Portuguese, we do and we use it in everything. Even something simple like “for my Father” most of us say “for the my Father”.

“Sou filho do meu pai”

Translating literally becomes:

“am son of the my Father”

The malware is not on react-native, but react-native-aria. A “copy” of Adobe’s react-aria libs.

Autistic people will often do the right thing simply because they were taught it is what they are supposed to do - with no consideration of how they’ll feel about it.

And ADHD people don’t get to feel good about anything they do.

Combine the two and you get the ultimate altruists!

Bottoms.

The script feels terrible and they don’t even try to make you like the characters. But the jokes always land perfectly. It’s a great movie to have a laugh and nothing else.

That’s pretty cool, great job!

Usually none. I only have an inner monologue when I explicitly want to have one and in that case it works just like talking: I can use any language I want.

AI is not the new NFT but also not the new Internet. It’s the new touchscreen. Amazing in some contexts, but forced down on every other.

Not cried, but Trevor Moore’s death shook me as that was the first time someone I enjoyed the work of died while I was still expecting to see more work from them in the future.

Not this time, but I do have another story many years later when I stepped on a sickle and cut my toe, then after getting bandages I resumed what I was doing and stepped on it again, on the same toe. But the second time didn’t leave any cut.

No idea.

As a kid (+/- 7yo) I saw a huge ass nail hanging out from some broken piece of wood laying in the school yard and thought: “I’ll make a hole in my slipper”, so I hovered my foot over the nail, but that didn’t do it. “Oh I need to put pressure on it”.

In my head I thought I was making an arch with my foot so that I would only put weight on the front and back of the slipper and the nail wouldn’t hit me. Only in my head.

So I stepped on the nail, injuring myself. I then went to an adult. After patching my foot they asked me to go find the nail and throw it in the trash, before anyone else steps on it too.

The piece of wood was too big for me to handle, so I thought: “nobody is gonna be stupid enough to step on that” and left it there.

HEEHAW!

But if she breaks up with him, then he’s the first to go.

I think both of them have Japanese (I remember seeing Rosetta Stone being praised for its Japanese content 20 years ago and I hope it would only have improved since), but I haven’t gone very far in the language in either app.

As a complete beginner, Drops is pretty good for learning random words and increasing vocabulary. As you advance through it you start seeing sentences too, but it doesn’t teach you how to make your own sentences, only to memorize the ones they pre-created.

Rosetta Stone doesn’t translate anything. All of the content is in the language you want to learn and it tries to introduce you to things in a natural way. For example it shows a picture of someone biting an apple and says “the man eats an apple”, then later shows other pictures related to one or multiple men, fruits and verbs, so you can get used to the differences between things just by observing those.

Sometimes the icons annoy me too and I wish the app had an option to always show the icon’s label, but at least you can tap on the icon to see the label.

Check out “Language Drops” and “Rosetta Stone” if you’re looking for replacements. They both have very different approaches to language learning (both from each other and from Duolingo), but their content is at the very least much better curated than Duolingo’s.

I haven’t gone out of my way to check but AFAIK neither of them is jumping on the AI-before-anything-else train.

While I knew since last year the the story was fake (and I had random people mention it to me on online games when they learned I was Brazilian), I’m also skeptical that this story alone was all it needed to kill that guy’s company.

• Can my coffee maker make tea instead?

That is a very good question and good on you for looking for healthier options for hot drinks. In short: yes, your coffee maker can make tea. For that you need to turn it upside down and toggle on the “use herbs” button.

• I don’t see such a button.

Ah, that’s a classic case of coffee makers not showing their buttons on the external side. You’ll need to open up the equipment and press the internal button with a screwdriver. Would you like some help opening it? I can make you a detailed guide about how to turn screws if you want.

• I’ve opened it. There’s no button. There’s no sort of control of anything for different types of drinks.

Ah, that narrows it down quite a bit. What you’ll need to do is buy several pieces of equipment and install a custom built module for turning coffee into tea. I can help you build a list of the most efficient parts to acquire for this. Would you like to start this project now?

Two years later, did it live up to your expectations?
