At this point I hear "retirement" as "sabbatical".

Unless Costa really wants this one, I see it going to Khamzat. Both these guys seem to like the spotlight more than the Octagon itself though, so I can see it coming down to whoever actually puts in the work ahead of the fight.

Looks cool but I think it should be its own thing, I don't see much tying it to Small Soldiers other than the basic concept of toys coming to life. Let it stand on its own merit, looks like it would do fine.

I cook 6-7 nights a week for a household of four adults. I work a full-time job, but it's WFH so I don't have commute time. This is part of the strategy, but I could do and have done it while commuting to and from work each day as well.

Each Monday, I plan out the meals for the week. I write them down. The meals are based on ingredients we have on hand as well as things which are on sale from the local ads, or which someone from the household has requested.

If any ingredients are needed for the week which we don't have, they are added to a mutual shopping list and someone picks them up while they are out.

When I'm done with work, I relax for 30-60min and then it's time for cooking. I bring out all the ingredients for the meal and get them set up near my cooking station. I bring out pans, cutting boards, utensils - whatever I feel I will need.

I try to fill "dead" time with prep for other parts of the meal - that way time is used efficiently. Sometimes I'll rope one of the others into cutting veggies or doing other prep, but i usually like to fly solo. Just some music to keep me moving and maybe a beer.

As I'm cooking, I'm also cleaning up. Utensils which are no longer going to be used are getting rinsed and put into the dishwasher. Pans are getting rinsed and set aside for washing up later. Counters are getting wiped down as needed. The idea is to have as little to do at the end as possible.

After the meal is ready, if stuff needs to cool, that's a great time for a smoke out on the porch. Then back in to eat.

Rinse and repeat. I enjoy cooking, it keeps me centered at the end of the day, and a good meal at least once per day is important. The key things I have learned are mainly to prep everything in advance which you can, to clean as you go, and to buy ingredients which overlap for multiple meals in a week.

Bonus: Make a few extra helpings and freeze them. Freezer containers are cheap, and it's generally only a small extra cost for the additional food. Then you have ready to go meals when you don't feel like cooking.

Yeah it's like a rule that you shouldn't get too excited for these extra stacked cards, but I can't help getting a bit riled up as it gets closer. The main and co are of course what I'm most excited about but as you laid out, there's hope all over the card.

I'm just banking on at least one or two being memorable

So happy to see Robbie put a button on his career like that. What a legend.

What a fight. Volk is the best, no doubt about it.

There should be an option for you to turn the custom CSS off for yourself, rather than disabling the entire feature for the minority of people who don't like it.

Speaking to its "relevancy", PHP is still by far the most widely used web language (see: WordPress).

There could be many reasons why KBin uses PHP, from general support across the widest range of platforms to accessibility of the language to facilitate extensibility, or even just because that's what they felt most comfortable developing in.

Generally speaking if code is behaving poorly, it's the code writer rather than the coding language itself.
