@PaiCheco01 Digo na foto. Não acha que ficavam ali bem alguns arranha-céus? Aqueles prédios baixos são muito retrógrados.

Lincoln Cathedral was built nearly 1,000 years ago, without modern machinery, engineering degrees, or materials. Today with every advantage imaginable, we rarely create anything that comes close. This isn’t a question of capability. It’s a question of standards. Why can’t we build like this anymore?

@pedfel Podes mostrar se têm imigrantes as carradas?

@pedfel Incrível como deixámos de ver a imprensa portuguesa a noticiar este tipo de homicídios na África do sul. A maioria dos portugueses em Portugal deve mesmo pensar que nos últimos 15 anos os portugueses deixaram de sofrer homicídios bárbaros de sul africanos negros.

@DrUninstall As partes bonitas não têm arranha-céus, que são construções que violentam a psique.

Ask anyone born before 1975 what McDonald's french fries used to taste like.
Watch the look on their face. The specific glaze in the eye. The slight smile they don't know they're making. They will tell you, with a conviction that brooks no argument, that the fries of their childhood were the best they ever tasted.
They are not exaggerating.
From 1940 until 1990, McDonald's cooked its french fries in beef tallow. Not partially. Entirely. The same beef tallow rendered from the same animal that produced the hamburger. A saturated animal fat, stable at fryer temperature, with a rich flavour and a clean fry.
A potato fried in beef tallow develops a crust that tastes of potato and of the Maillard reaction between the sugars in the potato and the fat of the cow. It is a considerably more complex product than a potato fried in any vegetable oil. The chemistry supports the memory.
Then, in 1990, a Nebraska millionaire named Phil Sokolof took out full-page newspaper ads denouncing McDonald's for using "heart-attack inducing" saturated fat in its fries. McDonald's caved within the year. The tallow was replaced with a blend of vegetable oils.
The science behind Sokolof's campaign was, we now know, largely wrong. The studies that underpinned the saturated-fat panic, particularly the work of Ancel Keys, have been re-analysed and found to have been cherry-picked, methodologically flawed, and in some cases deliberately manipulated.
The polyunsaturated vegetable oils that replaced the tallow produce a cascade of oxidised fatty acids when heated to fryer temperatures for twelve hours a day. These oxidised fats are increasingly implicated in the very cardiovascular inflammation the switch was supposed to prevent.
The fry changed overnight in 1990.
Former employees describe the day of the switch with a specific bitterness. The fries did not brown the same. They did not crisp the same. They did not taste of anything except salt and potato.
McDonald's has tried for thirty-six years to fix the complaint that its fries don't taste the way they used to. It has adjusted the oil blend. It has changed the cut of potato. It has added a chemical flavouring listed as "natural beef flavour," a plant-derived compound designed to resemble the taste of beef tallow without containing any.
The fry still does not taste the way it used to.
It does not taste that way because it is not fried in the thing that made it taste that way.
Thirty-six years of children have grown up on a french fry designed to compensate for the absence of the ingredient that made the original one good.
The tallow is still in the cow.
The fryer is still hot.
Someone in a boardroom in 1990 made that decision.
Nobody has been asked to justify it since.

@GoncaloAguiar Disse que não queria favelas.
Mas aceito a crítica; mesmo sem imigração, não quero arranha-céus nas cidades portuguesas, pelo menos nas existentes. Estive em Canary Wharf e feriu-me a alma. Não quero aquilo para Portugal.

É mesmo isto que os liberais querem. Admitido por eles. Já não precisamos de fazer caricaturas.
