What's going on here?

Yes I know it's Duolingo, but something doesn't add up here. If I type "Ve a casa" into Google Translate, it does translate it to "Go home." But I cannot find "ve" in any conjugation of "andare." What is going on?

I have however discovered there is a pronoun "ve" along with "ce" neither of which I had heard of until today!

And I don't know what it's talking about when it mentions the verb "ir" which clearly makes no sense! I guess that's just Duolingo being Duolingo.

Who is the narrator on Voyage 34?

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I can't find the answer anywhere. Is it sampled from something else or did Steven get a voice actor to record it specially?

What is this shiny thing I found on potted shrub in my garden?

It was about an inch across, and looked like a deflated soap bubble, but was completely dry. The colours changed depending on the viewing angle. Spraying it with a tiny amount of water made it disappear.

Correct battery for W211 E550

Hello, the battery in my W211 E550 is on its way out and needs replacing, but I am seeing conflicting information on which is the correct one. Can anyone tell me what the Mercedes OEM battery is? It's a facelift W211, Japanese spec.

This is the battery in it currently.

EDIT: I'm in the UK, not Japan. The car is an import. I can get a similar Varta battery here but it is pricey.

Agile Octopus?

A few weeks ago I switched on the 'AI' mode on my Solis inverter and I'm pretty impressed with it. It looks at tomorrow's weather forecast and makes usage predictions based on that and previous usage.

At the moment I'm on one of the flexible Octopus tariffs (cheapish between 2 and 5AM, expensive between 4 and 7 PM.)

Is it worth switching to Agile Octopus? Has anybody else on here done this combination?

I have an almost immaculate W211 but every so often, I find water in the battery compartment, where the arrow is pointing. It's easy enough to blot it all up with a towel, but it randomly reappears.

Does anyone have any idea how it might be getting in. Everywhere else is bone dry, so I don't think it's condensation or the boot seal leaking.
