Rock League Unveils Star-Studded Rosters and Team Names for Curling’s First Professional Season

This is the first I'm hearing about this but I'm kind of into it.

As a Canadian fan it's always seemed a little odd that the only times I get to see my favourite teams throughout the year are during the Slams and then at the end of the season with the Scotties/Brier, while other sports get to watch their teams play multiple times a week all season long.

I'm curious how this will pan out and what the community's thoughts are.

Tried Vyvanse for the first time today

I took 30mg of Vyvanse about 4 hours ago for the first time. I am undiagnosed and this medication was not prescribed to me, but I hope it's ok to post here.

I'm curious what the effects are supposed to feel like for ADHD symptoms? Right now I mostly just feel kinda zen, and I'm honestly a little underwhelmed at my ability to focus on tasks; it seems nearly completely the same as any other day, but I'm more relaxed and maybe zoning out a bit more than usual.

I really was hoping to be able to sit down at my desk this morning and start hammering away at my work more effectively. That has not been the case so far.

Question about professional team power structure/dynamic

I'm familiar with club level curling where teams aren't necessarily crafted to maximize wins, which is clearly the case at the highest level of play.

My question is how these team decisions are made and who has final say.

Other team sports usually have some organization behind them with ownership and management and coaches that make decisions on the roster, sponsors, training/practice etc. Does this all fall to the skip to delegate or is it more like a democracy? Maybe each team handles decisions differently?

I was just musing on the Ship of Theseus while watching the World Women's and it got me thinking about replacing each player one at a time until the entire team is different, at what point it becomes a new team.

Tire bead

This is a Schwalbe studded winter tire I bought a few months ago, and I'm not sure what exactly I did to get it like this but for some reason the bead seems to be warped or stretched. It doesn't want to fit my rims. There's a small section of the tire that's popped out of the rim, and when I try to lever it back into place the bead pulls out further down.

I've tried this tire on two different rims with the same results, and to make doubly sure it isn't the rims I put on one of my old Schwalbe Marathon tires which fit perfectly. Both tires are 40-635 700b.

Is this repairable? I don't have much experience dealing with tires but I find it unusual that this tire seemed to be fine until now when I changed out the wheel.
