Greg12 posted:post yr route That was the initial plan, we made some adjustments along the way since we hadn't booked anything in advance: (caught a few trains, where we didn't feel the road would be safe or we wanted to stay somewhere longer than we'd planned and then catch up)  We tried to stick to Eurovelo routes for convenience, as well as Swiss ones. (can't remember their exact name rn) The main idea was to see the lakes and a bit of the alps.

They must have entered and exited the campground half a dozen times that night. It was raining but they still had a big fire because they were basically burning a pool of lighter fluid.

Might have deliberately turned off traction control for reasons i guess. Or just floored it in a bad spot and continued making mistakes on top

This post feels like bait designed in a lab specifically for me. Nah, not really, I mean it is fun to rip around country roads on a sportbike (ah it's just a big fuckin' bicycle, bud) but at night is crazy and I definitely agree it should be illegal around provincial parks and nature preserves. mystes posted:I don't even understand what's going on in this video? Like he floored the accelerator pedal and then just randomly lost traction? Yeah, people underestimate the power of cars like that all the time; even a small steering adjustment while you're really flooring it can break traction and if you already don't know not to do that, you're not going to figure out how to correct it without crashing. People say Ferrari has this exclusive customer vetting process and that you basically can't just buy a Ferrari without visiting the factory and becoming a brand ambassador and all this other crazy poo poo but I dunno. There are an awful lot of videos on the internet of people at the wheel of one who seem to have zero understanding of or respect for the car.

I thought that "influencer buys sports car and destroys it instantly" was a whole genre of videos. The guy definitely tried to play chicken with the cyclists, except he's an idiot that doesn't know how his own car works.

Our friends the bollards have a new partner: the bus ditch. Basically you need to be bus width or two wheels to pass. It went up shortly before Christmas and has claimed 20 cars already.

It's the evolution of sump breakers, a bump in the road that's high enough for a bus to clear but will destroy the oil pan on most cars. I'm guessing sump breakers don't work too well in the age of lifted trucks and SUVs, but this bus ditch should work well. edit: Someone in those apartments needs to stick a camera out their window and start a Youtube channel.

some of my most prolific times as a reader have been when my bus/tram commute was roughly equivalent to going by car not to mention not having to pay parking etc, so i could just wait for the bus to take me home and read in the meantime. also inordinately less stressful just burning through literature, cause it kinda forced me to just dedicate my attention to the thing. much harder to do that in other moments for some reason
