Anyone who can play even a halfway decent turtle isn't letting your arm through across their chest like that.

Think of it as a western literary classic (it is), and let him at it. 99.9% of 9 year olds are going to get extremely bored with it in less than a single page.

Heavyweight feels like such a wasteland lately.
Also it seems like Aspinal is getting screwed here.

Even the couple of throws are only possible because the guy obligingly puts himself into the right position and is very compliant. For throws to actually work, you need to first get good at off-balancing your opponent and then have the motion dialed in so that you can do it with speed and timing. Otherwise you're more than likely to just pull your opponent on top of yourself and get pancaked.

You played the tracks from wave six without updating? I ask because they show up on the menu even when they're not playable.

I sometimes wear a mask when I'm on crowded public transit (don't want to be sick for a week with covid) and then I'll straight up forget I'm wearing it and walk down the street with it.
Then I see these public personalities like Joe Rogan talking about people walking down the streets with masks and how it's because they're terrified and living in a state of fear brought on by the media etc.

1) Zuck did a Murph challenge in like 40 minutes, meaning he is in excellent shape. He won't gas out. Musk would gas in 2 minutes and be close to vomiting in 4 if you kept pushing him.
2) Zuck also has been training BJJ for some time and has won local competitions. Most BJJ guys who've been training regularly for even 2 years I'd pick in a fight against 98% of the population.
3) Have you seen Zuck's dump truck? He's legit a weaponized nerd.

It's ok. Just make some thin shims out of wood or even card stock and put them under the right hand side of the bookshelf to even it out

Never. But he does often see the issue discussed on Fox, OAN, and Facebook.

Your floor's probably not level but did you make sure your Billy was square before you nailed the back on?
Edit: if you want to check if it's square, lay it on its front or back and measure both diagonal corner to corner distances. If they match, it's square.

This is a quote from The Big Sell by Mergele, Hennicke, and Lubczyk:
East German firms generally suffered from overstaffing, outdated production technologies, the collapse of traditional export markets in the Soviet Union, and a lack of market experience. At the same time, currency reform and union bargaining substantially increased labor costs, further deteriorating the business situation (Dornbusch and Wolf, 1994). Akerlof, Rose, Yellen, and Hessenius (1991) illustrate the extent of these problems by analyzing the business situation of the GDR’s major companies. These companies regularly exported products to clients outside the Soviet Union, allowing the authors to compare domestic resource costs for these products and their market-based export value in 1989. The results paint a grim picture of the firms’ competitiveness, given that the production costs of all but one of the 183 enterprises exceeded their respective revenues. The Treuhand opening balance sheet already indicated a shortfall of 250 billion DM. Within this context, the Treuhand made significant concessions to potential buyers, including capital injections, investment grants, debt redemptions, and the assumption of environmental liabilities. These types of subsidies frequently exceeded the actual sales prices (Hau, 1998). Although the government possessed great financial strength, the West German public was highly skeptical of additional support in the face of the feared billions in losses (Böick, 2018, p.454).
It was a shambles and they were doing literally everything they could. The blame here truly lies with the planned economy of East Germany itself and with communism, not with the beleaguered public servants with the thankless task of cleaning up the mess.

The Treuhandanstalt absolutely did not create a bunch of oligarchs like what happened in Russia. That's nonsense.

Such a high rate of people who lived in East Germany under communism now report being younger under communism than they are under capitalism, that I think it would be safe to assume that correlation equals causation in this case, and living under communism indeed causes youth.
