This is what I have to work with at the moment. Im using the wiki and looking through stuff and completely lost. What would be a good regime to do and build off of? I want to build everything and not just my arms.
I make steaks for the family all the time on the stove and pan fry them. But I always run into a problem. How do I get them to cook to rare/medium rare. And not burn the outside while doing so and having it be raw, or getting the perfect sear then it being overcooked in the middle.
Can I use a meat probe I have? Or what am I doing wrong.
I use avocado oil.
I listen to my music from Qobuz and Tidal. Planning on getting a USB-C dongle and maybe a nano amp later on.
I listen to a ton of music every decade, and different genres. I'm so torn on which to choose. The 660s2 sounds like I would like it more from what I read, I love being to hear each instrument more vs the vocal being the main thing. But then I heard that the music stage on the 650 is better?
I mainly listen to Elton John, The Beatles and their solo work, and music like that.
Help me decide. I see a lot of people say the 650 is better for music but then when someone says the 660s2 is better they have some good points.......
I have Qobuz on my Galaxy S26 which both support the highest music quality it provides, so I would want them to be able connect via USB-C. Would also love for it be able to be wireless if need be? But it is not a must.
I want them only for music and nothing else, from my research I found that headphones specifically open back will sound the best. Right now I use my Galaxy Buds 4 pro.
I mainly listen to Elton John, The Beatles, and similar artist like them. I was looking at the SENNHEISER HD 599, HD 600, or HD 650 since they are on sale for around my preferred price range. Or the FiiO FT1 Pro Open-Back.
But I figured there might be better brands and people that know more than I do.
Edit: I was looking also at the FiiO FT1 but its closed back. And from what I read, closed back is not great for music. Is that true?
Saw him in Hershey. It seems like he sang live, but with how fast he was going and quick the lyrics are. Does he lip sync at all during the show?
Longest set list in a looooong time. Played from 740 to 11... CRAZY GOOD! What a treat!!

Any idea of what time they will start selling merch early from the trailers in Hershey?
Any idea when they will start selling merch from the trailers before the show?
Does anyone know how much the dealer charges for these? I lost mine somehow and love having it just in case.
I read the dealer should be able to get one with the VIN number but I can't find out the cost..
Thanks!
We have Fastbridge and it has been down since about 4 in the morning.
I saw reports that the state might have an outage?
Anyone else with a different fiber provider out?
This may seem a little odd to ask here. Right now I am in the process of getting my citizenship through Your Roots In Poland. I'm on the second step where they found my grandparents documents, and sending them some more POA forms. The next step is they will send me a personalized list of non-Polish documents needed for my application.
I got a certified copy of my parents marriage certificate and I ordered another certified copy of my birth certificate.
I asked what else I will likely need and they said they will not know until they get my POA forms and case opened in Warsaw.
Right now I also do not have a passport and they said my drivers license should be good enough for the process.
But for anyone that went with them or did this recently what documents did you need? This case is pretty much open and shut for me. My grandfather, grandmother, and dad were/are Polish citizens. But it looks like they will go through my grandfather to it.
Which leads me to my next question.
My grandmother died in the 70s. Then my grandfather and dad escaped Poland in the 80s and fled to the USA. Obviously they never gave up their Polish citizenship.
How does my dad get his Polish citizenship paper work back or show he is still a citizen? He wants to get a Polish passport. And we have his original stuff from when he was a kid with his numbers on it and everything. But according to your Roots In Poland when I showed them they said those were very old copies of copies. So what does my dad do?
Edit: I was going to ask Your Roots In Poland about my dad, but it seems like his case would be open and shut. So I did not want to spend a lot of money.
Taken from the Rolling Stone article with Bernie---
"I’ve heard Elton is working on his next solo record. What’s the status of that?
Well, he’s got a record coming out, I think, at the beginning of next year that I contributed to. But I literally don’t know when that is. He did it with Andrew Watt again. And he wrote it in a completely different way simply because of his eyesight problem. He can’t read lyrics if they’re on the piano. So he basically came up with instrumental tracks and threw basically three or four of them at me and said, “Can you do something with these?” Which I contributed to. But he’s also worked with a couple of other people on there, which is great. So it’s a whole different ballgame for him."

So it sems like this won't be an entire Bernie written album again... what a shame. Hoping it is better WBIA which I did not hate or love. I thought there was talk that they did an entire album or just Bernie songs. But I guess that was not correct.
I would love a late era Elton album maybe solo or with his band. Sort of like Captain Fantastic and the sequel, Captain and the Kid. Could be a whole look back at life and how it is being even older now.
Edit: Here is an article from 2025, where Elton himself said Bernie gave him 7 song lyrics. https://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/elton-john-bernie-taupin-lyrics-seven-new-songs-87451/
I am sending documents over to Poland. Only 8 pieces of POA forms. I used Pirate ship and it said UPS might charge Brokerage fees. How do I know they'll do this and how much will they be? I already paid the postage. The value of everything is less than a dollar.
Where should I start to watch? And how do I see the overall of the marbles history? Whose the best and worst and stuff like that.
I wanted to mainly start lifting weights. Nothing huge and strong. But enough to get some tone and get some muscle. I do have a grade 1-2 varicocele. Not painful or anything like that. I dont want it get it to majorly worse.
Just was wondering if im alright to start working out.

Beginner home workout — are these substitutions okay?
I want to start the r/Fitness Basic Beginner Routine, but my home equipment is limited.
I have:
- A bench-press station with a standard bar and plates
- Two 15 lb dumbbells
- Two adjustable dumbbells
- A kettlebell
- No squat rack or safety arms
- No pull-up bar
- No lat-pulldown machine
I will train three days per week, alternating Workout A and Workout B with at least one rest day between workouts.
Week 1: A / B / A
Week 2: B / A / B
WORKOUT A
Barbell bent-over row
3 sets: 5 reps, 5 reps, then 5–10 reps
Dumbbell floor press
3 sets of 8–12 reps
Goblet squat
3 sets of 8–12 reps
WORKOUT B
One-arm dumbbell row
3 sets of 8–12 reps per arm
Dumbbell overhead press
3 sets of 5–10 reps
Barbell deadlift
3 sets of 5 reps
I am using goblet squats because I do not have a safe squat rack. I am using dumbbell floor presses because I train alone and my bench has no safety arms. The one-arm dumbbell row is temporarily replacing chin-ups/lat pulldowns.
I plan to start light, stop each set with about 1–2 good reps remaining, and add repetitions or weight gradually.
Does this look like a reasonable adaptation of the Basic Beginner Routine? Should I change any exercises, sets, or rep ranges?
Dating apps in my town are not worth it... maybe 50 girls on them?
Am I the least bit attractive to approach in person? Sometimes while out I catch a girl looking and she'll smile at me. But deep down I lack the confidence. I want the brutal honest answer. And yes I know my hair line is not that great.
Im 26 years old.
