There's some brands in south Brazil that sell in a vacuum bag, like coffee, that I store for an entire year. This is how I'm "importing" the good stuff to Rio from south Brazil or Buenos Aires, Argentina sometimes. It&#x

Definitely. Here in Brazil we brush our teeth 3 times every day (most people that I know). And I do this professional cleaning once in a year/2-years for other reasons as well. No issues. I drink since I was 7 y.o. (some decades counti

So they will shoot in their own foot. There's already an Apple extra margin here over the US retail price. A USD 1000 Dell notebook here is about BRL ~9000 with all taxes. A USD 1000 Apple MacBook is BRL ~20000. So there's somethi

I also have learned that people that worked long time with toxic people, or are the toxic ones that are more sensitive to this. One starts being afraid of openness. It's hard - but a wonderful soft skill - to do this in semipublic en

There are also some rough edges that you need to take care. For instance, my nix installation `locale` was not `UTF-8` (after the first `devbox shell` run), but all my tools and code needs the locale to be UTF8. When you quick check `locale
