When JD5 and Terry and Nick Cross and Cosmi come back, I STILL have no faith that we can compete with the better teams on our schedule (LAR, PHI, DAL, CIN, JAX)….

Something about DQ teams. Unless we’re getting lucky (Hail Mary, Jameson Williams throwing interceptions on double reverses) it just seems like DQ can never get this team properly ready to compete for a full 60 minutes.

Once in a while he has the Seattle game. But more often than not it’s what we saw today or versus Dallas in week 2.

Just depressing AF man

I know ConEdison screws over everyone, but I’m worried my experience might not be normal. I live in a sunny 1 bed 1 bath apartment - about 650 sqft, but my electricity bill is consistently $350+. We generally turn on lamps at night, but that’s about it. The only thing I can think of is that the AC unit (not a window unit, it’s a wall unit) is constantly turning on and off to maintain a moderately cool temp.

Should I be worried about my bill? Or is this amount normal?

For context I’ve lived here for 3 years and it’s always been this expensive. I think I set up an autopay when I first moved in so the bill kind of goes unnoticed.

My family and I are in a heated debate - did >!Ned and MJ regain their memories at the end!<? Consider the following:

- >!Ned remembers handshake (muscle memory or real memory?)!<
>!- MJ sitting in their old spot touching her necklace (real memory or just pondering the note she found?)!<
>!- Jean Grey’s radius - did everyone in this radius remember who Peter is?!<
>!- Jean Grey’s powers - did she have the power to reinstate MJ and Ned’s memories? Although she never possessed Ned? And furthermore didn’t she admit MJ had no memories of Peter in there!<?

Hey guys I’m sorry for the Wall Street reference but I only mention it because I want to emphasize that the clothes have to LOOK very crisp. My dad is an engineer for a large company but his office culture is much more “wearing a Kohl’s dress shirt is fancy” whereas I’m working for Fortune 50 clients and I have to look a certain way. I’m so sorry if that comes off pompous - I wish I could wear t shirts and basketball shorts to work. That being said….

It’s ridiculous that in 2026 in the heat and humidity men are still expected to wear shirts with collars, tuck those shirts into uncomfortable pants, and then wear a stiff belt further digging into your muffin top as you guzzle down shitty office snacks while getting ass slapped by your bosses.

Where are guys getting their comfortable dress shirts that are soft, breathable, and shape-flattering?

I like wearing an undershirt and I don’t want you to see my ugly ass v neck through my shirt. Charles Tyrwhitt and Suitsupply dress shirts aren’t good enough for this. CT specifically is way too thick and the shirts are cut for 75 year old men. The Rhone commuter dress shirt is surprisingly thin and cheap-looking. Any other ideas?

Also dress pants? Anyone got a stretchy material with a flexible waistband?

I spent $1500 on 100% wool suits from supply and they fucking SUCK. They make me look way fatter than I should. Some $30 Calvin Klein stretchy pants from Amazon fit far better on me. Yes it’s my fault for being in this situation. I’m just trying to get out of it.

BigLaw is tricky enough for “my uncle is a partner at K&E” headasses. It’s a huge adjustment for first gen lawyers who simply aren’t used to all the bullshit unwritten rules in BigLaw. I remember how many times I fucked up and was told off as if I was not wanted there, and it was the worst.

If you still have a heart left in this job, be nice when you can here. It goes a long way (even if they really did fuck up)

EDIT: so many people are being obtuse in the comments lol. This is one of those “if you know, you know” posts. Ask your BIPOC and/or first gen/low income friends and they’ll know what I’m talking about.

And for fucks sake, “first gen” in this context doesn’t ONLY mean “I’m the first lawyer in my family but the rest of my family is full of corporate professionals” like come on bro lol

U.S.-based Sports fans like me who are DEVASTATED that the LG OLEDs are horrible with televised live sports - rejoice! Take advantage of this moment! The 4K broadcast is incredible on the OLED.

I wish the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL invested the $$$ to produce 4K broadcasts.

Well done FIFA and well done Fox ONE app!

I’ve used the creami for a few years but kind of fell out of love with it after realizing I’ve just never been too happy with it. I add a TON of Splenda to sweeten the mixture. I use a premiere protein shake, extracts, vanilla bean paste, etc. I use an immersion blender to emulsify all the flavors. I’ve used like every recipe from every renowned Ninja creami enthusiast. I understand the lack of butter and fat will cause a deficiency of richness and creaminess, but like this is just not enjoyable. I’d almost rather just drink the protein shake and eat some mix ins on the side. Like there really isn’t any reason for the mixture to taste like cold frozen cream rather than sweet flavorful ice cream.

Anyone have any tips? I’ve noticed the top of the pint is always richer in flavor than the bottom half/edges of the pint. But it’s just not very good.

I have the original ninja creami. I wonder if my machine is just old?

Any ideas? Rental car prices are insane so was hoping to take either Metro North toward Beacon or New Haven and having a rainy day with my spouse exploring cafes, bookstores, and other indoor-friendly sites. We’ve been to Beacon and New Haven, but seems like most other places would suck in the rainy weather.

If we had a car would definitely drive up the Hudson to southern Mass for a day.

Backup plan is Met lol. Could be worse!
