When it’s hot, yes.

Practice. And then practice more And more And even more. Unlike all the shame people give it, I still think that Duolingo is a good tool. But, Duolingo on its own is not enough. Without using the language you won’t get it.

I used Duolingo for Italian French czehc and Greek. It is enough for me to allow me know what an article is about in these language. If you want to get to conversation level, be ready to embrasse yourself. Without willing to make these mistakes, no matter what you do, you won’t manage the language.

For context, my experience: Italian: started with Duolingo, eventually hired a teacher to improve my speaking level. I’m not perfect, but I manage to joke with the casual Italians I meet. French: used almost only Duolingo. There are however plenty of books and films and shows in french. I was in Paris a year ago, communicated almost solely in french and managed to do everything I need (including taking a friend to a clinic after he hit his head) Greek: started with Duolingo and hired a teacher for a while. It is hard to find communication partners and material so my level is not as high as I would like. To manage reading an article I need to concentrate very hard. Czech: still basic. I’m only half way through the Duolingo tree. I’m searching for other rmaterials, but I’m mostly lacking the time to dedicate myself to the task.

Not really. I have a Google drive, but I gradually reduce my use of it. I don’t upload personal stuff there.

I have two hard drive at home that I use to sync all my information from my phone/computer to for backup (using syncthing). One day I’ll pay for a fixed IP/VPN service for remote access to these drives. The two drives are in two different locations in the house.

I would like to have a drive in an additional location for backup. But I don’t want it online.

Example: if we are willing to walk around with smartphones that are 5mm thicker and 50g heavier, and a bit less slick in design, we can fix them instead of buying new ones. This kind of things. And we are not even willing to give that up.

Came here to say that, thank you.

I think that your score is too high. It should be lower…

Considering October 7th, and the war since then, do you think that this is a possible solution? I note that a lot of the the population are quite strong in the religion believes. And I note that both religions list revenge as part of their values. Do you think that enough trust can be built anytime soon?

And also, about colonialism, there is no dispute that Jewish people lived in this land for generations. The comparison to e.g., France in Algier, is not a fair one here.

Who said I support settlements at all?

May I ask you what you view as Zionism?

I’m an Israeli lefty and this is the first time I see an argument in favor of the settlements that I’m actually agreeing with. Thank you.

Disclosure: I’m Israeli, I’m anti war and anti occupation. I was drafted more than 20 years ago (it’s sort of mandatory here).

I think you paint it in a too much simple colours. In the war between israel and Gaza now, both armies fight for what they believe is the safety of their home, and in both armies there are high numbers if drafted (by force people). Also, in both sides, there is a level of truth that without the auctions of their army their home will be at risk. So you end up in a situation where there is an army that you don’t fully agree with and you serve in it since the alternative is even worse.

It boils down to the fact that your political leaders are not having your well-being at the top of their priorities. I believe that your discussion with that someone should be about that. Not about do/don’t draft but how to promote a world where there will be no need for drafting.

(I believe that the same goes to Ukrain and Russia war).

Game this is easy: I will be the best at commiting crimes without getting caught. In your face Moriarty

There is a whole scenario in my head if you are interested, but we can take our time. The soft sun and the green environment, we should enjoy them. So the first slow step is to spread those lips a bit, make sure that you give a good clear view of your pussy to everyone interested.

Rule #1 in economy is that the supplier would like to sell at a price as high as possible. People find gel capsules to be more effective, and are willing to sell that much more for them. This is what is setting the price, not the actual performance.

I’m not saying that the cost is not justified. Only, that the question of the production cost is not relevant.

I’m from Israel.

I was abroad on October 7th.

Hi,

Sadly, it appears that doing this requires skills way overy limit. But maybe this would be useful for you.

Yes, you got it right.

Thanks for the answer, I suspected that this would be the case from the suggestions, but thanks for explaining.

I saw that someone did that, but it’s too much of digging into his explanation for me to manage to do it.

There are two issues here:

1. I have only one monitor
2. I would like to avoid the risk of copying files between the computer

I have a docking station, or better said KVM, connected to the monitor, keyboard etc. Currently, I’m switching the KVM between the laptop and the desktop machine using a USB C. I wonder if there is a way for me to turn my desktop into a KVM.

WhatsApp is about 2GB of data for a while now. I guess that if I want to keep my conversation history, that’s a fixed number more or less.

Is there some way for me to see the history of my storage? Spot any anomalies?
