How to stop Calendar Location Suggestion in Big Sur?

Can this be turned off?

What I have already tried:

In Siri Preferences turned off:
- Show Siri Suggestions in App.
- Learn from this App.
Turned off Siri Suggestions in Spotlight.
Turned off Location Services.
Removed all recent locations and attendees in Calendar.
Did Reboot ;-)

Any Ideas?

How to turn off Dictation? I have followed the process for turning off Dictation through going to System Preferences/ Keyboard/Dictation. Follow steps--turn Dictation "Off." Nothing happens. Dictation is still there on the Desktop--ever present little microphone symbol in its little 1 inch rectangular shape--sometimes "Sleep", sometimes "Wake Up", and I CANNOT get rid of it. Using Big Sur 11.1. Did not have this happen under High Sierra/Mojave. I went to Catalina and then Big Sur in a matter of days, and this is a major pain. I am also getting random apps opening up--Home, Chess, and News, multiple times a day. And I get numbered lists appearing when opening and viewing menus--either Safari Bookmarks, or right clicking apps options. I suspect that these are related issues. This is driving me crazy... Any help gratefully appreciated.

How do I change the "options" on calendar pop-up notifications? I am running Big Sur on a MacBook Pro and the "newfangled" responses for pop-up reminders drive me nuts! When I create an alert for a calendar entry that reminds me 1 week before something is due, the pop-up notification no longer has any other options than "snooze" (=5 min!), or snooze up to 1 hour. That's ridiculous - it used to be (Catalina) that one could choose 1 hour, 1 day, or "until date of reminder" (or until 5 min. before reminder etc.). Is there any way to revert back to the much better functionality we had before? And while I'm at it, why can I no longer change the time zone of an entry in "calendar"? Is there a hidden trick?

The "Location" field in a Calendar event is designed solely for the purpose of finding an actual location. It is not possible to disable the search. All you can do is ignore the suggestions.
