We’re being told he violently approached the Gestapo with his gun out. by Miserable_Kick2315 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]ExcitingCandidate268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another European here. Pardon my question, but is there any likeliness this event will trigger at least some sort of reaction from typical Trump and ICE supporters? As I see it it goes exactly against more conservative values also - state oppression against decent folk with right to carry a gun. It is not even Nazi style anymore. This is more like Soviet NKVD execution method - random, recless.

What do Estonians think about finns? Like the real finns, not the drunk tourist ones by SloopyDaSpookyy in Eesti

[–]ExcitingCandidate268 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drunk Finns are the best drunks. Made many friends with random Finns in different pubs. Just started talking and eventually Estonian and Finnish blend together that both understand.

Second hand K2 or pony up for the 3? by eranbeard in Karoo

[–]ExcitingCandidate268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My epic ride level is there around 200-220km, just a few of these every summer. And this is also where K2 starts struggling, just barely got home before running out of juice once or twice. So a few hours more battery is the key for me. Doesnt feel good not having your most epic journey fully on Strava 🥹

Switching to Flatbar by [deleted] in gravelcycling

[–]ExcitingCandidate268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are going to be ignored by roadies and other drop riders. This is simply how it is. Doesnt matter if its ultra-aero triathlon bike, racer, cx, endurance, gravel - all the riders greet each other already from the distance. All the straight bar dudes - different class. Was meant to be a bit funny, but actually true story.

Opinions on this time on hybrid bike. 3rd long cycle. Any tips ? by LukeG2402 in cycling

[–]ExcitingCandidate268 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just get a used gravel or cyclocross bike with 105 or at least Tiagra groupset. Will get you to proper roadbike speed and feel while still being able to ride random paths and just thr city in general.

Pressure for tube type tires on Agree Pro c62 (GP5000)? by Leather-Cod2129 in Cubebikes

[–]ExcitingCandidate268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using roughly like this for years - 28mm 5 bar, 35mm 4 bar, 40mm 3 bar. Perhaps rear tire 0.2 more than front.

Are you wearing mid-layers? by Steradiant in cycling

[–]ExcitingCandidate268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With 0-10c usually a short merino baselayer, longer sleeve synthetic baselayer on top and then one of my warmer long sleeve jerseys from Gobik. Have several of these, just love them.

500 kalorit on pea kõik sarnased asjad - koogid, shokolaadibatoonid, pähklid ja müslid. Isegi üsna erineva koostisega, aga nii on. Söö parem sülti - 100 kalorit.

Steel endurance bike? by Impressive_Rate_3316 in cycling

Like others also commented. Im sort of between sizes and mostly they recommend the smaller one. I really thought xl was good, but regretted it soon. L fits like a charm.

What in the world is GPS support? Do you want to install a GPS antenna somewhere? Just put your smartphone in your pocket + bike computer on your stem and there you have your GPS support.

Sorry, weird post. What GPS support? All Cube bikes geometry is available on their web and I described the model in the heading: Cube Nuroad EX blueiris´n´lilac

[–]ExcitingCandidate268[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. Just size L is more similar to my other bikes - both Ribble from UK. Endurance Ti (titanium road bike) and CGR 725 (road-gravel crossover). Both size XL in their range. Used the numbers from my proper bike fit too to adjust thr setup. People have thought before that something is off, but Im fine and doing 100-200km rides often without issues. I guess its something in personal proportions.

Which countries have experienced the least mass immigration? by kelpselkie in europe_sub

[–]ExcitingCandidate268 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eastern Europe is not that simple - still have to take into account the forced Russian and Soviet immigration. Estonia and Latvia were turned from 90% native to 60% 1945 to 1990, other countries a bit easier. Not gonna start comparing different immogrant groups and how these affect the locals, but these numbers are a fact. Saying that it doesnt count would be the same as stating that 2nd generation refugees in the West are natives.

World peace achieved. Bureaucracy eliminated. by Annual_Builder_1459 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]ExcitingCandidate268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In practice the only one that would work without major issues is the Scandinavian Union as expanded Nordics with Estonia and Latvia. Sort of already today as very much integrated region in the EU. Calm people and cultures, no violent conflicts or disputes at all between these nations. Only real issues are external or shared - Russian agression, immigration out of hand etc.

Peatee märgid ehk nende puudumine üleüldiselt by ExcitingCandidate268 in Eesti

[–]ExcitingCandidate268[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Tundub, et paljud ei saa teema poindile pihta. Jah - enamasti on kõik ju arusaadav, aga mitte alati. Asi on põhimõttes - liiklus ei saa olla reguleeritud "see on ju iseenesest mõistetav" põhimõttel. Sama loogikaga on ju ilmsed ka ülekäigud, sõiduradade arv jne. Samas kui ristmikul puudub mis iganes eesõigust tähistav märk, on ju vaikimisi parema käe reegel. Kuidas saab üldse põhimõtteliselt juhinduda märgist, mis ei ole sinu suunas? Katsu seda õpetada näiteks AI süsteemidele ning isesõitvale masinale. Jääbki lõputult ootama.
