I do not believe the 90% is anywhere an accurate number. Those arseholes exist, no question, but I believe the number is much lower. Even if I am quite pedantic about people cycling on the wrong side of the road and would even add those to

I wouldn't use the webui for that. Getting rid of onedrive in favor for a self-hosted nextcloud, I used the native client to download all the files on the machine and then moved them out. This also removed them from onedrive after ackn

Because they are stating this story as something negative, some drawback. Perhaps it is, for them, but that's where the context and perspective should come in. To me it sounds like an incredible success story. Most people I know, me in

But even the grades are highly contextual. I am unfamiliar with how much they vary across the US, but usually grades depend a lot on the university itself and the professors teaching or grading the courses. The prestige of the university ma

I am truly happy for them, but I would like to see that this is placed in the appropriate context for this public forum. From an international viewpoint, this is the exception, not the norm. "Ranting" about a rather exceptional li

Assume there are countries, where the usual path looks a little different. The US is not a standard for all things. In some regions you usually don't start studying at a university or institution of higher education before 18-19, a bac

It seems this wasn't mentioned before, but in Germany some communal open data labs created instructions on how to build an air quality sensor setup and a corresponding map visualizing the results (all over the world by now). https:&#x

Sorry, coming back to this comment quite late. Duolingo usually offers some introductory notes for each unit, where stuff like this should be described. I agree that the progression in Duolingo could be better and focus on phrases and conve

Not particularly, but I have used chat GPT to explain grammatical concepts to me that baffled me before, or that baffled someone else and I, as a native speaker, was unable to explain. Works like a charm - provided a suitable prompt. Only

Sorry, but this is an incredibly ignorant comment. If you can say "the bear is vegetarian", you are most likely able to say "I am vegetarian", too. Everyone of those silly sentences contains words you may or may not need
