Yeah Letsrun forum is really infamous in the running communities. The main reason for it that anonymous comments are allowed.

I am a paying member, although don't really see a point in it. Especially since I've noticed that I am using Strava mostly for the social aspect, even if I normally don't care for any of social media stuff. It is really fun to see how my friends, local runners and professional train. For stats I always use Smashrun and Garmin Connect.

Usually yes, if it's not in the way of pedestrians. The MC/scooter parking laws (and filtering for that matter) are surprisingly lax in Germany. I've only once seen a MC to get a parking ticket and this was even warranted as it was blocking a entrance to a house/garage.

In Berlin you can use a scooter sharing service (Emmy) that has those Schwalbe scooters. If you change the ride-mode to boost the acceleration is very nice indeed, not quite motorcycle fast, but faster than most of the cars.

Just finished this book last week actually. Though it was interesting and helpful to identify what habits are really are and how to change.

We had external trainer here some weeks ago and at one point he mentioned(boasted) that he had inbox of 4000+ unread emails. On the last session he wrote his email on the board and said that we can just contact him for further questions and of course no one wrote it down.

Sorry for the people who lost their money. I've backed quite a few KS projects as well, but have stopped doing that mostly now. Just because there seems to be bit more of these sketchy projects and from all the projects I've backed I can say that I am "only" properly satisfied with half of them.

Of all the Kickstarters I've done been only been "scammed" once. That was some mobile game that never got the Android version they promised. Or actually they did release it as a free pay-to-win game years later, but had already counted it as a loss. Have had couple of very disappointing hardware projects, but at least I got the product. Oh and there are still couple of games in "production" that should have been released years ago.

Another obscure and interesting Atlasobscura article. Turkish Delight are great indeed and no, had not heard about them before Narnia either.

Very neat hack! Although I thought most people turn off the WIFI when not using it.

Sorry slightly off topic. Crap! I think have crashed exactly by the Haukeli tunnel. It was years ago and we were doing a mountain crossing with convoy driving through the worst parts. I was behind some old geezer and just coming out of the tunnel he gets blinded by the light/snow and slams his breaks. Me too close and eager just behind him just somehow manage to overtake him in the narrow tunnel, but unfortunately had I too fast speed and bumped the next car slightly. There was just a small mark on the car, but they still did a full checkup and sent us the bill. My boss wasn't happy, but I didn't have to pay ,even if it was 100% my fault.The following mountain crossings since that I have taken bit more easily.

That is a great link! We are just starting to look for a new place outside the city and that will come in very handy.

Currently a cheap Held MC backpack. I doubt that it will last for long, but there are some good ideas here what to look for next.
