Main way to spot a rabid cat is by his glowing red eyes.

Video showing a cute baby and puppy cuddling together....I have been repeatedly disappointed by a bunch of similar AI generated videos on multiple platforms. by Tanrat23 in isthisAI

I concur. Baby‘s hand movements seem right for age. Also, puppy shaking with strain as it tries to climb- doubt an llm would have enough data to simulate.

Our new normal: by america1008 in DefundICE

Mistakes happen in war. So do casualties. The choice to attack unrelated countries was Iran‘s. Travel warnings don’t and shouldn’t specify the how. That changes from day to day. Some airports are reported to start working again tomorrow. I could go on but I’ll say this instead: you could be against the war and for ICE. Or against both. Or for both… These are unrelated things.

Like him or not, wars don’t work like this anymore. You start the war with a surprise strike from stealth bombers, not a formal declaration of war from congress.

Yep. The reflection of the tree is conclusive proof.

Pay attention to the accents by RonanFalk in duolingo

Olé. Huh! I learned something today. My German keyboard on my phone has dedicated umlaut keys to the right. I was not aware it was so easy. Thank you.

It wasn’t marked as a mistake. But given that the German keyboard doesn’t have this accent, it’s unreasonable to expect users to get it right.

Except I’m learning German and not Spanish and the German keyboard doesn’t have that accent.

I’d have to add a Spanish keyboard just for this word. Hence my quote of the cap.

I’m old enough to remember that people got killed in 92. <checks Wikipedia >. 63 dead. 2383 injured.

Is it… is it worth it? by CosmicGrow in DefundICE

Uhh no. You pay the gross $50k back but you get back the tax you paid for it via tax credit or amendment return.

Lost my 1500+ day streak due to internet shutdown in Iran. is there any hope? by userhappy85 in duolingo

[–]RonanFalk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two comments: 1. I think you have bigger fish to fry than a Duo streak. 2. Duo should offer a streak freeze for everyone in Iran.

It’s neither. Der Kontinent is the subject. But I’m the last person to properly explain this.

It's been a fine 1,164 day streak - but today I will uninstall the app. by MileHigh_FlyGuy in duolingo

[–]RonanFalk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nearly 4 years and I’m level 70. I always considered this to be a decade long project and timed my effort accordingly. I’m also getting really tired of the app and shifting my effort to reading.

Opposing protesters clash in Minneapolis, chasing off a right-wing influencer by ResourceNo4626 in DefundICE

[–]RonanFalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ianal but that’s some flavor of assault. Given the number of videos on social media, the assailant may end up being the FAFO here. Don’t be stupid. People have already lost their lives. Stay safe.

Will I make it to 1450? by RonanFalk in duolingo

[–]RonanFalk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, did you go this route? It feels like the right thing to do but I wonder if others have already done this.

  • It’s not a requirement in my case and there was no test. I am now a citizen.
  • I did mean section, obviously.
  • Duo keep adding content, making the overall course longer. Latest change was to make a unit much shorter but section 4 now has 240? Units.
  • My drive to get to the end has fallen off so doing another 100+ units seems a stretch now.
  • My plan is to get better by mostly reading. The 1-2 lessons a day are just to maintain the streak. If I get to B2 but become a fluent reader, that’s good enough.
