Yes, I'm from Extremadura (west of Spain), and we have a lot of pigs roaming on the fields. Cows and sheep too, just drive down any road and you will see them.

Repeat is an iterator, so you can apply it to any type you want, not just strings. You can chain it with other iterators, or collect it into some data structure. But yes, repeat(0) returns an empty iterator. https://doc.rust-lang

In most languages with alphabetic writing, if you know a spoken word, you can write it. But in Chinese and Japanese, people might know a word, use it daily, being able to read it, and still forget how to write it: https://en.wiki

Moors are not black. Or maybe they are from an US point of view, but nobody in Europe would call them black. Africa is divided by the Sahara desert, and most black people come from Sub-Saharan Africa.

That sounds weird to me. Old game consoles with analog video output didn't generate perfect NTSC or PAL timings (for example, the Megadrive would actually run at 59.92274 Hz in NTSC, and 49.701459 Hz in PAL), but it didn't matter

I recently bought a pair of prescription sunglasses and I had to pay almost 35 000 yen, about 250 USD or EUR at the current exchange rate, the same I paid for the previous ones in Spain 5 years ago. I would love to know where I can get them

Quake was the first big game to use floating point for everything and require a FPU, and it was released in 1996. I would guess that by the late 90's plenty of games used floats.

There are many words in Spanish that are distinguished only by the position of the stress. In fact it is very common for verbs, for example: - Cálculo: "calculation" - Calculo: "I calculate" - Calculó: "he calculate

You Germans have them too? Good! In Spain we have used them since forever, but it seems that most countries have yet to discover their wonders. They are one the things I miss the most when living abroad or traveling around.
