Work / How is the Warsaw job opportunities for international students? [43]

This stupid caste system they have in India, forbids the laborer (the lowest caste, the 'untoachables') to even touch anyone in higher caste.

One time I had a pleasure of working with a guy from India. He was a newbe engineer that thought that picking up a 'scope probe was below him. It was a technician's job.

I can't imagine hiring and international student from India, obviously a higher caste, to clean anyone's house.

Love / A Polish womans relationship with her mother in law. [44]

it's not about his past offenses. It's about her willingness to bring them up. I could not imagine a scenario where I would list my son's past mistakes to prove a point. This was not a healthy relationship between a mother and a son to start with. The mother tried to enlist the wife to her side and got told: "he's my husband". Good for them!

The son might not have the balls to stand up to his mother, that's why he comes up with the lame excuses, but at least he tries to keep his wife away.

Sorry, lady, when you put your problems up on the forum for an inspection, you might hear opinions you'll not like.

Love / A Polish womans relationship with her mother in law. [44]

It looks to me like he does not want to hear you talking rubbish about pot bancrupting him, the murder of your first granchild, or him passing venerial disease. Your son figured out that you have a way of using what you know against him, and would prefer you not know anything else about his life. This has nothing to do with the wife, unless he was too blind to see and she had to point that out to him. You should hope that she helps him get over the past and remember, guilt is one powerful tool in mother's toolbox you should never use. You will only push him further away.

to me, it loosly means that not everything goes both ways, or, not always the reverse is true. It's a play on words, based on the fact that "to cover" and "elephant" sound the same in Polish.

the theory is that the PIC deliberately flew under the "glidepath", trying to spot the runway in the fog, that's why he ignored the TAWS. The problem was that they apparently did not take under the consideration the large dip in the terrain.

I'm still a bit puzzled by the rad alt readings: 100, 90, 80... With the terrain, I expected them to be less uniform.

It would make sense if the 100m reading was when they were over lowest part of the dip.
And Unknown, prezumably Błasik, paying attantion to altimeter readings... poor man probably knew they were in a mess before anyone else..
And why, for Christ's sake, were they not engaging tower more??

Life / Awkward Polish dinner party conversations with 'patriots' ... [25]

What I do in these situations, is not argrue generalities, but steer the discussion to particulars like policies, events, situations. Even the biggest 'patriots' know that not EVERYTHING is better in Poland. If you wisely conceed some points, they will start conceeding some too, and before you know it they'll be back to the usual kwetching about everything.
