She learned the word “dinosaur” last week. Very big word for her. She’s basically like George Pig from that TV show now :'D

There’s a bunch of old texts about a Jewish “prophet” called Jesus, who was gathering some followers. As far as I understand, there’s no really reason not to believe the person existed.
Then again, all the Jesus lore, there’s no reason to believe his miracles were real as those made no sense and there’s no real proof besides those same texts written after Jesse’s death
High voltage is scary as fuck, but also the fact that absolutely everything from doors to gas pedal and chairs are controlled by a computer you need specialized proprietary equipment to investigate.
This is an issue with new ice cars too to be honest
I honestly believe the person starting the thread was on the same wavelength, just pointing out the reason so many still choose ice
I absolutely agree that we should work on improving EVs, charging network and whatever technologies makes it better and more suitable for more people. But every person in need of a car has unique hard requirements for the car that can’t be ignored as “inconvenience” - and many of those people have to drive with fossil fuels still.
Also, battery swap stations being available in X location doesn’t matter to people living in Y location, nor should people in Y location buy EV in hopes that it will be better in Z years
Uh, maintenance is one thing where ICE wins (until very recently, thanks fucktards in car industry). Cars have been generally very easy to work on, with anyone with a toolbox being able to do most their repairs in a shed
Yes, for people who can’t charge at home. I’d love to swap to electric, but 1 hour trip to go charge the car at the nearest charging station is not realistic - especially since I’d need to do it twice as often as 10min trip to refuel.
Also there’s the EV prices, starting at 2-3 times more than my current whip lol
Yeah fuck hosting your own mail infra if you’re not a big company with lot of money to throw into it. Just not worth the pain
Besides, the benefits of doing it are pretty damn minimal except if you specifically want to learn mail infra
Baby wake up, new copypasta just dropped
Probably not any more unsafe than Windows in general. Microsoft already steals all your data, so not sure why you’d be more scared of a script that you can inspect to know exactly what it does
Swiss flag is a big plus though
Yeah it’s a bit poking fun, but you have some extreme temperature swings wherever you live :o
Just wanted to comment on this bit.
- Gloves are more important than helmet, on the couple of fall I got, gloves protected my hands, while my head didn’t hit. However, if you’re in a severe accident a helmet can make the difference so I still recommend one.
Gloves will save you from very annoying and painful scratches on your hands, but helmet can save you from becoming vegetable or dead. I don’t think there’s any competition for which is more important, helmet any day.
Still, definitely recommend both but at very least a helmet
I’ll just comment on the con list
- look like an annoying dork (esp w neon - which also hurts the quaint factor)
You don’t have to wear Lycra to bike commute. Comfy shorts, T-shirt and trainers is fine
- have to wear a helmet (^)
Get a decent helmet, it’s way less annoying when the helmet is breathing well and sits on your head properly.
- getting sweaty, potentially “unpresentable” for work
Yeah this is pretty annoying. Best advice I can give is to have your stuff sacked into a bag attached to your bike (handlebar bag, pannier, etc). Backpack prevents the airflow in your back and causes ton of sweating
- still have to find safe parking
No comment on this one, as European I’ve never found myself in a situation where parking a bike is anything but fine
- still takes a while
May take longer but is 267% (I measured) more fun than a car
- have to find new routes to places
This should be a pro
- can’t listen to music or might die
Headphones with transparency mode on are great for cycling
- little meaningful protection against severe injury
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen seen studies suggesting bike commute lowers the chance of injury on average due to the health gains. Or something, not bothering to search for it now. Also I think this might be a bit eurocentric, since the bikelanes are not that great on many other places
- can only carry so many groceries/etc
If you plan on carrying a week worth of groceries for a family of 3, then cargo bike might just be for you. Otherwise, daily shop visits for what’s needed are fine with bicycle bags or basket
- sucks in winter
Attitude issue. I love cycling in winter
No, stereos are playing imperial march
So we have 3 languages in the family, native languages for me and wife + English as common language. It’s a huge mess and at almost 4yo she’s mixing up languages and a little bit slow on learning to speak in general, but we’ve been told that’s just how it goes
But why can a theme make web requests?!

You have no fucking idea what you’re talking about, just parroting whatever the fuck you heard from radio sputnika.
Yes, USA has a ton of influence over Europe, and people are starting to understand it, but we wanted to join NATO DESPITE IT. There’s really no other option.
The opinion in Finland and Sweden was for long time largely negative regarding joining NATO, but after the Russian invasion in Ukraine in 2022 people started demanding it.
There will be shit falling down due to it’s size, so the deorbit has to be controlled
