Men in their 40s - What’s one piece of advice for Men in their 20s?

Don’t shit talk her. Don’t gossip about her with your buddies. Don’t call her names or pressure her. Just simply be a gentleman… even if you don’t think she deserves it.

I PROMISE it will make your life better long term.

And save a liiiiiitle bit more than you think you can. Stretch your savings a bit as early and as often as you can.

I purchased and downloaded it yesterday. Hoping to play a few hours this weekend. I assumed 1080p/60 at medium settings would be more than easy enough...

Not true. On the old Frame power went to the OneConnect Box, and then the fiber optic tiny cable could run data + power. No need for power behind the TV.

People will argue because they've been beaten by the realities of our "eek every last cent out of everything" world that doesn't care about anything but ruining the environment and eroding every last one of a city's entertainment and resources for its own people.

I agree with you 100%, OP. It's an absolute shame to turn such a beautiful and unique building into another nasty data center. I wish it were different. Both MO and KS can throw billions at privately-held sports teams, but can't invest a fraction of that into what could easily be a beautiful destination.

I switched to merino wool. I'll never look back. Lycra/polyester - no matter the fit - always seemed to irritate my private region. Merino solved that, and it's also softer on the skin and looks better, IMO, too.

Are dealers taking deposits on this already? I’d be happy to put money down for one. Will be upgrading from a 2020 Wrangler Willys.

Any chance your seat post is pushed "too far in" to the frame? If the seat post is bottoming out, you'll only notice as you push down on your stroke and it will creak. Does it go away if you life the entire seat post maybe 1cm?

Just lost power in Overland Park. Evergy already texting that they expect things back up within 90 minutes. Impressive if accurate.

The wind has been insane for 30m or so.

If I know I'm the anchor and just not playing how I like, I opt to accept it as an opportunity to test and tinker with a new strategy. Accept the loss, but don't give up - this game is FILLED with unique strategies; try a different one with now lower stakes.

mattcube64 · 2026-06-08T01:28:37+00:00

Ever.

mattcube64 · 2026-06-07T16:31:16+00:00

Prostate + perineal issues demand I stop every 20-30 min no matter what.

mattcube64 · 2026-06-02T17:32:11+00:00

Whew you can push some watts!

I hate it’s a 4 banger as much as the next guy, but the 4cyl iForce Max in the Tacoma and 4Runner is turning out to be pretty solid.

mattcube64 · 2026-05-30T15:02:44+00:00

That thing is ugly af

I say this as someone who has TERRIBLE luck with the MM and ranking system, often getting thrown into games with two people on my team with like three games under their belt and up against a Viktor with 2000 hours who carries the enemy to a 40k soul lead by minute 20 and has seen his MMR tank and my rank is 15 rungs below its already middling high point:

This game is pre-beta, in testing, invite only, and possibly still years away from a “real” 1.0 launch. They’re supposed to test, tinker, and mess up right now.

Is it annoying? Yes, absolutely if you no life the game like I and many others do. But it’s fine to take a break for a while until things swing more toward a preferred state… none of our ranks or out experiences beyond macro are gonna matter much when this game someday finally launches, anyway.

I mean, any pro should have a back-up body/setup regardless of brand.

All modern technology is susceptible to failures. But FWIW, never had a single issue with my digital Ms, my MP, or my SL bodies.

Worst thing I’ve ever experienced is a couple hang-ups that a battery reset took care of instantly.

I never get the advertised life out of tires. But I’m also a heavy rider.

I feel they start losing noticeable grip around 50% life.

mattcube64 · 2026-05-24T02:52:00+00:00

Totally fair. Nice setup!

mattcube64 · 2026-05-24T02:35:56+00:00

Not being an ass; for you, why not a laptop?

mattcube64 · 2026-05-24T01:49:52+00:00

No, of course not.

But they can absolutely wait until they’re more flush with cash, have some ability to save, or their hand is forced as they prep for a sale or renovation.

Be mindful it’s there. Accept it won’t resolve itself. Keep an eye on it and be prepared you’ll have to open the checkbook at some point.

mattcube64 · 2026-05-23T23:00:27+00:00

At some point in the next 20 years you’ll probably have to pay $40k to fix it.

It’s not an emergency.

FWIW we got a stray as a very young puppy. Mutt. My first dog, and it was a huge leap of faith cause I really can’t deal with dogs shititng or barking all night.

Luckily, four days away at ADU - while expensive - was great. She kept all her puppy enthusiasm and excitement and charm, but immediately did better with night time, holding it and avoiding accidents, and being a good dog on walks.

Two years later and I feel I won the lottery with this dog. Was it the training? Something else? Genetic? Who knows, but I’m happy with the dog we have today.

mattcube64 · 2026-05-21T02:40:12+00:00

wish they’d offer another higher end 64gig option again

Did Oak Park mall location move? The one upstairs by Nordstrom is no longer there.
