@LessPop_MoreFizz which I largely do

Because there have been a ton of great bands that heavily use sax in the past decade.

And then there is Moon Hooch who are from NYC and are about to BLOW THE FUCK UP like nobodies business.

and by your account, it's nicer than any train I've been on in England

OrigamiRobot

I've never been on a train.

Or any public transportation for that matter.

badp

€85/mo, €99/mo with full access to all public transportation in the region

kalina

trains are a strange experience imo

they make me glad I'm not tall

badp

For comparison the same trip in car is €7/day in tolls only

kalina

tolls?

badp

11:33 AM

Highway tolls

kalina

oh

badp

which are things that exist and aren't ridiculously easy to avoid like they apparently are in the UK

The toll free route goes through a dozen cities or something

kalina

not to mention the cost of running a car

badp

There's also a congestion tax in Milan too but it's only effective in the heart of the city and the university is outside there

Yeah. The big downside is your social death

"I'm story guys I can't hang out for long or I'll lose my last ride."

kalina

yeah I guess

badp

The big upside is that commute time isn't spent actually in the act of commuting

That's like two extra hours per day

kalina

yeah when I travel between here and London you can chill out and do stuff on the train

I usually play Civ 5 or something

I don't mind driving but I prefer to drive in the middle of the night when the roads are empty

badp

it's hard to resist speeding when you have an empty highway ahead of you though

and here they measure your avg every seven kilometres or so

kalina

gps > shortest route > avoid motorways

badp

There's actually apps that do the math for you and tell you to slow down

Yeah then a random guy crosses the street with his dog

kalina

I don't make a habit of doing more than 10% over the speed limit

I have only ever been in one accident and it wasn't my fault

badp

11:45 AM

The one accident I've been in it was my fault but it was training and both my car and the one ahead of me were going slowly, like 30 km/h

The car ahead slammed on a yellow light

I couldn't do the same in time

kalina

well, my accident wasn't my fault because I was in the passenger seat :p

Q: Do NPC companions level up when they are not in the party?

Companions in Fallout 2 level up with you, but what if they are put on hold and then recruited again? Do they gain levels automatically to match my own or do I have to level them up?

I have been caught speeding a few times though
