The General Chit Chat Thread 2

haha walking / biking is out of the question. And I can't afford a car, so it'd be busing, and due to the size of the city, it's not that reliable.

[asermax]

I used to do the 30 minutes shit back when I started. Funny enough, it only took me fifteen minutes to go there by bike.

^ THIS.
Biking to the uni rlz, it wakes you up, you got to do some excercise and you are always on time (as long as you don't oversleep, but that aplies to everything lol).

When i was in highschool, it was a 1 hour bus ride every freaking morning and afternoon; if posibly, i don't want to go back to that never again .-.

What you have against it?

Edit: oh, the hill :F

hahah yeah you fixed it just in time.

There just isn't anywhere I could bike on.

[pingryanime]

My busrides are 45minutes one-way, lol.

[Burkingam]

Takes me over an hour to commute between home and work.

[metro.]

That sucks for you guys.

But I can avoid that so I'm going to for as long as I can

[pingryanime]

If you have the option to do so, make damn sure you do so for as long a possible. Nothing as frustrating as sitting and commuting without being able to actually do anything

Walking uphill for 30 minutes to get to uni isn't so bad though. It'd be a bit tiring at first, but you won't even break a sweat after a month or so of it. And it'll save you from having to worry about not getting enough exercise. Not to mention, the journey home again is all downhill, which is always lovely. I wouldn't want to cycle it though.

On a completely unrelated note, I have a sudden urge to read suzumiya Haruhi. I wish he'd hurry up and write book 12, there are only so many times I'll be able to reread the existing ones before I get bored.

[pingryanime]

walking uphill to school? Just ask Kyon for his opinion on that.

I wouldn't mind walking 30 minutes every time I go to school or work. As it is, it takes me 1 hour to go to work and 5 minutes to  go to school. Walking would be great for my health even kyon, with his usual cynicism, have recognized that and I would save 118$/month in public transit while still saving a bit of time overall.

My whole general town area is hilly, for walking it's fine - you take the ups with the downs - but the roads seem better designed for the Dukes of Hazzard than general traffic. Not that it matters to me so much anymore, I have a 10 minute bus ride to my new work space in April and haven't driven myself anywhere in just over a year.

[Saras]

I'm actually thinking about getting a bike. It's roughly 8 km or so to my faculty, it ought be easily doable.

However, I've mastered the art of study-fu on the bus, so it's not really that much of a hassle.

Fuck yes.

[pingryanime]

Just took the first half of my driving lesson. I think I'm a natural. I'm on the highway cruising along, no problem, within an hour and a half of my first time ever being behind the wheel.

[froody1911]

I'm on the highway

Highway driving is easier imo. Driving on crowded streets is much more difficult. Still, being confident within half an hour is great

[pingryanime]

Well, I was driving local streets and practicing turns, accel, decel, stopping, yield, switching lanes, etc etc for the first hour and a half. After that, I went onto the highway.

Though I have to say, driving is really fun




edit:
I just realized the extreme irony of an "adult arbiter" talking about his first time driving for his permit.

Oh, so you didn't notice the extreme irony of not being an adult and being an 'adult arbiter'?

[pingryanime]

Nah, I did but that's not something you can imply unless you know my real age

Driving for my permit (eg, before you turn 17) is implied age, though lol

pingryanime do you know a good place to go and learn divided kanji? I found this but it doesn't seem to be accurate enough when translating the objects into text, it may be the only way to grasp this language properly.
