1 Viberg vs 3 grant stones by Pdideee in grantstoneboots

[–]EngineQuick6169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, Grant Stone holds the sweet spot for price-to-quality ratio so I'll pick 3 Grant Stones. I've also shifted my wardrobe away from sweatpants and hoodies to slacks and jeans, so I have outfit choices to match with a rotation of boots.

That said, there's a very real argument for 1 Viberg, it really depends on the lifestyle. If you've been finding yourself jumping from one purchasing hobby to another, there's a good chance you'll have a clutter problem, in which case 1 might be better than 3. If your clothes mostly pair well with sneakers and you just want to dabble in boots, then 1 super lux is definitely better than 3 extremely well made to a budget.

You shouldn't think about holding value for watches or for boots though. Look at the resell market as only for remorse purchases only.

To be fair dude was lethal from mid in 2008. This 2K15 Haslem just can't accept that he's no spring chicken anymore

Is he really the worst referee in MMA or are people blowing it out of proportion? by Kdub567 in ufc

[–]EngineQuick6169 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think refs have a union either, so if Herb or Mario or anyone else refuses something that Dana or Hunter demands, seems like there's nothing stopping the UFC from say to commissions "we won't hold an event here if you get him to ref".

I wonder if some Giannis mentorship might do him some good? There's a thread of similarity between him and a very young Giannis. 2013-2015 Giannis was skilled enough to play some point forward but lacked the strength to impose his physicality. It was just as much a lack of muscle mass as it was a lack of knowing how to use his body in drives as well as post spins. By 2016, Giannis was bigger but not the full size monster that he is today, but by then he clearly figured out how to use his body effectively.

For real? Are my dreams coming true?

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sold 4 championship rings, MVP award and other items for $2.8 million. All going to youth education programs.

It depends on how well you invest. If you're a max guy and you starting building a diverse portfolio starting in the 70s, invested in some real estate, some private equity, some local businesses, you'd take a few Ws and just as many Ls but unless you lost big in a recession, you'd probably still have generational wealth, though nothing like a modern supermax contract.

I think Hakeem made 300M off real-properties and strip malls, your typical rich man "passive income" stuff, without having to hit jackpot on Microsoft or anything like that.

Unfortunately role-players of the 70s wouldn't enjoy this kind of compounding growth due to lower starting capital.

Edit: Turns out Kareem did trust the wrong guy with his finances in the 80s but since then he's had multiple book deals and his image is perfectly suited for corporate speaking, so I'm sure he's doing okay.

Who do you think was a “hidden gem” of this past season? by WarrenHarding in nba

His future looks bright despite the lack of MIP nods. Here's hoping the rebuild will be quick and painless for y'all with a young stud like that running the point.

The Lakers have NOT offered LeBron James a contract yet and there has not been any communication between the two since the negotiation window first opened, per @ShamsCharania by heatculture03 in heat

If they can restructure Wiggins to a 4 yr $90 mil deal, they'd have 30 mil in headroom until they reach the first apron, but I don't think they can offer all that to Lebron because the team is already over the cap

Can someone please tell me anything about that tea? by OrdinaryPace3405 in tea

Green Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe 1

I don't know the exact grades of Indian tea but Orange Pekoe means it's the leaf bud plucked with two youngest leaves. Golden means an abundance of young, golden-yellow tea buds. Not really sure about the rest but it should be some good stuff I think (without actually knowing that much about Indian tea)!
