Why should my half hour be worth less than your minute or 2 until you can safely overtake.
Not to mention that if their bike commute allows them to take a car of the road, you might be faster on average you just think that the bike makes you slower. Plus the 1000s of dollars in just waste if they would need to own a car instead and so on …
You know what’s super convenient for you(r group) but super inconvenient for everyone else, car centric infrastructure development.
There’s a big difference in that type of cyclist and someone that’s riding a bike in street clothes for a commute. And it doesn’t make sense to act like they’re the same.
No there isn’t at least not a large one, cycling costume or not has almost no bearing on whether the ride is for recreation/fitness or for getting from a to b, often both are combined. If you had a 30km commute on a bike you’d also try to wear clothes that make it easier to get there quickly and you would use the most direct route and this is what most cyclists are doing when people get annoyed by them.
Plenty of people are doing their commute as their training ride because it makes sense to do so, why should they have to drive their car half an hour and do an hour of cardio instead of their hour cycle commute, just so you can arrive a minute early come on.
Burnout my friend.
Random, freezing the conflict should be kinda obvious in meaning, 2099 and letting the Chinese sort it out is a reference to the actual hand over of Hong Kong from the British to the Chinese
Simple build a freezer over the entire area and let the Chinese decide in 2099.
I was at one of the best schools in Turkey for a week on exchange.
The cafeteria food i got to try was good but probably nothing special for Turkey in terms of dish selection and such. I really mostly remember eating sucuc scrambled eggs and sipping tea every morning.
We only had one dinner at the school while I was there which was very nice and fancy, but it also was separate from the normal boarding school dinner. So quite a bit nicer for just our group of 60 especially I’d guess in terms of presentation. The chefs running the show were the same tho so the taste should be quite good even for regular dinner.
The rest of the evenings as far as I can remember we were eating out and getting hammered in downtown Istanbul so the host students at least had some allowance to burn and so did the rest of us.
I don’t think I really ate anything that was close to bad or unappealing that entire week, but im also not that picky and Turkish food obviously slaps.

There are a few factors that stand in the way of this setup, but a milder version of this where we are generally trying to tie power grids together to transmit solar and wind power from places with favorable conditions to users is underway. I know for example of at least one large project where Singapore is installing large scale solar in Australia and building undersea cables for transmission (1). So we are going in this direction despite difficulty.
The main issues are:
There are probably other issues but work is being pursued nonetheless.

I wouldn’t think so, mostly because it’s long and not straightforward to read/pronounce.
I find my parents approach to naming to be quite reasonable : Give a short and easy to pronounce/understand first name, and a more creative/interesting and longer second name.
Short names generally make things easier, and about half of the people I know that have long first names (3 or more syllables) have adopted a shortened version of their name or an unrelated nickname for everyday use.
Steffie instead of Stephanie, tini instead of christine, Ulli instead of ulrich, johan for Johannes, max for Maximilian…
For just the old website aesthetics I recommend Japanese websites, I looked at the website of UTAU and laughed out loud just because of the nostalgic feel, as well as me not knowing Japanese and thus the site being sorta indecipherable.
Dinner is like 90+% homecooking 10% Döner. Other than that it’s bread and other cold stuff straight from the supermarket.
The budget option is probably an entry level and used android phone without a sim.
The piracy mega thread.
Incidentally the plateau is a great hiking spot, it’s obviously beautiful, not particularly overrun (compared to the Alps it’s almost comically empty), there are reasonably many dnt huts - typically self service -, and free camping is explicitly allowed in Norway.
Yep I switched from quertz to this because the symbols used in coding are Ansi QWERTY derived. Can still write German and get brackets on layer 0 best of both worlds.
Recently my stepsister replied to my half joking complaint about not getting within a second of the lap record at the kart track, that maybe this complaint explains some of the issues I’m having.
Upon rolling the thought around in my head a ton since then yeah that tracks, the question now becomes how to not aim high, and or not be disappointed by missing high aims. And why this is my Modus operandi to begin with, to aim high, not try all that hard and expect to succeed.
Yes I have never learned to type and left shift isn’t getting any use.
Subjectively should I learn how to type ? I do like 60 wpm currently without training and use probably 7/10 fingers.
KPMG, Deloitte and Mc Kinsey, for reasons that include at times being both financial auditor and bookkeeping at the same time, and consultancy meaning reducing headcount no matter the cost.
I don’t really know all that much about it honestly but all I’ve heard of them, is that they get the smartest people to do the worst thing that they can get away with.
The esoteric method of YouTube citations + RL recommendations + Google search “[topic I’m thinking about]+ Reddit”+ source of the anime I’ve watched. It’s fine so far but I’ve just gotten back into reading so I may still add yet more esoteric methods.
It does my brother in overkill at the time but somehow in retrospect completely worth it GPU.
I live in a city that offers nearly any type of service/shop local to me so nowadays I’ll likely use them here unless what I’m searching for is overly specific.
My mom recently took me to a store selling minerals and fossils, which while not my scene, is quite an interesting place to just walk through.
Realistically I should probably get some of my food from a farming coop but my volume is so low and the supermarket is right in front of my door, to make that the main exception.
Prices sometimes are higher but typically not egregiously so, and for some things i find it within myself to pay that higher price.
