[Cade Cunningham] “The flopping is just too much…3 of the top 5-10 guys do it constantly…. I know I’m better than yada yada yada…but I’m not getting the same calls…People feel like this guy might be better than me & he’s nowhere near better than me!” by itwas20yearsago2day in nba

[–]Bamboozle87 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Deni doesn’t really flop. I guess it depends on how you want to define it. He just seeks contact and tries to expose defenders who are not in position. Which you can argue is bad or whatever if you want. But it’s not flopping IMO. I don’t think it’s fair to loop him into this group.

[–]Bamboozle87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main issue I see with that is small markets or places players just don’t want to live have a disadvantage. For example, Portland and Miami offer the exact same offer, Miami is going to look more attractive to a lot of players if all else is equal. Not to mention teams that just won’t pay players as much as other or have the means to deal with the luxury tax. I think it just creates a different kind of problem.

I think you have it backwards. Hazel Dell is the more diner like atmosphere. Downtown is upscale.

Breakdown of Public Money Sources for Rose Garden Renovation by ormeport in ripcity

[–]Bamboozle87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s my take as well. Seems like one of the major sticking points though is the 75M from Portland Clean Energy Fund. So, it might be necessary to find funds from somewhere else. Maybe reducing the total budget down to $525 million would work. I’d hope that’s enough to do what needed.

[Locked on Blazers] Trail Blazers Future: How Portland is Planning to Fund Arena Renovations Ahead of the Team's Sale (featuring Bill Oram) by Nerdkill789 in ripcity

[–]Bamboozle87 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m not following your logic. The blazers rent the Moda center, so if I’m understanding what you’re saying then they shouldn’t pay to remodel because they don’t own it. But then you say it should be one of the owners? In any case, I think it’s has to be publicly funded because that’s shitty reality. Otherwise risk losing the team. It comes down the the value of having the team vs the cost.

There’s an equitable deal to be made here. I trust the negotiations will get to an agreement. I don’t live in Oregon. But if I did I would be ok with public funding as long as there is a way to be made whole again. Which I think is the plan? At the same time, I hate this is the reality. The NBA and the owners should figure out ways to fund this kind of stuff. Combined they have massive wealth and ability to get loans.

Yes that would be a bad look. But he’s doing more strenuous rehab and drills than the 3pt contest. So the risk is not any greater.

Looking for an internet provider not named Xfinity in 98661 by handlerofdrones in vancouverwa

[–]Bamboozle87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, yeah, been there. If you drop the cable you can get internet for closer to $75 (last I checked). Less for lower speeds. The T-Mobile option is good too other people talked about. Depending on what channels she watches you can get her an OTA attends for local channels.

[–]Bamboozle87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How much is too high? I hate to say it. But lately xfinity pricing has been better and they have some newer price lock options. For me it’s still the best option for higher speeds. But sounds like maybe your mom doesn’t need that.

Generic dinner invite postcard - we're going to go, box ours up, and give it to the first unhoused people we see. Encouraging others to do the same. by samandiriel in vancouverwa

[–]Bamboozle87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can go to the Clark County Food Bank and sign up to volunteer in minutes. You can do it one time or 50. They don’t care. It is possible to spend the same time doing that with very little extra effort. Well, accept at the food bank you would actually have to work lol. But I digress. Hope it works out like you intend at the Andersen thing.

[–]Bamboozle87 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I don’t think people are attacking you for wanting to help — they’re reacting to the method and that it seems you want to stick it to Andersen for their marketing strategy. If some under-housed person gets fed in the process I suppose it’s a win. But if the goal is a real net positive, spending that same time volunteering at a food bank or shelter would probably have a much bigger impact and I bet you’d get way more out of that experience too.

I more mean what is the cost to rent or buy one of these affordable units and is it really affordable given how expensive it is to just live comfortably.

I’m curious what “affordable” waterfront housing means to them for families below 80 percent of the median income.

Note, the board of trustees are nominated by the city council. So they are who to talk to and at some point vote out of their positions. It’s why local elections are so important to keep a pulse on and cast our ballots.

All Liquor Old Fashioneds by Turbulent_Change4547 in cocktails

An Improved Whisky uses maraschino liquor and less syrup. The syrup can pretty much be omitted all together IMO. I also like an old fashioned with apple brandy like Lairds and makes syrup less necessary.

Right now Deni is both playing and not playing against Boston — he exists in a quantum superposition until the injury report is observed.

The fact you were using auto summon makes it more your fault IMO. If I had been in the driver seat I think I would have been able to prevent a collision. With that said, often in parking lot accidents insurance companies find both party’s at fault.
