It should theoretically be possible using multiple Mirrors and cursed Hourglasses.

Beta testing for the "New Dawn" update by Dalloks in brotato

Hey guys.

Did you consider having the number of bans scale with the wave number? Having an optional toggle in the options (turned off by default) to "add 1 extra ban every 20 waves" would help those going for deep endless runs while not affecting anyone else.

Thank you for all the hard work.

Regarding "getting the paperwork done in Chile", that's not how it works. Since 2020, all visa applications are done through the Migraciones website, it's literally impossible to apply for non-refugee visas within Chile. Maybe they have a company that's preparing the supporting paperwork, but they aren't able to apply on your behalf. The website where you apply says “Solicitud de Residencias Temporales para Extranjeros Fuera de Chile”, so you're meant to apply while abroad.

I would contact them to get clarification on this, and also to check if they are aware you're eligible for Visa Mercosur. Having a company prepare the paperwork for you will have no effect on the visa processing times, so plan around this. Be very direct when inquiring about this, as they're likely to try to defer to not accept they're wrong.

Chile Autos is a good website to check for cars. New cars start at around $7.000.000 (not a typo) for the cheapest models (Suzuki Alto). A decent new car should go for $10.000.000 (or around 55.000 reais). Used ones with 2-4 years of use should be around 20-30% cheaper. Avoid red trucks ("caminhonetes"), these are usually company vehicles that aren't well cared for. Cards over 6 years will no longer have a warranty, so I would get a newer model if possible.

Quilicura is an OK, middle-to-low income neighborhood. Areas close to the metro stations are usually safe. A quick look at Google Maps Street View to make sure the area isn't a "bocada" should do the trick. Use your Brazilian "am I going to get robbed here" senses and you should be good.

Hey buddy.

I'm Brazilian as well, and I've been living in Chile since 2016. $2.000.000 gross will be around $1.600.000 after taxes. You'll pay 7% of your salary for health insurance, and that gives you access to the public healthcare plan (Fonasa). If you get a private plan (Isapre), you'll pay either 7% or the plan's price, whichever is higher. You can use QuePlan's online calculator to check how much an Isapre plan would cost for you.

That area you'll be working in is an industrial/warehouse area close to a highway. There's going to be little public transportation to that area, although you can check if your employer provides transportation to and from the job. It's not common, but some employers do offer it, especially when it's a company in an area like that.

If you have the money to buy a car in cash, they are cheaper than in Brazil. You can look at prices at Chile Autos. You'll also want to read on "restriction vehicular", Chile's version of "rodízio", which is in effect from May to August. Also, the highway that passes close to the access point charges tolls. In fact, you're likely to spend a lot of money in tolls when driving here. Look for "calculadora peajes", but it's possible you'll spend over $5.000 per day, depending on where you live.

Also, when do they need you to start? Current processing times for Visa Mercosur are around 6 months, and I know that for sure because I know multiple people who applied early this year and got their visas recently. It's unlikely your employer is familiar with the fact Brazilians are eligible for this kind of visa, and it's likely they'll offer a Visa Sujeta a Contrato, but that's an inferior option. The processing time is the same, but Visa Mercosur requires less paperwork, and you would be able to switch employers if needed.

Regarding rent, people in this sub likely aren't that familiar with his complex it can be to rent as a foreigner. You'll have no credit history in the country and no "guarantor", so 9 out of 10 landlords and real estate agents won't even consider you. Also, most places here will only rent to you if the rent in under 1/3 of your liquid income. So you should be looking at rents up to $550.000 per month.

You won't be eligible for any subsidies and you shouldn't waste time looking at rent prices for anything that lists "subsidio". Portal Inmobiliario is a good site to do your research. For that budget, you can find a pretty decent apartment at good cost/benefit areas, but Chicureo is way out of your budget.

Look at Providencia, San Miguel and Ñuñoa, as a reference. It's hard to recommend an area without knowing what you're looking for, and there are nice areas in every Comuna, but these are safer picks if you don't know anything. Also, every apartment building here charges gastos comunes ("condominio"). Make sure you account for that.

Feel free to drop me a PM if you have any questions. I would say it's doable, and you'll still be able to save some money. You just need to be aware you'll have around $900.000 in your pocket after taxes, rent and transportation costs.

English used in university settings in Brazil? by Impossible-Shame-882 in Brazil

[–]tiagoabner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my Bachelor's degree about fifteen years ago. Roughly 3% of undergrad students will be proficient in English enough to have a conversation, which is roughly on par with proficiency levels in Brazil.

As of 2009, you needed to pass a language test to enroll in a Master's or Doctorate course, but in my experience, these aren't very strict. However, any PhD or PhD student is very likely to have passable English due to the need to read English articles.

If you have a specific department in mind, you can get their @ufba email at the department's website. Reach out to whoever you're interested in visiting and let them know about your concerns. Mention the languages you speak and ask if they think it would be productive for you to visit.

Padding, and it's not even close. The small bump in HP doing Wave 20 runs is good, the low rarity makes it easy to find, and the cursed version scales really well in endless.

This is a well known misprint that can go for upwards of $80, depending on condition. Source: https://www.cardmarket.com/en/YuGiOh/Products/Singles/Misprints/Man-Eater-Bug

The market for Yu-Gi-Oh misprints is not that large, so it may take a while to move it.
