There are some German dialects that only survive (barely) in Brazil.

And the German language is much older than Germany.

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.

Flags don’t make sense.
Otherwise this is completely valid:

( ) German 🇧🇷
( ) Italian 🇧🇷
( ) Japanese 🇧🇷

From south Brazil.

For something not urgent I can usually get a private GP within a week or a specialist within a month.

For something a bit more urgent, usually 1-2 hours in a private hospital, or 2-6 hours in a public one.

When going private the health insurance has always covered everything, so no cost.
Never had an emergency so I can’t say how it is.

North America, maybe. Here in Brazil most houses are brick.

I’ve read that all modern cryptography is based on an area (number theory?) that was once only considered “useful” for party tricks.

Fun curiosity: the original Goya painting was found in his house after he died and its intended meaning, if any, is unknown.

Mastodon clients add ats automatically, but it’s not required, like this comment.

It’s 30 days, but weekends count. Recently the law was amended to disallow scheduling vacations to start on a Friday because of that. It can be taken in full, or 15+15, or 10+20, or 10+10+10.

Brazil.
30 days + a lot of holidays.
At least 2 years for sickness if I’m not mistaken.

The numbers actually seem reasonable…

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.

Cauliflower and broccoli have the same recipe: small pieces; steam for around 10 minutes; it’s done when it starts getting soft.

Season as you like. I like with either just a bit of salt, or covered with butter fried breadcrumbs.

If I time traveled to the same geographical region, considering I’m in South Brazil, if I don’t get immediately killed by some jungle animal or tropical disease, I’d probably end up starting a pandemic among the natives.

Well, the Christian faith is that He is alive right now, and also as God has omniscience.

One technique I’ve heard being used by Bible translators to learn new languages: show some curious/interesting object, you’ll learn the phrase “what is this?”, then start pointing at everything and repeating it.

It is a nice backpack tho…
