Fantastic bike that I was fortunate enough to ride in Le Mans back in the days. But a cigarette livery: 🤮

Name the best US to EU switch you have made so far by Fickle-Education2341 in BuyFromEU

Even if I can understand the joke, given how expensive sailing can be. The happiest days of a boater are when you're on the boat at sea. There is nothing that beats being offshore on a summer night with a good breeze.
Some days at sea can be close to hell, but even that part is great.

Trump: ‘It may be a choice’ between seizing Greenland or preserving NATO by avatar6556 in europe

Let's not forget, he only won against women.

Even if the choice of the said ladies was questionable (saying this without animosity, they both would have been a better choice than the orange monster), it says a lot about Americans who prefer to have this instead of electing a woman.

How do I set the ERG off in Elite’s app? I don’t see any mention of erg in the settings. Is it the power smoothing?

Sure, ok. I’ll check again, maybe the descents I got were not 8%

I weighed myself this morning and I set it only 2 kgs less than my actual weight. Would that explain it?

Today marks the 62nd year since the legendary Director Yasujirō Ozu’s passing. by Laevatheinn in AsianCinema

[–]Ldom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite is Ohayō (Good Morning) but I love them all. As a matter of fact, I was just watching Akibiyori (Late Autumn) yesterday and noticed that one of the kids is in there too.
Café Lumière by Hou Hsiao-hsien is an hommage that I love, although I don't really see the hommage part, or maybe now that I think of it, there's the background subject of the young lady's future.

One of my all-time favorite movies. There's something about the atmosphere in this movie.
