and those lazy stone age humans didn’t want to work hunting and gathering all the time so they invented agriculture.
they have to build it from scratch to do that though.
that’s only if they don’t play any ball in that time. if they play in college or overseas the clock stops, per #49 here:
THJ's contract isn't big enough to warrant more than 2nds. At least he should be able to provide some shooting for you guys though.
I think you can re-enter the draft the following year in hopes of getting picked by another team.
I don't think that's true, that defeats the entire purpose of the draft. If a team selects a player they retain the draft rights forever unless the rights are traded. but yes teams generally try to avoid hostile players for other reasons, it's usually not worth the hassle.
how does that help? doesn’t the nba team who drafts them retain the rights til they come to the nba?
i have to assume Langdon has a general plan for that already.
LA will take him if no one else does first.
yes, the force applied to THE ROCK will be much higher, but the car's mass is not relevant to the driver's reference inside the car.
Not if they crash into stationary objects like rocks, etc. In that case the amount of force the driver will experience will be 2-3 times higher compared to the amount of force a driver of a normal sedan will experience if he had the same accident.
this is not true, the deceleration (g force) imparted to passengers should be the same in either case. (all other things being equal, initial speed, crumple zones, etc). adding more mass to the car is irrelevant to the driver if you're hitting a truly immovable object.
also SUVs became the new minivan because minivans aren’t cool. with an suv you can cosplay as an off-roader who goes mountaineering on the weekends and drives uphill through snow both ways to work and back.
you can only do that so much, it would get stale very quickly.
what concerns me is they’re never going to make a show where the players never win, so that means sometimes “experts” are going to supposedly be convinced that the earth is flat. that eventuality is not going to be worth whatever benefit there may be of making flat earthers look silly (as if that hasn’t been done enough already).
they’re never going to make a show where the players never win. so that means sometimes “experts” are going to supposedly be convinced that the earth is flat on live TV. Great.
he has had some dickish moments but when you’re constantly talking publicly that’s pretty inevitable unless you’re a saint.
does he even have shows any more? why bother if they weren’t going to use him again anyway?
what about that good ole "free" speech elon?
I'm pretty sure some companies are also using it to encourage people to quit before layoffs and needing to pay out severance. Happened to me earlier this year. In December they announced we'd go from optionally fully remote, to mandatory 3-days in office in February. Then at the end of march they laid off a bunch of people.
So watch the timing at Dell, I wonder if we'll see some layoffs there in a couple months.

F1 is doing it backwards. Simplify and freeze ICE specs, and unfreeze all the electrical systems.
ICE is dead, and none of the developments make it to road cars anyway. Meanwhile, battery/EV tech needs all the development it can get and F1's have been frozen for years.
Make F1 road relevant again, not just aerospace on bubble gum tires. Let teams compete on the tech that actually matters to the motoring world.
Tell Your Representative in Congress to Reject Pro-Homeopathy Amendment

CFI calls on our supporters to help defeat a pro-homeopathy amendment being proposed for the federal appropriations bill H.R. 4368. The homeopathy lobby is pushing hard for this amendment, and we need CFI supporters to voice their opposition to their members of Congress.
Homeopathy groups such as Americans For Homeopathy Choice (AFHC) are lobbying strenuously for Appropriations Amendment #4. This amendment would bar FDA enforcement of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act against new homeopathic drug products as long as a product complies with “standards for strength, quality, and purity set forth in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States.” In other words, it would replace much-needed federal regulation with the industry’s own standards.
CFI has consistently pointed out that homeopathy is bunk science that does not work beyond the placebo effect. Homeopathic products are typically diluted to the point that no active ingredients remain. It is quack medicine and consumer fraud.
The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia’s standards of quality are not medically valid. Yet the amendment would exempt homeopathic products from FDA regulation and oversight if they comport with those standards. This amounts to an argument of “No need for federal regulation, we can regulate ourselves with our own standards even if they constitute medical fraud” – or, more succinctly, “Let the fox guard the henhouse, please.” (Indeed, CFI has tussled with the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia before.)
At the moment, AFHC and the homeopathy lobby are seeking additional co-sponsors in the House of Representatives for their amendment. This is where CFI’s supporters come in.
We need our supporters to mobilize and contact their members in the House of Representatives immediately. Please let them know, in no uncertain terms, that homeopathy cannot and must not escape federal regulation. It is crucial to keep Appropriations Amendment #4 out of the federal appropriations bill.

what are the odds that monumental creates over-the-air and streaming options for wizards, mystics, caps, etc?
We know Ted now owns NBC Sports Washington. Does that make it more or less likely that they follow other teams like the Jazz in setting up over-the-air and streaming packages?
If anyone else wants to moderate this community, let me know.
Hi guys, I mainly just created this space as placeholder because there wasn't one yet. If anyone wants to take over running it just ping me.

[Highkin - covers the Blazers] Heard this week that Washington wants to move into the top 3. Think Beal would be a non-starter for Portland but no idea how Charlotte feels about him.
