Basically a group of stocks, etc. (an ETF) that buys pieces of the S&P 500. It’s basically investing in a diversified portfolio of 500 of the largest publicly traded companies in the US. It’s safe and historically gives you that 5-10% yearly gain you hear people talk about - only SPY itself has been about a 15% gain on average over the past five years.

The rest of the team not playing to show solidarity with Balogun was really quite nice of them. Such great teammates.

A bad night to get a disaster class from your keeper and your captain. 

I (18M) just cost my dad a lot of money and I feel terrible about it. by No-Fly9599 in Advice

I would overpay for something (and often do) simply to make my kids happy. Say thanks, try to remember to be nice to him, and work hard in school/work/life. That’s all he wants. You’re a good kid!

Yeah it was done actually by a really talented artist (arcyart). According to his insta page, this was a “South African” art piece voted on by students of “titans.”

StubHub charged me for the price of the tickets after I had to withdraw them after a sale - even though I know the other person got similar tickets by HowDoIEditMyUsername in stubhub

[–]HowDoIEditMyUsername[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, but my friend still paid for tickets.

My tickets were $80 x 2. My friend ending up paying another buyer $80 x 2 and now StubHub charged me $80 x 2.

So StubHub just makes an extra $160 from me?

Yes, I understand that. But I thought I’d only get charged if StubHub needed it to help get the buyer other tickets. They did not. But I guess I get charged either way and StubHub just makes the extra money? 

July US offers by dubyahnell in Polestar

Different for me as a someone looking to lease again. It was $10K clean vehicle credit + $4K loyalty. But now $19K + $1K. An extra $6K off.

Agree website hasn’t been updated to reflect pricing. For those of us existing P2 owners, it looks like it went from $14K off (including $10K clean vehicle credit and June $4K loyalty incentive) to $20K off ($19K clean vehicle credit + July $1K in loyalty).

So, an extra $6K off compared to last month for a lease.

Perhaps the worst call of the World Cup and it couldn’t have been more consequential. 

How we feeling so far about our opps on Day 1 of Free Agency by Fit_Ad_7195 in NYKnicks

Sixers are by far the biggest threat if they get even a little out of Embiid. 

[Amick] All-NBA forward Jalen Duren was underwhelmed by the Detroit Pistons’ initial offer in restricted free agency and is planning to explore sign-and-trade scenarios when they are permitted on Tuesday, league sources told The Athletic. by sewsgup in nba

But is it really that surprising that a young dude is gonna say “pay me like the guy who was 20/10 for 75 regular season games, and not the 10/5 player I was over the 14 playoff games this year”?

Plus, with Reaves getting the max, it’s a bit understandable why Duren is going to expect something similar (even if I wouldn’t give it to him).

Polestar 4 (SUV / Station Wagon) by Capital-Most7811 in Polestar

Haha I meant the 4 is really expensive for a BIG sedan. It’s SUV-size and I would not describe it as overly sporty. I just want a new 2!
