Ist das nicht einfach ein Zyklus?

Erstwähler fallen auf die Lügen der FDP rein, die FDP regiert, und alle merken wie katastrophal die Partei ist. Bei der nächsten Wahl kratzt die FDP an der 5% Hürde, es ist zwei Legislaturperioden Stille während die FDP einmal kräftig durch routiert.

Spitzenkräfte treten ihre Posten bei Aufsichtsräten an, die sie sich während ihrer Regierungszeit "erarbeitet" haben, eine neue Generation kommt an die Macht, die neuen jungen Wähler können sich nicht an die alte FDP erinnern und es geht von vorne los.

Honestly, going wildly over budget is pretty much par for the course in any sort of large scale infrastructure project in Europe. With the way tender procedure's work in the EU, it's entirely expected that things are going to end up being more expensive and take twice as long. It's stupid and wasteful, but it's “public money” and not going to change any time soon.

I don't disagree, but there's a big difference between "it might stop working sometime in the future, there's no way to know for sure" and "it will stop working somewhere around the date the API changes are made".

The first is a good guess, the second is just flat out wrong. Look, I don't like the reddit admins any more than the next guy, but there's no need to resort to straight up lying.

Do you have a source on this? 5 days ago the message was "P.S. old.reddit.com isn’t going anywhere".

We're not some kind of cult setting rules for how people should live. If you need a car, buy a car, if you want to own some kind of ridiculous lifted truck, you can do that, but I'll reserve the right to make fun of you and think you're an asshole.

Owning a car if you need one is not in itself a problem. "fuckcars" isn't about blindly hating cars, it's about being aware that cars are inefficient, dangerous, and bad for people's health. It's about raising awareness about how car-centric and car-dependent society has become, despite there being better ways to structure transportation.

It is. :) It actually started way back when I was still in school. I suffered from pretty severe depression, but being a teenager I thought I had to deal with it by myself and I didn't talk to my parents. Instead, I would skip school, take my bike and just ride off into the forest and just read all day.

Back then it was classic escapism, really.

I'm mostly better now, was in therapy for a bit and while I still have some bad days, the habit of doing this to hide away from the world has morphed into something I do just because I love it, not to get away from something.

We're going to have to actually read official documentation instead of relying on some greybeard's wisdom on SO 🥲

Turns out you are siblings

This looks pretty good, and I wouldn't mind paying for search, but it seems really pricy. I've never counted how many searches I do, but it's definitely more than 10 a day. $10 a month seems like a lot for just search...

I started doing this two years ago, mostly because I couldn't justify the emissions from flying just to go on holiday and looked for a more local alternative, but I've grown to really love the freedom and flexibility bikepacking gives.

My previous trips have always been in summer or early fall and my gear was oriented around that. I wasn't really expecting the cold nights and strong winds of the Danish coast (especially since May last year was way hotter than this year) and just froze my balls off at night. I did it for two nights because I still appreciated the greater flexibility of just pitching a tent whenever I wanted, but on the third night I just gave in and booked an AirBnB.

It was still a super fun trip, though!

I rode Kopenhagen -> Berlin in May (started as bikepacking, but it was colder than I expected, and I didn't really have the right gear, so I switched to staying in BnBs for the last 2 days).

I don't have any concrete plans for other longer tours right now. I'll probably do the Altmühl Cycle Route over a long weekend, though. It's pretty close to where I live, so I can just take regional trains to the starting point and back home at the destination.
