I agree. However, I believe that the inconvenience of last Monday was the absence of candles in my home. We got rid of candles because we trusted the ...
As I previously shared in the 'currently reading' thread, I am reading Mircea C?rt?rescu. He is from Romania, and he was born and raised in 1960s Buch...
The blackout affected all the Península, and we still can't know why. The power went out at 12:30 PM and came back on at 22:30. It took a lot to reset...
And we had a blackout for 10 hours during the whole day. Folks don’t discard that we received a cyberattack on our power network. Spain and Portugal h...
Mates, I will continue with my summary of Mishima's 'Sun and Steel' in the current 'reading group' thread later on (afternoon; around 19:00 or so). I ...
Blinding, Book Two: The Body by Mircea C?rt?rescu. The narrative and imagination of Mircea are just amazing. I am addicted to his trilogy called 'Orbi...
Chapter I: Pages 3-6. Sun and Steel was written in 1968. Two years before Mishima took his life. We can perceive from the first line of this essay tha...
Interesting painting! You put this prompt or pattern: "Famous philosophers gathered around a birthday cake with 'Happy Birthday, Javi!' written on it....
The only free thing I will get today is a hat (like Cat in the Hat's hat) that says: feliz cumpleaños. No, we do not have anything free for birthdays....
Yummy! :yum: Cookies are difficult to bake up, indeed. I'd want to have ginger cookies, similar to those sold in grocery stores, because they're healt...
Muchas gracias Bitter Crank. Chocolate cake is the best option, IMO. Wedding cake is not suitable here because we are at a birthday, and I hardly see ...
Thank you, Tom! This is not the first time you've wished me a happy birthday. Wow, have we been friends here that long? Jesus, time flies by. It is qu...
Join Señor Wences for a show? Wow! I had those as toys when I was a kid. I never imagined that they would have posed a risk to my well-being. I blame ...
Tomorrow is my birthday, and folks decided to cook Presa Ibérica for me. Sorry @"Shawn", I know you are a pig lover, but you are invited to the birthd...
I want Francis back too. What a big loss! I thought the same: that the next Pope could be from Africa. But, as @"tim wood" noted, they are too conserv...
Final version: https://i.postimg.cc/3r65sjhw/Flag-Creator.png - We cropped the land of Antarctica and put it on the upper left of the corner. I think ...
Hey, praxis! Thanks for your feedback. We are still working on it. Drawing a flag is more difficult than I ever thought. Nonetheless, Martín found the...
(Martín Orensanz) @"Arcane Sandwich" and I (Javier Miranda Jiménez) are creating a fictional Antarctica. It has its own constitution, government, peop...
I only read literature, but thanks for the input anyway. I believe there are some folks here who actually read it, but they are busy with other stuff,...
Rest in Peace Mario Vargas Llosa. Muere Vargas Llosa. Our last Nobel Prize winner in Spanish-language literature. He was Peruvian, but he also got the...
We could have different issues, but the problems are the same: speculation and exclusion of first-home buyers. Investors also have tax income benefits...
This is very helpful for those (like me) who are not Australian but are interested in the next elections. Well, the world is large, and it is interest...
The less that you hear about the politics in my country, the better. Our chaotic way of managing a state might make you feel dizzy. We still have a 'r...
I also like that parliamentary style, where the debates and legislation are serious. Not a show in which the showman shouts bollocks while his politic...
@"Banno" and also I just found on Google this interesting analysis (Australian voters may not be deeply polarised) that is relevant to what we discuss...
Interesting, Tom. It is true that it also makes sense if we see it in the other way. I knew you were a Labour voter when I started sharing ideas and v...
Do you think Aussies lost political attitudes? Or did you simply become more neutral than ever? I don't know... Given the current state of politics, I...
*Hits cameraman with a ball* Oh haha got him; got him. What a shot. *Cameraman starts bleeding* Shooks hands with cameraman and offer him a pint of be...
After five years of one of the worst pandemics we humans faced, I still meet people who suffer from 'long COVID' or 'long-haul' COVID. Long COVID come...
I understand your position, but I think you should also understand why people are pessimistic. I think there are good examples of that. There were cat...
So, you are not a denier of climate change. You actually believe it exists and attribute the consequences to human actions (i.e., the increase in CO2 ...
Hold up! If you want to discuss the advantages or disadvantages of climate change, this could mean that you are accepting that climate change is an is...
I share it anyway: @"T Clark" If you are using a mobile or similar device, switch the screen to "desktop" or whatever it is called in English. https:/...
Absolutely. I have never thought that dyslexia and ADHD were disorders until they were labelled as such by assessment educational tests. Dyslexia neve...
It is a learning disorder. I am dyslexic, and one of the risk factors is having ADHD. I have been diagnosed with either ADHD because of my dyslexia or...
I loved reading Borges too. Apart from his inclination to infinite worlds and labyrinths, I burst into tears after reading the description of the Alep...
The only option to resolve this is to close the thread forever. At least we weren't compelled to read it unless you searched for the thread because th...
