@Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de @donuts@lemmy.world @AtariDump@lemmy.world here's the promised non-paywalled version for you.
Thanks!
Sorry, I already moved on.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Having lived in US (NJ, great weather for biking!) and NL (that I left partially because the weather was too depressing) - yep, weather doesn’t mean shit when choosing transportation modes
Bad weather doesn't exist, only bad clothing. It's about perspective, I have come to believe.
Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær.
Good to learn yet another version of the same saying and how most countries agree...
Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur schlechte Kleidung.
usually followed by
Du bist doch nicht aus Zucker.
Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur schlechte Kleidung.
But the Norsk saying is rhyming.
In short term, I agree. So deciding transportation falls in that category. On long term, constant get and rain does impact your mood. After years of getting worse and worse seasonal depression I just gave up and moved to literally sunnier lands
People can of course have a preference of weather/temperature, however, the 'bad' weather in the Netherlands is often exaggerated.
And I have called rain 'bad weather' as well, but it took a change in perspective to see that rain is neither good nor bad (it is just a logical consequence of our ecosystem). I now enjoy the occasional rain shower or overcast days.
An attempt to recreate the /r/NotJustBikes community on Lemmy. I'm just reserving the Community Name, other folks (for instance the /r/NotJustBikes mods?) are welcome to take over.
NOTE: This sublemmy (?) is in no way related to or affiliated with NotJustBikes, Jason Slaughter, etc.
#RULES
1. Be nice. Please.
I know it's the internet, but be nice. And report trolls & spammers.
2. No memes
No memes, image macros, or low-effort posts. These are easily upvoted, but they pollute the subreddit very quickly.
POSTING MEMES WILL RESULT IN A TEMPORARY BAN.
3. Stay on topic
Try to stick to posts and comments related to the themes of NJB videos, or content creation. Things like urban planning, mobility & transportation, social equity, Dutch culture, etc..
4. No Trolling
Go troll somewhere else. We don't need that shit here.
5. No comment screenshots
Please don't post screenshots of stupid comments as a post. We all know there are ignorant morons online, we don't need to bring even more attention to their stupid comments.
6. No vehicular cycling
I have no patience for advocates of vehicular cycling. You can talk about vehicular cycling, but if you promote it as an alternative to safe bike infrastructure, I will ban you. You can post that crap somewhere else.
7. No people being hit by cars/road violence
Do not show videos or pictures of people being hit by cars, or other road violence. We don't need to see that shit. We know cars are dangerous, and many people have bad memories of car crashes. Keep it out of this subreddit.
8. No tone policing
We don't need any more tone police. If you don't like the tone that Not Just Bike takes in his videos, there's a very easy solution: stop watching them.
9. No internet drama
Don't spread or promote drama over what has happened on the Internet. You're spending too much time online: go touch grass.
