Today I said goodbye to the Peugeot 406, the new owner came and picked it up, and we did the title transfer stuff and notified my insurance. 5½ years, ~100,000km and who knows how much money spent, between the gas, repairs, gas, green tax, gas, insurance and gas. It was a thirsty beast for 160hp, but holy hell it drove and rode well. A 1½ ton French family car should not be able to handle like that, but it did, so stupidly fun to drive like an idiot, without compromising on comfort. I surprised many boy racers and BMW jockeys on twisting highway ramps. It was also the most sure-footed and predictable car I've ever driven in the snow, which definitely saved my rear end a couple of times. But it had to go, and it was probably overdue. I was tired of pouring money into it, and I never got all of the electrical gremlins  worked out.I paid 55,000DKK ($9,100K) for it in 2012, and sold it for 19,000DKK ($3,100). So now I'm just another Copenhagen public transport commuter. I may look buying a smaller and more economical car soon, let's see how long I last.

Dude, your streak of not getting laid is longer than I've been in this job, and I've been in this job for way too long. Keep doing stuff you like. Maybe there'll be a spark with someone at some point. Don't settle for "meh, good enough". I had been single for 7 years (with a lucky date happening every 6-12 months or so) before I met my current girlfriend, and I had just about given up hope at that point. You can't fake chemistry, at some point you'll fall in love completely unexpectedly.

I've been with my girlfriend for around 18 months now, and things are still pretty awesome. We cook and bake a lot, go to museums and concerts and stuff, love many of the same TV shows, the sex is AMAZING, and she's 100% supportive of me spending a lot of time with my friends without her having to come along. We've had a few minor bumps, but we're both very clear that open communication is the best way to solve them. She's under a lot of stress in relation to her PhD work, and because she's finding it very hard to find new friends here in Denmark, so that is the reason for some of the misunderstandings. I think we're doing quite well, I'm just a little concerned with all the stories of awesome relationships that turned sour.

Well, I'm not the primary subject, but the picture was specifically about the department I was in at the time.

My girlfriend's best friend and her fiance have a ~1 year old border collie and he's just the most lovable playful intelligent curious thing, such a sweetheart. Hyper energetic as well, of course. Absolutely wonderful. My girlfriend's family have beagles and they're just lovely too, in a different, food-obsessed and very stubborn way
