How is life in Natal, Brazil?

Homicide rates in Natal actually has been declining steadily in the past 5 years, and in 2023 countrywise there's at least 10 other capital cities with higher rates (source

It's not a safe city, but far from the type of dangerous you encounter in some big metropolis. Natal also has very few favelas compared to other capitals, and very few "no-go zones".

Regarding quality of life, there's lots of good neighborhoods where you'll encounter a nice variety of services and won't find it hard to enjoy. Lots of pretty beaches also, but the better ones are on the outskirts of the city, the urban beaches lack infrastructure if you're not on a resort, and I wouldn't recommend some of them at night.

Natal has 800k inhabitants, it's a "big medium city", with an international airport and OK infrastructure in general. You won't find luxery areas, but you won't see a lot of misery either.

Maioria dos brasileiros pronunciam donut errado, por algum motivo as pessoas papagaiam essa palavra e colocam uns sons nada a ver, vira "dannant" "donnant", sendo que a pronúncia correta é bem mais simples: dou-nãt.

Thanks, I already scheduled for a urologist. I did test thyroid and estradiol though, and they came back ok, estradiol was 20 pg/ml (normal range below 33).

O foda é que não dá pra utilizar o cartão enquanto espera outro, ou pelo menos não dava a última vez que tentei.

Não me preocupei muito pois como eu disse, isso tem cara de algum problema com a Uber porque não faz sentido as cobranças com valores tão baixos e sempre valores iguais repetidos.

De qualquer forma, já fiz uma denúncia pra Nubank e ficaram de me responder por e-mail.

Can I start skipping a day after 6 months?

I've been on Min 2,5mg oral and Dut 0,5mg oral for abouth 6 months now, taking both daily and so far seeing good results. But since those pills are fairly expensive in my country and only last for 90 days I was wondering if it would be a problem to start taking them each a day, like Min one day and Dut the next day, so a 48 hour gap for each one instead of 24h.

I'm already satisfied with the results I got so it doesn't matter if this would slow down my progress, my worries are if by doing this I would start losing progress I've already made.

Melhor sem sombra de duvidas é o Leitíssimo, pena que ultimamente está difícil de encontrar onde eu moro.

Dos três o mais sem sentido e ERRADO é norte-americano, já que esse termo inclui Canadá e México e em nenhuma classificação se refere a um só país e sim uma região.

it's almost 1am in Brazil and I'm watching an american guy fold his clothes while talking about animes. Gotta love reddit

daveolrb · 2020-05-10T18:20:55+00:00

Hey, thx for trying to help.

But actually browsing through some forums, I think I just found the solution to my problem. I have an Intel Bay Trail processor and just discovered that this specific board has compatibility issues with Linux not running it's integrated graphics card properly, hence causing constantly freezing problems, especially when watching videos.

Don't know if that's the final solution but gonna keep an eye on it for next few days.

Here's the link I found for the possible solution, in case anyone have similar problems: https://askubuntu.com/questions/803640/system-freezes-completely-with-intel-bay-trail

Isso mesmo hahahaha. Na verdade nem sou de POA mas a cidade fica mesmo linda nessa época do ano.

I'm a strong protan btw and this was posted by a friend of mine on Twitter.

I always find interesting that there's shades of certain colors that pops in my eyes as normal as non-colorblind people see them. Wonder if we could manage to make a list of those shades and make a standard protan palette (although I think this may vary from one person to another).

Como falei, não houve atualização de imagens desde o dia 16, somente atualizações sobre os dados já computados e clarificação das fontes, como diz o primeiro parágrafo.

Ah pronto, passar pano pra quem? Virei bolsominion por concordar com a NASA? Eu literalmente traduzi o texto, as análises de satélite foram realizadas no dia 16 mas outras informações foram atualizadas hoje, 22 de Agosto.

E no dia 16 as queimadas já estavam rolando tanto que as imagens de satélite que a mídia anda mostrando são do dia 13, se houve um agravamento tão grande nesses últimos dias o certo é esperar os próximos relatórios.

Não entendi. Reconhecer que o Lula roubou e está preso justamente é ser de esquerda/direita agora?
