I think this is super true. We moved across the pond and are learning a new language, new culture, everything. Time feels SO slow. This year has been a decade.
It’s been hard, but also that part has been cool and a good reminder that it doesn’t always have to be that way
Not sure where you’re located, but if you’re in the EU you can consider Fairphone for an extremely repairable phone instead. The 6 doesn’t have the specs of proper flagships, but it’s quite a step in the ethical direction in my opinion.
As an engineer, I definitely could think of a lot of cool ideas that’d fix problems if I just had unlimited energy or infinite resources.
However, since I’m not a CEO I don’t get paid for said “what ifs”
Agree, people in Copenhagen are pretty relaxed about their commutes most of the time here, especially on bike. It helps that many drivers are also sometimes cyclists and pedestrians, so they understand it.
The real fear is people on hotel bikes. That’s a real mixed bag
Where’s my 4th wave of ska??
The steel soul is getting 100% without dying once. 35 hours for 100% is pretty doable with a route planned and some practice IMO
I don’t think the Speedrun is close to as hard as the steel soul 100% one
Surely this comes from the American, not European point of view, yeah?
The average reddit user is a bot
Yeah, having been in a surprise proper emergency (no power, water, limited roads, cell service, etc for over a week) having some emergency supplies and a radio (if you have a car, AM/FM radio in that is great) completely changes things
Big In Bruges energy
I thought Bruges was super fucking cool, but I love the idea of hating on it like the movie does
Hej fra København og jeg tror du har ret
Headphone jacks. They certainly still exist but every device I owned that made sounds had one in 2015, no longer the case
Yeah, I actually frequented a sim center when I lived in the US. They ran Rfactor2 but it got me doing some iRacing too. It was great fun! I can’t believe how real a lot of it felt. Honestly except for elevation not translating well it was an insane practice tool
Yeah, only IRL for a bike. If they made a really legit sim rig I’d probably have to seriously consider it!
Ah cool! After i raced irl for like a decade I sim raced for a while. It was super fun! I’d like to get back into it someday. It’s a lot better on the wallet and body than IRL stuff (especially motorcycles).
I think it helps, but it probably is more of a selling point and aesthetic than an actual help on the (agreed) biggest selling point number.
It’s one of those decisions that someone up top probably made and has these kinds of stupid consequences of moving fast and breaking shit. I wouldn’t be upset if it had to go to a normal one
Source on that? Hobbiest aerodynamics nerd and big into F1 (and did a lot of liquid system design engineering in a previous job). Genuinely curious!
My gut feel is that a half kilo of unsprung weight (those ridiculous wheels), tighter fenders, or a bit of tail teardropping would go so much further than anything door-handle-wise. It’s certainly helping promote flow attachment, but you’ve got poor flow rates there because of the wing mirrors anyway
No EU passport for me sadly, just a visa. If I could get one I super would want to.
We is my partner and I. Very much a team effort.
great question. I think giving yourself some grace has been a hard but helpful part. Like you will probably not have the bandwidth for keeping the house as clean, the working out, the self improvement, etc etc. Just even giving myself extra time to go to the store and extra space to make boring or meh meals has helped.
Beyond that, all the stuff you’d expect. Putting yourself out there. Listening. Money never hurts (and can help fix certain problems). Friends (from afar and close) are huge.
I began volunteering shortly after arriving and it helped make me a friend circle. I love hanging with them and already can’t wait for Thanksgiving here!
Yeah, oven make some bacon and it’s great to crumble on pizza for something like this. Could make chicken for the same idea too!
