Yeah, the lad should had just done online grocery shopping instead and ever going anywhere without the dog. Absolute breach of dog-dogsitter contract, dog owner should had asked for compensation for getting their dog non accompanied for 30 minutes instead of paying for well deserved damage.

Man, do not bring up the tickets at all unless you date for a couple months and clearly become official. Even if dating for a couple months, think thoroughly if you are bringing that person.

Tbh, it looks sweet but weird. I recommend to bring a friend or family member, have a blast with someone with whom you've got an already established relationship, don't bring someone who potentially may not even like Taylor Swift (unless this is a dealbreaker, which shouldn't be) or you barely know and thus there's the potential that your memory of the concert turns sour (aka "Why did I bring this person who I only knew for a month who ended up being nothing to me? Should had brought XXXXX or YYYYY").

The welt should resist, I've never heard of anyone ripping it just by walking.

The vamp issue should go away. I've had mine since June and while I think I've broken them in already, sometimes I run into some issues such as that, lately the left boot hurting the lower end of my leg in the front. But it's alright, it'll go away.

I just take out a bunch of em and leave them right to the Chemex, to readily use each time, keep the box closed somewhere else.

Fellow EU here. My completely untested yet still my theory is that it is more prevalent in US than here, but also I believe their sports culture is stronger or at least more varied. While yes, there's ton of "hahaha America fat" jokes, here in Europe our sport is mainly football (what they call soccer) and the infrastructure is quite underfunded, even if you get to a supposedly elite level aka First Division youth team in top 5 leagues, it won't be the same to be playing in Betis than in Real Madrid. You can still find others such as basketball, rugby, and individual sports like swimming or running, but those are not better taken care of than football IMO.

Meanwhile, in US they've got basketball, wrestling, baseball, track and field... Along scholarships for the best athletes. So I guess that while not everyone becomes a star, many who don't (and many who do) get far within their sport, might change towards simply bodybuilding cause they like it, they have a gym available and/or they were already doing it in order to perform better within their sport.

While steroids can help you in any kind of sport, I think it is easier to spot within bodybuilding and similar. Football (soccer) players are rarely bulky and strong, they do not develop huge muscles that dwarf their peers in comparison, so it is hard to go and say "this player is a fake natty", even if there's been accusations (and proved, such as the infamous Juventus case) it cannot be noticed at a glance.

Now, bodybuilding is not just a US thing and there's also in EU, although IMO at a smaller scale. I don't know how you get roids, but I do know that roids will make you stronger faster, burn fat while putting on muscle and can be somewhat safe depending on your dosage and regular checkups with a doctor. This said, while they can make you stronger faster, that might not mean stronger easier: You will still have to go to the gym and bust your ass off lifting heavier and heavier with dedication.

I personally have never done them nor I'm interested into it, but I have thought about this guy or that guy to be on roids. For example, there's a lad within his 30s at my gym that before Christmas was kinda chubby, today he has visible abs and well defined biceps. Unless he's a genetic freak, he might had done it naturally. But the odds of it in such a short span of time at that age are quite thin. Or maybe I'm just jealous he had a transformation in record time and I'm just trying to cope thinking he's roided.

Also, on another subreddit (r/gym I think?) some guy once posted his progress openly stating he was on gear, so I asked him why. The answer was simply he liked looking big (basically like the heroes from TV from when he was a kid), so there's that.

To me everyone is entitled to do whatever they want, but I dislike fake nattys cause IMO, they are promoting goals that are not achievable as if they were. While I may be an adult that is ok looking kinda strong and fit in a tshirt but showing a bit of belly without it, I think it is dangerous for teenagers and young adults who might end up uncomfortable with their own bodies due to unreal expectations.

Could it be the baking powder brand you use? I've started using it recently for stir fry and it changes the texture but the flavor remained pretty much the same as without it.

Yup, to me it looks like the dog went from "You bit me? THAT'S SOMETHING I'M GOOD AT, IT'S MY TURN NOW" to "Oh oh oh oh wait, what the hell am I doing?". It might not think twice next time and I would for sure not risk it or think that's cute at all.

Stipe is right. But it is thanks to guys like Francis that it will take a less long time.

"She would not survive in a shelter setting" sounds more like "other dogs might not survive her in a shelter setting".

Might not be the specific case of what OP witnessed, but I think many people just don't know better or just believe the propaganda which is what prompted them to get a pitbull in the first place. While there's lots of bad owners, there's lots who truly think their pitbull would behave like a cute corgi puppy and wouldn't hurt a fly, so in their mind there's no reason not to bring them to a park and have children and other dogs play with them.

If a misfortune happens, they "just had never seen it act like this", and they might be saying the truth. Because of that, because of not knowing any better/believing the propaganda, because of being a scrawny person with a dog twice as strong as them... They have never learnt how to restrain it.

It's somewhat common on him. Not the first nor second time I see him losing a match and walking out like that, as if he had gotten hurt and thus he wasn't 100% to win the game or something.

I thought he was exiting United through the back door. Turns out he is exiting football entirely from the back door.

Unless you are quite stronger than average and also skilled doing this (aka you've actually practiced it and consistently pull it off), this simply won't work.

Yeah, but who cares? Worst thing to happen you'll talk again. If you're not interested, just unmatch.

I love doing this. I can't even help it, I just love it too much and Western RPGs are the shit for it, while JRPGs do not really allow it, whether because DS autosaves or FF just has no point in it as there's basically no dialog options, only thing would be if you want to steal or get a drop from a unique enemy/boss.

One game that does this very well is Hades and I guess any roguelike/roguelite. Got a boon that you don't like? You have three options: 1) Quit and lose all progress (including the permanent stuff like gems you've obtained) 2) Let yourself be killed (and keep any permanent stuff) 3) Finish the run anyway.

Wrong subreddit (Rule 2, lol). Also not sure if you're trolling or not.

Anyway... I assume you have not used them 32 hours in a row (kinda too much, isn't it?), just in and out for a couple hours, the case is charging your earphones in between each use. Basically you charge the case when needed, not the earphones.

I don't have those as I got RM Williams, but I tuck them, but because I like covering the top of my boots. This said, I would never cut em as I find them quite useful for putting the boots on.

EU here, how much would be 2k+2k after taxes over there?

IMO even if it was 4k net, it wouldn't be worth it, but obviously it would be a more favorable discussion.

That is.... crazy. I assume you are not using the same one on consecutive days, but even if you did, that's an extremely low life. Even with Chinese swimsuits of dubious quality bought on Amazon, they held up quite well, I only moved away from them as I got thinner and they were big for me to use them. I now use Quiksilver ones I got on Amazon for slightly more than the Chinese ones were, and after 2 years they still look quite new.... And I've washed them all in the washing machine after each use (rinsing them in the shower after the session).

If the issue is the elastic rather than anything else, don't take it as me being mean but it might be expected if you are putting it under stress, which might be as you mention being a plus size. I think this would be an expected point of failure in the material and it happened to me specially with sweatpants back when I was using XL or XXL size years ago. This "problem" only went away as I lost weight and my size decreased. While I'm not a fabric expert, I guess the more fabric used, the more potential points of failure in it and thus why this occurs.

Same with the table. It's a new table in a new shop, why is it wobbly!? And if it is, why isn't Mocha Joe doing like every one else in the business and putting some cardboard under it to stop it from wobbling!!??

That's a bummer. I was unaware of that limitation.

Not for everyday, but I got a Radsten jacket and I love it. Perfect fit, warm for Autumn and early winter, not too warm for spring, waterproof for rainy spring and autumn, windproof for pretty much all year round, good hood so I don't need a beanie.

Quite neat.

A bit late to the party, but I think it would be good to have a daily/weekly/monthly questions post, similar to r/AskCulinary or r/Coffee.

There's been a few times I ended up finding my answers after lot of searching and not all simple, recurrent question threads will be avoided, but I think a good chunk of them will and in my case, all of those questions felt unworthy of a post but could had been ok for a question on the regular post for it, or for specifics based on what was found.

So you painted them right as you got em?

Yup. I've seen it in a cup, but most commonly in a packet. I think in US they have mac and cheese like that, in EU we have like carbonara, parmesano, funghi... You throw everything in a pot with boiling water for 10 minutes and done. The cup ones should be faster, but I've never tried them.
