My state is a large poultry exporter, and neighbors the one with the outbreak, weird that this isn’t on the news here.

It’s 30 days, but weekends count. Recently the law was amended to disallow scheduling vacations to start on a Friday because of that. It can be taken in full, or 15+15, or 10+20, or 10+10+10.

Pedro II put Brazil well on it’s way to become a global superpower.

The only one that came somewhat close was later Getúlio Vargas, but he was an asshole cruel dictator.

Maybe Lula in his first and second terms might deserve a distant third place.

(Note: I’m not a monarchist)

In Brazil the monarchists get some sympathy because emperor Pedro II was the only competent and halfway decent leader the country ever had.

One technique I’ve heard being used by Bible translators to learn new languages: show some curious/interesting object, you’ll learn the phrase “what is this?”, then start pointing at everything and repeating it.

Why this controversy now? Tools like StyleGAN could do this for years already.

Now if only Macron stopped blocking the EU-Mercosur trade deal…
