It’s a scene from Reynaert the fox It’s arguably the most amazing text that survived in medieval Dutch. Earliest versions date back to the 13th century.
It’s full of trickery and very dark humor.
Here’s a more recent depiction of the scene: 
Yeah, I’m lucky I got in way before the changes. I think new users are stuck with having to pay for everything? Now I just can’t access the multi-day rides, which is inconvenient if I want to go bikepacking, but the workarounds are fine.
And yeah, they will probably find a way to make older users pay for basic features too.
I used to love how they didn’t have a subscription model. Just buy the maps once and you’re set.
:-(
I’m fine with it if women are allowed to be polygamous as well.
No goedendag? Pffff!
It’s about to be ‘Dodge rammed in the Netherlands’
Cushioning will only help you to a certain degree. Try adjusting your form little by little. There’s tons of good videos on this. If you are a heel striker, you absorb shocks with a stiff leg, resulting in a lot of stress. Putting your chest out or leaning slightly forward will shift your centre of gravity somewhat, making you roll through your heelstrike more smoothly, or making you strike midfoot or further. Don’t try to push too hard too fast, though. Make incremental progress.
Runner here. First of all: good job. Running three times a week is nothing to sniff at. Make sure you have rest days in between your running days. It sounds like you do, but just to make sure. I never run back-to-back.
Cushioning shoes may help, but definitely go to a running store that looks at your stride and technique. If there’s a problem there, they will give you tips on how to improve. And maybe some corrections to you insoles and lacing. It could be that you have a hard heel strike.
If you are a bigger person looking to lose weight: try not to rely on running alone. Go swimming two times a week and run once. Swimming is A LOT less hard on your joints and shins as it doesn’t involve impact. Cycling can be good too, but it will require more time and often more costs as well.
I see it like this: Men who can’t cook and clean and wash and do laundry are called boys. If you are a grown man who needs a woman to help you with basic survival skills, you have a lot of growing up to do. Being entirely dependent on others to get you through the day is about the least manly thing I can imagine.
On a slightly related note: could any US lemmings tell me why non-catholic christians in the US are so involved with the pope?
I have a friend from KY who went to Rome and everything. I asked her why, since she’s protestant, and she genuinely did not understand the question. Her entire family was praying for the pope. And they are methodists?
I have some catholics in my family and they would not bat an eye if the patriarch of Constantinople died. They consider orthodox Christians or protestants as a different religion.
