Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27.

By
Muito interessante pessoal, jamais imaginei como se media isso! abraços, Ivan Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27. A nomenclatura dos pregos é algo bastante desconhecido da maioria das pessoas. Isso ocorre porque há muitos padrões no mercado. Existe uma equivalência aproximada entre elas, mas as usuais estão em Polegadas Inglesas x BWG, JP x LPP e ainda o padrão métrico oficial, mm x mm. Entenda o que significam estas siglas: Polegadas Inglesas: multiplique o número correspondente por 25,4 para ter o comprimento em mm. BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge) e JP (Jauge de Paris): são tabelas próprias que indicam o diâmetro do prego. LPP (Linhas Por Polegadas Portuguesas): multiplique o número correspondente por 2,3 para ter o comprimento em mm. No Brasil usamos mais o seguinte formato: JP x LPP Onde: JP é o diâmetro, em JDP (Jauge de Paris) LPP é o comprimento, em Linhas de Polegada Portuguesa. 1 JDP = ver tabela abaixo 1 Linha de Polegada Portuguesa: 2,30 mm Conversao de Medi...

How Fiction Helps Me Understand the Truths of Life

By
Image
  How Fiction Helps Me Understand the Truths of Life I have always loved reading fiction, especially novels that explore the complexities of human nature, culture, and history. Fiction is not just a form of entertainment for me, but a way to learn more about myself and the world around me. As Amy Tan, one of my favorite authors, said in her Masterclass, “Fiction is the best way to understand the truths of life”. I have also been writing fiction for a long time, using my own thoughts, memories, and imagination as the raw materials for my stories. I believe that writing fiction is not only a creative outlet, but also a therapeutic process that helps me cope with the challenges and conflicts that I face in my life. One of the most powerful tools that I use as a writer is my past. I have experienced many things in my life, some good and some bad, that have shaped me as a person. Some of these experiences are too painful or difficult to talk about, but I can use them as inspiration for ...

Qual é a diferença entre ser esperto e ser inteligente?

By
Image
Tiago Arantes de Nascimento · 30 de março Antigo Técnico industrial Qual é a diferença entre ser esperto e ser inteligente? O esperto é um produto do meio, uma pessoa que não teve condições de ter uma boa educação mas que é muito vivida e extremamente perspicaz e criativo encontra soluções para seus problemas mesmo com pouco recurso. Como geralmente passam por muitas dificuldades desde a infância então possui uma intuição mais aguçada que lhe permite não ser enganado facilmente assim como se utiliza dessa habilidade para perceber as fraquezas das pessoas e as manipula para benefício próprio. Sabe qual o maior esperto que já conheci ? Ele mesmo, João Grilo, do meu filme preferido, o Auto da Compadecida. O amarelo mais sabido que já vi, retrato do matuto sertanejo que dribla as adversidades da vida usando a esperteza. Apesar de na maioria das vezes agir sem ética não dá pra negar que ele é esperto demais. Ganhou dinheiro de sacerdotes, matou lampião, riu da cara do diabo, se livrou d...

 Daikiti Puerto Ricans have a very peculiar way of speaking (read it "their accent").  Called Boricuas (read more below), I'm blessed to have one as my soulmate, directly from Santurce Puerto Rico! It is known that  Puerto Rican  descendants  call  themselves  Puerto Ricans . ...  Boricua , derived from the Taíno word Boriken is used to affirm  Puerto Ricans  devotion to the island's Taíno heritage. The word Boriken translates to "the great land of the valiant and noble Lord". Bad Bunny is a very popular Puerto Rico Singer and just released it's brand new song called DAIKITI.   "Dakiti means empowerment, fighter, boss b--ch," someone wrote in the replies, attributing the definition to Karol G. Another responded, "Dakiti is a sensation of euphoria that you feel when you are having a really nice time on the go." As a mix of Ostentation (money) Latin Rap together with tons of sex the music is super catchy. However, understanding the Sl...
