This happens to a certain percentage of all wine. It's why there's that whole system of tasting the wine before it's poured. That's actually to test if it's "corked," or contaminated. Even a very nice bottle of wine could be corked, and it's not unheard of to have to reject a bottle.

Same stuff can happen with cheap wine, although it's actually rarer, because they use synthetic cork or forego cork altogether. It can still be contaminated elsewhere in the process, though.

I think the issue is your pricing.

You aren't going to get $1750 for this.

There's a recent sale of the same model, to which you replied, that went for $1250. I mean Chrono24 will sell you this for $1550. And that's a legitimate seller, not some guy on reddit

Post this in WatchExchange.

There are places that aren't zoned and are open, but they might not be near wherever you are precisely. If your friend is comfortable leaving the car a few or many blocks away, there's parking behind the Jewel on Paulina.

Read the article. That's the study.

Again, you're comparing the need to register a vehicle to slavery and anti-sodomy laws.

These things are not comparable.

Put away the money that you need to make rent and other major expenses. It's not worth saving a month's interest if it means you might miss a car payment.

Pay off Chase first. It is the highest interest and also the smallest balance, so there's pretty much no argument there.

After that I'd say tackle Discover. The interest is only barely lower than the Citi card, and it'll be mentally easier if you can get this down to just one card left.

If you have a spouse, talk to your spouse. If it's just kids, know that they're in your corner even if they don't know what's at stake.

You can do this. Your family loves you, and they're all on your side, just as you're on theirs.

Is this actually against the rules? This post hasn't been removed.

It can be nerfed. I don't think there's precedent yet for nerfing a gimmick, but that's what they've got to do.

Option 1: once busted, instead of defense-1, it's defense-2 and attack-2.

Option 2: the disguise busts on the first charge move whether a shield is used or not.

Option 3: completely flip the gimmick. It gets a free shield, but it also loses one attack and one defense every time it's hit with a charged move, whether a shield or a disguise shield is used.

Bigger problem in ultra league, where it takes 296xl to do so.

It's one thing to make certain pokemon good and also difficult to obtain.

It's another to make the one pokemon that's far and away the best also nearly impossible to get.

This was my first thought as well. It's almost like Hamas wants to shore up support for Likud?

We really need to ban AI.

If you can't take the time to write up your story, how can you expect people to take the time to write up advice? How do we even know this is genuine?

Ok so first off, to everyone attacking Lorier, we have no idea what the prior owner did here. I own a SARB that I got cheap because the prior owner bent the stem. I replaced it. It was simple. New in box isn't always true.

And along those lines, fixing this is probably even simpler. If you can grab the stem itself securely while not touching the crown, do so, then tighten the crown.

If you can't, you can do one of two things. If you're confident with watch maintenance, which I think we all should be at this price point, look up how to pull out the stem. Do so, tighten the crown, then put the stem back. If you're not confident, have a watch shop do it.

You keep talking in the comments about how NOT confronting this stuff is how Trump came to power, or at least how the Christian Right did.

You could not possibly be more wrong.

People who confront this stuff in the wrong way are an ENORMOUS part of the persecution complex that REALLY SERIOUSLY DID galvanize the right in the last three cycles.

Self-righteous, hyper-aggressive, easily-triggered atheists such as yourself are the very image of the left which so convinces the right that this country is collapsing and must be reclaimed. YOU are what they see as the alternative should Trump lose. YOU are what prevents them from voting Democrat. YOU are why many Christians really do vote for Trump despite finding him absolutely noxious.

This might be difficult to grasp, but in addition to the Pete Hegseths of the world, there are also millions of actual Christians out there. Decent, pious people who believe in Jesus' teachings in good faith. And there are millions of them who find Trump abhorrent and want an alternative, but who have come to believe that it's either Trump or... you. And they reluctantly choose Trump over you.

Unarguable rights my ass. If you aren't prepared to argue your position, or if you think that a political view isn't up for debate, you have no place in our discourse. What I actually think you mean here, when you keep saying that none of this is up for debate, is that you're too sheltered intellectually to know how to argue a damn thing. But rather than admit to that, you just shut down by saying none of this is up for debate.

I have news for you. This absolutely is up for debate. Abortion rights have been up for debate for 50 years. They are in very active debate in many states, as referenda attempt to return these rights to women.

None of this is going to be won by just ceding the debate and refusing to participate because it's "unarguable."

Wow.

Please stop talking. You are not helping.

I'm assuming you're making this up because nothing you're saying strikes me as credible.

You're inventing a new hypothetical where somehow the cop is liable for half and the city is liable for the other half? And there is no joint and several liability? So in addition to creating a hypothetical legal framework around being able to sue cops individually, which does not currently exist at any scale, we're creating a second hypothetical world where... cops are liable for half, and the city is liable for half? And there is no joint and several liability?

You did not have a conversation with lawyers about this. If you had a conversation with lawyers, it was about something else, and you may or may not in good faith think it was about what you claim.

Well it's all hypothetical to begin with, since you're imagining a scenario where you can sue a cop individually for his or her own actions.

You did not just speak with every attorney on your police brutality case in the last five minutes, and they did not all disagree with you. If you do speak with a lawyer, ask them if they'd rather try to collect from the city or from a disgraced cop. That's the question.

It's awesome having someone here with some credibility who can say things like this.

Practically, you'll always sue the city. Collecting from the city is simple. Collecting from a disgraced cop is mostly pointless. Lawyers wouldn't even take the case, at least not on a contingency basis, because even if they win, there wouldn't be money to collect

Is there any way a reporter can answer whether or not the ballot question about taxing corporations is designed to gin up support for this head tax?

Like, what's the history of that ballot question? Who pushed it?

So vote for Brandon Johnson, the guy who will play hardball with SEIU?
