I've been starting the process of off-lining all of my work for the last few months. Setting up something like Unraid to store all your data is fairly easy, then from there you can just give people direct download links that don't have to go through a 3rd party.

You can also snag 1.5mL or 5mL centrifuge tubes off of amazon for fairly cheap. They have snap tops so you may want to tape them to make sure they stay sealed. The 1.5mL fit the full nib inside but you won't be able to reach the last .5mL. A 5mL will let you get the nib to the very bottom.

"Mostly my age" really throws AC under the bus 😂 The opportunity to go home and write for your childhood team is incredible, especially when they happen to be the Bulls. Enjoy it!

Hell, there were even a couple jump balls in the post season where Dub was going up against a wing or a guard that it was obvious that training on the first tip for 10 or so games made them much more comfortable as a team.

There were a lot of homers that said "This is awful, but" when iHart, Chet, JWill, and KRich were down, because we knew it was going to force some crazy positional mixups. Look at JDub's switch defense; that developed as well as it did because he had to play the 5.

I totally understand; that was the point of the question. He essentially asked, "There are some people who are concerned because of things you've said in the past, how would you alleviate those concerns?" and he went directly into his beliefs around non-violence and institutional goals as Mayor.

No, because again, that's what Cuomo or any politician would want. Otherwise they wouldn't be in politics. Are you really making the argument that you're upset that Colbert isn't platforming him? Also (if you even watched it before raging) did you miss the 5 jokes about him being a predator?

Lucas Pollet @lpollet.bsky.social · 24/06/2025
This is *such* a disingenuous misrepresentation of what that interview was. Candidates would kill for the opportunity Colbert gave him; to calmly address his biggest political weakness in front of a sympathetic audience and a television audience that is predominately the demo he needs to sway.

He has always struggled with in game adjustments. It has, by far, been his biggest weakness. Dort completely locked up TJ, then we put Caso on him and he scored on like 5 straight possessions.

Lucas Pollet @lpollet.bsky.social · 23/06/2025
We have got to put Dort back on TJ. Caso just can't keep up with him or body him out of the paint.

I just don't know how you regulate it in much less clear cut instances than something like a concussion. I don't remember seeing what grade of strain he had, but I'd imagine it wasn't a grade 3 strain. I think it'd be hard for the league to rule that a team must bench a player with a grade 2 strain.

Lucas Pollet @lpollet.bsky.social · 23/06/2025
There are thankfully more stringent rules around concussions & I could understand making an argument for expanding protocols around other serious injuries. If I think of it as labor vs ownership in some other industry I'm totally on board with you, so there's definitely some bias on my side.

Lucas Pollet @lpollet.bsky.social · 23/06/2025
Teams would opt to take the risk too. There is no guarantee to get back to the Finals, let alone a game 7. If you pull the player you are guaranteeing a what-if. If they play they may or may not be more seriously injured.

Lucas Pollet @lpollet.bsky.social · 23/06/2025
That's fair. I think my sentiment is better expressed as it has to be totally down to the player to decide to risk it. I think the team should have agency to say "No" but not the power to say "you must."

Seriously. No one wants to see that.

Lucas Pollet @lpollet.bsky.social · 23/06/2025
After OKC lost in 2012 most of us thought that was great experience for the team and we still had an amazing shot at a couple of Championships with that core. We didn't get back to the finals for 13 years. It needs to be totally the player's decision, but you can't blame them for taking the risk.

Good Lord. I did not manifest this. I wanted a good healthy game. That was awful to watch.

You could see the trainer come out and ask and Hali immediately said "I did" while slamming the court. God that is awful.

I don't normally have a bad reaction to sports injuries, but that was the worst thing I've seen on a basketball court since PG's knee.

I got dumped out of the app after about 20 minutes and had to start over. My desktop browser has been sitting in it for about 50 minutes and my mobile browser has been in for about 30 minutes with zero action on either.

Nice of him to do it a second time just to make sure it was a bad idea though.

A play so nice they ran it twice. I love this team.

"No one in the building expected that from Cason Wallace." No, just about every Thunder fan did. Because we watch the games.

Our rotation is 9 deep already at 11 minutes into the game. I love this team.

You will not find someone that dislikes Golden State more than me. That was a clean block. If this is representative of how poorly the post-season is going to be officiated, it's going to be a long month...

Hell no, you go back and do Hang next time. But seriously Long December is phenomenal and I'd go crazy if someone broke that out at karaoke precisely because I'd be ready for a break from all the Niki Minaj and Icona Pop. (Maybe I shouldn't go to Karaoke bars)

My only annoyance with the play-in is that it feels like a disadvantage to the 1 seed to be waiting for the play ins to finish to know who they're playing. Sure, they're playing the lowest seed, but it's still changing your prep until the last minute.

Also interested. I liked the texture and thickness of sticker mule's stuff, and felt like their white border on die cuts were a little thinner than the alternatives. I tried a couple of different shops since and wasn't a fan, so I just haven't bought anything for around a year...

Lucas Pollet @lpollet.bsky.social · 04/04/2025
I'd say go watch any of the dozen of videos of Dort doing essentially the same this season, but our defense is so good we only have like 5 clutch-time games this season.

I will riot in the streets is Draymond wins DPOY over Dort. Every single voter who puts Draymond up for DPOY should have their voting rights revoked.

You can see JWill yell "let's go mark" in the middle of the DJ saga. The players were absolutely in on it. Absolutely loved it

I think this is the worst officiated Thunder game I've seen since the last time they played the Warriors. It is *incredible* how god awful the NBA officiates against the Thunder. Shai is getting grabbed left and right with no call. Dort has been hit in the head twice and had the foul called on him.

That might be the best quarter of Thunder Basketball I've ever watched. The hype was up there with Russ eliminating the Nuggets.

How the hell was that not a travel? Giannis air-balled and got the rebound for the tip... The number of blatantly missed calls in the last 2 minutes is utterly wild.

I rage cancelled our Youtube TV subscription after they raised the price to $83/mo this week. Ended up getting a Sling sub for ABC tonight for $20 for the first 2 months and $40 after that. So tired of how fragmented the streaming landscape is becoming, and sounds like it's going to get worse...
