Any concern over Facebook brand new Hunter Safety System fall arrests?

I live in a fairly big city, and there's 2 of these on marketplace brand new for like $50 instead of the usual idk $130+. I asked one of the guys with very good marketplace feedback and he said he bought it as a gift and didn't end up giving it. Sounds reasonable. Should I be suspicious where maybe they're commonly defective or counterfeit?

What math curriculum would you recommend switching to from Beast Academy?

My daughter is entering 6th grade, and last year was her first year with homeschool. We got Beast Academy for her. The placement test put her at Level 3, despite her being in 5th grade. We liked Beast Academy just fine, but it was more complex than we felt necessary. I've heard it said that Beast Academy is for kids that like math. My kid does not like math. She doesn't like school.

What curriculum would you recommend for math for a kid that isn't eager to learn? She didn't particularly hate how we did it (BA workbook for a section, then that online section), but I think she has a lot of resentment for being pulled out of public school. I'd also like to have a better gauge on her academic level, and I'm thinking Beast Academy doesn't exactly correlate Level 3 with 3rd grade and so on. Here's to hoping this year will be better.

Which would you choose: LCR or K6XS

LCR is cheaper and a solid platform, K6XS has an extra round, slightly raised rear trough site, more expensive, and potentially warrants an aftermarket firing pin. What are your thoughts?

What to replace goblet squat with once I run of out single kettlebell weight?

I do goblet squats in place of barbell deadlifts due to a hip labrum repair that didn't quite take. Problem is, now I'm at 71 lbs and they don't go any higher at my gym. What should I do? I'm not super familiar with kettlebell exercises. I can surely do dumbbell squats or something, but I occasionally work out with my wife and she is still doing kettlebell goblet squats.

Do you sleeve all the cards in your deck with the same sleeves?

I'm.new and haven't played yet. I've got both the precon sets and was going to sleeve them. From what I understand a deck has 2 different piles you can draw from. Do most people sleeve them all the same, or use different sleeves for the 2?

Is smoking outside harder?

This is only my 3rd cigar, but first one outside. It's gone out on me several times and hasn't burned evenly. I never had these problems with the cigars in my garage. I had high hopes for this macanudo cafe so I don't know if it's the cigar or the slight breeze causing trouble.

Last one. Can you help me identify what sets these might be from?

I moved a few years ago and am putting back together sets that got destroyed. I've reassembled a dozen sets so far, and these are the pieces left. Looks like there's no complete sets, but I'm not sure what I missed in my other sets that's accounted for here. Any idea?

Can you please tell me what sets you see in here?

I had a big move and am just now getting around to rebuilding some sets before I sell them. These are the remaining pieces that I didn't save instructions or label a ziplock with. Are you able to identify some sets from them? Thanks!

I'm gonna go to Cigars International for (basically) my first cigars. What do you recommend?

I say basically because I got some cigars there before, felt sick after the first one (Perdomo 10th Champagne I think) then threw away the others I bought. Dumb.

I'm looking to get maybe 3-5 cigars. Some mild ones that won't make me feel sick, and preferably also some the have a good room note like a pipe does. My wife likes when I smoke pipe tobacco, but I prefer smoking a cigar. So if it can smell like pipe tobacco then all the better.

How to Harley riders feel about Triumphs?

I've owned many bikes over the years, but the only cruiser I've previously owned was a Marauder. I of course felt out of place around a bunch of Harleys because it was a Japanese bike. However, now with my Rocket III Touring I feel like I would fit in more. Does everyone like Triumphs and just think they're as neat as I do? For what it's worth I always ride solo or 2-up and keep to myself when I go out. I don't care one way or another what others think, but I'm curious nonetheless.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to handle this transaction

I deposited $1543 into my checking account from cash, so it's Transfer: Cash, and it doesn't allow a category.

I deposited $8000 in the bank at the same time. That was money I had just gotten, so it wasn't in YNAB cash category yet.

I have a Branch Deposit transaction of $9543, which accounts for both of the above items when I went to the bank.

Problem is, I want that transfer from cash to checking to either have a category or to go away so the Branch Deposit of $9543 accounts for it, which I can then categorize. I can't just delete the Transfer: Cash because then my cash reconciliation is off.

Two very different guns, I know. My .32 H&R LCR is the most comfortable gun to carry. I barely notice it. Does anyone have both these guns and can comment? I don't have AIWB for the BG2.0 yet, just pocket holster.

Do you have any recommendations for cheer, swim, or volleyball for an 11-yo girl? Looking for something that develops skills and is somewhat competitive, but not thousands of dollars. Seems like many of these competitive ones are, so maybe there's cheaper, less competitive options?

We did cheer through a church and it was fine, but we are looking for something more competitive. Not necessarily the full blown competitive cheer because that is $5k+, but maybe something that has smaller local competitions or something.

We did volleyball through i9 and had a bad experience where the coaches didn't teach the skills very well at all. However, some teams were clearly organized and had coaches that knew what they were doing. It's all volunteer coaches, so I'm not mad, but the teams that did not have the super involved coaches would get obliterated at games and not have fun.
