I've had jambu in São Paulo many times, although I admit that I visit the city multiple times a year just to eat. It's easy to find tacacá, pirarucu, chicken/duck with tucupi and so on.

I did a road trip from the extreme south to São Paulo (1500km+) last month and found jambu-infused cachaça in the four different states I've been to. Def a recent thing though. I even saw jambu risotto and pastel (stuffed fried crust p

I don't really need the car on a daily basis, mostly for road trips, and, like the US, Brazil has continental proportions (we think in thousands of kms). The BMW iX is very impressive, there are videos of it doing Sao Paulo > Rio, a

In emerging markets, hybrids are a much smarter choice. Here in Brazil there are few fast chargers (say 40kW+), and a great bunch of them are broken anyway. My next car will be a plug-in hybrid. Maybe an electric in 10 years.

I'm Brazilian, lived in Portugal, Germany and Australia for a few years each, and can attest that dental care in Brazil is at least 100x better in every way. It's much less bureaucratic. Many universities offer free-of-charge cons

Wow, this is very hard to read. It should be illegal to use light grey text on a white background.

It is absurd that some hosts will even consider high/club chairs next to a kitchen counter a suitable place for work. It is the most frustrating filter on Airbnb right now. https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/Help&

I've done pretty much everything I could imagine to try to identify the root cause, no doctor could give a reasonable diagnosis. My tinnitus started after a night with earplugs, but it could have been a coincidence since I also used no

Yep, I joined the tinnitus bandwagon in the beginning of the pandemic. I was locked up at home and neighbouring dogs wouldn't shut up all day, so I resorted to earplugs and here I am now. Surprisingly I met at least 5 other people with

It is really next-level. I'm seeing a gigantic full-width ad every 3 or 4 paragraphs, plus a bottom-fixed ad (10 total). That's nuts.

I still don't get why AWS keeps using images to display textual content. It's inaccessible and it looks terrible on mobile devices.

I use Telegram with Voicy with my friends, it's pretty decent at transcribing voice messages from multiple languages. You can even hook it into the Speech-to-Text service from Google Cloud (however the integration doesn't support

Same here, tested dozens of images from our website (user avatars, product images and logos), and the vast majority ended up being larger and with much lower quality. We serve WebPs generated using the sharp library with quality=80.

Apparently there's a subset of American-English speakers that would pronounce "caught" as "kaat". I've always heard it like a longer/smoother "cot" though. I'd say a good first guess is the

Pretty common for me, but I've mostly lived in places with a huge variety of fresh ingredients. That "level of food" is actually not that high in places like Barcelona, Lisbon, Sao Paulo, Sydney, SF, LA, Guangzhou, Bangkok, e
