  • Anyone else notice a lack of Cinco de Mayo celebration this year?

    Jump

  • Cinco de Mayo commerates the Battle of Puebla. In the 1860s, the French took advantage of the United States being distracted by the Civil War and invaded México. The French were very pro-Confederate at the time. They planned to use México as a supply line to assist the Confederates. On 5 May, 1863, a rag tag group of Mexican soldiers defeated invading/occupying French troops in an embarrassing defeat. This stopped the French plans to support the Confederacy and fueled a Mexican insurgence to drive out the French and return them to Europe.

    In the early 20th century, a group of Latinos in Texas (Mexicans, Guatamalans, Hondurans, etc) wanted to celebrate a "Latino pride" sort of day. Ironically, they chose Cinco de Mayo since it was an unknown, never celebrated holiday that wasn't country X's independence day. And it took off from there.

  • Mexican here. Cinco de Mayo commerates the Battle of Puebla. It's widely celebrated in the United States and not celebrated here. It's really more a Mexican-American thing.

    There are 32 states down here and only one, Puebla itself, has the day off. As a resident of one of the other 31 states, it literally was a normal day at work for me.

  • Agreed. English is so stoopid sometimes! I didn't read what you said as offensive at all. We're all good. 😺

  • You're right! The translation is such a disservice. That's why I prefer to simply use the Czech term, houskové knedlíky. My goal was to expand my cultural understanding by trying to make another country's food by hand. I'm very happy to say that I'm accomplishing that goal. 😻🇨🇿

  • You're not far off. I was aiming for a poor man's svíčková by learning to make the houskové knedlíky first. My goal for the coming weeks is to make svíčková entirely by hand and do even better with the houskové knedlíky.

    One step at a time. I'm proud of my first step. 😺🇨🇿

  • Because somebody told me to Czech it out! 🇨🇿

    Are you Hungary for my bad humor? I'll be here all night! 😹🇭🇺

    Sorry how bad this humor is. I know it needs more Polish! 🇵🇱

    Serious Answer: I was in the Czech Republic recently and really fell in love with some Czech food. I work from home and love to cook. So I wanted to see what I could recreate from home.

  • I love them. I don't think I nailed the presentation, but I nailed the execution. They tasted lovely!

    I'm a Mexican trying to make Czech food. I'm definitely exploring a new dimension of my cooking. I'm having fun! 🇨🇿🇲🇽

  • How much do you pay for your phone plan, what do you get in return and in which country?

    Jump

  • México. I have Telcel. I pay 550 MXN (≈ 27 USD; €25.50; £21.20) and get 16 GB data + unlimited calling/text with free roaming in the United States and Canada. I also get free long distance to national numbers and United States and Canada.

    One trick: my plan is technically 8 GB with a 2 × 1 promotion for 2 years. Every two years, all I do is ask them to renew my contract and my 2 × 1 promotion and I get my 16 GB back. I literally get 8 GB of data for the cost of a smile and a "por favor" every two years.

    EDITED TO ADD: I get full 5G speeds in both México and in the United States and Canada. I get up to 200 Mbps in both México and the United States. While in the United States, I roam on the T Mobile network, so I'll get whatever the T Mobile network is capable of. I've never been to Canada, so I don't know how well it performs. But it's still part of my plan.

    And, if I want native coverage in Latin America, EU, or UK, I can pay 950 MXN (≈ 46.60 USD; €44; £36.60) on demand for 10 GB of data for 30 days. Granted, travel eSIMs are a better deal, but the option is there.

  • It's not from Spain, no. You have the language correct, but but the continent. It's too bad, because the EU laws are better than ours. 😿🇪🇸🇪🇺

  • You'd guess right. Ironically, we have great consumer protection laws here and it's illegal here, too. But I doubt the authorities would do much without a flood of complaints.

    And sadly, my Twitter/𝕏 thread with the company in private message is going nowhere. 😿

  • I wish it were that simple. I use their actual product all the time and genuinely enjoy it. It's literally the best in the country. So I need the emails from their domain for my actual purchases. I just want to be deleted from their bloody advertisments!
