It's interesting that people still ring something around noon. In my European country, it's common practice in every town/village (even in big cities) to ring the church bell at 12 o' clock, but that's from waaaaay back when not everyone could have a timekeeping device. We also have an air raid siren (mostly because of a "nearby" nuclear reactor), which also gets tested, but only about once a month.
EDIT: What the fuck did I do?
I'm the kind of person who reads step 1, does it, and then goes on to read step 2. I'm happy I'm not OP.
Good eyesight!
I've been using it for years, but only for ~10 minutes a day. Obviously it can't teach you to speak it, but to read and write? Absolutely. The secret is to NEVER install the app. My philosophy is that if it has a website then everything should be doable via the website, and I won't install the app.
NOTHING should urge you to install their app, unless it actually cannot function properly on a, say, desktop PC. In case of a trekking and hiking app, I understand it only works properly knowing your location (I would still be terribly paranoid about what else it does with my location info, apart from recommending paths and whatnot). But other than that, I always assume that when something could be perfectly done via a website and they still push their app, they just want to sell your data.
And believe me, using Duolingo via the website is definitely less frustrating than having the app.
That will be a nice addition to my periodic elements collection.
Thanks for the link, that's an interesting material. However, I had to re-read that sentence three times trying to make sense of clothing items in genetics.
UPDATE: It has been fixed. Thank you : ).
Immigrant heathen here. While I DO toast it (1.5 rounds, until the top is right crunchy), butter it with decent butter and put salt on it, at the end I also put slices of cheddar on it, and spin them in the microwave until the cheese juuust melts.
The thing is, when you live in an unhealthy manner, you won't just live with minor symptoms of it, before your body just has enough and dies immediately. You will have to face the long time consequences for decades. If you decide to do so at the age of 17 or 20, and find a romantic partner later, you might see things differently by the time you notice how your health degraded.
I'm obviously not trying to get you to live healthy - you do you. But in my experience, not caring about your future self will just make it even harder when it becomes your present self - and on top of that global recession, famine, wars, diseases and whatnot now you will also have to deal with an achy foot, constant coughing or crippling depression. For a long time.
While it was something similar for me, evidence/proof for something supernatural makes it not supernatural anymore.
Definitely beats Hungarian dög (carrion/carcass).
Dude, I have just ditched Sync because it got abandoned, and moved to Boost a few weeks ago. Don't scare me : ). (They had been busy, but they are working on an update).
They are like an ogre, they have layers.
