I absolutely loved Rhodes and am so so so eager to return. Would love to visit Lesbos and Milos too.

but yes agree on Santorini, and Mykonos, both lovely but very over toured.

I react badly to Canadian milk after it’s been ultra-pasturized but I’m not lactose intolerant.

Dawg I think you might be lactose intolerant.

yknow soy, almond, oat, etc non-milk beverages are seriously a great alternative with all needed nutrients...

I bought a new cassette, chain and derailleur for my main bike; it's probably 20-30 years old in it's frame and has some signs of wear, but those parts are probably the most I've "invested" in keeping it running well. Compare to a car with new belts, filters, etc. It's crazy our cities are not designed more densely.

The great thing about bikes is that there's just... a shitload out there, especially vintage repairable units. And LOTS of vintage frames and parts that are often tossed to the road as trash, just cleanly available to take. It does of course require one to have the drive to do the repairs yourself, but that is another thing; thank goodness DIY bike repair shops exist.

many people live in the suburbs which are not mixed zone areas; hence most stock up at supermarkets etc since getting there can be a 15-30 minute drive, let alone walking/biking.

eradicated no, reduced yes. the article even notes that places they worked to remove the invasive weed previously are already bouncing back with native plants.

True, although those three you mentioned are public/private corps in that they're beholden to their shareholders rather than the public. But I get what you mean, I much rather use Canada Post when I can, even though the cost is often very high (ex international shipments to Asia...)

Half-Life Alyx wasn't good enough for you? Sheesh, go play ANY of the HL mods or many other new games released. Bad hill to die on...
