Confession of the Day
Basically I met my bf 4 years ago, he was running an event company until Covid started. The last event he had failed and he hasn’t had one since.
He moved in almost right away & asked me to support him with his new venture, which is a blockchain mobile app, he gave me 49%. I’m a ui/ux designer and digital marketing specialist and have been freelancing since 2015, I was making decent money for just me on my own, had a sole proprietor etc… so I was happy to help. Since I agreed to help, he thought it wasn’t worth him getting a job because he wanted to focus on the business, he was convinced that income would start coming in within a few months, despite me telling him that may be unrealistic.
What Was It Like To Fight Americans During World War 2?
If you were a German fighting Americans at the start of Operation Torch in Tunisia, you’d have a mixed view of American soldiers.
They were certainly brave, but they lacked experience of the British and ran into ambushes that the Brits had learned to avoid in 1941.
Their equipment was generally good, and they were well supplied.
So well supplied in fact, that you and your unit was evacuated to Sicily after your own supplies dwindled to nothing and the Americans were able to flank you.

Poll of the Day
I’m seeing this girl since three months and we get along very well, we never had sex even if there were time I thought it was going to be the case.
Two days ago she told me and showed me her giant clit (5 inches), which kind of look like a penis. I knew it existed but never saw this in my real life.
I really like her and a don’t want to be shallow but I’m confused. I’m trying to be supportive and comprehensive but I’m not sure how the sex can be like in a situation like this one.
Is this a dealbreaker for you?
How To Finish What You Start
(photo: RUN 4 FFWPU)
Being a productive person comes down to one thing: You finish what you start. Period.
Projects unfinished, goals left behind, jumping for one thing to another, all of that reinforce the identify of being a lazy person.
You’re not a lazy person, simply you don’t finish what you start.
But, before we get into the tips, let’s go quickly over some of the mistakes that prevent us from finishing what we start.

What Exactly Are These Oil Rig Workers Doing?
They’re adding another length of rod to go deeper. The brown liquid that sprays out isn’t oil, it’s drill mud which is literally just premixed mud which is added to the hole to help stabilize the sidewalls and also cool off the bit.
The big mechanical brace they move around is used to hold the active rod in place while spinning a different rod in or out.
The brace built into the floor around the active rod hangs the whole drill column in place while extracting, which can weigh tens of thousands of pounds suspended over a hole that can be thousands of feet deep.
The chain is used to create friction and tension on the rod to pull it into place horizontally when trying to slot the next length of rod. In some cases it also provides extra tension when tightening the rod connection.
The stuff he brushes the threads with is pipe thread grease to help disconnect the rods after inducing incredible pressure on them from drilling.
