After Work Gaming: What games do you enjoy mostly after a day of work?
  • Unless you're a really high-level athlete, you won't go anywhere near those calories burned. A marathon runner spends about 10-15 calories per minute. You're saying that you are active for 1h straight, without breaks, at an activity level that matches marathon runners?

  • After Work Gaming: What games do you enjoy mostly after a day of work?
  • The benefits of this game regarding fitness are undeniable but there is no way to burn that much in two hours playing it. You're more realistically looking at 500 extra calories. 800 if you're going crazy hard.

  • nice trains
  • That doesn't help because the connections are planned to be meeting this train at the planned time. They plan the trains so that you can move from one to the next to reach your destination. And they know who is on which train and sometimes they'll delay a connected train to get everyone aboard. But that's rare and you can't plan for shit like that. And if your plan is to count it as a 6:30 train, your 45 minute commute turns into a 2h+ commute. At that point, I'd buy a car.

  • nice trains
  • If you leave work at 6pm and want to take the train at 6:15 to get home at 7, including one change of trains, and your train has 15 minutes delay, you miss the connection. Then you have to wait for the next train, which might be an hour wait. Then that train is delayed by 20 minutes and you get home at 8:30. That's the real problem of the delays.

  • nice trains
  • Last time I was in Bavaria and needed to go to a town about an hour away from Cologne. I decided to take the ICE, mixed with some regional express trains to get there. Seemed fine.

    First ICE was delayed and I missed the connection. Went to the Information Office and got a separate route. Sounded good as I only needed one change instead of two. Well, turned out, the train was late again and I missed my connection again. I was now about 2-3 hours late already, in a planned 5.5 hour journey.

    Then I waited for the next train and it was cancelled. There was no train scheduled for another 1.5 hours so I went to the pub next to the train station to watch some of the World Cup football final that I missed because of this mess. Walked out again to the platform. No information at all but I just stayed waiting. No information coming in at all at the platform but I saw something online about a train coming in "soon". That info disappeared again.

    I had been waiting in 0°C weather for about 1.5 hours on the platform already and after the beers at the pub, I needed to take a leak. Went to go for a piss, come back to the train already at the platform, literally 3 minutes later, and I almost missed it.

    In the end, I was at my final stop about 7 hours after the planned time. Never again. Plane would have cost less and I'd have been there a lot quicker.

    Wouldn't you?
  • Sad to hear that you don't. Change jobs, it's possible. I've changed jobs and countries several times but the one thing I miss is working in a place without "politics" where you could just say whatever you thought freely without repercussions.

    The deconstruction of some communities has yielded the best reddit content in years.

    This is some of the most degenerate shit ever but it's funny as fuck. I know it's not there to stay but I appreciate it while things are falling apart. It's like blowing on a dandelion, gone in a moment but while it lasts, it's fun and a sight to behold.

    Subreddits and third-party apps are going dark in response to Reddit’s proposed API changes. It’s the latest front in a labor battle between algorithms and the humans who feed them.
