I had only fallen once with my bike as an adult. I live in Sweden and our cycling infrastructure in my town is g r e a t. The problem was that it was spring, so all the gravel/sand which had been spread during the winter was now on bare asphalt. I turned left and while the wheel turned, the bike did not.

There ain't much good infrastructure can do about gravel on asphalt.

Thankfully I didn't hit my head as it would've surely been a pretty bad accident. Instead I just hit every single boney part on my left side.

Ah you mean in the US? I see, well there's also the rest of the world

I've not been too keen on copilot, then we got it at work so I tried it. For my previous position working in an ancient java project which knows no rhyme or reason, a codebase which belongs in hell's fires, it was mostly useless.

I switched to a modern web developer position where we do a lot of data manipulation and massage it into common types to visualise in charts and tables, there it excels. A lot of what we do uses the same datasets and are then aggregated into one of a set of common types, so copilot often "understands" what I intend and gives great 5-10 line suggestions.

These last 3 weeks I've had the massive task of separating our data processing into separate files to finally add unit tests. Doing the refactoring was easy with IntelliJ, copilot quickly wrote tests as with 100% coverage which allowed me to find a good number of undiscovered bugs.

Tbf, I think it's translated to "give me a clap papa". But I'm basing that on interpolation as a swede

Same in Swedish, "sköldpadda". Literally shield toad.

You mean me doing karate 3 times a week which has given me a cracked rib, a herniated disc and countless of bruises and minor injuries might leave me with chronic pain? I don't believe you!

Over here the "biggest" suvs I regurally see are the size of VW Tiguan. I believe Volvos XC40 and XC60 are pretty popular amongst the richer crowd.

But the most common is probably Kia Sportage. The text book example of a SUV which is engineered to look big, but it's actually not at all and is overall a very cheap car.

Volvo V70 used to be the most popular car over here, now we've all fallen for the SUV scam :(

Modern SUVs are actually tiny, but look big, as far as I've seen here in Sweden. I've more then once parked next to a SUV I thought was big, then as I get out of my Volvo V70 I realise it's very often just a Kia Picanto-esque car which had been raised, given a muffin top and ridiculously big wheels.

It's also a question of how where this meme was made. I'm married in my mid-late 20's and my wife is mid 20's, we've got a child and will hopefully hear that the sellers of a house accepted our bid.

I didn't grow up rich, she grow up in a middle class household with parents who saved an decent (as in literally decent, not decent as in a small business loan of a million dollars) sum which we will use against the down payment. We're not rich or making astronomical sums either.

Is lemmy US-centric/big cities-centric?
