Medelim is located in the Municipality of Idanha-a-Nova. Map showing Medelim in Portugal (Google Maps) So many of the towns and cities in Portugal have public fountains. Often the water is drinkable. https://postingwebsite.com/posts/portuguese-seafood-market/ Thu, 03 Sep 2026 19:42:37 -0300 https://postingwebsite.com/posts/portuguese-seafood-market/ From Ocean to Counter: A Walk Through Portugal’s Fresh Fish Markets A Tour of Fresh Catches, Local Prices, and Market Staples In Portugal, seafood isn’t just a dietary staple—it is a central pillar of the country’s culture and everyday life. Walking into a local supermercado or traditional lota reveals an incredible variety of daily catches, meticulously laid out on ice and tagged with regional prices. From versatile staples like robalo (sea bass) and dourada (sea bream) to prized delicacies like tamboril (monkfish) and prepared caldeirada mixes, these seven photos offer a direct look into how the Portuguese select, prep, and celebrate the freshest fish from the Atlantic. https://postingwebsite.com/posts/i-dont-get-it/ Thu, 03 Sep 2026 10:59:39 -0300 https://postingwebsite.com/posts/i-dont-get-it/ I don’t get it and I don’t know if I am even free to talk about it. Socialism is moving, has been moving, very quickly on western economies. This is not new, it was seen in the last century, before my time. Socialism vs. Capitalism Forget the manifestos. Forget the slogans. Skip the left wing vs right wing. Get rid of all of this new speak that bogs everything down. https://postingwebsite.com/posts/prime-numbers/ Sun, 23 Aug 2026 07:58:23 -0300 https://postingwebsite.com/posts/prime-numbers/ This is a study of Prime Numbers and computers. This article is to just get started understanding Prime Numbers. Definition of Prime Numbers If I want to define a Prime Number, I could look to Wikipedia for a definition. A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. Everything beyond that definition is just making it more complicated. This assumes that the use of the terms a natural number and a product are understood. https://postingwebsite.com/posts/zram-on-raspberry-pi/ Sat, 22 Aug 2026 21:17:56 -0300 https://postingwebsite.com/posts/zram-on-raspberry-pi/ This is a discussion on ZRAM on the Raspberry Pi. Before I enter into this discussion, I have personally used ZRAM for quite a while. I do not remember when it first came onto my radar. I have a few Raspberry Pi SBC devices. My earliest one is a Raspberry Pi B, which I purchased in 2012. I ran this with a 4 GB SD card and the Raspberry Pi Raspbian OS. https://postingwebsite.com/posts/cheese-please/ Fri, 21 Aug 2026 22:27:26 -0300 https://postingwebsite.com/posts/cheese-please/ You cannot look at this without being hungry. Okay, but I cannot. I love a good cheese and this is a good selection of cheeses that I miss very much. The prices are not bad. The flavours are good, and these are just the commercial grocery store stock. So much cheese to choose from. https://postingwebsite.com/posts/a-memorable-sunset/ Thu, 20 Aug 2026 21:20:56 -0300 https://postingwebsite.com/posts/a-memorable-sunset/ A memorable sunset I find it amazing how a simple photo of a sunset can evoke memories of times gone past that bring such emotions. As I look at this photo, I see a white building with little to define it, I see the silhouette of trees and another structure. You probably can notice the same. Yes, the colours are nice, the clouds pop up on the different layers, and the contrasts are clear. https://postingwebsite.com/posts/its-the-little-things/ Wed, 19 Aug 2026 07:29:52 -0300 https://postingwebsite.com/posts/its-the-little-things/ I look back in my life. There are times when life has taken big turns. Sure, there is meeting someone, getting married, starting a family, buying a car, getting that job. All those things in my past that were expected to make up what was expected in life. But it is the sudden shift that changes the direction of life. There are tragedies that may be forced upon us. I am talking about death and taxes mostly. https://postingwebsite.com/posts/pizza-dough-next-day/ Mon, 17 Aug 2026 11:55:10 -0300 https://postingwebsite.com/posts/pizza-dough-next-day/ This is a follow up story to my Pizza Dough Recipe. The pizza dough did work out quite well and we enjoyed the pizza that we created. This morning, we thought that we would make another pizza with the second piece of dough. When I took the pizza dough out of the refrigerator, I found that it had risen and expanded beyond the container that I stored it in. Pizza dough that was stored in the refrigerator overnight. https://postingwebsite.com/posts/pizza-dough-recipe/ Sun, 16 Aug 2026 13:44:24 -0300 https://postingwebsite.com/posts/pizza-dough-recipe/ This is a recipe that I have found on the internet and I use it as my definitive recipe for making pizza dough. What is particular to my pizza dough requirements is that I want to bake the pizza on a pizza stone in my oven, and that I want to use my stand mixer with two different dough attachments to make the pizza dough. There are three parts to this recipe, as there are with all others: (1) Equipment List, (2) Ingredients, and (3) Instructions https://postingwebsite.com/posts/dog-days-of-summer/ Sun, 16 Aug 2026 11:18:48 -0300 https://postingwebsite.com/posts/dog-days-of-summer/ What are the Dog Days of Summer? Technically, these are the days between July 3 and November 11. When I do a search on the internet, I quickly see this information: Dog days of summer are the hottest, most uncomfortable days of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, traditionally linked to the star Sirius (the “Dog Star”) rising around the same time as the Sun. The period is commonly given as July 3 to August 11 each year. https://postingwebsite.com/posts/a-really-hot-day/ Sat, 15 Aug 2026 21:28:23 -0300 https://postingwebsite.com/posts/a-really-hot-day/ This is an image from a really hot day that I lived through, and I have the photo to tell the truth. The date is July 8, 2022. We are still in the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The temperature readings inside my car The temperature this day is 47.9 degrees Celcius, or 118.2 degrees Farenheit. This weather is hot. But we get used to it. You can’t stay indoors. Our air conditioner does not really work anymore at these temperatures. https://postingwebsite.com/posts/understanding-each-other/ Sat, 15 Aug 2026 08:22:53 -0300 https://postingwebsite.com/posts/understanding-each-other/ Do we understand each other? I would say No. But I do believe that we think that we understand each other. There are different types of people with different approaches to life and with different approaches to other people that they live with or encounter or interact with, and so on. I believe that there are people who are aware of their own selves and probably aware of most people around them. https://postingwebsite.com/posts/where-does-time-go/ Fri, 14 Aug 2026 11:54:19 -0300 https://postingwebsite.com/posts/where-does-time-go/ This is an age old question. If you are younger, you will not feel it the same. If you are around twenty, you are in your prime, in my opinion. By the time you hit thirty, you suddenly realize ten years got away. Every decade that follows is fleeting. https://postingwebsite.com/posts/first-thoughts/ Thu, 13 Aug 2026 23:11:38 -0300 https://postingwebsite.com/posts/first-thoughts/ Testing the new web stack live from a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W!
