I can't remember the last time I've been happy
I moved to a different country 6 years ago because my wife couldn't find a job in mine.
Since then I had troubles making new friends, I did manage to make a couple but then they left the country and I was alone again.
I tried to join a couple of clubs but I don't speak the language and people are not always comfortable talking in English. The previous company I worked for did arrange for lessons to learn the language but then I got fired and it ended there.
Last year is when things started getting even worst, I lost my grandmother, then my wife lost her job and immediately after she also lost the baby. I regret every day not telling my grandma that my wife was pregnant, at least she would have gone away with a good news. My father told me to tell her when I visit but I didn't happen, home is far and I got nor days off no funds for it.
It sucks so much that I got no one to confide to ( other than my wife )
I just got extra depressed today because someone commented with
> When people have abundance of everything they start to complain about this
Am I wearing enough protective gear to ride an ew-bike?
My neighbor has 5 dogs, they bark all the time, if for example I'm at home and I pass near a window they start barking for 5 minutes non stop
And yes they bark also in the middle of the night
I'm starting to suspect this sealant sucks
I'm at my second pair of tubeless tires.
The first set I had was Vittoria Tubeless Next, but I was in Italy and at the bike shop they had an Italian brand, something like "sigilla qualcosa"
One day I hit and hidden pothole very hard and the front tire for heavily damaged.
I bought a new pair of tubeless tires, the tires are the race oriented version of the Vittoria Tubeless I had before. I used Stans tubeless sealant, and put 60ml like written in the container, yes I shaked it for a good one minute.
The rim is made for tubeless, it has no need of tape because all the spoke holes are sealed.
The new tires deflates after 36 hours, I did put more sealant but it improved only to 48 hours.
The previous combination of tires plus sealant didn't had this problem and the tires did hold pressure from day 2 ( the first day I misread the siringe and put too little sealant ).
I did clean the rima before installing the new tires, the tires are seated correctly or it would be almost impossible to pump them with a simple pump
I finally managed to go faster than 2:00/100m for 200m. It ain't much but it's honest swim
Why I cannot download this video? both from the app and from desktop it fails

In August 2026, at parity of subscription cost, which one has the best granted tokens/quality ratio? GPT Codex or Claude?
I stopped using AI for personal software development 6 months ago, and I know things must have changed in that time.
GPT 5 was released, and I heard codex now is similar to Claude code.
At the time Claude had the 5 hours windows, however, it also had some weeks limits, that I did hit in just 3 of the 5 hours windows, so I'm not very trilled to use it just to get it to stop working for half a week.
I don't remember GPT having these limits, but people are writing about them.
How's the situation now? Which one will do the most work with the plus plan?
Anyone would like to join for a bicycle ride towards Elektrėnai?
Hello!
Sunday ( every Sunday ) I have a 2 to 3h ride, I'm based near Trakai so I usually go towards Elektrėnai or Vievis and back. I do change route time to time, but towards Elektrėnai is usually the quietest ( on a car perspective ).
I'll be more than happy to get some company and we can ride together.
Speed is around 28-30kmh depending on hills
I do include in the loop sometimes also Grigiškės ir Trakų Vokė so it is pretty forgiving and I can go towards Vilnius
How to avoid male numbness?
A month ago I did my first 70.3, and after the event I got some numbness for 2 days, very unpleasant.
Before ( and after ) the race it used to happen when riding more than an hour, but it would also go away in a couple of minutes. I did rides longer than the 90km of the race without problems, so if is definitely because of effort+time and not simply one of the factors alone.
I did a bike fit when I bought the bike in November, and also I did it again yesterday.
The bike fitted told me three things:
Tri suits offer less padding than normal cycling bibs
A different saddle can make a world of difference but it's a gamble
To change on what point of the saddle I'm sitting time to time
He recommended the saddle Fizik Tritone, at the moment I'm mounting Fizik Arione.
Regarding the trisuit I have a Castelli Sanremo
Any recommendations on:
- Gear
- Position
- Exercises
- other
?
I have completed my first HM, where to go from there?
I have completed my first HM not going to mention anything about it, all I can say is that I did 90% running and 10% walking, I started training in November using Garmin Coach Jeff.
I asked ChatGPT and it said to do the Garmin coach again.
What you recommend as next step?
I believe I could have done the race better if I ran slower at the start
I'm not going to post anything about the race because I know I would get down voted, I simply want some advice and at this point I don't care anymore about sharing achievements
