They speak more elegant… or French

Anrwerp is Belgium, though ;)

Indeed, that is what had happened to the League of Nations and why the US never joined.

Also the UN is still an important platform where diplomatic relations are upheld even in dire situations. Even with Russia it is important to have some lines of discussion.

Where I live now, in the Nordics, I get really agitated when I see people (in cars) standing in the middle of crossings and blocking T-junctions to smaller roads. Unlike in the Netherlands, and probably most countries, you can tell that there is way less time spent with an actual instructor (not claiming Dutch drivers are perfect, people in general are not flawless, let a lone in a high speed box on rollers). Another thing that annoys me is the amount of people on their phones while driving, it is insane. I didn’t observe it like this in the Netherlands, but that I might just have missed this. Mobile phones must be the most dangerous addiction if we can’t even put them away when doing potentially dangerous activities.

I completely recognise the experiences you have while driving. My primary transport is public transport. I love it as I can chill and let my mind just relax a bit, but we have access to a car, and, indeed, when using it (when I snoozed a few too many times), everything is upsetting (the issues in the first paragraph are in general bothering me though) and their is no chill time when driving to work. I like driving on a holiday, cause you get to see new things and get to drive scenic routes, but as a means of everyday transport it is the worst.

I can give the people here some slack. The streets are terrible, even in the urban space. And it does indeed help a lot to have guidance and good structural rules on how to use the roads (like roundabouts).

Very cool town, wish he could give a more critical view on the expensive apartments, and potential solutions to make a more diverse town in the future.

Trams are the cosiest things to sit in. I enjoy being half asleep in the morning and just look at all the people being busy. Wish my town had some more grassy lines, but they don’t lack on where you can go.

(edit: I want to add that I am also happy with the buses here, don’t think there is a reason to be either or and rather focus on reducing cars in town and in its suburbs. Obviously easier to do for smaller towns).

beta 2 has significantly more crashes than 1 for me.

Also while I appreciate the screen distance feature (and will keep it on), I hope they will make it a little less intrusive an include a way to ignore for a bit. Sometimes, one has to examine something up close.

I think it works mostly fine, some issues with the charging percentages as well, but they sound more balanced in both ears now. Prior my left pod would have less volume to the right.

I really enjoy adaptive mode, I basically just use that. It blocks out all the loud distracting noises for me, like on the bus or while walking, but doesn’t disconnect me from the world of happy birds tweeting etc. I also feel less nauseated while having a slightly higher breath when in motion.

Don’t really know about speech detection, as it is easier for myself, and more respectful to the speaking partner to just take one or both out.
