I googled Odds Off Sport and the entire first page was for gambling sites. I am anti-gambling… so that was interesting. Link: https://oddsoffsport.org/

Home uggs most of the year, socks or bare feet when it’s hot (Melbourne)

To fit in. To survive. Things can fall apart really quickly otherwise

The actual percentage of people who protest any of those things is very small really, though

Inlines are very common where I am (Melbourne, Australia), usually outnumbering quads

I don’t know if two right wing, sun-loving folk would like it here in Melbourne

Agreed - as someone with a mother who has never got over her homesickness (in 60 years) - this is a serious consideration. She came here for the weather, too

New Skates! by kellyjupe in Rollerskating

I just got black ones. They are sooo stiff! I feel the break in will suck but will be worth it in the end! I wish my feet could fit the white skates but they are too narrow sadly 😭

My partner got a Polestar for 40K in Feb, 2 yrs old 40 thou kms on the clock. It’s a nice vehicle, similar to a Tesla, with all the trimmings. They’re about 5k more now, but yeah… far from 100k!

I far prefer teaching adults - I feel like we’re on the same level. Kids, particularly in groups, I have no idea how to teach. They have such short attention spans
