So what you're saying is..my user name is snitching on myself?

See the whole "invading a sovereign nation and kidnapping it's leader" could make a lot more sense as a heavily slurred order for "McDonalds" that was then tragically misinterpreted as "Maduros" but we all know the only culture in the White House lives RFK's armpits.

I care about star field animations friend. Good work on making it work!

So if I was going to correct you by referencing the thermodynamic law that forbids "never stopping" but upon further inspection determined that was the joke in the first place, does that mean I have created an example of the zeroth law?

I'm just dipping my toes into the water with German via Anki and Goethe Institutes' A1-Deutsch app.

Last night I briefly tried to find a simple grammar primer/textbook. Found a candidate or two but hoped to find some guidance here on Lemmy, so excellent post timing!

Sunflower, hopefully

Excellent, I've just acquired Schenke and will incorporate it into my studying, danke!

The Cornelsen book sounds perfect! Pencil to paper reinforcement is key for my learning style so 'graduating' to that once I wrap my head around A1 makes a lot of sense. I'll digitally 'acquire' that one as well and put my recently refurbished, 10+ year old Rotring pencil to work on the blank medium Leuchtturm 'journal' I never started. (Can you tell I have an appreciation for German craftsmanship and engineering?)

I've been taking steps towards leaving America to work and/or study abroad. Learning a new language, especially via self-directed study, has been a very intimidating step. These resources will go a long way in helping me tackle it. I very much appreciate your guidance.

I'm just starting on German. I'm primarily using Goethe Institute's A1-Deutsch app but I'd like an English resource covering grammar too.

I'm not sure whether studying via sentence completion and conversational examples is the most efficient way for my learning style. I think explicitly studying grammar would simultaneously assist in building vocabulary and proper usage. Any suggestions for a grammar primer?

I have an Anki deck but feel as if my lack of a grammatical foundation puts me at a disadvantage with it. I need to learn a bit more about the back-end/theoretical basis for how it works; perhaps that poor understanding is getting in the way as well.

Well I mean...he's not in the ground yet. He won't be doing any fucking himself, but he could still get fucked.

This is probably the 5th or 6th time I've mentioned this album in the past two weeks, but the Panopticon album Kentucky is about the coal miners in Harlan County.
