Thanks for the recommendation! Difficult to find genuine and good language apps these days that don’t cost to much money and or are riddled with ads and intrusive tracking.
I use Duolingo (and actually pay for it) and I agree 100% with this. The app is primarily about keeping you engaged and on the app. The method is by attempting to teach you a language.
Duolingo does have that function. It’s much more obvious on desktop web, but in the phone app, you tap the notebook icons to the right of the headings. I mean, they’re not necessarily excellent explanations, but they’re there.
That feature was never there in the app for norwegian at all. They just added something similar which is basically the review of all the sentences in the lesson. Fucking useless if you ask me.
Lingodeer is a technical mess with popups, banners and lock or crown icons everywhere. There are situations where it just won’t let you continue to the next lesson and the flow inside the exercises is very janky. Turning off the animations helps a lot but it’s nowhere near the ease of use of Duolingo.
The problem with all these alternatives is that the language selection is extremely limited. You want to learn English, French, German, or Spanish? Great, there are a million options for you! But if you go a bit more niche like Finnish or Irish, your options are much more limited. Of course there are ways to learn those languages - and much better ways than Duolingo. But Duolingo’s strength is offering a bunch of them, for free, in one place.
Note that I’m not trying to defend Duolingo, but rather deploring the lack of alternatives.
That’s good. The fucking broilers these days eat eachother because they need the energy. And it’s not from hormones like that guy below says. It’s from selective breeding. But they do grow fucking fast and it’s not the ones we eat that we need to worry about primarily, it’s their mothers that we need to keep alive through that bullshit. Using smaller, slower growing chickens is more responsible.
The chickens aren’t separated in the store; all the butchering and separating happens in the factory. The store gets boxes of legs, boxes of breasts, boxes of thighs, etc.
It seems plausible someone was very new and mistook the drumlet bin for the drumstick bin. I’d bet your order wasn’t the only mistake before someone noticed and corrected them.
It may be worth contacting the shop with your photo, because it will be obvious to them that is a drumlet. May be worth a free meal.
Okay, that’s weird. I get KFC on occasion and haven’t noticed any appreciable change in the drumstick size. The one in your photo is tiny and appears to be the same shape and size as a standard drumlet.
To cover the ten most traded currencies and ten most populous countries, the following are close in size to the coin in the post:
Australian dollar: 5 cent
Bangladeshi taka: 5 poisha
Brazilian real: slightly smaller than the 10 centavo
British pound: Between the 1 penny and the 5 pence
Canadian dollar: 1 cent
Chinese renminbi: 1 jiao
Euro: 2 cent
Hong Kong dollar: 20 cent
Indian rupee: 50 paise
Indonesian rupiah: slightly smaller than the 50 rupiah
Japanese yen: slightly smaller than the 1 yen
Mexican peso: 20 centavo
Nigerian naira: smaller than all current coins. About three-quarters the diameter of the 2 naira
Pakistani rupee: 5 rupee
Russian ruble: between the 5 kopeck and 50 kopeck
Singaporean dollar: 10 cent
Swiss franc: 10 centime
What happens when you can but the other guy is broke including homeless now. Do you murder the economy just because the “mutual” “giving” dies on one end?
Everything is a serial now. They’re not bad, but you can’t just pick any random episode and have a good time. I prefer episodic stuff for that very reason.
Sure… If they did 1 episode a week. But when they dump the entire season in one day, I can just watch the whole thing over a weekend and cancel my subscription until the next season.
I find myself enjoying episodic shows more than serials like star trek TNG, Voyager, House MD, etc. I tend to get bored with non episodic shows because with episodic ones I can look forward to watching a new story every episode. Keeps me interested.
I just started (Outer Wilds) the other day. Not sure what I’m doing, lol. I died the first three times by not wearing a suit. I bought it purely on the recommendation on another Lemming (Lemmy user?) and they said just get into it and don’t look into anything else. Looking forward to just trying things on my next run.
Good luck, I also bought it on recommendation and did not enjoy it. If you’re curious why let me know, I don’t want to shape your opinion on the game with my opinions.
I had a few things spoiled for me unfortunately, but the spoiler was so cool it prompted me to try the game, so net win? Lol, I’m jealous you get to go in blind! Can’t wait till I have Alzheimer’s and I can replay it for the first time. It’s definitely a game that encourages you to just try things to see what happens, I love it :)
It also certainly doesn’t help me remembering which is which when in Outer WILDS you explore different worlds and in Outer WORLDS the tutorial area is kind of an overgrown wilds in which you explore very few worlds. When I have to talk about either one of them I just say “You know, the one with the crazy gravity physics and planets” or “You know, the one that’s basically just Firefly the video game.”
