If you really need/want to, use foreign coverage of it. Maybe BBC or other English world wide news will have something (DW, 24France).

You will get mostly unbiased info and it is usually more chill than the heated debates. I use this sometimes but for my country it doesn’t cover much news.

I will be unemployed tomorrow. I don’t have plan for anything specific, I will probably just take my bike, put panniers on and explore Europe for some time.

I am fortunate enough that I have saved enough money for few years of this. But still I will apply to some university to finish some degree to look important (I don’t understand the fixation of most people to these letters before names).

What I mean by this is simply that you probably need to do something. It doesn’t have to be something that your family approves (my mom isn’t thrilled by what I want to do). Maybe move, try to find job elsewhere…

Year ago local restaurant was raided for dealing weed. Not exactly for selling it there the owner was just also running this restaurant.

Whole family was in it so newspaper run story “Even granny watered the plants”

There are few things to look for and it all depends on what bike you want.

• derailleurs and shifters: With friction shifting you can slap any derailleur on bike and it will work. Otherwise look at the brand, model and number of speeds, they can have different cable pull standard that isn’t in production.

• bottom bracket: It is mess of different standards but it shouldn’t be problem sourcing replacements.

• frame: Good steel frame will outlive all the other components, so look at the mounting points for them. Flat mount disc brakes or type of V brakes, BB diameter and type,…

• fork: Go for rigid fork if you want less things to worry about.

Basically look for all the parts, how to buy them, change them, if they require special tools…

I don’t have driving license but I did the calculation.

Tldr: repair + depreciation cost per year are equal to cheapest car leasing per month.

So I have more expensive bike in the range of 2000€ (including rack, panniers and some other stuff). On the second hand market similar bikes go for 1400€ (even older ones in this category), I count depreciation for 10 years so 60€/year (beat this with car).

Repairs/maintenance is around 100-200€ for me but I easily ride 10 000 km/year on it in every condition and surface.

I basically save for new bike per year even with public transport tickets counted in.

For few years now I want to try eating pigeon so this answer might be useful for me.

It is still in use. I had to revisit this video where you can see it. (It has eng subtitles)

Red dwarf learning drugs are real!

Because selective breading is technically a form of genetic engineering/modification. I think it’s fine and we do it for thousands of years.

New methods make it easier, faster and gives more options what to do (modified proteins…).

Sorry the only one that I used is in Czech. If you want to look it up:

“Pivařka” ISBN 978-80-7565-108-2

It has more general information (little bit useless for homebrewing) but half of it are recipes.

Any recipie book for homebrewing.

It just gives you ideas what to do, you have to figure out/iron out the techniques. They are for each settup different so with any book/manual you have to tinker with it yourself.

The glimpse:

If you don’t know anything about Westworld - don’t read reviews…

The mindfuck from the first season is worth it when you go blind in to it. The soundtrack is making the vibe of it even more disturbing/disorienting.

TIL, thanks.

More general answer than you expected, but…

I really like when the sound design in movies makes sense - it “plays” in radio, gramophone…

For example “Black hole sun” cover in first episode of Westworld is just brilliant and caught me off guard (I didn’t know what it is about).

So penguins would be bad drivers.

It is one good thing that somehow survived 90’s chaos - public transport.

One year pass for all ČD trains cost about 900 €/year; most cities have year pass under 200€.
