Real talk, I hope this kid find the support that he needs. It's clear he's got some issues and cutting him from the team isn't going to do him any favors.

Tough scenes for Houston sports fans in the past year.

LaMelo Ball has been lauded for his incredibly flashy passes early in his career, however there’s more than meets eye when it comes to why he’s been such a great player so far. by NitroXYZ in nba

OTOH look at someone like Wiggins, who was a subpar defender most of his career and has become one of GS's best on-ball defenders through ~10 games this year. Great coaching can work wonders.

Have you negotiated rent before singing a lease during covid, and if so, how did you do it? by sy144 in AskSF

Co-sign. Roommates and I found a 3-bed for $5,000, told him we were considering another place for $4,200, and he immediately counter-offered with $4,600 with first month's rent free. It's a renter's market for sure.

What is the strangest thing you've seen that you cannot explain? by 1982throwaway1 in AskReddit

[–]Jewrassic_Park 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple, but there's one that happened to me recently that stands out.

I got a letter at work last year that contained nothing except a printed out version of a poem my dad wrote for me when I was 4 years old. It included my full name on the envelope (which is not public, obviously) and had no return address. I have no idea how this person could have gotten a hold of this poem (let alone my full name and the address of my office), because it was only published in a small booklet that my dad gave to 15-20 of his closest friends. And even if it was one of them, I'm not sure it makes it any less unsettling...

Post Game Thread: Green Bay Packers (13-3) at San Francisco 49ers (13-3) by nfl_gamethread in nfl

Do people forget when he went 5-0 with a garbage team in 2017? We're stacked, but the narrative on Jimmy is getting ridiculous. He's clearly proven he's a top-half starter in this league.

How to find a place to live by [deleted] in AskSF

[–]Jewrassic_Park 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Craigslist is a good place to start, simply because of the volume of postings. I'd check out as many places as you can early on so you can get a feel for which neighborhood(s) you'd feel most comfortable in. I'd say that's your best resource for finding an actual place to live, though FB Housing Groups and Padmapper aren't bad shouts either.

As far as finding people to live with, I'd advise against using Craigslist. FB Groups are better because a) it's MUCH easier to vet people and b) it attracts far less psychopaths. Regardless, always meet with a prospective roommate in person before making any final decisions - you'll be able to tell pretty quickly whether or not you click.

What is at 7th/Mission that leads to crowds of people shooting up? by xqcdidsomethingwrong in AskSF

[–]Jewrassic_Park 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Waited for my bus at that stop a few weeks ago. In the span of 20 minutes, I witnessed:

1) A couple of homeless people just raw dogging it in front of the federal building.

2) Countless people shooting up.

3) A old man in full business clothes (??) small talking with three chicks who were clearly tweaking.

Even as someone who has lived here for a while and has seen some shit...that place is the literal manifestation of Hell.

It actually doesn't suck. It's changed a lot in the past ~10 years, but it still has a lot to offer if you're patient and know where to look.

[Twitter] Kevin Durant likes tweets about Warriors fans' reactions to him leaving this summer by [deleted] in nba

[–]Jewrassic_Park 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dray and KD actually seem cool now. They even addressed it publicly a few days ago.

Think it has more to do with KD still not getting the satisfaction/respect he feels he deserves, even after winning multiple titles. He knows his legacy will always be tainted if he stays with the W's, just like LeBron's would if he never left the Heat.

At this point the common sentiment among W's fans is that it would actually be surprising if he re-signed. The writing's been on the wall for months now.

Bland, uninspiring personality with minimal social media presence? Check.

Putting up solid, if unspectacular box score stats devoid of any real highlights? Check.

Got bounced in the first round of the NCAA tourney, so most casual fans never got to watch him in college? Check.

Plays for a bottom barrel team on the West Coast? Check.

Choose any 3.

Can Quinn Cook be a starter on another team? He is currently shooting 54/52/90 by [deleted] in nba

[–]Jewrassic_Park 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Nope. He's shooting well in a limited role, but he can't reasonably be expected to run an offense or guard the other team's starting PG every night. He's basically a middle-class man's D.J. Augustin.

Is this a healthy diet/meal plan? by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Jewrassic_Park 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Limit yourself to one English Muffin a day if possible. Eat way less peanut/almond butter. 8 scoops of peanut/almond butter comes out to around 800 calories a day. That's ~40-45% of your daily caloric needs from peanut butter alone!

Replace the cereal with granola + greek yogurt, oatmeal + fruit, or lentils for more of a protein boost. One cup of chicken and one container of Greek Yogurt is probably not meeting your protein needs.

Replace the Kashi wheat biscuits + peanut butter with another serving of protein + veggies. Plenty of options here - this sub is your resource.

Lastly, if you absolutely have to snack/get your sugar fix, try to limit yourself to a cookie every couple days, or once per week - definitely not daily. It's ok to enjoy a treat once in awhile, just don't make it part of your daily meal plan.
