I know plenty of people who went there for travel, both work and recreation, and I hope I will be able to visit myself someday. But even so, the country feels lonely and awkward. It's a weird feeling I can't seem to shake. Does anyone feel the same?

I bet almost all families with one or more child use their tumbler at least weekly, especially outside summer months.

Edit: Maybe this is the super low quality clothing from Shein that I've heard so much about, but luckily never had to experience in real life. -

That means an active shirt with about 28 wears is likely to be nearing the end of its lifecycle, and that a shirt that starts falling apart after 10 uses is no good.
This sounds incredibly bad. I wear underwear shirts daily, and the three or four I have in rotation I have had since before Covid... Each of them has at least a year of daily wear, and only one of them have a tiny hole that doesn't matter. They even fit pretty nicely still.

I don’t know who Jeff Geerling is, and this is the first time I have ever watched one of his videos, but there was nothing in his voice or intonation that made it sound particularly unique to me.
I’m not trying to play down the morals of this topic, but I’m interested in knowing if I was the only one who had these thoughts.

And it's dirt cheap to fly to London from the Scandinavian countries. Here in Denmark, a train ticket from one part of the country to Copenhagen (one-way ticket) is more expensive than a return ticket from my local airport to London (Stansted). -

It’s hard, for sure, but I’m also of the opinion that people make it sound harder than it is. I was really afraid before we got our daughter, but it has been a breeze after, especially compared to many other big life decisions (getting a house, get a new job etc.).
I think having a child falls very naturally to most people. Having sleepless nights do not, of course, but most people can manage. And some children are much more easy in the first few years than others, it really depends on many factors, some of which we are simply not in control of.
I do think most new parents discover a whole new way of appreciating the little things, and accepting others. This has shifted my perspective on parenthood a lot.

This usually takes a little while before everyone feels confident and gets in the game. And we don't even progress very much. The point is that it really changes a lot depending on the group dynamic and the frequency between games.

I live in the completely opposite part of Denmark, but I love walking about the old parts of Copenhagen. Sadly, these kinds of buildings do not get built anymore - they're too expensive. But seeing beautiful brickwork, spires, courtyards and copper roofs is just great.

His music is a mix of melancholy and hope, and his voice is quite unique. It was my first time seeing him live, and it was a great experience. He’s a bit of weirdo in a good way, but I left the concert on high. I talked to him after the concert and got his autograph on his newest album on vinyl.
Anyways, this is just to say that please go listen to artists live. It’s always great. I’ve learned to love so many more artists by going to live shows, even when I don’t know the artist or didn’t like them very much initially. Seeing music live is wonderful.

Comment on Nurses in Denmark shift to cosmetic care despite hospital staffing crisis – DSR believes shift is due to salary and working conditions in ~health

We need to compensate our nurses better here in Denmark, or this trend will never shift. We’ve seen nurses turn to Norway for years, this is nothing new, really.

So many recipes with pumpkin! There is a great variety to pick from. Today I baked an entire tray of cubed Crown Prince squash, we’ve recently had spaghetti squash, and I’m planning to make Hokkaido soup later this week. Go eat some pumpkins, they’re delicious.
