Pleasantly surprised by that home kit. I've been in the market for a new Town shirt for a few years now but none have grabbed me. They might get some of my money for merchandise this year. |

I know.
I think it should be banned in football stadiums in general, so why don't ITFC be trailblazers? |

Looks like the same v-neck as last season.
I'm out. |

It's all relative. If someone only does 1,000 at the moment, then doing 2,000 would be a 100% increase, and 10,000 would probably be unattainable/unmanageable at present. |

Thanks all for the suggestions! Next year I might look to spend 90 days living in Germany somewhere while working remotely, for full immersion. [Post edited 19 Jun 11:21]

Thanks. I've dabbled in the past with various languages but I think the chances of anyone ever speaking a language properly from Duolingo are slim to none.
Anki is great for a similar purpose as it uses spaced repetition to expose you to new words and sentences. |

Just wondering if anyone has any decent tips to learn a language from personal experience?
I am currently making a real focus on building my German, and I am currently following a daily routine of:
- Watching one video from a recommended German learning YouTube channel.
- Learning and reviewing a few words and sentences on Anki.
- Listening to a natural podcast even if I can't understand it (plus sometimes a slower podcast which I can actually mostly understand).
- Reading something every day. Speaking it out loud as well.
- Making a few of my own flashcards with words/verbs relevant to my daily routine.
I am also intending to begin talking to online tutors two or three times a week. Did my first session last night. It was rough, but we got through it and he said I'm not the worst he's ever worked with.
It seems a lot but it is manageable thus far. Perhaps ~2 hours in total every day.
I am curious to know if anyone on here has had success with language learning, and how they went about it? [Post edited 18 Jun 15:46]

After that someone should really take the time to ask him 'How are you feeling, Darling?'. [Post edited 15 Jun 18:02]

I just want a nice, simple, plain blue shirt with a crew neck and a dash of white and red somewhere.
No collar, no stripes, no frame around the badge. |

Ergh. All those people existing and conscious one moment and no longer the next. Horrific. |

Can you not look in the fridge and work out for yourself what you do or don't need to buy?
Shouldn't everyone do their bit to reduce environmental damage and suffering, whether it's using AI less, turning off the socket when the appliance isn't on, reducing consumption of meat products etc.?
'Suppose a village contains 100 unarmed tribesmen eating their lunch. 100 hungry armed bandits descend on the village and each bandit at gun-point takes one tribesman’s lunch and eats it. The bandits then go off, each one having done a discriminable amount of harm to a single tribesman. Next week, the bandits are tempted to do the same thing again, but are troubled by new-found doubts about the morality of such a raid. Their doubts are put to rest by one of their number who does not believe in the principle of divisibility. They then raid the village, tie up the tribesmen, and look at their lunch. As expected, each bowl of food contains 100 baked beans. The pleasure derived from one baked bean is below the discrimination threshold. Instead of each bandit eating a single plateful as last week, each takes one bean from each plate. They leave after eating all the beans, pleased to have done no harm, as each has done no more than sub-threshold harm to each person.' |

I've been using ChatGPT quite a bit lately to help with learning German. It's been an incredibly useful resource; like having a teacher on hand to answer any questions, to provide practice exercises etc.
I'd not considered its environmental impact. |

I'm fascinated by D-Day and have been fortunate enough to meet five D-Day veterans over the past year and a bit.
One who landed by glider near Pegasus Bridge in the evening.
One who escorted US Rangers onto Omaha Beach.
One who was a gunner on a Destroyer off of Gold Beach.
One who landed on Gold Beach.
One who landed on Omaha Beach alongside the Americans.
All have (or had) absolutely fascinating stories. |
