    A decent bike needn’t be expensive. For as little as 300€, you can have a new bike that’ll do just fine for recreational use and simple commutes. Used bikes can usually be had really cheap, too, but for that you’d best know how to check the components and what to look for.

    Race bikes, mountain bikes and pedelecs are a different thing, but those are either specialty sports equipment or luxury items.

    Either way, (normal) bikes are easy and cheap to maintain, if used correctly.





  • Loudly and visibly changing the rules doesn’t “create offenders”. Offenders aren’t victims of changed rules.

    It has been shown time and again that lowering speed limits in cities reduces traffic accidents and emissions at close to no costs to the flow of traffic.

    My own city (in Germany, so it really was a heavily-criticized decision) lowered the speed limit on one of the major arterial roads to 30 kph. It is one I have to use regularly, and oh boy, let me tell you: I was soooo opposed to the change. Yet, it really only changed how fast you arrive at the next red light. There is literally no discernable change in how long it takes to pass that street, especially during rush hour. Traffic just got a little more fluid.

    It is, however, the street with the most speeding tickets in town. I regularly see one or two mobile speed cameras along the way. And I’ve never been fined. You got to wonder…



  • The original meme template has the guy leaving without looking back due to whatever he sees on the woman’s cupboard, implying that there are private ideologies/hobbies/affiliations so repulsive that you’d back out of a one night stand at the last moment.

    In this variation of the meme, what he spots on the cupboard seems to be so attractive to him that they have sex until he is exsanguinated, or “pumped empty”.



  • Fastest speedrun was like not even 10 minutes.

    And that was to beat him. Just reaching him and dying to him should go substantially faster:

    • get levitation potions/scrolls
    • grab Icarian Flight
    • have some form of suped speed enhancement (cumulative potions, Boots of Blinding Speed etc.)
    • carefully aim north of Ghost Gate and hop
    • rush through Dagoth Ur (location) into Facility Chamber
    • whack ol’ Three Eyes and have him demolish you
