Not sure this is still helpful, but we use Ooma for our old landline that we just weren't quite ready to give up. We use the "free" plan, but the "premier" plan is $9.99/mo+taxes.

I tapped out on Duolingo when I couldn't learn more generally from the individual lessons; tried babbl (paid) but only worked for awhile before again losing the thread. Now considering Göthe Institute for a live online course, but they're expensive. Languages didn't come naturally to me, FWIW.

Any of them could be govt stand-ins, cooperating behind the scenes, or otherwise unsafe (privacy-wise). There are audits, but they suffer from the same inherent problems (who is doing the auditing). I'm not sure that matters for geo-location, though. From Wirecutter: www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

I'd love to see the transcript as I want them to both understand the tech and to see what it's like to try to explain it to a judge...

Did they do a good job? I'm teaching copyright this semester and would love to use something like that for the class...

Not sure if I'm too late to this party, but if there's still space I'd appreciate being added, too!

"There isn't a snowball's chance in hell" reads to me as being a less than zero chance;
Snowball's chance of being in hell=zero;
Isn't even that chance? <zero.
"There's a snowball's chance" reads to me as "no chance."
The first is a nice rhetorical flourish.
I'm now way overthinking this...

This drives me absolutely nuts. One can only ask, "Why do we do this and why is it the insurance companies' fault?" Insurance seems to drive all of this and no one at the institutions has any desire to fight the necessary battles with them. So we're all less secure. And annoyed.

Yeah. That was. Not. Good.

There seems to be a cultural element in this. In Europe (I suppose I can mostly speak to Germany, but I recall it from my time living in England, as well) it is common to have dogs (of all sizes) with their owners in restaurants. I never saw it cause a problem.

I hope this isn't completely irrelevant, but you might look at mass arbitration; the piece I know is Maria Glover's very thorough article in the Stanford L. Rev. with that title (she has another in the Wash. U. L. Rev, too, and there are student notes here and there).

I think you might need to be old. For me as an oldster, it's the nostalgia, which I passed on to my kids. My wife, who is German (kids are dual), hates this particular one for the charicature. Given current events we may not watch it this year. Hits a little too close to home.

Please feel free to reach out to me in the future should this kind of thing happen again. You should not be hassled like this. I can't guarantee I can represent you, but we can certainly have a free conversation. If you want better contact info, dm me.

No percentage for agonizing over people questioning your topic, research, thesis, approach, whether you're "the right person to write about this," or telling you "you really should be writing about this"?

I left in 2010 after teaching for 5+ years in the UK (Norwich Law at U. East Anglia) once the direction in higher ed became clear to me (combined with other reasons).
