I'm a landlord in Texas and I'm trying to understand my legal position before I do anything.

I sent a residential lease to a prospective tenant through DocuSign. He has signed it, but I have not signed it yet. He also hasn't paid the security deposit or first month's rent.

Since sending the lease, another applicant has come forward. This second applicant has a significantly higher credit score, and there are a few other factors that make me more comfortable renting to him from a risk perspective.

My questions are:

• In Texas, if the tenant has signed the lease but the landlord hasn't, is the lease generally considered binding?
• Assuming it isn't fully executed yet, can I decide not to sign and move forward with the other applicant?

I just want to understand the legal side of how this typically works in Texas. If it matters, the lease was sent through DocuSign.

Thanks

I'm curious which type of doctor prescribed your tretinoin.

I have an appointment with an ophthalmologist tomorrow for some mild under-eye discoloration, and I'm wondering whether an ophthalmologist would be willing to prescribe tretinoin or if I should expect to see a dermatologist instead.

What was your experience?

I'm a U.S. citizen looking to buy around $500,000 of term life insurance, but I spend most of the year living in mainland China and expect that to continue long-term.

Would you recommend buying a policy from a U.S. insurer, or would it make more sense to go through a Hong Kong or mainland Chinese life insurance company instead?

If you recommend a U.S. insurer, which companies are generally the most accommodating for someone who primarily lives overseas? If you've been in a similar situation, I'd appreciate hearing which company you used and whether the application or claims process presented any issues.

My main goal is to make sure my family would be covered if I were to die while living in China.

I'm looking for brands that sell well-made, tapered T-shirts in physical stores (not online only).

I've bought a lot of shirts online, but it's gotten frustrating having to deal with returns when they don't work out. Since I'm already planning to go to the mall and an outlet mall, I'd rather just try them on in person.

What brands or stores should I visit? I'm open to premium brands if the quality is worth it (I actually don't really care about the price at all).

Thanks!

Does anyone know where to buy good tapered tank tops?

I’m looking for something that fits a bit more athletic/tapered — not super boxy or loose around the waist, but also not skin-tight compression. Ideally something that looks good casually or at the gym.

I’ve seen brands like BYLT and HAUS mentioned. Are either of those worth it? Or are there better brands I should look at?

Appreciate any input.

Does anyone here wear work boots or hiking boots casually? Is it too weird?

What brands or models do you guys wear? Anything not too bulky or over-the-top?

EDIT: I'm actually mainly interested in hiking boots as casual wear, actually

I’ve been doing a lot of research into LED face masks and these are some really good masks I've come across:

• Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo
• Ulike ReGlow
• Solawave Wrinkle Retreat Pro
• CurrentBody Skin Series 2
• Shark CryoGlow

One thing I’m confused about is the Therabody / TheraFace options on Amazon. It looks like there are two different versions: one around $300 and another around $600. From what I can tell, the cheaper one may be the TheraFace Mask Glo, while the more expensive one may be the original TheraFace Mask. Does anyone know the practical difference between the two? Is the more expensive version actually worth it, or is the Glo basically enough for most people?

The Shark CryoGlow also caught my attention because it has under-eye cooling pads. Since part of my issue is a hollowed/discolored/tired-looking under-eye area, I’m wondering if the cooling feature could be useful for making the area look temporarily fresher (I understand that LED is not going to truly “fill in” under-eye hollowing or reverse volume loss, but I’m wondering if it could still help with skin tone, texture, inflammation, or the tired/dark appearance around that area). For those who have tried it, do you think the under-eye cooling is actually meaningful, or is it more of a gimmick?

Which mask would you guys recommend?

Thanks

I've been doing a lot of research and keep coming across the same three types of at-home skincare devices:

• Dermarollers
• LED red light masks
• Microcurrent/RF devices

What do you guys think of these? Have you had any personal experience with them? Would you add anything to the list, or remove anything?

Thanks

I’m a 37-year-old man, but I look around 30 at most. I’m trying to improve my style a bit and want to buy some semi-casual shoes.

I’d mostly wear them for going out with friends, going to a bar every now and then, and maybe going on casual dates. I have basically zero fashion sense, so I’m looking for a few solid options that are hard to mess up.

What types of shoes would you advise?

Ideally, I’d like something versatile that looks good with jeans or casual pants and doesn’t look too formal or too “dad shoe.” Specific brands/models would be appreciated, but general style advice would also be helpful.

Thanks.

EDIT: I'm fine with sneakers too

Since I lift at home, I can deadlift barefoot, which usually isn’t an option in a public gym. So if barefoot deadlifting is available to me, is there any real reason to buy deadlift shoes?

Would deadlift slippers/shoes help with anything meaningful compared to barefoot, or would you recommend just sticking with barefoot deadlifts?

I was considering buying a cheap pair on Amazon, something like MANUEKLEAR deadlift shoes, but I’m not sure if it's even necessary.

Thanks.

I know most people here buy Romaleos or TYR, but when I search Amazon for weightlifting shoes, brands like Osterland, MANUEKLEAR, kcross, and Nordic Lifting show up. Are those brands any good?

The MANUEKLEAR and kcross shoes say they’re for deadlifting, but they seem to have a heel, which makes them look more like Olympic lifting shoes than deadlifting shoes.

What do you guys think? Should I consider these cheaper Amazon brands, or should I just stick with Romaleos or TYR?

Thanks

I’ve seen a lot of Olympic weightlifting shoe discussions on this forum, so I have a pretty good idea of what to buy. But is it possible to buy Olympic weightlifting shoes in-store anywhere?

I’ve checked places like Dick’s Sporting Goods and Academy, but they don’t seem to carry them. If anyone has bought weightlifting shoes in-store, where did you go?

Thanks.
