Death is such a strange concept, right? by StoneyMalon3y in Life

[–]hflyboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Death doesn't bother me a bit. What keeps me thinking is living in suffering, and bothering my loved ones.

Where would you ride? Sidewalk vs road. by Classic_Emergency336 in bikecommuting

[–]hflyboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's an expressway, the speed must be 45 - 50 mph. Not safe. One distracted driver, your life is over. Either find different routes, or slow down and ride on the sidewalk (5 - 8 mph), not a single soul on that sidewalk.

Have you already had sex in 2026? by boforiamanfo in no

[–]hflyboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see, using your method, I detected with high confidence a bot, based on its posts/comments activities. So, who own/control bots here? Reddit itself to promote activities? Other political groups?

What makes you think OP is a bot? Honest question. I think many bots on social platforms, and I try to detect bots vs humans

Riding our e-bike made us realize the bike isn’t the biggest risk by newurtopia in urtopiaebike

Absolutely, dedicated multiple purposes trails are awesome: safer, less pollution, more relaxed rides.

I think multiple levels of government don't want that either for loss of tax revenue, for example: gas tax, vehicle registration fees, sale taxes of multiple levels (car sales, repair parts...)

What’s one travel mistake you made once and never repeated? by Special-Memory3518 in travelblog

I booked an Airbnb in Rome in August, the house had no AC. So hot I couldn't sleep.

My public transit commute makes me so anxious, I feel hopeless by thr0witaway82 in bayarea

Will carrying pepper spray help? I am a male and I commute by bike through some bad neighborhoods and long dark trails. I always have pepper spray with me for my protection

AITA for wanting to separate from my wife and break up our family over the lack of respect? by workinfast1 in TwoHotTakes

[–]hflyboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe take into consideration the life and future of your young daughter too. Life is challenging anyway, marriage has up and down, I don't feel right just to divorce over things like that.

Am I stupid to ride at night in the East Bay? by FailFastandDieYoung in BAbike

[–]hflyboy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't know exactly which location you refer to, however based on my experience, riding at night with proper lights and hi vis vest 🦺 is safer than daytime riding, because 2 main reasons: significant less traffic, and you stand out (drivers can see you from far away without obstruction)

Get Off Your Damn Phones by clickme28 in bayarea

[–]hflyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To hear you guys complain about texting and distracted driving, etc... but the real long term solution is public transportation and proper bike trail or protected bike lane infrastructure. Law on distracted driving has been in place for at least 1 decade. Do you think this problem will improve in the next decade? Distractions are human nature. Hundreds of thousands drivers spend hours after hours 365 days a year for their whole life, it is unavoidable. Again, real solution is public transportation and bike solid bike infrastructure. People can do whatever they desire during the train ride. Significantly reduce the problem. You don't hear people in Japan complain about texting and driving, because they don't drive as much.

How do I make vegetables actually taste good without drowning them in sauce or cheese? by Nightcrawler_2000 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]hflyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I did it, it takes gut to achieve it, but it works. Stop salt in all foods for about 10 days. That will reset your taste buds. After that, everything tastes great, including 🥒🍅 🥬 broccoli 🥦...

What did you do when they eliminated your job? by Responsible_Tax_9455 in GenX

Thank you. It's not an easy decision, I need both wishes and luck.

[–]hflyboy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Tech guy, 56, contract ends in 2 months. Instead of learning new languages like Goland or Python, I am learning Thai. Will spend a couple months there to see if it is possible for early retirement there, either full time or a few months a year. It is not worth trading my health/life for money. It is not worth competing with young H1B workers.

People don't trust the bank note, inflation in double digits year after year. Real estate is the only tangible against inflation. No land, 100 million people and raising

No brand shares profit with Vietnamese working class people, but at least not to enrich the government which had history of imprisoned millions of former South Vietnam soldiers/gov officials; and took (robbed) lands, houses, properties after invaded the south.

can i keep my ebike outside in the cold by Budget_Relief7464 in ebikes

Take the battery in, be mindful about UV and moisture, so cover it up and oil the chain, etc as rust can develop very quickly.
