You might be envisioning a more direct route that doesn't include the Foz do Iguaçu part (maybe crossing the border in Uruguaiana or something). I bet that exists as a commercial bus route option too, but the Foz do Iguaçu stopover is

I remember Buenos Aires to Porto Alegre (via Foz do Iguaçu) by bus. I guess that's about 1/4 or 1/3 as far, with somewhat less dramatic landscapes. Extremely comfortable except for the violent action movies shown on an overhe

I remember a couple of friends using DR DOS in the 1980s. There seemed to be a disagreement about whether to pronounce it as /di ɑɹ/ or "doctor". (I realize it was named after a company and not after a doctor, so the for

Also, it's probably tricky to find a Schelling point that a broad range of people can agree to. * no military use * no lethal use * no use in support of law enforcement * no use in support of immigration enforcement * no use in mass su

I resemble that remark! For a modern semantic parallel, we might point to the phrase "she's quite a looker". It's also interesting to see the words related to hearing and reputation; I'm thinking of Greek https:&#x

I just chaired a session at the FOCI conference earlier today, where people were talking about Internet censorship circumvention technologies and how to prevent governments from blocking them. I'd like to remind everyone that the U.S.
