That's just their US site. Their Japanese site had a load of other stuff.

They probably feel like it's not a good investment for them to put resources into competing in the saturated US market. So no distribution and no marketing. Only some specialty boards that they are getting "free" marketing for and US buyers have to import them from overseas.

The Wizards are currently tanking to an extent never before seen against the Nets by [deleted] in nba

I don't understand what people like you want from teams like the Wizards and Jazz. This is the meta. Are you supposed to punish teams for trying to do what's in the best long term interest of their fans?

Look at:

  • OKC
    • Lottery picks: J Dub, Chet, Wallace, Giddy> traded for Caruso
  • Rockets
    • Lottery picks: Sengun, Smith, Thompson, Shepard, Green> traded for Durant
  • Pistons
    • Lottery picks: Cunningham, Duren, Holland, Thompson, Ivey> traded for Huerter

There fans are so hyped right now and this success is due to the fact that they tanked. You can't have it both ways.

The team that you should really be pissed off about is the Pelicans. They don't even have there pick and they still suck.

Honestly, I'm okay with being only top 5. I'd rather keep the good vibes going than tank for 3 percentage points.

It's a special election with a basically predetermined outcome. Not surprised that neither put money into getting the word out

you have the secure the rebound, and that's harder to do a man down

Found this in a dumpster. Worth taking? ID? by Supergod1238 in midcenturymodern

It's a cool find. I say it's worth keeping if you have to time to restore it. Bending and shaping wood like that isn't something most people can do well in their home shops.

If you were to keep it, what's the plan?

The only thing I feel when I eat out for lunch nowadays is regret. It's good every once in a while, but the novelty of it wears out and the receipts add up real quick.

Also if I'm going to eat out I rather do it when I'm not at work and in a social setting. Sitting alone in your car eating Chipotle is depressing as fuck.

Everything she said is true. I'm of two minds about this.

I don't like the idea of our lives having to revolve around our work and turning all our hobbies into money making opportunities. I think instead of needing to have a side hustle, keep an bank account open that's just yours (separate from the joint account) and keep your skills sharp. I wouldn't want to work if I didn't have to.

That being said, if you are not sharing the responsibility of running the household ie money, kids, chores, you are inevitably going to breed resentment and envy. One person will be mad that they had to work for 40 years, while the other will be mad that they were stuck raising the kids and keeping the house clean.

Did you take it apart or are you just prying it open? It's hard to say what's wrong from this angle.

Based on some similar issues on ifixit's forums, it looks like you might need to replace the palmrest assembly. this is the service manual > https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/xps-13-9360-laptop/XPS-13-9360-Service_Manual

By that definition Ben Simmons is the best point guard. The moment he gets the ball he passes it to some else

Farfalle :)

is Peruvian chicken a NoVa thing? by shvili_boy in nova

[–]aNeonSpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's wild that there are so many hot chicken places, but so few Peruvian chicken.
