I was 5 or 6 when he read the Hobbit aloud to me. The trilogy is a bit denser so I read that jointly with him I think when I was 10. My daughter and I did all the books as bedtime stories when she was 8, and she liked them all, but the Hobbit is definitely her favorite.
Possibly considered a bit basic or boring, but definitely Tolkien for me. It’s a classic for a reason, and personally it is still so special to me
One of my earliest and dearest childhood memories was my dad reading the Hobbit to me when I was quite small. We later read the trilogy books as well. Loved them all. Recently read them all with my daughter, creating a whole new set of precious memories.
Jeg har lige fået godkendt en måned fri fra arbejde i april, så er nu i gang med planlægningen af en måneds road trip i Sydafrika med min mand og datter.
Helt enig. Der er ingen tvivl om at aktiv dødshjælp er er etisk kompliceret område. Det ville helt sikkert kræve meget detaljerede regler at implementere det på en måde der undgår misbrug. Men deres argumenter imod her, er ikke særlig gennemtænkte eller overbevisende.
The things I appreciate the most about my life, are the ones that took me off plan and by surprise. The unscripted unexpected shit, that’s my real happiness.
You shouldn’t stop. It never makes me uncomfortable when people say anything nice to my dogs, and they always love it too.
God morgen. Jeg får ikke læst ret meget for tiden - delvist fordi jeg spiller for meget BG3, men delvist fordi jeg mangler en god bog til at få mig i gang igen. Er der nogen her der kan anbefale en god bog? Det kan være stort set hvadsomhelst, bare velskrevet!

Inspireret af den nye Justified serie, er jeg gået i gang med at se de gamle sæsoner af Justified.
Spilmæssigt tager Baldurs Gate 3 al min fokus. Det er helt fantastisk.
My partner and our wonderful daughter first and foremost. And at the moment, I really appreciate my job being flexible, and still letting me work from home - even from another country than where I’m supposed to be.
Vi har længe brugt Bring!. OK glad for den, den synkroniserer fint, og kan notificere når andre opdaterer listen, hvis man vil have det.
I am also a terrible cook - but my husband is cooking up a Thai red curry with pork. Super fragrant with galangal, kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass and coconut, lots of chili of course. I’m looking forward to it.
Witcher 3 is perhaps a good option. The combat style is relatively complex I’d say, and quite fun. The story is very engaging and super well written. And it’s available on both Steam and in fact on Switch too. I’ve played the whole game on Switch, and it runs well.

In the Voyager app, I can long press on the community name on a post, directly from browsing in All, and select block from a pop up. It’s super quick and easy. Same pop up also has the option to subscribe.
There are many different philosophies on this, and it will depend on your goals (strength, hypertrophy, etc) and also just your own preferences.
My basic strategy is to train something like 3-4 sets of a given exercise, and aim for each set to be in the 8-15 reps range. So I’ll start with a weight where I can do say 4 sets of 8. Next time I do that exercise, I’ll aim to increase reps to 4 sets of 10 or 12. Then when I do maybe 4 sets of 15, the following session i would increase the weight and go back to 4 sets of 8 reps at the now higher weight. And so on.
It’s not exact, I make sure I’m paying attention to form, and listening to feedback from my body, and sometimes I’ll progress faster, other times I plateau for ages in a given exercise.
It’s also not the only way I try to fit in progressive overload. I may add a finisher exercise for the same muscle, or do certain exercises to failure, add another set to an exercise and so on. The overall aim is to keep challenging my body in different ways.
I haven’t played any other Pokémon games on Switch, so I can’t really say it’s the ‘best’, but I did really enjoy Legends Arceus. Really a fun game in my opinion.
I am not at all from a tech background. I have a humanities/ social science educational background, I work in the organizational management space, for a humanitarian organization.
I do not enjoy a lot of social media, but I had been using Reddit for 8+ years, as my only social media platform really. I enjoyed it for the specialist communities focused on niche interests. I’m hoping to replicate some of that with Lemmy, which is much more aligned with my value set than a large corporate run social platform.
Den kendte jeg ikke - men har tilføjet den, tak!
A PPL split is a great choice, so no need to switch to full body unless you want to.
I also find doing full body takes too much time on a given day. My current approach is an upper-lower split instead. That way, on weeks when I can only hit the gym 4 days, all muscles are still getting stimulation twice in that week. When I can more consistently go 6 times per week I tend to do PPL.
The main comment I would have, which has also been mentioned by others, is you probably need to specify your goal (e.g. hypertrophy vs strength?). Then you can research the ideal rep ranges for that goal, as they can differ.
And most importantly, you need to plan for progression - you need some form of creating ‘progressive overload’ in your programme. If your sets and reps are always static at 3X15, then how will you do that? It may not be realistic to increase weight each time, but you could increase reps over time, up to a higher limit, and when you’ve reached that, you then increase the weight and start at a lower rep number - rinse and repeat. There are many other approaches to this too - so find what makes sense for you.
