Study / Studia niestacjonarne? (in Polish universities) [8]

Hmm from what I know that's exactly what they are, you study from friday to sunday. This allows people to work and study in the same time. In Poland they are usually easier ( they exclude lots of subjects from the full course ). Many times people who are not able to get into the normal course drop to "studia stacjonarne". Often degrees claimed during such courses are prized much less than the "full" counterpart.

Poland might be a bit too of a backwater country right now to introduce such things into early schooling system. High schooling - universities and polytechenics already use similar systems of remote education. If you're talking about public schools for kids they are full of old teachers who are gonna be hardly convinced to the new technology.

Take a look at healthcare, the NFZ electornic card system has been introduced only in Silesia it worked here several years already - it's better than it was and the project succeeded. Despite that most of Poland is still living by the old rules that allow favourism and bribery. I remember when the electronic patient card system was being introduced it was one big pain for all the medical staff, public and private alike - and it is still backward because of the faulty law in Poland - despite all the databases there's still order to keep all the data on paper, bollocks.

On the other hand it might be high time to start, I'm pretty sure there are single schools somewhere in Poland which have already implemented such system on their own.

Language / Is math in Polish different than in English? [59]

minus ('-')
plus ('+')
divide (' / ' or ' : ' )
multiply is usually just a black dot at half a height, sometimes people don't use the multiplay sign at all fi as in z = xy

cross product (' x ') - don't mistake that with multiply...
scalar product is a very small circle

I have some english math books and most of it is fairly the same, things like integrals and differentials too. If it's university math level it usually depends on the professor, some scientists have their own ways of doing things and in Poland they can decrease your marks in your tests if you use idiocrasies and semantics of their rivals.

Sorry, but it's not a valid source, it has been written by a Russian, he states different things without citing his sources - in a "my dad told me when I was small" fashion. I don't mind spitting on Poland, just try to come up with something better. Maybe an unbiased neutral third side?

Yes please, I'm quite curious. I'd like to see a good article about his mischievious citings.. surely somebody noticed it beside you?

There's a list of federal and administration archives in there, under the link there are 2 archives in Bonn, he could have called one of them federal. Don't get me wrong but it's all a bit too ocluded to cross him out, just because of a citing.

Life / Saw a girl in black openly smoking a spliff on a Katowice street today [49]


Me and my friends when we were in primary school we smoked some, and I've seen people buying them plenty of times. I smoked them because I liked different flavoures and I didn't like ciggarettes... I think I found it relaxing. Dunno if I could smoke them again I'm not a tobacco smoker anymore...


Yeah.. but I always though glass pipes were better because you could inhale more smoke and early on when kids didn't have much money it was more expensive to roll a pure one than stick a few small nuggets into the glass pipe. Hell I remember cutting up plastic bottles of different sizes to make a water - smoking device ;) that was all long before bongos started appearing in Poland..

Life / Saw a girl in black openly smoking a spliff on a Katowice street today [49]


Those are there for people who want to buy them same as tobacco - there's a wide choice of tobacco so there are buyers - there's tobacco packages in every newsagents and kiosk. Smoking tobacco in a join form is just as normal as smoking cigs and I have no idea what are you on about being so negative about it. Have a tobacco joint smoker done anything bad to you?


See, you're admitting that it is indeed possible, so I dunno what's the whole commotion about. Come down or you'll have a vein clogged up especially after those millions of joints you'd smoked. :)

Life / Saw a girl in black openly smoking a spliff on a Katowice street today [49]


Don't ask me, I'm not smoking them, but there's lots of such tobbaco shops that sell rolling paper and different tobbaco flavours, you can't deny that.

Just recalled a few things, some people don't like smoking with filters, and there's a bigger variety of flavours.. and some people just like the whole ceremony..


If you don't stuff a great amount of leaves in there and they are not gonna be sticking out it's really gonna be unrecognizable.. you either haven't seen a join or rolled up cig.


I had a thing for mint tobbaco "anything goes" but now I'm a non smoker ; )

Life / Saw a girl in black openly smoking a spliff on a Katowice street today [49]

Smoking tobbaco joint is exactly the same as smoking cigs, you just buy rolling paper in any tobbaco store just as random flavoured tobbaco - same tobbaco as in cigs.. and just make your own joints... they don't contain marihuana or any other weird drugs ( that is beside tobbaco ), hence I though she might have been smoking a normal self - made fag - they look exactly the same as marihuana joints...

You're wrong, it is legal to smoke a tabacco join... and that's exactly what I've said. Read again and get your facts straight.


Youth nowadays, will burn themselves sooner or later ; )

Smoking a joint isn't a crime it might have been a joint with some flavoured tabbaco.. and not pot or hash..

History / The Polish Blame Culture! [330]


but I did and I don't wanna go about which death toll was bigger and which was smaller and whoose cities were razed to the ground a bit more than others that would be kind of sad, to use such arguments... From people I know there's no one who would undermine GB's major role in the WW2 and its loss - although you can't blame some people who are not into history - I doubt you guys learn anything about polish battles and bombed cities just as we don't learn much about uk - beside the main event which is battle of britain...


As in some quote I forgot whose, everyone lost in WW2. As for who lost more - look at the level of wealth and living in those countries now - it's a simple answer.

Where did I blame anyone-, you're living in a dreamworld, wake up. You're adding stuff no one ever said, Self esteem issues ? I'd presume that if I were a farseer such as you. I might be going personal but I'm not taking some drivel from god knows where. Why do you bother to post about Poland and asking about it if you don't care? I guess your sole intention was to troll.

Why do you even bother to post without reading at least "WIKIPEDIA" for your own good, history knowledge.. and I though I'm gonna be getting through as an ignorant.

There are shops for campers and travelers like anywhere else, you can find stuff like this:

from this shop:

euro.com.pl/kuchenki-nastawne-i-turystyczne/campingaz-camping-duo-plus-cv.bhtml

Though after a short scanning through a several sites I have to say there are not many multi burner camper stoves.. most are single burner propan tanks..

Most run on propan butan and different mixtures of it but some may run on petrol so it's really important to be sure what the fuel you need is.
