Alguém por acaso me sabe explicar a razão porque em Portugal nos últimos dez a 15 anos os prédios novos de apartamentos em urbanizações de luxo têm quase todos varandas com parapeitos de vidro?
Será pelo facto do vidro ser mais barato?
Não existe o perigo daquilo começar a rebentar/partir por tudo quanto é lado quando faz muito calor ou muito vento?
Até que ponto é que uma varanda com um parapeito de vidro é segura tanto para as pessoas nas suas casas como para as pessoas que vão a andar na rua?
Porquê o vidro e não o cimento?
Pessoalmente, não me parece fazer qualquer sentido - mais parecendo uma abominação urbanística do que outra coisa. A única explicação plausível é se o vidro é capaz de reter alguma energia solar...

Cyanotype - Ethel Stevens & Ruth Patterson of Grays Ferry (American 1900s-1910s)
This is one of a series of cyanotype photos taken by a female photographer in the first quarter of the 20th century in and around Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the seller did not have the photographer's name.

Israel bombed & murdered the #PrimeMinister of Yemen along with several cabinet members, & there is zero outrage in Western #media… it’s barely even a story. The level of impunity is breathtaking.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, 2025 letterboxd.com/bexgreeter/film…
¿Puede dios crear un pinchito tan picante que no se pueda comer? ¿Puede Ethan Hunt encontrar una misión que no pueda resolver?
La imagen es una portada de película en tonos monocromáticos, con un enfoque en el cuello y el pecho de una persona. El fondo es oscuro, lo que resalta la textura de la piel y el cabello. En la parte inferior de la imagen, se encuentra el título de la película "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" en letras rojas grandes y "THE FINAL RECKONING" en letras blancas más pequeñas. La estética general es dramática y tensa, sugiriendo un tono de acción y suspense.

I was eager to try the new batch of tempeh (desi chickpea and organic sprouted rye), and so I made a stew with what I had on hand, and it turned out well. Post includes a compare-and-contrast between mirin and what is sold as mirin.

The image features a gradient background transitioning from purple at the top to pink at the bottom. The text is predominantly white, with some words in a cursive script. The main message reads: "IT'S OK TO BE WRONG ABOUT THINGS. You can have a change of opinion or beliefs after hearing more information and facts. That's not a personal failure. It's personal growth." The text is arranged in a vertical layout, with the largest text at the top and bottom, and smaller text in the middle. The message is clear and motivational, encouraging the idea that changing one's mind is a sign of personal growth rather than failure.

How I became an antisemite

What Every Argument About Sideloading Gets Wrong
Refuting the common and flawed argument ofhugotunius.se
Once you get out of the SLC cache these don't get anything like 8GB/s. I'd expect somewhere between 0.5GB-2GB/s then but haven't tested that particular model. And you'd need a huge heatsink on the drive to stop it going into thermal derate or shutdown first.
Even at 8GB/s a "I installed this Windows Update and then SSD dead" would be a strange report unless the user let it spin for 20 hours 😛
