What about letting you down?
Quebec was a French colony, they lost a big war, they hate the monarchy and dream of independence from Britain and the English part of Canada.
They try everything so people keep speaking in French. They force kids to go to French schools and reduced the places in English schools. They’ve had teachers and monitors forcing kids to speak in French even during recess. Of course it doesn’t work and kids will speak in whatever language they want, mainly English.
I have a little bit of experience in this. Brazilian living in Quebec. So, my friends almost always spoke in Portuguese with their children, school and TV were in French. After some time, school starts also to teach English and they chose the language of the TV. Now the kids are almost always speaking in English, although the are fluent in Portuguese and, of course, French.
Now, my wife and I hated the TV in French, so we kept it in English. So, my kids had to deal with three languages from the start. They mixed everything up and we screwed up by saying words in all three languages. We speak mainly Portuguese but we would use words that they learned in other languages in those languages instead of in Portuguese. In the end, my kids mix all three languages in a single sentence, which is weird as hell. They’re slowly separating the languages and we too. Now, every sentence we speak is in a single language. Their friends help in a way, because they also speak French in class but English outside (and Quebec’s government hates that).
So, if both of you are Portuguese speakers, I’d only speak Portuguese with them and let the TV and school teach English. They’ll know how to keep things separated.

At work, Windows XP,7 and 10, and several versions and flavors of RHEL.
But it’s still wrong, though, as the 9th is about 70 minutes.
There’s even a myth saying that the 9th was the determinant for the length of the original CD.
But this GTA already has, no?
Unpopular opinion: I wouldn’t mind some ads in games like GTA, Need for Speed or Watchdogs. You’re driving and there’s a real ad in a billboard or in the radio station you’re listening.
There’s a camping site that we go every year. When we got to our spot there was a bunch of firewood near the fire pit. We used and bought more. When we left, instead of burning the leftover wood, we left there for the next campers. We saw several other spots doing the same.
I just received the update and the graphics are much better in the XBox. Everything is much more smooth.

I miss upsidedowndogs.
I’m always amazed by how the store near (Canada) me is always full. I don’t know I people are there to buy merch or what, but they’re never empty.
Why screw drivers and drills? Silver tape is more than enough.
What’s up, smooth skin.
Because one must drive the bus.
She’s showing the baby being born. People who say that’s beautiful never actually saw it.
Hey! Friday I went to a place in Montreal that has a working Dr Who table. Montreal Pinball Arcade
It’s actually a store that sells and rents the tables. Some days they open up to everyone, you pay a few bucks for unlimited play.
That too, but the police can’t exactly help simply because you’ll never find these people again.
Time to put the last one in a vault and start cloning.
