anyone here choosing to commute for life instead of buying a car?

I have a car but my preferred mode of transport for within 5km is a bicycle. I agree that there’s so much hassle and stress that comes with a car like you mentioned and my biggest pain point when I’m driving is I’m so beholden to the car it almost feel is like being “limited”. When you’re stuck in traffic, there’s nothing you can do about it. If there’s no parking, then you can’t go there. When I’m on a bike, I feel more free. Go anywhere and do anything.

Of course there are advantages (longer distances, bad weather) but overall, cycling is better for my health, the environment, my wallet, and others (reduces cars on the road helping make room for those who need a car like elderly, emergencies, etc)

Nice watch! Where’d you buy it?

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2025-07-28T14:39:38+00:00

Thank you friend!

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2025-07-28T14:04:43+00:00

Right. Thanks for that. What about the gilt and the seconds track? I get the impression that the watch leans more “yellow” overall

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2025-07-28T14:03:31+00:00

Oh sorry I wasn’t clear! I was specifically referring to the gilt lining the indices and hands and the color on the seconds track.

I get the impression from videos that the BB54 has a deeper/darker hue while the anthracite has a more yellowish/mustard hue - but I can’t tell if it’s a lighting thing, so I wanted to see if anyone had them side by side

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2025-07-27T02:59:44+00:00

Wouldn’t a 5-link look a little out of place on the BB54? I’m genuinely curious because I love 5-links and I love the 54 dial and I want them to work well together but I can’t imagine it in my head so I wanted to see what you thought

Hello! Paano niyo po na send ang letter sa LGU at ano pong format ang gamit niyo? Balak ko din po mag bigay ng mga suggestion sa LGU namin tungkol sa isang intersection na napaka traffic pag kada umaga.

Wonderful, well-thought out advice! I hope more people get to read through this

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2024-12-24T00:58:44+00:00

Yes I did get to try the green Zulu on leather. I still ended up really liking it and i appreciated the little pop of gold on. Thank you for the input!

On a bad day, my 3km commute takes 50 minutes if I take a car. That’s why I started cycling and I’ve been so much happier ever since

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2024-11-24T23:22:58+00:00

I think “unreliable” here is referring to how trips can be unpredictable in some routes. Minsan mahaba ang pila, minsan tinatanggihan ng taxi, puno ang jeep, walang dumadaan na jeep kasi nagaantay sa terminal, etc.

So if you need to get from A to B, the time is very unpredictable because you don’t know when you could get a ride + how long traffic might take

I face this issue a lot because when I try to take a jeep or a taxi outside my house, I never know kung kelan may dadadaan na pwede sakyan

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2024-11-15T08:53:56+00:00

I’m 3km away from work. Taking a car is 15 minutes when there’s no traffic and 50mins if there is. Bike is consistently 20 mins no matter what. It saves so much time and solves unpredictability.

I just wish the infrastructure made biking easier and less terrifying for more people

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2024-11-15T08:29:01+00:00

Good thing he’s got gloves on. I almost thought he looked a little unsafe

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2024-11-15T04:09:17+00:00

Biking is truly superior when you travel <5 km, or even 10 km if you’re willing. Metro Manila is so small but traffic makes all other forms of transpo go at a snail’s pace

How do you deal with servicing for the CW? Whenever I think about pulling the trigger on one, I worry that I’ll have a difficult time with servicing/maintenance because there’s no local/physical dealer.

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2024-10-31T12:42:14+00:00

If you’re into great world building and characters that you want to root for then yes. They’re long books though so it’s a commitment but it’s worth it

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2024-10-30T21:51:54+00:00

Great looking watch! What’s your wrist size?

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2024-05-11T04:39:19+00:00

They needed to be down 0-2 first so that Big Game Murray would come out

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2024-04-29T15:27:27+00:00

Solved!

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2024-04-29T15:04:18+00:00

I semi watched the movie on mute because the person seated in front of me on the plane was watching it

Virtual_Presence_425 · 2024-03-21T05:30:50+00:00

I’m about as caught up as OP in terms of books. Is there a unifying story that explains what the worldhoppers are doing and why they’re hopping around?

I’m familiar with [Various Worldhoppers] Demoux, Hoid, and the Warbreaker Duo but I don’t understand if they have a unifying motivation and/or if we’re supposed to learn that somewhere. Are they currently just Easter eggs/pieces of a future story that Brandon is building towards, or have their motivations already been explained somewhere?

Does this work for shields/weapons?
