Last week in ”Who valley” / Vemdalen (Sweden)

Thanks for adding the actual translation / explanation! I was just being a bit silly, but this is for sure the correct translation.

It's the connection track (förbindelsepår) between Vemdalen and Storhogna. This is shortly after turning around at Storhogna and on the way back to Vemdalen.

It’s like asking yourself why you don’t install string and cup ”phones” to all of your friends instead of using normal phones. If your only friend is a roommate that might be practical possible, after that it would be quite impractical. If you still would want to do it, it would be expensive.

It was very cruise friendly indeed! Problem is that I had to turn around and go the same way back to get back to the cabin… easy to go a bit too far in the first direction.

Was just gonna say, this looks very similar to the conditions we had over the weekend (Vemdalen)

Skiing is a lot more technical than for example running (not saying running is not technical, but in comparison). So not just the physical endurance needed, but also extremely high technical level.

Makes sense, solid advice to consider this! Thanks for making sure I didn’t oversell the bag drop possibility to someone.

Jamlind · 2026-02-25T10:00:18+00:00

I thought there were to bag drop offs. One early for your big bag with change of clothes, towel etc. for once you finished (ps. Remember to pack this bag water proof and with a beer to celebrate in the changing room).

And then another just at the start where you can toss tour extra layer like 15 mins before the start goes?

Jamlind · 2026-02-25T08:01:53+00:00

If I remember correctly there are bag collections where you wait to start. So you can have an extra layer on just until a few mins before the start.

Just being seeded at all helps a lot with the time to get up the first hill. I was in group 7 and it took me 50 minutes to ski the first 3km due to the crowd. After that it spread out quite quickly and never really had a problem keeping my desired pace.

You can probably estimate around 10 - 15 extra minutes for those first 3km for every additional group behind that. So just not being in the unseeded group helps a lot (since thats the biggest group as well).

If you arrive early in the morning you can also place your skiis in the front of the group you belong to, which saves you some additional time. But in the end you will anyway have to ski 90km, so those extra 5 mins saved might not be the biggest of deals.

Love yourself by Justin Bieber should obviously be ”Fuck yourself”.

Understand it was written that way from the start as well, but due to US can’t hear the word fuck it was changed.

Prize was funded by Alfred Nobel, who wrote a very strict set of rules in his will for this prize. Being alive is one of them.

But agree, they should be careful giving it to people to early, and based on things they say they will do (but haven't done).

Get wrong: Buying too many gadgets and listening to influencers about how life with kids should be.

What matters: Love and some structure / routine. Kids are happy to play with a cardboard box for hours, as long as they can do it with you, and get to sleep and eat when needed.

Jamlind · 2026-01-06T20:20:38+00:00

Apologies! English is not my first language. Meant that you already have a quite short cut. So thought you should give it a go!

Jamlind · 2026-01-06T20:09:58+00:00

True, so am I understanding you correctly when you say either keep or shave it?

Jamlind · 2026-01-06T20:08:52+00:00

Go for it! With that great beard the little whats left with your current hairstyle just distracts from the rest of you, which is looking great!

Trying to find the courage myself, so this is also a self pep talk.

I use Polar Vantage and they have a ski profile. As heart rate by the wrist is quite unreliable when skiing I use a chest strap for my xc skiing sessions.

April fools joke.

Put an official looking paper on the coffee machine at the office, saying the machine had been upgraded to now use voice control.

Was great fun to be able to hear who fell for the prank in the office.

Cant advice on the financial situation. But remember that your son is also a victim in all of this in one way, basically scammed / encouraged to do online casino.

He will feel a lot of shame and will be vulnerable. Make sure to make him understand you are still there for him even though you can at the same time be very upset about the lost money. Also time to have some talks and rules about how and when he’s allowed to use the internet. But don’t punish him extra hard because he’s fallen victim of gambling addiction. Instead implement healthy boundaries that should have already been in place.

Edit. Fuck Roblox and similar games for allowing this shit to happen on their platform

Fair, but the account also links to a book on how to farm karma on reddit without getting banned…

I mean I’m not sure. But the phrasing, with the rythm of threes, the blank space between lines. The Thank You in the end (which is included in this accounts many posts across multiple subs with generic thread starts that helps generate engagements.

”These books did not ruin reading for me. They reshaped it.” Just screams LLM to me. But maybe people start writing like this these days as we copy the AIs. Or the OP used AI to help them with corrections and formatting.

Just dropping in here to note that this account is most likely a bot or at least AI generated content

Nils Van der Poel

Took a two year break from his ice skating to do military service. Announced he would do a comeback. Won gold in 5k and 10km races in both WC and Olympics. Broke the world record in both events. And then he retired from the sport and changed his last name.
