True, but Göteborg has its own areas to avoid. Hjällbo comes to mind…

You’d be surprised how many people don’t know the difference between being sore and having pain, but I digress. I never wanted to discuss semantics, just make a jokey comment about trading pain for discomfort. Forget I mentioned it.

I think there’s a non-zero percentage of people that confuse being sore with having unexplained pain. And there’s probably also another group of people that think they can excercise without being sore, given how lots of people exercise tout it as fixing all pain, which might set incorrect expectations.

Anyway, I am just sharing my own experiences.

To be fair though, the soreness from regular exercise is what you get in the tradeoff. I have both a regular cardio and strength program I run through every week (5 days of exercise) and a pretty active lifestyle (2 days of outdoor activities every week (hiking, mountainbiking, splitboarding,etc)) and I am generally sore at least somewhere in my body.

I haven’t seen it mentioned, so let me say: Outerwear. Especially if you are into snow sports, the difference between quality outerwear and cheap garbage is not just getting wet sooner. It could very well save your life if you’re wearing something that will keep you dry while maintaining breathability. And nothing beats lifetime no questions asked warranty where you just hand it in and it gets repaired for you. In the long term this saves a decent penny whil also reducing your environmental impact

Same goes for base and mid layers. Cotton will kill you, and lots of cheap synthetics don’t breathe well. Spend money or higher end synthetics or merino.

Lastly, don’t get cheap goggles from Amazon or eBay. Heck, don’t get the cheapest models from even more reputable brands. You will want your goggle lenses to provide good UVA and UVB protection, while also providing contrast enhancing features like polarization and very importantly: fog resistance. You will not have a good time if you can’t see where you’re going. I can’t stress enough how big of a difference visibility makes for your enjoyment and safety.

The difference between my Zojirushi and the Black and Decker we had prior is indescribable. My home made bread suddenly wasn’t dry from the middle down and would last without losing freshness for a whole day extra. With the same ingredients. It’s absolutely worth it to buy a quality bread maker.

Genious comment.

UAE is cheating since they outsourced it to the Netherlands to do their sea reclaiming for them.

Morrowind memes in the wild. What a time to be alive!

I need to re-read the lyrics to that song, it’s one of my favorites by APC.

Thanks. I did not know that, but after reading into it 10000 days now feels a lot more personal.

Other than James Hetfield noone springs to mind in the category “Musicians’ moms killed by Christian science”. Who else were you referring to?

I actually ran this setup for a pretty long while without major issues. YMMV but OneDrive is not a terrible way to store a single user database backend if you don’t have a lot of sequential writes going into it in a short timespan.

Yes, but at the time Excel didn’t support concurrency either ;-)

Anyway, you are correct about the issue with concurrent writes, but that’s only because Access was intended as a single user DB. If you wanted a multi-user DB you should be getting MS SQL server.

Not saying this product strategy worked (it clearly didn’t, otherwise people would not be using Excel), but that’s how they envisioned it to work.

Storing data is only one of the parts to the formula of what makes a database. Proper databases require structured storage of the data and some way to query the data constructively. Excel did not have those features until Microsoft gave up trying to convince people to not use it as a DB and added it to Excel.

Well, to be fair to Access, it’s not like Excel is such a great multi-user database either, now is it? ;-)

Microsoft spent years and years trying to get people to not use Excel as a database, until they eventually had to give up hope that anyone who doesn’t know the difference would voluntarily use Access, so they started adding database-like functionality to Excel to meet their customer’s demands and try to make the experience at least a little bit less painful.

This is a real-life case of “meet the user where they are” despite the designer’s wishes, because even within Microsoft, there is strong agreement on not using Excel as a DB.

It’s been that way for a while now.

When online patching became a thing most games studios quickly figured out they could push the game to press in whatever state, then work on fixing the bugs in between code complete and GA, and simply push those fixes as a launch day patch.

And commercially, it makes sense. The greatest the game is on the shelves, the earlier the investors see ROI. It’s just a shame if this calculated gamble backfires and the degree find way too many bugs to fix in the window between code complete and release. That’s when you get Cyberpunk 2077…

I know you’re being funny, but to answer the question I posited: every summer, after people came back from towing their caravans up through the mountains, my dad’s shop would be replacing loads of clutches with people complaining about the weird smells their car started making. Or the sudden trouble they had shifting.

On a steep hill, your clutch will thank you for using the handbrake. Especially in stop and go traffic towing a trailer. Ask me how I know.
