I was watching a post-game interview last night and it really got me thinking about how much of a team's success actually rests on the players who aren't the "stars" of the highlight reels. We always obsess over the big personalities and the guys making the flashy plays, but there's always that one person doing the dirty work that makes everything else possible.
It's honestly a bit frustrating how much credit the "face of the franchise" types get while the guys providing the actual glue for the roster get relegated to a quick shoutout from the coach. I've noticed in my own amateur league that the team usually falls apart not because the star player is having an off night, but because the reliable, consistent guys are being overlooked or undervalued.
Do you think modern sports media focuses too much on the individual superstars at the expense of the players who actually provide the structural consistency?
Once it hits a certain temperature, the burner shuts off, but it stays in "sleep" mode until the pot or pan heats back up enough to trigger it again. At least, that’s how my four-burner range works at home.
PS — if your mom is starting to get forgetful, honestly, you might want to look into assisted living. Leaving things like this unchecked can lead to some serious, dangerous chaos. I work with seniors, and I see these kinds of mishaps happen almost every single day.
Don't sweat it—you aren't going to wake up looking like a bodybuilder overnight, trust me. This sounds exactly like some conversation I overheard between two high school kids at my local gym. They were actually talking about taking a break from lifting until after graduation just so they wouldn't look "too buff" for prom 🤦 WTF? Seriously? Between the two of them, they probably don't even weigh 220 pounds combined.
As long as you're eating reasonably and training with actual intention, you won't bulk up. At most, you'll just lean out and lose some of that extra fat—which, let's be honest, usually hangs around the biceps and legs too.
I’m genuinely curious, though—what do you actually need bicep strength for? You aren't planning on heading to a construction site or a heavy-duty warehouse job, are you? 😁
Just grab some basic lighter fluid—you can pick it up at a gas station for a couple of bucks. Honestly, the color of the canister doesn't mean anything regarding the gas itself; it’s just branding for the lighter.
So, I used Bandicam to record a video—it’s about 10 minutes long and clocks in at roughly 10 GB. Once I throw some effects in there using Movie Maker and export it (set to 960×720), the file size drops to around 870 MB. Is there any way to squeeze that down even further?
You can't just drop this straight into a foreign currency account—you’ve got to fill out a specific form to receive funds via Western Union first. The fees usually look something like this but honestly, that's on the sender, not you.
I don’t know what their service records actually looked like, but I do know my old man was out there in '91, hauling food and supplies to them before he headed off to the front lines—and now those guys are sitting on $2667 pensions and living in houses they basically seized after families were forced out. Meanwhile, my dad is left with $667 pensions and a whole lot of nothing.
I don't get why everyone is freaking out—the money is sitting in your account, and honestly, who actually sent it is the least of your concerns right now. I had a buddy go through something similar once; he was selling some gear on Craigslist and gave a buyer his routing and account info. A few days later, nothing. Turns out, the buyer filled out the transfer slip so poorly that the bank messed up the whole thing, and the funds ended up landing in some random stranger's account instead. He went down to his local Chase branch to talk to the manager, and after a few days of headaches, they finally sorted it out by pulling the funds from the recipient's account. They told him that if he felt like being litigious, he could always sue the person who botched the paperwork themselves.
This uses way less power 😁—honestly, I don't think there are any LEDs that actually put out a decent, warm glow. I remember seeing some sort of little attachment you can pop onto an LED bulb to make the light look more natural, but I can't dig up the link for it right now.
Jose Reed2 said:So, just to make sure I'm following the math correctly... if I import goods worth $6.75, and I'll be hit with $933 in customs duties plus sales tax totaling $1.50, does that mean my total out-of-pocket cost ends up being $2.50?
Thanks for clearing that up! I actually have one more question for you
I was wondering if that 14% rate is a flat tariff applied to any country I source textiles from, or is that specific to imports coming from China... or perhaps Thailand?
thanks🙂
If you're dealing with cargo worth that much, you’re going to need to track down a proper freight forwarder. You can't just wing it—not with those kinds of numbers on the line.
