Remarkable, I spoke spanish on the training audio without realising. Then every two options were one with a latino-accented english and one with an indian-accented english
Yes, you could be wrong and you are. It's a law proposal, not a law in any way.
I also guess that it's a bit more complicated than that, but I won't make any assumptions before I read it myself instead of what a Spanish TV/newspaper can tell me as they are always super biased. I suggest you to do the same.
I'm from a town nearby Pontevedra. I lived in the city, and outside. I really like carless cities, and move almost everywhere by bike where I live now (Coruña).
Pontevedra is great, and I really like how the city center feels, it got super friendly to walk by foot. But every time I see news like this I get a little angry because they don't talk about the real experience of commuting to the city or its crazy development.
Regarding development: The city has very few parks inside it compared to other Spanish cities. Mainly because they don't save spaces for them, the ones that exist have 30+ years. Building development is crazy, you can build virtually everywhere. You can see new buildings leaving very narrow alleys (example in [1]), tons of new buildings with no single "green zone" nearby (example in [2] where the only planned "park" is the little one by the roundabout)
Regarding commuting: Doing so from the multiple towns around is not easy and got way worse. . Many kids go to study to Pontevedra from 20+ km around. The road from my parent's house from my mothers job has 40 road bumpers in total. She does 4 trips a day counting 160 bumps a day. It gets old quick. The "deterrent parkings" are poorly located to avoid crossing the city and the main one we can use looks like a swamp when it rains, as you can see here: https://goo.gl/maps/N7E7jjzzC2VbAjmaA
I just want to put our two cents on a different side on the story, I wish they implemented some more policies for outsiders that work / use city services. I hope more people get the whole picture from this.
I used the three of them and always ended using Tilda. Be sure to install 1.2.2 (from the gh repo) so you can even use Solarized colors (the one on the ubuntu was 1.2.1 last time I checked).
Xfce's default terminal emulator also has this hotkey feature now.
In OSX I just use afplay. Lowest CPU/battery consumption ever. I made a simple ruby gem that uses it for playing random / specific music on your /Music folder: http://rubygems.org/gems/gramola It does the trick for me: "just play music while I code and save me some battery". Hope somebody else finds it useful :)
Nice! I admire you for being able to travel and do all this stuff. I'm travelling for 7 months now and after the 1st month I realized I couldn't do both things. Keep moving! :)
Great, thanks to this thread comments I have realized the only representative "my" party has on the EU Parliament did not vote... but her last bog post says she is happy they wont let ACTA to be approved. I feel... sad
I created a similar app using mac's afplay 11 (yikes) years ago https://github.com/andion/gramola
I don't use it anymore but at the time it made my battery last longer, you can see a battery consumption comparison on the repo.
