Why should my half hour be worth less than your minute or 2 until you can safely overtake.

Not to mention that if their bike commute allows them to take a car of the road, you might be faster on average you just think that the bike makes you slower. Plus the 1000s of dollars in just waste if they would need to own a car instead and so on …

You know what’s super convenient for you(r group) but super inconvenient for everyone else, car centric infrastructure development.

There’s a big difference in that type of cyclist and someone that’s riding a bike in street clothes for a commute. And it doesn’t make sense to act like they’re the same.

No there isn’t at least not a large one, cycling costume or not has almost no bearing on whether the ride is for recreation/fitness or for getting from a to b, often both are combined. If you had a 30km commute on a bike you’d also try to wear clothes that make it easier to get there quickly and you would use the most direct route and this is what most cyclists are doing when people get annoyed by them.

Plenty of people are doing their commute as their training ride because it makes sense to do so, why should they have to drive their car half an hour and do an hour of cardio instead of their hour cycle commute, just so you can arrive a minute early come on.

Cologne has more than just Domplatte which is very full, although it is hard to find any that are not at least somewhat full just because the city already has 1M and there’s maybe up to 2/10 of that in visitors around that time as well. I’m of the opinion that none of these are worth it at night because it’s too crowded for me. On a weekday earlier than about 4pm they can be quite enjoyable.

• Domplatte : right next to the Dom and very full almost always, skip-able unless you need Dom specific merch
• Heumarkt - Alter Markt : Center of the old city often with quite cute stall design and ice skating on the Heumarkt this is where I’d go first because after the Dom it’s the first to get crowded. The stalls are good and the location is nice so I’d say take a peek.
• Schokoladenmuseum: Quite nice and on the water has the ferris wheel typically, not that coordinated but still nice. And not that central so a bit more bearable in terms of crowds.
• Neumarkt and Rudolfplatz: I end up hushing through these mostly Can be nice but they are both smaller and more geared towards food

There is at least another 5 in the city I’ve never been to

Burnout my friend.

Random, freezing the conflict should be kinda obvious in meaning, 2099 and letting the Chinese sort it out is a reference to the actual hand over of Hong Kong from the British to the Chinese

Simple build a freezer over the entire area and let the Chinese decide in 2099.

I’m a mio mio cola junge but vita and afri are both also better than coke.

For just the old website aesthetics I recommend Japanese websites, I looked at the website of UTAU and laughed out loud just because of the nostalgic feel, as well as me not knowing Japanese and thus the site being sorta indecipherable.

Dinner is like 90+% homecooking 10% Döner. Other than that it’s bread and other cold stuff straight from the supermarket.

The budget option is probably an entry level and used android phone without a sim.

The piracy mega thread.

Yep I switched from quertz to this because the symbols used in coding are Ansi QWERTY derived. Can still write German and get brackets on layer 0 best of both worlds.

I’m pretty sure most of this is is loosely from “Half earth socialism”, which might not consider us already in post scarcity, but is at least sympathetic to the position while trying to approach the arguably more important factors,- climate change and biodiversity decline- through such a lens.

Examining how our lives could be lived, in accordance with the natural world systems, with a socialist organization of the world economy.

It’s pretty readable as far as these books go, I think it might even be the first explicitly socialist book I read /listened to.

On calories housing and most everyday things we are post scarcity if we ignore distribution. In fact we over commission and under deliver all these things. We over produce food by a factor of around 1.5, housing is much less transferable but even there we’re unbelievably wastefull, energy is basically the only thing that isn’t outright overproduced but really only because when we have cheap energy we just tend to use it, often to produce more stuff.

So imo we are by bookkeeping standards post scarcity, delivery/distribution is just fucked and partially because of that we are creating tons of waste.

We could all live in comfort and those who want to could work less, and none of this would break. The real world economy(things, energy, housing , food, water, logistics capabilities…) is so large and secure it could support the world population. If not for the barriers and assumptions, the intrinsic I’ve got mine fuck you of the systems.

For me that is being there, and I hope that even if you can’t agree on that point, it at least illustrates that we are incredibly close to post scarcity.

Recently my stepsister replied to my half joking complaint about not getting within a second of the lap record at the kart track, that maybe this complaint explains some of the issues I’m having.

Upon rolling the thought around in my head a ton since then yeah that tracks, the question now becomes how to not aim high, and or not be disappointed by missing high aims. And why this is my Modus operandi to begin with, to aim high, not try all that hard and expect to succeed.

Yes I have never learned to type and left shift isn’t getting any use.

Subjectively should I learn how to type ? I do like 60 wpm currently without training and use probably 7/10 fingers.

KPMG, Deloitte and Mc Kinsey, for reasons that include at times being both financial auditor and bookkeeping at the same time, and consultancy meaning reducing headcount no matter the cost.

I don’t really know all that much about it honestly but all I’ve heard of them, is that they get the smartest people to do the worst thing that they can get away with.
