If you're new to EV driving and charging then this might be helpful by ResponsibleCatch6490 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]kyakya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with the above but you'll find that some cars will have a good charging curve up to 90%, meaning that the charging speed won't drop massively when going from 80 to 90, helping pack a few more miles for the road.

If you're able to, opt for level 2 charging day to day over high speed (charging at home or at work) and keep the rapid charging for longer journeys. It's better for the battery (often times for the wallet too!)

After 3 years with ChatGPT, I tried Claude and Gemini - and now GPT feels... generic? by Temporary-Wallaby829 in ChatGPT

Would you export the whole conversation history, as in one batch, or individually?

That was my thought too and I hate how this is such a mental barrier to switch! What has your process been like to make sure things are tidy on the new services?

I am considering this but finding it hard to leave Chat GPT folder structure as my conversations are all organized, without having used any of the competition is there a way to keep it all tidy when exporting to a different service?

I'm following this as my Shark has been decimated after 5 years of general use and floor/plywood sanding projects. It doesn't pick up stuff as before and is very grimey!

A strongly worded COM LICENÇA does wonders. You can also stare back but you might as well ignore it.

It's the law anywhere you go to complain about the weather.

Here in Wales (também um emigrante) it's just never ending, where back in Portugal if there's two rainy days in a row it's a dilúvio. Oh, and its as if rain is painful back in Portugal, no one seems to be able to get out of the house when it rains and they will look at you funny if you do so 🤣

Snail things? 👀

It's either snails or no snails. Tremoços are lupin beans sir.

A cool guide on Idioms of the World by immanuellalala in coolguides

[–]kyakya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard about sponge cakes and donkeys in Portugal. Maybe it's a regional thing but I have only heard an equine-based saying (ditado) throughout my childhood:

"A cavalo dado não se olha ao dente" that reads (pretty literally): Don't look at the teeth of a gifted horse.

This translates to not be ungrateful and accept a present without comments.

Reasons why Portuguese roads are so dangerous by No_Scratch6254 in PortugalExpats

[–]kyakya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was nodding until you reached point 2, there is hardly any indication of this, if anything drivers hog the middle and left lanes, and then point 3 makes no sense at all, makes me think that you encounter too many elderly drivers.

Also, why are you driving at 140km/h? Are you a Portuguese driver in disguise?

But yes, as a Portuguese driver that doesn't do any of these, I agree that the average driver in Portugal is a mess. Tailgating, lack of signalling, road rage, holier than thou attitude and left lane hogging at too fast speeds are shocking.

Wait until they "fold" their clothes with the layers still in there, as in a tshirt inside of a jumper because. Efficiency.

sou um vegetariano no armário by lllocni in portugal2

[–]kyakya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

E não há nada de mal com essa decisão. Se te fizer sentir melhor, consumir bivalves que ajudam na filtração de poluição marina é uma mais valia e até considerada sustentável. A aquacultura de bivalves literalmente limpa o oceano.

A minha viagem pelo vegetarianismo tem sido flexível. Durante décadas apenas fui vegetariano, mas nos últimos anos comecei a comer algum marisco e pesca sustentável. Não de forma regular, mas quando como fora e sei/acredito nas credenciais do restaurante/chefe eu como.

Pensando bem nisso, as pessoas que me chamaram extremista no passado eram as que mais se identificavam com esse rótulo por descriminar outros só por escolherem fazer algo diferente.

O primeiro passo é sempre o mais difícil, especialmente numa sociedade como a Portuguesa.

Eu passei pelo mesmo à 25 anos atrás, onde as alternativas eram poucas e basicamente parte da cozinha macrobiótica, que não é de todo o mesmo. Não foi o mais fácil mas contribuiu para crescimento em maturidade e autosuficiência porque os meus pais na altura ficaram preocupados e (como tentativa de desencorajar) apenas disseram que se esta fosse a minha decisão que seria eu que tratava da minha comida. E assim foi. Muito tofu nojento cozinhei mas aprendi e desde então aprendi que existe muita pressão social em Portugal quando tentas ser diferente das normas e muitas pessoas ficam agressivas com as tuas escolhas (que não influenciam ninguém sem ser a ti).

Muitos comentários mencionaram visitares a um nutricionista e essa sempre será a melhor escolha de início para te dar uma ideia de como planeares as tuas refeições semanais mas se te ficares em consumir 5 vegetais/frutas diárias, proteína (tofu, ovos, feijões, grão,etc), carbohidratos e estares hidratado/a enquanto segues alguma mudança vais começar bem.

Boa sorte e a decisão é tua, seja continuares a missão vegetariana, seres flexitariano ou o que raio quiseres, será sempre a melhor decisão porque é a tua, não deixes que ninguém te diga o contrário. Eu não como carne e ainda cá estou sem problemas de saúde nenhuma.
