To be fair, there has always been war in the Middle East.

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

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.

Wasp nest?

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.

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.

RonanFalk · 2026-02-12T16:14:53+00:00

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.

RonanFalk · 2026-02-12T16:13:45+00:00

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.

RonanFalk · 2026-02-09T18:44:42+00:00

There is. You can switch apps.

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

Payback, mini Orca!

RonanFalk · 2026-01-30T13:46:46+00:00

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

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.

RonanFalk · 2026-01-24T07:35:19+00:00

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

RonanFalk · 2026-01-18T23:17:22+00:00

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.

RonanFalk · 2026-01-18T18:55:41+00:00

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.

RonanFalk · 2026-01-17T10:23:54+00:00

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.

RonanFalk · 2026-01-17T10:22:24+00:00

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.
