Humans can be so different, it's fascinating and awesome. I'm quite the opposite. Where I wanted to talk to people from around the world and have some interesting conversations about everything, the fact that they are mostly &quot

I don't hate on Google, but the user highlighted some feature on Google Maps that are not desirable, and clearly knows more about map apps than me, so why not ask him what he uses? Google provides great value, I agree, but sometimes th

What do you use instead of Google Maps? I don't know enough about alternatives to choose one.

Brazilian here. I'm 100% for combating and arresting illegal miners, loggers and farmers, but I also know how big the rainforest is, how long the borders are, and how little personnel there is to do the work. Most people don't hav

I know what you mean. A lot of people in my country just say 'fuck it' to property rights and steal shit by threat of violence. A lot of people here also say 'fuck it' to human rights and it's even wilder the crazy

I had the same thought. The gothic church one, for example. Why wouldn't I just write "A pink gothic church in the sunset" instead of writing "A gothic church" and then having to do the extra steps to turn the word

First thing I thought when I looked at the pictures: "Looks like the first iBook" The "clamshell" iBook was launched in 1999, and the orange one looks like if this car was a laptop.

I have to agree here. I'm all for different architectural styles, so they can embody the local environment, culture, history. Yet that style is the embodiment of an idea more than anything. I know it is linked to a zeitgeist of somewhe

Taut Line Hitch is a little different from Midshipman's Hitch. Midshipman's grips a little better and is recommended. However, Like the other reply to your answer, for me the best of them is the Adjustable Grip Hitch. I teach knot

During wet season its widest point can reach 30 miles. This means that if you're on a boat in the middle of the river, you can't see nothing but water in any direction. To cross it on foot, over some imaginary bridge, would take y

I actually meant "grandparent" instead of "parent". So I'm actually agreeing with you. "unrestrained sexual passion" can then mean almost any kind of sexual passion, since it's 'unrestrained&#x27

I guess what parent is saying is that 'unrestrained' means you can add any word after the "with a ________", since it's unrestrained. I have to disagree, though. Haven't we, as a society, been restricting (righ

I just checked the Detran and IBGE's numbers. There aren't more cars than people in São Paulo. It's a traffic hell, for sure, but still less cars than people.

by EL_Loco 4y ago
No, São Paulo doesn't have more cars than people. I don't know where the parent got their data. I'll stand corrected if shown data supporting it, but the numbers I found were more like 7 cars for ever 10 inhabitants, and I do

I've used and researched a lot of portable wood stoves. If you want a portable rocket stove, the one I would recommend is the Virestove. There are some video reviews on youtube that you can check out before buying it. I haven't us

With streets crowded with scooters during rush hour I think we'd have a lot more minor accidents/injuries, but far, far fewer deaths, right? What could be done to avoid the minor accidents?

"Why is this on HN?" posts are dumb, I'm sorry to say that. If HN's audience didn't give a crap about a post, it won't get to first page.

You don't compare athletes from different eras directly against one another. You compare how dominant and ahead of their peers they were during their respective eras.

Female genital mutilation is common practice in some countries. Let's analyze and study the reasons for this practice that started centuries ago before we can say anything about it. I mean, hey, they burned people at crosses for a long
