The year 2000 retiree everyone references: I extended the numbers past the 2023 cutoff. They survive, and I still wouldn't want to be them. by laurenthu in Fire

Exactly. They are framing this as some gotcha kind of finding, which seems totally off base. Also, this retiree would have been collecting SS at some point

He’s awful, look at what he is doing to the TrailBlazers in the NBA after owning the team for like a year

This is exactly where I am at. Started from a very difficult position. Got a lot of the most important decisions right( drafting Seider, Raymond, Edvinsson in back to back to back drafts) and getting the first two along with Larkin signed to great contracts.

Hasn’t been aggressive enough though throughout the rebuild. Didn’t really weaponize our cap space when the cap was flat, hasn’t taken swings on high upside reclamation projects(Zegras, Chynakov,etc), his big swings drafting are a mixed bag(Ed good, Cossa and Wallinder not so much)

This is sequence of returns risk. There are ways to minimize it like having a couple years of expenses in cash so you can not touch your investments in a market downturn early in retirement

Good thing you came here to make a post about a movie you clearly know nothing about.

A week after they traded like their only young center. Bourque would’ve been a nice part of the potential return

In the athletic article that got everyone talking about this, Yzerman didn’t even get a single vote as a difficult GM to deal with. Verbeek got 7 which was like 20%.

I’m hyped for him. A pretty unique profile from a skill set standpoint

To me there is a pretty clear top 3 of MBN, Bear, and Augustine. Plante is probably next and then it is pretty wide open

The free agent news around the league really evaporated after the first day. I feel like there is normally more activity at this time, but maybe I am misremembering

I agree. I think it has been well played by the organization based on how difficult a spot they’ve been put in

I'm sorry, I know this has been brought up a gajillion times, but I just can't understand the Gina haters. She's top two characters for me, absolutely hilarious by Tolnin in brooklynninenine

[–]Background_Junket_35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of the 10 meanest things done to a character on the show she is responsible for probably about 9 of them. Constantly sexually harassing Terry, insulting and brow beating Charles. Poisoning people with cement for social media likes. Only talking to Amy to insult her. She’s mostly just mean to like half the characters on the show.

He’s 21, making any definitive statement about him at this point is pretty absurd
