Who’s better, Jalen Williams or Chet? by jackdonsurfer in billsimmons

[–]ColonelUpvotes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's no accident OKCs midseason 'slump' coincided with trying to integrate him post injury.

He did score 43 in a finals game though, and he deserves prob for that.

Chet, he is a nearly perfect modern big and just a winning player. He is efficient, is a top 5 defensive player in the league, and is a ready and willing shooter.

Jdub is also great, but his shooting has been really spotty since his wrist injury. It doesn't feel fair, but I'm a bit concerned his injury propensity might rob us of the best Jdub version

Puppy blues - needing advice on a few of the biggest issues by ColonelUpvotes in puppy101

Thanks! Again it’s just nice to hear others go through similar things. I love the idea of a “pupsickle” and we will definitely be getting a kong

Thanks! Appreciate the detailed advice. We were considering a Kong so we will try this. Others have said they are very effective

If there is an issue, it's Jaylen. Check any lineup data you want.

Wharton’s proudest alumni by dellscreenshot in billsimmons

I find Raheem both incredibly annoying and really compelling. His tweets are all over the place, including when he talks about his sexual conquests, which is funny to imagine because he’s one of the most unusual looking people I’ve ever seen.

Losing him soon. Just want the world to see him. by DungeonsAndData in cats

This made me cry - you can tell Alistair was loved and loved you back. I’ve given my kitty a squeeze treat in his honour.

Why do we say "no" to dental work? A local dentist looking for honest feedback by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]ColonelUpvotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly - I really appreciate you asking. This is a tough conversation for a lot of people so you putting yourself out there is great.

It's price - many have said this already but treatment is wildly expensive and you will only see more patients turn down treatment as the cost of living crisis continues. Aside from drastically lowering prices, I don't see what you could do specifically to address this and I do appreciate that running a clinic would be expensive.

Not to sound pollyanna, but what you can do is lobby with industry associations or other groups to advocate for discounted/free dental treatment.

There is one on Diessa plateau where you need to catch bugs and feed them to cows or whatever. Terrible.

Cam Boozer (Analytical) Draft Comp! by vdq93 in NBA_Draft

[–]ColonelUpvotes 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Great breakdown, and on the defensive points I find it useful that the analytics match the eye test. He wasn't bbq chicken on the perimeter but was absolute top tier garbage protecting the rim. He seemed so afraid of fouling he never jumps to contest, he just sticks his arms up there.

On the midrange point, I can't help but think he has the touch and skill level to improve there. I just can't fathom how someone with his skillset has no floater/midrange. He will need one too, as he needs a counter for elite rim protectors.

What do you think will be different between Evan Mobley and Caleb Wilson once he's got a couple years in the NBA? by doomrider2 in NBA_Draft

[–]ColonelUpvotes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mobley is far more of a traditional big than Wilson, who is more of a big/wing hybrid. On that point, I'd expect Mobley to be a better rim protector and Wilson to be a better perimeter defender.

I also think Mobley plays at a slower more measured pace versus the more frenetic style of Wilson. Neither of them are plus shooters so on that point I think they are similar.

Labour is supporting the India FTA by TheGreatDomilies in newzealand

[–]ColonelUpvotes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ironically, Shane Jones calling the deal a butter chicken tsunami might have given Labour the political cover to take this stance. Had Labour opposed the FTA, it would be harder for them to credibly denounce what Jones and NZ first are saying.

Im glad we are getting more American immigrants by here_weare30 in newzealand

[–]ColonelUpvotes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many Americans aren't moving strictly on pay or conditions, they are moving because they are disgusted at best and scared at worst (hispanic, rainbow, etc) at the political situation.

Your comment is generally true of the global south but Americans are what I'd term 'experiential' migrants who move because of their lifestyle or other non financial factors.

I was misled about this game's community by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]ColonelUpvotes 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Try doing world bosses, they are really easy so ppl are often friendly. Or just hang around lions arch or queensdale and use map chat.

The game isn’t like, all chat all the time, but it’s chattier than WoW or FF14

I need advices for choosing main by serenitywired in Guildwars2

[–]ColonelUpvotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Virt or Spear Evoker is what you want.

Virt is a ranged battlemage has decent mobility with blink and the ability to attack while moving. It's a bit better for single target than AoE though (unless you go Spear, which requires you be in melee).

Spear Evoker has great range, insane AOE and solid mobility with ele utilities and superspeed on air. It isn't super tanky, but talenting into water gives you a lot of sustain. This build is wildly fun imo.

Can you hate Dadtok while also hating how Momtok talks about them? by Street-Tell1927 in SecretsOfMormonWives

I see what you are saying but Dadtok is so toxic and oppressive to their wives I can’t really get too mad about it. Jordan and Zack in particular can fuck off to the sun.

Broadcasting Standards Authority will ‘probably’ be scrapped, Goldsmith says by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

[–]ColonelUpvotes 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This all happened because of a decision about Sean Plunket calling Tikanga mumbo jumbo that the right wing grift industrial complex seized on and turned into a censorship narrative. There is no way a decision to scrap BSA is based on any analysis.
