Momondo Is usually pretty good for me

The Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty was very enjoyable. Still YA, but engaging throughout.

Agreed, especially now that the second trilogy is underway. Hoping the next book follows the same more mature progression and can wrap up the story in a satisfying way.

I had a NA Guinness Stout that I really enjoyed. Had I not followed it up with an actual Guinness, I may have been convinced it was the real thing.

Eh, at least in my experience, interest in most normal mortgages ends up less than the standard deduction so it can’t be claimed. It was a change Trump made to the tax code I think. I don’t understand enough about it to know if it affects me negatively or not. I know it’s better for me to claim the standard deduction instead of itemizing my deductions. This means I can’t claim interest paid (which is bad), but the standard deduction is higher than it was before, so I think I’m still claiming more money as untaxable (which is good, I think?).

Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can chip in.

I can’t remember, was The Jungle written in 1904 or 1980? Because this storyline seems really familiar.

I don’t thing it’s location specific. It’s more like a pie chart where it’s grouping the similar land typess together and then arbitrarily placing them on the US map.

Agreed! And less buggy. 2 weeks ago the servers were constantly crashing or the apps were glitching out. You can see the progress day by day.

Man, that doesn’t resonate with me at all. I don’t think there is any point to living other than just enjoying your time here. Sure, work when necessary to be able to afford the necessities, develop some skills to be able to afford a few luxuries, but honestly just do things that make you happy. Self-improvement as a reason to live seems awful. If you’re unable to improve, are you a failure? If you’re already happy as you are, should you just end it?

Dreamingspanish.com has been great at helping my vocabulary. Just watching videos 30-60 minutes a day, at my level of comprehension really took the stress out of memorization and has allowed my brain to pick up on common phrases and different ways to talk around things I don’t know wxact words for. There are a ton of free videos at super beginner, beginner, and intermediate levels. I watched a 20 part complete history of Spain at the intermediate level and then immediately subscribed to his channel because I could tell pretty quickly how good it was for me. I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot if you want to boost listening skills and expanding vocab.

I commented above but wanted to reply directly to you.

I give a flower to Ana = doy una flor a Ana

Replace Ana with a pronoun (le - inderect objects are non gendered): I give her a flower = le doy una flor

Replace flor with a pronoun (la - direct objects are gendered): I give it to Ana = La doy a Ana

Replace both: I give her it = Le la doy

It would be Le las mando (I send them (to) him). The pronouns always go before the verb.

Le is the indirect pronoun. So, to him, for him, with him, etc. This almost always refers to a person/pet/etc. It it the thing the verb is happening to.

Lo(s)/la(s) is the direct object. It’s the target of the verb (I send what? I send notes = las mando). These can be things or people. (I called him = lo llamé).

Comments are emptier, but I feel like they’re more relevant. To comment is an actual response and discussion, not just the same joke with the expected replies on every thread.

Do you put the loaf in the cast iron with the baking paper? Or only the dough? Looks great!

Have you tried leaving a space after your username? e.g. "blindbunny "? I know it sounds dumb but i had a similar issue on one account and i realized that the website auto added a space when i signed in. I assume the same thing must’ve happened when i signed up and i didn’t notice.

Nope, i think they’re integrated now. I’m on lemmy.world and I’m seeing his comment.

Agree! TopHour was my preferred way to sort reddit. Felt like I’d get new, active posts. And then they’d basically refresh each hour so i wasn’t seeing the same things over and over again. I’m currently using TopDay and Hide When Read, but it’s not the same bc i can’t go back and find posts that I’ve read earlier.

Agree, tap to expand and hold to hide makes more sense to me too.

It’s the Android app for Lemmy
