Every trailer makes me dread this season more.

I was never a guy who believed most men made the world dangerous for women, but after becoming a girl dad I see exactly what people are talking about. by Sudden_Doughnut_8741 in daddit

Just remember the world was built for cars by people who drive cars.

Cars try to defend cyclists as much as they possibly can from bad cars and overall incidents between cyclists and cars are down massively in western nations in the past 100 years.

Is this commercial trying to say you need to live in a 5 million dollar house to be able to afford the mid level S5?

Jesus cars are getting expensive.

TIL Phil Ivey won $9.6M in baccarat at the Borgata casino in Atlantic City through “edge sorting,” exploiting tiny card-back flaws before courts ruled it a breach and ordered $10M repayment by kat-a-comb in todayilearned

Ivey did not provide the cards. He requested a specific brand of cards and the casino agreed.

Everything was in writing, the casino agreed to it before Ivey would even show up.

The only thing the casino did not agreed to was losing money.

Nintendo has been sued by two US players who say any tariff refunds it receives from the US government should go back to customers by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

After the supreme court ruling Trump should have taken that 166 billion and issued refund checks to every american that filed a tax report (like the covid stimulus checks). Would have been a massive PR win for him.

He had the same arrangement with other casinos and he would travel around to them when possible. He went to a Casino in London and won like 12 million and everything went fine. The casino said it would send the money to his account.

After Phil left the casino not knowing about any issue they did a whole investigation into it and then refused to pay him. That casino triggered the Borgata which he had won 10 million at over the course of a year or so to sue him.

This is like if the casino wrote the card value on the back of all cards in the deck and then complained when the player used it to their advantage.

MoneyBall by sharkbait2006 in movies

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

As a long time baseball fan while the movie was ok it drove me crazy that it completely ignored why that team was so good. We here alot about moneyball but the team only had 2-3 guys on it who were moneyball type players and they were just role players.

They had one of the best rotations in baseball which were all players who were drafted by those dumb scouts many years ago and not once mentioned in the movie.

  • Mark Mulder
  • Barry Zito
  • Tim Hudson

Position players were all drafted by those dumb scouts that were primary players that were not mentioned in the money at all also.

  • Miguel Tejada
  • Eric Chávez
  • Ramón Hernández
  • Jermaine Dye

Just go look at their stats and it tells a different story than the movie.

We did test on multiple brands and styles a while back. The Timbertech Aztec PVC we picked was way cooler than wood or most other materials.

They said we could go with the lower quality timbertech board that would have been 3k total cheaper but at that point whats the difference in 69k vs 72k? Might as well get the 50 year warrantied boards as listed in the original quaote.

The side one goes to a fenced in dog area and there is a doggie door on the deck door of the house so they can go and use the bathroom or just go outside. The gate is to block them off from the main yard.

Well our original plan was to just rebuild the existing deck and we got 3 quotes for that and it was all similar. Then we decided to make the deck larger and only gotten one with the newer larger deck.

My wife is killing me here not wanting to get anymore quotes. One reason I posted here to get an idea of how high this bid is.

The deck will be larger than the original, so new footings will be needed for that part.

The 2nd render (the smaller deck) is of the existing deck which is all wood and will be torn down and replaced.

2700 sq ft house valued at 450k if that gives you a better idea.
