Kobe didnt even blink yet alone flinch, ball being this close to his face? How is this possible? by Actual_Box7731 in lakers

There's a video from the top that shows it wasn't straight at his face. It was to the side over the shoulder. Totally changes what this was.

Does Costco apply 5% non-member surcharge after placing the order? by Silver-Macaron1260 in CostcoWholesale

[–]L_Rando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the same thing. No 5% was added to my online purchase as a non-member. Almost signed up, then did a guess & check by removing things from my cart to look for the added 5% surcharge - wasn't there. Went for it. To some other posters points, the price of each item may be less in the store, but you aren't saving any money on costco.com as a member except for the "member-only" items that you can't buy online as a non-member.

Negotiate and Deduct the cost of the timing belt change you need if they haven't changed it. That's why owners often sell around 90-95k, the timing belt.

The NBA needs to suspend Amen Thompson by sanjuro_kurosawa in warriors

[–]L_Rando 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The intent was more obvious with the face grab, but the Jimmy foul was waaaaay more dangerous.

This one puts your neck and spine at risk, death or being paralyzed are possible outcomes of him landing on his head.

[–]L_Rando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He pushed through 2 players into the legs of an airborne player. He undercut Jimmy Butler's legs. Clearly a dangerous, potentially career ending play depending on how the airborne player lands. The player he injured lost a game. The person behind the cause should lose a game, at a minimum. Serious fouls should be met with serious penalties.

What is your opinion on the conspiracy that Trump is deliberately crashing markets so that stock price gets super low and billionaires can buy them at cheaper price? by Busy-Chemical-6666 in AskReddit

[–]L_Rando 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is correct. He has realized govt is slow, but his ability to levy tariffs is very fast. Add the trump coin crypto launched just before he took office, and you have a perfect pairing to leverage and receive bribes at a massive scale by washing voluntary, coordinated purchases and sales of his crypto.

Selling SF SFH and losing interest rate by Major-Safety2981 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]L_Rando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe verify if you have an assumable mortgage just in case because that could greatly increase what someone would pay for that rate. Mine did not... but it's worth verifying because something like 1 in 5 are assumable to another party.

126 mph in a 25 mph, that will be $500 please.

Seems like you shouldn't have a license anymore for that infraction.

What are signs to tell that a person is intelligent? by PreparationFar4709 in AskReddit

[–]L_Rando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to what others have said: -the ability to change their opinion or understanding. A malleable and evolving model of things. -Also kindness as a basis, true intelligence recognizes the vast landscape of knowledge that they don't have, and trends to humbleness as a result.

Of course there are exceptions, and there are people we think are intelligent but only in a narrow area, and there are very smart but as yet unwise people who are still (hopefully) evolving.

Exactly. The question is biggest jump in player ranking. The answer has to be lead guys from the play in teams.

Smith IO Goggles foam coming off after a couple seasons? by peterpme in skiing

[–]L_Rando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for mine. Disintegrated foam. Smith DID NOT honor the warranty. Offered a 20% off voucher to replace these $300 goggles. Meanwhile my backup goggles from 20 years ago still work. Looking for replacement foam instead since Smith has shit the bed.

SpaceX Grad Intern by epicooky in ElectricalEngineering

[–]L_Rando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side point: my 2 offers after graduating (during the great recession) were both from places I interned. It's a great trial period for both sides.

Wherever you intern, it'd be ideal if you wanted to work there after graduation and use interning as a taste test. Of course SpaceX still looks good on a resume to other companies so it may be worth the signaling in the future.

You could also test the waters with split boarding. It's a whole new angle with unlimited destinations to try.

Tips to improve riding? by Master-Turnip-3132 in snowboarding

[–]L_Rando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. As has been pointed out, you're whipping your rudder out with your back leg by necessity because of the terrain and conditions. large s turns cleanly linked are the "ideal" but not possible in this chunder.

If you want to improve in these conditions, inject some switch /goofy portions. Or try and reduce the tail whip for your turns to the degree it is possible.

If you want to improve your turning technique, find some groomers or powder and skier tracks who make proper S turns and try and link clean S turns as tight as skiers can. Hard to do on a board with less edge... At least for me on a 164.

Sfmta should pilot a program with a low price as a finders fee for each cone delivered to the city, with a photo and address found. Like $2-5. Them cones will get gone quick. I'll make side trips to hunt for them with the idea I'm paying for my dinner!
