I drive so little that I don't have any experiences with poorly visible cyclists on the road. But I do a lot of running along a path shared by cyclists and pedestrians. At dark, I look like a Christmas tree: high-vis jacket, head lamp, white and red million mile light on frong and back, respectivelly, and flashing armbands. It's unbelievable how many completely dark pedestrians and cyclists I encounter on my runs. Sometimes I don't see them until they enter my light cone, and I have to put serious effort into avoiding them. Everyone should be made wear reflexive elements at dark, regardless whether they plan on stepping on the road.

In addition to "normal" uses, my kids got into the habit of leaving me messages on the camera when I'm in the office and they are leaving for school. I grew to love these messages.

Using Eufy with local storage. Don't know whether anything gets stored to the cloud, but I guess data still passes through Eufy servers when I view the videos.

I may not be representative of a larger sample, but I used medium format for landscapes, and always shallow depth of field. For sharper images, I used longer lenses on a 35mm camera. So, a diffraction issue wouldn't be bothering me on a medium format camera, if I ever even found the money to get one.

Still doing Vivaldi on a daily basic. But I think I'm a very specific use case: an old user who hates to change his ways, and is obsessed with keeping the page tabs on the bottom of the screen.

Here I am, happy with my 10 yo desktop, playing games from my backlog, and teaching my kids to play Duck Tales and Dynablaster. Can't wait for to introduce them to The Secret of Monkey Island and Sam and Max Hit the Road. From what I hear, most parents in my neighbourhood are doing something similar, so there's little peer pressure to get the latest hardware to play the latest games.

When I was your age, we called them Micro$oft. Too bad there were no extensions in Netscape Navigator.

My first thought was to flush the toilet whenever you needed warmer water. I used to rent an apartment where I had to turn on cold water in the sink to get hot enough water in the shower.

Brave. Not sure about the version number, but it's been working fine.

Web browser. I only have two other social media accounts, on Reddit and LinkedIn, and I use a browser for these as well. Even if a dedicated app worked in my OS, my phone doesn't have enough memory to install it.

Have school-aged kids. Getting up early will become the best part of the day. The silent first coffee before all hell breaks loose.

I'm still running Jelly Bean. I know that I could get a more modern OS with Lineage OS, but for my very limited purposes the old Android is good enough.

 

Looks like I'm spoiled for choice. Temu has exactly the same for 11.29. Not that I'd be purchasing from either place; it's just another example of Amazon's enshittification.

 

Waiting for 30 minutes to access the Web site of the Road Safety Authority, the Irish equivalent of the DMV. Too bad they don't have physical offices where I could queue personally...

 

Bude kopec analýz, ale to je na neskôr. Teraz už len čakám na poludnie, aby som si mohol dať pohárik na ukľudnenie.

 

Gotta love his pronunciation of "Fico"...

There are a few more inconsistencies, such as confusing the Christian Democratic Union (in coalition with OLANO) with KDH, a party that runs independently and is polling 6-7%. Still, a good primer on what is at stake in Slovakia this month.

 

Given the small amount of tourists this summer, Bojnice is still undiscovered by most. Featuring a wonderful castle, impressive zoo, loads of other tourist attractions, hotels and restaurants, this is a wonderful weekend getaway for tourists who want to do a road trip around the country.

 

Banska Štiavnica is a UNESCO World Heritage site, partially because of the Calvary. These photos are from my personal archive. Come think of it, I should begin updating the photos. Since I took them, the rest of the Calvary, including the Upper Church, have been restored. Last year, they started working on the footpaths to the top, which should be the last stage of the project.

 

Welcome to the Slovakia community at lemmy.world. Feel free to discuss anything related to Slovakia or of any interest to Slovaks. Just be mindful of the following:

  • Janosik was Slovak
  • Real bryndza is from Slovakia
  • Kofola is superior to Coke or Pepsi
