I sometimes use Waze (GPS) on the Vespa.

I really don't want to go through the trouble of mounting the phone on the bike (mirror or handlebar bag). Less is more, for me.

A previous look at the route on the map, and listening to the indications ("in 300 meters turn right") is enough for me.

Currently I just use some small wired earbuds but would like to go bluetooth... but I'd probably rather not have earbuds in-ear. Definitely don't plan on listening to music.

Any recommendations for a cheap speaker or similar that is glued to the inside of the helmet? I remember in the 90s my dad had something like that, so it must exist now!

A little over 4 years ago I bought a small, cheap set of pans and pots. I only use silicone stuff, wash them with a soft sponge and I always let them cool down before washing.

The nonstick coating is all gone in the pan that I use every day for my morning eggs. A headache to wash.

For a pan with that usage, is 4 years acceptable? It's really not good for anything anymore.

Asking because I'm considering replacing the whole set (all pieces are now sticking food) for a another one more pricey. But wondering: if a more expensive set is also going to last 4 years, I'd just replace it with the same set again.

Edit:

Since I posted this, I've been reading a little. Also, I've now gotten a lot of useful comments. I honestly didn't know that non-stick was short lived almost by definition.

I will be researching for good Stainless Steel options maybe in Tramontina, which I find reasonably priced and the quality is supposed to be good.

And probably I can get a small non-stick for eggs that can be replaced periodically.

Thank you all!

I'm in from/in Costa Rica.

Lately everyone says they want a vespa. But they only think of modern veapas. I don't actually like them a lot. I feel they're too sport.

People know I own an (inherited) ET4 (which I love and has much more of a rounded, retro look) and friends/acquaintances send me pictures of random modern Sprints, VLX, Primaveras they see on the street and the like. And for me it's always like "Ah nice" but on the inside it's like "I don't care".

Edit to clarify: I AM AWARE that my ET4 IS a modern vespa. Just a very old, somewhat unreliable modern vespa with hard to find spare parts 🥴

Should I initially decide the amount of copies I'll be making? Or is this not a thing in lino?

Asking because of my learning in arts school, you're supposed to make a limited amount, number them and, in theory, destroy/alter the original plate.

I feel lino is more informal... What's the common way of handling this?

O como se llame ahora.

Unos amigos extranjeros quieren ir mañana viernes. Les dije que temprano porque lluvia, espero llegar allá a las 9:00 que abre.

Si de milagro no llueve y nos sobra algo de tiempo durante la mañana, ¿qué se puede hacer después por ahí cerca? Andan con una niña pequeña.

Y si sí nos llueve, ¿hay algo interesante que hacer bajo techo??? No tengo la más remota idea de un plan B.

I live in a very small apartment.

My living room, kitchen and office are all decorated in a way that I like very much and I've been told by friends who come over that they completely reflect my personality, tastes and even fandom. I have art that I've made, artworks I've bought, action figures, plants, my music setup, vinyl appliques in the kitchen ...

For some reason, my (also very small) bedroom is untouched. I really don't know what to decorate with.

In a conceptual level, what do you decorate your bedroom with? I don't like pictures, I feel like art in the bedroom is weird. Maybe because I grew up in a house full of paintings but these were not in the bedrooms. Posters I feel are like teenager-ish...

Help me gather ideas for my white empty bedroom.

De esas chiquitillas como de la cocina.

La cosa es que quiero una mesilla auxiliar más que nada decorativa de un estilo en particular, en Amazon veo que es un estilo común, pero no quiero mandarla a traer porque termina saliendo caro.

¿Conocen tiendas donde vendan este tipo de muebles chinos que vienen desarmados, de metal + melamina (o similar)?

I just found this sub by chance. I know very little about calisthenics, mostly that it's a lot of bodyweight, which I've always liked (I'm a capoeira angola practitioner and have practiced functional training).

But all I see in this sub are people doing pull-ups or similar.

What else is there to the discipline and where to start?

He's a friend with benefits. I'm NOT clingy at all and we're not too affectionate, Im used to sleeping alone and hate sharing the bed.

We've slept together before and he snores, not too loud, but constantly. I always go through hell when he stays over (happened a few times) so eventually I kindly asked him to not stay anymore.

It makes me feel irate when I'm sleeping and BOOM he does like one loud, single snore and I IT MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL, I will move him, shoosh him, and so neither does he or I sleep well ALL NIGHT LONG.

Well we had a week long vacation planned and he booked everything months ago because I was way too busy with something big.

A few days before the trip I realized that I was going to be sleeping in a foreign bed with this person for a WHOLE WEEK.

Glad to report, I brought some cheap disposable ear plugs, the ones that feel like a marshmallow. I shoved those all the way to my brain and slept perfectly from night 2 to the rest of the days. (Night 1 was trial and indeed neither slept).

Just wanted to share that those thingies work wonders.
