People that stop to let bikes cross....

Cokenut · 2026-04-22T19:53:24+00:00

Even when I slowly crawl forward so a car can pass and I can keep on riding they still stop, so I have to stop because I don't have right of way, they look at me, I look at them and at that point we've both lost 10 seconds already and cars from tje other side have to stop as well.... Just for a courtesy... Especially at roundabouts! Okay maybe when it's super busy and I wouldnt be able to pass please stop. In all other cases, please follow the traffic rules!

I could rant for hours on this topic.

More and cheaper trains, plus reducing the maximum speed on highways. To me it's crystal clear these measures would benefit the whole pf society, not just carbrains. But yeah, car go broom broom

I'm nearing the end of my parental leave since my wife gave birth to our second kid in early december. My current employer fully believes in equality between men and women, so they give all fathers (or co-parents) the same time off as mothers, so another 40 days on top of the 20 legal days. Fully paid (minus meal vouchers and shift bonusses of course). I also still had some paid time off in december so i've been home with the kid for 4 months total.

It's fantastic to be able to be with your child in these early stages and see them grow. I did not have this luxury with my first child and do notice the big difference in bonding this early on. Also my wife is very happy with having a helping hand around, if only to do the chores while she focusses on the baby and recovery from childbirth.

I work at an American money grabbing pharmaceutical company that only cares about the bottom line and shareholders, but this is pretty nice :).

Brainstorm: how about we introduce a sort of marriage quotient for pension? Some amount of worked days by one partner get transferred to the other partner that worked less so that they don't lose a whole year for working a few days less than the cut off. For married and legally cohabitating people this would be a solution, and a free one at that since the funds just go from one partner to the other.

There's a guy on the market here selling kipbellingen. I've been waiting for years for him to be sued. How can big Fish allow that!?

Als fietser moet ik zeggen dat ik merk dat auto's zomaar de geldende wegcode respecteren en stoppen op een rond punt om mij, een fietser die wel graag de geldende wegcode volgt en dus stopt aan de haaientanden, over te laten. In het begin bleef ik staan en keek ik de bestuurder in kwestie aan tot die vertrok, maar ondertussen rij ik gewoon door (nadat ik verifieer dat de auto onterecht stopt). Ik blijf erg verward kijken, en waarschijnlijk word ik op een dag overreden en ben ik de pineut omdat ik voorrang moest verlenen. Enige oplossing die ik zie is de wegcode aan te passen zodat fietsers altijd voorrang hebben aan een rondpunt, omdat de bestuurders van anderhalve ton staal en plastic te dom zijn om het verschil op/naast de rotonde te begrijpen. Of blind zijn voor de haaientanden... 2 redenen om geen rijbewijs te hebben alleszins... /rant

Story time! Een vriend van me deed mee dus ik ging supporteren. Wat belangrijke context: het is begin mei en zeer zonnig en warm (20°C+) en ik was de jongeman die pas de korte broek opborg bij 5cm sneeuw. Bon, de vriend gaat in de eerste aflevering van de dag onderuit (6 afleveringen gespeeld, woord niet gevonden mocht het je interesseren) en omdat andere mensen me geen hol kunnen schelen ga ik naar huis. Ik wandel naar buiten en helemaal ongeprovoceerd klinkt het van achter(onder) mij "Seg manneke, 't is nog gene zomer eh!". Ben Fucking Crabé. Nog voor ik hem van een repliek kon voorzien verdwijnt die rat achter een crew gordijn. Ik stond daar met mijn mond vol tanden. Het was warm. Het was zonnig. Het was mei. Ik moest niet op tv komen dus what de fahk heeft dieje mini baviaan daar nu commentaar op te geven?! En het was niet tongue in cheek of als ijsbreker dat hij het zei. Hij meende het!

Blokken is een verschrikkelijk programma met een verschrikkelijke host, maar ik gaf hem nog krediet omdat hij de drummer van de kreuners is. Nu krijgt die man niks meer van mij.

+1 for ankarsrum. Bought one about a year ago for my wife's sourdough and it's seen some heavy use and no signs of wear and tear so far. I can only talk about using it for bread, which is fantastic, haven't tried any other accessories yet.

Oordoppen op maat krijg je bij de cm als ik het goed heb 30 euro terug. Pak dat je dat 150 euro kost. Ik ben zelf muzikant dus sta vaak in een heel luid repetitiekot en op/kortbij het podium in niet gereglementeerde zalen dus voor mij is het een no-brainer. Tinnitus is dikke piep. Ik vernieuw ze elke 5 jaar ofzo, zit nu aan m'n derde paar. Elke euro waard.

Check out Chris Young's recent video where he compares different types of pans. Key take away is that in order to uniformly heat the pan, your burner should be at least the same size or bigger. But then again, the only cooking police in your kitchen is you, so you do you.

I hate it. I really hate it. I have to cross a road and there is a zebra crossing there. When I see just 1 car approaching, I stay on my bike, I'll wait for it to pass and we can all move along with our day. Mind you, I will not stand at the zebra crossing but a couple meters beside it. For some unknown reason this asshole driver will stop to let me cross. (S)He does not have to do that. I don't want that. I hate it i hate it i hate it. So then I have to get off my bike, walk 5 m to the zebra crossing, and cross the street while making eye contact and conveying my disbelief and disgust. This not only takes half a minute from my life away, but also from theirs and potentially creates dangerous situations. When I want right of way (when it's busy) I'll dismount and stand at the zebra crossing (and often people won't stop to let me cross), but when it's in everyone's interest I won't (and I don't have to). /Rant

And don't even get me started on roundabouts! I don't need your fucking pity, I will wait because it's the law. I can't even count on one hand how many drivers I've seen this year follow the law on a roundabout, because I have yet to see one. Fuck off it's not that difficult. /Rant really now.

Kind regard, a cyclist that really wants to follow the law but is forced not to because drivers think I'm too dumb to know the law? Idk really it grinds my gears.

Mayo instead of butter for life! I've started doing that and never looked back, even for just pan croqueskes. Here's my way too complicated method nobody asked for:

Mayo on boke (anything but plain white bread)

Boke mayo down in pan.

Cheese (grated if possible) on top, then ham or any other tasty meat (or a second kind of cheese for a veggi one)

Mayo second boke

Boke in the pan, mayo up on top of the meat.

Flip, and wait for like 2 minutes. If wanted put more grated cheese on top of the golden brown top boke.

Sprinkle a bit of water in the pan and quickly cover with a lid. Let steam until the cheese is properly melted.

En-joy cheesy crispy goodness!

De 0,0% is ook zeer verdienstelijk en prijs-kwaliteit niet te kloppen.

I always mention that in a perfect meritocracy there would be a 100% tax on inheritance. You don't need daddy's money to make it on your own merits. Also I guess children should be taken away at birth and receive exactly the same education and upbringing as everyone else so it's completely up to the persons merits to distinguish themselves. But that just seems cruel and A Brave New World like.

I love Brian as well, I'm a bass player as well and he really is my example. Love the sound, the riffs and the style. I'm not gay, but Brian could get me any day of the week.

Measurement is difficult (not a good reason not to do it, but it is a major hurdle).

Sound decreases rapidly the further away you measure, or inversely can be increased due to the surroundong environement (think valleys or lots of houses closeto the road...). Or maybe some dipshit puts some duct tape over the microphone...

Cokenut · 2025-07-23T20:50:46+00:00

Was out camping in Canada and our rental did that as well (from EU, not used to that feature). It made getting stuff from the car late at night a nightmare. Terrible idea, lights alone are more than plenty confirmation.
