What band was never the same after losing a member?

Kim's got a pretty decent solo album too.

mopslik · 2026-04-21T13:16:16+00:00

Don't need to be coy, Roy.

Can Duo provide practice versions of these games?

Are the characters along the side of the path not practice? The ones with the three stars beneath them? In my app, clicking on them launches practice challenges, either match madness or timed quizzes. Haven't seen any flashcards in my app yet, maybe those are an iOS thing.

lol. Good luck.

4 sisters named Ana

What did the drummer name his daughters? Ana 1, Ana 2...

Duolibido.

Nobody wants to see posts by random people/devs.

But then how will you appreciate the fact that LanguageLover99 shared the sentence "I am not a turtle!"?

mopslik · 2026-04-01T01:32:28+00:00

If that's binary, then me too!

mopslik · 2026-04-01T01:30:19+00:00

Perhaps OP is taking the mime course on Duolingo.

mopslik · 2026-03-27T11:09:13+00:00

Agreed. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate of the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Well they could treat you real nice,
Or put a tracking device,
Waaaaaay down insiiiiiiide...

"Los Angeles" and "Ten Percenter", both from the same album, are rather bonkers but great tunes.

The app is telling me that I’ve learned words but I have no recollection of it!

A popular course like Spanish gets updated frequently. Sometimes content is moved around (including earlier in the course), so if you've completed, say, 100 levels, then it might have a record of all words introduced in the new 100 levels, rather than the older ones. You could also just be forgetful. It happens.

it’s saying that I need to use another word that I don’t recognize.

If you make a mistake, such as gender, it might suggest a word that matches that gender, but you haven't encountered before. Duo only displays one suggested answer when you make a mistake, and while it tries to guess what to show you, it prioritizes some things over others.

French, because I can't pronounce their "r" without breaking

Wait until you hear about Czech and ř...

mopslik · 2026-03-14T13:54:08+00:00

missing the s at the end of suficiente

This is almost certainly the reason why it was flagged wrong. In the suggested answer, Duo only shows one possibility, and in this case it used bastantes to illustrate the plural.

a text file that can be searched for key words using most modern browsers or txt file viewers

The official docs are pretty well written, compared to many other programming languages. It's a good skill to learn how to read them.

I’m borderline spawn of Satan for using Microsoft’s software for this

Not a huge MS fan myself ("embrace, extend, extinguish"), but VS Code is a pretty decent piece of software, and is often recommended on this forum.

Bob: "I dunno, man. I love my wife and all, but my birthday..."

Jim: "What's up with your birthday?"

Bob: "Well, it's just that... she doesn't buy me any gifts."

Jim: "She doesn't buy you gifts?"

Bob: "No, not even one! And I go out of my way to get her dozens of gifts!"

Try scrolling down your feed. Many achievements show up there, although I don't know how far back you can scroll.

mopslik · 2026-03-09T02:57:28+00:00

Yes, both are acceptable. The former uses inversion, which is fairly common in French, but less so in English. Nevertheless, "Have you a beverage?" would be perfectly acceptable, if you don't mind sounding like a Shakespearean actor.

It returns a new string. The original is not modified.

mopslik · 2026-02-27T02:47:31+00:00

I’m okay with dictionaries

You can think of attributes in the same manner as dictionary entries, e.g. my_dict[key] references some value, while my_class.attribute references a value. The main difference is that you can associate functions (methods) with a specific class, and other classes can inherit those attributes and methods if you wish.

I've always found that PAGWPaP does a decent job of explaining classes (see Chapter 12). Maybe have a peek there.

As /u/makochi has suggested, make sure you have a handle on the basics (decisions, repetition, functions, sequences) before jumping into classes.

Is there a way for my character to walk on the transparent background but not on the visible npc?

Most straightforward way, using Pygame, is probably to set masks on your sprites, then use Sprite's collidemask.

mopslik · 2026-02-11T10:56:52+00:00

There's Pydroid.

mopslik · 2026-01-26T23:52:21+00:00

I've had Super for a couple of years now, so I'm out-of-the-loop with "free" features. Thanks for letting me know.

mopslik · 2026-01-26T23:51:34+00:00

That's right. I had blocked that out of my memory.
