Change your luggage combo too.

Porter was pretty streaky, and disappeared for games in the playoffs. if Johnson can be more consistent, especially in playoffs it is a win. What they do with the extra $ saved from Porter is also a good question I'm curious to see how they answer. Denver being out so early was just weird this year.

When an article about VC-owned private car hailing apps not being convenient is considered failed "public transit". Imagine how hard the lobby will be by VC owned Uber and the rest of its ill against developing transit near stadiums. Their dynamically priced margins depend on busses, rail and subways not existing.

I generally think of it as the combination of poor project management dependent on 3rd party consultants, mix in the larger infrastructure of state being aligned with corps on not wanting it to work "too" well, and large governments being unfortunately comprised of people and structures inexperienced in change--which exacerbates #1 on my list.

Philly was miserable last year, so PGs numbers reflected that: PG had his most complete season ever 2 years ago and finally showed he was ready to carry and be the man in the playoffs. If embiid hadn't fallen apart a long with apparently all their team chemistry, they should have been playing and probably beating NY in this year's conference finals. As it was, they missed that mark by miles.

Anyway, Kawahi has been status quo for as long as he's been in LA, if he happens to be playing in a given year it's a surprise. Take PG over that any day, Kawahi hasn't added much except years to his game.

And by infuriated trump, they mean infuriated his election box funder attendees Bezos, Cool, Pichai. Of course I could be way off and it may be an innocent coincidence...🤑

Friends. It was like Seinfeld, but without acting, writing, humor or staying power.

I don't know what's so hard to grasp;

  • immigrants are bad because they steal American jobs
  • immigrants are good because exploitative industries can't run without desperate, no-option workers
  • immigrants are bad because they're free loaders
  • immigrants are good because they pay far more tax than they collect in benefits, illegal or legal
  • immigrants are bad because they keep American wages down
  • immigrants are good because they keep tech wages down so we should expand the visa programs tech companies lobbied for

As long as you know to which audience he's speaking, corporate funders or everyone else, he's been completely consistent.

What about states? Ever had to call unemployment? Lucky enough to be in a US state with paid leave? They are websites that make 1998 1.0 look decent. Their phone trees just dump you when you call them and say they are overloaded. No email, no ticket support online. So no web, phone or email support for those you are beholden to.

States aren't trying to turn a profit, what is the incentive to have unemployment and paid leave broken in states that have passed them as law?odt of the states with paid leave tout them and promote how great they are but make the process a gauntlet of cirizen-hating obstacles.

Looking at you CA, OR and WA.

Wonder what percent of these drivers voted Republican in PA? Going by county the numbers would say quite a lot.

Funny how they want the federal government to support them but voted in someone with a written plan to remove all consumer and worker protections that exist.

Sucks to suck.

 

Hello, would love to see the option to mute/filter posts by some criteria, e.g. down vote score of -10 or greater.

Down voting is supposed to make bad content less visible, it would be nice to allow users to not see troll, bot and other low quality posts based on their preferred criteria.

 

The Melo pick, while not surprising, is disappointing. I can't think of many players who did less with his talents and the situations he had. I had hoped that the NBA would stop honoring chuckers after the 90s; the last 10 years has seen the true elevation of "team" ball, San Antonio in 14/15 and GS for their stretch (and I'd argue Boston's failed few years showed you simply cannot win with hero ball and no defense and when Tatum finally stopped trying to be Kobe they finally won but I'm not here to argue about Boston).

Melo was never able to put aside his ego, arrogance or ignorance and learn to be part of a system on offense, let alone defense which he showed consistent contempt for. The closest he got to competing was in Denver--and that was mostly thanks to Chauncey and over-performances by most of the rest of the team. He immediately took that great team and opportunity and decided to get a bag instead, moved to NY and took himself out of competitive basketball in hims prime so he could be a NY superstar and work on his brand and celebrity which Denver couldn't offer. He took less money to go to NY, and because he demanded a trade before his contract was up, it forced NY to give up most of the young talent they had--so he arrived to a historically struggling basketball city that had been building a nice young core that it had to gut to get him. I don't recall if they ever even made the playoffs with Melo. He should have been booed at every touch for his duration there.

Melo never wanted it in the NBA, shrunk in the big moments, never committed to any sacrifice nor leading by example...until he finally had a mini-renaissance with a reduce role on the Blazers--something had he done it years prior would have made him a wicked weapon as a 6th man, but with that ego it wasn't happening.

If Melo gets in, Bradley Beal should get it. Can score with their eyes closed but want no part of what it takes to win. Hopefully the last relics of a dinosaur era where stats didn't matter.


Howard did more and did enough. Intensely unlikable guy, and while his ring wasn't really "his", he played some nice support minutes to AD and added value and managed to keep his idiocy in check thanks to the bigger dogs having him on a leash. Howard deserves HOF in my book.

 

Super brave Caucasian commissioners decide committee they do not directly benefit from does not have a purpose, in a wise and comprehensive evaluation showing exactly who is a member of their community worth investing in.

Program had no funding and cost nothing other than ~4 hours of each program member’s time related to the program each month.

Please keep this in mind when thinking about where you will travel, vacation, live and do business with in Oregon. If you'd like to share your thoughts with the county commissioners: board@deschutes.org

Hi, I'm in the US and non-car safety is appalling. I live in a semi-urban area and get nearly hit, obstructed or aggressively cut off at crosswalks or driveways nearly every single time I run, which is every other day.

Rather than try to make the case with stats showing no local enforcement of pedestrian code, I've decided for my and likely my future lawyers sale I should just record and montage it. When I'm inevitably disabled or killed by one of these selfish dumbasses, at least it will make for simple settlements, and prosecutions .

I'm in the market for a headmounted/head strap camera, preferably with a microphone option. I googled a bit and there are some go-pro-ish options but they all seem pretty big and heavy, made for mountain biking or swimming, etc. anyone have ideas or links for a lighter option? Don't need 4k and 400gb of storage, just enough for an hour or video and audio at reasonable resolution.

TIA

 

It steadily has dropped for a year or more and I can't take it anymore. If I replace will they fix? I pulled it off and even with the water off there is still water coming out of the pipe at a slow, slow drip pace. Is it the water shut off that needs help? Would of course prefer the cheaper fix but if a new head isn't going to stop the leak it'd be good to know.

TIA
