Geez S$200,000 per EV (including 10 year maintenance ) Cars really are expensive in Singapore.
I wonder do the police also need to pay COE, or do they get a break?
Yawn, is it over?
Sophie's world by Josvein Gaarder and unbearable lightness of being by Milan Kundera.
Read these in my late teen rebellious age, made me introspective and really emo (read: pretentious and annoying) and gave me a philosophical lens and human psychological lens in my relationships with others and with the world.
May not be typically mind-blowing books as they are, but coming in that time in my life, it shaped my world view.
Has Hadjar overtaken Lawson yet?
Well done Ferrari, never fail to let us down
With how RB is designed just for Max, seen with how Perez and Liam struggled, I'd rather he stay at Racing Bull to get a decent finish rather than fight against the car
Me too, not only navigating the overtakes well but tyre management to last to the chequered flag. Top rookie and DotD for sure
Stoked for Ollie! Ciao!

I really liked Bugs Bunny smiling
I was an early adopter and lover of Evernote. It was a simple proposition, syncing your notes across all devices, and relatively good management system. Used it for school notes, managing life, planning holidays, events etc.
Loved loved it.
Then came along Google keep which did everything, and had a simpler cleaner UI/UX. Made the switch and never looked back. Until now (de-googling)
I guess the trajectory is pretty much the same for all these other companies where they couldn't sustain the growth, and it reached a limit within their reach.
Besides business model decisions, perhaps it's also down to the appetite and ambition of the founder.
that's explains why Red Bull only had 1 working car out on track

Now you're tripping me up
Like condemning ever pressured anyone to do anything
Yeah I hate racingnews365 articles. 100% clickbait and 1% click worthy
Klopp's energy and jurgenpress was really missed at games like this and PSG.
The lads looked really lost and outplayed
We go again for the title! Let's bring it home!
Haas has a weather app?
Kick Sauber outscored their 2024 season in a single race 💚

Running is BS...
I had fun ranting and hearing your rants, perhaps we can keep this going
Inspired by a podcast of the same name (running is BS) that loves to hate running. This week particularly hate running because..
What I thought was an ache turned out to be an injury.
Early Jan, pushed a bit hard on the tempo runs (4:50min/km pace), my comfortable pace is (5:45/km). Felt a niggle in my inner groin immediately, but wished it away (it didn't go away)
Continued training, limping on one side, telling my partner it was nothing when it obviously was.
Come early march, half marathon I was training for. Woke up, acknowledged maybe it was an injury, promised my partner I'd take it easy.
Broke my promise at gun start, pushed on for first 5km, another 5km, another 5km and the final 6km at target pace.
Made it with a PB!
In return, left knee is swollen, left back is aching like never before.
And fine, now I acknowledge it's a injury and am gonna rest with the running for a few weeks.
Running is not
Why is running bs?

Spring time in upon the northern hemisphere, but that brings about the freaking hoard of hovering flies 🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰 at mouth level for easy ingestion.
Whether it is parks, trails, by water bodies, I can't seem to get away from them and always end up eating a mouthful of tiny flies, or at least up in my nostrils.
The worst was when I held my breath over a few steps thinking I made it through a patch, and gasping my way into another horde and engulfing a mother road after. UGH.
We went to Jurgen's penultimate home game Vs Spurs and made a blog about it
My friends and I paid an arm and a leg to catch Jurgen's penultimate home game (because the final home itself would require sacrificing my entire bloodline)
Being our first experience to Liverpool, it was 100000% worth it
AMA
Getting into vlogging - going to watch a Liverpool soccer game at Anfield.
After years of procrastination and over filming, I've decided to knuckle down and put it together. This is video is one one more proud on, the pacing, the story telling, albeit a simple one. Any comments or suggestions are welcome!
I film with a GoPro and Sony A6000, and edit it in Da Vinci Resolve.
is askSwitzerland/ Switzerland r/ still active?
Was surprised to see a considerable Swiss flag on r/places (next to DICKS). Is it still active over there?
Where is everyone at?
How are you accessing Lemmy now? Browser or app?
Hi fellow sync-ers,
Having joined Lemmy recently, I have been having a ton of fun. However accessing Lemmy through my mobile browser has been an awful experience, similar to my past Reddit experience till I found Sync.
I'm not sure how much longer I can tolerate the browser experience, and am hesitating jumping on a app. Where's your head at about this?
Edit (4 days later)
I've been on Connect and has been 8/10 so far. Gonna dual use with liftoff after seeing the comments.
I did a 5 minute ctr+F to see which were the most popular apps/ interfaces. Not sorted by pos/neg, just mentions.

That's a way to start the weekend!
Running expenditures (races Vs shoes Vs gear Vs tech)
How do you decide or prioritise what to spend on?
As a semi-experienced (10 years, 25+ marathons) amateur runner (4hr+ marathon), wanting to improve, I find this a deep dark rabbit hole my wallet is struggling to keep up.
My current expense ratios for this year:
Races: 2xtrail & 1xMarathon ~$175 (35%)
Shoes: 2xshoes ~$175 (35%)
Gear: socks & bottle ~$75 (15%)
Tech: Garmin HRM ~$80 (15%)
Next on my wishlist are
- road shoes
- running tights
- replacing my 3year old Garmin
- running cap/ sunglasses
- a coach
As a sole breadwinner still wanting to pursue my passion of running ,any tips or philosophies to share to help a brother out?
