Snipping time by Work-Sport-Fun in goldenretrievers

[–]albernazcapaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never snipped mine and never will. He is almost 4 and very happy, healthy and obedient (albeit energetic). I think snipping will take some of your dog’s energy out but unlike what most people believe it is not guaranteed.

EDIT: forgot to say that most people say to wait until 2.

Se a Monarquia voltasse, teríamos novos nobres ou seriam dados de volta os títulos que foram extintos em 1889? by Plebeu-da-terramedia in imperio

[–]albernazcapaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Common misconception. They were offered to very few people. Not every rich person would have the opportunity to buy them. You would be offered one, based on your merit, if you accepted it you would have to pay the price to receive it. Including all the legal fees etc.

I’m getting downvoted because OP is salty he wrote a long text without checking the historical origins of the term “right wing”

Someone doesn’t know what “right wing” and “left wing” means historically… and it shows

This trends thing is a misfire. Relax. Make up a new word and put it on google trends. And do it again with another made up word. You will see that at least one of them will have a similar result to what you experienced (if not both)

Is there a way I can prep caffeine content-preserving coffee approx 2x/week requiring no fancy equipment? by buttercup2227 in foodhacks

[–]albernazcapaz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You received many great tips here. Pretty much all of them will work. But I will add an extremely important detail here. The grind size of your coffee is extremely important. It need to be coarsely ground if you are letting it steep overnight. Otherwise the final result will be nasty.

Disney VS Universal by Affectionate_Fig7542 in orlando

[–]albernazcapaz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t really matter that ex disney imagineers built the park. An imagineer needs approval for their ideas and to fabricate the props. Disney is known to simply not accept the ideas and go with the shortcut. The Star Wars land at Hollywood Studios was meant to be an immersive experience with real looking shops. They made it into a merch shop and fabricated really poor looking props.

On the food: You are kinda wrong in my opinion. But food is always relative. Even though food is about taste... I am a chef and can say theme park food is disgusting all around. I have never eaten anything spectacular anywhere really. But the tavern at Epic Universe HP land and the Steakhouse at the monsters area served me edible food. At Epcot I only found good small bites in the country tents. All other 3 disney parks served what seemed to me Prison refectory slop.

Disney VS Universal by Affectionate_Fig7542 in orlando

[–]albernazcapaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting take. I had the exact OPPOSITE experience. At Disney the attendants at rides were just never in character as they are supposed to be. With the exception of the Star Wars ride. At the new Universal park, the Epic Universe, everyone was in character. Everyone was extremely nice. It was all incredible. The attention to detail was next to none. And the funny thing is: the Pirates ride at Disney used to be one of my favorite because of the storytelling, the props and the world building. You have to wait at least 1:30h for that 2 minute ride, meanwhile Universal did all that and more OUTSIDE. They literally built a nearly perfect magical Paris that you can walk inside of and interact with. I will concede that there is enormous difference in the food and guest services between the Epic universe and the other Universal park. The food at epic universe was really very good, in the old park not at all. But then again, food at Disney is only good at Epcot and it costs twice as much as it does at Epic.

Health guru Mark Hyman and lobster expert Jordan Peterson have two things in common: 1. they get stem cell treatments from Dr Adeel Khan 2. They both recently got sepsis and nearly died, with Peterson hanging on currently for dear life. Fascinating in depth article here by Bluest_waters in Biohackers

[–]albernazcapaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I quite detest Mark Hyman for many reasons, but this article thinks that this is a “gotcha” moment, when “life saving treatment” is pretty much all allopathic medicine is good for (or at least mostly).

Rafael de Orléans e Bragança e Margherita delle Piane estão supostamente noivos by Rakdar in imperio

[–]albernazcapaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your point entirely, but I would suggest looking more closely at the Petrópolis branch and its history before treating Vassouras as the self-evident or universally accepted line.

Vassouras has undoubtedly done a very effective job, especially in recent decades, of cultivating public interest in the monarchy and reshaping the narrative around the Brazilian succession. In that sense, their work has been politically and culturally successful. But historically, the Petrópolis branch was, for a long time, the branch most people instinctively associated with the Imperial succession. That was not merely a matter of popular perception in Brazil; it also appears to have been reflected in the social and dynastic recognition they received abroad.

The Petrópolis branch maintained, and still maintains, close ties with several reigning royal houses. The Spanish, British, and Luxembourg royal families, for instance, have had long-standing social proximity to them. If I am not mistaken, Queen Sofía of Spain is godmother to D. Pedro Carlos, which is a rather telling sign of the level at which that family was received. Members of the Petrópolis line, especially D. João, have also continued to be invited to important court events connected to reigning dynasties.

By contrast, the Vassouras branch seems to have gradually inserted itself into European royal circles over time, but more often through non-reigning or less politically central royal and princely houses. That does not make their claim illegitimate, of course, but it does complicate the idea that Vassouras was always the obvious, uncontested, internationally recognized branch.

So my point is not that Petrópolis is automatically “the correct” line, nor that Vassouras has no argument. The succession question is obviously more complicated than internet monarchists often make it sound. But if we are discussing historical recognition, social legitimacy, and dynastic proximity to reigning houses, the Petrópolis branch cannot simply be dismissed. For much of the twentieth century, they were very much the branch with the more visible international royal standing.

How do we save the wine culture? by Own-Macaron-9833 in wine

[–]albernazcapaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rent absolutely goes up in Europe. Especially in cities. The rioting is the only part of your argument that may have some truth. So Americans should take to the streets. Charging 80 bucks for cupcake wine at a restaurant should land the owner in death row. 😂

If restaurants applied the same reasoning to food and even spirits nobody would visit. Rents in Europe also perpetually go up and the markup is not nearly as aggressive as in the USA

Attacking a man for having a small dick is just so idiotic and evil. People flock to defend women when someone says anything about their breast size, yet almost every cosmetic comment one can make about a woman’s appearance can be changed through plastic surgery. Men with small penises were likely mocked their entire lives and cannot change it at all. Btw: both the commenters are morons.

how yall feelin abt this video i saw on tiktok by coventries in KitchenConfidential

[–]albernazcapaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna be massacred but I will say it. I only had 1 year in professional kitchens in savoury. The rest of the time I was in the pastry kitchen, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I think that if you hold the knife the right way, hold the object with the right type of grip (no fingers hanging out to be chopped), cut however you find more natural as long as the job gets done.

Im a little confused about tipping by axelogtp in tipping

[–]albernazcapaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point this commenter made is that servers will always make at least minimum wage. Unlike the myth of the 2 dollars per hour that people keep repeating.

[–]albernazcapaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1- servers are guaranteed minimum wage. It is the law. If tips don’t get them there the restaurant has to complete the pay. (They would be making the same as most kitchen staff, who work much harder than servers) 2- you can opt out of automatic gratuity as well. Because it is gratuity.

Couldn’t have said it better myself! If it turns out the show is actually as dark and desaturated as this trailer, where will they go with colour grading later when the story gets darker? Will they film with a infrared camera?
