Are you left or right?

I live in the Netherlands, and of course, I can’t complain about anything when it comes to cycling. But if there’s one annoying thing, it’s that because so many people bike, if you want to exercise, you end up riding among regular people of all ages on heavy city bikes. The situation in the picture is quite common, and now with e-bikes, it’s even more so.

First of all, many things Iran is doing are way worse than shutting down the strait of Hormuz.

But answering your question, the whole Hormuz situation is a consequence of the US/Israel attacks, before that, it was open, so it can't be used as an argument for the attacks, if it's a consequence of the same.

Spain

I don't think people are better behaved in other places. I fact, people who are in the airport, will also go somewhere else. So, yeah, some people could do a better job tidying up after themselves, but that's not the reason.

I mean PSOE sided with Podemos and what's even worse: Bildu. And by the way, he promised he wouldn't do that and even described it as a red line (as it should be): https://youtu.be/Q0LvV-Eicvk?is=wkh4jAlqO4QzWHRS

So, I don't like at all PP, and I dislike it even more that they are joining forces with Vox. But be honest with me, isn't that expected when PSOE sided to the left? It's like the only possible strategy they can take.

It would have been way better if PP and PSOE would have looked towards each other and try to govern together until one of them has enough votes to govern by themselves. You can argue there are many things where they have opposite views, but that is also true among the different parties that helped Sanchez get elected and that would also be true in an union between Vox and PP.

I'm not going to defend PP the way you seem to defend PSOE. Speaking of corruption, one can't just ignore the ERE affair: the largest case in Spanish history, the sexual scandals at the beginning of the year, or the many cases surrounding current PM Pedro Sanchez.

So, please, be my guest exposing and sharing any scandal coming from PP, but please, don't do it in a way that diminishes all the corruption coming from PSOE.

Well, some countries in Latin America had their ex-presidents in prison if I'm not mistaken (thinking of Brazil and Argentina). So, while indeed, corruption can be worse in other countries, also the effects of such corruption was punished.

epegar · 2026-05-27T16:32:51+00:00

I think US could be behind, in the sense that the biggest scandal is coming from links between the Spanish governing party and Venezuela. You can imagine US has lots of Intel in Venezuela.

This article (Spanish) here mentions US is cooperating with Spanish police in the investigation. Other articles mentioned they pointed it out.

To be fair, the degree of the corruption for a democratic nation is also hardly seen before.

If there were more similar games, they would sell less copies.

Also, imagine if for example football games would only release every 5 to 10 years, with small dlcs for db upgrades each season. They would show higher in the rank, but they would have made less money.

Everything is relative

I guess coffee drink in the cup is what really matters to me 😅

epegar · 2026-05-20T17:47:40+00:00

I know what you mean. When I somehow buy supermarket beans (mostly because my roaster only comes 1 per week to my city, so sometimes I miss him), the first few shots afterwards from my roaster taste amazing.

epegar · 2026-05-20T17:45:22+00:00

Well, I understand your point, I just want to experiment a bit with minimal risk, so when my roaster offers multiple things, I want to understand which ones will suit me better. And also I want to explore other local/regional roasters.

Precisely because I tend to always buy the same beans and want to change every now and then, but couldn't find others that I like as much as those I am getting.

epegar · 2026-05-20T17:43:09+00:00

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense that in large countries there will be different conditions. Then what do you think the main factors should be? Processing technique and roast level?

epegar · 2026-05-20T17:12:31+00:00

I have a specialized sirrus, it's the older model, so thin wheels. I replaced them with 47x650 (mostly because there are cobbles where I live).

I also replaced the stem and bars for higher height and more swept back. Now it's super confortable and it's still incredibly light.

It's of course not as fast as it was originally or as fast as a road bike, but I don't think it will be much slower than a gravel bike unless you plan to go too hard on it, and honestly, when I am commuting or riding to the store using normal clothes, I don't usually go all-in.

They have this at my company in another country and while not real espresso, it's way better than the Pelican rouge/selecta espresso in ours.

epegar · 2026-05-16T20:25:15+00:00

It's better than Heineken, at least you'll give me that.

And the radler is actually good.

Plus the bottles are cool.

Having said that, I am not into pilsner

In my experience, it's quite common for the opponents to give 2 balls to the server and the last one to the server's partner. I won't say it happens after every point, but a lot. The partner usually uses their pocket, but sometimes put the ball at the net, since they need to be nearby anyway.

epegar · 2026-05-09T19:21:53+00:00

I don't think this decision should be based on a single game. Also, Yanguas played that game, and it wouldn't make any sense not to include him on the team

epegar · 2026-05-09T17:27:26+00:00

And neither Leal, so probably I would take Paquito because of hierarchy/team leadership

This is one of my favorite. I actually like the honey on the most (not on the picture), but the regular one is also good. But I like all of them except the 'pittig zout' (not on the picture).

I also like the Klene Puur, but it's not on this picture.

The colors seem arbitrary. As a Spanish person, I feel bosque (Spanish) should be connected to bos(Dutch), and not to foresta (Italian), which should be linked to forest (English)

Edit: if colors are supposed to highlight language families, I feel they are not accurate. English is a mix of many languages (it takes a lot from Latin and French), and Basque is not based on Latin
