I did not say it was racist. The definition of hate speech i read up included national origin as a target, but i guess there is no clear cut definition.

My personal scale says that i don’t want to hang out in a group where people say stuff like that and being upvoted for it, even if it is against germans.

Does this qualify? I did not follow anything on lemmygrad, only the pigeon community, but i don’t anymore so this is all i could think of.

The two staircase rule for houses above two (or three) stories is pretty shit, if that is so and results in these rather terrible middle floor houses with appartments only facing one direction. The rest seems to come down to zoning regulation (single family houses, front lawn requirement…) and the rule of “building a house costs money that somebody has to pay”.

Yeah, sound dampening regulation. I mean it’s not that i have never heard anybody complain about their neighbours noise or them hearing phantom noise, so “just be gone” is maybe a bit over the top, although new appartment buildings are very well sound proofed.

The social aspect… i guess people just don’t usually use their powertools in the night. Is more like a social contract but you could call the cops for that.

I am just surprised how often this is being brought up in appartment discussion in NA, i don’t think it is that big of a problem here. Top comment on that video is “4 bedroom apartments with good sound isolation from neighbours would be SICK”, which seems kind of normal to me, although 4 bedrooms sure are on the bigger end.

Oh man. The level of discourse in north america seems really depressing.

And what is it with the concern of noise insulation i always read in comments when it comes to appartments, are there no regulations in place that would make this problem be just gone?

What have you replaced it with? I still have my 4a and kind of dread the day i will have to replace it.

Have you ever tried opening a banana from the bottom like described in the comment?

Monkeys peel bananas also like this.

Nice. But since you’re asking for criticism, almost nothing is in focus, i guess only the water in the very front :)

Edit: front does also not seem to be in focus really. Not sure what happened here 1/125 should be fast enough to compensate shaky hands with a 55 mm

Pretty sure in sweden supermarket sold beer maxes out at 3.5% alc if i remenber that right.

Oh that sounds funny, gonna read those now with my breakfast :)

I mean, you don’t need to tell them. Just order something else :)

Edit: actually i think you should give an ice cold glass of rosé a try though. If it really isn’t for you pour it secretly into the lavender pot.

Yes, i actually rode it yesterday.

And hundreds of road cyclists too, busiest mountain i have ridden.

Don’t forget the pastis ;)

I was on my way with the plan to recreate this photo i took in septmeber some years ago, just with flowering lavender this time:

When i got there, turns out at this spot the lavender field is no more, haha. Photos taken at Col de Soubeyrand.

There was a lavender field a bit higher up, but it was not flowering much yet, i guess too high up.

I am in La Motte Chalancon now, heading north, barkeeper tells me if i cycle past the next mountain, i will have left the Provence.

There’s a cool video from this train in 1902:

Love summer. Love all the seasons, but would be nice if summer was one, two months longer and winter shorter.

Love my friends dogs :)

Because almost all niche topic communities that i am interested in have very few people posting. The niche topics were also what made reddit interesting to me, i hardly ever browsed all there.

Beautiful, definitely want to visit Eichstätt when i’m in the area.

That looks sweet.
