  • They did not mean the ships become green energy ship, they meant the ships would no longet be sailing at all because we don't need to ship the coal etc.

    Also, brrak the larger ships down into several sailing ships. Infinite small sailing ships would be more green than one large fuel burning ship.

  • Literally everything he says is a lie.

  • FWIW, Joplin has plug ins that let you use other services for sync. I use One Drive, but I think like, Box, Dropbox etc work. It can be set to encrypt everything before uploading.

  • So they only accept todo items in German.

  • I started playing Transformers Earthspark Expedition this week. Its not a fancy game but its been pretty fun. Its maybe a ten hour game though to 100%.

  • Oh yeah. Its been a while since I had the whole like/love etc words but if I recall they pushed gustar (probably) aslike, but later uzed it in way that suggested like, "I love it more than anything."

    Like maybe don't imply it means simply "like".

  • 🤡🤡

  • I also feel like a lot of the critisism of Duo really, I dunno, miss the purpose? Of Duo entirely. Or just language learning.

    Especially as someone who isn't young.

    Duo is not going to make anyone fluent. No single program or method will. It also isn't, for most people, something that will make you educated in a language in a day or a week or a year, or probably ten. Nothing short of total immersial will do that.

    It also feelslike, based on how critics talk, like they go into Duo trying to learn with a method of like, "Manzana is Apple, Hola is Hello" etc. Instead of doing with a mindset of "Manzana is a round red fruit" and "Hola is a friendly greeting."

    Basically complaints feel like they come from someone who just, expected way more out of it than its trying to do.

    Also, lesrning to speak a lamguage with any app really is not going to work, once again, it needs immersion. But that that does not make the app bad.

    That said, I have used Duo for mamy years now, across several languages, Spanish, Norwegian, Japanese, and I tried the math, chess and music. Its honestly, not as good as it used to be, but I blame the stupid hearts/energy for that. For a while Inwas using the "fake classroom" trick to get unlimited play, but they stopped that with the update in mid 2025. This biggest problem with these energy systems is that they punish mistakes. For learning lamguage, mistakes are going to happen, a lot, and punishing mistakes is very bad for progress. At some point, just as you might be stumbling but "getting it", suddenky, you can't try anymore, because you run out of energy.

    I also hate how it punishes using, gramatically weird but correct phrasing (in English), that more closely matches the structure of the target language. Because its helpful for learning the struxture of the target lamguage to do the answer in a similar gramatic structure in your known language.

    Also, they are really bad about using sysnonyms for some words when more nuanced translations would be better. The one really easy one is translating "Me Llamo Ramen" to "My name is Ramen". When its actually "I am called Ramen". Or probably better, "They call me Ramen". " Me nombre es Ramen" would be "My name is Ramen". It seems "nitpicky" but later llamo is used in relation to call/calling, and being consistent would be better for learning. Also, based on my anectodotal moments, a lot of non English use the "I am called...." structure of speaking.

  • $10/month more expensive than just using a mobile phone?

  • I was just making a joke about an ICE powered engine. IE Solidified water.

    But hey, maybe it could be some sort of reverse steam.engine where the cold air falls down over the turbine instead hot steam rising.

  • I am.saying they maybe didn't tolorate their assholes living so long and killed them before they became President of the US etc.

    Meanwhile, our collective pascifist asses let our assholes roam free and even went back to beg for more after a few years.

  • She is a Betazoid, can't she just sort of, constantly push calm vibes at him?

  • Yeah but there is a chance even with the tariffs its more affordable.

  • What if we find a way to power vehicles with solidified water? Some sort of Cold Fission.

  • If anything, our assholes outlivng theirs show we are more peqceful, because maybe they also had a type of asshole who got off on hilling assholes for the good of the peaceful group.

  • I miss Thac0 because its fun to say.

    Thay-co. THAYE-Coooo

  • LOL, what does that even mean. That explanation has propaganda nonsense painted all over it.

  • Yeah, there was a point where it talks about how larger women can't buy straight legged pants, but I imagine there is data that shows that they just don't. Plus I imagine after some larger waist size, the hips and thighs just, no long "work" in straight legged pants.
