Maybe you just have the wrong bars in your area? I don’t go as often as I used to but for me going to a (bistro) bar or a brewpub offers a nice change of scenery. Sitting outside watching other people strolling by gives you something else to talk about. Or when the weather is crap, I’ll sit inside sipping some dark craft beer I can’t buy in the supermarket.

When we hang out someone’s home conversation tends to dry out after an hour or so and we just end up playing board games (which is fine too).

I had a passport once I kept in the topbox of my motorcycle during a camping trip. It also had a stick of butter in it for cooking. this went fine when the temperature was sub 20°C. On the return day it was hot as hell however. I pulled out my passport at the ferry and it was covered in butter. The desk lady was like, da fuck?

It’s a bit of a grey area. Filming in public places is generally allowed, but an airplane isn’t really a public space in the same sense, since you need a ticket to enter. I guess it would also depend on the airline’s terms and conditions.

Just forward your email to your new email. I did about 5 years ago. Now whenever I get an email that was still sent to my gmail I take a few minutes to change the email, but that’s becoming less and less.

Altruism can actually be evolutionarily advantageous. For example, vampire bats share food with hungry individuals, and this can be reciprocated later. Insects like ants and bees have workers that give up their own reproduction to help raise relatives, thereby still passing on shared genes. Even among unrelated animals, repeated cooperation can favour altruistic behaviour.

Fuck Donald Trump?

Only if you grow heirloom tomatoes though. Modern tomatoes are all F1 hybrids so the offspring will be shit probably.

We do have better insulation here, especially with modern homes you’re better off closing doors and windows during the day and opening them by night.

Why people would watch vanilla YouTube without a privacy front like invidious, newpipe or SmartTube is beyond me. No ads, no algorithm, sponsorblock, no click bait thumbnails and convenient download options

I may have used such a feature myself, but that was more to mask my stubble from a week without shaving.

For me, becoming self employed was the solution. Don’t like a project anymore? Just don’t renew the contract and find something else that’s somewhat related but different enough to be interesting.

I have a Kia e-niro which is pretty decent. It has a touchscreen for navigation, but the climate controls, radio etc are all physical

I don’t know man, those benches are nice for a variety of positions. Plus, you are already naked…

If it’s solid oak you bet your ass I’ll take it. I’ll never tell you that I’ll scrap it for parts though. New wood is expensive and planing and joining wood is a pain, cutting some cabinet doors from a table is way easier.

I have a T480 with an i5, it’s more than adequate for browsing, office, I even run Qgis on it.

First few books were good but after a while I got too tired of all the time jumps and whatnot.
