Not sure if this still works but, the YouTube version I had, mobile YouTube vanced, there’s a loophole to bypass the “premium 2x speed”. It basically getting to video settings as quickly as possible.

These steps work on the YouTube vanced app on android. I don’t know what versions you’re on so it may not work.

When you open a video immediately open the video settings then click your playback settings, then select the 2x speed. On android, YouTube video buffer briefly before loading up at the very beginning, and if you successfully manage to click the playback settings it should load the old YouTube playback settings where the it listed the different speed in a column. If not, as in you were too slow to open the video settings, you can always try again. You just have to close the video and open it again using YouTube history, and again try getting to the video playback settings asap.

If I had the option, I would have never bothered learning how to drive. I never felt the need to drive, when I could just cycle everywhere. However, because I moved to my aunts place, she forced me go to a driving school to learn how to drive. I passed the dmv and am getting my license at 24.

I overheard my coworker talk about how a lot of her college classmates choose not to learn how to drive. This article from Vox, is from 2015, talks about young people are driving less.

Plenty of other articles out there discussing a more shift of the young people not learning to driving because they are choosing not to. So don’t worry about not having a driver license, you’re not the only one.

I felt like the upfront cost of a used/new car as well as insurance plus yearly maintenance, car ownership is not worth it. It’s cheaper to just use public transport and uber if you’re willing to spend more time waiting. Maybe consider getting a e-bike if your city is pedestrian friendly. Don’t need to get a license as well as you can park anywhere given you lock it up properly. It’s much cheaper than a car, and you’ll be working out somewhat.

If you use an electric device like a tablet or smartphone, cover it with a ziplock bag to make waterproof and get ones of those dedicated pen for that electronic device and preferably a pen that doesn’t need batteries. It should be able to take notes this way. Or better yet, forget about the pen, since the device probably has a keyboard, just type it out instead of writing. I had luck watching videos in shower with the ziplock bag but I never tried writing notes in the shower.

I fell off my bike on my way to school and ended up scraping up both of knees. My right knee taking most of the damage, need stitches but I didn’t know any better, as well as, Usa healthcare being so expensive I didn’t bother going to the hospital. That wound open up whenever I bend that knee a bit too much, like going up the stairs or walk too fast, I had to limp on left leg and drag my right leg to avoid opening the wound again. It took months but eventually it healed. Now, the scar is forever on my right knee and just a minor eyesore. It looks bruised and smooth than regular skin. Also, because of that fall, whenever I bend my right knee, I can see a slight protruding bone bump. Doesn’t hurt though.

Luckily for me, I’m had experience on servicing a mountain bike before so that I know what a bike should look like. I could’ve done a better job by adding the disc brakes and rear derailleur. But I couldn’t be bothered to since illustrating on a phone screen is tough :/.

I really hope the European Union starts to fine social media platforms that allow snake oil salesmen.
