California has done searchs for ‘bugs’ before but don’t know if the still do.

I guess that is not "Bugs" as in butterfly?

Just owning them or actually using them? What are the fines?

Ok, expected this to be covered legally somehow.
Also as I assume that freedom of movement would be a value you are regarding highly in the States.

Makes sense. Would also just generate work for the police forces with probably only low level violations to be uncovered.
Being practical is a good approach.

Well, as almost all our industrial scale electrical energy sources boil down (this pun definitely intended) to rapidly heating up huge amounts of water, the pun seems to be obvious for a nuclear fusion power plant. But maybe it isn't and it is just a coincidence. Who knows...

One comment mentioned that some things are legal in one state but illegal in another.
And I also remember that laws in general are often quite different between states.

So, I am wondering if there exist some kind of controls near state borders to catch illegal stuff and practices (or even wanted persons?) crossing the border?

Well, an AI is incredibly patient and you can toy around with the language freely without perhaps feeling embarrassed. That alone lowers the entry bar (especially for slightly awkward persons like myself...) considerably.
On top of that AI is dirt cheap compared to a personal tutor or traveling around the world.
So it would open effective language learning to a much broader audience than before, which undoubtedly is a good thing!

I had to check and it seems you are right. Next vote of EU Commission president would normally be in 2029, so she would have to go two years early.

Nicely written, though! I like it! :-)

Noch ein kleiner Hinweis, dass "ZDF heute" da ein bisschen geschlampt hat:
Anders als es im Artikel-Text steht, sind das nämlich keine Dinosaurier...

Sehr cool ist das trotzdem, so große fleischfressende Amphibien gibt es ja heute auch nicht mehr.

Döner-mampfender Amphibienmensch wie es aussieht...

Short reminder that the German president is not comparable to the usual role of a president in other countries, e.g. the U.S.
It is by far not so powerful and has (apart from some key functions during the legislative process) mainly representative tasks.

This is a fantastic read that seems to come straight out of a Dirk Gently novel... But I am completely confused and have the feeling that I am missing some crucial information?

I see, so probably based on the resemblance to "Kathy Deeds"... Wow, that is not even decent dad humour level...

I would recommend "The mote in God's eye".
Fantastic premise with one of the most convincing and fascinating alien races (don't look it up, there are some plot-twists!) as well as some action parts and space battles. AI free and the military is kind of a quaint feudalistic kind of style.

Came here to recommend that, but then realized that AIs often play major roles in this books...
So while definitely one of the greatest space opera books series, it does not quite fit OPs preference.

Ääääh... "Künstlich"?
Kreationist oder Erich-von-Däniken-Ventilator?

Interesting insect, never heard of it before!
Although I am slightly sorry as I can't stop giggling at the moment since I realized how silly all the references to feet sound in this description. 🤭
What I don't understand is the text in the speech bubble... Is that some kind of insider joke? Seems not to be a valid information...

Reminds me of the first scientific attempts trying to reconstruct fossilized bones to plausible shapes:

Yeah, Duolingo has been resting a bit too much on its past accomplishments and still high popularity lately.
This feature is basically exactly what I would have expected them to offer me by now in return for the money I pay them each month.
Unfortunately Google is not an alternative for me, but I already have switched some of my learning to LLM chats elsewhere.
I am curious if Duolingo will be able to keep up again with the development in the long run...
