Swimming is boring but excellent exercise. The odds of major injury are MUCH higher for skiing than swimming. But no risk of drowning. So it's got that going for it. Went skiing over the holiday break -- after two days of skiing, my legs and back hurt for about a week. Of course, I'm old.

Downhill or cross-country? If you take it easy, there isn't much risk of injury in cross-country skiing. But of course, the risk is higher than for indoor swimming, which is probably the form of exercise which is gentlest to your back and knees.
 
Breast stroke isn't so good for the knees. My doc told me to either avoid it altogether or alternate breast stroke with front crawl.
 
For some reason when I was in my mid teens I seemed to start using the same kick motion from breast stroke for front crawl/back stroke. I definitely didn't do it when I learnt to swim as I've gone through all the old badges/certificates etc. No idea why I started doing that and, as much as swimming is now a rarity for me, I still do it and find it really hard to shake the habit >.>
 
Do you know what the worst part about Sabaton is?

Downhill -- me likey go fast.

(This, of course, bears the highest risk of catastrophic injury of any "casual" sport.)

Don't Schumacher yourself - I can't stand another week about Perun complaining that some bloke hitting his head was tops in the news.
 
Something tells me Schumacher's definition of "fast" is far different than mine. In any event, I emerged unscathed, except for some very sore muscles.
 
Sherlock season 3 episode 3 was very unexpected, twisty and weird. However, I don't like what choices they made for some characters.
 
Thank you for no spoilers on the Sherlock talk.
Will be a while before I get to see them.
 
Whoop! First 'night' shift today. Finished at 11pm Central time. Not too bad, quiet and laid back on second shift. Off to bed.
 
Some professor from my uni posted a YouTube video of some shitty pop band on his FB page.
Someone replied with: "Singer looks like Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden."
Professor answers with "Luckily, he doesn't sound like him."

I always hated that guy, what a slimy douchebag.
