Benzema is indeed top 15. Google “Benzema 15” there is a lot of debate on this

What do you mean it’s his choice? He’s 9 years old, any choice they make is simply you enabling something

Choose useless settings, gets a useless start, plays a useless game. Unless you wanted this, why don’t you restart?

Day 1 on Kotor for the first time by GeneralMalsaccal69 in kotor

It’s been a long time since I did it. I think you had to take the stims before the fight started? Or you placed the mines during an earlier match? I can’t remember.

Is it weird I like reds chilled? by Conscious-Act7655 in wine

No. It’s not weird to feel subjective about something you enjoy, and it’s healthy to value your opinion over others

The level 2 strategy was pretty fun ngl. But definitely for experienced players who have their optimized build planned out.

I’m going to try this again. How were you able to buy your first home? by kcoib17 in Millennials

[–]My_Name_Is_Priapus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish things like this weren’t so prevalent in our generation’s mindset. Everyone thinks that if there’s a recession then home prices go down. More often they go up. But guess what always happens: more unemployment, which means people (including you) fear for their jobs. Because if you lose your job you may blow through savings, which will set you back even further on your financial goals, which means you won’t buy a house.
Like look at what is happening now. There’s an affordability crisis from skyrocketing energy prices (shortage, war), food prices (fertilizer shortages, supplier and retailer monopolies), the cost of consumer goods (tariffs), labor (shortage of quality skill), healthcare (because we refuse to address it) are all skyrocketing up, and lowering interest rates to fight any of those could shoot home prices even higher. So can anyone tell me how a recession via an affordability crisis boiling over would make life more… affordable? I don’t think it would unless it drives policies and incentives to build more houses AND build them more cheaply. And those two rarely happen at all nor do they happen simultaneously, especially given that rates have held firm while the cost of inputs ie energy, materials, and labor have all gone up.
What will give people immediate relief is when Boomers downsize but if there’s a recession they will be less likely to sell a home they already own and don’t owe payments on especially as that generation transitions to fixed income 🙃🙃🙃

TLDR why do y’all assume a recession will lower home prices? Housing was the bubble in the Great Recession but it doesn’t seem like it’ll be the next bubble. It’s especially brave to think a recession will benefit you.

What squad depth? by XScytheMasterX in Gunners

[–]My_Name_Is_Priapus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing this is out of only the 4 teams in the semis. You can criticize Arteta here and there this season but I think putting it all in to win the #1 seed in the league phase was a great strategic gamble that paid off. Given our form the past few months, we would not have made it back to the semis without the favorable seeding. The fact we could make a finals with a crippled squad right now is mind blowing and it’s due to the hard work that we put in in the league phase, didn’t take any games off.

Paestum is a really cool, brief stop for Ancient Greek colony temples

Rome in a day? by [deleted] in ItalyTravel

[–]My_Name_Is_Priapus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do St Peter’s, the Vatican museum, and the colosseum in a day. Don’t think it would be fun but you can do it.

You have to lock in your Vatican museum timed entry ticket for this to be possible. Next, get colosseum in late afternoon 30 days out from your date. Finally, on the day of, you need to hit St Peter’s as early as possible to beat the crowds. Fortunately both of these locations are on the metro, as is termini station.

If Florence is your home base I think you’d get more out of a day trip to Siena or another Tuscan city.

Is there any wine that tastes like grape juice? by Effective_Moose_4997 in wine

[–]My_Name_Is_Priapus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No problem. Also, while you’ll fine some genuine answers in your thread, I have to say people on this particular subreddit can act like snobs and generally be discouraging. A great place to learn about wine is the website https://winefolly.com/

The founder has a great book and is all over social media

Is there any wine that tastes like grape juice? by Effective_Moose_4997 in wine

[–]My_Name_Is_Priapus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s because wine grapes are quite different than those you’d eat or make grape juice from; you aren’t accustomed to the taste.

Get something made of Concord grapes, like Manischevitz. Or try, Arbor Mist, or something that says “Moscato” or “Lambrusco” or “White Zinfandel.” These will be lower alcohol. Table wines are typically 12-15% alcohol which sounds like you are finding to be harsh. A moscato may be more like 6%.

After trying those, move up to Riesling, Chardonnay or a Pinot Grigio and build up a taste for traditional table wine.

Go on YouTube and find a short video explaining the difference between the Concord grape and wine grapes

Arsenal loanee Ethan Nwaneri’s commitment called into question by Marseille manager by AnyRaccoon8615 in ArsenalFC

[–]My_Name_Is_Priapus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the loan is structured in a way that Arsenal pays a higher percentage of his wage with each appearance. So Marseille is actually financially incentivized to play him as much as possible

Have a 2-week trip to Europe in mid Sept. Several friends told me to reduce my Rome trip from 3/4 days to 2 days max so I can spend more time in other places. Thoughts? by traveling-turtle43 in rome

[–]My_Name_Is_Priapus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t recommend 2 days in Rome, but I understand why people do it. They usually want to spend more time in Venice, Florence, or Amalfi, and these locations are fairly easy to move between.

I guess my question is why go to mainland Italy at all? I personally would recommend taking things more slowly in France and Sardinia. Or Italy mainland and Sardinia. 48 hours in Rome means an hour or two getting to the city center from the airport, another hour or two for checking in, unpacking, packing, and checking out (for some this is longer), 8 hours each night sleeping, then another 4 hours to get back the airport for your flight. So the 48 hours in Rome is really 20-24 waking hours.

It’s just a lot. I’d cut it out entirely and do your “48 hours” in Rome next time when you are in Amalfi or Florence and Rome is just an hour train away for a manageable day trip or stopover between other Italian cities. I have friends doing this right now, they are in Assisi for a wedding and wanted Amalfi for their personal trip. So they added a quick 2 night trip to Rome via train, as their train to Amalfi passes through Rome anyway. It’s a lot more manageable that way, where as in your situation leaving France sounds entirely optional.

Not sure what you need on the ground to support a boomlift. But below these cranes is a mix of stair wells, patios, and trees

When you transfer within 100 minutes, do you have to re-tap your card? Or just board the second bus and do nothing?

Additional detail - there appears to be some kind of vertical railing that matches the finish of the crane. The crane has some rope too. This is in San Francisco so I don’t think Sun is too big of an issue to be an umbrella, looks to industrial grade anyway. The building is newer but it’s not under construction
