OK, there are plenty of bars called "La Rambla" in San José, but there may or may not be a match with this one: 6th Street, 8th Avenue, San José. It being single-floor makes me doubt it's the same place, but the picture was allegedly taken in 1962, so the Germinal center may or may not have been demolished by then. facebook.com/groups/286573528941585/posts/917371925861739/

Interesting article, but it looks like somebody at NBC is busy playing #FireEmblemFortunesWeave at work: Almyra is a fictional region from that game, and the interviewee probably meant Aymara instead.
Quote: Nogales-Ascarrunz said, however, that local communities in Bolivia have been aware of the species’ presence for generations. “This cat, they call it tilcayo. And when you ask, ‘Does it have some meaning in Quechua or Almyra and other Indigenous languages?’ they say, ‘No, my grandpa told me that’s the tilcayo,’” Nogales-Ascarrunz said. “This is a traditional knowledge that they have in the community. We want to preserve that knowledge and we didn’t want to give it another name.”

Es un concepto bonito el de #FediHood, se puede indicar en qué ciudad se está para buscar gente en los alrededores... la bronca es que, en este momento, literalmente soy el único usuario a miles de kilómetros a la redonda.

Los portones frontales del residencial Avalon de Río Oro amanecen cubiertos con unas largas banderas de Costa Rica.


Primero está #Facebook recomendándome seguir a #ChrisChan y ahora esto, qué estaré penando (aparte de tener que seguir teniendo FB por supuesto):
Pantallazo de las recomendaciones de amistad de Facebook listando nada menos que a Jeffrey Epstein


I don't know what did I do, and at this point I'm scared to ask, but Facebook (yeah I know) is recommending me to add THE #ChrisChan to my friends list

Unpopular opinion: the current irregular #hiragana readings for ha/wa, he/e and wo/o should be specified with #furigana like this.
Japanese text that reads "わたしは斉藤さんです" (pronounced "Watashi-wa Saitou-san desu", meaning "I am Mr. Saitou"). There is furigana both on top of the は, to read it as わ, and on top of 斉藤 to read it as さいとう.


El #OIJ: "Esta es una marca exclusivísima, pero no podemos asociarla directamente con un caso de lavado de dinero"

El equipo gráfico:

#CasoLusso

Fotografía de un vehículo todo-terreno de alta gama, de color azul oscuro, incautado por el OIJ. El equipo gráfico intentó pixelear el logo frontal del vehículo pero claramente es un Mercedes-Benz. Pie de foto original: "A un hombre de apellido Alfaro y su familia que vivía entre el lujo, carros exclusivos de alta gama y derroche de dinero les cayó el OIJ la mañana de este lunes 18 de mayo al ser sospechosos de lavado de dinero."


Me topé con un servicio de hospedaje de archivos llamado Terabox, que claramente usó un traductor automático para los textos en español, porque se les chispoteó una hilera que fijo eligieron mal en el dropdown y la tradujeron a #Esperanto

So today's #SaturDog ? Guess it's time to present my dog Coco. #DogsOfMastodon
My dog Coco, an all-white small-to-mid size Maltese or Havana Bichon (not sure which), with floppy ears and dark eyes. In this pic he was wearing his collar and smiling to the camera.


When I say I've been boycotting #BigMedia (partly due to lack of time, partly due to lack of money, and nowadays due to moral concerns with the industry), I have the means to prove it:
Mail screenshot from Trakt.tv: "Hey Carlos, you watched 0 hours of shows & movies in 2025! IN REVIEW: Carlos, your 2025 Year in Review has arrived! EXPLORE, SHARE, CELEBRATE. You watched 0 shows and 0 movies in 2025! 0 Plays - 0 Hours"


Estas galletas que le regalaron a mi mamá, no sé si comérmelas, o mejor colocarlas en modo de defensa boca abajo y terminar mi turno.
Galletas del Corte Inglés con capa de chocolate negro. La forma y color de la galleta la hace sospechosamente similar al dorso de una tarjeta de Yugi-oh.


Hoy, en "no puedo creer que esto esté a la venta":
Cuatro paquetes de difusores de caña con aromas de manzana, mango, rosa y... veneno, tal cual


Los aficionados al #DoblajeLatino probablemente intentaron esto en su momento:

The upcoming #ROGXboxAlly , in its base form, is not only worse specced than the already existing baseline ROG Ally from 2023, if the leaks are right then it's even more expensive. No sense in purchasing it and wasting $240.
Specs comparison between the first ROG Ally and the upcoming ROG Xbox Ally. Table follows: Specifications	Asus ROG Ally, 1st.

I'm worried about the specs for the base #ROG #XboxAlly, powered by the upcoming Ryzen Z2 A, being mostly worse than even the base #ROGAlly, powered by the Ryzen Z1. Unless it's significantly cheaper and less power hungry, it makes no sense to release it.
Comparison table via VideoCardz.com. In particular, notice that the specs for the Ryzen Z2 A are mostly worse across the board than even the base Ryzen Z1. Table contents follow.
