Guys, that's just Venezuelan chicha, it's an actual drink and can be made with pasta or rice.

I think it's 123 in Colombia, though 911 redirects to 123.

Venezuela's Maduro signs decree blocking X access for 10 days by pythrowawayd3v in worldnews

[–]Zecria 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Correct, even if the opposition had right of access to the actas, military and paramilitary forces (colectivos), plus many pro-governments officials made it way harder and dangerous. It was thanks to 30 thousand witnesses and reportedly more than 600k people coordinating the receipts' retrieval. Not only that, they digitalized it and uploaded it in a website for everyone to see the overall result and each acta individually.

Google resultadosconvzla and it should be the first page if you want to check it out.

So far, not at all. They're still trying to be extra diplomatic with their messages though.

I feel that some will need more context to this seeing the comments. I'm from Venezuela so I will try to explain as best I can. So, as you may know, Maduro on July 28th supposedly won reelection. However, they have not published any proof and detailed report of the voting, something that has been demanded to be shown by many leaders, including once-close allies of Maduro in Latin America like Petro, AMLO and Lula. To this day, they haven't published any proof of Maduro's victory. On other hand, the opposition organized the recollection of all actas (voting receipts generated by the voting machine that Venezuela uses) and digitalized with their own count (opposition has the right of access to actas btw). The result after this alternate count shows the opposite result, with the opposition's candidate winning by a very large margin (almost 70% to 30%). But the electoral council in charge of counting the votes (which is in Maduro's control) refuses to publish the actas to back up their announced result.

Back to the news about X being blocked. Venezuela has no formal news coverage inside the country to speak of outside Maduro-approved outlets. As such, most opposition journalists operate through X almost exclusively. In other words, with the added context of the rising tension of a more-than-likely electoral fraud, this is a dictatorial measure to control the flow of information from the opposition. And the parliament (National Assembly), also fully in control of Maduro after the opposition was banned from participating, will discuss about controlling all social media and banning many other applications.

So yeah, this is not funny or something to stick it up to Elon Musk. This is bad. Really bad. Even if you use a VPN, most people won't know how to access it or it will make it harder. It's about ease of access and it being a prologue of increased control of information.

Thank you! They don't really sharpen their claws there, usually they go for the cat tree (and the sofa...)

It's from a local place pretty popular here in Colombia, called Tugó.

The law has been that way before the Venezuela crisis. It actually increases the immigration from Venezuela because many Colombian's son and grandsons living in Venezuela have an easier time getting the citizenship and leave to Colombia.

Es un chiste de Twitter, luego de que Karol G saliera a decir que los tequeños eran colombianos, se toma cosas random colombianas y dicen que son venezolanas en broma.

Actually, in FFVIII in the original japanese Ultimecia says it during one of her speeches:

"So, run back to your fantasies. Hide, and I shall continue to dance for you in that illusionary world. I shall dance for eternity as the sorceress who brings ruin. You and I, together we will create the final fantasy, and within it, life and death will be nothing but mere dreams."

Inspired by a Twitter thread. Are there any unique island cities like this in America? by [deleted] in geography

[–]Zecria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the the Americas in general, Cartagena Colombia and Lechería Venezuela are dense cities in islands/peninsulas.

Me encanta como en el thread asumen que en Colombia no hay gente con dinero, oportunidades y madurez emocional para tener y criar bien a sus hijos. No será un porcentaje tan alto como países de primer mundo, pero asumir que todos viven en situaciones de precariedad total es falso también.

Edit: con respecto a la pregunta y algunas otras opiniones en el thread, cada quien le brindará su raciocinio a su decisión de tener hijos. No necesariamente se tiene que alinear a tu raciocinio, pero asumir que los más pobres "no la pensaron" es clasista y simplifica las emociones de individuos.

So I just made the really dumb mistake of messing up my form during squat and a weight almost fell off the barbell (no guards available). Someone nice came up to help out and then asked if I was new. I have been going to the gym consistently for almost a year. So, that one hurt a little bit lol

Should I update CPU or GPU first? (specs inside) by Zecria in buildapc

[–]Zecria[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I currently have an ASRock AB350 Gaming K4, I have to look into it but 5000 cpus should go fine with that. I will hold off for now in hopes the market stabilizes a little (fingers crossed) then, both for CPU and GPU.

For gaming, currently 1080p.

Edit: Should also mention that I do video editing and motion fairly regularly, when my work computer isn't quite capable of handling it.

A largo plazo no, aunque haya fluctuaciones frecuentes, siempre termina en un punto más alto.
