They are less powerful and easier to tax. It’s all about power, The rich by themselves are less powerful than the masses when the masses are together. Which is why they’re taxed at all. There’s something more powerful

A year ago I was surprised how large the Portuguese bicycle industry is, as I thought we had none. I assumed we wouldn’t be able to compete with you guys, but turns out the Dutch are that Big an importer

They might realise you play paradox games and be weirded out

Same! Telling myself I’ll get back to it tho

The rivers bring salt to the lakes and ocean that they erode when passing. Those get saltier over time. Evaporation filters that out and feeds the fresh water to everything again, but the salt gets deposited in the more permanent structures.

Glad you linked it, I had Japanese Soba in my mind

Garlic butter spread over bread (alentejano bread has a tiny bit of olive oil and it’s preferred but it’s the bread that’s at hand, white form toast bread usually), toasted with filling of green olives, mushroom, dried tomato and peanut butter.

It’s all preserved stuff so it’s back up when you don’t have fresh things and the sweet of the peanut butter ties in with the olives quite nicely, I only like black oxidated olives otherwise.

What’s your standards for food you’d make for other people?

People who enjoy eating enjoy tasting or enjoy the feeling of things going down their throat. Can be psychological too and not attached to the physical stimulus.

Do you guys not like sugar or the sting of spice? The whole ritual around eating, making food or heading somewhere to eat influences how good food makes you feel.

Just want to add that the Portuguese document there is a scientific paper, not legislation. Not sure on how proposals might have been changed the law in the 4 years after it but it’s become more pertinent because the increase of tourism was accompanied by these scams (my source for this is word of mouth, take it with a grain of salt)

The first one had one advantage the others will never have, it was brand new, everything was new. Any other that comes out you’ll have expectations. It needs to be better to even match how good it felt to play for the first time.

They didn’t manage, they’ve just offer good enough for you not to care. In case of movies or series you care because they are a lot more limited

Pretty cool. Wasn’t what I expected. Flows nice

What’s an example track you like?

Ah, yeah I get that. Java interpreter so you can virtual machine your way into having someone else making sure the thing works with all hardware it can live in.

Blind scalability and flexibility are neat tho, gives access to a lot less knowledgeable people to do stuff and theoretically frees up those who know for more complicated tasks.

Whole that’s true, you have Philips and flat heads and ikea hex which could all be those sort of flat and star that are for common people that could be more universal.

About software were a lot freeer, because if it doesn’t have hardware and specially infrastructure requirements, such as the whole Internet layers or new visualisation devices you’re open to change things up a lot.

And a few more, and apples. But statistically…

Statistically, that’s what’s on your phone.

Something I’ve noticed in places I’ve work that aren’t small, whoever has talent gets promoted into being half the time in meetings at best, and at worse into managing teams and working by Outlook.

But the trick is having layers of monkey spheres! The ceo monkey has 20 directors below it and each of those has 20 people leading people so it all reports up and gets lost but is “good enough”.
