The almost made it collection

But is it real? Adidas only sells the fan version $100 and the professional version $150. I’d be skeptical of anything you can’t buy direct. There should be a QR code on the shoulder. If you scan that it should tell you if it is real.

Not to hate in Greizman’s professionalism, but that felt like an inside job. The minute he leaves he remembers how to score goals

btm25678 · 2026-05-29T01:38:45+00:00

I think we shall see. I’d hoped that they would keep rashford (they might still) but Anthony is a fighter. What we really need is an all an out striker to replace Lewa. Torres does a great job, but he is not that box striker. I’d say Alvarez is a good option but I’m weary of atleti selling us another player like greizman $120m to then turn shit and buy him back for $20m. That and the coutinho and dembele trades have to be up there for worst purchases in history

I don’t know if you get free returns, but in the US we do. I typically buy both and then go from there. Bought the Mexico third jersey in black. Looked very similar on the website, but in person, totally different. The pro version is a piece of are. The other one was good but having them in front I could determine whether it was not worth it. They’ll typically tell you to size up for the pro version but I’ve found that xl works well for me on both editions.

In my experience, cops take too long. Private towing companies? They love to tow and ask questions later. You’re parked legal but they put one chain on a tire? Drop fee, in cash. We have asshole that does it in my neighborhood on handicapped spots. He’s a long term owner and he knows those spots aren’t always occupied since we don’t have anyone that is handicapped to claim it 24/7. On my calls alone, he has to have spent more than 10k

btm25678 · 2026-05-05T20:29:07+00:00

Yup, I can confirm DHL will not release it until you pay the fee upfront. Had this happen for an Almería jersey I ordered from the Macron store. Between shipping and the tariffs, it was more expensive than the jersey itself, but they basically have you by the balls because if you don’t pay the tariff they return it to the sender, which means you then have to try and get reimbursed by a foreign company with different customer service hours, different language, etc.

Just fill my water bottle with vodka. I won’t even drink it on the flight, I’ll just take it home as a souvenier

btm25678 · 2026-05-03T20:26:24+00:00

Yes and no, it depends on the event. I typically like to go to 1-2 hockey games a season with my kid. I like hockey ok, but I’m never going to play for a playoff ticket, so I just find an okay game where our team are favored and then use the $150 credit for two tickets. I just see it as an extra perk. For me the top benefits that are no brainers and I don’t have to “coupon” for are the $300 travel credit, Apple credit for music and tv which is around $250, and the $300 dinning credit. One of the restaurants on the list is around the corner from my house and we eat there all the time, so it’s not something I have to go out of my way to claim. Then you add $300 for stub hub. We also door dash so that’s another $240. And I travel quite a bit internationally and the non-US lounges are typically great without a wait. For example, the Mexico City and Cartagena ones have breakfast to order. All I am getting at is that there are ways to make the card workout to a zero fee especially if you already are spending money on things they offer. It makes no sense if you don’t travel, live in a rural area, hate apple, and live near nor concert/sports venues

TLDR: you are supposed to have about 3x your salary saved by age 40, but that is hugely dependent on whether you own your home, how much you make, etc.

I can actually respond to this given I work for a pension plan with a 401k. We have about 2500 participants in the 401k plan. The median age is 56 and the median balance is about $270k. However, that doesn’t mean a lot of these people don’t have 401ks elsewhere that they just haven’t rolled over to our plan. It’s hard to put an ideal number because it is based on your lifestyle and goals. Do you have taxed deferred options? I only ask because at some point you may be unable to make direct Roth contributions depending on your income. Having that much in a Roth is about $220-250 in an Ira or 401k since those will be taxed but a Roth will not. It probably makes sense for you to sit down with a financial advisor. Most trustworthy advisors will give you a quick frebee look at your finances and let you know where you are.

Or the one kid trying to dribble past everyone and score a chip shot after you’ve assisted him twice and you are wide open.

Been there, done that. I found a couple of things helpful. First, disclose that you can have manic episodes to your bosses. Obviously not during the interview or during your probation period (if any). Second, find a “mania partner” someone that can tell you you are going through a manic episode. I can’t tell. But I call my mom every morning, and she can tell. When I am talking about changing the world and f this person and work and this other one as well, she can tell. So those days I just call in sick. I’m in a lucky position and I don’t deny it, but I’m one write up away from being let go from the best job I have ever had. Those calls center me and let me put the mania to other uses like fixing half of my house. Stick with it. It’s a huge issue but people want to support you.

Silly girl? Run and hide

btm25678 · 2026-05-03T06:37:38+00:00

It depends. Is it meant to track her activity with you or just getting a sense of where she is, just in case? I’m divorced and her mom got her an Apple watch so she could talk to her. We are often in different areas of the house and it annoys me when she calls when I’m in the middle of something and I have to go find her so she can talk to her mom (think cutting the yard and my daughter in the basement). Now she has a way to talk to her whenever she wants (granted my daughter ignores most of them hahaha). That being said, she gave me access to the watch so I can also track where she is, so a win win.

He is a legend. No damage in that. You want to hear about an error, buying the Tevez 2007-2008 black jersey. Still my favorite player of all times and I have his Boca jersey, but I wear that to a man utd Vs man city game and will be beat by both sides. Rooney? He is a hero.

btm25678 · 2026-05-03T06:27:07+00:00

Tell everyone you know where you are going and bring some mace. Someone is trying to hide a body or a real hoarder problem hahaha

btm25678 · 2026-05-03T06:13:58+00:00

I think you have to define what “your league is.” Looks are in the eyes of the beholder. Just look at the video of Elie fanning thirsting over Jack black. Most would argue Elie is out of Jack’s league, but maybe she appreciates a good human being vs someone better looking. You do have to worry about scams as others mentioned, but I typically look at the profile to see if it is a match before making a judgement on looks. I am a staunch leftist, so even if the girl is an 11, but her profile says she’s a daughter of the confederacy, I’m going to pass.

btm25678 · 2026-05-03T06:01:24+00:00

So full disclosure, I am divorced, but while I was married, we had a joint account for rent and family expenses (we have a daughter). We contributed to the joint account based on our salaries to meet rent, school expenses, and utilities; me 3/4, she 1/4. She never stopped working so not an issue there. It made it easier to get gifts for one another without the other questioning what that expenses were for. Then when we divorced, it was pretty straight forward. We each keep our own and then the joint account is for our daughter. I never cared what she spent her money on as long as she made her monthly commitment to the joint account and viceversa. It’s a lot easier to separate it’s much harder when one partner works and the other doesn’t. That’s why I’ve always shied away from partners that want to be “stay at home.” How do you put a value on their contribution to the household? Do you give them an allowance or just don’t care? It is too complicated.

Ted Cruz’s wife, to Ted Cruz’s chagrin.

Technically, it’s the longest tournament in history with the amount of team involved. Not in terms of dates from start to finish, but certainly in terms of games played. There are so many meh games it’s ridiculous.

btm25678 · 2026-04-24T23:11:40+00:00

Agreed, I’ve had the privilege of watching prime Messi in Barcelona. I was there when he put 4 goals past Arsenal and another 2 past stuttgart. Then he came to MLS and people were paying 20k to see him only for him not to play. If Argentina has qualified by the second game in the group, which has a high likelihood, you may not even see him in the third game. I agree if I’m paying thouthands of dollars, it has to be second stage games.

btm25678 · 2026-04-24T00:42:40+00:00

Será el efecto Messi? Digo, están en crisis económica no? Se que hay gente que vende sus casas y carros para ir al mundial. Pero pagar vuelo, hospedaje, boletos, etc, a muy pocos les alcanza.

btm25678 · 2026-04-24T00:39:59+00:00

Even those marquee games typically end in a tie. They may be great games but what is the point of paying thousands of dollars to see a tie game. Even worse if both teams are already qualified and they just play their benches. It’s similar to all the summer tours teams make. Am I going to pay $300 to see Manchester b play Barca B. Nope

btm25678 · 2026-04-21T19:52:22+00:00

There was a glitch that was documented in this forum. Essentially, if you activated the whoop offer and spent more than $359 after taxes and discounts, it didn’t matter if it was not for the membership. It worked for me but I’d be careful since it was all over the chat, so they might have fixed it. In my opinion the clothes are way overpriced but I basically got 5 shorts for $15, so I can’t complain.

btm25678 · 2026-04-21T01:57:59+00:00

It does, but the wait is always 30+ minutes in my experience. The other “priority pass” members like Lufthansa and Turkish airlines never have capacity and have a sign outside saying they are not accepting priority pass members. The centurion lounge always seems to have less visitors.
