I missed this in the news, then saw link refers to Kronen Zeitung report which is not a great newspaper to cite so thought for sure it cannot be entirely true? But it is! And here another link from Die Presse (google translate works fine here) which tells us it was not a jerk dad who brought his kid to drill holes but an idiot mom.

I think my hand-wash-only, pure-wool sweater believes by now that the bottom of the wash bin is where it belongs.

Also, metals can easily accommodate varying number of electrons in the electron shells of their atoms and still be stable. That makes them very good to quickly store and release electrons which means they can help say transfer molecules around (iron for transport of gasses), scavenge free radicals (e.g. manganese) etc.

It can really depend where you live so I think the first advise is to take it easy on yourself.

• It is ok to combine ways of transports, say cycle to the first train/bus then load the bike on it/park at the station
• Start with a sturdier bike, the one which is bigger and more visible in traffic and gives you a better sense of control.
• don't expect cars to respect you because you cycle or to know what to do around you. Bad drivers are everywhere. Don't try to prove points. Safety is more important than ego.
• get yourself a good, large backpack. This will be your new back seat
• Take taxi/uber when needed. I once arrived to a friend's wedding held out of town in a taxi and literally everybody I knew there looked at me as I was either a fool or a millioner. The bill was like 35$. Way cheaper than owning a car.

Lastly, enjoy how good you will feel. Climate protection and all that is great but your body will love you for it and you will feel it. Good luck

Trees! Those big, old giants which make you feel like they are indeed harboring some ancient wisdom, being there, in the same spot years before you, barely brushed by the passing of time. And then if they are evergreen not even season affects them - they just keep on existing, all tall and gracious. How awesome is that.

Not to mention academic/research text where authors are actually forced to pay to publish, only to have the articles end up behind a pay wall of given journal. If the authors want their papers freely available, they have to pay extra fees to the journal (we are talking thousands of dollars scale). Not a cent goes back to the authors or even research funding bodies. Long live Libgen!

Make trains cheaper goddammit

It doesn't refer to the interaction of liver with stones. The bile acids are produced in liver then transported to the gallbladder, where they are stored and released into the intestine when needed. The whole role of gallbladder is to accept and release the bile salts, the "stuff that liver makes". But then sometimes gallbladder makes stones and it has to be removed because of it.

This is so damn good. I maked these, poor gally <3

Cycling. I don't (yet) have all the fensi equipment nor an expensive bike and don't do long, exercise-like laps. It is much more incorporated into my daily life. I have an oldschool road bike which I use for my commute and then every day after work go around the city with it for some hours (with small breaks for say shopping/eating; ca. 25-30 km per day). Longer rides on the weekends (average ca 100-120 km per weekend). Never was keen on sports but was always into little daily adventures and this combines the two. Last time: yesterday.

I think it has a lot to do with Instagram esthetics and (under-the-radar-proposed) user behaviour.

• You are encouraged through suggested posts on insta to make everything about you look perfect, so your ig becomes in a sense your own advertisment. That is not so much on FB. FB was always life as it is.

• Instagram users are somehow not encouraged to post comments that much, rather to like, which reduces the likelihood of anyone ruining that image of yourself you are creating. Again, this is different on FB.

• Also, there are no groups, no communities on Insta, so users cannot connect in the same way like on FB, so there is no negative political or other association to it.

• Lastly, if you think about it, Mark always was and by this day remained the face of Facebook and Facebook only. Rarely anyone ever mentions he is also behind ig. And we know people - they tend not to think about stuff which aren't mentioned.

For the record, I deleted both at the same time 2 years ago. WA I still have but prefer Telegram. Wish I could ditch WA as well. Telegram is far more advanced.

I find colorful/funny tennis socks really cute. Even regular white ones with like a stripe or two of different color/small drawing are good enough. Couple them with shorts as the other user mentioned and some casual t-shirt/hoodie and you'll easily achieve cute rather then edgy look.
