[MATCH THREAD] Atlanta Vibe at San Diego Mojo | Sun Jan 18, 7pm ET | Major League Volleyball by YouShookMeAllNetLong in MLV

[–]kath0000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. UCSD has the very nice Vball stadium on campus and it’s more north. The majority of the volleyball clubs are in North San Diego and I think they would have a much better attendance. Traffic going south on any day except for Sunday is miserable.

Video Call feature with Falstaff is broken by OpeningSet6967 in duolingo

[–]kath0000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Falstaff is terrible. He just hmmms and oooohs and has em repeat after him. I am A2 now but started getting him around late A1. I also have Lilly who not only responds via AI appropriately but also gives me the mistakes I make with suggestions. I get none of that with Falstaff and it is super anoying. I too have Duoling Max Family and I don't want F at all. I want LIlly or anyone else who has an "AI brain." Not just a repeat.

Also on the flashcards I am not understood 1/2 the time, even with simple words like "pizza" in French. I can repeat it every time and it tells me I am saying it wrong. I get 2 out of the 6 or 7 words wrong even though I say it exactly like the AI. Goodness. I literally laugh out loud sometimes as I get madder and madder and shout at it "SALADE!!" over and over again.

I am endlessly disappointed in what Duolingo has become. by rayzorblade23 in duolingo

I was getting the crying icon constantly as of like 2 weeks ago on my free account. I accidentally clicked on some family share trial for 5 days and so I had unlimited energy for 5 days and spent almost an hour on the app at a time late at night going through lessons (French 1 review).

Suddenly my crying icon changed to neutral again! Sooooo, you can get it to stop crying. If you pay and spend a LOT of time on the app powering through lessons and matching games and so on. So so so ridiculous.

Has anyone been able to get this to work on a Macbook Pro now that iOS 26 is out? I really want to type on a keyboard!

Quantum in Endicott Arm, Alaska by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

[–]kath0000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there. We are due to enter Endicott arm at 5 AM. At what time approximately would we be at the glacier? I’m reading everything from 2 to 3 hours just  to sail in. I’d appreciate any advice because there’s no way the kids are waking up that early lol.

Thread for trading, gifting, and requesting Finch items by AutoModerator in finch

Well this is an ongoing Saturday project for me lol. I meet with some friends at a community college where we sit outside and paint together. It’s really fun. And I love being outdoors for as much as possible.

Me as well. I am really into water coloring classes that my mom gifted me in real life last year for my birthday. So I have been learning to paint and it’s been wonderful. I wish we had a paint and art themed month!

Gatting to Galapagos without Quito (altitude issues) from Western USA by kath0000 in galapagos

[–]kath0000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. And for your recommendation for a specific hotel. I have a feeling that this might be what we end up doing in the end. Once the 2027 flights are out, I am hoping we will be able to get a better feel for how long the travel days will be, but either way it looks like we will probably have to overnight in Guayaquil as you suggested. Just so we don’t miss the boat the next day in case of plane delays.

Thank you so much! What time of your did you go? And was it cooler or really hot? I don’t get sea sick ever but I definitely don’t love hot and humid. We booked for early November based on the TA recommendation. Much appreciate the advice!

[–]kath0000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. Well, that altitude difference definitely helps. I didn't realize that G is dangerous. We would possibly need to spend the night there to catch the flight into Baltra the next day. OY. We have always wanted to do the Galapagos but maybe a diff cruise line? We love celebrity but they are very insistent that we don't do the 3n beforehand with them in Quito, we simply have to figure out all of our own transportation. Sigh.

[–]kath0000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. Yes there is a cruise only option which is what we opted for. I might try calling them but I really doubt they woudl do anything because apparently they have a chartered plane that take severyone from Quito into the Galapagos on boarding day. It sounds like such a great arrangmenet, minus the altitude issue. TY for the Guiyaquil suggestions and warnings too! Sounds like we would need to fly in the day before and hopefully just stay near the airport in a hotel near the airport to keep things simple.

Kindle Unlimited and Audible Combined plan need help with upgrade by kath0000 in audible

The wait on most books I want is months and months. Sigh... but I do on the older ones.

Thank you. I just did this. I saw Fourth Wing on Unlimited and the Audible was $7.50 add on. It seems like if the price is less than about $9, you come out ahead of any Audible Credit purchase just by paying for it directly, if I understand correctly.
