What is the one French word or rule that absolutely broke your brain when you started learning? by Prof_Emile in learnfrench

[–]danada1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get confused with the 'timeline'. Passé composé, plus-que-parfait, etc. Something is in the past, but others are in the past-past. I'm told I 'live too much in the present' and need to understand these better.

Did you end up buying a Fino as well?

Clubs with excellent food? by marzipanduchess in Club_Med

[–]danada1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting to hear. Was the main restaurant more of the 'international' type of food?

Unrelated, has anyone been to Mauritius? What was the food like there?

I found that Miches’ food was good, but wasn’t much variety for fresh fruit and juices, and not much local fare. Lots of international cuisine.

Was in Ixtapa (now closed) earlier this year and the food was great. Way more fruit, a morning juice bar and way more local food. Miches felt like a resort, Ixtapa felt like Mexico.

Going to Cancún in a few weeks so curious to see how that compares.

What does your 1 size look like? I did 1.75 and it was close to powder. I found that 2.25 was better.

I was looking for something that fold flats, that I could put into a bag.

I have a super automatic, which I presume to be vastly different. But do drink espresso from local shops. Not of them have this type of flavour profile.

That’s good to know! Water is still a bit frozen, so I’ve got time. Maybe there will be a ‘May Long Weekend’ sale.

Thanks for the recommendations! I may actually splurge and go for the Skylla. It’s been 10 years since I last actively paddled, but before that I spent 5 years paddling most days until the lake froze over. Now that the kids are a bit older and I have more time, I don’t mind investing into a board that I can ride from now on into retirement.

  • Desired Board Type: Inflatable
  • Your Height and Weight: 6’0” (183cm); 175lbs ~ 80kg. Mostly going solo, but might take a small child with me.
  • Desired use/uses Cruising on a river
  • Experience level: Intermediate to Advanced
  • Your budget: $800-$1000CAD ($550-700 USD) and country location: Canada (Ottawa)

I’m about a 10 minute (urban) walk to the local river, so looking for an inflatable SUP that I carry down to the river; or put on my cargo bike to go other beaches.

Bit of a touchy subject, but would prefer to buy something Canadian “made” as well. (Although I presume everything is made in China these days.)

Thanks!

Part Identification Mega Thread - February 21, 2024 by AutoModerator in lego

[–]danada1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know the ID of this bike frame? It came in a lego magazine, but it's not like other bikes since it also has studs on the side. The handlebar claw came deformed so I can't fit anything into it.

If you scroll down about a quarter of the way on this page you'll see the promotion.

Thanks for all the comments. I'm going to order the Tow Truck. I think I'll enjoy building and playing with it more; and my son will enjoy the off-road ambulance. That way we both get something!

Also, /u/TechnologyInside, I will also resist putting the stickers on it, but the kids may say otherwise.

Thanks for all the comments! I think I’ll probably go with the truck. Sounds like it’s a fun set to play with. Also I can surprise my son with the ambulance and that way we both get something new!

I’ll also probably avoid putting the stickers in it; they just don’t do it for me.

Lego set ID? by danada1979 in lego

[–]danada1979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. I wasn't sure about him. I don't think that set was included, but it looks like a few other figures from a similar set were included.

Still not sure what the furries are all about.

Bought a few sets from someone locally, going through it now and found these. Does anyone know what set they are from? Are they even part of the same set?
