That’d probably mean leaving family behind, which not everyone is willing to do.

It’s not fool-proof by any means. All I’m saying is that you should prefer the option when available.

Steering another human by voice is a very bad interface. Prefer remote control when available.

Planes are safer.

Americans unironically believe stupid shit like this, hilarious

Not to shit on your perfectly reasonable parade, but in Germany there is high speed rail through the whole . takes about 6 hours from top to bottom.

Maybe not a great example there, with that running something like 100 km/h average speed.

If you bump those numbers up to be competitive with actually high-performing HSR operators, that trip would take 2-3 hours, immediately killing any competitive edge that air travel would have on those segments - 2-3 hours will basically get you to the airport and through security, you’ll have arrived already if you were on a well-performing train by then.

HSR is the best alternative for any trip up to approximately 800 km, at which point air travel starts beating it out. This is for daytime travel only - trains could be competitive for far longer distances with overnight sleeper service. I’d not be against taking night HSRs going between any points in Europe basically.

Alas, this would require non-shit politicians, which definitely does not exist

Completely incorrect - bad documentation can be actively harmful, wasting your time with its inaccuracies.

We have such a fee as well in Sweden, but piracy is still illegal and prosecuted.

He looks a bit like an evil Jason Slaughter (aka NotJustBikes)

I enjoyed it. Probably not the best movie ever made, but a solid two hours of decent entertainment

Stämmer gott och väl

Trocadero, a soda with orange and apple flavour from Sweden. They released a zero sugar version which is now called Trocazero.

Never. I do not have the ability to fall asleep during the day.

Generally speaking enough.

Exercise helps a lot.

Spring Boot, aka the “just one more annotation bro”-framework

I have not, but I generally eat out for lunch and don’t do the primary cooking at home, so it might be a while before I get a good chance to try.

In fact, the thing I cook the most is microwaved oatmeal, which I flavour with banana milkshake whey and some milk. Not a particularly culinarily sophisticated meal, but healthy and in the very least vegetarian.

I have no strict lines I draw, but generally I lean towards eating low amounts of beef and cold cuts, for both climate and health reasons.

My philosophy is broadly one of harm reduction, where I don’t necessarily cut anything fully out, but try to choose options that are better for my health and the environment when possible. This basically translates to leaning towards high-protein legume based alternatives as staples - the lunch I eat most frequently is falafel in pita with a variety of vegetables, sauces and hummus: all vegan and pretty respectable with regards to protein - and choosing chicken when I eat meat over other types of meat.

Maybe so, but pip is years behind package managers like cargo. It really is not particularly good.

I’m surprised to hear you say this because in all honesty, pip really sucks as far as package managers go. uv is a worthy replacement.

I wish, but an hour by bike wouldn’t even get me close to anywhere with a different language, not even another dialect.

According to Google Maps, it’d be 26 hours to get to the closest border by bicycle (500 km).

I’m kind of weak for the Checkered Deck. Easy flushes are a good time
