Resisting the urge to go "screw this, let's move to Spain, the only country that seems to have an ethical leader these days" to focus more on "who is my country's Pedro Sanchez and how can I help them get elected".

You will learn so much about a successful woman’s personal life before you learn her name.
As a “mom in her forties” type of woman, if I ever do something as cool as winning an Olympic medal, please share my name first.

We’ve had a solid and trusty 3-wheeler Christiania #CargoBike for several tears now and we’re mostly very happy with it. But I increasingly get envious of the Urban Arrows and similar 2-wheeler bikes at nursery drop-off. Once thing that is holding us back from switching is wondering how stable they are on snow/ice. Our route is not consistently cleared in winter and I wouldn’t want to slide down. What are people’s experiences with that?

#knitting Due to an unfortunate accident yesterday, I need to replace my 3mm interchangeable circular needles. When I purchased them I was new to knitting and went for the cheapest set. Now that I know i am sticking with the hobby, I feel comfortable investing more.
So: product recommendation for circular needles, anyone? What do you love, hate?

@nprofile1q... I think the appeal of the Sophie is that it’s beginner-friendly and can be made with relatively little tarn. It’s a low-stakes dip into the knitting pool, so it’s often recommended to those who want to try their hand at the craft. Also for experienced knitters, it’s a good stash buster.
(I don’t actually really like it! the proportions have always looked off to me)

Jeans that don't get a hole at the crotch from cycling: does that exist? I'm tired of mending all my jeans at the exact same spot.
