Not a good joke. It’s an annoying stereotype, although unfortunately some around here make it sort of deserved 😮💨
Yes, there are many Germanic colonies around here, last year we did celebrate 200 years of immigration. Fun fact: the wife of the first Brazilian emperor was an Austrian Habsburg.
My city was founded in 1850, before Germany was even a single country.
While I don’t know when exactly my family came here I know it was way before WW2.
I come from a Germanic colony in Brazil, and while the language has been mostly genocided out, people still sometimes drop random German words in the middle of Portuguese, or mix Portuguese words with some German grammar.
My mother when younger visited Germany and got confused looks from the family hosting her by asking where was the “lixolatte” (“lata de lixo” is the Portuguese for garbage can)
A problem is that people are both very stupid and very smart, just not about the same things.
Makes me wonder what they are doing to reach these figures.
Because I can run many models at home and it wouldn’t require me to be pouring bottles of water on my PC, nor it would show on my electricity bill.
AFAIK the “issues” with Audacity were only that they added optional telemetry, and made the project lead a former Microsoft guy.
I may be wrong, I avoid looking too much into this type of drama.
The original reason for it is not even valid anymore (church losing land due to the priests’ children inheriting it).
Parsing user input? Nonsense data coming from an API?
Nile Tilapia.
Also a type of duck we in my region of Brazil call “marreco”, the name in English seems to be Teal or Garganey.
North America, maybe. Here in Brazil most houses are brick.
Fun curiosity: the original Goya painting was found in his house after he died and its intended meaning, if any, is unknown.
A tip for this: the accelerator is less important, slowly release the clutch until you feel the car vibrating, then you can release the brakes and the car will not move, or start moving slowly, then you can start accelerating and releasing the rest of the clutch.
That is what version control is for.
It’s not as clear as real vision, but if I close my eyes I can really “see” a visual image of the thing I’m thinking of.
Really like a “visual hallucination” as you said, but it clearly exists in, how can I say? “Another space”?
It doesn’t automatically translate to the muscle movements required to draw it.
I don’t know if it’s correct, but for the first type I once read that it might be because of the packaging and/or the interaction between product and packaging that might affect the product. And even if it would still be “never expires”, the company doesn’t want to pay to verify.
They are “media transformers” and might be useful if limited to it.
Knowledge retrieval certainly not, as “they” know nothing besides how likely one data fragment is to appear near other data fragments.
Brazil is also doing this. My wife is a teacher and said that the kids are much less agitated and anxious this year.
There’s no year 0
I recently learned that some traditions equate the cross with the Tree of Life from the Eden.
