Bit more chill than in France, different style of signage (node network) and today ride in Brussels was lot easier than in Paris.
What is worse is that there is forbidden wild camping and they don’t have many campsites, first day I stayed on someone’s garden and then I had bit of long and short days of riding to get somewhere to camp.
This is bit misconception, pigs are really similar to us and we can get BSE or how is it called in humans (it has several names according to the animal that gets the disease).
The problem why the BSE got out of hand was because they used these parts as feed for another animals.
To be honest I understand the children here. The saving part of me just understand that it is better to use everything.
It’s pretty much the same with pigs, only part that isn’t used is brain.
I am bikepacking through Europe, I was in Spain, Portugal and now I am heading towards Belgium.
I didn’t used any bike share and no trains here either but it is used here all the time.
To be honest the cycling here is a bit of organised mess. You have to get the vibe of it as it was explained to me. Real problem starts when you want to get outside of Paris because it is so f*ing big, it is half day of riding through suburbs before you get out.
No, most people are pragmatic in this case and eastern countries changed from Russian ~30 years ago so another change isn’t coming any time soon.
As my parents saw the change from “it is really appreciated that you can speak English” to “it is expected that you can use it”. I can tell that it is so engrained in our multinational exchange that it won’t be even desirable.
Literally me few months ago…
::: spoiler: reality My boss liquidated his business and I decided to travel. :::
When I think about it it may had exactly opposite effect, so much parties stayed under the 5% threshold that 1 000 000 votes didn’t mattered.
Yes you read it right 1/10 of our country’s votes fell through without making any difference. (The ratio is probably worse because not everyone is eligible to vote).
Look at last parliamentary election in CZ.
By increasing attendance by few percent we got rid of communist party which was in parliament from 1945…
Both of them? They made game for each election.
If you are interested in foreign politics:
You had to get our former president and ruzzian asset to vote.
Czech (native speaker) and English, but as I am now in Spain I wish I learned some Spanish, nobody here speaks any English. Yesterday some guy told me that only phrase that he knows is “Beer, very cold.” So that’s that.
Riding my bike. I am on tour (look up my older post) and I have only nature without much civilization right now so not much else to do.
But it is slow today, had a cold night and campsite is in valley so I didn’t get sunshine till 9:30 and my gear is still wet.
It is in my opinion too big to join now as a new user, I think there are some issues with moderation also.
Fediverse needs to scale horizontally so it is bad idea to join the largest server.
As a Czech I would also suggest to go for smaller brewery, because of our tax system the beer is just negligibly more expensive than from big brewerys.
I will be in Belgium hopefully in about 3 months and because I will bike there I will have a lot of time for tasting. Also I will like to visit some beer festival, if the timing will be right.
I worked for a year 6-6 12h shifts on 24/7 assembly line.
It was OK, 14 days night and 14 day shifts it is better that way because you get used to it and you still have loads of time left for other things.
I love how the discussion goes in my country - police lobby for unlocking encryption “just for them” and NÚKIB (national bureau for cybersecurity) openly advising how to correctly encrypt everything.
I don’t know, I think a lot about waking up from nightmare is IRL equivalent of rage quiting a game but I don’t know
Bazoš, sbazar, aukro these are the main ones but there are also specific ones like cyklobazar.
After my bikepacking trip I will pitch the interrail to my parents. They are so excited about the places I visited but don’t know how or if they will be able to get there. They (me too) don’t like flying and by car it is just too stressful.
