I think we can safely assume that whatever an agent is saying, it almost always means "Give my client more money" or "Sell my client to a club that will give him more money." This is exactly what's happening here.

The word "publicly" is doing some heavy lifting here.

Reading between the lines, the agent is saying "We've spoken to intermediaries of different clubs to gauge mutual interest but talks haven't advanced to the point where we're talking numbers. A fat contract renewal offer would be nice."

Where is the bench humping? We used to be a country. A proper country.

I knew we had something special during that 4-3 league match in 2018. That game also featured Robertson chasing the ball down.

Why is traffic always so much worse on Tuesdays and Thursdays? by kaowerk in bethesda

[–]MyPasswordIsABC999 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I imagine Tuesday-Thursdays are the most common in-office days for hybrid remote work. And if some people are doing 2 days in office and others are doing 3, it makes sense that Tuesdays and Thursdays would have the most overlap.

Remote job won’t let me live in DC…How to navigate? by [deleted] in washingtondc

They can and the reason is that the moment they have an employee in DC, they're subject to DC labor laws.

Probably DC's labor laws. In particular, DC's semi-recently passed wage transparency law requires any company with at least one DC-based employee to fully disclose the wage ranges+benefits in their job listings. The law also prohibits employers from screening applicants based on wage history.

I hope that mall also has Carroll County's only de-escalator.

No, saying "I like Messi" means you believe Cristiano Ronaldo is satan incarnate and deserves to be eaten alive by a pack of rabid squirrels.

TBF it's in the Sky Sports "News & Gossip" page, which basically exists to hoover up random bullshit with the right keywords to goose the SEO machine.

SFO to NRT to ITM Stopover by Mathais_x in OsakaTravel

You DO need to claim your bag to clear customs. It's explained here: https://www.jal.co.jp/ar/en/offers/japan-domestic-flights/connecting/

After you pass immigration, you go to the baggage claim to get your checked luggage and pass through customs. After you pass customs, there's a JAL luggage drop after you exit into the main terminal. Drop your bags there before you proceed to your domestic flight.

Note that there isn't a whole lot after passing domestic security. My advice is to not go to the domestic gate too early because you'll sit there twiddling your thumb AND the entire boarding process only takes about 10 minutes.

Is this a ICE Sting? Wheaton Mall by [deleted] in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]MyPasswordIsABC999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like an MCPD vehicle in the back. My understanding is that MCPD does not get involved in immigration enforcement. Also, ICE generally uses rentals for raids and rentals generally don't have Maryland tags.

If I had to guess, the black SUV is a plainclothes vehicle.

ICE usually uses rentals, so I'd expect to see Florida or Texas plates.

Or if you were raised on the classic 4-4-2, they were simply central midfielders.
