One of the world's biggest olive producers is Tunisia, where you have actual desert. Anything that can capture a little of the humidity, like valleys in between hills, they plant olive trees. If it has a little more water it's dates.

Among all of them at least python is the choice generically people learn when they don't want to learn programming, just want to program stuff as a helper tool to manage data. For those, python is just fine and the learning material around is tailored to for that.

That's how you trick people into programming. You then see people making scripts that take days to run, but it's fine, they're only going to use it twice and are busy enough to be able to wait

Yeah, but later that higher gdp total can be used to better serve the people.

Hahaha, or it just gets pocketed.

For European Portuguese it's the top choice. Or replace the first two words with "tu ligaste" for informal. You can always just answer with "Funerária pizaria Abel Frade, onde a perda da manhã é o almoço à tarde, como posso ajudar?" and that'll get the desired response.

I'm like you. But didn't find it cool. I inherited some, so my count is two.

Don't you have masks you use to meet people? Slowly warm in and try to find out what they're like?

Before remote work, that was one of the adult avenues of meeting new groups of people. Friends of friends are cool when you get involved in stuff they do and you don't.

Sometimes rekindling relations also gets you to meet the people they hang around nowadays...

But you can see obese people being obese and they are small so that makes them an easier target of scapegoating than the big company that wastes food out of sight.

Plus they making excess food compared to what they can sell locally doesn't mean it's suddenly magically cheap to get that food to the places it's needed.

Sure, China can finance it's global distribution if cheap good, but that'd be communism and we don't want to resort to that to help people. Better just leave that to private charity. So they can individually be less effective even considering the best intentions (it's never the best intentions).

3 months... Are you including weekends?

Yeah, that'll be a shock.

Falafel differs from place to place. The most generic are likely levantine or maghrebi... But I bet there's more.

It's like pizza, I know plenty of pizza styles and they differ from Italian
