The only part of my hair grooming that is "for myself" is trimming my mustache so food does not get caught in it.

Everything else is is for looks and other people look at me much more often than I look at myself. Even when I see myself in a mirror, I try to see myself as others would see me. My wife is the person that looks at me the most and is the person whose opinion is most important to me, so I ask for her opinion about how I groom myself.

    I assume the plan with Embid is that the team should not need him until the playoffs. During the regular season, he can play light minutes and take frequent rest days, just enough to keep him in shape and maintain chemistry.

    You missed some headlines. The Sixers traded the broken Paul George for Jaylen Brown.

    It seems that the new Celtics ownership is operating on the idea that the second apron will become a de facto hard cap for NBA payrolls and that existing contracts are not providing a good enough value. On his own last year, Brown was earning his max contract, but apparently having both Brown and Tatum on the court together is not worth paying 2 max contracts.

    Other teams seem to be agreeing with them about the second apron being mutually assured destruction, but it could all be cover to force players to take less money.

    I am using journaling to help combat depression and I pick one (or more) of the following, depending on what I did that day:

    • What are some things that I accomplished today? It does not have to be significant things, just things, no matter how small, even if it is just a step in a larger process.
    • Was there a time today that I felt a social connection, like a good conversation or a shared activity?
    • What is something I did that was fun?
    • What am I looking forward to?

    Overall, I only spend a couple minutes each day on it, but the process of thinking about what to write down lets me end each day feeling good about something.

    Would you trust Eufy? A few years ago, they got in trouble because their cameras might only store footage locally but they stream to the cloud. They claim to have fixed the issue, but it is unclear if they mean that the footage is no longer being sent or if they just tightened security so that only they (and trusted partners) can watch it.

    My dog is a bit like that. If he sees my wife and I getting a bit too touchy, he will start jealously growling about why we are petting each other and not him. We clearly declared him the "best boy", so he should be getting all the pets.

    The issue with that play is that the players are on different teams, so the ref assumed that it was an attempt to seduce an opposing player to sign with your team. That is clearly against tampering rules. Team employees, including players, may only seduce free agents, not players already signed to a team.

    The example OP provided names LeBron, Kyrie, and J. R. Smith, all of whom played together in Cleveland. I assume they mean that the players making out are teammates, so the WNBA ruling is moot.

    From what I understand, there is no basketball rule against sloppy makeouts between players on the same team. But that is not to say that it is a valid tactic. The NBA has 2 teams in Florida, 3 in Texas, and several more throughout the South and mid-West. At many arenas, a display contrary to good Christian values will result in security staff and any police present to immediately arrest the offending players, possibly with deadly force.

    Yoshi and the Mysterious Book will sell for $60 in the eShop and will have an MSRP of $70 for the physical cartridge.

    An opmist would say that it is $70 game and they are adding a $10 discount for buying it digitally. A pessimist would say that it is a $60 game and there is a $10 fee for the plastic cartridge.

     

    TL;DR: R-Type Dimensions III is switching from a Game Key Card release to having the full game on the card. Because of this, the physical release MSRP is increasing by €10. They will honor the old price for existing pre-orders.

    Initially, the publisher said that this was made possible by the new smaller capacity cartridges that Nintendo just announced. Later, they updated the press release to remove any references to cheaper cartridges and instead said that Nintendo did not announce anything.

     

    I am looking for a home strength routine which is more than just a list of exercises but also includes guidance about when and how much to increase my load. I know that there is a guidance of "Just increase the load once you get comfortable with it" but that does not work for me because I assume I am taking it too easy, increase the load too often, and end up with a lot of messy notes, workouts I cannot complete, and constantly thrashing back and forth between different levels.

    I am fine with a fitness routine that is a document, like Couch to 5k or 100 Pushups or an app, assuming it is priced reasonably for my use case.

    Desired level: I am not looking to get super buff, just enough to keep my muscles healthy Duration: 30 minutes 2 or 3 times per week, so I can alternate it with cardo Equipment I have: adjustable dumbbells and an adjustable bench

     

    Major points:

    • Price increases are coming.
    • They will pause producing most games except for cheap to manufacture, card-only games.
    • For games with app adaptations, upcoming expansions will get a digital release before physical.
    • They will design, develop, and prepare future games to hit the ground running when tariffs come down.
     

    TL;DR:

    • Joy-Cons are more comfortable for adult hands, though still not as big as other systems.
    • Mouse mode joy-cons are awkward. The buttons are small and there is no place to rest your other fingers and palm.
    • You will want to have a table if you are playing mouse-oriented games like Metroid Prime 4 and Civ 7.
    • Graphics seem better than the Steam Deck, worse than a PS4 Pro, but will improve as games are optimized.
    • Mouse aim works well in Metroid.
    • Mario Kart World is good and Knockout Tour is a fun addition to the game.
     

    An etiquette question for the community: if you attend a game night at your friendly local game store, how much do you buy from the store?

    Obviously, game store is not (just) hosting board games to give people a place to hang out and have fun. They are doing it to attract new customers and get people to buy games. If many people come but no one spends, the store might decide that they need to cancel the event and schedule more CCGs and minis. So how often do you buy a game at your local store to express your gratitude for the owners letting you use their space?
