  • To me it’s the complete opposite. How can you raise children in the city? They can’t go out without a parent watching over them, they don’t even have a garden to play outside. By moving to the suburbs, my kids can just get on their bike, scooter or skateboard and meet up with their friends at their home or at the park, even as young as 8, it’s a pretty safe place and they’ve got plenty of outdoors to enjoy. We have room for the pool as well as the trampoline, playing soccer and kids can just walk to school super early.

    I moved in to the city when I was 14, after growing in the country/suburbs, when you’re a teen, it’s fun to take the bus to go watch a movie with your friends without relying on a parent driving you there and back. But younger than that, take your bike and you’ve got complete freedom!

    I couldn’t imagine raising my kids in the city so we moved out before having them, now I can’t imagine moving into the city ever again, I actually almost never go to the city except to visit friends or some museums, too many people, bricks and asphalt.



  • I tried a few EVs, I’ve tried non Tesla charging stations. I drive a model 3 and I cannot stress how awful the experience of driving an EV (or even ICE cars) is shitty when comparing to a Tesla. I really can’t see myself buying something else for the moment. The whole driving, charging, entertainment experience is a complete bliss compared to other cars.


  • For the exact same reason, I switched those two buttons on the switch. That’s a pretty neat feature. Except when I alternate playing with the kids who got used to the switch default buttons, I need to remap everytime but you can save and load mappings.

    In Zelda you can also change the mapping, which I did so that I could run with one button (bottom one if I recall) and jump with the button next to it (right I think) instead of the top one, because it’s way easier to run and jump by simply rolling your thumb.







  • That only works if the Bluetooth device is able to connect to two or more devices at the same time. My headset doesn’t, so if I want to switch sources, I need to explicitly disconnect the headset from the phone and manually connect it from the PC (in both cases, open Bluetooth settings, click on theb headset that’s paired and click either connect or disconnect). It’s a bit of effort but not too bad. Not as bad as pairing though.

    If I don’t disconnect from the last connected device, my headset will automatically connect to it and only play media from it.


  • Thing is, there’s not much American news outside of the US. I live in Canada and have far less news about America than I’d thought there should be given how we are neighbors and partners. Most of the news I used to hear about the USA is from Reddit. And when I visit France (which I do regularly, bring born there), there’s almost nothing about the US there.

    Recently though, Trump was also over and it wasn’t pretty. Also when going on Reddit, it’s 80% about US News and content, but not necessarily the best news.

    Overall, what bothers me and others is how much patriotic a lot of the Americans seem to be and how great they seem to think they are, even when you hear how bad the society is in terms of healthcare, pension, divided politics, crimes, conspiracy theory, etc.

    But everytime I’ve been to the US, I’ve only met great and friendly people and have always appreciated it. You usually hear about the bad parts in the news.
