Two nuns are riding their bikes back to the convent.
One nun says to the other, βI donβt think Iβve ever come this way before.β
And the other one says, βIt's the cobblestones.β

The cobblestone roads shook up all the drinks I was carrying home on my bike π
Would have been fine if you bought real food/drink.
How would padding it with vegetables have helped? Would seltzer water have been less shaken up?
Shaming someone biking to and from the store for getting zero calorie soda is ridiculous. Post the contents of your last trip to the grocery store. Made on foot or bike Iβm sure, right?
To be clear, even if the answer to that was yes and you eat nothing but βhealth foodβ it wouldnβt give you the right to sneer at what other people eat and drink.
nah they're right, I eat like shit
Hats off to those who recognize their own bad habits.
Although really, in terms of bad habits, this is relatively minor.
Although, it is also bad for beer.
Now that's an argument!! Gotta get a little trolley for my beer trips
Or switch to whiskey

Still doesnβt give anyone a reason to be an ass about it. Nobody has a perfect diet and habits without having an eating disorder.

It seems the solution to all your problems are:
- Big trucks
- Suburban sprawl
- Privatized healthcare
- Rabid anti-communism
- Christian-fascist leaders
3 of those are already set in motions.

As someone who's lived on a cobblestone street before, it's nice to look at, but a lot less functional than asphalt or concrete. Especially trying to walk home from the bar with a few drinks in you.
They're apparently also pretty good for slowing down cars in pedestrian-heavy areas, but yeah, taking a fall on those after a few drinks does hurt like shit haha
On the pro side, if done well, they outlast every tar road by centuries.
I don't live in Europe, but I've heard horror stories about how slippery those streets get in the rain
They do, they get very slick in some conditions. In winter/freezing conditions it's an outright hazard. But there really aren't that many such streets left, and the few that are are slowly being changed to asphalt too.
Can confirm, having worked food delivery in the Netherlands.
There's a really good reason they're only used on low speed streets and squares, and now large roads.
You are right. They are. But they're less common than driveways in the US and I don't know why you guys make yours so smooth that if there's freezing weather you can't even walk up it if there's the tiniest incline.
Not that this is any sort of competition, just thought about it
I was very fortunate to go on a vacation last month in Belgium where we rode bikes to several different towns.
It was awesome, but the cobblestone streets in some of those old cities are ROUGH. Just bone shaking. The chain on the bike I was riding bounced off once when I needed to shift.
It also makes blisters on your feet hurt A LOT (probably not a problem for most people, but I have a condition that makes me blister a lot more :( it's ruined so many trips that I would have otherwise enjoyed)
Ha! I needed baguettes, got two and tossed them in the bike basket, feeling so European, until one loaf bounced out and was run over by a car, at which point I felt oh so American!
somebody crusha ma baguette ππ‘
American here. I have seen plenty of roadkill in my lifetime, but none of it was ever a baguette.

The worst part is becoming accustomed to fresh, high-quality food and espresso within 100m of every human at all times.
Also, OP, why are you having "American Breakfast"? Where's your croissant?
Where's your croissant?
In my MOUF
The deathgrip. As if that croissant owes you money or something.
She's just still so mad that her drinks are all shaken up.

Shaking does not affect this the way you think it does. You'll be fine as long as you wait like 10-60 seconds after shaking vigorously. The liquid and gas pressure inside will reach equilibrium, and no matter how much shaking you do, it won't degas further.
Also, keep in mind that it's mostly temperature and surface area that causes soda to degas (fall out of solution).
Fun fact: this is why paper straws are inferior to plastic straws for drinking soda, because paper is insanely more porous than plastic, and causes rapid degassing of the soda inside of the straw, rather than in your mouth, throat, and stomach. (There are other reasons, too, but this one is often not considered by most people)
Cool them down and let settle before opening. Should help.
This is why you need aomwthing with tank treads. Like a tank for example
Stupid part is that I can't ride a tank around here with all the tank-hostile architecture π They got these triangular tank obstacles scattered around everywhere, it's so inconvenient!

If that's the worst part you're having a goddamn amazing time.
What kind of bike is that?
That's a lot of sugary drink π
All I know is that it's beige and from 2011! Held up pretty well all things considered, the battery still lasts for 10km or so, which is plenty for getting to work and doing grocery trips :D

Technically no sugar, it's the 'zero' variant.
It's Zero caffeine too! Which makes it the 'zero zero' variant, I think
Now I'm gonna tell you a "secret".
We European drinks mainly water from the tap, when we don't drink beer or wine od course.
(except many Italians mi, they're stupid and buy water in plastic bottles).
In Barcelona, I was told their tap water was trash so I had to buy bottled water. The hotel I was staying at said the samething and they were giving me bottles for free.

Did you know there is a maximum pressure in the bottle, at which point shaking has no more effect since the pressure keeps the bubbles in your drink? This point is quickly reached, and already happened before it went into the store.
