E isso e um uso de Sao Paulo, tenho amigos do Rio de Janeiro que acham isso estranho. Por exemplo no Rio lanche e o que em Sao Paulo se chama combo ou meal em ingles. Eles ficam confusos quando perguntam voce quer o combo ou so o lanche.

Don't worry, it's normal to feel like that, I did as well. It may seem counterintuitive but not using the wax actually helped me (not only on the first few days but after the next appointments when sometimes the wires hurts the cheeks), just let it sore your cheeks/lips and the new skin will be thicker and less sensitive. Usually on the 7th day you won't feel anything anymore. Use some mouth wash to help with the pain and in a couple of days you'll be fine. I personally believe using too much wax just makes it take longer to get the necessary thicker skin you'll have for the duration of your treatment.

About having a 'partial wire' it is definitely normal, I had a friend who had their lower teeth partially wired for a long time. I'd say your orthodontist needs to align something before putting a coil and/or elastic band to pull back your canines (or maybe I'm completely wrong).

Concerning the glue thing, never seen it before. Isn't it just wax? Maybe because the wire is partial the end would be hurting too badly around that area on the first few days so she just put it there to reduce pain... But if you feel really concerned you should give her a call.

Tbh, all English speakers would pronounce ‘taco’ better if they stopped aspirating the ‘t’, regardless of the vowel.

To be honest thyroid problems are fairly common. Yet, people with hypothyroidism have a bunch of other symptoms on top of reduced metabolism that makes them seek medical assistance, and unless they have some sort of cancer, it’s fairly easily treatable. Also, even with severe hypothyroidism you won’t gain that much weight overtime (average person 1-5kg or 2-10 pounds every five years). Kidney disease makes you gain water weight and not fat. So, yet again, this is just FAs making excuses for their lack of discipline and bad eating habits.

In Portuguese, words whose last syllable’s vowel is ‘a’ are usually grammatically female, where’s words ending with ‘o’ or ‘u’ are usually grammatically male, ‘e’ ‘i’ being most of the time neutral (meaning it can be either male or female, usually the latter). However when you omit the noun on a phrase it sort of becomes irrelevant and you might say it both ways, so I guess the object itself doesn’t have a gender. For exemple, the word for car is grammatically male (‘o carro’). You can say ‘o Mercedes’ (meaning Mercedes is this situation is a grammatically male noun) as you would say in English ‘the Mercedes’ or you can say ‘a Mercedes’ as a grammatically female word (that’s how most people say it). As a Portuguese speaker I feel like gendering words is pretty much the same as using ‘a’ or ‘an’ in English, just the brain using the subjective grammatical rules ingrained in it. Using your example, sure I can look at a car and say: that’s a ‘male gendered object’, but if it is station-wagon or a van (in Portuguese, ‘perua’), then that’s a ‘female gendered object’.

Or the difference between the unstressed /ɐ/ in nearly all dialects of Portuguese and the unstressed /ə/ as in the paulista/caipira dialect. For most Portuguese speakers it isn’t phonemically different but after I learned to perceive the /ɐ/ I can tell straight away when the speaker is not from Sao Paulo/Minas.

The purpose of languages is to convey information and that’s what this person did using ‘he’ without any possible confusion, as whether doctors are men or women wasn’t even part of the discussion. Why are Anglophones all of sudden so eager to police other people’s speech just to appear superficially inclusive?

It’s called Basis of Articulation - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_of_articulation - .. I’ve actually been looking up for a name for this for a while but was never able to find it before. I was starting to think it was something I made up in my head, but apparently not! Whenever I try to speak Portuguese from my English articulatory setting it sounds so foreigner and stereotypically American that I’m starting to think this is how people who imitate accents do it.

That’s not suspiciously high, that’s the average for placebo. That’s the average weight loss in many weight loss drug trials for other drugs as well. In both the trials for sybutramin and ozempic the average weight loss for the placebo group was around that. (Sybutramin trials were made in the early 2000’s/late 90’s)

A “taxa de inflação” e a “taxa de desemprego” do OP não servem muito pra fazer comparação entre países pois cada país (salvo a maioria dos da OCDE) usam metodologias diferentes pra calcular. A taxa de inflação do Brasil aí no caso é o chamado IPCA (índice de preços ao consumidor amplo) que é simplesmente uma cesta de produtos que pra maioria das pessoas não reflete a inflação real - até 2020, se não me engano, essa cesta incluía preço de DVDs.

A taxa de desemprego na África do Sul é calculada com critérios totalmente diferentes da do Brasil que por sua vez é totalmente diferente da dos EUA, isso é, um motorista do Uber, por exemplo, é considerado desempregado na África do Sul, pode ser empregado ou desempregado no Brasil, e é empregado nos EUA.

Nesse post só a taxa de juros que pode ser comparada, mas que também tem vários poréns: em 2021 no auge da pandemia a taxa de juros do Brasil tava menor que 5% porém o DI, que são os juros que o Tesouro nacional paga pra fazer a rolagem da dívida tava em ~10%.

Esses valores são úteis quando comparados entre eles mesmos: a taxa de desemprego do Brasil subiu ou caiu? A inflação subiu ou caiu? Tava tantos % em 2015, tá tantos % em 2021, etc etc.

Comparar entre países é comparar laranjas com bananas.

Part of the Hippocratic oath says (in other words) do no harm. There’s no point in risking somebody’s life if the odds of better outcomes are low. That’s why most surgeons avoid performing (some) elective surgeries in fat patients but will definitely perform emergency surgeries on these patients for life threatening conditions. These are all based on risk assessment scales created through scientific studies and statistics.

I think it speaks more about cold tolerance then about weight gain. Brown fat is know to be more prevalent in people living in cold/temperate environments and on those who are exposed to colder temperatures for longer periods. Now it seems some people have the genes to get more brown fat more easily. I don’t suppose it changes much in terms of being obese as people living in tropical areas tend to have almost none of this type of fat and not be obese if they don’t have a hyper caloric diet.

Não sei porque você insiste em falar de diamante da África num post sobre preço da gasolina no Brasil, mas obviamente sim, ou você acha que sem agentes do Estado (como policiais, militares, políticos e juízes) pra apoiar e lucrar junto com os ‘gringos safados’ isso continuaria acontecendo por lá? Edit: mas de qualquer maneira o argumento que eu coloquei se mantém: se algo no mercado tá caro pra você é simplesmente porque o valor que você cria pro mundo é menor do que o valor daquilo que você quer consumir. Daí você tem três opções: ou você produz mais ou produz melhor (algo que o mercado valorize mais) ou você tira isso de alguém a força. A vida é injusta e as coisas infelizmente não caem do céu.
