + 5 crewmembers
And this complement means that Captain/officer and chief engineer/engineer are keeping 6 hours on-6 hours off watch... that is already A KILLER job. Imagine having 3-6 months contract on that regime... IF you come back home you are malnourished, destroyed, exhausted and deranged. Lack of rest and sleep literally drives you mad. Even when you can sleep, these small ships are rocking like the rolercoaster, so you are again f...d.
Then, for any mooring operation, you need all crew... so, no sleep again...
Cargo operation is a nightmare from hell.
I'm not even going to go into maintenance area... with this crew complement, one guy goes to the toilet, you are left without 30% of the manpower and anything that even could be done - is delayed (not that much can be done with 3-4 men).
Whoever allowed such a small crew complement (looking at you IMO and classification societies) has NEVER EVER been at sea and I wish them all nothing but sea service until the end of their miserable lives.
Terrible tragedy that one man got lost (crews are today mostly asian and many cannot swim).
It is a global crime that cargo freights are on the rise (constantly), but the crews and their salaries are reduced.
When you are so greedy that you want to maintain and operate 183m long vessel with just 14 crewmembers. The other is no better.
These are not big vessels, but the crew of 14 is deffinitely not enough. Fatigue sets in almost at the beginning of contract and by the end, you are EXHAUSTED. Literally.
It is wonder this hasn't happened before... oh wait...
If there is a damage more severe, more horriffic, more devastating than the nuclear bomb - it is a de(con)struction of (one countrie's) educational system.
There is no punishment appropriate enough for what these people did and are still doing.
The consequences of these actions are too severe to repair. Ever.
