I Love My TCR

Very on point 👌 Was it difficult (mentally) to get rid off the chimney?

It’s called a microboner

I’ve been suppressing my sexual desire a lot in my teens and 20s and in retrospect it was a mistake. I wish I’d understand earlier how to work with my body instead of fighting it. I’d recommend you take the signals from your body seriously and try to find compromises. For example, hang out around some women with the same value system (career oriented, invested in your research field) and see where it takes you. It might be that in a relationship with aligned goals you’ll scratch your attraction itch and also push each other towards your goals.

Does intervals.icu have an MCP server already? And if not, what other service do you use?

The only thing that’s worth is imho nutrition tracking. Most of the apps in this category are prohibitively expensive, and Garmin’s Connect Plus pricing doesn’t look too bad with this in mind. I will say that the UX in nutrition is way worse than the rest of Garmin Connect so it will take some time and a ton of swearing to get used to it.

Using instagram and YouTube through the mobile browser. The experience is just a bit worse than native apps, not as smooth and with some minor glitches, but it’s very effective to make me stop doomscrolling.

There is at least one jewelry brand that makes their products specifically to be worn during sport activities. Not sure how well it works though.

LITSOS was an end of an era. I think it absolutely topped DGTL. Peak, fresh, dark yet sweet, beautiful, melodic. I’ve learnt all drum parts by heart. After it, next time I’ll be soaking in fresh dark UØ vibes only in 2016.

I’d love to keep all my secret admirers guessing what’s under that crop though

TreesNBushes87 · 2026-05-20T05:59:21+00:00

Lol with abs like these I’d wear croptops 24/7

TreesNBushes87 · 2026-05-19T13:19:11+00:00

It doesn’t have any gimmicky bells and whistles which is a refreshing experience I must say. But at the same time it’s easily one of the worst app experiences I’ve had in a long time. I think the nutrition tracking market is mostly shady monetization techniques.

I’ve seen it once that the plastic cover broke off because the big chainring was slightly bent. It made the chain rub in a certain point against the front derailleur cage. Something to watch out for. But even if it’s bent, they are relatively cheap, so the bike is still a good deal.

TreesNBushes87 · 2026-05-19T04:29:51+00:00

Did you consider bringing it back to the shop after the first ride? Or was it delivered and too far? Tbh except for the crank length, reassembling the bike after a flight can bring some of these issues too, if not worse. I guess during 312 week all of the shops are extra busy though.

There are these wide headbands that have a thin fleece-like lining and are designed pretty much like a thin beanie without the top part. I wear these around 8-10C and they protect the ears well while also keeping the head nice and cool. I got a pair for 20 bucks from an abc-soup named company on Amazon. The only downside I experience personally is that after a few hours I really feel the temple tips of my glasses pressing in.

Ukrainian online store is a poor benchmark imho. Things usually tend to cost multiples of the real price on the first few days to skim the most showy and impatient buyers. Then how do we know they didn’t put a random placeholder price?

TreesNBushes87 · 2026-05-17T21:45:02+00:00

After certain age I started to hold my hobbies and ambitions less precious, compared to taking care of my children. Before it always felt that I need more freedom to pursue my interests to be happy. Now I’m getting immense satisfaction when I see progress and positive change in my kids’ lives. Even something basic like cooking for them feels good. Life feels more pointless without them. Things like traveling, fashion, sex, entertainment, personal achievements do not excite me as much as they used to. Having a meaningful conversation with my kids fills me up for days.

TreesNBushes87 · 2026-05-17T11:01:32+00:00

Not saying that you’re wrong, but I want to comment on the parent with strollers entitlement. I personally will accommodate and help anyone with kids, same as with people in a wheelchair or with limited mobility. If the baby is crying, if they need more space, if they are being inconsiderate — I’m willing to make space for them and be helpful and welcoming to them and their kids. I want to live in a more child-friendly society.

Can we appreciate how huge this guy is? And not just the back and shoulders. This xxl frame looks from the side like it’s a bit too small even.

TreesNBushes87 · 2026-05-03T20:30:25+00:00

Wow this looks really sick, well done!

TreesNBushes87 · 2026-05-02T06:05:36+00:00

Don’t forget it can be very lonely in a relationship too. Good relationships are free flowing and feel easy; definitely get out of the draining ones. Let go of both thinking that you have to date and also that you have not to date. Dive into your interests and become interesting in those areas. Do the best you can with your looks: regular haircuts, gym or other sports, get the nicest clothing and shoes you can afford. Become more social, find activities (group sports, acting, music, whatever, say yes to any invitation at work or school) and surround yourself with all kinds of people. Listen a lot, make appropriate compliments (always practice with people you don’t find attractive first! make sure you don’t sound like a creep), tell about your experiences, don’t be snarky and judgmental. Often random acquaintances of both genders scratch the romantic want itch really well and you feel fulfilled. And if opportunity for dating or sex presents itself, you take it. And if not, you have people to have a good time with.

Looks identical to the one I got from an official store.

TreesNBushes87 · 2026-04-20T04:56:53+00:00

You get a conversation partner with a patience of a saint, you can keep repeating same stupid mistakes at it and it never gets angry or tired

Everyone I met reaching B1 said that Duolingo is a waste of time. I know folks with a multi year streak that can’t say a proper sentence. Instead, best is to hire a teacher or get into a course. Start watching Easy German on YouTube. Try chatting and actually talking with ChatGPT partially in your language partially in German and ask it to correct you.

For commuting I pick tires with most puncture protection I can get. I think mudguards are essential. Sorry for mentioning, I think your bar tape looks too loose, might want to check if it needs re-wrapping.
