I have two undergraduate students who cost me only $40/month, and they handle all the programming for my research 24/7 (although they may need some rest after 5h of work). Their names are Code and Codex.

Funny news from 🇧🇷:
The Havaianas flip-flop brand released a commercial suggesting not starting the year on the right foot, but on both feet. The far-right is boycotting the brand.
They are also suing a band over a 40-year-old song that insults Santa Claus, for "religious offense".

The Brazilian parliament is about to destroy everything our judicial system has achieved in recent months. It's 2 AM here and they're voting on a bill to drastically reduce Bolsonaro's sentence. There will be no hope if this passes; it's better to give up on this cursed place.

Some American expressions are still so weird to me...
