It’s not an athlete problem. It’s a development and skill problem.

By the masses, youth soccer is coached by some dads that have never played soccer before and don’t know what they’re doing.

Imagine the avg youth dad in Europe/South America coaching soccer vs US. The skillsets are instilled and developed significantly earlier than they ever are in the US.

And don’t come @me “muh not my son, I played soccer growing up!” I am talking about in general across the entire United States.
I’ll tune back in 4 years from now. Maybe Pulisic will live up to the hype a little more than he did this World Cup.
I’ve seen fish out of the water flop less than this
9 would be my preferred cutoff time, but I think 10 is a reasonable cutoff.
After 10 is late and 10:30+ seems unnecessary. By 10:30 you have had a full 2 hours of darkness to light fireworks. No reason to still be popping them off that late
The Cape Verde goalie is 40 and a free agent!!!

They just went toe to toe with the reigning world champs… just a beautiful game all around. Phenomenal game
To each their own. I think it depends on how you want to set your kids up for adulthood.


In theory, in the most extreme hypothetical— one could have a child born in 2026, kid receives the $1000 contribution and parents could max out the account every year at $5,000 annually. The kid turns 18 with a Traditional IRA balance somewhere in the ballpark of $200k.


For me, personally, if I can funnel $35k into a Roth IRA from their 529s then that will be a good enough start in saving for retirement…. a great head start in my opinion.
I have one child born before 2025 and one child entitled to the $1,000.

Planning to open one for my oldest and put $1,000 in it, but no more than that for either of them in the Trump accounts.

If none of my kids were eligible for the $1,000 I wouldn’t open one
You just open a Trump account for those kids and make a contribution. No backdooring


And kids born in 2025-2028 receive the $1,000
Trump should just pass an Executive Order to allow him to play. Let’s bully these FIFA pussies around like colleges do to the NCAA. We’re on US soil, show’em who runs the world Trump!
So now we have to go play against a country we have actually heard of before without our top goal scorer due to a questionable call that happened early in the second half of a game played today. Absolutely mind boggling and infuriating
Red card
- out for rest of game
- out for ENTIRE next game
- team goes down to 10 players
- FIFA amputates one of your feet

Anything else?!?
What a fricking stupid rule
Step on someone’s ankle and immediately remove it after half a second.

RED CARD.

Out for two games!

What an absolute joke
As a founding employee and responsible for 70% of the revenue, I assume you would have serious leverage in negotiating pay.

That ultra niche industry knowledge you have is irreplaceable.

Seems like reinventing the wheel in your 30s with kids & wife at home + mortgage will be challenging and certainly take valuable time away. Will it be worth it when it’s all set and done? If so, maybe it is worth the jump…

I have to think if compensation is the only issue and it’s a small company (relatively speaking) and given the very niche industry, it seems like everything would be negotiable
Implement mandatory medical evaluations for drivers starting at age 70, with renewals every 5 years, to ensure they are still fit to drive.
Think about how many accidents are caused by elderly drivers experiencing cognitive decline or sudden medical emergencies behind the wheel. It's a serious safety issue and will only get worse as people are living longer
Cost per kWh is 13.76 cents per kWh.

Over the past 12 months I am averaging 1,415 kWh per month
At least Mississippi has the competence to build dams, create lakes, and give their citizens actual state parks
Now you have me curious, any reason y'all don’t finance in Louisiana?
Thank you for this information.

Our backyard faces south and roof has strong direct sunlight. We’re in south Louisiana, and not much shade at all hits the backside of our house where the solar panels would be installed.

We are also planning to be in our house for the long term with no plans to move.

We have spray foam on the roofline and it is well insulated. Even in summer months it isn’t an issue getting cooled down.

I know I missed the window on the federal deduction and the payout rates Entergy give are absolute garbage for new installs…
I am concerned about what the cost of energy might be in 10-20 years from now… So I’m also interested in a home battery to store energy, again since the rates with Entergy suck I feel like this could make sense?

Any opinion on Solar Alternatives, Inc?

Good to know. Yes, asphalt shingles. I’m sure that’s something the solar panel companies wouldn’t mention either. Thanks

Solar Panels - Is it worth it?

Posted by Tiger4life306 on 6/25/26 at 1:22 pm
Anyone have experience with solar panels on their home? I'm currently in the research phase for a home solar system. I’m trying to map out a realistic ROI and look past the marketing gloss.

Cost worth it? Not worth it?
Entergy bill reduced by ___%?
Damage/no damage from install? Maintenance cost/repairs?

For those (if any) who have had a system running for over a year: how closely has your actual production matched your initial quotes? If you paired it with battery storage, has the performance justified the upfront cost? Would love to hear any insights on system reliability and net metering experiences.

I find myself getting more and more Entergy fatigue with these bills only going higher over the years…. pair that with all these data centers entering the state and it’s got me very curious.
Unfortunately, all in attendance ordered diamond bracelet martinis all night with their tyrannosaurus rex ribeyes so all the donations went to paying the bill
