Great news! All the best for a complete recovery!
I’m glad to see this discussion starting gathering attention. In general, I think we should start looking more and more at car sharing over car owning: nobody needs an SUV every day, but you might enjoy a longer trip driving one. So short term rental should be incentivized to decrease the overall number of cars on the road and parking lots.
While I generally agree that moving should not be necessary, it should be encouraged. Exchanges of ideas between universities is a key element in how we consider research nowadays, and it’s mostly achieved by people physically traveling from one place to another.
Well said!
I particularly agree on the cardinal role of education in the fight against climate change. I believe that societal change goes through generational change, and that can ve directed through education. There should therefore be key investments in lower and higher education, to have population that better knows and understand the current climate research.
Thanks for the explanation! My knowledge of US history is a bit spotty.
Where I am from, these things did not exist, instead social democracy trued to make communism less appealing by removing the “need” for it. Such a different perspective in the Cold War…
Can anyone explain why such law was passed in US? It seems so pivotal in the political US history, but I knew nothing of it.
How did the surgery go? All the best for your recovery!
After having finished Thistlefoot (amazing, great for the spooky season, highly recommended), I ended up starting Homegoing, that has been on my radar for a bit. It’s a rough book, talking about the space trade with a lot of unsavory details. I am not ready yet to comment on it.
My situation has changed over the months, and the stint in which my partner was home while I was working was short, so this is based a bit on that and a bit on the following re-calibrations.
We try to divide tasks according to what we like doing. My husband likes doing the bath, while I like going out of the house with the kid. This means that those times are win-win: one parent is doing a fun task and the other is having some chill me-time. So we try to get as many of those tasks in as we can manage.
When he was home, I’d take my work commute to decompress and as soon as I was home I was in charge for at least an hour. Often, I’d be setting up a bath for the little one and my husband to enjoy. After the little one’s bath, my husband would take his own bath to chill. He would usually be responsible for dinner, but because he likes cooking and I could spend some time with the kid. After the kid was in bed, it was date time for an hour or so.
He’d have the late nights wake ups because I needed my sleep. I’d have the early morning wake ups, that were more rare.
It took a lot of communication to figure out a good balance that worked for everyone and that made us feel fulfilled. The second part became soon very important, we didn’t want to feel like all we did was changing diapers and cleaning up puke, so we needed to find things we could look forward to. Now that the kid is a bit older, it’s just fun to play with him.
That’s a great resolution, I encourage you to keep it up (for the sake of people like me and others that will be inspired)
As a kid, I absolutely loved Roal Dahl!
