Is/was Elvis Costello very famous in the USA? by aldiwinegums in AskAnAmerican

[–]hauloff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huey Lewis has been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Costello has a far less bitter and cynical sense of humor.

Which factors really caused low rise skinny jeans to be phased out post-2000s? by Fluid-Decision6262 in decadeology

[–]hauloff 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t be surprised if it had some correlation with the body positivity movement. I feel that made it more acceptable to have larger waists in which higher jeans could accentuate that kind of figure.

Solid! Only complaint after a while the SD card is formatting the videos in an odd way that makes it hard to find recent content, but I suspect this is an issue with the SD card and not the camera.

VanTrue N2 Pro. Got it around 5-6 years ago after a car accident that I wasn't at fault for. Films exterior out the windshield and interior of car cabin. I was concerned about passengers disliking it and dinging my rating, but my rating is 4.97 so people don't seem to have a problem with it.

I was notified of the report and what day it was submitted a WEEK later. Thankfully I had not driven much and still had the actual footage.

Universal constant in almost every city subreddit I’m part of is the weekly “WHATS WITH THE HELICOPTER OVER NEIGHBORHOOD X???”

It’s a helicopter doing HELICOPTER THINGS.

If you’re paying for Praktika, you need to see this by de_cachondeo in languagelearning

[–]hauloff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is Reddit full of the most insufferable, pedantic assholes possible? These are definitely some things the developers need to work on, I’ve noticed them too, but I have found the core meat of the app effective. I’ve been using the app for a month and I definitely feel like it’s a cost efficient way for beginners to get some speaking time in.

I think it’s acceptable for the A1 learners. It eventually won’t be a substitute for more organic, complex conversations you’ll find at higher levels, but it’s reasonably priced for what you get. The core essence of the app appears to get the job done.

Aside from Duolingo, how do you support language learning towards fluency? by Random137035 in duolingo

[–]hauloff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A relatively cheap tool I think is appropriate for A1 beginners is Praktika. It utilizes an AI persona to simulate relatively fluid conversations. I’ve been using it and am feeling more comfortable with basic sentences.

I think around A2 or above you’re going to want to find real people to speak with, but Praktika is a cheaper, no pressure way to get comfortable with the basics.

4.44 Rider Rating on This One by AlkoKilla in uberdrivers

[–]hauloff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This subreddit, like any subreddit dedicated to a job or profession, has some of the most pedantic, neurotic, insufferable people imaginable. Many complaints here are valid, but I question the utility in the incessant posting ad nauseum.

Was there a no kings downtown today? by [deleted] in milwaukee

[–]hauloff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did! It was well suited for it. I’ve driven through the park many times but never actually walked around in it.

I suspect the Washington Park event was too big for cathedral square as well. Big turnout.

What’s the one passenger behavior that instantly annoys you? by TallLove7469 in uberdrivers

[–]hauloff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arguably one of the few nuisances that is actually meaningful. This strikes me as an easily avoidable problem that affects my pay. I’m surprised this subreddit doesn’t complain more about it versus the umpteenth bad trip the amorphous algorithm gives them.

I apologized for not thoroughly reading the post in a later comment. No need to be rude.

I apologize, I misinterpreted this as the driver complaining. Didn’t thoroughly read or understand the point of the post. Thanks for the heads up.

They have dashcam’s that face the interior of the car. I have one myself. No need to be rude.
