Zhang is 2 time ufc champion and has even fought IN CHINA.

If the government is giving this guy a hard time, it isn’t for doing mixed martial arts.

I’m almost finished reading it. So far, it’s the best translation of the Odyssey that I’ve ever read. The language is more accessible and modern and it flows and reads much more like a novel.

I minored in classic civ in college and have read 2 other versions of the Odyssey previously. She did a great job.

Yep! We fled Lebanon during the war. I live in the US, but have been back a few times since.

Are you Druze? If so, we may be related 🤣

I honestly would get one if I could afford it.

It is significantly more. I mean, it’s one of those things that isn’t that much more in the scheme of things, but when you’re scrambling to replace a roof, it’s a lot.

I paid $8k for a new roof a few years back. I got estimates. Metal would have been about twice as much.

Hard to justify when a decent shingle lasts 15-20 years.

Doesn’t film have a definition roughly equivalent to 2K?

Not sure why they didn’t just do a digital transfer to 2K.

You literally cannot imagine the doses of oxytocin and dopamine when your kid looks you in the eyes and smiles for the first time. All the wonderful moments are like a goddamn fix.

It’s literally the only reason (most) parents don’t murder their kids when they’re being shitty little assholes.

But seriously, you simply don’t realize how heady a hit of emotional bonding-feel good cocktail it is until it happens to you.

And this is coming from someone who spent half the 90s candy flipping.
