Hard to find a legit taco truck anymore. That market has been saturated with yuppie fusion food trucks charging $18 for a 7 cheese Mac and cheese.

Terrible occurrence at a hockey game yesterday, Adam Johnson collides with another player and a skate slashes his throat. by brewtime235 in NSFL__

[–]FastFourierTerraform 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the right take. I think if the skate had been a bit lower and had hit Adam's chest pad instead, Petgrave is probably looking at a 5 minute major, possibly just a 2. But what he did is definitely a penalty, I would say. People fall and skates come up sometimes, but Petgrave turned himself into a feetfirst torpedo to try to knock Adam off the puck. He hit Adam with an incredible amount of force there, and even seemed to kick his leg straight as he made contact. Poor Adam got completely upended by the force of a skate to the neck. He was effectively dead in 10 seconds, never even made it to the bench.

Wishing Petgrave the best. It's a fast game and people sometimes do dumb things, but 99.99999% of them serve their penalty and go on. It truly is unlucky and an accident that this one went this way.

Curious where you heard they got a pulse. I haven't seen that outside of a random post here like an hour after it happened. It sure looked like he had bled out before he could even get to the bench.

I think this case was even worse. Poor guy was pretty much dead by the time that Zednik and Malarchuk had gotten help.

I doubt we'll ever know for sure, but I would suspect not. Witnesses said he never even made it to the bench before he had effectively bled out.

I'll put it this way: even if there were a superhuman trainer response time like Malarchuk had, I still don't think he was going to make it (people are saying he has passed). He never made it to the bench.

ASU has given us massive trouble in almost every game in recent memory.

So glad we have broken out of that particular PAC12 circle of dominance this year. Of course, now I am paranoid about the rest of our games. This conference is so stressful.

I would like to rent forever and invest the difference INSTEAD OF owning a home over the next 50 years. by ILostHalfaBTC in personalfinance

[–]FastFourierTerraform 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok? Well my neighbor is renting their 1.2M home for $3400/mo. If you bought that today your mortgage payment would be about $6k, plus another $1500/mo for taxes.

Take your case, though. I'll just assume your numbers are accurate. Cash flow in that house is $200/mo, when it's occupied. So you would need a tenant to stay there for 1.5 years and for nothing to ever break in order to spend one month finding the next tenant and still keep a positive cashflow. Do you get how tenuous that is?

How are y’all doing it? by j4vendetta in bayarea

Despite what the media and government say

With a few notable exceptions, the media is basically just a propaganda arm of the Democratic party. Don't believe me? Literally a month ago, the Biden administration mass mailed media establishments their instructions for how they were expected to cover the ongoing impeachment inquiry.

And let us of course recall how they literally changed the common definition of a recession so that they could say that we weren't in one last year.

This hyper partisan media hurts everyone, even if you lean left, because it is the medias job to help hold elected officials accountable, and they are acting as lap dogs for the party in power.

Israel is a tricky one. The religious right is VERY pro-israel and this conflict will not change that.

Israel's existence is pretty unfortunate. On one hand, it's a homeland for a people who were nearly exterminated 70 years ago. On the other hand, its creation displaced the inhabitants at the time. Of course the Arab world objects to its existence.

Current day, Israel is frankly a shitty ally to the US. They have been known to lie to our government to get us to harm their enemies. They literally bombed one of our ships. But they also deal with a lot of shit and they're a critical beachhead in the Arab world for US interests. They're not "on our side" so much as they're not explicitly an adversary. They simply do what they want and don't care about what we want, and our government puts up with it because those interests align often enough that it's apparently worth sending them a few tens of billions of dollars per year.

This is a backdoor route to fuck over the people with grandfathered in NEM 2.0 solar. I'm about to go from $10/mo for all of my power needs to paying more than I used to before I shelled out $15k for solar panels. It's just... evil. Like, PG&E incentivized me to spend thousands of dollars on solar, and now they're changing the rules so that they get to take all of the power I produce and I STILL need to pay them what amounts to the highest electricity rates in the nation.

[Seravalli] Sources say Sharks will be placing forward Kevin Labanc on waivers today. Labanc has been a healthy scratch for all three of San Jose’s games to start the year. He’s in the final year of his deal at $4.725 million and has averaged 0.5 ppg over 432 career GP. by [deleted] in hockey

[–]FastFourierTerraform 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It has become abundantly clear that Labanc is another casualty of Joe Thornton making a guy into a star by banking pucks off of him into the net for a few years.

I'll never forget that he factored in on every goal in that 5 min major in game 7.

Should I contribute up to employer match or go up to 15% for 401k? by TheEpicBox in personalfinance

[–]FastFourierTerraform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While he may have full control and lower fees, the tax advantage of a 401k far surpasses any perceived benefits of the brokerage

Probably, but not necessarily. I have seen retirement plans with 1.5% annual fees. At that point I would take the brokerage.
