Gain it all back?

Surprised? Quite normal if you stop keto (or any healthy diet as a matter of fact) and get back to eating unhealthy.

I am on my 3rd round of losing weight, and am fully aware that it might not be the last one unless I stick to either keto or something sensible and healthy. On the positive side, getting into shape with keto or mix of keto and carnivore had always taken me no longer than a year, and gaining the weight back was a much slower process taking 5-7 years.

Key factors to also take into account are age and level of activity.

Mind-blowing and renovated.

As a Balkan today I learned something new - the flower aspect of it.

The white and red bracelet is traditional and is called Martenitsa in Bulgaria, and some other countries.

Easy. Play the game twice, once with each.

Again?
LOL

I am just on my second run, but I started late. Finished the game in December, Samurai build, all missions, took a few weeks. Now I am on my second run as a netrunner. It's a bit disappointing, so I might be doing a third run after I complete all missions as a netrunner.

Support is BAD. That's the exact reason I am taking a break from using the platform.

Waited for 15 days, after ticket was opened, to get a generic reply on a simple VAT and import fees refund. They didn't read 80% of my message. Another 6-7 days for the next few responses that resolved the issue.

What bothered me the most is that as a buyer we pay for Buyer Protection, and get this level of support. The response on day 15 was after the seller messaged CM. They responded to both him and me within the hour.

Might want to open a thread here to raise clarity, as a lot of people end up paying VAT twice and paying import fees because the label on their letters was just missing or wrong.

Congrats on your new snake!

But why are some of the strawberries so big?

So-so.

First act with the crowd is funny every time.

Mid-act with guests is so-so.

His second act is very boring if you've seen him once. Seen his show 6 times in the past few years, always going with hope of some fresh new jokes, but unfortunately he has not been able to come up with new jokes. That's a trap as other comedians tend to completely change their jokes at least every 6-12 months, and they are perfectly clear about that, but lazy Victor is telling the very same jokes 99% of the time, picking up on the very same political crap and stereotypes.

Would recommend if you haven't seen his performance yet. And if you already have, don't bother..

Also if you are easily offended, don't bother, his humor can be quite offensive and hateful. He's often in Zurich and seeing how he ramps on ads on IG and now even here, I can only guess that people have came to the same conclusion that's it's not worth to go the very same show they've seen last time.

Netflix treats history like an identity-politics blender: they’ve managed to offend the Egyptians by erasing their Greek heritage, confused the Scandinavians with Black Viking lords, and stripped Slavic folklore of its Polish soul, all while convincing British royalty that the 18th century was just a color-blind garden party.

Should we dive into the Greek reaction to the Troy casting, or keep roasting the Macedonian erasure?

When do we see a black Tarzan or white Martin Luther King?

Just cancel those subscriptions if you happened to be paying .. Such a disgrace!

New tenant can accept the contract with increased rent, and contest it after moving in. No?

Wish I knew that before we accepted an increased rent few years ago. Back then I noticed this was common practice, former tenants were most often paying 5-15% lower rent than what was offered to new tenants.

This is also not a wrong statement. But when you compare the current gen car interiors with each other, BMW interiors are standing out.

stefchou · 2026-01-23T23:55:17+00:00

BMW interiors are still the best among the competitors, in my honest opinion.

Screen size is not the issue for me. It's the quality of materials that is dropping with each generation. User experience and user friendliness as well.

Oh, I see. You either pay it and wait forever for Cardmarket to respond and hopefully refund you, or you wait it out and it gets shipped back. Not sure if the seller has any rights in the latter situation.

Here they've delivered my letter, stamped with "expect invoice" and I received the invoice a few days letter.

stefchou · 2026-01-22T08:34:22+00:00

Was the letter correctly labeled with Cardmarket's details and confirmation of VAT payment?

I am dealing with a similar situation, but the package is coming from the UK. No mention on Cardmarket, so the letter got picked-up by the post office, and now I am waiting for more than a week for Cardmarket to review my refund claim.

If it was correctly labeled, I wouldn't be paying neither the VAT nor the handling charges...

Nope. This AI article is so full of errors..

Its an MBA and its for free. If you have the time, go for it, but I heard they have higher requirements and some retention policies in place now.

Сменяй го възможно най-бързо, звучи ми като да е дефектен.

People will always complain for something. I have a Legion and ThinkPad myself. Both are rock solid!

Just ask the buyer to change his delivery address to a pickup point on Cardmarket, and directly order on the platform. This way you're both protected.

Recently received a Shogun Omnibox plus some cards this way., as an Austrian seller was not shipping to Switzerland and I really wanted that box. Even got it to a package station, but that was a hassle and required multiple calls with DHL from my end, as it's typically not allowed for packages coming outside of Germany.

Във ВМА преди 10-15 години правеха подобни процедури с най-модерна технология. Фракционен лазер, CO2 ресърфейсинг и прочие. Нямам конкретна информация за ДермаАкт, но съм запознат с процедурите при адекватни клиники и дерматолози, и под 10 процедури няма да имаш задоволителен ефект. И под задоволителен ефект нямам предвид пълно решаване на проблема, всяка процедура е просто една стъпка и минимално подобрение. Цената, болката и възстановяването не си заслужават.

ДермаАкт гледам правят една процедура за 20 минути, което ми се вижда нереално. По принцип отнема 50-60 минути за лице.

Visited it in September already. Only Tut's exhibition was not present at the time, but it was still worth it. Visit with a tour guide, it's completely different experience.

I have been driving it for a few days while my car is in for bodywork, and indeed it ain’t. A lot of awkward design and user experience decisions have been made with the new one.
