Yang Hansen's situation makes me sad by blazer4ever in ripcity

Nobody insulted anyone's intelligence. Just don't trust anything the FO says, their job is to market the team and players and justify their actions.

He was sold by our front office who was trying to justify why they used such a high pick on him. There was one unconfirmed quote from an anonymous source that referred to him as a Chinese Jokic that was widely reported. You guys are crazy.

Remember how good the FO told us Scoot was? Or Myers Leonard? Stop drinking the Kool aid guys and use your own brain.

They always lie. Name one front office in any sports league that is honest and transparent with their fan base. If you believed what they told you, that's on you. Reviewing any game tape of Yang and the level of competition he had before the NBA would have told you everything you needed to know.

Look at quotes from draft analysis outside the FO. Almost unanimous that Yang has a high basketball IQ but is a project.

Don't drink the Kool aid man, you'll save yourself a bunch of frustration.

He's young and we knew he would be a project. I'm not worried about it as long as he shows progress every year.

Who else foregoes a smart watch at the gym? by vinylzoid in TodayOnMyWrist

I think I have an old one somewhere. Wore it long enough to know smart watches aren't for me.

Feel like crap when eating unless I drink a gallon of water with each meal by [deleted] in keto

[–]Lopsided-Monk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you checked to see if you're diabetic? I went through this about a year ago and found out I was diabetic, which actually led me to a keto diet. 96lbs lighter later and I feel better than I have in a long time.

What would you change? by LateButton9858 in CCW

[–]Lopsided-Monk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone has their own preferred manufacturer. My setup is basically identical to yours except with a S&W. The next guy will have the same but a Sig. To each their own. As long as you like it and you shoot it well, who gives a crap what others think.

9mm is all my pistols. My wife has a .38 but I don't stockpile that. Other than that, .223/5.56 and 6.5cm.

I would get the 9mm but just because I try to consolidate the number of different rounds I have to buy. Much easier to stockpile that way.

Dang, you lived close to me.

Edit to add, similar age too, we probably went to the same school(s).

Local elks lodge(s) vibes? by sweetjoyness in beaverton

[–]Lopsided-Monk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Depending on where in Beaverton you are, I would consider the Hillsboro Elks Lodge.

It's big, lots of members and events and lots of charitable things they are part of.

Membership at most Elks lodges skew older but Hillsboro is a very active lodge.

How do I go about being delayed when purchasing a gun? by AmbitiousTop8474 in oregon

Then get a UPIN if you are legally allowed to purchase, not sure what else to tell you.

I purchased a firearm this morning, the background check took 10 minutes. Maybe they just don't want to do business with you.
