I feel like every time a top-tier back hits free agency, the panic starts immediately about their next contract. But if you look at the guys who actually stay elite, the value seems way higher than people give them credit for. Are we just being too cautious with these big payouts?

It’s because I don't know a single person in the public sector making more than $3333 unless they are an executive. I personally know hundreds of people working within the court system, local police departments, the IRS, or municipal offices who are all working for peanuts.
Do you have any actual examples to the contrary?
Standard of living is tanking in Economy ·
Why is there this constant narrative that public sector wages outpace the private sector, when 90 percent of those employees are working for $1667 or even less
? Which private company actually pays salaries that low?

This guy is talking like the EU is some kind of wasteland.🤣

Have you actually tried planting anything, or are you just talking?
The start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (Part 1) in War in Ukraine ·
These comments supporting Ukraine are honestly repulsive.
If there's one thing I learned a long time ago, it's that Americans can be incredibly foolish when it comes to choosing which side to back.
Jeans recommendations? in Fashion ·
Sandra Myers98 said:Jeans are such a headache lately—honestly, I don't think you can find any good quality anymore... For me, Diesel is still the gold standard, even if some of their thinner summer pairs stretched out on me way too fast. On the flip side, Replay was hands down the worst stuff I’ve ever bought. They lost their shape after just a couple of wears—and yeah, I actually fell for them twice.
Calvin Klein is probably my top pick, which is kind of funny since they’re on the cheaper side. Tommy Hilfiger is similar—their cuts are always a bit weird, but occasionally I stumble upon a pair that actually fits right.
As for brands like Gap, none of their styles really work for me, and let's be real, the quality has gone downhill big time.
Hugo's cuts are way too tight for my liking. Boss? Yeah, those are solid...
Ralph Lauren is a total disaster, pretty much on par with how bad Replay was.
If I had to narrow it down, I'd stick with Diesel and Calvin Klein.🙂

Denim has never been higher quality than it is today.
The catch? You’re looking at $250 or more.

If you want budget options, some of the Levi's selvedge lines or Carhartt are solid choices.

At the absolute bottom of the price scale, maybe Uniqlo has something worth wearing.

When it comes to denim, the golden rule is to never wash them. In their entire lifespan, these pants shouldn't see a washing machine more than two or three times—and only if they are genuinely filthy or soiled.
Washing kills the fabric, and that is where everyone goes wrong.

If they start to smell, just spray them with some alcohol and toss them in the freezer for a few days
to kill off the bacteria.

The reality is that studies have shown there is no more bacteria on denim that hasn't been washed in five years compared to denim washed five days ago.
The indigo used to dye the cotton acts as an antibacterial agent against odors; it's no wonder denim was the go-to workwear for American laborers and farmers.

The issue is that the cheap fashion jeans sold at places like Kohl's aren't dyed with natural indigo, except for a few specific Levi's or Carhartt models—and even then, you have to wonder if those big retailers are actually maintaining those standards.

I have an original version of Windows 10 installed on my laptop.
Is it possible to install Windows 10 on a desktop PC and activate it using the product key from the laptop?

Pentium G3260
GIGABYTE H81M S2V
KINGSTON 8GB 1600 MHZ
PATRIOT BLAST 240 GB SSD
LG DVD-RW SATA
XILENCE R7 400W
Voyager MIDI ATX
BENQ GW2255 VA LED 1080p
GENIUS 2.0 SP HF-160
GENIUS DX-150 + SL. LUCIDIS

= $1233 - includes delivery and assembly.

Forget about the All-in-One PC; a laptop is the lesser of two evils, especially since you can find them on various sales right now with extended warranties exceeding five years. Regardless, your best bet is to build a custom PC from individual parts, as any reputable US online retailer will offer free assembly anyway.

Thanks!
Since this processor isn't available, could you suggest an alternative?
Perhaps an i3 paired with a dedicated graphics card?
I also need Wi-Fi connectivity included.

The computer will be used for web browsing, Microsoft Office, and other light tasks—nothing too demanding.
Basically, I am considering picking up this All-in-One PC

Can anyone tell me how the Celeron 2957 processor performs? Will it handle basic daily use effectively?
Full PC build + OS for $600 in Desktops ·
I’m looking for a full setup by $1333, including peripherals (at least a 21" monitor) and an original OS.
Is it actually possible to put together something high-quality within this budget?
