    While I’m not vegan, we actually should. Meat and dairy is fucking up the planet. I’m thankful for every vegan out there. My wife recently turned vegan and started cooking these amazing dishes, I barely eat meat anymore. But I just can’t do without cheese. Cheese is life. Meat is super unspectacular, even a good steak.




  • The tech is flawed? Bicycles are the most efficient mode of transportation bar none. E-Bikes just have a very efficient motor slapped onto them. It’s not the tech. I also don’t believe it’s the climate because I know for a fact that more and more people are commuting by bike in the Philippines. If they can do it in 37 °C heat at 99% humidity and maximum exhaust fumes, then so can you.

    That said, infrastructure is the biggest flaw. And that’s something that can be changed within a couple of years, as long as people are willing to do so. The Netherlands were a car-brain shit hole in the 70s, and they made a 180 and live in fucking paradise.

    Of course there are many things that absolutely require a car, but groceries isn’t one of those, unless you live in the soulless suburban sprawl that you see so often in the USA.


  • Ok? I bought my E-Bike 8 years ago for 1500€ and use two roller bags and grab a bit of groceries on my way back from work. It’s a 10km commute one way, so a total of 20km. It takes me a grand total of 26 minutes to get to work. The car usually takes longer due to traffic.

    I mean, it’s nice having a PHEV for bigger tasks but we (family of 3) only have one car. We do plenty with our E-Bikes.

    Edit: and yes, I use the bike in winter, during rain and snow and I don’t give a shit. I fortunately also don’t live in a total shit hole, which was a choice I actively made.








  • Ich vermute kaum einer denkt, eine Klimaanlage wäre schlecht. Der schlechte Ruf rührt meiner Meinung daher, dass die allermeisten Menschen Klimaanlagen auf Maximum laufen lassen und man von 35 °C Außentemperatur auf 12 °C Innentemperatur trifft. Das ist einfach abartig. Aber richtig eingestellt, kann sie sehr angenehm sein (man kennt es ja vom Auto). Auch sind die meisten Hotelklimaanlagen sehr laut und ich kann da nicht schlafen. Ich schalte die nachts immer aus, auch in Südostasien. Eine gute Klimaanlage muss aber nicht laut sein.

    Warum sie hierzulande nicht eingesetzt werden liegt vermutlich daran, dass wir gut isolierte Wohnräume haben. Mein Haus ist im gesamten Sommer fast schon zu kalt für meinen Geschmack. Gut, ich wohne auch im Norden. Ich brauche die Klimaanlage wirklich nicht. Im Winter heizt die Nahwärme.
