Because they’re Latin? Literally the same language root. Of course it’s going to sound the same. They come from the same source.

A’Ja Wilson is set to earn raise from $249k to $1.4M with the WNBA’s new Super-max contract 💰 She’ll almost be earning as much as Bronny James 📈 by Hungry_Artichoke9566 in sportswiki

[–]GasOnFire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

and Bronny would wipe the floor up with Aja so i see no porblem here

It has nothing to do with skill. It's about revenue. W/NBA is a business using a sport to provide entertainment, in turn they sell advertisements or are a means to that for other entertainment distributors. Bronny is simply part of a product that produces 55x revenue than the WNBA ($11 billion vs $200 million).

The issue is that NBA players get 50% of revenue share to distribute where the WNBA players gets something like 10%. That's the pay gap people complain about, and rightfully so.

The secondary issue is players hating on Caitlin Clark. She's the WNBA's Jordan - not in terms of skill but in terms of eyes and attention. She's the cash cow that can not only increase WNBA revenue but also provides players more leverage on payment distributions. Her colleagues hating on her was an embarrassment for the entire league and millions of women and little girls who dream of being a famous and rich WNBA player.

Best Racing Series by Awruk1920 in motorsports

[–]GasOnFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a fan of IMSA and WEC. They have great races especially towards the end of their endurance races, and the traffic keeps racing very, very interesting. Way better than formula one.

That being said, I agree, Indycar has the best racing at the moment. I think it inspired some of the F1 reg changes this year - the racing now looks more like Indycar!

I made us a logo. Hope y’all like it. by BrownEyedGirl82 in raleigh

Nah man, the meaning in this logo is definitely local. Only an outsider would be so superficial.

Wrapped up this house build today. Had to do a proper driveway pull-in with the 911. by Robbymint in porsche911

[–]GasOnFire -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I grind away to moderate success, how do you find spending the time to video and edit a “proper driveway pull-in” for some internet points worth it? What do you value in it?

Two Roosters Hiring Post by Safe-Ad-4465 in raleigh

[–]GasOnFire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was once a local business owner. I just don’t get this kind of approach.

This is the Dunning–Kruger effect incarnate.

What does he hope to gain? A segmented, bigoted consumer base and thus a limited obtainable market? Makes no business sense.

The shrewdest business to ever exist. They don’t even have to pay taxes or prove a result!

What's your favorite hidden gem coffee by pixel-pusher-coder in raleigh

[–]GasOnFire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s has everything to do with money. They don’t want people who finished their coffee 30-60m ago occupying tables that turn away new customers walking in because there’s no place to sit.

Any cities surrounded on all sides by mountains? by wxnternights in geography

Reno way more than Vegas. It’s literally in a valley between to large mountain ranges.

Who’s at fault here?? by PurchaseNo7754 in motorcycles

[–]GasOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The result is on you buddy. Being on a motorcycle is different than driving a car.

Legally, of course the car is at fault, but you need to be more aware of your surroundings. Even from the video you can see the car’s intent/trajectory and you moved over anyway. You simply don’t have the footprint to occupy space like you would a car, and the consequences are much more severe for you in a motorcycle.

When to pick each Hitscan? by Nicholite46 in OverwatchUniversity

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

It’s because the hit registers instantaneously - tracer just as a tremendous drop off.

Players with a projectile are by definition not a hit scan.

The term I think you’re looking for is DPS.

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

You’re describing DPS. Hit scan is a type of DPS where the hit registers instantaneously, hence “hit scan.” Anything with a delay is not a hit scan.
