No Man’s Sky

If Tesla (or the marketing company) asked for permission, then it was more than “vaguely”.

Exactly. It’s a nice smoky whiskey. I also like the Johnny Walker Double Black. For the more expensive, Ardberg Ardbeg 10 and Lagavulin 16.

Crown Royal Black is very good. The Salted Caramel is nice too.

If both seats are taken for all showings, probably they are broken and locked off.

Yeah, let’s blame the victim.

Cerol is old story. You can do it at home. Ground glass and glue. That’s all you need.

Kite fight is almost a tradition in Brazil. The real masters of kite fighting are capable of even capturing the enemy’s kite, wrapping it their own kite’s tail (called rabiola).

Now, when they do this near a highway, the razor sharp line can fall into traffic and cut through the necks of people in bikes. I had a line crossed in front of me once. I was in a car and the line wrapped on my mirror. I didn’t stop there because I thought it was dangerous. When I finally did, the line was embedded into the mirror’s casing, having cut through the plastic.

Another thing that can cause death related to kites. Kids love running after the cut ones. And they’re usually looking up, not sideways when running. So, being struck by a car is easy.

Just check if the other side has an X-chock between the wheels.

For people in Canada, Pix is like Interac with automatic deposit activated.

Quebec was a French colony, they lost a big war, they hate the monarchy and dream of independence from Britain and the English part of Canada.

They try everything so people keep speaking in French. They force kids to go to French schools and reduced the places in English schools. They’ve had teachers and monitors forcing kids to speak in French even during recess. Of course it doesn’t work and kids will speak in whatever language they want, mainly English.

Happy mint!

I have a little bit of experience in this. Brazilian living in Quebec. So, my friends almost always spoke in Portuguese with their children, school and TV were in French. After some time, school starts also to teach English and they chose the language of the TV. Now the kids are almost always speaking in English, although the are fluent in Portuguese and, of course, French.

Now, my wife and I hated the TV in French, so we kept it in English. So, my kids had to deal with three languages from the start. They mixed everything up and we screwed up by saying words in all three languages. We speak mainly Portuguese but we would use words that they learned in other languages in those languages instead of in Portuguese. In the end, my kids mix all three languages in a single sentence, which is weird as hell. They’re slowly separating the languages and we too. Now, every sentence we speak is in a single language. Their friends help in a way, because they also speak French in class but English outside (and Quebec’s government hates that).

So, if both of you are Portuguese speakers, I’d only speak Portuguese with them and let the TV and school teach English. They’ll know how to keep things separated.

I’m always amazed by how the store near (Canada) me is always full. I don’t know I people are there to buy merch or what, but they’re never empty.

Wow! The first kumquat ever produced. You can fetch good money from collectors.

Nivea Cream used to come in aluminum cans, then they changed to plastic. Recently they announced that they would come back to aluminum. We can still buy in plastic, though. I think it depends on the market.

My experience: regular snapshots plus binlogs being copied to another ec2. So, depending on the retention of the snapshots and logs, I can do a Point In Time Recovery to any second in the last N days. In my case, I set for 2 days. I don’t send anything to S3.
