    We found an apartment in our dream location! Moving from a big flat city with boring surroundings to a small town in the mountains. Our apartment has a view of an orchard and vegetable garden and our dog can run around in a shared garden. We go up in size and down in price as well, even though there is a train connection of only 20 minutes to a big town. Moving there next week and I'm sooo excited. We are both procrastinators and managed to find the apartment and sign the contract two weeks before moving date.. phew.

    It sounds a lot like the dutch "net zo lief" which translates to "just as lovely" and we still use it today in this context.

    I am dutch and I have never heard of this issue/myth. Even tour de grance cyclists manage to have kids just fine after 20 years of full time cycling, so I wouldn't worry.

    I think you need to talk to more than one girl about that.. really depends on the procedure, your sensitivity down there and the competence of the gynaecologist. I've been to appointments that were fine and I've been there near crying from pain..

    Finally sunny and dry enough to go for a nice long bike ride. Afterwards probably playing Factorio for the rest of the evening/night/morning.

    Catalyst climbing on youtube with coach louis has helped me a lot with the mental side of climbing! He also has some nice drills (the three warm up drill video is great) that help you make easy climbs more interesting. I use them a lot now that I have a shoulder injury preventing me from trying difficult stuff for a while.

    It is grim, but the average does not tell the whole story. From what I understand, it extends the life of several patients for a long time, with 4x more patients surviving three years after diagnosis. The average is low because, just as with most cancer drugs, it only helps a percentage of the patients.

    Human variation means you can be a male with a natural "male" wide pelvic bone. When determining the sex of human skeletons, they use a whole array of measurements besides just the width of the pelvis and still get it wrong sometimes. Unless you have other indications or feel you might be a different gender than you present as, you have nothing to worry about.

    Know that it is very normal what you are feeling right now, to be hurt, sad, angry, confused and every other emotion. Hopefully a shared moment of grief will be organized. Go there, join in grief with your fellow students and give a hug to whoever needs it. It might not feel like it yet, but it will help.

    It's not legal, but the most you get for it is a fine of around 35 euros in most cases. No judges or jail sentence involved.

    It is probably a statement related to the average tree. Also, I believe hemp and bamboo are not trees (but I'm also not a plant scientist) so not really relevant in a statement about trees.

    I coudn't find a source for your statement, but I did find that it takes a tree 30-40 years to store a ton of CO2, so maybe that's what they mean? A tree will store carbon as it grows, because it builds itself with carbon from the air. https://ecotree.green/en/how-much-co2-does-a-tree-absorb

    I'm so sorry this is happening to you! When my thoughts are in a downward spiral grounding exercises work amazing, like playing catch against a wall, listing 5 things I can see, four things I can touch etc. Or trying to think of a plant/famous person/animal for every letter of the alphabet. This helps get me through the short-term when the long-term feels overwhelming.

    They sell them at the gym now, 10 grams of protein, zero alcohol, and relatively good beer flavor. Alcohol-free weizen beers are also known to be very good isotonic and protein-rich beers and I have used that on many trips to the mountains (in Europe).

    I don't think this meme has anything to do with that right? It's just a joke because we used to call all DNA that does not actively code for proteins and lies outside of genes Junk DNA.

    Because I skipped drinking a beer yesterday I was able to go twice as hard on my workout this afternoon! Tonight I might treat myself to a protein-rich 0% beer.
