I played a bit in high school, but since then I've gotten more into other sports like tennis, basketball, and general strength training. I'd love to get back into soccer and see how I do. I'm not sure where my soccer skills are at after all these years, but I have a pretty good overall fitness base and footwork from tennis. Are there any places or groups where I could get introduced to other players and start playing regularly?

Is there actually anything worth seeing in the southern part of Death Valley, particularly around Butte Valley, Warm Springs Canyon, and the surrounding backcountry? I also noticed that the Geologist's Cabin appears to be permanently closed. Is that correct, or is it sometimes accessible? And what exactly is Anvil Spring Canyon? Is it considered a trail, a 4x4 road, or just a route? On Google Maps it looks like it runs for about 12 to 13 miles and then ends at what appears to be a pretty featureless dead end. Is there actually anything worthwhile at the end, or is the drive itself the main attraction?

Is there a way to make Google Maps display all roads, including minor dirt roads, backcountry roads, and wash roads, especially in remote areas like Death Valley? Right now, many of these roads only appear when I zoom in very closely. Is there a setting or map layer that will show the entire minor road network at a wider zoom level?

I weigh 200 lbs, 5'11. I do conventional strength training apart from bodyweight exercises. I can currently do 15 strict pull-ups and around 20–25 dips, but I haven't been able to do a muscle-up yet. I've been working on getting my chest to the bar as the next step, but I'm not sure what the best progression is from here.

• How many strict pull-ups and dips could you do before you got your first muscle-up?
• What exercises helped you make the biggest jump?
• Should I focus more on explosive chest-to-bar pull-ups, weighted pull-ups, or practicing the transition?
• How many weeks/months did it take you to get your first one?

Also, realistically, what percentage of people can do even one muscle-up? I'd love to hear from people who actually went from regular strict pull-ups to their first muscle-up. What would you recommend I work on from here?

What happened to the good old days of a simple plastic barcode? Now I have to download an app for every single fking gym just to get through the door. And this fking EOS is especially frustrating because some locations use NFC, others use a barcode, and the whole thing varies by location. There is also a "New app". It feels like every business wants to collect data and track every little thing these days. I don't want to use my phone for everything. Sometimes I just want to pull out a plastic card, scan it, and get on with my workout. Is that really too much to ask?

Have you ever intentionally stopped talking or messaging to a woman you were interested in after talking 2 or 3 times because she never intiates anything? We have never met before, but On our first two calls, we talked for more than two hours each time, even though we were complete strangers. The conversations seemed great, we vibed really well , she felt interested but I was always the one messaging or calling afterward. She never initiated.

Eventually, I just stopped reaching out. Would you have done the same, or would you have kept trying?

What is the alternate? Fidelity is also not supported.

I keep getting a message saying that Samsung Messages is being discontinued and that I need to switch to Google Messages.

I already switched to Google Messages and set it as my default messaging app, but the notification keeps popping up. Every time it does, I’m asked to set Google Messages as the default again.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a way to stop this from happening?

full Disclosure: I used to watch kinky porn a lot and now I've almost stopped it. Making good progress, but haven't tried having sex lately

I'm wondering if Cialis really works for situations like mine.

I stay in very good shape, work out and lift heavy regularly, and I've been told I'm attractive and handsome. But I feel like none of that matters if I can't perform when it counts.

I have no problem getting an erection initially, but I often have trouble maintaining it. It goes soft before or during sex, and it's become embarrassing enough that I actively avoid sex,and dating especially with someone new.

For those who've had a similar experience, did Cialis help you maintain an erection and perform more confidently? How effective was it, and did it make a noticeable difference with a new partner?

Does quitting porn ( which I'm almost there) and nofap help ?

I'd appreciate hearing from people who have actually used it!

I'm planning to close my Citibank account and transfer about $30,000 to my Chase account which I already have

Does Chase currently have any checking account bonus or other promotions for bringing in new money from another bank? If so, what are the requirements (direct deposit, minimum balance, how long the funds need to stay, etc.)?

I'd like to take advantage of any available offer before moving the money.

Im a vegetarian and trying to decide between the Veggie Patty sandwich and the Egg & Cheese sandwich at Subway. Assuming both are on the same footlong whole wheat bread with similar veggies and no added sauces, no added salt, which would you consider the healthier option? I'm mainly looking at: Overall nutrition Protein Calories Sodium

I'm starting to plan a fall foliage trip for 2026 and am trying to decide between Michigan's Upper Peninsula ( porcupine mountains, keenewah peninsula, pictured rocks etc ) and the Northeast (Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, etc.).

I'm probably ruling out Colorado this year. From what I've read, it had a severe drought, skiing was pretty poor, and it was an unusually dry season overall.

On the other hand, the Upper Peninsula and much of the Northeast seemed to have had a very snowy winter.

Does a winter with lots of snow usually translate into more vibrant fall colors, or are they mostly unrelated?

If you had to choose one destination for the best foliage this year, would you pick the Upper Peninsula or the Northeast?

By the way, I will be flying from Houston

Absolutely no slots available in India for H1B stamping. I've been trying every single hour. One of my family member is in critical condition, if I go, I will probably lose my job since I won't be able to get back. What is the solution?

My dad frequently travels to the U.S. on business and has a valid B1/B2 visa. These days he's visiting almost once every 3 months, and when he's here he also flies domestically quite a bit.

It got me wondering whether it would make sense for him to have an airline credit card, such as one from United, American, or Frontier, to earn miles and get perks.

The catch is that he doesn't have an SSN and isn't a U.S. resident.

I live in the U.S. and have several U.S. credit cards, so I was curious if there's any way for him to apply for one as well. Has anyone in a similar situation been able to get approved, perhaps with an ITIN or some other process, or is this simply not possible unless you're a U.S. resident?

I've rented from Enterprise three times recently, and I haven't received any Enterprise Plus points for any of those rentals.

Has anyone dealt with this before? What's the best corporate phone number or email address to get this resolved?

Also, these rentals are missing from my app as well

Thanks!

I can choose either an UpFront Plus seat (2D) or an emergency exit row seat for no additional charge about 4 hours before departure.

Which would you pick and why? Are the seat themselves better with extra cushion in 2D?

I'm mostly interested in comfort and legroom. Does the extra space in the exit row outweigh being near the front with UpFront Plus?

I have the Frontier Mastercard with Gold Status. I checked in for my flight tomorrow, and during check-in I noticed all Premium Exit Row seats showed as $0, and the UpFront Plus seat (3F) was also free. I selected 3F. Now when I try to switch from 3F to an Exit Row, it's charging me $17. Has anyone else experienced this? Does something change after you complete check-in, or did I lose the free seat selection by choosing 3F first? Is there any way to get the Exit Row for free now?
