Yeah politic is messed right now in Hungary and Slovakia in this regard. But I don't think that it sets general feelings towards lgbtq. As a tourist you should be fine, I had really weird encounters in really rural area in Romania but never felt like I was in danger. Just to be safe I would put the rainbow flag down but that's all, lots of people are progressive, even in those countries, and assholes are everywhere.

Hit me up if you will ride through Czech Republic, I am not active much on this account so - @plactagonic@sopuli.xyz (my second lemmy account); @plactagonic@f.cz (mastodon)

I started with it because I couldn't get anything decent from store. Now I can get some really good cider from small makers.

For most people it is love/hate, it is really simple and completely dry, it isn't for everyone. I really like it and now we started to experiment with it more so maybe more interesting brews are coming (I hope that I will make at least one more batch this year).

Take it then through central Europe. CZ and SK take some routing skills but it is really nice to bike here, don't worry about Austria the bike infrastructure is top quality. Hungary is good too but it is really boring (too flat). Don't trust that Romania and Bulgaria are backwards in this regard, it is doable (I would say it is bit worse than CZ and SK).

I wasn't in all countries I mentioned some of it is from friends who were there. Maybe mention it in bikepacking/touring community (it is on lemmy.world so you will need another account) someone will give you more hands on advice.

What's your plan? Route, expected timeline, countries you will visit, what you would like to see...

Finally after 2 years making cider. Last year there wasn't any apples left on trees (I don't know if they froze or what happened, it was bad year). So it is bit hectic, runs between home, "juicery", brew shop and my friend home where it stays. I was bit worried my reserves started to run dry and I have 1 archive bottle left. Trying adding hops and spices, more info here.

I live in wine making region, so there are loads of these. Usually with house attached to it for wine making equipment.

When I want some wine I just go to the street with cellars, chose open one, ask and get some wine.

If it isn't obvious I work in brewery lol.

What will be inside? I bet some wine.

For now I have all teeth and no broken bones.

About difficulty of learning it, it is little bit harder than in-line skates. So I may learn it in few days/weeks.

Key is learn to lean in it and don't catch it when you are falling.

So I needed new bike rear rack and before I checked out I searched what can I add to have free shipping/postage.

So as grown up, reasonable man I would like to announce that from today I am proud owner of unicycle.

It will be some time before I get hang of it but my family with words of courage like "it will be fing awesome" or "buy it, it will be fun to have" or " everyone has to buy some stupid st sometimes" make me believe that I will learn it.

Otherwise nothing new.

This weekend I was on my first (this year) multi day bike trip. Let's just say that I am super tired after these 275 km this weekend. But it was amazing maybe next weekend i will do something similar if weather permits.

So in my country traditional dish is carp with potato salad. Usually we go to short trip around, return at 16:00 and start preparing it. After dinner we open the presents, watch some fairy tale and go to church. I am atheist but at least I can tell that I periodically visit church, nobody needs to know that my period is 1 year.

 

Just want to tell you that I am glad that it is over.

Cooking in professional kitchen is hard and when you have only basic wood stove it is harder. Providing food 5 times per day for 21 days in row for about 40 people is even harder.

 

I never ate pigeon or guinea pig. Only heard that it tastes like chicken and rabbit. But I still want to taste it.

 
 

And did you choose decent one this time or Rimjob_stew one?

 

So I realized that best feature of these sites (Lemmy, red*it, digg, Tildes ...) is that I didn't know anybody. Yes I know that friend who use it but I don't know his username and don't want to "follow" him...

It is then pretty easy to switch if there is enough people. And this threshold, for me, was achieved about 3 weeks ago.

Don't take it personally but I don't give a damn about you but will gladly chat with you about interesting topics.

 

I baked in this bread, meat, pies ...
