  • How do I deal with someone who's been shitting in front of my house?

  • Jump out of the bushes while furiously masturbating. Scream at them to "KEEP GOING I AM ALMOST THERE PINCH OFF THAT HAWT STEAMING LOAF DADDY". Pretty sure one of two things will happen: Either they freak out, pull up, and high tail it out of there never to be seen again, or they lock eyes with you and maintain that connection through a slight squint and some grunts. Make sure you record it and post this to the internet.

  • FTA:

    Even the Fietsersbond cyclist association is changing its tone, while stressing that there is no excuse for reckless drivers or poor infrastructure. “We have the position that helmets don’t prevent accidents but it can be a wise decision to wear one on a voluntary basis,” said its director, Esther van Garderen. “Emphasising too much that you should wear a helmet would discourage people from cycling sometimes, though, and has the air of victim-blaming. I think it’s coming slowly, although there’s no such thing as a society with zero danger and we value our culture where you can cycle safe and free.”

    Seems like a soft position from Fiestersbond and for good reason. I read your article and then followed the sources and looked up the actual numbers. And you need to STFU with your helmet opinion and actually think about the articles you read/link and their sources. According to the same links sourced in the article(!), the CBS says in 2023, people here in NL over the age of six (roughly 15-16m people) traveled over 1000km each by bike in the year. So just shy of 3km a day by bike. Millions upon millions of trips per fucking year. How many of those millions of trips resulted in a crash? 120k. Wow, that seems like a lot doesn't it? How many people cycle on any given day? According to wikipedia, which cites a EU travel report, 36%. So 5.4m-ish people, making at least one trip per day makes it almost 2 billion trips over an entire fuckin year (5.4m * 365 == 1.97b). So, of those 2 billion trips, we have 120k crashes. Which is... hold on, let me paste it from the calculator because it has so many fucking zeros: 0.000060882800609.

    Now, let's do some math. How likely is it that you will be in a crash in a given year?

    No-crash probability per trip:1−0.00006=0.99994.

    Annual no-crash probability (365 trips):(0.99994)^365≈0.9783.

    Annual crash probability:1−0.9783=0.0217 or 2.17%.

    So a 1 in 46 chance of being in a crash in a given year from cycling one trip every day and of those crashes, less than half are serious. Over my 1000km I cycle. Get the fuck outta here with "very common" from your shit article.

  • They are a thing. But most people are gonna ride a beater that if it gets stolen, no big deal. ebikes in particular are a big target for theft, especially the shitty fat tire ones. In fact, ebikes are becoming a bit of a nuisance because of the speed difference between them and regular bikes. In Amsterdam, we already force the mopeds (ICE or electric) to be on the street with the cars. And the city will vote soon to ban the fat tire ebikes from Vondelpark because of the nuisance they cause among heavy mixed traffic. There have been complaints to the city that older people don't feel safe on the fietspad any more because of the big speed difference and I agree with them. The fietspad should be for everyone, not only the fastest.

  • Not really that necessary in NL. Most people are cruising the city at 18-20kph. The fietsers on the ebikes obviously go faster, but in heavy traffic, you're not gonna go full speed anyhow.

  • This is one of the busiest bike intersections in Utrecht. It is right by the central train station. When the camera pans right, you can see the exterior of the amazing bike parking structure that sits under the plaza in front of the station and shopping mall.

  • How did bittorrent fail to become essential technology?

    Jump

  • You still need to seed and once the thing has been distributed, odds are good the clients will disconnect among the normies. Bittorrent only really works if everyone contributes space and bandwidth because you're really joining a community and curating data. And not everyone is nerdy or tech savvy enough to do that which means products aren't really going to be built around it.

  • It is also totally legit to do hobby things out of anger which is the obverse side of the "I'm happy that I did this" coin. Like, "this bothers me so much that I need to do this". And then it is relief after it is done. Perhaps the less contentment-able (or low tolerance for settling) types of people can harness this power better.

  • There is no secret sauce here. Either you choose to persevere against the un-enjoyable-ness, or you don't. If this bothers you this much, try to find strategies for coping such as: lowering your expectations (perfection brings tedium and tedium is the enjoyment killer), shrinking your scope (less work, less chance of drowning in the enormity of the project), recommit to goals with rigor (sometimes you just gotta suck it up even if it isn't enjoyable and you want that reward/payoff).

  • Keep a rotating carousel of hobbies. Be frugal in your spend when getting into a new hobby. Really feel the pain of not spending before committing. I've started and abandoned so many projects. I come back to them on occasion and prod them along another few steps until I hit another brain blocker and then rotate to another shiny. The trick is to just go with the flow. You don't owe the universe your productivity. Do things to enjoy them. If you don't enjoy what you're doing, just don't do it.
