I'm probably buying inlines soon to be able to ride together with my son. From the last time I had inlines, about 20 years ago, I remember that taking them on and off was a real pain, both really slow, and you ended up without any shoes, so if you wanted to enter a store for example it was often better to walk there than using the inlines. Is there anything out there today that solves those problems?
I guess I could buy some lightweight shoes to bring along, but the swapping still takes a lot of time and is a bit cumbersome. Any other tips would also be nice.

possibly irrelevant backstory
I grew up with very little guidance about hair products, using Pert Plus or similar 2-in-1 mostly by default. In high school, I didn't know what to do with it so I started cutting it really short.
Then one time after college, I found a regular barber who was really good. She sold me a bottle of shampoo and conditioner and told me to wash with the shampoo then leave the conditioner on for a while before rinsing it out. It seemed like it made a difference in how soft and shiny my hair was, so I stuck with that regimen for years, even after I moved across the country. Eventually that product line was discontinued, and I ended up substituting a Redken product that was then discontinued.
Most recently, I was using Redken All Soft. But now they are up to ~$52 / liter (for each of the shampoo and conditioner), so I am looking for something less expensive. I tried a Tresemme brand that they had at the warehouse store which was super cheap ($4/liter for each). It's been okay, but I feel like there might be something in the middle that is better.
For reference, I am male and my hair is coarse and wavy and these days about 3 inches long. I would also take recommendations for my wife and daughter, who both have fine wavy hair. I live in western Pennsylvania in the US, so I would need something that can be shipped here if it's not something generally available.

So, I'm debating switching to a debit card for daily purchases, since the mental accounting gets confusing with a credit card and it's easier to overspend. The only thing holding me back is the fraud protection that comes with a credit card. Are there any (US) checking accounts/debit cards that match the level of protection you can expect from a credit card? Is such a thing possible?

I find myself scrolling through YT hoping to see something to play in the background, occasionally checking things like TechLinked or MichaelMJD with occasional PointCrow and Dougdoug. But really just wasting time doing nothing, just scrolling.
So I want to cut it off but I want to fill in that time with something else.
Anyone else has tried to cut off YT(Or at least minimize) YT from their life? I’m probably using YT the wrong way.
I would like some RSS feeds or podcast to make me go on YT less. Or thoughts/opinions/experiences from other people that used to have YT on almost all the time but minimized the time on YT.31 votes -

Content warning: child sexual abuse, death
I hadn't even hit puberty when you did those things to me. My friend concisely called them unacceptable and we can leave it at that.
When you got your girlfriend pregnant, I had to pretend to be happy.
But were you going to do the same things to him that you did to me?
It was going to be my fault if you did, because I could have spoken up and prevented it, but I'm not sure I was going to.
I'm not sure I'm even all that traumatized, so you can just live your life and be happy.
I mean yeah I've been in therapy ever since and my ex broke up because of it and I don't really function.
But who knows if that's your fault, maybe it was the bullying or the neglect or the isolation or the dysphoria.
So who am I to blow up the whole family with accusations?
I brought it up that one time and hinted at it but you said you didn't know what I was talking about.
Who would even believe me after all these years?
The boy was born six weeks early and there was wires and tubes and water in the lungs.
A week later they said he wasn't going to make it.
Now your baby is dead and I have to pretend to care.
Maybe I'm a bad person.
But the first thing I thought was "karma".
