Nice development.
As a side note, as a Portuguese person I think they could have found an easier word for non-portuguese speakers. Not sure if the english speakers around the world will be able to say the nasal "em" correctly or with ease.

In some European countries there's a recent trend to attack people perceived as "the state", such as firefighters and paramedics in certain situations. Afaik, this is usually done by low income, uneducated people that good stone grudge and then lash out. You can indeed be happy that they don't have access to firearms.
Every time that medical staff is assaulted in Portugal, specially when the code word "family" is used, we already know it was done by a Gypsy group or family who couldn't be bothered to wait in queue to be looked at.
The other "low income, uneducated people" never do such things, always the same group.

Only that right after WW2, nuking the Soviets wouldn't have helped. The Red Army had Berlin, had shorter, and well established, supply lines, and the numbers. Nuking Moscow had caused WW3 right after WW2 ended, the Soviets woupd have ended up controlling Germany, and propably other countries. Because a hand full of small nukes wouldn't have been that decisive.
The are reasons Operation Unthinkable wasn't launched. But one has to admit, the anti-communist propaganda that united people from Patton, McCarthy all the way to former Wehrmacht Generals, still has long lasting effects even today.
If History proved something is that Patton and McCarthy were right.

Don’t know if there is much evidence, but I have heard that the switch from the main consumed beverage from alcohol based drinks to caffeine based drinks may have possibly contributed to the Enlightenment.
Europe went from a depressant to a stimulant, suddenly lots of science.
>I have heard that the switch from the main consumed beverage from alcohol based drinks to caffeine based drinks may have possibly contributed to the Enlightenment.
Why didn't the caffeinated beverages stimulate the advancement of science in the countries where those plants are native from?

This one is an official website for a government program, but I think it's for Portuguese companies https://portugaldigital.gov.pt/acelerar-a-transicao-digital-...
Ligma123 commented on Chile to Nationalize Lithium Industry reuters.com/markets/commo... · Posted by u/nipponese
Good to see countries realize that if they just export raw materials and don't do any industrial processing locally, then they are mere colonies of a foreign power.
Even if the bigger part of the profits travels abroad, if the industrial knowledge stays in the country and also has a network effect on other industries and businesses, then it's a win on it's own.
Specially in this case where I doubt Chile even has the know-how and funds to explore the lithium on their own without foreign help.
Obviously there's no patterns to be recognized in there. Nothing whatsoever. Move along citizen.
