The Bolsonaro government has as one of its priorities to strategically occupy the Amazon region to prevent the implementation of multilateral conservation projects for the rainforest, specifically the so-called “Triple A” project.
rough sapphire
i think the important distinction here is that the amazon fires are all man-made
sand goblet
"Development projects must be implemented on the Amazon basin to integrate it into the rest of the national territory in order to fight off international pressure for the implementation of the so-called 'Triple A' project. To do this, it is necessary to build the Trombetas River hydroelectric plant, the Óbidos bridge over the Amazon River, and the implementation of the BR-163 highway to the border with Suriname," one of slides read.

why the wood cutting companies

maybe they want to drive up costs? but they don't really have much inventory to do that XD

unless wood cutting companies are also hired to take down semi-burnt trees, for safety or some shit, but.. nah

maybe they really hate their jobs

This year alone, Brazil had 72,000 fire outbreaks, half of which are in the Amazon. The National Institute for Space Research (Inpe) reported that its satellite data showed an 84% increase on the same period in 2018.
rough sapphire
Brazil is going to suffer greatly from the emissions.. millions born with asthma.. low quality of life.. driving up healthcare costs.. pharma companies from US gonna come sweeping in and colonize them
sand goblet
only 60% of the rainforest is even in brazil
gotta wonder who owns the rest, I'm sure they aren't happy
vestal briar
Imagine the money you'd get by becoming a fair pharmasutical company in america
rough sapphire
rainforests generate 75% of their own rain.. brazil's major exports are agriculture based.. like sugarcane and milk..
vestal briar
You'd just swipe the marketshare from all the price fixing ones with cheaper at the same quality
rough sapphire
it's the easiest thing to point a finger at the president..
gentle moss
so you're saying that brazil is importing 25% of its rain?
vestal briar
so you're saying that brazil is importing 25% of its rain?
gentle moss
but they could be exporting 75% of their rain to the rest of the world?
vestal briar
Yeah, the uk imports a ton of rain from the atlantic dude
rough sapphire
I'm saying rain forests contribute to localized rain..
solid pollen
Of course it's how it work :D

that makes it convenient for corporations or NGOs to frame him
like I said, easiest thing to do is assume.. the truth is we don't know..

“Everything indicates” that NGOs were going to the Amazon to “set fire” to the forest, Bolsonaro said in a Facebook Live broadcast on Wednesday morning. When asked if he had evidence to back up his claims, he said he had “no written plan,” adding “that’s not how it’s done.”
The former army captain turned politician said the slashing of NGO funding by his government could be a motive.
“Crime exists,” he said. “These people are missing the money.”

Environmental and climate experts labeled his claims that NGOs were responsible a “smoke screen” to hide his government’s dismantling of protections for the world’s largest tropical rainforest. They said farmers clearing land were responsible for the uptick in fires.
“This is a sick statement, a pitiful statement,” said Marcio Astrini, Greenpeace Brazil’s public policy coordinator. “Increased deforestation and burning are the result of his anti-environmental policy.”
rough sapphire

sand goblet
Bolsonaro, a longtime skeptic of environmental concerns, wants to open the Amazon to more agriculture and mining, and has told other countries worried about rising deforestation under his watch to mind their own business.

that's the point

also calling it "The Ukraine" is also offensive

speaking of which, can someone tell me why it's The Hague, and not just Hague
sand goblet
don't tell me you all need sarcasm marks all of a sudden
rough sapphire
oh, it's Den Haag in nederlands as well
gentle moss
yeah
rough sapphire
it's just Haag in estonian, but then again we don't have prepositions like a or the so that makes sense
gentle moss
someone used to own it or whatever
and it was their land
so it was like "The Dude's Land" or whatever

@rough sapphire I don't know what prepositions are even in my maternal language :D
Oh I maybe know

what's this language?

isn't au in au revoir a preposition?

it all makes sense
vestal briar
rough sapphire
32 is just kolmkümmend kaks
vestal briar
You saw that video then
sand goblet
no, it's four-ty
rough sapphire
we do it from 10, and 30 for example comes from three tens
sand goblet
fifty, five-ty, fif-ty
gentle moss
oh wait, got that wrong
sand goblet
80 is "four twenties"
vestal briar
We have prefixes and suffixes to indicate
sand goblet
so 90 is "four twenties ten"
solid pollen
Yep four twenties
gentle moss
four twenties, four twenties one, four twenties two
solid pollen
Yep too
sand goblet
that's french
vestal briar
So thats why I didn't understand the french number system
rough sapphire
french people must be pretty good at maths then
sand goblet
so 9999 is "four twenties ninteen hundred and four twenties ninteen"
which is hilarious
solid pollen
The mumber system isn't that complicated
vestal briar
So it's [upto 20] * [upto ?] + [optional]
gentle moss
neuf cent
vestal briar
No
rough sapphire
üheksatuhat üheksasada üheksakümmend üheksa in estonian

literally 9000 900 90 9

Just remember that 80 is quatre vingt
sand goblet
which is what we do in english
solid pollen
But everything else is normal
gentle moss
it's not what we do in english
solid pollen
Yeah
sand goblet
nine thousand, nine hundred and nintey nine
solid pollen
@gentle moss adding one at the end
rough sapphire
yeah, we don't fuck with ands

It's the same
sand goblet
well neither do the americans
rough sapphire
just say the number no need to add irrelevant words in there
sand goblet
yeah the americans do skip it
solid pollen
Yeah that's it
sand goblet
so 91 is four twenties ten and one
sand goblet
they have words for 1-15

you'd think people in a top tourist destination would like tourists
solid pollen
It's not because you're a tourist

considering how much money we spend

It's become you're someone
rough sapphire
Maybe they don't like tourists because that
frosty berry
most people don't see the benefit of tourism, only the downsides
rough sapphire
Tourism is really good
frosty berry
even if the boss of your restaurant, loves tourists, the waiter just sees them as more work
sand goblet
yeah but work means money
frosty berry
and the people in the street just see them as a source of trouble
yes, work means money, but more of a work you already have doesn't necessarily means more money
sand goblet
true, I suppose
frosty berry
and tipping is not much of a thing in france
sand goblet
or in europe, really
frosty berry
it's a thing, but don't expect to make a living on that
sand goblet
we do tip if the service is really good
there aren't many places that have great service though
sand goblet
there are restaurants that have tip jars
if they have a tip jar, don't put the tip in the jar
give it to your server
rough sapphire
our bars have tip jars
sand goblet
the problem with a tip jar is that the restaurant takes it and distributes tips however it feels like, or not at all
giving it to the server directly means the person you wanted to get the tip gets it
rough sapphire
the casino my gf worked at in the UK was fucked, even if she was given a tip personally, she had to put it in the tip jar or she'd get fired
which is kinda backwards, it removes all motivation to be a "good" hostess
sand goblet
yeah
rough sapphire
which the casino should want
that's an odd way to phrase things
only_in_genting.jpg
gentle moss
well to be honest
there are reasonings for that in casinos
tip quantity varies vastly
so communal jars and tip division is far more common
rough sapphire
yeah - depending on how good of a job you do
what ended up happening is 30% worked hard to get good tips and the rest just slacked the fuck off
killed any sort of motivation real fast
gentle moss
well they haven't really thought it through by slacking
rough sapphire
they don't care, they won't like sharing anyways
gentle moss
plus everyone hates them for being lazy
rough sapphire
not if them is the majority
yeah, my gf did hate them
and basically she was on the verge of "joining" them

quick one, how the fuck do you stop chromium caching in kiosk mode at all?
gentle moss
i've alraedy got --aggressive-cache-discard --disable-application-cache --incognito --kiosk --disable-application-cache and --disk-cache-dir=/dev/null
it's still caching images.
gentle moss
i'll try setting it to a read only directory and see what that does
i had it working on my previous kiosk image but after upgrading rasbian and chromium those launch flags stopped working
:/
rough sapphire
also I hope that and is not actually in your launch flags?
gentle moss
nah

doed it workeds?

no it doedent
o wait
i think my celery schedule is just out of whack right now
gotta wait for the dashboard with an image on it to roll around again
ask again in 4 minutes
nerp, still caching
great.
wonder if there's a browser better suited for this

idk, haven't tried
always just gone for chromium

no it's not that cache causing it
else the image wouldn't update at all
it's updating the image, but only on first load of the image
it's then caching it

there will be no new deal

to be fair, the UK didn't assume this would happen

there was certainly no consumer benefit in it

keeping a currency is useful in a recession because you can devalue your own currency
it's not useful for stuff like this, particularly

gives you great scope for insider trading
ah yeah, he still hasn't released his tax returns.
it would be the craziest thing if he went through all of this and left the white house just as broke as he went in

The other presidential candidates are at least interesting this time
You have Joe Biden, who can't string a sentence together
Tulsi, who.. Actually looks like a pretty good candidate
gentle moss
wonder how well it works with glasses
sand goblet
I think they probably have all that shit sorted out by now
vestal briar
Well i'm sure this will be used for good and nothing else
sand goblet
No it deliberately ties into the social credit system they have
Good social credit, free item
vestal briar
Yeah
sand goblet
Bad social credit, NO SOUP FOR YOU
rough sapphire
WOW
vestal briar
You took a 10p bag of haribos when you are 7, no more 8th birthday for you!
gentle moss
DOW Jones still falling after the tweets. that's another 100 points.

Anyway here's Joe Biden https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/1164046538047401984
gentle moss
indeed.
billy bob joe boy
oh shoeonhead
good account
yeah, he's too fucking old
gentle moss
he was a fine Vice President but he's basically fucking useless
and also too boomer
way too boomer

"none of you women will remember this"
rough sapphire
Do she have an page with the proposals?
sand goblet
Not sure, haven't looked into it that hard
rough sapphire
i found iy
Big Tech, overreaching government, political correctness — our constitutional rights are under attack. As president I'll protect your rights to free speech, civil liberties and personal privacy because they're essential to our American values and must never be compromised. huh
sand goblet
Sounds good, right
rough sapphire
yes
but, i mean...
Instead we have a government of, by, and for the rich and powerful. This must end.
gentle moss
that's pretty accurate though
this is literally the richest administration to ever sit in office
many of the members in key positions are billionaires
rough sapphire
yes, but for me looks like hate speech
gentle moss
saying that you shouldn't let your country devolve into an oligarchic state of politics?
the USA has some real serious problems with wealth and power
sand goblet
What she's saying is that the government primarily caters to the rich and that this must stop
gentle moss
for example, you can donate to a political party directly as an individual but there's a limit on how much you can donate and you have to make it publically so everyone knows you donated
with the advent of SuperPACs you can donate unlimited amounts of money to a group loosely affiliated with the candidate completely anonymously
money = speech
it was a descision made by the supreme court
rough sapphire
https://www.tulsi2020.com/ Here is the sites if you want read it
gentle moss
eh, i wouldn't call it hate speech
remember that the current president ran a campaign where he called mexicans drug dealers, murderers and rapists as a key part of messaging
rough sapphire
one error don't justify other, right?
gentle moss
yeah but it's not hate speech to highlight that the US has a serious problem with money in politics
sand goblet
It's not hate speech at all, yeah
gentle moss
a government run by rich and powerful people for the benefit of rich and powerful people is what's happening
sand goblet
I'm not sure how it could be read that way
gentle moss
it's pretty much stating the fecking obvious
sand goblet
She's a strong candidate
I don't think she'll win this cycle, but next cycle, when trump is out of the picture
Maybe she will
gentle moss
it's nice the dems are being more vocal and shit
still not sure where those impeachment hearings are going
but apparently over 50% of congress are behind impeachment at this point
sand goblet
Over what, though
gentle moss
well the mueller report states it can't indict a sitting president
but that if he wasn't president
then he did crimes
and they could indict him
gentle moss
i think she wants a government that's not stacked full of self interested billionaires
seems reasonable.
rough sapphire
i mean a government that can make the state to use more money than should
gentle moss
state as in the whole country?
rough sapphire
yes
gentle moss
idk if you've seen the united states national debt
but it's pretty fucking high and doesn't stop growing
gentle moss
no
rough sapphire
i mean things like that
gentle moss
yeah, what's wrong with everyone having health care?
rough sapphire
The cost is high
gentle moss
it actually saves money in the long run, for the state
gentle moss
the USA spends more on health care (government money) than the UK
rough sapphire
For person or absolute numbers?
gentle moss
the citizens spend more on health care (through private insurance) than we do in the UK through taxes for our national health service
both.
it costs people more
rough sapphire
That is a good argument
gentle moss
it costs the state more
the quality of health overall is worse
USA is not
great
at health
at all.
rough sapphire
i know that
gentle moss
yeah, most places that have universal health care have a higher standard of care for all than the USA does
plus people don't go bankrupt because they can't afford medical bills
which makes them homeless and a bigger drain
etc etc
keeping your population healthy should be like... priority number 1
rough sapphire
Do you really think that USA can have the same efficiency that UK have?
gentle moss
no reason why not. UK, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, blah, blah, blah
all these countries have universal health care
the problem in the USA is that anything that seems to be "socialist" is branded as evil and bad
so they view universal health care as like something evil and communist for some fucking reason
rough sapphire
If gorvernment implanted an efficient healtcare system i don't think that people will see that as evil
bu now the shit is already done
gentle moss
well that's if the government stop lying to them
right wing politicians in the US are rabidly against universal health care
because it breaks up the insurance based business that already exists
which the members of congress / senate / government already get large donations from
funnily enough if you're a member of congress / senate your health care is all paid for by the government, so it doesn't even effect them
rough sapphire
nice
information is in internet, they don't lie then
The thing is that people don't want the truth
gentle moss
possibly
when i was in america they just couldn't quite get it, even sat down talking with them for an hour or so
the very idea that right now if i really chose to i could intentionally jump out this 2nd floor window and get all my medical treatment for no up front charge.
seems beyond them
gentle moss
they should probably improve the quality of their food then
rough sapphire
Yes
gentle moss
plus if they do that then maybe they wont have to force their shitty products on the rest of the world

frosty berry
Go get some sleep maybe?
rough sapphire
That might be complicated with 3 cups of coffee coursing through their veins
vapid bluff
frosty berry
Not necessarilly, it just blocks one of the sleep's signal, if it's time to sleep for your body (cyrcadian rythm), or if you are really sleep deprived, you could still sleep
Also, if you often take coffee, you might have a high tolerance to it
gentle moss
once you're on coffee regularly then drinking coffee doesn't act as a stimulant but a method of removing withdrawal symptoms

That looks amazing

Raw fish is an acquired taste

i really love my nigiri though
rough sapphire
@shell blade Nice
gentle moss
biggest sushi bill i ever racked up was like £160
shell blade
Wow, I think alone my biggest was 60CAD
plucky ridge
I've bumped $120 with a buddy of mine
rough sapphire
😄
plucky ridge
Well let me rephrase that
On the sushi alone
I think it totaled out to be higher with drinks and what not
gentle moss
oh no i spent £160 on myself the day after a heavy night drinking
plucky ridge
Where do you get this scratch, man?
rough sapphire
Probably all the banks he robs

this was years ago

Haha

and i didn't care that much because you're an outlier

that's actually racist

Hahaha
gentle moss
gf's sad that her nigiri fell apart so she's in the kitchen compressing rice into blocks
vestal briar
Alrighty then™
rough sapphire
that does not look like good sushi rice
gentle moss
it tasted alright xx
but its consistency left a little to be desired
however for a first try it tasted pretty damn good as a meal
rough sapphire
i never eaten sushi
frosty berry
or sashimi, or maki either?
rough sapphire
no one
frosty berry
good sashimis are awesome
rough sapphire
but i can say pizza is good
frosty berry
i would agree
quasi sequoia
I propose dedicating ot1 channel to food discussions
I read the name as "food coloring"
gentle moss
nigiri is delicious
sashimi is just the fish on its own iirc
i might be wrong
nigiri is fish over rice
good nigiri is amazing for like, 2 main ingredients
fish, rice.
gentle moss
i like how the rice balances it out a bit
rough sapphire
looks cool
rough sapphire
is that fat in the fish omega 3?
gentle moss
little bit of soy sauce
yeah
an essential oil
i didn't realise i needed oiling but apparently yes
quasi sequoia
beware of eating raw fish...
