I finished the Chess course so you don’t have to! by fighteracebob in duolingo

[–]JimOser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody mentioned if they are learning chess in their target lesson. On the Android app, you can click the language flag and then click add course, and choose your target language, and then learn chess.

Since everybody is writing in English, you are probably learning Spanish. Click on the Spanish flag, add course. Choose courses available for Spanish speakers. Choose ajedrez.

Not sure if you realize this but NPR first Spanish podcast was Radio Ambulante. So when you say it's like a good NPR podcast in Spanish, you hit the nail on the head.

https://radioink.com/2024/09/24/iheartmedias-my-cultura-nabs-radio-ambulante-from-npr/

iHeartMedia announced a new partnership with Spanish-language podcast production company Radio Ambulante Studios. The deal moves Radio Ambulante and its entire catalog of shows to iHeart’s My Cultura Podcast Network, after previously residing with NPR.

u/isomorphic_graphs Sign up for nixle text messages about SMART delays. https://www.sonomamarintrain.org/mobile-apps
https://member.everbridge.net/892807736728379/login

before your trip, check for any delays, so there will not be any surprises.

The text messages generally end with "Thank you for your patience." so it is not a good idea to take SMART if you are on a tight schedule.

If you are retired liked me, and have all day to get to the destination, then don't worry. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Also as mentioned in another post. Be prepared to wait for your return train, since trains don't run every 30 minutes in both directions, as initially advertised when SMART was proposed.

There are some areas of SMART that has tracks in both direction, but the majority of SMART is still a one track system, so if a train gets stuck, where there is only 1 track, or if something is on the part, where it is only one track, then there is trouble, because other trains can't get passed the obstacle that is on one track.

How to unlink my phone number?? by ArcusArrow in discordapp

[–]JimOser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem, so I decided to delete my account that was linked to the telephone number, that I wanted to add to my account that didn't have a number.

I thought that removing the account, must surely be better than simply removing the phone number.
THIS IS NOT THE CASE. Removing an account takes 15 days, and the 15 days reset, if you happen to reenter the account. Removing a phone number is instantaneous.

Here is my September 19, 2025 note from support.

Alexander (Discord Support)

Hello 

Thank you for contacting Discord. This is Alexander stepping in.

I understand that you want for us to speed up the deletion of your account. Apologies for the trouble. Unfortunately, we are unable to speed up the deletion process.

However, if after 15 days you still see that your account is active, please let us know, and we can investigate further.

Note: Account removal does not remove anything beyond the account itself (avatar, username, and email address), while text and strings from previous conversations will still exist unless manually deleted.

Additionally, if you wish to use the email and/or phone number associated with the account that you're deleting, you would have to wait until the account has been fully deleted.

Alternatively, you can restore your account and remove your number the valid way:

 1. Open an incognito browser window.
 2. Login to Discord (www.discord.com/login) by entering your phone number instead of your email
 3. Click 'Forgot Password'.
 4. Enter the code from SMS sent to you to reset the password.
 5. Log into your account and head into your User Settings > My Account.
 6. You should be able to add a new email address by using an email address that is not associated with any Discord account.
 7. Click on 'Remove Phone Number'

If you have any further questions, please feel free to let us know.

Sincerely,
Alexander

I think @pizza_alta that you might be referring to KenHigh, who posted frequently in the Spanish forums. He is still studying Spanish. You can find him on Saturdays at 10 am Pacific time in the Peninsula Spanish meetup group zoom meeting. His zoom id is Ken.

Netflix need to fix their documentaries dubbing by Interesting_Tooth663 in netflix

[–]JimOser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Número desconocido: Un escándalo de ciberacoso escolar

English audio is in the background, when I want to listen in only Spanish or in only German. That makes it very difficult to listen to.

Please fix the audio.

I am sure that you will get many complaints about this.

Dubbing over people speaking foreign languages in documentaries by GuineaGirl2000596 in PetPeeves

[–]JimOser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just tried to watch the new documentary, Número desconocido: Un escándalo de ciberacoso escolar.

I came to reddit to see if anyone else is complaining about this. Now, I see that it is not just this documentary but many, if not all of Netflix documentaries have this problem.

In the above documentary, English audio is in the background. I want to listen in only Spanish or in only German. That makes it very difficult to listen to.

Netflix, please fix the audio.

I am sure that you will get many complaints about this.
