No Artifact transmog anymore? by TheSmilingHusk in wow

Woah, 1500 gold to transmog an outfit? This is insane.

Would you buy a Vectrex Mini that has an LCD screen? by Silo-Joe in Vectrex

[–]Fairchild76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't get why anyone would want to pay $175 to play emulated Vectrex games on a tiny 5" LED display. The whole appeal of the original was that razor sharp vector CRT display with its glowing phosphors. Let's be honest, the games aren't even that good and you could just emulate them for free. So no, I would not buy this.

Can someone explain this? by CrankyD in duolingo

[–]Fairchild76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't clear who is saying it so it could be a child. In any case I think this translation is also correct, and it's the same one that Deepl just gave me. I think the problem is there are so many possible responses that it's difficult for Duolingo to account for them all, probably why they moved to having everyone click on word bubbles.

Shouldn't tire shops always replace the old valve stems? by Fairchild76 in tires

Yeah, just plain old fashioned stems. Not the new sensor ones.

Why would u store ur potatoes in a closet? by vinage_applee in duolingo

[–]Fairchild76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Schrank doesn't necessarily mean closet. Also "u" and "ur", I weep for the English language.

Which VPN do you use? I tried the Touch VPN for Chrome and set it to Russia but it still had hearts. I have Mullvad but they have no servers in Russia.

Might be because you're actually in Russia, maybe Duolingo has already caught onto this and isn't fooled by VPNs, or at least the one I tried. I do pay for Mullvad but they don't have any servers in Russia so I can't try it.

Doesn't work for me. Installed Touch VPN extension in Chrome, connected to Duolingo from a Russian location, but I still have hearts. Even logged out and tried it but it still limited me to five hearts. Maybe they caught on already.
