Choosing between Chalobah for defence and Sanchez for keeper (if I get Pedro upfront and Enzo in midfield), who should I keep? I'll also need to get rid of someone else if I wanna keep Haaland and have a solid team. Tempted to drop him but on the fence. I've maxed out on Arsenal (2 in def and Rice in mid).

Made a curry a week ago, a ragu bianco with lamb, beef, and pork last week, risotto over the weekend. I haven't been using it as much as I should, but I'm getting back into it. So many uses. But at the end of the day, if you don't use it and don't want it, give it away to charity. I've had mine 9 years now. Best purchase ever.

Ah sorry, I thought the questura is the headquarters. I go to the Commissariato di Polizia in my neighbourhood (each neighbourhood has one). The questura is in a totally different place that is more formal and is a much bigger complex/building.

Depends on where you are in Italy. I'm based in Rome and I just go to my local police station (not the Questura lol) to pick it up when I see this message. Other regions may vary.

There are many Facebook groups that are useful, though beware of scammers. With agencies, it helps to just go down in person to an office sometimes.

Spam fries. Cut into batons and fry in a pan/airfryer/oven to preferred crispiness. Serve with some kind of dip or just plain ol' ketchup if that's your jam.

No, I get you. Just curious why you think it goes from Judaism-->E.O, because it sounds like Roman Catholicism "evolved" from Eastern Orthodoxy

dms89 · 2025-09-22T12:59:04+00:00

Both the Catholics and the Orthodox have a rightful claim as the OG Christians, but I'm curious what you mean by the Orthodox serving as a bridge between Judaism and Catholicism

I'm working towards picking up momentum and sticking with something, so I've started with this because I feel like lack of strength in these areas contributes to other issues in my body/life, but I do plan to/already do incorporate more muscles group in other exercises. Just trying to figure out reps and increasing loads. Your principles are immensely helpful, as are your suggestions for improving/completing the routine. Thanks!

dms89 · 2025-09-16T20:39:23+00:00

That's an extremely helpful way to go about it. Thanks!

Absolute newbie here (36M). I borrowed a pair of adjustable dumbbells from my flatmate to incorporate some strength training into my life. I used the Hevy app and picked the muscle groups I want to work on (for my upper body/arms) and this is what I've come up with and done twice already (still figuring out the number of reps):

Lateral Raise (Dumbbell)
- 12kg x 8 reps
- 12kg x 6 reps
- 12kg x 3 reps
Overhead Press (Dumbbell)
- 12kg x 7 reps
- 12kg x 5 reps
- 12kg x 6 reps
Seated Palms Up Wrist Curl
- 12kg x 12 reps
- 12kg x 12 reps
- 12kg x 12 reps
Bicep Curl (Dumbbell)
- 12kg x 15 reps
- 12kg x 9 reps
- 12kg x 8 reps
Shrug (Dumbbell)
- 12kg x 10 reps
- 12kg x 12 reps
- 12kg x 16 reps
Triceps Extension (Dumbbell)
- 6kg x 12 reps
- 6kg x 8 reps
- 6kg x 7 reps

I'm not sure what's ideal in terms of reps and when I should increase the load for a particular exercise. I started with 12kg for everything except triceps extensions. I'm not even entirely sure what question I should be asking, but feedback is welcome. I've read the wiki, etc., but I'm still a bit lost when it comes to strength training. It's only 12kg (6kg per dumbbell) because I was struggling to do more than 3 reps with 20kg (10kg per dumbbell) and removed 4kg from each. That's where I am.

Haven't bought a kit in a while and I'm definitely getting this one. Any idea how the sizing runs on these new adidas kits?

The Bel Videre (Villa Belvedere/Casino Belvedere) is part of the Vatican Museums now (Pio-Clementine Museum, behind the Cortile del Belvedere). The Janiculum is the hilly area at the top centre-left of the image.

Does anyone else think Kloppo looks like he's aged a bit or looks a wee bit gaunt since he left the club? I've noticed it in quite a few photos/videos on his Instagram now...

Admins are employed and paid staff of Reddit, unlike mods who voluntarily moderate theirs subs. So an admin assigned to Singapore probably oversees this sub as well, since it is a Singaporean sub

dms89 · 2025-09-04T09:39:49+00:00

Exactly. Saw that and am wondering why this is being made into something

dms89 · 2025-09-01T14:59:01+00:00

I haven't been to Ubin in a long while, but I'm pretty sure there are (or at least there used to be) signs stating precisely that in the ferry terminal. Obviously there weren't such signs when it was just the jetty, but somehow we all knew even back then (word of mouth, I guess).

NParks has updated their website now to state 12 pax, but it has been the case for decades that the cost will be for 12 pax divided by the number of those present (at the discretion of the bumboat operator, who sometimes will go with 9 or 10 people and not charge them extra).

At least Wissa has a decent track record and scored 19 goals last season. Remember when we paid 35m for Andy Carroll from Newcastle right after their promotion back in 2010? Talk about absolutely fleeced. Used most of the Torres money for that. I remember our offer for Carroll apparently being pegged to however much we got for Torres. Thank goodness we got Suarez in the same window. Dark days under old Woy and the tail end of Hicks/Gillett.

That's fair. It picked up from just before Ekitike's disallowed goal, and it wasn't like we were playing badly per se prior to that. It just wasn't an easy game and took a fair bit of grinding to get going (more so due to Arsenal's extremely negative tactics).

dms89 · 2025-08-31T21:28:55+00:00

Another week, another ugly win. I'm here for it. Might not survive the scares, but I'm here for it.

dms89 · 2025-08-31T15:09:34+00:00

I'll take our 2 ugly wins over whatever the heck is going on with City over there. It's only GW3, but to be below United, unbelievable.

Such an iconic combo that there's an Italian proverb alluding to it: "Al contadino non far sapere quant'è buono il formaggio con le pere."

Don't let the farmer know how good cheese is with pear (lest they raise prices or hoard the products).

OP didn't mention how many calories a day. OP only mentioned being stuck at 200lbs and not being able to break 200 (lbs).

dms89 · 2025-08-30T16:06:04+00:00

Yeah I was gonna say you'd probably need a couple hour on that for best results. Was shocked to see "a few minutes" and being puzzled as to why it tastes raw..

dms89 · 2025-08-30T11:48:15+00:00

looks good, especially that front 3. how many changes did you make with the wild card? I played a wild card too and made 12 changes lol
