re: People who get married and choose not to have kids
Posted by engvol on 1/24/26 at 12:14 am to PetroBabich
I have a child and will shortly be trying for number 2, however everyone who is saying "who's going to look after you when you are old" is miles off it in my opinion.
Having children does not mean you should not plan for your old age and make provisions for it, it is not solely your kids responsibility to look free you in old age. The last thing I (we) want to be is be in our 80s and be a burden. Realistically at that point our grandchildren will be going to college and our kids focus needs to be on them not looking after us.
Nobody should have kids so they can look after you, be an adult and plan to look after yourself.

It is ridiculous that he has another job.

Why aren't the Rams running the ball.
Chicago has a bottom 5 run D, both running backs averaging over 4.5 yards a carry, but they persist with Stafford having 30 passes at under 50% completion in poor conditions he is not being accurate. It's not like this is a shootout.

Tony Blair is also on it so I'm sure that there will be plenty of focus on the WEF impact I'm sure

re: EU officials warns the US: If you take Greenland, we will take all US bases in Europe

From a national security point of view it is not a win win.
If all US military is expelled from Europe then the closest you have to Russia is India?
This board is blinded to hypocrisy of this narrative vs views on Russia with Ukraine and China with Taiwan.

And yet, it isn't for sale.
It's a dumb rhetoric which ensures Europe will be anti Trump rather than trying to focus on the good he is achieving

re: LeBron's top tier agent, Rich Paul, goes after Jordan and his brand

15 year olds who want Jordan's now don't want them because they are/were in awe of MJ.
They want them because of a perceived status of having the newest XYZ. Jordan's have long gone past Michael Jordans basketball career and can essentially stand alone by themselves.
I assume that's the point he intends to make.

Danes will still be able to send letters, using the delivery company Dao, which already delivers letters in Denmark but will expand its services from 1 January from about 30m letters in 2025 to 80m next year. But customers will instead have to go to a Dao shop to post their letters – or pay extra to have it collected from home – and pay for postage either online or via an app.
Most countries have a law that Somebody must deliver letters. If Dao stopped the government would appoint someone to do so.
I don't know about the US but the country I am familiar with I know a lot about their system. Letters cost the company to deliver and parcels earn them money. The government / rules do need to change to allow companies to make the money unless it's nationalised and see as a public service.
Montgomery was a mistake and they need interior OLine help, Goff is not good when he has to move outside of the pocket and they get a lot of pressure through the middle at the moment, hence why they tried out their retired C.
Everyone saying he's coordinator dependent has paid much attention, he took over the play calling and their O improved. Every offensive HC is dependent on their DC and vice versa, but no doubt he makes a change at OC.
I suspect they have one more chance before moves need to be made, Jameson Williams needs to get his act together given the contract he got this offseason too

How do you buy USMNT tickets?
In order to buy England away and/or tournament tickets I pay to be a member of the England Supporters Team Club which gives me access. These cheaper tickets will only be available to members of that (and then done on booking history)
1.6% of tickets at this price does not undo the betrayal to your common fan.
I suspect the best chance at tickets is waiting for countries associations to return unsold tickets and buy them later on

Would be pretty cool if it is James Maddison.

My point was length of mortgage doesn't matter with regards to people wanting to move, a 30 year fixed isn't stopping people so why would a 50
Are people staying 30 years paying off then moving?
I doubt it, therefore no difference taking 15/25/30/50 if you're moving after 6
