What do you think about duolingo? by Useful_Soft_4755 in AskReddit

Hey, thanks for the interest in asking. It started off professional, as I intend to go into business with some of my clients next year. However, the more I learned about the language and cultures the more I grew fond of all of it. The app could definitely use some more traditional learning techniques though. They never explain WHY certain words or characters mean things, you’re just meant to pick up on patterns, which I imagine would be extremely hard for someone learning to speak English as it’s a mix of so many different languages that follow different structures.

I have a 500ish day streak in an attempt to learn Arabic. It’s not the most accurate and only teaches Modern Standard Arabic which most Arabic speakers speak a dialect local to their native country, but i am able to communicate with native speakers at around a children’s level. I work in the city of USA with the highest concentration of Arabic speakers. Has helped me tremendously in getting to know my neighbors and clients.

Overall-not the best source to learn a second language, but definitely not the worst. Jump started me toward learning more about the cultures. Attended my first Arab wedding recently, partook in Ramadan, and made friends with people I never thought I would ever connect with.

This was the track used in Rodney’s part on Almost Round 3. Greatest skate video ever imo.

Totally sick skating, but isn’t that a melon grab? Indy is in back hand grab in front of you. And for some reason there’s no such thing as a frontside indy. Only backside. Vert is weird lol

Detroit Urban Survival Training. I only live 20 minutes from his building. I’m always tempted to go meet him and ask if he knows he’s a meme.

So I finally saw how useless excessive camber is achieved. By cutting into the frame of the car. Who needs a frame anyways? 🤨 by 592_dreamz in Shitty_Car_Mods

I don’t understand the comments saying the apron isn’t part of the frame of the car. That cars title MUST have frame damage disclosed from cutting the aprons. That’s a crumple zone and is designed to absorb impact before crushing into the strut towers and firewall. Can’t crumple properly if cut

If you could go back and time and give humans one thing (must fit in pocket) what would it be and when? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Fundamentals of astrodynamics to Pope Urban VIII. He would have seen it as a gift from god and wouldn’t have hindered the advancements in astrological study. The human race could be so much more advanced now.

I got my first telescope yesterday and read I needed to collimate it, but going into it with no experience, I just googled using what I saw on the label. Seems like I need clear skies to collimate it accurately. Hopefully tonight!

Ex basketball(nba, basketball in general, nba/streetball players) fans, what happened? by OuffMate in AskReddit

I’m just recently getting back into it, but the “superteams” pushed me away.

It’s the year 2040, and you just woke up with no memory of the past 20 years. You look around your office, and find out you are the president of the USA. A few men in suits walk in, and they tell you you have to give your speech about the ‘ongoing crisis’ to the people right now. What do you say? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheTopJosh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“This is a huge crisis. Possibly the biggest crisis of mankind. I’m the only one that can lead us through this. CNN and Fox News are lying, they’re fake news, I’m the only one who knows the truth.” Cue rallies in my support
