  • One comment mentioned that some things are legal in one state but illegal in another.
    And I also remember that laws in general are often quite different between states.

    So, I am wondering if there exist some kind of controls near state borders to catch illegal stuff and practices (or even wanted persons?) crossing the border?

  • Well, an AI is incredibly patient and you can toy around with the language freely without perhaps feeling embarrassed. That alone lowers the entry bar (especially for slightly awkward persons like myself...) considerably.
    On top of that AI is dirt cheap compared to a personal tutor or traveling around the world.
    So it would open effective language learning to a much broader audience than before, which undoubtedly is a good thing!

  • Noch ein kleiner Hinweis, dass "ZDF heute" da ein bisschen geschlampt hat:
    Anders als es im Artikel-Text steht, sind das nämlich keine Dinosaurier...

    Sehr cool ist das trotzdem, so große fleischfressende Amphibien gibt es ja heute auch nicht mehr.

  • Short reminder that the German president is not comparable to the usual role of a president in other countries, e.g. the U.S.
    It is by far not so powerful and has (apart from some key functions during the legislative process) mainly representative tasks.

  • I would recommend "The mote in God's eye".
    Fantastic premise with one of the most convincing and fascinating alien races (don't look it up, there are some plot-twists!) as well as some action parts and space battles. AI free and the military is kind of a quaint feudalistic kind of style.

  • Came here to recommend that, but then realized that AIs often play major roles in this books...
    So while definitely one of the greatest space opera books series, it does not quite fit OPs preference.

  • Interesting insect, never heard of it before!
    Although I am slightly sorry as I can't stop giggling at the moment since I realized how silly all the references to feet sound in this description. 🤭
    What I don't understand is the text in the speech bubble... Is that some kind of insider joke? Seems not to be a valid information...

  • Yeah, Duolingo has been resting a bit too much on its past accomplishments and still high popularity lately.
    This feature is basically exactly what I would have expected them to offer me by now in return for the money I pay them each month.
    Unfortunately Google is not an alternative for me, but I already have switched some of my learning to LLM chats elsewhere.
    I am curious if Duolingo will be able to keep up again with the development in the long run...

  • Ok, similar to the ones we have here in Germany at many crossroads.
    They are colloquially called "Bettelampel" which translates to something like "beggar's traffic light", as you are kind of a second class traffic participant at this place and have to "beg" to get a timeslot allocated.
