   Very cool. I also did a small web project with my 9yo son, while my 1yo daughter stayed on my lap. He mentioned a website name, tiramacacos.com (means take-boogers). I said we could do something about it and in a few minutes we had the artw

   I use Destinia.com. They usually have the same hotels as other sites but prices are usually much cheaper. Sometimes not just slightly cheaper, but €500+ cheaper. Been using them for more than 10 years.

   Yes, but let's not get over excited. I'm fed up with their ads to subscribe to their services in macOS/iOS: the App Store, on Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Fitness+... I'm getting tired of clicking "no thank you".

   May be true for UK, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Scandinavia but everywhere else I'd say it will be very difficult. I'm in Portugal. 100k is a mirage.

   Also funny, I visited Jordan 2 years ago, right before the pandemic. I was expecting to have to haggle prices like in other places but it just didn't happen, didn't feel I was paying tourist prices at all. Street sellers didn&#x27

   2 years ago on New Year’s Eve, I was on the couch with my wife talking and my Apple Watch sent a text message to the cleaning lady saying “I love you”. My guess is that the raise to talk gesture was triggered accidentally, and it somehow to

   I’m not the original commenter, but I’m Portuguese living a small city and I’d say most Brazilians that live here can blend easily. My kids have some Brazilian friends at school at they get along well.

    Yes, I lived in Lisbon, Portugal and after starting a remote job I decided to move back to my hometown. All my family lives here, the kids have a quieter environment to grow up, housing is much cheaper. Some downsides, but very happy with t

    I’m doing a surfing class booking platform. I felt a need for something like this as a surfing student: I was booking classes via messaging/phone. A few years go by and I forget about it, but recently I meet the owners of two surfing s

    You can also use a single note sample (eg, C4) and tweak the playback frequency. This is how some keyboards do it. Also tracked music does it, simple and cheap.

    I use the normal Portuguese keyboards but with the US intl layout. Remnants from a time where my iBook g3 keyboard was US, and the Portuguese layout cost extra. I never got used to the Mac Portuguese layout either. Shortcut issues and some

    I read José Saramago and at times felt his writing similar to Vonnegut. Perhaps you’ll like it. Blindness is a good first read.

    Years ago calling and immediately hanging up was immensely popular among teenagers/young adults as a way to ping someone. Used as a way of flirting, telling something was ready, arrived at home.

    Sounds a lot like Encounter with Tiber by Buzz Aldrin, only it used a long drogue wire to brake electrostatically. It was only a book, but these details felt realistic enough.
