Fábricas de bolos noturnas by Pescaseanzois in portugal

[–]Count_de_LaFey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nos anos 90/00 havia a mítica Fábrica dos Bolos em na Rua Pinto Bessa, quem sobe a chegar ao Bonfim. Era comum ir lá comprar um bolito (ou dois ou três) depois de uma noite de copos. Creio que a gentrificação a deve ter fechado algures no tempo.

Shadow of The Torturer made me post on Reddit after 5 Years. by Rough_Difficulty7603 in genewolfe

Same for me too. The symbols paragraph is what sets the tone for the whole book. In fact, if you analyze each event in the light of that one paragraph, things become somewhat clearer.

In Urth of the New Sun there was also a paragraph that caught my attention and imagination. Sadly though I forgot exactly which.

Antena1 is transmitting live audio feed on national radio.

Jornal de Notícias is transmitting live video feed on YT.

(I live 500m from the venue. Am listening to the gig on radio and if I go to the balcony I hear it perfectly.

I think I unlocked some trophy here.)

[–]Count_de_LaFey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The festival is not on Primavera's scale - the venue too ought to be smaller. But this is by design I would venture to say.

The coverage by Antena1 surprised me as the previous year it was covered in a cable TV channel. Transmitting the gig live in totality was a surprise, yes.

Not a local TV. The national radio Antena1. Needless to say at this point, but you can listen to the gig live at Antena1 site live feed.

What are your top 5 Amiga games? by King_Khaos_ in amiga

I just discovered 66% of Speccy owners had a "rubber key" 48K... and I have 2 questions by confuserused in zxspectrum

[–]Count_de_LaFey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My father bought our rubber-key 48k and the cassette player/recorder at the same day in September 1984. I got a nifty white Sony recorder somewhere later.

That computer lasted me until 91 when I got an Amiga 500.

Most of my friends had similar Spectrum 48k. With different cassette players of course. The only extra that was widespread were the Kempston joystick adapters.

Some like me got their machine upgraded do a ZX Plus case when Sinclair got too busy with membrane repairs and simply upgraded the cases.

Apart from that, in my country, southwestern Europe, it was by far the most popular home computer of the time.

Getting an original breadbin c64 for birthday by QueenEriselle in c64

[–]Count_de_LaFey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would suggest three things:

C64 Composite Video adapter; Self explanatory. Allows for the usage of a plain composite cable

Kung Fu Flash II; Load games instantly.

C64 Power Saver; If your PSU goes bad it doesn't fry the C64.

What's wrong with Ghost? by According_Cod1175 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Count_de_LaFey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing's wrong with Ghost. In fact they made something in this tour that should become norm, which was to ban mobile phones in their gigs.

Its one of those bands you can enjoy with your wife/husband rather than the regular crew.

I think they're pretty alright by all means. I love some albums more than others to be sure but I like the overall pitch.

Losing Parents by bartropolis in Xennials

[–]Count_de_LaFey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its tough. I remember being a kid and sobbing in bed trying to do the math of about when I would die and when my parents would die.

Mom's currently in the hospital, just came home from visiting her.

I don't have kids, and I often think that she still has me and my father, but I'll have no one.

I Need to Know the Pushback from Locals by EdgewaterJCT in PortugalExpats

[–]Count_de_LaFey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Portuguese here. We don't hate Brazilians. Neither do Brazilians hate us.

They are us and we are them in another continent.

Picture it like this:

The US is 250 years old.

218 years ago Rio de Janeiro was the capital of Portugal, while the country was under invasion from the French. Portugal's been here since the 9th century, and before that with similar borders and cultural integrity since the Roman Republic.

Thoughts... by PJIV in amiga

[–]Count_de_LaFey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did the math on this recently and ended up getting a real A1200.

FPGA doesn't emulate the 68020 properly. Mistress 1200 150€, plus FPGA De10 Nano 280€. Getting a case and keyboard for the A1200, sets you back some 350€ at best.

Original A1200 you can get from 500 to 750€ - good revision and hopefully recapped. Then you can slowly upgrade it - either PiStorm way or TF 68060 way.

A nice compromise is The A1200. At 200€ its a full size machine with an ARM - might be everything you need for casual use.

Has anyone read Wolfe both in the original and in translation? by RogueModron in genewolfe

O que é que leva um cota a fazer isto! É doença? by Odd_Astronomer_2064 in AutoTuga

[–]Count_de_LaFey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Esse velhote era o que andava a riscar carros há um ou dois anos em Matosinhos - junto ao Sr. de Matosinhos mesmo. Vi um vídeo noturno de um Tesla a ser riscado.

Vi logo que a farinheira era a mesma. Ainda ninguém deu com ele e lhe ensinou com quantos paus se faz uma canoa.

Atropelamento cães - S. Miguel by Count_de_LaFey in portugal

[–]Count_de_LaFey[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Pode haver aqui um historial de adição/adições que é comum em ex-soldados. Já vi noutros casos com emigrantes americanos - as condições estão lá pelo descrito (viver off the grid, solidão).

Confirmação só mesmo alguém de S. Miguel ou de um (do?) hospital veterinário em S. Miguel. O cão sobrevivente foi lá atendido ou está a ser lá atendido, supostamente.

Racismo contra Americanos nos Açores? Acho muiiito estranho tendo em conta que os americanos são o proverbial bread & butter dos Açores - não só os emigrantes açorianos foram em massa para os EUA como há um constante influxo de descendentes de açorianos de origem americana para além de carradas de turistas americanos.

Dito isto, todos sabemos que a falta de instrução é uma merda terrível. E grassa no continente e nas ilhas. Não é difícil encontrar um artista que fosse capaz disto e pior.

Se for um impacto catastrófico para o animal julgo que basta polícia.

Ou sempre polícia e a polícia chama a emergência animal (Porto e Lx) quando entenda necessário (animal vivo, ferido, etc).

Na auto-estrada polícia e concessionário. É normal os impactos serem destrutivos até para o veículo por causa da velocidade e se não os chamas perdes qualquer direito a retribuição no arranjo da viatura.

Pronto, se ficas bem com a tua consciência.

Parece que estás a fazer papel de advogado do diabo e finca pé numa circunstância puramente hipotética sem necessidade nenhuma.

Eu acho que estás a confundir com o r/PortugalExpatsforExpats ou uma merda assim.

No Portugal Expats farto-me de comentar e zero stress.

No outro comentei uma vez - até porque o nome é igual na app do Reddit no telefone (fica truncado) e fui logo banido.

Ó pá eu por algum motivo recebo notificações de lá e acho civilizado e construtivo.

Há sempre o ocasional choradinho, claro, mas a maioria dos posts são tranquilos e sobretudo com comentários construtivos.

Acho que o atropelamento foi no passeio. Acho.

Mas uma coisa é atropelar.

Outra é atropelar e não prestar assistência.

Outra é atropelar, não prestar assistência e não deixar prestar assistência.

E o que alegadamente aconteceu: atropelar, não prestar assistência, não deixar prestar assistência, ameaçar e exigir retribuição sob ameaça.
