He used to be very active on social media

Have you tried tweeting at him?

Yeah, I don't doubt it, I was just trying to be (overly) conservative to show how pedaling up to and keeping 50kph is far from being reachable by the average cyclist.

Not only because of the bike, but you also need a well maintained strech of asphalt to reach and maintain that speed.

In my head I thought I can easily get to 60kph with the sprint output I do with my gravel bike if I had a carbon road bike, but I didn't want to say something silly. Especially because I'd still be dealig with the same terrible infrastructure and wind around here.

The other point was that once you get in the 40kphs it starts to get scary, but that's down to where you are and the conditions. So it's not like the average bro with flipflops and front basket does it on the daily.

A couple meters, you say? Sounds like a great way to trash your transmission.

It drives (pun intended) me nuts, but they don't listen to reason. And the worst of all, is that they got their license in a hilly town and say they weren't taught that. While I learned in a flatter place and was taught this.

Pretty sure the "lite" version were just decluttered versions with features missing and better optimization (usually aimed at developing countries). They likely track as much (well, probably not as much because there's no point in tracking stuff that the app doesn't support).

I've actually noticed they started decluttering the messenger app. Rooms are gone and they've also removed the chat suggestion bubbles at the top. So when you launch the app you only see the conversations you have active.

You're right! I was thinking of the sequel.

That, low Vitamin D levels (I suffered from exactly this due to being a shut-in + pandemic quarantine) or a bunch different things.

You definitely should not be waking up tired from just working. Get checked.

The way torrenting works, you're getting different parts of a file from different people, while at the same time you're also sharing the little parts you've received so far with other recent downloaders.

Seeders are people that already have the full file and are spreading (seeds) for other users to download through the same torrent.

Leechers are those that are currently downloading the file but still have not finished.

The term "Leecher" is also used to call those that delete the torrent as soon as it finishes dowaloading. It's good practice to seed it (upload), at the very least, for the same amount you downloaded.

It's probably 1 or 2 minutes of ads every 20 minutes.

I'm not sure if all of their drinks are like that, but my only experience with Starbucks was one of their holiday drinks and I could only drink 1/3 of it because it was so sweet that it was nauseating.

Spicy food isn't just "it's so hot I can't breathe", it's no different than eating something that's bitter or sweet. Obviously, things that are super bitter or super sweet are equally displeasing for most people. Watered down lemon juice is very different from sugary lemon juice or raw lemon juice.

Spices and herbs affect the flavour of food, that's why people use it. Same for condiments. For most, it's not about a flaming/numbing effect because they don't put big doses or use gimmicky sauces in the first place.

Growing up we barely seasoned food and now I was getting to point were I was getting bored with food, so I started buying black pepper, paprika and chili peppers to experiment and it changed me.

For me, it's not about the burn/numbness (the first two barely give you any sort of kick anyways), but instead it's about the flavour they add that I had never tasted. It's that flavour that enhances the food, not the hotness. I have no interest is using artificially hot sauces for the gimmick.

A few years earlier I ate a chili hamburger out of curiosity and two bites into it my lips were absolutely numb, it was ridiculous. It wasn't painfull, but it wasn't pleasing either and it kept me out of "hot" food for a long while.

So it's not solely about "stubbing your toe on purpose" or stepping on a Lego, but it can also be about experiencing new things like walking on freshly cut grass or wet sand.
