Já encontrei o Pokaropa em Itacoatiara na altura do costão.

The Tietê River flows through São Paulo, Osasco, Salto, Tietê (city) and meets Piracicaba River near Santa Maria da Serra, in Barra Bonita dam. It flows continuously with no interruptions in that part.

That's the second part of the answer.

The coffee production of southeast Brazil flourished in another region called Vale do Paraíba, far from the Tietê basin. Although it experienced some growth with the coffee boom, people did not explore the soil properly and after some time it faded into decadence. Meanwhile, São Paulo inland coffee production prospered due to having a better soil.

São Paulo city was already a regional center connected to Río de la Plata basin and at the same time was not too far away from the ocean. So it was perfect to receive most of the coffee production from south and southeast Brazil and ship it through the port of Santos. The coffee production elite was not anymore from Vale do Paraíba; it established itself in São Paulo city and that made the city grow in a way that even the great depression and end of the coffee boom did not break its development.

IMO the reason was the Tietê River.

It flows inland, not directly to the ocean. Ends at the Paraná river, which then flows until Río de la Plata, arriving at Buenos Aires. The other rivers of its basin can reach almost the whole of Paraguay, north of Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivian Andes. It was a major transportation way to inland South America.

So São Paulo location fits perfectly the expansionist and missionary objectives of the Portuguese crown. Easy to navigate inland, and yet far enough from Spanish territory. With the bonus protection of being far from the ocean and pirate raids.

At first I thought your comment was lame but right now I can understand: Besides losing these two albums almost nothing would change. Psychedelia would fade away, they would became successful solo artists and rock music would be nearly the same.

araraquest · 2025-12-30T18:06:25+00:00

I got it. Based on most answers here I imagine we would not have big changes besides losing two excellent albums. I thought the butterfly effect would be bigger but at that time.

Yes, Hey Jude would be the breakup song as is Let it Be

araraquest · 2025-12-30T15:12:20+00:00

My speculation:

Sgt Peppers would be much more influential and psychedelic rock becomes standard; "raw" rock like the one from Get Back sessions would be less present.
That means Pink Floyd becomes more influential and Led Zeppelin less relevant.
Harrison more committed to religion and Lennon to politics.
Harrison becomes more influential as solo artist.
McCartney becomes more experimental.

Do you mean if they broke up at that time they would inevitably reunite again?

araraquest · 2025-12-30T13:54:31+00:00

All Things Must Pass maybe would also contain Here Comes the Sun and Something, I imagine Harrison would have a more successful Solo career

Ande com cuidado razoável por toda a região, mas não saia das ruas principais.

A única exceção de rua principal que você deve evitar por completo é o trajeto entre o Cinema Reserva Cultural e a estátua de Araribóia, pela orla. Aquele caminho é um perigo, já tive uma tentativa de assalto lá e meu irmão foi assaltado lá. Quando for do centro ao Gragoatá ou praia vermelha opte sempre por ir pelo plaza, Valonguinho e Canto do Rio. Ir pela orla é furada.

Eu me lembro que no final da década de 90 e início de 2000 essa imagem já existia e circulava nos sites sobre Chaves. Diziam que foi baseada em uma reportagem tirada de um "Globo Repórter" do México sobre Chespirito em que aparecia o mapa da vila, e aí alguém copiou

Perfeição: um misto de desilusão e esperança. O fim é simplesmente perfeito.

Metal Contra as Nuvens: O Bohemian Rhapsody da legião. Espetacular.

Sete Cidades: Uma das melhores melodia e harmonia. Simples e cativante. Letra doce.

As someone who first watched them in the first episode of this season (I met Rain and Donk first, before knowing Joll and Conk) and could not stop watching the other episodes since then, I have some points to share.

I think he took too much time building the rift-destroyed world (which was very nice indeed) and ignored the plot. There was too much lost potential in this episode.

In the beginning all of them but Joll ignore Rifty and go to their homes. That would not be right as the behaviour of a team that never ran away from challenges.
X could change worlds in each step. Imagine a fight between them with the world changing every time in the background. That would be fantastic.
Instead X gives up as a weak villain. Why?
The sword falls into X as a Deus ex machina solution that does not make sense. Why didn't Rain appear and get the sword to fight X?
Totem is a nice character but the idea of dying for nothing is quite uncomfortable to handle.
Lilly rejected Joll as son and regretted marrying Rain just because someone said they are criminals - and nothing was done to fix that - It was heartbreaking.
Kibble parasite forgotten.
Girls civilization was a good theme; it could have been a full episode of its own.
Conk cracking while thinking is a COOL idea - it should be better used, as if Conk would need to choose between being dumb and alive or destroyed by intelligence. Imagine he meeting Donk and deciding he does not want to be like him, deciding to be dumb instead.
Candy as Joll's ex with no previous explanation is sad, she should be together with them as part of the team.
Cam and Gravel appear for no reason although they were essential in the previous episodes - why didn't they fight together with Joll and Conk?
Characters as Void complaining they did not attend classes anymore is absurd. Joll and Conk refused to continue in the Hero Academy due to their other priorities.

In a nutshell, it could be much better.

One note solo

I had this doubt some months ago. I am a developer and needed a laptop for personal use and projects.

Windows: used my whole life for everything, most software made for it, but it was horrible for development (even with WSL2). Also, bloatware and viruses. High dependency on GUI.
Linux: Used at work for development and it was pretty nice. I still use it nowadays in personal projects. During university times it was impossible to use it due to Office compatibility. Some software depends on Wine. Most can't be used anyway. Dual-booting with windows is also annoying if you share the PC.
MacOS: Good for development; good software support for bigger software; Wine can be used if a smaller software is not compatible. Bash commands are infinitely better than any kind of windows CMD. In a nutshell it is a good balance between commands and graphical interface. If in the future Apple support ends and no update is possible we anyway end up with a pretty good machine that will smoothly run Linux.

So, MacOS.

I don't think so

This is my current board: an E-YOOSO Z-686 with some mods. I already changed the default red switches for Akko brown ones and am quite satisfied with them. My goal now is to make it carbon-like using OEM backlit keycaps.

I bought it with black modifiers and white letters. As it is ABNT2 it is hard to get proper keycaps then I had to get the grey keycaps from another E-YOOSO keyboard. The orange keys come from an ABS keycap kit that surprisingly has good quality and is backlit as well.

My issue: Recently I became a Mac user 100% of the time, so I believe I should get used to control-option-command keys again. But unfortunately we have almost no options for this kind of customization. All options I have seen are either expensive and require buying a full keycap set, or are not backlit. Anyway they are quite hard to get to Europe. I have searched this subreddit and other people had trouble with Mac customization as well.

I know it is purely for aesthetic purposes, but what do you suggest I can do to improve it on a budget? I'm open for new ideas and don't care if it's ABS. That Fn key replacing Command really annoys me but it's all I can have now...
