> But these days, single parenting is the norm rather than the exception.

This is a rather unusual observation I have to say. How did you come to this conclusion, might I ask?


I didn't look it up beforehand. Just googled for it, for example here it says 57% of millenial mothers are single moms. https://comparecamp.com/single-parent-statistics/

Talk about divorce being on the rise has been going on for years.


On ice, when you fall, you slide and it's not so bad as a lot of momentum is transferred to the sliding movement. On inline skates, you don't have that benefit. Definitely wear wrist guards, knee guards and a helmet like heavenlyblue has already suggested. Also, if you can find someone who teaches inline skating, take some lessons in stopping. If you are 100% comfortable and confident in being able to come to a halt safely or slowing down safely, you will skate with more confidence. Also, taking lessons might help improve your technique. Some aspects of efficient movement on inline skates (or on ice) are typically not instinctive.


It also serves to offer some protection against future attempts to outlaw it.

Given how much of general purpose computation we lose every year to walled-gardens/prisons, I think it might help a wee bit now and then.


There will _always_ be more to do than for which you can make time. It is a matter of priorities. Figure out what is important. Then figure out how much time you are going to spend on the important things. Set aside a fixed amount of time for chores too. This ought to leave you with some free time as well so that you can unwind from the day's labours and this is vital too. It helps the mind reset and helps you maintain the energy and discipline to go towards where you want to be.

It is not really complicated but it does require discipline and commitment. Like some other commenters have suggested, a complicated system or a massive to-do isn't as reliable as a simple system which is easy to follow and gives you a quick overview of where things stand. In my experience, To-do systems don't help motivate - they help a bit to stay organised.


Melbourne has one too: http://thenomadicexplorers.com/sites/default/files/users/65/...

(Not as big as the one in Sweden though)

Not as big? Meh. It's a Megameter per millimeter! Yay![1] :)

That depends on how you measure the payoff.


Why would they do that when not spending any resources, time and money on having such scenes is more profitable as it doesn't appear to be hurting their viewership numbers?


I'd suggest spending the time needed to read through the documentation they have. It's not a lot of reading and it helps you understand how it works, what choices it makes and subsequently, it is easier to figure out for yourself how you want to use it.

I've come across that as well. However, I'll add that it's a bit like saying that, in a 400m race (running), all the athletes are back where they started and they'd have been there even without going around the track.

It's a film trying to show the adventures of Indiana Jones.


It's not a problem if you find appropriate quality and thickness. One example is Icebreaker Ultralight socks. I use them in summer and they are rather thin.


> One example is Icebreaker Ultralight socks.

The website says they're actually 38% polyamide and 2% elastane. I think they're 'wool mix' socks rather than wool socks.


Indeed. I think that is to allow them to stretch. If you take something like a shirt, for example, it'll be all merino wool.

EDIT: Also I see that the proportions differ based on the type of socks.
