I've used memrise.com and liked it, it really felt like the words I learned stuck with me. Duolingo seemed unfinished to me.

 As one of several supplementary sources, yes.

edit- I used Busuu. It feels like it's gotten significantly worse since I used it and more restricted to generate more revenue.

I have no idea what it means.

He is envious of the French for being lazy and thinks Tennessee would be likewise glorious if it were not for evil yankee corporate stores.

That was my 1st impression but upon more reading I started to think the opposite & then I got confused.

Ryanair has flights to some place 2 hours away or so from central London for DKK69 ($10.30). Holy shit.

Fixed!
Pretty sure they just use Luton for London flights. :unsure:

I bought a baseball glove that was made in Vietnam.  Not sure how I feel about that.

Stomach flu going around.  I was squirting like a fire hose yesterday.  Still a little banged up in the guts.

An actual ad placed in an Indian daily. What a lovely mix of progressive and regressive ideas - sometimes life is stranger than fiction. :D

I kept meaning to mention this but I forgot, but a week or two back I thought I saw Ank on facebook saying that he was going to be on Jepoardy. Did anyone else see this or did I imagine it?

Jet: I see.

British rails also halted by strikes? Makes me feel like we should probably also strike. Just because.
