It’s a good way to create martyrs.

Because of course they have shitty warp drives, they keep crashing on Earth, they almost never land smoothly on the planet.

Hey, I had one that did exactly that.

I’m actually impressed that hell and damn are so low.

Time to put the last one in a vault and start cloning.

I think I need to watch Fury Road again, because seriously, I didn’t like it. Too cliché, too predictable.

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

What about letting you down?

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!

It wouldn’t be a big loss. That painting is ugly as hell.

Well, the Panama Canal is exactly that, built mostly that way.

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.

MSX, some version of MS-DOS, DR-DOS, Windows 3.0, 3.11, Slackware 3.0, Windows 95,98,NT,XP,7, CentOS, and now, MacOS.

At work, Windows XP,7 and 10, and several versions and flavors of RHEL.

Catapult??? Please… everybody knows the trebuchet is better.

But it’s still wrong, though, as the 9th is about 70 minutes.

There’s even a myth saying that the 9th was the determinant for the length of the original CD.

I haven’t seen this yet, but I remember a show from Discovery about this. “What would happen if, suddenly, humans disappeared from Earth”.

The bad news is that pets would be the first to suffer, specially the ones locked inside homes.

Curiously we wouldn’t have many catastrophes like nuclear accidents or damns breaking (at least for some time) because everything is very automated and many fail safes would engage.

The whole show took as base many cities that had to be abandoned in different ages. It was very interesting.

I like to collect things like this and use on FB when someone comes with that “nature is beautiful” crap.

Now it’s a Sycamore Grave
