If you account for check in/boarding times at the airport times are not so different either. However, one datapoint does not give a good overview of the situation and I found with most of my travel plans trains were more expensive than planes for the same routes within europe.

Agreed! I’m finishing my one-and-only phd at the moment (hopefully) and feel completely done with academics.

How is that possible?? And why would anyone do two phds? I thought that was just a hollywood trope.

It might help to mention what type of tv you have.

You don’t have to be perfect in a boycott. Avoid what you can, not what you can’t.

I’m just happy that this semi-true fact led me to learn a whole lot about the nahuatl and their history!

I’ve heard from a local that they are constantly having to transport the bikes uphill again because nobody takes them that direction. Still better than cars, but not ideal.

There were some older people at my university and they always sadly had a lot of trouble making friends and fitting in. Be glad your son is a good guy who doesnt judge people by their age.

I grew up with a doctor that believed in alternative medicine and a mom afraid of using medicine except when absolutely necessary. I was also perpetually dealing with colds and headaches. Now I take cold medicine when a cold starts and a painkiller to sleep well during the cold and they last about a quarter if the time.

MITOCHONDRIA ARE THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL!!!

The person giving out the papers would be the dishonest one in this case. He could grab papers for himself or hand out more than one to a friend.

I didn’t know that, thanks! Guess my whole-grain bread with cottage cheese snack still works 💪

They don’t advice to eat only bread, just to reduce other foods while eating 6 slices if bread. If bread is whole grain and no added sugars, it’s actually a pretty good source for protein, which is what you want to eat a lot of while dieting to maintain muscle mass.

If you have a power meter you can try out zwift or rouvy. You can see yourself riding specific routes on screen and they have workout programs that prompt change of intensity. Otherwise I think GCN has some follow along youtube videos, and there might be others as well.

We found an apartment in our dream location! Moving from a big flat city with boring surroundings to a small town in the mountains. Our apartment has a view of an orchard and vegetable garden and our dog can run around in a shared garden. We go up in size and down in price as well, even though there is a train connection of only 20 minutes to a big town. Moving there next week and I’m sooo excited. We are both procrastinators and managed to find the apartment and sign the contract two weeks before moving date… phew.

I am dutch and I have never heard of this issue/myth. Even tour de grance cyclists manage to have kids just fine after 20 years of full time cycling, so I wouldn’t worry.

Almost downvoted this post through pure instinctive disgust

Iceland?

Finally sunny and dry enough to go for a nice long bike ride. Afterwards probably playing Factorio for the rest of the evening/night/morning.

Sounds bad for the environment
