I did a thing a couple years ago where I dropped about $500 buying every style of boxer brief that looked appealing or had a strong fanbase. I tried saxx, Duluth, all citizens, meundies, bn3th, Mac Weldon, Lululemon, Tommy John, separatec, and probably a few others.

All Citizens are my winner overall - the BN3TH are also really nice - I actually like their cuts and design better, but the materials don't hold up nearly as well as the All Citizens. All Citizens are also much better value, IMO.

For the All Citizens, I'm specifically talking about their Paradise Pocket boxer briefs. My legs are proportionally beefy in comparison to my waist, so it's also nice that All Citizens offer an "Athletic Fit" option that keeps the legs from being overly tight. Just snug enough not to ride up without pinching or leaving a visible line visible through pants.

Camping, traveling, hiking and going places that are enjoyable and accessible with my wife and dogs.

Gardening / homesteading in such a way to live as self-sufficiently as possible.

My way I want to give back in retirement is working as a volunteer urban/wildland canine search and rescue team.

I train my dogs in scent/detection sports and tracking now so I'm prepared to understand how to do the real deal once I have time to volunteer in retirement. My current job is in a related field, so I already have many of the other skills and certifications that would be needed, but I don't work with dogs for my job.

If I need extra income in retirement, I'll probably get into offering dog training for detection/tracking.

This article is from January and a quick search didn't yield anything newer.

The Cybertruck isn't instead on the "2024 American Made index," so we probably can only go on whatever Tesla is claiming at the moment, though it does seem likely that it will be at or near the top of the ranking for most American trucks of next year's list.

Leader of a gang responsible for a sizeable portion of the evil shit that has happened in world history says people should think about supporting someone who is less evil.

Okay, guess your followers should switch to Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Atheism, or any other of a big handful of less-evil -isms to choose from than Catholicism.

Well the polls, surveys, questionnaires and polls; that's not got much polls in it.

Yeah sure, there definitely has been a history of bias in favor of British drivers and teams by Sky - no question. But they've also damn near revered Max as god since his first race in F1, so I don't totally buy his logic there.

Moreover, I think Newey is discounting the fact that people just have a strong tendency to root for the underdog or root for the fall of the king. Vettel was despised during his reign, as was Hamilton, and now largely the same with Max.

Not completely by my own choice, but I feel like I've seen National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - at least in part - once or more per holiday season since it was released.

The same is true of Elf, but obviously that movie is quite a bit more recent.

For movies I've watched the most by my own choice, it's probably the Kill Bills or Inglorious Basterds, but those have got to be way behind in raw count. Goonies and the Back to the Future series probably have honorable mentions because of how long they've been around and continue to be a fun watch.

I mean, he paid with his life. And he suffered longer too.

I guess James Earl Jones, Carrie Fisher, and Peter Mayhew can now all ride together.

There's a lot of exciting changes happening and coming in the next few years that seem to have potential to keep the sport interesting / unpredictable.

The way this season started, I never would have expected to get to this point in the season with 7 different race winners, a team threatening to take the lead in the WCC from Red Bull, and at least one driver with a reasonable shot at taking down Max Verstappen.

Hopefully the next few years can be at least as interesting.

That combined with it being able to lock weapons onto multiple targets simultaneously, and also being quite stealthy so it can do these things way before the targets even know it's coming.

Can't speak for the security or that extension - I tried it once several years ago and immediately ran into the same problems. Since then, I've used JDownloader2, which is a standalone app, on both windows and Linux Mint. Works great for me.

Feels like a bunch of manufactured drama over this. It was a clean pass, and Norris was never able to even put a serious challenge to Leclerc, let alone Piastri afterward. McLaren has been open at saying their drivers have been allowed to race. Sure, from a team perspective it's a bit unfortunate that Piastri's move caused Norris to back off enough that he allowed Leclerc through, but since there were no team orders otherwise, Piastri did exactly what he's supposed to do.

One is the presidential nominee of the Republican party, the other is a has-been hack columnist. These two things are not the same.

How DARE people answer a vague question with their own experiences!! Who'd guess that a question asked in English gets answers from people in predominantly English-speaking areas?! Fuck all these people for not discussing the habits of the Layards's Palm Squirrel and why Sri Lankan boomers love/hate it!

This seems odd to me, as solar power generation often increases the need for power generation that can be quickly brought on- and off- line to fill in the gaps outside of daylight hours, on cloudy days, etc. Natural Gas plants are some of the fastest-reacting available in this regard, so installation of grid-scale solar projects often come along with natural gas plants as well.

Huh, interesting. I guess this makes sense - to not take up a massive volume, breathing oxygen would need to be stored in liquid form, which means it would need to be kept exceptionally cold or under huge pressures (or both), and would inevitably boil off and need regular servicing. A chemical reaction seems to be a far lower maintenance (and thus likely much cheaper) option for devices that will hopefully never even need to be used during the service life of an aircraft.

Traditionally, the incumbent has a huge advantage. I don't believe that the party of any sitting president that was primaried ever won the election. There are only a few cases of a sitting president that was eligible for another term stepping aside, and those were a very long time ago.

There was very little precedent for what Biden did, and I think very few could have predicted the enthusiasm for Harris - I remember her last campaign. It wasn't inspiring.

I think Biden felt like the safest choice to many, though obviously that's been proven incorrect. Hopefully the Democratic party will take a lesson from this and be more willing to replace an incumbent in the future if there's a better option.
