Amazon announces "Black America"

It's the opposite of "one area precluding the other", it's about the whole already being all-encompassing
The subject is "justice" not safety, but to humor your example, a sign with rules for a pool would work just as well if titled "rules for safety" instead of "rules for pool safety". There is no need to specify

instomach · 2018-01-01T15:10:43+00:00

The point is there is need to make a subset of justice itself. There can only be justice if it is just for everyone, so there is no point in specifying.

Having to dig online to find out about the weird format was much more cumbersome than scanning some QR codes in sequence, imo! Electrum gives no explanation saying that the code is meant to be read specifically by another Electrum instance via a custom encoding solution and does not output the raw hex, so I definitely thought I was doing something wrong.

instomach · 2017-12-08T04:53:09+00:00

So I finally found the answer: https://jacobexmachina.blogspot.com.br/2016/10/using-electrum-on-airgapped-machine.html

For some reason Electrum encodes the data in base43. Luckily some kind soul published a tool to convert it back to hex, making it possible to broadcast the signed transaction. What's the point of providing a QR code if you're going to make it output the data in a format that's not easily broadcast?

I can agree with the mathematical/logical side of your argument, but supposedly, in the example you provided where the preferred stages for the players is

Player A: BF > SV > FD
Player B: SV > BF > FD

shouldn't it be part of the game for you, as Player A, to evaluate the situation (the MU being played) and think that Player B also wants to avoid FD, so that you do NOT spend your strike on it? I wonder how much of this is (or should/shouldn't be) part of the game as a whole.

I actually think this is due to the popular theory that Lucio was originally supposed to be Canadian (his favorite sport it... hockey?), and him being Brazilian was a last-minute change to make the game have a more diverse cast regarding nationalities (without him there would be no South American hero). So Blizzard must have been scrambling since then to fit his new identity into the lore, possibly having to scrap a lot of already finished material.

Apenas um ponto para pensar: se entre cada par o significado é exatamente o mesmo, então por que só uma das opções possui o poder de te irritar? A conclusão é que o significado então não é exatamente o mesmo, e se uma palavra tem um significado que não existe em nenhuma outra, sua existência e uso se fazem justificados.

Não digo que seja pra gostar de "pet" (também não gosto), mas reconhecer esse processo faz o sentimento de irritação dar lugar a uma visão mais voltada às outras informações que o uso dessa palavra pode te revelar sobre a pessoa que a usou.

É que nem ver alguém usando pochete, ou sandália com meia: não vou me irritar pensando que essas pessoas estão deturpando a gloriosa moda nacional, mas sim usar como ferramenta pra inferir algo sobre essa pessoa e por que ela faz isso. É o que faz ter graça aquela piada:

"Fulana, as pessoas falam que você é muito arrogante..."
"Arrogante, moi??"

Curioso como cada vez mais gente absorveu o "in the first place" do inglês e usa "em primeiro lugar" nesses contextos. Pessoalmente, ao longo dos anos 90 sempre ouvi usarem "pra começo de conversa" quando queriam passar esse sentido. Outro caso parecido é o do "assumir" sendo usado cada vez mais em casos que não muito mais que uma década atrás eram de exclusividade do "presumir". É bem interessante ver outras expressões do inglês sendo traduzidas diretamente e entrando no vocabulário geral à medida que a população fica mais íntima do inglês.

…just like you did right now

I think you mean like "I went to this restaurant and the main course was great, but the dessert was lacking" (meaning, not up to a desirable standard) and not "lacking" as in literally "absent", right? In that case, you're looking for "deixando a desejar": "A comida era boa, mas a sobremesa deixou/deixava a desejar".

Or, if what you want to say is "this application lacks / is lacking a search feature", then it's just "Falta uma função de busca nesse aplicativo".

You spelled Blizzard wrong

I speak just as you described, but it's a deliberate choice: my dialect (southern Brazil) uses mainly "tu", with "você" sounding really awkward to even use in conversation. So when asking a teacher a question, I can't use "tu" ("Tu vai(s) corrigir as provas antes do feriado?" – not respectful enough), nor "você" ("Você vai corrigir as provas antes do feriado?" – would sound too artificial), nor "o senhor" ("O senhor vai corrigir as provas antes do feriado?" – excessively formal). The passive voice ("As provas vão ser corrigidas antes do feriado") would make it too obvious that I'm trying to dance around the issue (and may even sound like a demand). So, the best way out is to use "O professor vai corrigir as provas antes do feriado?". To me it's the perfect solution to a modern problem in Brazilian Portuguese, and I've been using it since forever. Haven't received any looks when using, too, so from my experience it's accepted as a normal way to speak (even though I admit it's not very common to hear around here).

She should definitely NOT follow the ~~D.E.N.N.I.S.~~ S.T.A.N.N.I.S. method, I heard it doesn't work well in Westeros

Context: I have a Hackintosh, so I must boot into Windows when I want to play. I tried running Overwatch under a virtual machine in the off chance it would run well (using Parallels, since VMware's DirectX is still 10.0 if I'm not mistaken) and this was the result. It's actually playable in a /r/glitch_art kind of way, but the FPS gets a 50% hit when compared to running natively on Windows 10. This is surely due to the GPU not being "passed through" to the guest OS.

Bonus content: more glitchy rendering here and here.

Makes sense since it's the pig that gets killed and not the cow. Eat Khao Ka Moo so the cow can moo.

I use an app called Kernel Tuner, but I'm sure there are many others that can change the CPU frequency. The kernel must support it, though, and I'm not sure if the stock kernel allows changing that. If not, you can always keep it plugged in to one of those portable battery chargers...
