Hey, reading your comment it sounds like you are angry about the story and image shared here. It makes me sad, as you seem to believe that your comment adds anything meaningful. I wish you to gain a better intuition on when expressing your opinion actually makes a valuable contribution

I thought about explaining OS to her for a second. Then I decided if she’s still enjoying life without digitalization so much that she doesn’t need a charged cell phone, it can still wait a year or two

Ah, found a solution for that too. There’s services twhere you can send a pdf and they will print it, pack it in an envelope and send it to any address you specify.

I just write the document by hand the one time a year I need a printer. Doesn’t work for everything but is good enough for lots of the stuff that still requires your signature in ink

Cheers, really appreciate it

Thank you for the reply (and for engaging in meaningful conversation, which is a rarety on the internet). Could you share a link to that article? Not bc I doubt your word, I’m just genuinely curious

I was looking for that evidence, but all the report has are indications. Proof would mean there’s messages that outline this plan, documents, audio recordings, the software backdoor used to kill the ballots anything like that.

I’m not saying it’s a bad article, they provide good reasoning and the data looks really odd. Just until here it’s a theory.

Awesome, thank you!!

So… Living inside that zone (of EU USA Canada) I don’t feel we just let them do whatever they want. It’s even worse, we’re supplying fuel for them to burn down houses 😔

Letting them do what they want? Na, where do you think all the defense supplies used by the IDF are coming from?

Wow, this is so beautiful. Really nice shot!

It ain’t much, but no matter how bad today is, you will never have to live through today again. To some the progress of time is horrible, but to those struggling it can also give the peace that today will never repeat itself. When you go to bed, remember you made it through today. You’re still here and with everything going on in your life that means you are stronger than you think. Stronger than those who never feel the struggle could ever understand. ✊

Sometimes I struggle to stop scrolling and just go to sleep. But this meme has such poetry in it, it’s my good piece of news for today. Makes me go to sleep with a smile on my face, thank you!

The idea of a gender reveal party when someone comes out is awesome :)

The moral dilemma of not doxing someone vs celebrating them…

Context: riding s-Pedelec through a European city for 25km each way on commute several times a week over three seasons at any weather. Been doing since 3 years now. Majority of the path is cycle paths, lots of crossings and entrances that have cars coming out on the way.

Helmet:

• NTA8667 certified
• with MIPS
• integrated lighting
• windshield

(e. G. Lumos ultra ebike smart helmet). Mine is a bit older, that’s the one I’d get now.

Vest: high vis with reflectors and good air circulation. Small rain jacket in the bike bag.

Trousers: reflectors there as well, always carry rain-proof trousers in your bike bag. 30mph make you freeze to your bones even in summer if you get wet and have wind running through your cloths

Gloves: depending on the season, high summer none, when temps are below 18degC light mountain bike gloves, when temps are below 12 thicker gloves. Beginning and end of the biking season skiing gloves.

Bike:

• spoke reflectors
• really loud horn. You want a car driver to jump when you press the horn not to be annoyed by you
• additional lights for driving in the rain

I never had an accident in three years but lots of close calls and I really try to save time on my commute, so I don’t go slow. However, that being said I think similarly important to the right equipment is the mindset.

• Plan your route so that you avoid any tricky spots. E. G. My old route went on a stretch of road through the woods. I hated it bc the road turns meant car drivers could potentially not see me in time.
• be paranoid about car drivers
• be double paranoid about trucks. There’s no do over after a truck accident, no matter what you wore.
• be paranoid about pedestrians. They’ll randomly veer off path.
• never believe that a car driver will not just cut right across your way only bc they looked at you 1 second before. They do not understand how fast you are.
• I’d rather get sued than killed. There are spots where it is illegal to drive my bike on a cycling path (stupid laws). Same spot has a really tricky and dangerous stretch of road. I’m happy to pay the fee for having taken the bike path illegally, a lot cheaper than an accident.
• take care of others, be prepared to break. Normal cyclists are like turtles when you’re riding an s-Pedelec. Keep proper distance and just factor in the few minutes extra for staying in line behind them for a mile each way
• Train braking from full speed in emergency mode. It’s not that easy with such a heavy bike. Keep your emergency brake path also in mind when choosing your speed.
• assume they don’t know you’re there until you honked them.

That last one combines great with the paranoid rules above, don’t honk in anger, honk to make others aware you’re there. Also when driving in the rain in the dark you unlock a new mode! You’re completely invisible, no matter how much lights you carry. That assumption saved my ass twice last season.

First time ever I heard Kazakhstan being called part of the European region.

Sorry, didn’t know that. I was just looking for a video hosting site that requires no account. Happy for better suggestions on what to use next time

Was the first thing I found that let me upload a video for a few days w/o making an account
