When I was 9 my Dad rented A Clockwork Orange for my older brother to watch, and I wound up watching it. I didn’t scare me, but was insanely fucked up to 9 yo destroya.
We didn’t know it at the time, but that was the best thing that could have happened to us. Guy turned out to be a bust, whose playing career and recruiting dipshittery were one and the same. Meanwhile, our back up plan in that class turned out to be another generational QB.
My first thought is they hope he’s their Eltife: Alum and well respected former legislator. And both are low key as far as politicians go.
He’s not going to burn as hot as Sharp and will be more likely to hire good people and get out of their way. And I don’t think Hegar will sacrifice everything at the altar of athletics, which may be his undoing.
I read it last summer and didn’t use any support materials or read the footnotes; liked it but I’m sure I only caught about half of it. I’ve also read ASFT… and thought it was great.
I’m now reading Oblivion, a short story collection. The multi-page paragraphs are a beating, but that’s kinda the point.
Take it back 10 years, and I’d put their body of work up against any other American band over the past 30 years.
I wonder if they would have been able to maintain such a consistently creative output if they had broken through. The ‘critically acclaimed but under appreciated’ niche has been really good to them.
If we’re talking conspiracy theories, mine is that the trade was a requirement of the NBA approving the sale of the Mavs to the Adelsons. (I don’t really believe this)
Not sure about the IRS, but she can report him to the Texas Workforce Commission. The only thing they may/can do is assess him the UI taxes he hasn’t paid and maybe interest; I don’t think there are any fines.
She owes income taxes regardless. He just fucked her over by not letting her know he wasn’t withholding.
This page has some good info from the irs https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/worker-classification-101-employee-or-independent-contractor
I’d take a look at the specialized or the red line. The Specialized has flat bars and you may like those more than drop bars, especially if you’re just looking to tool around. The redline is a cross bike so you’ll be able to get a little bit rowdy on it if you want. Both will be able to fit wider tires than the first bike you posted, which is a good thing.
Muscles get stronger faster than ligaments. And since you’re new(ish) to working out, your muscles are building strength that your tendons and ligaments may not be ready for, which could increase the risk of injury.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to add some variety to your workouts. Isometrics and static holds, work your muscles in a different way and build your ligaments and tendons. Bodyweight exercises and calisthenics develop balance, body control and overall proprioception (awareness of your body in space) This will keep you in the gym while letting the rest of your body adapt and catch up to the gains your muscles are making.
As middle aged men there’s a lot more facets to strength than lifting weights in the gym. Building balance, body control and proprioception allows our bodies to incorporate our strength and muscular gains into a literal armor that will protect us as we age.
Good luck and keep on keeping on!
