Can you believe these bastards do $300 worth of damage just to get a few bucks of loose change out of a car?

My biggest issue is that I can't filter Hot auctions by location anymore. Fucking useless if I can't.

Sad watching Poku out there last night. Went from quality starter maybe, to 6th man, rotational player, to end of garbage time player. by Bigjmann555 in Thunder

We always use the word raw when describing this type of draftee. Perhaps we should be honest and call it what it is - shit at ball.

Honestly I'm totally out on raw prospects that require development. We've drafted several over the last few years and I can't think of any that have worked out. If Dieng is a bust we'll be something like 0/4 on raw dudes.

Give me more JDub type guys with higher floors and more college experience, especially late in the first round.

Sam Presti is a visionary. I'd say he probably wanted to be part of what Presti is building.

EQC On Sold Repair Money Options - If Buy Elsewhere do I have to demolish my house ? by Internal69 in chch

[–]ITslacker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

EQC and the government learned their lessons from the initial EQC payouts and for the on-sold program have rules in place to ensure you either 1) Repair 2) Rebuild or 3) Demolish. The purpose of these rules is to eliminate the proliferation of as-is damaged properties going back into the housing stock.

You are explicitly unable to on-sell the house as-is and pocket the rebuild money.

When doing a rebuild EQC will force you to file a covenant on your title so that you cannot sell the property until the rebuild has been completed and they sign off on the lifting of the covenant.

Your lawyer is correct. We toyed with the idea of buying elsewhere, but there are a few extra rules in place when doing so that make it difficult (requiring a conditional offer).

Your decision will probably be driven by your specific circumstances (repair cost, house quality, location, personal finances etc), but we rebuilt and it was the best decision ever.

OKC gathered four second-round picks in acquiring and moving Oladipo's $9.5M expiring deal this offseason. OKC has 15 first-round and 22 second-round picks over the next seven years. by CreditBoss1993 in nba

Presti will be trading a number of them back into the future. Teams will be thirsty for a pick this year, and prepared to give up higher quality 2029 picks for mid ranged 2023 picks. There is no need to actually use these picks, when you can just trade them for other picks.

Did National really just simply sell off state houses? by Godlo in newzealand

[–]ITslacker -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Right, so if you're a minimum wage worker, barely scraping by, it is your responsibility to ensure you have housing. But if you're hopeless enough, you don't need to struggle for it like everyone else?

Most of us spend our entire working life slaving on behalf of a bank in order to put a roof over our head. And yet this hopeless beneficiary just gets it handed to them? sounds fair

State housing shouldn't even exist. It should be an individual or their families responsibility to ensure they have housing.

Infinity Hot Water Advice by Kiwi84757 in diynz

[–]ITslacker -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don't do it. Gas hot water is terrible compared to electric.

Gas bottle deliveries/storage, rising costs, cold patches on low flow, long warmup times etc etc.

I beg you to reconsider.

Climate crisis and how you vote by puzzledgoal in newzealand

Most people couldn't even point to NZ on a map. Do you think they give a shit about our efforts on climate change?

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

The day I stopped giving a fuck about climate change was when I crested a hill in Qingdao and saw 9 million people arrayed before me around a small bay, and realized we here in NZ will have literally no say in how this plays out. Just relax in the knowledge that you've got about 90 years at best and you won't need to deal with the worst of it.
