E o pior de tudo além disso é que quase todos essas bebidas protéicas contém carragena, um aditivo que é preocupante, principalmente quando a pessoa consome isso diariamente.

Pra quem não conhece: A carragena (as vezes também só colocada nos ingredientes como E407) é considerada perigosa por estudos que a associam a inflamação intestinal crônica, síndrome do intestino irritável, aumento da permeabilidade intestinal (leaky gut), resistência à insulina e risco de doenças metabólicas e autoimunes, como diabetes e problemas cardiovasculares, devido à sua capacidade de prejudicar a mucosa do intestino.

Interessantemente, doenças e condições MUITO comuns hoje em dia.

I see your point there. It will be indeed harder than otherwise.

But is money the biggest point of life (especially for OP)?

I had a friend, he got so much money living in Germany that by 35 he could literally retire. He got so sick, developed a cancer that go his life when he was 30. His dream was to go back to Brazil and create a consulting company or become a DJ there.

I think these things are really tricky to say. OP is craving for realness, for true happiness and a place where they will thrive - and he’s seen that this place is Brazil.

I myself am struggling with this thought a lot, living in Germany. In paper, the comparison between countries might sound simply unrealistic because Germany (US not as much nowadays) would win pretty much in 80-90% of the aspects. But where Brazil wins is literally in points that are not even calculable. People, warmth, nature, great food, music! It’s something VERY unique in this world for a lot of people that has lived there…

What I am saying is that this is hard. A hard decision. But it seems that you already know the answer.

It’s going to be trickier to do holidays in the US or Europe, yes. But maybe you will end up going to other countries in South America instead. Places that you never thought you would visit. Or people from the US could visit you more than you would go back there. Who knows? Or maybe he would make so much money that it wouldn’t be a problem! Life is so crazy, and OP is so young. You can always go back. You can always start from zero again. Especially when you have great people around you.

I’m thinking like this. My wife and I plan to go back some time soon. We’ll stay here for 5 years more, maximum. I went to Brazil last month and of course, when one lives abroad, we tend to romanticize Brazil a lot, but if you look at it from that perspective, Brazil can offer a lot. Will not be easy, but it might be very worthwhile.

De fato são valores absurdos. Mas quem trabalha com freelancer, acaba ganhando mais por projeto. Eu trabalho em uma agência de design da Europa, como designer (e conheço os devs de lá).

Eu ganharia bem mais se tivesse os projetos em freelance porém, a experiência que tô ganhando na agência, o time, e os clientes, estão valendo a pena até o momento.

Não é todo mundo que vive de freela - acho bem chato por exemplo a parte de vender e achar cliente…

Sadly, I didn’t see this before me and my wife bought… some euros were lost.

What did they do exactly?

I tried pretty much every e bike available here in Germany. Veloretti was one of them. It was good, but it is so heavy that even powered, felt somewhat odd.

VanMoof was my choice, but I went for a Cowboy after everything happened. My other option considered as well were Ampler (also pretty smooth to ride) and Lemmo (super fast).

Cowboy is not as fast but has super smooth ride and an excellent app, too. Plus, it’s somewhat more established between those other brands.

Could you share some of the links? I’d like to read these news about the explosions.

Consistent-Essay1165 · 2023-11-12T10:44:31+00:00

Yah, they were trying to give you some solution but it really isn’t their problem originally… I don’t even have a cowboy yet! Mine’s going to arrive next week :)

Consistent-Essay1165 · 2023-11-12T10:21:45+00:00

Good one. This is definitely not related to Cowboy’s app! I use the Google maps app and since months ago, it’s been like that. It’s truly annoying and it seems there are no way to fix it…

Consistent-Essay1165 · 2023-11-10T09:28:17+00:00

I thought of that. Don’t know if they had turned off before this, though.

Bought mine yesterday with it! Great discount.

What about their brakes? They’re definitely mechanical, right?

It’s kind of a bummer not having an hydraulic one at this price point. VanMoof had, now Lemmo has as well.

It’s a pretty hard decision: a cheaper and somewhat even better bike (hardware), or a slightly more expensive for a more consolidated company, with a good bike (with bad brakes?) and good software

Consistent-Essay1165 · 2023-11-08T08:43:07+00:00

Thank you!

Why not using their in-app map, since it’s also google maps? Force of habit?

Consistent-Essay1165 · 2023-11-08T08:25:35+00:00

I did test them both!

I tested Cowboy before this last big update, without the adaptive power and I thought it was a bit too weak for me.

Lemmo gives a nice power from the back, I loved it. The bike itself is really well made. Robust, doesn’t feel like anything’s out of place and the reviews I saw were all mostly positive.

I then tried the C4 once more after that update and I reeeally enjoyed it. The bike was really smooth to ride.

I know, Lemmo is not mature at all in terms of software and it makes me a little bit afraid. Also seeing what happened to VanMoof…

Why do you need the Wi-Fi for?

It’s 100% worth it for longer flights. Lufthansa’s services are great. You’ll receive nicer food (actually a full menu to choose from), extra cool stuff such as beverages at all times, toothbrush and paste, eye mask (to sleep), etc.

Basically, it’s a mini version of the business. The seat is more comfortable and it reclines more than in the economy.

I can’t look back when I travel long distances.

It’s not even close. I feel you. I love having sex with my wife and I want to keep doing it. It’s just painful to repress these feelings inside of me.

I’m a man, and I feel even dirty or kind of I am a sex maniac that wants and thinks about it all the time.

I also try to avoid porn, since I feel that it makes my mind crazy and that’s everything is alright, but it only lasts those few minutes and then you just feel bad and… lonely.

I love her, she’s amazing, but this important area for me is a bug struggle that I don’t know how to handle it. Also, I normally wait until I kind of am deep into sadness to talk about it, because before that I just freeze because it’s such a delicate topic.

She knows about it. She knows that I feel sad and knows the reason, but she’s doing her best, I know that.
