  • I do agree and I did got my own bike for free from trash pile through her connections to local biking community.

    But she is making full use of the specialized equipment and bikes so i will not fault her for doing it.

  • I do agree, but in her defense she is making full use of it and over time has progressed from the basic commuter to more advanced bikes which have had significant increase to speed and enjoyability/comfort of the ride. Up until now she has already rode 5k km just this year, planning to finish this year with 10k km.

    For everyone else I do agree and have a basic commuter that I literally got from a trash pile through her connections to local biking community.

  • What country do you live in and where would you choose to live if you could?

  • Estonia, still would live here if I'd have a choice.

    I'm already used to living here, built my life up here and there isn't a serious enough reason to leave, for now.

  • good idea, no downsides

  • Maintenance is probably the first thing that comes to mind and custom bracket that allows maintenance is just over engineering a simple solution like a hole or just leaving it standing in the same place where the bracket was supposed to be.

    Washing machines are already designed to minimize all the movement it causes. It just isn't worth the effort to do anything else to it.

  • My wife likes to ride a bike, a lot. The more you get into it, the more expensive it gets. No those bikes and accessories aren't cheap. That thing getting stolen is a serious hit.

    Simple general store ones are cheap, dedicated sports store ones are far from cheap.

    Bicycles are great force multipliers, but legs are true symbol of freedom of movement. More versatile, almost everyone already have those, already using those is the maintenance required to maintain those.

    Though yeah i absolutely can't understand how cars became a symbol of freedom. Those are literally like a ball and chain around your legs.The cost of maintenance, car itself and fuel, stress from said fuel price and then getting to sit in a traffic jam overwhelming majority of the time, while trying to memorize huge amount of road rules that many just ignore and which can result in death.

    Yeah sure racetrack driving might be nice or going somewhere really remote, but that's so rare as to be a statistical anomaly, overwhelming majority of the time it's basic everyday driving.

  • Do you ever doubt yourself cos of your neurodiversity?

  • I just start to doubt whatever i am right, maybe i am wrong, it's not unlikely that i missed something.

  • Do you ever doubt yourself cos of your neurodiversity?

  • Absolutely always with absolutely everything, I'm not even sure there are exceptions to it. There isn't a single thing i don't mull over for days, sometimes even years.

    Even with things that i assume i like/enjoy. Even using the word "assume" regarding something that i enjoy.

    There isn't a thing i know for 100% certainty, everything is just a guesswork based on available evidence and that can change if more evidence surfaces.

  • Suffering looks exactly like this.

  • Well at least I'm a comfortable dork.

    I am the one who walks with sandals and socks. I fear nothing.

  • If you can't explain why the rule matters, then I won't follow it.

  • Mom, please get off the internet. It's not good for you.

    For clarification, Just joking. That sentence was one of the most repeated anwsers to everything when i dared to ask how something works from my mother.

  • How can I get over my disdain for sport enough so I can exercise yet again?

  • I hear you, i do hate team based and competitive sports as well. Though those are not only type of sports you can do. There are sports you can do on your own on your own conditions and pace.

    Now the main bodyweight changes come primarily from diet. Yes exercise can help with burning extra calories, but that should never be the main goal of it. "You can't outrun a bad diet" does hold true, especially in moder world with calorie dense foods.Now for dieting, don't take it as a diet, because that gives an impression that it's going to be done for a limited time. It's more of a lifestyle change and shouldn't be done in a one big change. It consist of baby steps spread out over months to years.Already showing interest into it is the first step. Reducing portion sizes of some junk foods or switching out a single component can be the next step for the next few weeks.Weight management and calorie intake should be taken as avarages on a scale of weeks to months.

    As for training. The muscle pain you describe i assume is DOMs(delayed onset muscle soreness). Yes that will happen every time you put your body through a novel activity that exerts it. That can be reduced, mostly by starting slowly and for future motivation. With consistent training, it can disappear completely.For example slow pace walking instead of running and slowly over the course of a month or two slowly increasing the tempo until by the end you are running, but minimized the novel stimulus part so that the DOMs would be minimal.

    Walking, cycling, elliptical, low impact is good for overall cardio. Personally I'd recommend elliptical machine, mostly because it spreads out the overall load between the whole body and i can watch movies during it making it more interesting.

    Other aspect would be resistance training. The most basic training, covering 6 movment types, spread out over 2-3 days is more than enough for overwhelming majority of people. No point to go nuts, with 5-6 days of training to complete failure and then be crippled for the next week and give up/burn out. Slow and steady wins the game. Start slow and ramp up over the course of months to years. Like it took me almost 10 months to go from training barely once a week to 5 times a week and then few more months to solidify the habit and fit it into ny overall life. Nowadays, nearly 4½ years later it's a rock solid habit.

    6 movment types, with examples would be.

    • horizontal push(ex, bench press, push-ups, machine press)
    • vertical push(ex shoulder press or even lateral raise)
    • horizontal pull(ex any rowing variation)
    • vertical pull(any lat pulldown variation or pull-up)
    • squat pattern(bodyweight squat or any leg press variation)
    • hip hinge (deadlift or any variation of it like RDL or SLDL or even good morning and/or hip thrust)

    Those can be spread out over the course of 2-3 days, doing just 2-3 movments per day. One movment taking somewhere around 15-30 minutes. Staring out doing each movement once per workout to slowly increasing it to 3 times per workout. With repetitions, anything between 5-30 is good enough and has the same results, though preferably staying between 8-12 is better. Mostly because doing deadlifts or squats for 30 reps will exhaust your cardio first rather than target muscles, but doing 5 reps of lat raise can be rather uncomfortable if doing with free weights(dumbbell, barbell)

    If you want let me know and i can help you figure out exact movements or alternatives for even doing those at home. No I'm not selling a training plan or am a trainer, just someone with autistic levels of interest in it.

  • Maybe the real "Great Filter" is that once a species gets collectively smart enough they realize their own planet is a far better investment than extension into the cosmos.

  • Civilization collapsing doesn't equal to species end. A gamma ray burst or yeah something that has already happened in the planets past, a big enough asteroid hitting us. Can mean the end of the species.

    Of course civilizations collapse should be avoided even just for the reason of avoiding lots of people dying. We shouldn't completely discard expanding into space either. Our population and civilization is big enough that both things can be done at the same time.

    Working towards both will probably provide a better overall goal for common people as well instead of currently working just to line the pockets of CEOs and pedofiles.

  • I wore Meta AI glasses for a month — and even after struggling with privacy concerns, I'm still not convinced they're the future of wearables

  • Fair, that's understandable. Though whole new level of tracking.

  • I wore Meta AI glasses for a month — and even after struggling with privacy concerns, I'm still not convinced they're the future of wearables

  • Talk about nightmares.

  • I wore Meta AI glasses for a month — and even after struggling with privacy concerns, I'm still not convinced they're the future of wearables

  • So if I'm understanding it correctly. They are seeing ads literally in front of them all the time? Like those glasses are playing ads constantly?

  • RAM prices are about to rise nearly 50 percent. And it gets worse.

  • That would probably be too close to a tech hobby and considering what some of the tech giants are doing. 3D printing will be labeled under criminal activity

  • Day 717 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

  • Thanks for reminding about this game. I was looking for something to play next week when the kids are with their grandma and i have a little bit more time available. I'll most definitely give it a go around now.

  • RAM prices are about to rise nearly 50 percent. And it gets worse.

  • Mini painting, get addicted to plastic crack. Seems to be cheaper than tech hobbies these days.

  • Bots? On Reddit most of the meme economy was ran by bots anyway, so up or down voting didn't matter.

    But here. I know we have bots doing posting of some memes. But are they doing voting as well?

  • Would you accept purple carrots?

  • Yeah, my daughter loves purple color. So making mashed potatoes and adding in purple carrots would be kinda nice.

  • How good are you at this?

  • If plans are made those will be fulfilled. Fixed plans already set in motion can't be cancelled. Though there are multiple layers for plans. If a fixed plan can not be made, it's possible to make a rough estimated plan, but that will entails waiting on standby then.

    No spontaneity or surprises, screw those things. There always has ti be rough plan and once that is set in motion, it will be completed.
