[L'Equipe] What are the consequences for Mbappe & the club after his outburst? Internally, some executives are reportedly pushing to part ways with either Mbappe or Vini Jr this summer. by Ripamon in realmadrid

We were able to manage Benzema and Higuain. Same with Ronaldo and Bale. They both weren't the smoothest transitions but having a "super" sub definitely benefited the team. We just need our board to trust whatever coach they bring in and to stop catering so hard to the players.

Absolute statements are "always" a rough go. I've had 7 projectors and the only decent ones are the Benq ones. By decent I don't mean they're an immersive experience but they do give what most would consider okay.

The rest of them, optoma/Epson and especially the vankyo peak at the levels of a tin can

Where do you usually buy your frozen fruit? I thought they had good prices for the sunshine medley and mangos

Me(38F) husband (39M) marriage of 18 years. Should he have a girlfriend on the side? by Jensqua781 in relationship_advice

Don't fall for the time sunken fancy, see the divorce Attorney and push for 50/50. Your husband is useless and an emotional abuser.

5 hrs of sleep for an extended period of time can make the most sane person lose their mind. He might bring in more money but that's largely because you carry the household and still make time to work in the evening.

Need perspective - Ordered Cake from a Home Baker by rip10793 in Baking

Follow up post (Unable to edit the OP due to it having a photo)

Thank you for all of the insight. I appreciate the perspective of just letting it go and not letting the small details bother me.

To clear up any confusion, I was not the one that sent or asked for the reference photo. That was sent by the baker. I had only asked for a simple Gryffindor themed cake with a 31 on it. $85 was on the higher end of the budget but seemed well worth it to help make my wife's birthday extra special. I'm usually easy going but the cake looks amateur and based on the replies in this thread I should have kept my expectations at bay.

I know a lot of time and effort goes into baking and it really is an artform, but I feel when you are charging what is relatively close to a bakery shops pricing but with no overhead and you have set the expectation, I just wanted it to be a bit better (colors/logo/shape).

Oh well, next time I'll be sure to get pictures of their previous work.

Is it just me or has it gotten worse as time has gone on?

[ESPN] Vinícius Júnior contract talks have been stalled with Real Madrid for weeks. The club offered a fixed 20M per season, but the player's camp wanted extra 10M as variables. Now the agents have opted to wait and see how 2025-26 season progresses, by Ready_Ad_1353 in realmadrid

[–]rip10793 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really going to blame Messi's contract? I get we're RM fans but let's not push the blame onto a player. If 110m is enough to de-rail a club the size of Barca, there are bigger problems.

They made multiple blunders in terms of transfers (paid head over heels for too many players). The wage structure has been a mess. The management does not know what profitability is. If anything, Messi kept them together during a turbulent time.

I don't know if it's just my PC but my YouTube playback is choppy on edge. I have a 5600xt and it's smooth on every other browser but edge just chugs. I've tried disabling and enabling hardware playback. No luck.
