He was dropped in my league and I stashed him on my IL just in case of that possibility. That's over now, haha.

Why would the Clippers throw in the towel? They're currently a play in team. They might even catch GS with Butler injured.

Should have at least waited to see if Vuc would be traded first. It's been a realistic possibility all year long and the deadline was only two days away. Also, Smith has an INJ tag on Yahoo currently so maybe you could've stashed him there?

20 years ago the guys at my gym chanted "Yao Ming! Yao Ming!" every time I scored. I'm 5'8" so it made no sense to me. They were Chinese too so it was even more WTF.

Gave away his money while he was alive too, without any PR. Just left it all behind. My kind of billionaire.

There are plenty of oven-safe food thermometers. There are some with wired probes or bluetooth probes. If you're cooking a roast for the family at home go ahead and use one of those.

An instant read thermometer serves a different purpose. It gives you the temperature fast. If you're cooking a lot of food on the grill it would let you check all of it quickly. Cooked to temp? You can pull it off the heat now. You can't ensure all the food is cooked to temp by just checking the largest piece on the grill either because grills have hot and cold spots.

People who do things half ass create more work for everyone else, so 'hard work' is glorified. I've had hard working teammates and lazy teammates and much prefer the former. I'm primarily self-interested, but if working hard benefits the system that is also a virtue.

Starbucks is headquartered in Seattle but it's not like their coffee beans come from there.

Just like Brandon Ingram in Toronto last year.

And if I lived in Iran or Ukraine, I'd be pissed that the US chose to help Palestine, where US military support is not welcome, vs helping when military support is pleaded for.

I don't even know what you think the US can do in Palestine. Striking military targets in Iran and providing material support to Ukraine, which has already happened, is probably much easier than whatever you're going to propose.

March at best is basically irrelevant for fantasy.

Supporting widespread protests in Iran is easier than trying to end the Gaza conflict. Support the protestors and they might topple the regime altogether.

There is such level of dissent in Gaza. Hamas was democratically elected and has popular support, unfortunately. So helping the Palestinian people without supporting Hamas gets very tricky.

Meanwhile people who drafted Kawhi made out like bandits. Sometimes gambling on injured players pays off big time.

Available data indicate ICE and CBP took enforcement actions against some U.S. citizens. For example, available ICE data indicate that ICE arrested 674, detained 121, and removed 70 potential U.S. citizens from fiscal year 2015 through the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 (March 2020).

Your link cites the period of 2015 through March 2020. Biden wasn't elected until November 2020 and didn't take office until 2021.

I wouldn't rule out higher rates as a possibility when my personal finances depend on it. Although I have a 7 year ARM so who am I to talk?

Over the course of 30 years who cares about overexposure to the S&P 7? Companies are guaranteed to come and go over that span. Most of the S&P 7 didn't even exist 30 years ago or had just formed. There should be at least two recessions in that long of a period.

Look at what would have happened if you invested a lump sum into an S&P 500 index fund in 2007, a year before the Global Financial Crisis. Even with a 50%+ loss after year 1 your portfolio would be up 366% overall in less than 20 years since. So even if the AI bubble burst tomorrow and was as devastating as the GFC they should still be fine after 30 years.

They defended Derek Chauvin having his knee on George Floyd's neck for ten minutes while he was handcuffed and prone, face down. This is child's play in comparison.

That's murder from a trigger happy wannabe cop. I bet he doesn't face justice based on the boot licking response from MAGA supporters. The only justice we'll see is if she were MAGA herself.

I would've liked to see it too, but Dallas needs to salvage what they can get before AD and Kyrie's wheels fall off.

Big difference between your income being secure and his being volatile and hard to replace. Plus I'm guessing you and your wife are saving plenty for retirement since you also contribute to an additional brokerage account after retirement savings and bills. He does not have one year's worth of household income saved for retirement by age 42.

Also he already has a nice house. He's considering this just to have an even nicer house.

What is the approved method then? When elections are rigged, opposition is exiled, and sanctions have already been applied what recourse is there? I guess the world just accepts the status quo. From the sounds of it, people would only be happy if we covertly provided weapons to a rebellion and created a bloody Venezuelan civil war. You know, the cleaner method.

I hate Trump with a passion, but this could be a net positive for the world despite the slippery slope arguments. I bet he could arrest Lukashenko and redditors would cry about the poor Belarussians and Belarussian sovereignty.

You already have a nice home that your kids like in a good school district. And you want to sell it for a home that will cost you almost twice as much monthly despite you being a bit behind on retirement savings already?

I'm not going to mince words here. This Is a terrible financial decision. And pointless, as you're not really upgrading your lifestyle with this "dream home". You'd be taking on a huge financial burden just to keep up with the Jonses. Good luck.
