  • Regarding the painting, while that is a common interpretation, what it was meant to depict, if anything, is unknown; it was found after the painter's death with no information about it.

  • People with nothing to hide need not be bothered about surveillance, Supreme Court says

    Jump

  • Also, the Brazilian Constitution only protects speech if it's not anonymous.

  • You lost me at "Stormtroopers" and "Precise"

    Jump

  • In colloquial language the terms are basically synonyms.

  • TIL that Michel Temer, Former Conservative President of Brazil, is now a lobbyist for Tech Companies

    Jump

  • Temer became president after the soft coup that removed president Dilma, as he was her vice.

    He was almost impeached as well, but managed to buy Congress with a couple billion reais meant for education.

    IIRC he is the most hated president in Brazilian history, even more than Bolsonaro.

  • "Surely such a new and innovative republic as our's will not simply devour our land and then move West like a plague of locusts?"

    Jump

  • I don't know how it is in the US nowadays, but here in Brazil monoculture is a terrible issue; if it weren't for modern fertilizers a significant part of agricultural land would be completely barren.

  • One thing that absolutely baffles me is that crop rotation is not even modern, there are some 3000-4000 years old laws in the Bible telling to do it, including letting the land "rest" every 7 years.

  • Pasta Time™

    Jump

  • I cut it with a fork against the side of the pot to check if it's done.

  • What

    Jump

  • 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.

  • What

    Jump

  • 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.

  • What

    Jump

  • 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)

  • TIL: Metric Horsepower

    Jump

  • I think I only heard/read it once or twice, but yes, I think most shorten it to just cavalos

  • TIL: Metric Horsepower

    Jump

  • In Portuguese it's called steam-horse (cavalo-vapor)

  • What exactly is the reasoning behind Satan ruling Hell?

    Jump

  • Satan means "Accuser", in the book of Job he is trying to convince God that humans are too wicked and corrupt to deserve all the gifts God gives us, and and that people only pretend to love God because we expect something in return.

  • What exactly is the reasoning behind Satan ruling Hell?

    Jump

  • In the book of Apocalypse/Revelation that's 2 places, there's the Land of the Dead, and the Lake of Fire; it tells the former will be thrown into the latter at the very end of things, after the Land of the Dead has been emptied.

  • What exactly is the reasoning behind Satan ruling Hell?

    Jump

  • And even on Dante's Inferno Satan is just another prisoner, not a ruler.

  • Paraguay hours

    Jump

  • I don't know how widespread this theory is, but in school my teacher told that one of the reasons for the war was that Paraguay was building an economy independent from the English market, and England fearing it would be a "bad influence" on the neighbours, pushed them into attacking (or provoking) Paraguay.

  • Same gurl... same

    Jump

  • Not remembering childhood is not necessarily an ADHD thing. The puberty hormones tell the brain to prune older memories, IIRC it's called "childhood amnesia".

  • Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux?

    Jump

  • You could also try installing Windows IoT LTSC.

  • Happy rapture day

  • Nero didn't pretend to care about Christians or for their support; although if there were MAGA-like "Christians" in the Roman Empire he maybe might have liked them?
