Last night I reached a 3333 day streak on #duolingo. I think it is time to uninstall the app. It used to be fun. Learning was rewarded by lingots (the in-game currency), the more you practiced the more lingots you got. Then some number of years ago, they replaced lingots with gems and removed the correlation between learning and size of the reward. That’s IMO when Duolingo started to go downhill. Since then, they repeatedly nuked useful learning features in favor of monetizable garbage.

Hey #Boston area #HamRadio people that enjoy #RadioDirectionFinding aka #FoxHunting. Earlier today I sent the following email to the NE Massachusetts fox hunting mailing list. Anyone interested or have suggestions/comments?

Let’s see what this Red Hat Summit thing is about.

Yesterday I went for a #bike ride. A 128km long bike ride. I got breakfast at the Farmhouse Cafe in #Dunstable, rode past horses, cows, and sheep, visited some old stomping grounds (like the #NRRT ), and saw that some things haven’t changed in the past 4 years since I was there last (like the color scheme of one of the houses). While almost back home, I spotted a #CirrusSR22 at a restaurant. I guess it was some kind of sales attempt. #cycling #Massachusetts #NewHampshire

Not the greatest of places for #HamRadio

Not perfect but at least it doesn’t look like it is made of dirt. #cycling
