"Beyond Burger" as replacement for veggie burger is destroying my ability to go out to restaurants and eat a full meal as a vegetarian. Look, many long-term vegetarians are actually revolted by the idea of eating blood-squirting carcass, synthetic or otherwise.

@mmitchell_ai Agreed, I really dislike it if it reeks of meat. But it‘s one more option to get people off meat, so I‘m happy it exists 🤷‍♂️

Do I want an e-bike?

I don't think I neeeed an e-bike.

But I think a low powered one might be helpful for when I'd actually like to ride a bike somewhere a little further away but not get super sweaty on the way. Or, for comfortably taking the kids in the trailer to the less local playgrounds, that are just that bit too far for them to ride to on their own bikes.

My office has a shower, but planning the extra time for that into my day is just a bit much, and I feel hot and bothered for ages.

@sarajw Sara, you know the answer! 😂 If I‘d have the choice again I would have bought it much earlier and gotten one with two wheels in the front to not always have so much of a hassle with the kickstand. But that has downsides, too, so best testdrive some.

My budgeting advice as a carless person, too: If other people pay thousands for their cars we can spend that on bikes instead and have much more fun!

@sarajw I was very doubtful, but it’s been the best purchase I‘ve ever made 🙃 I got a 45km/h one to commute 21km/way and I almost never take the train anymore. Also got a 25km/h cargo bike, which is wonderful and perfect to take the kid places, but for further distances (>15km) it‘s too slow for my taste. In any case: get one and upgrade once you need more 🚲

@voxpelli @sarajw Those trailers are interesting, haven‘t seen the ones with a motor – clever!

What’s the latest good movie that you’ve watched? Looking for date night ideas… 🎬🍿
PS: preferentially movies that you can watch from home (but if you suggest a very recent one that’s great too)

@elduvelle We enjoyed https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21335690/ on our last date night a lot. But I‘m a fan of Herfurth’s work and it certainly is not for everyone – but very much for me ☺️

Bad design at the physio place: “Please don't empty your glasses, this is not a sink and doesn't have a drain.”

Well, then don't make it look like a sink, how hard can it be?

I finally pushed myself and published my personal website:

https://sebastianlammers.com/

It's where I experiment with all things web, like esp. and most often in the context of or similar forms of visual storytelling.

I have also put my first blog post up, where I share some notes on in javascript:
https://sebastianlammers.com/posts/data-in-js-00

It's a multipart post aimed to be very beginner friendly.

Enjoy!

@sarajw @seblammers Ha, I admit you made me go back and look more deeply to find it – fun! 👏
