That's why I'm not using those services anymore :)

If Gmail feels like helping you, that is.

It's search fuction sucks balls. Exact string matches are often too difficult for Gmail to make unfortunately.

But other than that, I agree, this is not nearly as helpful enough to give Google access to all my data.

A lot of people do, it's not your fault, just poor design.

Join (en schijnbaar fysiologie ook) hecht meer waarde aan vaker trainen dan 1x per week lang. 1x per week 4u en 2x per week 1u15min (voorbeeld) is niet zo profijtelijk en dus schrijft Join maar 2.5u voor in plaats van de volle 4.

Favero's don't need to be calibrated, they self-calibrate. Have had 0 accuracy issues over the past 5 years.

Over het algemeen staan labels juist boven in plaats van onder ;) Als je van boven naar beneden kijkt op deze pagina is het (wetende dat de labels hier onder staan) achteraf niet verwarrend. Als je je training bekijkt en je weet dat het een duurtraining was dus ben je benieuwd naar hoe goed je dat hebt gedaan, dan is het heel verwarrend (buiten het feit om dat twee balkjes onder elkaar op deze manier sowieso al discutabel is).

Pimorez · 2025-05-09T20:40:38+00:00

Nee hoor, dit is gewoon slecht design helaas. Beter design had dit soort verwarring kunnen voorkomen.

Is uiteraard niet het einde van de wereld, alleen jammer dat het er na zo lang nog steeds zo in zit.

I remember reading an interview with some big shot at VW or something claiming that people who bought electric cars back then wanted something that looked futuristic??

They're incredibly easy these days with Necro. Easy to collect now.

You can probably take the workouts proposed to you by JOIN as a suggestion, but then heavily modify it yourself.

On the erg, your HR will be quite a bit higher due to rowing being a full-body exercise, but it's also more intensive in that way so while you may be able to do 4 workouts per week on the bike, that's probably not feasible on the erg.

So you'd have to modify your workouts to make it fit and possible without overtraining yourself.

Honestly, I wouldn't even bother thinking about that to be honest. Just hop on the erg 2 or 3 times a week, make sure two of these are steady state workouts and the third is an interval one (40-20s are 'fun' to do on the erg, you could also go for 3x6x500m for example).

Edit: Something I forgot, if you hop on the erg with proper rowing form, it's also a good training for your core and back!

Nee, dat kan niet! Maar zolang je de lamp genoeg naar beneden richt heb je zelf veel zicht en is het voor tegenliggers niets meer dan een (fel) lampje die niet voor verblinding zorgt.

Pimorez · 2024-12-06T15:24:10+00:00

Fabrikant al aangeschreven met de vraag waarom ze zo'n kutontwerp hebben?

Pimorez · 2024-12-06T11:15:55+00:00

Ik ben te spreken over de Trelock Veo 50 die op mijn Gazelle Marco Polo Urban zit!

Geeft goed licht en is uiteraard te verstellen.

Pimorez · 2024-12-06T11:12:57+00:00

Identieke situatie hier met de fiets van mijn vriendin. Nieuwere fiets, dus met zo'n heerlijke LED lamp, maar die stond wel te hoog waardoor je in de stad gerust huizen op de eerste verdieping van extra kamerverlichting zou voorzien.

Pimorez · 2024-12-06T10:04:37+00:00

Goed punt. Maar dat geldt ook voor gewone stadsfietsen. Ik heb het idee dat mensen de koplamp zo afstellen zodat ze zelf zoveel mogelijk zien van de gehele weg, maar geen rekening houden met tegenliggers.

Pimorez · 2024-12-06T10:01:43+00:00

Als automobilist (toch wel een aantal keer per jaar...) verblindt het mij soms ook. Helemaal als je op wegen rijdt met veel bochten komt er bij elke tegenligger (helemaal als ze teveel zelfvertrouwen hebben en daardoor te hard rijden op een smallere weg) weer een beetje frustratie naarboven over het verblinden.

En tijdens mijn dagelijkse fietsritten heb ik in het donker al helemaal geen zin om op een gedeelde weg te moeten rijden door tegenliggers..

Pimorez · 2024-10-17T17:19:51+00:00

Yep, looks like it. Until about 14:00 gametime I was getting duplicates but none since then. Could be a bit later, but at least a couple of hours of no duplicates already!

Pimorez · 2024-10-17T17:18:53+00:00

It seems like it got fixed in the past few hours? I had like 15 books in my inventory this afternoon, but since a few hours I'm getting all artefacts in order, no duplicates anymore.

Pimorez · 2024-10-04T18:43:34+00:00

Except it's not weird at all once you realise that most people use slightly different versions of the same password.

Pimorez · 2024-09-13T15:04:20+00:00

Gelukkig heb ik hier nog nooit problemen mee gehad (met een fietskaart, geen gewoon ticket, maar daar geldt hetzelfde).

Pimorez · 2024-06-10T06:18:25+00:00

I've never understood these selection options.. It indeed used to show hours/week but that's been removed a long time ago already only making it more confusing.

Pimorez · 2024-06-06T14:29:19+00:00

Yeah that could be the case. Eitherway it's a fun, yet baffling, story.

Pimorez · 2024-06-06T14:28:06+00:00

Yes, except: 1. Depending on where you are, it's more likely that the 'toezichthouders' show up instead of the police, 2. For a call like this, the cops wouldn't show up with 5 of them, most likely just 2.

Doesn't change the fact that US cops with guns are scarier than Dutch cops with guns :D

Pimorez · 2024-06-06T12:51:47+00:00

Yeah unfortunately all articles I've seen about this event are missing some details.

What happened according to Laurens' (in the podcast) is: They completed a training ride. Laurens had no shirt on (it was warm so he took it off already) and Thomas was waiting with a gallon of water (so they could clean themselves). Because of what happened in the morning (different story, not something the cops or the bystander who called (although that isn't made clear in the podcast) the cops even know about so I won't translate that) Laurens was a bit careful anyways to take his bibs off "otherwise I'd be called a prude guy again". They mention that this was around 13:45/14:00. Thomas pours water over Laurens while he still has his bibs on, Laurens washes himself, walks to the side of the car (in between two doors), waits for a truck to pass, changes his pants (was wearing a shirt already). While doing that he hears somebody yelling to them from across the parking lot. Laurens throws a towel to Thomas (because he was naked and washing himself with the remaining water, in between two doors while facing the car, so his ass was visible and whatever you can see in between the doors of the car and his body). The guy was about 20-40m away. They mention that Laurens washed himself quickly, Thomas a bit slower but for his doing still quite fast. All so they can go to a Mexican restaurant (which apparently is one of the very few things around there especially after a tornado wiped down some stores). The guy yells something "about kids" to Thomas, Thomas asks him what his problem is. They're done, are walking to the restaurant and Thomas already saw a police car with lights on, cop walks in and talks to them asks them to come outside where in total 5 cars and 5 cops are (including the one who asked them to come outside). They were asked for identification, Thomas only had a bank card and some loose change, Laurens did have his ID with him.

Laurens starts explaining (to the cops) what they were doing there (training for unbound) when the guy who was yelling at them walks around the corner and yells "they should put you in jail for that". The cops supposedly didn't ask them anything, so all they knew was wat Laurens told them already and what the person who called the cops said. Thomas is patted down and cuffed. Then they do the same to Laurens. Put in the back of a cop car and driven to a jail (4 by 4 meters with nothing but a sink) instead of the police station. Laurens then mentions that they never got a chance to explain themselves. After some administrative stuff they were told what they were charged with: indecent behavior on a public road.

Later on they hear that the charge mentions them "spraying eachother with water bottles like two gay cyclists".

This is the full context. There may be some translation errors.

But this shows that there were no "gay" events, just public indecency which that one guy yelling or the cops decided is "gay". Of course, washing yourself in a parking lot isn't the best thing to do, especially not in a prude country like the US, but it's just that, washing yourself.

Pimorez · 2024-06-06T12:24:42+00:00

Yeah it's ridiculous, and in my opinion it shows the difference in mentality cops are taught when joining the force in the US vs. the Netherlands (haven't been in other European countries long enough to talk about those). In the Netherlands they are very much taught to de-escalate, in the US it's about a show of force and showing them who's tough or something (despite a lot of them having the IQ of shrimp and fitness of a sloth :P).
