I don’t want to dogpile this person so I’m just screenshotting it. If you snitch tag them, I will block you. This makes me want to pull my hair out. We don’t do anything like tax carbon fuels appropriately for the sequelae the ignition causes here, gas would be ~$13 a gallon all up.

Let’s see, no state income tax, no property tax, where do we imagine money for things like “roads” and “police” and “hospitals” are going to come from? 45% sales tax, I guess?

We got there, no respins. Getting to put Giannis’s C stats at PG was crazy work, as was Wilt getting 24 RPG.

This is from Mozilla, you can see where they got access to Mythos if you squint hard enough.

This is an Olympic gold medalist heavyweight hitting a backflip well over his height, launching from a wrestling mat that is designed to dampen impact (and consequently your jumps). Long way to go to get his jiu-jitsu and striking squared away, but this athletic and wrestling base is tantalizing.

@sylvanaquafarms.bsky.social question: on your membership page the very first bullet is that you can’t ship eggs, but there are several more bullets about egg shipments after that. If I pay the lump sum, will eggs arrive at my house, or do I need to go pick them up?

Defensive impact looks like this: That’s Selke-ish. He’s a solidly good power play producer, but not superstar level like his EV production. Dylan Strome level there, give or take.

Matthew Schaefer belongs on the Norris ballot. Miro Heiskanen, Quinn Hughes, and Zach Werenski go reference as well.

However good you think Adam Fox is, he’s better than that. If he’s available I don’t even blink at Leonard/Hutson/First.

If I were Erik Gudbranson and had made $43 million USD in gross wages over my career, I would simply walk into a tailor shop and pay them to make me pants that fit with nice fabric instead of complaining about how hard it is to find off the rack jeans.

Look, go take those assets and call Don Waddell and see if you can get Werenski, who is a right shot and one of the very few D you could argue is better than Quinn with a straight face.

Someone on the PDOCast discord posted this and I would give up the house for Werenski.

I also expect the Caps to try to move these two in any deal with VAN, I suspect they like a couple of the Hershey guys more than what they have.

Jeux D’Enfants absolutely wrecked me and my wife is still mad at me for showing it to her more than a decade later.

If you take every absurd allegation about the Biden relatives enriching themselves at face value, you’re talking about a couple of million dollars. That is, literally, less than a day worth of Trump family graft.

My folks got my son a ball pit for when he’s over at their place and I’ve gotta admit that I’m a little envious that I didn’t get to have them as grandparents. I am also, however, *extremely* grateful that got to have them as parents instead of either set of my grandparents.

The caveat here is that Sportlogiq’s model is a black box: AFAIK, they don’t publish their methodology or their data, so take any of their conclusions with a healthy dose of skepticism. With that out of the way…

This does not sound like a quotation you give if you’ve settled on Bayern and no one else.

I’m going to screen shot this because getting dogpiled (it’s part of how the Neo-Nazi right and Dirtbag Left enforce their norms here and on Twitter, it works) sucks and I don’t want to add to it. But good god almighty.

The only MAF retirement content I’ll accept: All of you people who gave up your grudges because “he’s a great guy” and “he told Bettman to fuck off and honored Native Americans on his mask in spite of the fines” and “he’s humble and charming”, I see you. Stay hatin’.

I tried searching the patreon page and came up empty, I suppose my questions are 1) can he be taught to press at an acceptable level and 2) is he an openly secret terrible guy? These numbers really pop. fbref.com/en/players/5...

Consumers are willing to take on debt when they feel good about being able to pay it down, i.e. consumer debt being high is a *positive* sign. Housing is a genuine crisis, gotta build more of it, no matter how much left NIMBYs don’t believe in supply and demand.
