I am a white belt training five days a week and currently on a gi that's starting to show real wear at the collar and shoulders after about eighteen months. Looking to replace it and set a $150 ceiling for myself because I refuse to pay shoyoroll prices for something I'm going to grind into the mat daily.

What's actually held up for people at that price point? I care most about collar durability because mine always goes soft first, and sleeve length consistency because I've had gis that shrink unevenly after washing.

Since having my baby six months ago, my skin has completely changed. It’s dull, textured, and I’ve developed some patchy melasma on my cheeks and upper lip. I want to cover it, but full coverage makes me feel like I’m wearing a mask, and I'm honestly too tired to do a 10-step routine.

Hi guys, I am wondering : what is your experience overall using exodus to swap cryptos?

I'm having a good amount of BTC to swap to USDT, swapped some it took a while and was expensive, scared to do more as it's not directly inside my wallet as far i understand.

Please share your experience, curious to hear about it.

We use the HubSpot Chrome extension across the whole sales team and it does a great job logging our emails into the CRM automatically. Our problem is that it doesn't log our activity on LinkedIn (and that's where we spend most of our time). So right now we don't have data like connection requests, messages etc in HubSpot and it's quite annoying. Is there something similar that works the same way as the HubSpot Chrome extension but for LinkedIn? Thx

I work in curriculum development and my observation is that the volume of options has exploded but the quality variance is enormous, there's a big difference between platforms that are genuinely good pedagogically and platforms that are good at looking good on landing pages. Im curious if parents or educators have noticed the same thing from the inside.

Getting burned by natural cosmetics marketing enough times eventually teaches you to evaluate differently. Words like natural, clean, and non toxic on packaging stopped meaning anything to me years ago. What I look for now is specific: does the brand hold a recognized third-party certification, can I verify what their standards actually require, and does the product perform well enough that I'd use it without the clean credential.

That last point matters more than people talk about. A natural cosmetics brand that makes products you stop using because they don't perform isn't actually solving the problem. You need both.

Shortlist criteria: NSF/ANSI 305 or Ecocert certified, no synthetic fragrance, a base formula that's genuinely natural rather than conventional with botanical additions, and performance that holds up on its own merits. By those criteria the list of brands worth recommending is genuinely short.

I've done this twice now. Not because I wanted to but because the bank I was on stopped working for where the business was at.

First time was moving off a credit union to Novo. Credit union was fine when I had ten transactions a month but once I needed real digital features and faster ACH it just couldn't do it. I had to go into a branch to open the account which should tell you everything. Switch took about a week of active stuff and another week running both at the same time.

Second was Novo to Relay. Novo worked for simple stuff but once I needed to track money for different purposes in the business the one account thing wasn't enough anymore. About the same timeline to switch.

Opening the credit union account took three days with the branch visit. Novo was maybe 20 minutes online. Relay was about 15 minutes. Getting all my ACH connections moved over was about two weeks each time, mostly waiting on the other end to process.

Switching banks sounds like a big deal and it kind of isn't. Both times it was like two weeks of mild annoyance and then I was done and wondering why I waited.

She's social and she loves doing things with other kids which makes me think group but she also gets easily embarrassed if she's the only one who doesn't understand something which makes me think 1:1 lol. Has anyone had to navigate this with a kid who's both social and sensitive?

Looking at the io 7 vs the pro 1000 and the price gap is significant for what looks like the same fundamental brush. The dentist nudged me toward an electric in general but didnt have a strong opinion between models. For people running the io series, is the pressure sensor and the app stuff actually useful or marketing fluff. And any coupons that worked on the io or on the refill brush heads because the heads are where they get you long term.

I am considering converting a few BTC to WBTC to stake. Theorically WBTC is better because I can also earn passive income while 'holding my keys' which is what i'm trying to understand:

Is this custodial? more risky or same as USDT? Was there any freeze or issue on it by past?

I'm producing a campaign for a consumer brand that has two distinct content needs: formal corporate interview content for their investor and B2B communications and lifestyle brand content for their consumer marketing, and I'm trying to figure out whether to find one production company that can handle both or two separate companies that specialize in each.

The case for one company: consistency, simpler vendor management, potentially better understanding of the overall brand across all content types.

The case for two companies: each type of content has a genuinely different visual language and approach and a company that excels at one doesn't always do the other well, a great corporate interview company can produce very stiff lifestyle content and a great lifestyle company can produce very flat corporate interviews.

Chicago market specifically, does anyone have experience with companies that genuinely do both well rather than just saying they do?

I love my freckles, but I also have some redness and uneven skin tone. If I wear foundation to fix the redness, it covers my freckles and makes my face look flat. If I wear nothing, I look splotchy. How do I even out my skin without erasing my freckles?

Is anyone else kind of overwhelmed by how many parts a solar battery setup apparently requires? I've watched probably six tutorials trying to figure this out and every single one of them starts with a list that includes a charge controller, an inverter, the actual panels, a deep cycle battery, the right gauge wiring, the connectors, and then a separate thing to monitor it all. One guy's parts list was fourteen items long. I just want to charge my phone and run a small cooler on a weekend trip, I'm not trying to build a tiny power grid from scratch.

Is there something simpler that actually exists, or is the YouTube tutorial route just the only way to do this and I need to accept it and start watching more videos?
