  • If I want something and can afford it, I buy it. The best purchases retrospectively are always the ones I get a lot of enjoyment out of. For example I don't regret spending a lot of money on my bicycles because I've got a lot of enjoyment out of riding them for thousands of kilometres every year. The only purchases I regret are ones I don't end up using as much as I thought I would.

    Obviously if you share expenses with others, you need to consider their needs to. For me that means not spending money on a bike that I'm going to need for a shared holiday or whatever later on.

  • There is no use case for TempleOS. It's just a curiosity, albeit an interesting one.

  • Unless we're talking about going all out, practicality and affordability be damned in the name of every marginal gain possible, it's probably the road bike I already own:

    Cannondale CAAD13 (alloy frame), mechanical 105 with hydraulic disc brakes and a set of alloy DT Swiss wheels (PR 1600).

  • Oh, I totally read that as you talking from experience :)

    Or do you mod somewhere else?

  • Since you're on the same instance as me, I assume you are a mod/admin there. Let me use this opportunity to say thank you to you and all the other mods on feddit.org for helping to keep that place one of the most pleasant online spaces I've come across in my years on the internet. As far as I can tell from the outside you and the others are doing a great job.

  • Can someone explain where the assumption comes from that the sticks are definitely going to drift, just because they use potentiometers? I get that people got burned by the Switch 1 Joycons, but doesn't pretty much every other gamepad ever (except perhaps a few specialty ones) also use that technology for the sticks?

    I've personally never had any sticks develop drift, on any controller I've owned. If Xbox, Playstation, PC and older Nintendo controllers all didn't have the problems the Switch 1 Joycons did, then why the assumption the Switch 2 will be like the Switch 1 and not like all the other consoles that use potentiometer sticks with no issues?

  • In my experience the city information is not particularly reliable. If you geolocate my IP the city is always wrong.

  • We have this law in Germany too. It's illegal to bring protective items or face coverings to a protest. When the cops start beating people you're expected to just sit there and take it. It's totally fucked up.

  • When I was 13 I wrapped a fire cracker in tape apart from the end with the fuse (I thought it would be louder that way). It exploded in my hand as I lit it.

    My hand was fine because of the tape but the full force of the blast came out the untaped end and shot fragments of paper and black powder right into my face and eyes.

    Ended up having to get rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. They basically removed several layers of skin from my face and scraped the debris from my eyeballs. After surgery I couldn't see further than like 10cm from my face and the doctors told me either it would be permanent or I'd be able to see again in a week or so. Luckily it was the latter.

    I got extremely lucky and made a full recovery.

  • Wer keine Zeit hat um einmal am Tag 45 Minuten Essen zu kochen setzt die Prioritäten falsch

    Ich glaube es muss nicht zwangsläufig daran liegen, dass keine Zeit da ist. Ich glaube oft fehlt nach einem langen, anstrengenden Arbeitstag einfach die Energie und/oder Motivation sich noch in die Küche zu stellen und was zu kochen. Mich betrifft das jetzt nicht so sehr (habe einen entspannten Bürojob mit viel Homeoffice), aber wenn ich jeden Tag 8 Stunden auf dem Bau hart körperlich arbeiten müsste, würde ich glaube ich nach der Arbeit auch nur noch auf der Couch lungern.

  • Doesn't matter if you're allowed to ride on the sidewalk, when doing so you need to make sure not to bother pedestrians. They shouldn't have to be paying special attention to cyclists. You have to make sure you're paying attention and not getting in their way, not the other way around. If that means riding at walking speed, or pushing your bike, then that's what you have to do (or ride on the road). Remember, pedestrians are vulnerable road users too.

  • Wir können alternativ auch einfach weiter zusehen und nichts tun während Nazis unsere Gesellschaft zerstören und Menschen terrorisieren.

  • Wenn es nach mir ginge würde die bloße Mitgliedschaft oder Unterstützung solcher Gruppen ausreichen um eine mehrjährige Haftstrafe wegen Mitgliedschaft in einer terroristischen Vereinigung nach sich zu ziehen. Klar ist das in einem Rechtsstaat nicht so einfach und es gibt (zurecht) hohe Hürden, aber es kotzt mich nur noch an wie das Problem einfach von Politik, Strafverfolgung und Justiz größtenteils ignoriert wird, während der Rest der Bevölkerung unter diesen Wichsern leidet.

  • Alice In Chains: MTV Unplugged

  • You should take that chart with a grain of salt. It takes a while for Garmin to get to know you and for the stamina estimates to get more accurate. When I switched to Garmin it would say I was at 0% stamina one hour into a four hour ride, which is obviously wrong.

  • Einfach optionales Textfeld oder gar nicht erst abfragen.

  • Wenn man Obst oder Gemüse selbst eingeben muss nehme ich immer Bio und wähle an der Kasse die nicht-bio Version.
