On one of my neighborhood bicycle jump events, I crashed off the seat, caught both feet under the pedals, and tore the toenails off of 4 toes.

Indescribable pain

Hailey Welch, AKA the "Hawk Tuah" girl, is in some real hot water after her crypto coin surged, then crashed, with investor fans holding the bag. Could she be investigated by the SEC and possibly charged with a crime? Prosecutor Dave Aronberg, AKA the Florida Law Man, discusses why Welch's 15 minutes of fame may finally be up.

12/17/24 In a case that’s horrified France and shocked the world, 49 men are accused of raping Gisele Pelicot after her husband, Dominique Pelicot, allegedly drugged her repeatedly and left her unconscious. The abuse took place over nearly 10 years. CNN has gained exclusive access to a police report containing thousands of messages exchanged by Pelicot and the accused in chatrooms, on Skype and over text, revealing how the alleged crimes could have happened. While the website that Pelicot used to allegedly organize the abuse has been shut down, a CNN investigation has uncovered new forums where rape and sexual abuse are still actively discussed.

they won't do deep cleaning but they're terrific for daily wiping. You can't not mop for 2 weeks and then boom swiffer to the rescue.

Its more like...ok before I go to bed, after kids spill dinner. I'm gonna mop up real quick......and I'm going to do thay once,twice, or 3 times a day. Then, when I really want to clean on the weekends I'm gonna bring out something with more gusto and scrubbing power

Dumb or maybe not so dumb question time.
I buy tickets for a lot of events through brokers and "secondary" markets. Meaning StubHub, Ticketmaster "re-sell", Seat Geek, etc.
Sporting events, concerts, etc.
Often I purchase a ticket not knowing if I will receive it within a few minutes, a few days, a few weeks, or the day of the event.

1. What possible benefit/s is there for the seller (person who is selling the ticket) and the intermediary (ticket "broker") to not transfer the ticket in a quick manner?
2. Let's say I pay $500 for a ticket. The "broker" gets a "commission". The higher the price of the ticket, the more money the "broker" receives. If the market goes up and I want to resell a ticket I have paid for but have not yet received, I can't sell the ticket, and therefore, the "broker" receives no "commission" from my reselling the ticket. Seems like a bad thing for them.
Am I wrong to feel that it's bullshit (wrong? stupid?) that the broker won't allow me to sell the ticket (THAT I PAID FOR AND THAT THEY OWE ME "DELIVERY" FOR) on their website?
3. I have very mixed feelings but I primarily feel that people shouldn't be allowed to resell tickets for a profit. Do you agree or disagree?
Life is one giant Gutterism.
