**The Same Ten Minutes** *A Short Story* **Part One** The coffee maker beeped three times like it always did. Reed didn't need to look at the clock. Three beeps meant 6:14. Six-fourteen meant he had exactly twenty-two minutes before he had to back the truck out of the gravel driveway, ease onto Route 9, and begin the ten minutes that belonged only to him. He poured the coffee into the same blue thermos — the one with the dent near the bottom from when he'd dropped it in the parking lot two winters ago — and stood at the kitchen window the way he always stood, looking out at the same flat stretch of Indiana morning. The fields were gray-gold in October. They were gray-...

Hey guys. This season was kind of a rollercoaster for me. I was building up to this 10k for our conference meet and felt super prepared (fueled properly, great sleep, tapered) and yet I managed to run a whole minute slower than my time last year. For reference I managed to lower my 5k from 15:38 to 15:27 this outdoor track season and ran a 32:40 10k as of last year. This most recent meet I ran a 33:30. I run on average 75 weekly miles with 16-18 mile long runs. I keep my easy runs easy and do workouts Tuesday and Thursdays (usually competing on Saturdays). I also strength train twice a week. I’m really not sure where I went wrong and how I managed to lower my 5k time but nothing else. Any ...

Flashing lights. Noise. Blood. I jolted awake, desperate to escape my nightmare. I wiped my cheeks dry and I checked my watch. Just after four o’ clock. I doubt I’ll get back to sleep anyway, Might as well get the day started. I tried the bedside light. Nothing. Battery must have run out. Hopefully it’s sunny enough today and the solar panels can get the battery replenished. The gas generator was too noisy-it made it hard to focus on my work. I reached over, struck a match and lit the candle by my bed. The warm candle’s glow spilled over the room, chasing back the shadows. I tried to forget about my dream as I walked over to the mirror hanging on the wall. It was coming back to me mo...

Hey guys, I've got a interview coming up soon and was curious what's the actual training like. Im interviewing local 181 and I've been told you do a interview which takes 15 mins, then they reach back out to do a 2 week orientation, then they rank you based on how you do (I assume) and then if you do good enough they accept you. Well what exactly is the orientation like and do they train you for 4 years at the training site or do the train you some then send you out on a job? Anyone that could better help me understand this process would be much appreciated. Lastly, I have my Class A CDL and a twic card and up to date dot physical, will this help my chances of getting accept...

I’ve owner my car since new from ‘07 to now. Next year, it’s 20 years. So I’m thinking, maybe it’s time to consider a new car. So I went to the Honda dealer to just look at the latest model of my car. Not even a test drive. I just want to see one and see what I think. I managed to escape in only an hour. But, Jeeze. An hour to just pull some keys and show me the only model of that car you have? At that, it’s used. Common. The sales manager asked if there was anything the could do to get me into that car today. Well no. It took me a year to find my current car. And showing me a used one with 49k miles, road rash on all 4 wheels, and skid marks in the passenger seat… lol....

Hey all, I had a dealership experience this week that honestly caught me off guard, and I’m trying to figure out if this is just how things are now or if I walked into a particularly chaotic store. For context, I haven’t bought from a dealer since 2001. Everything since then has been private party, so this was my first time back in a showroom in a long time. I went in to look at a 2024 car I found online listed at $21,599. The day before, I checked out one at another dealership- similar, about 10k more miles but a few extra options. That one had been listed at $19,999 plus fees, and I had already negotiated it down pretty easily to $17,500 out the door with no pressure at all. Super st...

**Trump’s Plummeting Approval is Breaking Graphs** **ICE agent who killed Renee good back on duty, Trump's sons awarded Pentagon contract for their father's war, 60 Minutes correspondent tells the truth about CBS** **By Raw America | Substack** https://preview.redd.it/et7zkxgddnyg1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=deeb937f6b5ef09e1d0c556296f1cc31ae0d1385 **Good morning, I’m Thom Hartmann.** This morning, the ICE agent who shot and killed an unarmed Minneapolis mother, Renee Good, has been quietly moved to a new posting and put back on duty, with his internal review paused indefinitely. Trump’s approval on the cost of living has dropped to neg...

Hi there, Looking for some advice before I buy parts for my 2007 Toyota 4runner sr5(4th gen). Just started hearing this clicking/ticking noise and narrowed it down to my front right wheel. Removed the caliper and rotor to eliminate that and can hear it when I put my ear to the wheel hub. I know cv axles typically make this noise when turning sharp but I hear it when driving straight or just simply by spinning the wheel hub/CV axle. Is it my CV axle or maybe wheel bearing? My CV axle boots are intact and I've put about 55k miles on them, should last til at least 70k I believe. Additionally, I have been hearing a humming noise that comes on as I approach 30mph that changes with my accel...

Hang on to your hats for this one. It's gonna be a long and wild ride. I (42F) and my ex (32M), we'll call him Lamar, were together for 7 months from July 2025 to Feb 2026. We met at the job. I started there back in Oct 2024 and he started May 2025. He didn't immediately catch my attention in that way because I wasn't looking for anyone around that time. I'd been single for 5 years, but my ex before him had been keeping me in limbo about if we're gonna get back together for all that time. Yeah, I know... I held on to unrealistic hope, but the last 2 years of my singleness is when that hope started to fade. My loyalty is a gift and a curse, but I digress. Anywa...

Before I begin I’d like to add a content warning for grief, addiction, narcissistic abuse, and child abuse. My mom is bedridden, addicted to opioids and benzos, has munchausens, possibly dealing with dementia, and is deeply manipulative. She can flip from sweet and helpless to outright abusive in seconds. It’s not just dysfunction, it’s calculated. She knows exactly how to present herself to avoid consequences. She makes Tony Soprano’s mom look like an angel, iykyk. Before my Dad died, he set her up with 24/7 professional medical care. The day after he passed, she fired all of them because they monitored her medications. Now she pays random people under the table to take care of he...

With a ton to go over on Saturday, I’ll get into what happened in the Kentucky Oaks on Friday, as well as what happened in some of the under card races, including some “Race within the Race” analysis' and, of course, some of the monetary repercussions, next week.  Just as a heads up, between **Corporate Power** winning the Alysheba Stakes at 5-1 and, even though my pick in the Oaks, **Percy’s Bar** ran off the board, the exact box of **Always a Winner** and runner up **Meaning,** who combined for an almost $100.00 exacta, picked up the slack.  I’ll get into it a little more next weekend but just know this, I have a *very large* monetary cushion for Derby Day. **Churchil...

2014 Chevy Equinox, 2.4L 4-cylinder (LEA), 125k miles. Hey, my equinox sounds terrible. Maybe my ears are untrained but it's super hard for me to say what this sound is. It idles and accelerates loudly. It slowly has gotten worse over the last year but I haven't been able to get it into a shop. I've had to have engine work done on it years ago because some sensor got gunked up with oil despite it getting regular oil changes (I was told that a shop I used to frequent most likely never changed my oil filter when they did oil changes. Most likely because of the weird placement of the filter). The attached video might not be the most useful but hopefully it tells someone somethin...

Finally have a car again. This is my second car, after my old car, a 2014 ford fusion titanium, blew up on me at 119k miles only a year after getting my license. It's a 2018 sel and is actually pretty fun to drive. It tossed around so easily and is fairly good in corners. I love this thing. Plan on tinting it soon, since being in a fishbowl *****. (Last picture is the fusion, rest in peace)

ATLANTA — Sure, it was one of the most embarrassing performances in franchise history … but let’s focus on the positive. No, seriously. The Atlanta Hawks played 87 games before Thursday, and while their [season-ending 140-89 demolition](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7245004/2026/04/30/knicks-hawks-game-6-score-result-history-nba-playoffs/) at the hands of the New York Knicks closed things out with a thud, this was a successful season. Atlanta won 46 games, took two more off a contending New York team in the playoffs … and, yes, finally avoided the Play-In Tournament. Eat your heart out, Miami Heat fans. With a huge offseason ahead and expectations that realistically didn’t e...

Now for those who say *God doesn't exist*, that's fine. Let's take that word completely off the table. However, science keeps bumping into something it can't fully name. Here is what science has found. The Higgs field is an invisible field that permeates the entire universe and gives matter its mass. Everywhere and in everything. It cannot be seen but its effects can be measured. Quantum entanglement where two particles separated by billions of miles instantly affect each other the moment one is observed. No signal passes between them nor any physical connection, yet they respond to each other instantly across impossible distances. Science has no clean explanation fo...

Hey guys, I am trying to decide what to do about my vehicle situation. As it sits currently, I own a 1998 4runner that's paid for with 330k miles. I am never selling it. I also own a 2012 Civic Si, with 120k miles on it. It's clean and in good shape, I love driving it. It's a little bit cramped, but in my day to day life that hasn't been a huge problem in the couple years that I've owned it. Except now I'm working an outside sales job and I am not provided with a car. I have a car allowance to cover some of the expenses of owning the car. I am finding that the Civic Si is hard to live with for doing sales work. Lots of short drives, in and out of the car all...

I had gone to see my older brother, who lived in a small house on the other side of town. I went with J. Now, even though J wasn’t an actual person, he was the only motorcycle that I ever owned. Traveling with J was like traveling with a best friend, and the things we’d been through together made me closer to J than anyone I’d ever met. J was a gift from my brother on my birthday the previous year. At the time, I thought it would make him happy if I visited him with it. I was right. I stayed with him and his wife for a few hours, laughing and talking about old times. I lost track of time, but as soon I noticed the sun going down, I told him I was ready to head home. “Are you sure...
