Money quote: "The first wave of Chinese immigrants came to California during the Gold Rush in the 1850s, and they’ve faced discrimination almost since they arrived. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, for example, prohibited Chinese immigrants from doing the same jobs as white Americans, since Chinese people were deemed non-citizens; faced with few options, immigrants had to get creative in order to survive.
Some started restaurants, despite the fact that many of them had little to no kitchen training. The earliest wave of Chinese food (meaning old-school dishes like chop suey, egg foo young and lo mein) were actually American inventions based on Toisan and Cantonese recipes, since the majority of immigrants who came during the Gold Rush came from these regions of China."

In rete c'è di tutto, si sa, e quindi ci sono anche gli appassionati di macchine per scrivere. Argomento che neanche io disdegno, a dire il vero. Questo blogger scriveva, pochi anni fa, della sua collezione di Olivetti Lettera come se si trattasse di prodotti appena sfornati. A ben guardare, tra lui che parla degli anni Cinquanta-Sessanta e chi oggi parla dell'ultimo Samsung o iPhone, non vedo poi tutta questa differenza.
Money quote: "Olivetti DL/33
It was first called a deluxe, and later a 33. That's going to become a bit of a habit for Olivetti. The 33 added superficial features to the Lettera mostly making it look more high fashion than student machine. The paper guides were given their own encasement; a platen shield--to keep the dust and wite-out away from your feed rollers--was added. The DL is one of Olivetti's first shots at plastic body typewriters, though it was marketed as vinyl. "

Steve Bannon sul sentiero di guerra
Money quote: "The chaotic, war-torn West Wing of the past six months will be prologue, but the coming struggles will be as personal as they are ideological, waged not with leaks but with slashing Breitbart banners. On Sunday, Breitbart took renewed aim at McMaster, with a headline claiming he advocated “Quran Kissing.” But most of all, there’s a deep animosity between Bannon and Kushner, amplified by a lack of respect. Bannon finds Kushner’s political instincts highly questionable. “He said Jared is a dope,” one Bannon ally recalled. The two clashed fiercely on personnel decisions and policy debates, both domestic and international, many of which Bannon lost."

Il libro di Robert Wright sul buddismo - l parte laica e non trascendente, quella sulla meditazione - sta muovendo i media americani. Non penso solo per via del budget dell'editore per promuoverlo. Magari ci stanno veramente vedendo qualcosa dentro.
Money quote: "My first retreat was back in 2003, and I had never had any success in meditating. I have like a really limited attention span. I'm fidgety. I’m not a picture of emotional stability, I would say, so I was not a natural meditator. It had never really clicked. Somebody suggested I go to a retreat. I went to one week silent meditation retreat, which is very closely associated with mindfulness meditation, although they're not the same thing, and it was amazing. The first two days were hell. I couldn’t focus on my breaths for 10 consecutive breaths, but I eventually had pretty memorable experiences and beyond that, beyond the experiences I had meditating, which included some pretty powerful experiences, there was just an ongoing transformation of my consciousness."

Ora, non dico di mettere da parte le serie che stai già seguendo, ma dopo avere visto il finale di Game of Thrones (quest'ultima serie: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) ti consiglio caldamente di riprendere in considerazione una segnalazione che ho già fatto in passato.
Da quattro anni, ogni anno, Tom Hanks, Goetzman e Herzog producono per CNN una serie di documentari dedicata a una decade. Ci sono stati The Sixties (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️), The Seventies (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️), The Eighties (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) ed è appena uscito The Nineties (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️). Ogni serie ha un episodio dedicato alla televisione, uno alla politica, uno all'attualità, uno alla musica e, ovviamente, altri sono dedicati ad eventi particolari accaduti nel corso di quel decennio.
Il mio consiglio è di partire con il decennio in cui sei stato adolescente: poi non smetterai fino all'ultima puntata.
Se per caso la storia non ti ha mai affascinato, sin dai tempi della scuola, forse è perché non hai mai sentito nessuno raccontare la tua.

According to Mike Gikas, who has covered and tested smartphones for more than a dozen years, “The main reason why phones slow down over time is that operating-system updates often leave older hardware behind.
