Thanks for your options and opinions. The streak is addictive but I decided to punish this move by Duolingo and delete the app. I switched to LingoDeer for now. I did find this fun message when I tried to delete the app that made me chuckle.

 

Anybody else has had that? I read they’re testing this so maybe not everyone is affected.

I mean it makes money but I feel like it’s much less labour intensive to do starfruit or ancient fruits.

Sorry maybe I wasn’t clear. I meant that sometimes hospital have a policy to not let you in to see or stay with your significant other if you are not a family member. If you are not married you are not family so they could refuse you seeing your partner in some situations.

Think hospital: “Sorry, family only”. Do it before you need it.

I’ve done Halloween for the first time in the uk with my 2 year old, and we passed a few lightly decorated doors (apartment block). Most other flats had a bowl of candy outside and is this one not having it, we were not sure if we could knock or not. I found myself thinking that they were out or didn’t want to be bothered. It has become very unclear. I think next year even if I’m at home (before we go trick or treating) I will put a sign on the door if I want them to knock, so I make it clear to all.

Wouldn’t the hidden text appear when highlighted to copy though? And then also appear when you paste in ChatGPT because it removes formatting?

A 12 year old drew a recognizable picture of another 12 year old? Doubt it.

In case you missed the markings on it, it’s also free and runs on electricity, which in France is low carbon.

I live in Greater London and I’m right past a busy street going straight in London. I see a good number of electric vehicles but it’s nowhere near 70%. Do you remember where you read that? I’m curious to check the rate of progress. (I would love for my street to be quieter)

I joined a union, but aside for legal help, they’re probably not ever gonna be of other help in my case. I work for a big international company (~5000 worldwide) and there’s only about 10 of us in the uk. Collective bargaining is going to get us nothing but fired. That’s assuming I can convince my 9 colleagues to do so, which is less than likely. In general I think it’s tough to get anything out of a union in international companies.
