I like baseball, it's got lots of stats, its always on, and you don't have to be glued to the radio/tv to follow a game. Playoffs give you the drama. Regular season is more of a cruise.

If you like the radio the sf giants have an excellent radio(TV too) broadcast team. They have a good Spanish broadcasting duo too if that's your thing.

I'm sure there's other good ones, I couldn't tell you, following one team casually is enough of a time commitment.

If youre in America it's probably a good idea just to follow the local team. If there isn't one check to see if there's a AA or AAA affiliate nearby.

What are ethical ways people could/should invest their money into instead?

I'm not going to ever be a landlord, but I want to retire at the point.

I have a cookbook that has some, I can send you some pics when I get home. It'll be a few hours so i might forget. If you're interested remind me and I'll be happy to.

If I throw something at your head and it hits you in the face, was it because you did something irrational?

No. Maybe the throw was too hard. Maybe you weren't paying attention. Maybe you can't see, or maybe your arms don't work the way other people's do. Maybe you felt something coming and didn't know what to do and panicked. Maybe you like getting hit in the face. Maybe I threw it really softly, and you were paying attention, but you've never practiced or tried to block/dodge a moving object and it hits you on the nose.

None of those situations are irrational. The only thing irrational that could occur is thinking it happened because of something that couldn't be explained, or by maybe trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

If you want to be really lazy you can add (cooked) beans to a rice cooker and prepare it all together. Use the liquid from the can of beans + can/jar of salsa instead of water and you're all set.

It's no culinary masterpiece but it's efficient

I had a pair of boots that this happened to and i superglued/guerilla glued it a bunch and it always eventually failed. I would not reccomend it.

Try Frank's suggestion, or anything else lol, super glue is a waste of time.

Same thing happened to me. Never really came up with a great solution.

When my w, s , 2 and other letters started failing on my old laptop, my solution was to just get a USB keyboard and kinda plop it over the laptop keyboard XD. Or have it nearby and ready. If I was working or something having a better keyboard was nice anyway. If I just needed it for an occasional search it was handy.

I'm no expert but the process you described:

Key worked correctly sometimes, then worked if you pressed it long/enough times, then just stopped working, was how all my Keys went.

So whatever solution you come up with be prepared to have to use it again.

Also if you're really in a pickle you can try copying+pasting the letter lol.

I almost got fucked because my login password had an s in it. So be careful if such a situation arises.

Happy Christmas! Hope it helps.

I seconded the shepherd's pie in another post but this side is always a hit and it's requested by my family every year.

Make sure your knife is sharp cutting all those sprouts is a pain otherwise

What kind of sales? There's lots of unethical sales jobs, if you do those idk if youre a class traitor but kind of a shit head. Then there's more neutral sales jobs, I think you're morally okay to do those.

Below are some Qs on the job itself. You don't have to answer me, but you should know the answer to these questions before you take a sales job.

Inside sales? Outside sales? Business to Business? DTC? Hourly? Salary? Comission? Is the base pay ass? Is commission fair?

Are people coming to you? Are you responsible for your own leads? Can you mentally justify the product/service you're going to have to sell to yourself? To others? Is there already a market for it and you're just selling a different version? What would you be selling, price? Service? Would it actually be a good idea for them to buy what you're selling? If it's not are you going to lie to them?

If your selling products are you selling capital products? Consumables? What's the typical sales cycle? Do they need more every week, month, year, 3 years, more? Are you selling a lot of little things, or little/big things for a lot?

Are you selling a service? Is it a subscription? Per service? Same service they already use but different or a "new niche"

Is it churn and burn, get a sell at all costs and look for the next mark? Is it slowly build a relationship and wait for a chance? In between? If you do get a customer are they likely to repeat? Will you get credit for returning customers?

How competitive is the market? Is there already a big player(s) that most people use? Are you working for the big player? Does your company have a reputation? Does your competition? Is that something thst will work in your favor or something youll have to constantly work against?

Does the company churn and burn through sales people? Are there some that stay awhile? Whats the success rate look like? Are their quotas?

Sales sucks no matter what but there are perks and you can get paid. There are a lot of sales jobs that are not worth it from an ethical stance, you're selling something people don't need, you're lieing to them, your selling an unethical product/service etc.

There's a lot of sales jobs that aren't worth it from a organizational standpoint. It's hard as shit to get sales, your not compensated well for them, you get abuse from management/ops. The market is saturated, your pricing isn't competitive, there's better products/services out that already exist.

The company I work for does B2B sales. They're absolutely not selling anything a company doesn't need, just the fact we might be able to do the service better. It's a mix of pricing, service and just overall relationship building. All of our long term customers trust, and like, their sales rep and the support staff as well. You're generally responsible for your own leads, if your lucky a sales manager will give you some. It's basically knocking on business doors and trying to talk to someone. They also go to events which is much nicer and more effective but they don't happen all the time.

We don't have name rep but we compete against some companies that have a intl rep. Sometimes that works in our favor when big hat company doesn't care about best service, but often times big company does fine and has strong pricing. I say compete but it'd hardly competitive if the big companies ever wanted any of our business they could take it.

Sales take a long time to develop, sometimes months, sometimes even years. Sometimes you get lucky and slide in when a competitor has a disaster or a company suddenly explodes in growth and needs help but most people are relatively happy with the company their already using.

So not the ideal situation, but overall pretty good. I was able to convince myself to try sales a few years ago and not have any ethical quandries about it. And our sales people who do succeed can make a grip, it just takes awhile and is hard as shit.

I wanted to die it was terrible. There were a lot of perks, but you have to be on it pretty much every day and decide to stay on it throughout the day. You need to dress up, show up, follow up, check up consistently for weeks/months/years with often nothing to show for it. Constant rejection, constant ghosting, lieing, etc. from potential customers.

Its a struggle, I gave up after maybe 5-6 months. Luckily I was able to get a different position back in the office that I'm much better suited for. One with numbers where I can wfh most of the time and don't talk to customers very much.

You ultimately have to be super money motivated and I was not. Or just really like it, but I think you can really like it unless you already really like money.

I'm happy to try and answer any questions you might have. Im not going to be able to tell you how be good at it but l have a decent amount of insight on overall process.

What are you doing now? I like it with those things sliced and sauted, air fried or baked. With oil.

I think it can be a bit of an acquired taste, as many fermented things are, but I see this always floating around for advice.

I remember listening to Brittany spears, nysnx, backstreet boys, Christina A, Aaron carder as kid. As a teen I moved to mostly "guy" rock/rap. I definitely wanted to be seen as a cool tough guy, but I'd get down to the occasional bop by a woman.

I noticed in my maybe late teens but early twenties I only had male performers on my playlists and felt embarrassed about that, especially when girls were around. I made a concerted effort to work on that and im glad I did. Now I don't think about it unless it's specifically brought up.

Some of my favorite songs over the years were the duet back in forths "don't you want me", nothing better" I'm sure there's others"

Now I got music all over the place. My ~~5~~ 6 most recently played songs are:

Vampire: Olivia Rodrigo,
Get Stonned: Fionn,
Mr. Redundant: Mr Kitten Suprise, Hold on, Hold You: Wild Child,
Stand by Me and You: Sambomaster, and Thunderbird: Evil
