       @johnmacintosh oooh!I never saw a ZX81 in action. My brother did...But I owned a ZX-Spectrum, and I know having a mechanical keyboard for it -- plus, one without issues in the paper ribbon that connected the keyboard with the machine -- would be nice.That was the main difference between Speccy and Speccy plus, indeed.

       @aljazeera If David Cameron did not exist, someone should invent it. He's what every foreigner thinks a british is: educated in the best schools, a fine conoisseur, the perfect gentleman, but, after all, the kind of guy you'd expect to see drinking beer in a pub or bungee-jumping from a hotel window in the Spanish coast.David, I'm your fan!

       «El trabajo forzado era el pilar de un sistema económico que trascendía las fronteras de raza y color. Las plantaciones surgían como pústulas en las tierras del Caribe, y después del exterminio de los indígenas, cuando el suministro de basura blanca resultó insuficiente para satisfacer la demanda, los negreros avanzaron hasta el corazón del África en busca de hombres y mujeres, no porque fuesen negros sino porque eran baratos, abundantes y buenos trabajadores.»(Wade Davis)1/3

       (...)» A las élites europeas, capaces de enviar a la horca a un niño inglés por un robo de menor cuantía o de encerrar a hombres —blancos o negros— como sardinas en las bodegas malolientes de los barcos, no les importaba la raza del trabajador, sino su productividad.la esclavitud no fue producto del racismo, más bien, el racismo fue un producto derivado de la esclavitud.»Wade Davis: La Serpiente y el Arco íris, s. loc., Reediciones Anómalas, 2023, páginas 239-240.2/3

       @rms The problem was people was not aware of this side effect. The professor who died on my country after taking the vaccine would've probably saved if doctors and patients had better information.Not to mention the menstrual problems experienced by women (ironically, in a vaccine researched by women). Info could have leveraged the issue.Maybe this helps researchers give better info for future vaccines.

       @rms The solution could be a change in national and international laws to stablish liabilities not only to governments and soldiers who kill civilians but also to the companies that replace these "liable" soldiers with autonomous, "unliable" weapons.

       @rms It is very interesting. The relationship with sports could make us relate it also with other jobs where the head is exposed to concussions, shock waves or vibrations. I'm thinking about people working with jackhammers, demolition workers, miners, firefighters and policemen.

       @rms1) Guyana is not a latin-american country. It is an anglo-american country located in South America ("latin" can be applied to countries where Spanish, Portuguese or French are spoken, but not to countries where germanic languages are spoken, like the USA, Suriname, Guyana or Bahamas).2) Venezuela shows how a rich petrol-republic with great income differences between elite and people can suddenly become a poor, failed country. This is a risk that should be weighted.
