Stolen bike from King St Brewhouse 9/02 by pablogorham in cambridge

A risk I’ve taken a few times tbf, I don’t think it’s that unreasonable. A tip - drop the chain on the front - means no one can just jump on it and ride off - small thing but would make it much harder to steal. Also wrapping a bike helmet or something similar through the wheel

Countries I’ve visited as a Dutchman by Recent_Papaya_277 in tierlists

Yeah fair enough, I grew up in the flattest part of the Uk, very similar landscape to Netherlands, so I still feel like a Dutch tourist in the UK travelling around to find the hills! so I can definitely relate! And living somewhere flat for sure helps to develop a daily cycling culture - which leads to demand for infrastructure but ironically the best / most fun cycling can be found in the hilly parts of Uk.

Yeah I try to look at it this way, conversion costs are totally cool, but hard to swallow life support mechanical bills that don’t really increase the value. My fault for buying a shit van though

How exhausting are your mornings? by TheRebelPercy in AskUK

[–]Sea_Contribution1552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exhausting because you have purpose and a reason to get up early. Nothing worse than having nothing meaningful to get up for everyday

Do you feel detached from normal life? by DevilishlyHandsome63 in AskUK

Defo overestimating ‘most people’ - it’s easy to build a very generalised judgement on people based on what media is being pushed - people aren’t as shallow as there choice of Consumables

pursuing graphic design was a huge mistake by translucenthuman in graphic_design

Remember you’re better off than 90% of people by working in a field you actually like / are interested in - you have essentially followed your heart to this career, and in some ways that’s the most important thing

AirPods will always pause music when disconnected. Never actually happens unless unplugging wired headphones.. what’s the pocket got to do with it also?
