Everyone i know who follows f1 has mixed feelings about hungary. some say its a boring track to watch live, others swear by the budapest experience making up for it. Thinking of going this summer but cant decide if its worth the money. Also where should I buy tickets since I missed the official sale.
I’ve had brooklinen luxe sateen sheets for a little over a year and they’re already pilling and the elastic on the fitted sheet is going. Kind of disappointed for what they cost. Looking for something with that crisp hotel bed feel. King size, ideally not $300+. I keep seeing Boll & Branch and Parachute recommended but their reviews seem mixed lately too. What are people actually happy with long term?
My single day rides have been getting longer lately, and turns out the real problem isn’t my legs, it’s battery. I’ve got a Garmin on the handlebars recording the whole ride, the iPhone 17 coming out now and then to check the route, and earbuds draining too. By the end of the day all three are taking turns hitting low battery, and something always dies before I make it home.
I used to bring two little power banks to handle them separately, but my bag just turned into a mess of cables, digging around forever to figure out which one charges what.
So how do you all handle keeping everything charged on a full day out? Bring one big bank to cover everything, or just give up on one of the devices?
i just bought my first washer like 6 weeks ago (used, from facebook marketplace) and the guy said it was fine but it smells kind of musty already and my clothes dont always smell totally clean when they come out. so i figured ok i need to actually clean this thing.
but then i googled it and now im completely lost. there are tablets, liquids, powder stuff, things that go in the drum, things that go in the detergent tray, some people say use vinegar and baking soda, others say that actually wrecks the machine. i dont know who to believe and i dont want to mess up a washer i just paid money for.
im not looking for a deep dive into washing machine chemistry or whatever, i just need someone to point me at one thing that actually works and wont cause problems. whats the best washing machine cleaner for someone who literally just wants to sort this out and move on with their life?
fr tho, trying to follow 104 matches this year is a full on mission. every game feels like a struggle. juggling different sign-ins, dealing w/ sketchy official sites, and just way too much tracking/ads, what’s ur “peace of mind” setup for the rest of the world cup? i’m tired of the tab chaos and just want to focus on the football without 5 paid tools stitched together lol.
I knew parking would be the annoying part. Did not realize fresh water and gray water would become the thing I think about every two days like some kind of boring survival game. I’m in a small Promaster setup, no black tank, just a 7 gal gray jug under the sink and two water cans. Easy enough until you’re in a town where every gas station bathroom has a taped-up “employees only” sign and the one campground nearby doesn’t let non-guests use anything. I’ve been keeping random notes in my phone like “city park spigot behind tennis courts, probably don’t use after dark” which feels insane, dumpscout has been useful for actual dump/water spots, but I still wish more places listed whether they’re cool with small gray tanks or only big RV sewer hose setups. Not really a crisis, just one of those unglamorous van things nobody puts in the tour videos.
My 16year-old has started saying they’re in one place, then I find out later they were somewhere else. It’s happened a few times now, and I’m not sure how to handle it. I’ve been reading about different phone trackers, and umobix cell phone tracker was one of the options I came across. I’m still not sure if using something like that would help or just make things worse. For parents who’ve dealt with this, did tracking help, or did it just create more arguments? I’m just trying to keep them safe without completely losing their trust.

I bought my just retired dad a goat O1200 robot mower as father’s day gift. He was skeptical at first, but few days later he changed his mind. Now he’ll stand by the door with his coffee and watch it working like it’s part of his routine. He even sent me a video the other day saying the edges looked clean, and it seemed to manage the flower pots and trees also fine so far.
Yesterday he asked if we should give it a name. So yeah, I think this little machine ranks higher than me in my dad’s heart now lol.
I’ve been on Mounjaro for a while now and overall it’s been really effective for weight loss, but I keep running into the same concern that comes up in a lot of discussions around these meds which is muscle loss.
From what I understand, it’s not really that Mounjaro directly causes muscle loss, but more that appetite drops so much that it becomes hard to consistently hit protein and maintain strength training volume. Still, I’ve seen people say they noticed strength drops or a softer look even when the scale is moving in the right direction.
I’m trying to be more intentional about it now and focusing on protein intake and lifting, but I’m curious what others are doing in real life that actually helps prevent muscle loss while staying on Mounjaro long term.
Has anyone here found a routine or approach that really made a difference in preserving muscle while still losing weight?
I’m helping my parents plan a luxury Alaska cruise for 2027. They’re in their 60s, active, and enjoy good food, service, and interesting destinations, but they have zero interest in nightlife, casinos, or big production shows.
Right now we’re looking at Silversea, Seabourn, and Regent. They like the idea of smaller ships and fewer crowds, but I’m struggling with how much weight to give the itinerary versus the cruise line itself.
For those who have done Alaska, how important is Glacier Bay? Would you choose an itinerary with Glacier Bay over a better cruise line that doesn’t include it?
And between Silversea, Seabourn, and Regent, which would you pick for a quieter, more destination-focused Alaska experience?
Would love to hear from anyone who’s sailed Alaska on one of these lines.

Today was slightly harder. I expected some contact but partner didn’t reach out. But I didnt spiral like I used to. I just gave alternative explanations that had no relation to me. I also realised that it’s probably more of withdrawal symptoms than anything else, as I was talking to my partner almost everyday in the past one year.
Context: In a relationship for one year. Very fragile rn. Almost ruined by my extreme anxious attachment. Open to questions.
I have decided to post my daily progress (I’ve already started making some) and how I’m doing it.
The idea of secure started for my partner but I’ve been realising how much my anxiety was affecting my life. So now, I’m working on becoming secure for myself, whether or not my partner is there in my life.
Today I have been sick, couldn’t move much and had less stuff to do. My partner hasn’t reached out today. I checked my phone a couple of times, but I return back to reality. I don’t see it as a rejection of me or decide the verdict of the relationship. In my head, he could be busy or confused about things between us or just need space. None of that says anything about me. So I’m not spiralling.
I’m also applying the same principle to my family (the source of my anxious attachment). Their demeanour/words are their frustration being projected on me, it says nothing about me.
So day 1, pretty much a success.

This is going to be long. Please bear with me.
​
I broke up with someone in 2025 who was extremely toxic. Multiple infidelity cases, body shaming, gaslighting, physical, verbal and financial exploitation etc. Basically, you name it, and I'm certain that I'll have some traumatic incident to share about it.
​
We were in touch till 2025 mid. We had broken up months ago. I met someone else few weeks before we stopped talking. And I'm in a relationship with this new person since then. 1 year has passed to this new relationship.
​
This relationship became very serious very soon. Not in a butterflies-instant chemistry kind of way, but more like it feeling like a "home". Needless to say,it has been a "boring" relationship.
​
But I hadn't recovered from the trauma of my ex. And I never healed/processed, which lead me to develop extreme anxious attachment. Everything my ex did, in any situation even remotely similar with my current, I just projected on him. I was shit scared about history repeating again. I wanted reassurance all the time. He became the centre of my world. His mood/replies etc dictated my day.
​
In the meantime, i had also quit my job for something else which is very uncertain. Im still in its process. Plus, my family is heavily dysfunctional and rn Im financially dependent on them (though I live few kilometres away from them). I was constantly stressed about this too and I became really dependent upon him. I stopped sitting with myself to regulate my emotions and dumped everything on him and expected him to leave everything and cater to me (that he did also almost always).
​
But it wasn't just this. My anxiety got immensely better out of me and I was so scared about getting cheated on again that I made infidelity jokes in order to "sabotage the relationship" so that I can exit before he can betray me.
​
In short, I colored all his neutrals with my trauma. In hindsight, there was nothing he did even remotely similar to my ex. He has been an amazing partner for most.
​
But since two months ago, his emotional capacity has been almost reduced to nil. He had been suppressing throughout the year, and now he's lashing out about how much he suffered here.
​
Let me list everything he has mentioned:
​
● Was always possessive about me. He also felt scared that I might cheat. But I made many cheating jokes (jokes about cheating on him). I met people I had a history with. I stalked my ex on social media. I lied to him about blocking someone he had asked me to. I lied to him about informing an old fling about him. I made up stories about other men to get a reaction our of him. He never crossed any such boundary.
​
(None of the above was done because I was interested in any one else. I really don't know why I did all of this, I was just so scared and anxious all the time)
​
● I'd drag calls endlessly for hours. He had to take most of such calls standing outside, throughout the night. He had cramped time afterwards for his assignments, ppts, etc. (He's pursuing his masters rn)
​
● Most of the calls above were me shouting on him on the smallest of stuff. (Nitpicking, in other words)
​
● He missed many college events because I was in need. He said he didn't mind missing them if I was in need but if I fought on those calls also, he couldn't take it.
​
● He never felt acknowledged for his efforts.
​
● He complained that I never asked him about the stuff that he was compromising to keep me sane.
​
I had a mental health breakdown in these two months coincidentally (I have a huge history with depression). I again depended on him but by now he had become so consumed in his own misery that there was simply zero empathy. I also went to rehab for a week. His behaviour was horrible towards me, the only reason I took it was because I understood where he was coming from and realised I may have lashed out long back if I was in his place.
​
I've been constantly working towards secure attachment. I'm feeling much better after my rehab too. I'm making progress. Slow and steady.
​
We are not speaking a lot lately. He keeps saying that he wants to be alone, wants his autonomy etc and is very scared that all of this will repeat in the future. But he's not cutting me off. He keeps in touch.
​
I, on the other hand, want to respect his choice, but I'm not fully secure yet. So sometimes I still contact him out of anxiety. I'm trying to work on this immensely and I'm making good progress.
​
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I have also been feeling that when he's overwhelmed, he doesn't care at all about me (this lashing out thing has happened twice before too. Though this time it has been happening since two months). So I have my doubts regarding whether he's truly reliable in ugly life circumstances. But then I also feel whether this is the right situation to evaluate his reliability.
​
Our last call was constructive. We may speak/meet post a few days. He asked me if I can make changes wrt regulating my emotions and making space for him to live his life without the pressure of constantly managing me. I told him I've been trying. I don't know what his decision is going to be, let's see.
​
What I'm wanting to know is, what am I supposed to do here now? I'm actively working on myself, whether or not he's there in my life anymore but I also have this doubt about his reliability so I am questioning whether I'm supposed to continue this or not.
​
We have both loved each other a lot. I know a lot of you are going to call me a b*tch for above but I've loved him with all my heart, innocence and purity. So has he. Hence the loss does feel magnanimous. :(
This is going to be long. Please bear with me.
