In the end, the whole Jordan and Nike partnership really just boils down to one thing: Nike was the only brand willing to give him a percentage of shoe sales. All that massive circus surrounding landing Jordan—the custom designs, the specific colorways, the penalty fees, the revolutionary marketing tactics—it turns out they only cared about the bottom line. 🤣 It’s a cynical look at how desperate Nike actually was, and how much Michael's family was looking to capitalize on the moment...
Megan Anderson5 said:That was my takeaway as well; while you're on it, you try to eat clean and stick to smaller portions, essentially hoping your body adapts to this new rhythm and volume so you can maintain it once the Saxenda is out of your system.
As for this whole "handful of pills" situation, opinions vary, but my impression is that it’s reserved for those deemed eligible—it isn't just handed out to anyone who asks. I highly doubt any doctor would prescribe Saxenda without running a full battery of tests first.

Have sanctions REALLY wrecked life in Russia? While supermarkets in the UK are handing out eggs and veggies—partly thanks to Putin's war in Ukraine—police in some small Russian town are practically struggling under piles of fresh food, according to the Sue Reid Quote....
Actually, these scenes are a total reversal from 40 years ago, back when most of us watched those depressing news clips of Russians under the Communist regime waiting in lines just to get bread and eggs.
Now it's the UK's turn to deal with the fallout. Local supermarkets here are rationing tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and lettuce because farmers in the United Kingdom are battling massive energy costs, making it impossible to run greenhouses during the winter. Even soft fruits, like raspberries, are becoming hard to find on the shelves.
Tony Montalbano, the director of Green Acre Salads in Roydon, Essex, usually pumps out a million kilograms of baby cucumbers a year, but his greenhouses sat empty last month.
He had to put off his planting just to dodge fuel bills that could spike up to £500,000 a month this winter. He’s expecting his total output to drop by half this year.
"It's sad and frustrating, but I just can't afford to grow," he said. "I have to make money. If I don't, there's no point in continuing. A lot of growers are just shutting their doors and selling out."

When I look at photos from the UK and then compare them to photos from Russia, it feels like I've stepped into the Twilight Zone. 😲
If anyone had predicted this thirty or forty years ago, people would have thought they were insane. 🤣
Sam Alvarez4 said:Reports are coming in that the US Army has arrived in Turkey with 45 tons of gear and 82 soldiers from the US Army Disaster Response Force, but they've had to halt rescue efforts because the security situation just went south...
There’s talk of clashes breaking out between different groups, though there aren't any specifics on who's fighting who or why.

Ashley Ramirez4 said:Looking at these new clips... I mean, seeing buildings just sink straight into the ground while the frames stay intact—it's weird. It doesn't look like a construction issue; it looks like holes are just opening up under the foundations. Even the roads and the airport runways are all buckled and broken—not even enough to call it a landslide—but nothing can withstand it. It’s almost like the earth is just splitting open right beneath them.
Rachel Allen55 said:Back at the tail end of 2015, Sweden basically threw down the gauntlet and gave Denmark an ultimatum: start checking IDs for everyone using public transit or crossing via the bridge, or else Sweden would shut down all passenger traffic—ferries and bridges alike. They weren't playing around.
Denmark eventually folded and demanded the same from Sweden, which is why today, whether you're taking a ferry or driving, bussing, or catching a train between Denmark and Sweden, you're hitting checkpoints. It's pretty rare to get through without being checked on one side or the other.
There’s just zero political appetite to go back to that old Nordic agreement from 1958. Not in Sweden, not in Denmark, and honestly, probably not in Norway, Finland, or even Iceland either.
Then you’ve got Denmark, which has kept permanent border controls with Germany running for about a decade now.
It's the same story here in Denmark; there’s no political will to scrap those checks on the German border.
To put it bluntly, the Schengen Area in this part of Europe is a total ghost town. On paper? Sure, it exists. In reality? It's basically dead.

Steven Wright10 said:You seem to think you’re quite the expert..
Which rotors were you even looking at for 50 bucks?
Where did you get that 83 dollar price per brake from? That’s what they cost at Bike Mania, though at Marathon they’re closer to 90 dollars.🙂
And where exactly is an adapter going to cost $17?
I stated all of this clearly without any tax nonsense included!!
Steven Wright10 As follows:
You’re going to burn yourself out.
Two ninety-dollar sets plus the rotors and adapters... that brings us right to the total. $667
I just saw a note that you can pick up the full set, complete with those XT 180mm rotors, over at Bike Mania for around $1,400. $500.
