Sounds more like Finland than Denmark. Danish people seem to quite fond of conversations with strangers. I cycled through entirety of Denmark one summer and we’ve had so many beautiful engagements with locals, in villages, towns and cities

As a Pole, Germany was the first place I started enjoying random convos on the street. It definitely depends where as Germans aren’t homogeneous. Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein are brilliant in that regard. Heck, in Hamburg a dude said my t

The phrasing is important as the discussion about personal decisions needs to start from acknowledging it’s a poison, which was not the case for the last centuries. We’ve had narration that some wine and beer is safe and that was incorrect.

The article is fantastic with only one caveat. Recommending 1.6 g of protein per kg of body weight to people who are only meeting, not exceeding, physical activity recommendations is foolish. 1.6 if amount that one needs to build maximum mu

Nobody recommends western diet. It’s standard practice to recommend DASH or Mediterranean one.

Then jog that much in zone 2. I’ve done exactly that, replaced 10K steps a day with < 30 mins jogs if I can’t hit the target for any reason (I work from home so it happens quite often unless I’m mindful about moving).

I thought the same until I purchased earbuds that fit perfectly. I won’t share a brand as it’s irrelevant for anyone else’s fit. However, I do running, cycling, rowing, skipping, climbing, powerlifting, bodybuilding, calisthenics in them an

1 km or 5 km in north Spain’s weather is a cycling first range. Electric bicycle would save those people a ton of money and time compared to cars. Netherlands considers 7.5 km radius a catchment range of a train station in non-urban setting

But I need my phone daily. I can’t log in to my client’s servers without 2FA, can’t make payments, can’t do many things that are super important. I found Jomo app perfect instead. I blocked all apps and websites that are distracting or prom

Those suggestions — that livestock can be a key component for carbon sequestration — have so far all been proven wrong. Just a recent publication in an ever growing list of many disproving the hypothesis: https://www.pnas.org&#x2
