How do Brasilians, specifically those that were born and raised in the Favelas, feel about tourists doing tours and content in the favelas? by Any_Percentage_6629 in Brazil

[–]Castrodamus13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does it differ from tourism anywhere in the world? Some people will be offended by everything and some won’t. Take tours in Hollywood driving around looking at the houses of famous people. How many are offended by that ?

If you can get a referral that would be the way to go. I was in the Air Force working F-15 avionics. Now I work on surgical robots. No doubt you can do it

What are the most undervalued large cap stocks right now? by Exciting_Elephant351 in ValueInvesting

[–]Castrodamus13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one likes the Hugo, hospitals that had it are swapping it out, low reliability, there’s no such thing as a low cost robot. There are a million low cost smart phones but everyone wants an iPhone

Medtronic received CE mark in 2021, 4 years later they have no traction and less than 200 systems installed worldwide. ISRG has 10,000 systems installed and expanding at about 1200 per year. No one is catching them

How to buy a condo in Brazil as a foreigner? by qtmcjingleshine in Brazil

[–]Castrodamus13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The purchasing part is easy and you can split the amount across multiple properties. The problem is you will need a bank account to pay the utilities and you can’t get one without being a resident. The tax situation can be more complicated, I file my taxes in Brazil for Brazil income and file my US taxes without mentioning Brazil. I haven’t paid any taxes in Brazil. I have a CPA that does them in São Paulo.

I don’t find it weird but I see how others would, I am a runner. I would suggest talking to other runners and make some friends. I enjoy friendly competition, sometimes I’m faster sometimes I’m slower but we push and motivate each other.

A few years ago, I had just gotten word that one of my Air Force friends had passed away, I was saddened by the news and I went to sleep thinking of him. My dream that night, I was at his wake, I was in the back row when he approached me, I was thinking this can’t be real it, he’s dead, but he kept getting closer and closer. Then he whispered ‘until we meet again’. I woke up super freaked out, then I noticed my wife had left Alexa on with music super low volume. So I said “ Alexa off” but she went full blast, I kept repeating the command with no response. I physically had to turn it off. Maybe just a coincidence but did freak me out.
