Smith by name, Concrete Walrus by nature.

Don't ask.

@wolfstrength I have made all four of these mistakes in the past before eventually moving beyond them. I look forward to making the next mistake and finding the bottleneck I need to resolve.

@Corballyred Top 10 would not be unreasonable. Top 20 for certain.

@BowTiedHRT @BowTiedUM Sorry to resurrect an old post but what about the opposite? How to address a T that is high but estrogen is only around 20 and libido and energy have disappeared?

@CoffeeBlackMD @highriskfitness @PGC1a_RB Why is it that you don't care much for DHEA in men?

The same World Cup seat is $700 on FIFA's official site and $200 on SeatGeek right now. That gap is not a glitch.

Dynamic pricing solved the upside for FIFA. Demand climbs, the price climbs, $60 group seats turn into $700 matchups, the US opener hit $1,940 at face. The downside is where the system breaks. The second FIFA cuts an official price below what someone already paid, it invites refund demands, chargebacks, and a consumer-protection fight across three host countries.

So the official number cannot fall. It is a published price attached to thousands of fans who bought higher, which turns every markdown into a liability.

Read it as economics instead of conspiracy and it sharpens. FIFA overpriced, then built a channel where lowering the real price is legally radioactive. The secondary market is the only place left to discover what the seats actually clear at.

Those contiguous blocks landing on SeatGeek at $198, $228, $230 are FIFA's true demand curve leaking out where the official site can keep pretending it doesn't exist.

The elegant part: FIFA's own resale marketplace takes 15% from the buyer and 15% from the seller. So even as inventory clears below face, FIFA collects a toll on the way down. They earn on the markdown they can't announce.

Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde settling near $200 while the official page holds the line tells you the market-clearing price was set months ago. FIFA just can't be the one to say it out loud.

Ron Maclean:

And you know it was 1984 when Montreal’s David Wilcox sang Eye of the Hurricane. A sign maybe, as 42 years layer, that city would see not one, but a team of Hurricanes blow through La Belle Province. Now the eye is set on putting Sin City Knights - on ice.

Kyle?

@badasskachii I don't know, but I hope Arsenal signs them.

Strength training is longevity training. One doesn’t exist without the other.

If you don’t believe me consider this: the first day you call someone to help get off the toilet is the first day spent in a 10x15 room that smells like disinfectant.

Getting off the crapper doesn’t require longevity. It requires force production.

Strength training isn’t always “chasing PRs”. At some time that will become impossible anyway but there is little reason to cut yourself off at the knees just because of age. The body’s adaptable and isn’t suddenly and magically broken at 69.

@CANMNT_Official Hay River, NWT. Thought about popping down for the match after work, since Edmonton is the closest decent size city to here. Then I remembered it's still an eleven hour drive due south.

@Mike_Leach1976 I picked up some great Cat 1 tickets to the final group stage game against the Swiss a couple days ago, too. Not even resale, just from FIFA continuing to trickle tickets out.

@HLTCO I said as much at the time. If Arsenal had to score, it was much better for PSG that it were so early because this is exactly what always would have happened.

@HendrickD82 This could be like Jobs returning to Apple. Or it could be the biggest blow up ever. Either way, I'm here for it.

[Tim Smith @timsmithrx]

@CoffeeBlackMD They're mostly gone in Canada. My hometown lost its last location a few years ago but I think one opened again last year.

I think they're sneakily underrated and offer something different to the rest of the market

@Union__Jacks @NoLore I like Wab personally and his charisma and messaging. I just don't think the rubber is meeting the road when it comes to policy and achievements.

[Tim Smith @timsmithrx]

@Union__Jacks @NoLore ... budget was ludicrous. Some backsliding on climate. Failure to press forward on energy security through solar and wind. I'm not saying it's all bad. But almost from day 1, I've been disappointed. Yes, cleaning up a PC mess, but that message only holds for so long.
