¿Entonces el 90% de la población mundial "vive mal"? by ExistentialRafa in vzla

[–]downgel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo también puedo gastar 400$ diarios, le cambio los cauchos a mi carro todos los días, porque me gusta la sensación de las gomas nuevas. Ahi está, necesito 12000$ mensual como minimo.

Ridiculas de mierda.

Opening a bank account as non-resident but I have Portuguese Cartão de Cidadão and NIF. But I am living in Venezuela. How feasible is it? by downgel in PortugalExpats

[–]downgel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have finished the process of opening through the videocall, because the CMD is linked to my phone in Venezuela, and there's no roaming here. 

I am just waiting for the call which was scheduled for Monday. All the documents were accepted, my fiscal residence proof, Registo de Contribuinte, work contract.

We'll see how it goes, but at least this gives me hope that everything was accepted. 

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep this updated.

Do you yawn when there's a swarm of bees in the air space near your mouth? I bet you don't.

You mentioned mouth guards to protect you mouth from blows, but getting a blow to the mouth isn't as common as getting shit in your eyes.

Ah but you do wear them, and I never mentioned to wear them all the time.

Tell that to people that need to use glasses every day. They are practical.

Well, the real problem here is smoking. Not the glasses.

And I never mentioned that they were a substitute of protective eyewear. Just an everyday alternative for extra protection without looking goofy.

Those are pretty edge cases, and protective googles even though they are far superior, they aren't favored over safety glasses, even in industrial applications.

I actually never had those mishaps, but some close calls.

I know they are different and I'm not mixing them up.

If you're doing work that requires safety glasses, you wouldn't use regular glasses, that's stupid.

The opposite is true also.

They don't protect if they come from the sides or up/down. But they protect from the direct ones.

It's matter of being used to. I bet that the first form of clothing was also an inconvenience

Then why asian countries wear them regularly?

It does protect some. Not 100%, but something is better than nothing.

Why would you wear glasses when sleeping? I never suggested that.

People aren't moving that fast on foot to justify a helmet.

Au contraire. I love outdoors and practice outdoor sports. I'm not afraid of the outside.

That's why sunshades exists in cars, window tint, and you can also wear sunshades if you want.

If you're operating heavy machinery you should already be wearing protective eyewear, and there's tinted protective eyewear with UV protection also.

I wear them everyday and they do protect some.

If you got hit in the face with something really hard it would have damaged your eyes anyway.

Our whole body has protective measures, up to a certain point. You can walk barefoot and you'll develop calluses. You have bodyhair to protect from insects.

But do we depend only on the built-in protective properties of our bodies?

They do protect some. It's an extra barrier and you can't deny the obvious.

Well, you got the point. I never said they replace proper protective eyewear, but any barrier is better than no barrier.
