Yeah my youngest kid was on the middle of her second school year when the lockdown started. She was so anxious around people when in person school started again. She’s gotten somewhat better in the past couple years, but still not quite the same.

You going sometime soon? Around December the temps tend to plunge and Jan-Feb can be really cold, somewhere around -40C, potentially with some wind and blowing snow making it feel even colder. Highly recommend good outside set, with winter boots, gloves and the rest of clothing meant for that sort of weather, especially if you expect you would need to be outside for a while. I like the overall type pants and winter rubber boots big enough to fit wool socks in myself. :P Might be difficult to buy good quality stuff if you live somewhere much warmer. Probably worth asking whoever is hosting you for some help there. They might even have extra sets available already. Houses up there are typically very warm, so nothing special needed for inside use. Otherwise maybe a camera that is good in low light if you like to take pictures. Should get some good northern lights and stuff if you’re up there a whole month.

Like most everything else, you gotta cook it right for it to be good. To be fair I like pork mostly when it’s cooked until it starts to fall apart (ham, pulled pork and so on).

You can take a look at their post history and that will typically tell a lot more than a number next to their name

Lol also “vaccines” in quotes, sure sign it’s super trustworthy source

Least suspicious would probably be in whatever package they come in. When I travel with my family, we do usually bring most meds in a zip lock bag and we’ve had zero issues so far though. Anyway it doesn’t typically matter, assuming the meds are not restricted in the country you’re going to. I wouldn’t expect many OTC meds would be.

Comparing Lemmy and Reddit is a bit icky in general, but for something I would like to see is improved cross-posting. Something like an option to show them as one post with shared votes and comments. A good chunk of that would probably be on the front end and there’s probably some pretty funky edge cases with how federation works. Also I’m sure a lot of people would not want that, so it would have to be optional I guess.

Yeah there are legitimate reasons to not like this guy, focusing on the silly coach joke is just a distraction really

Get somekind of workout and stretching routine going on. It’s much harder to build the habit later when you’ve got maybe a family going on and probably more work responsibilities.

Most sweeteners have their own health risks. Generally probably still better than sugar, but just moving to sweeteners isn’t all sunshine and happiness.

So is there study that would have looked into how much of the sugar was just replaced with other sweeteners? Or how much soda consumption itself has changed?

Sure, sounds good in the short term. Probably better in the long term to be honest and figure out something that lets everyone to have an orgasm though.

What the fuck? Having to ever discharge raw sewage at all sounds like there’s something clearly wrong with the infrastructure, but 6000 times a year? That sounds like releasing raw sewage is just a part of their every day water treatment plan at this point.

What a bullshit article. Basically it’s looking at average condo rent prices and average is down slightly because more new cheaper end condos were built.

Sites in search results actually had the shit you were searching for. These days it’s scam bullshit or “removed” from the results. Otherwise I do kind of miss the old forum communities. Very little of that left anymore

I don’t do cocktails much, mostly because I don’t really have the ingredients around. One I like to do now and then is whisky (around half the drink, preferably spicy rye) and the rest about equal proportions of apple juice and ginger ale, poured over a chunk of ice.

Oh look it’s a Finn. The premade salmiakkikossu or home made turkinpippuri infusion?

My wife did that for a while. She stopped when she realized she was just piling the food higher instead
