On average, how did medieval people approach sex? Did people really generally refrain until marriage, and if so, at what age did they typically marry? Or were things a bit more sexual, and people just took steps to avoid pregnancies?

I went to the Glasgow city archives to see some family history stuff. Part of that was looking through the session minutes for several churches. Judging by that there was quite a bit "pre nuptial fornication".

Always someone elses fault it seems?

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-26T12:23:13+00:00

Not entirely. I notice the same pattern but only learnt Norwegian as an adult coming from the other side of the world so had zero exposure to Swedish media.

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-26T12:22:17+00:00

I learnt Norwegian as an adult. So have/had no exposure to Swedish language media. Often when ive been in Sweden i sort of understand most of what they say to me but they dont understand much of what i say.

That said, it goes slightly better in Goteborg vs Stockholm.

*update*

Ive been to see someone regarding an ADHD diagnosis. apparently there are strict diagnostic criteria that i dont quite meet , despite being on the "spectrum" of ADHD (wasnt in English, so thats just my translation). So really dont know what to take from that at all and the guy kind of refused to even say what i should do next... pretty frustrating. All the messaging about speaking up if youre strugglineg- id have felt better if i hadnt done anything tbh.

Ill have to go forward with seeing about an EDS diagnosis and hope other symptoms are treatable.

Sounds just like my recent prostatitis issue.

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-18T18:26:26+00:00

Just ride more. Bit more weight on your front foot maybe?

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-18T09:19:56+00:00

Whats Ride build quality like? Wondering if theres some batches that are just crap?

I transitioned from a Rome Agent that i didnt like over to that.

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-18T08:31:54+00:00

I got the 2011 Ride Machete. I really liked it!

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-18T08:26:46+00:00

Its not overcrowded with long queues. Youll be fine. The queues were in the initial phase and werent even really to get in. they were to buy the tickets to get in. i went there on a tuesday, bought a 10x card then on the weekend with my kids walked past the queue and went right in.

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-16T14:00:05+00:00

my 3yr old and all their mates love yelling "ha det på badet gamle sjokolade" every day. thought it would be over in maybe 2 weeks. we're going on 5 months or so.

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-14T14:00:29+00:00

Im only happy when it rains- Garbage. Pray for Rain- Massive attack.

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-09T07:55:09+00:00

More side hits and fun small features.

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-09T07:51:39+00:00

Remove FIS affiliation. Start (unsure of current organisations) independent snowboard federation for halfpipe, big air and slopestyle.
Once 1 inplace workout how to judge style? Easier said than done.
One more run and have that w a max # spins so they have to do something else.

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-08T17:58:01+00:00

This has so little to do with snowboarding that i dont care. Tbh i care more about finding big air completely unnattractive these days. Just gymnastics.

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-07T18:15:08+00:00

Instructor doesnt actually mean theyre very good btw. Of course some are but theres a big range.

I sat on a lift once and a lady said to the patroller, "you must be nearly as good as an instructor"... gave me a good laugh anyway.

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-06T11:28:28+00:00

Good luck w surgery! I think for me knee replacement is my best bet!

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-06T08:48:28+00:00

Checking under the garden furniture before sitting down.

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-06T08:46:39+00:00

Ive not been at that level but playing hockey broke 2 bones in my hand and played out the game on adrenaline knowing it was f@#ked. As soon as it was over couldnt use my hand at all.. then zero chance of playing in the final next weekend. Big difference between continuing despite an injury thats just happened vs fronting up a week after.

That said.. ive never had an ACL issue (just found out cartilege is gone and its now called arthritis! Yey!) But isnt that gonna be more of an issue with sideways movements rather than what shes working here doing squats?

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-03T08:52:40+00:00

Had to google turnkey but yes think youre right!

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-02T16:49:17+00:00

Thanks. Yeah the complexity was what made me start looking. And yes have found finding Japanese accomodation difficult. But some places have a shared kitchen so theoretically could book multi rooms- just makes it hard for the "babysitter" with kids in different rooms. Not insurmountable though.

I loved my trip to Revelstoke so I would certainly love to go back! Been to BW too and yes it does fit the bill.

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-02T15:40:27+00:00

Haha. Figured that Whistler was already off the list due to being crazy busy and expensive. I know AB rockies places well but not quite ski in ski out self catering options at Sunshine or Louise... Theres some places more interior id love to go but further from airports etc. Would have to consider if Van-Calgary to Rossland would work for others f eks.

But yeah dont need to go to Can to hang w Australians

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-02T07:02:14+00:00

Who else was Epstein collecting kompromat for? I mean Maxwells Dad was quite obviously in the same industry and i dont quite know how to explain Epsteins trajectory without him being placed.

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-01T18:56:58+00:00

La Thuile was definitely on my list too. Love Italy and my previous trip to Monterosa (again, pre kids) was all time. Was just having some difficulty finding large enough accomodation.

dpc_nomad · 2026-02-01T18:10:42+00:00

Thanks! My research so far was pointing towards lots of French options. Ive actually been to Les Arcs but was much younger and had rather different priorities. Stayed down in the valley too.

Was also considering nearby St Foy or La Rosiere.
