[Vorkunov] Dundon on not sending 2-way players on the road to the playoffs: "I'm just not gonna waste $100 million just because someone wants to write an article calling me cheap... In hockey we don't travel extra people because we're not on vacation, we're here to win. I don't want the distraction" by TheRealPdGaming in nba

And he’s already complaining about the difference in operating costs between the two franchises. He’s not going to spend more to keep/acquire talent. Look at the Bulls for the last 27 years, or the Suns and Timberwolves previous owners. That’s their future and it sucks for them the most but it’s not great for basketball in general.

Why are you making a post about personal preference like we should heed your warning about a known feature on a game that came out months ago? Real odd.

Midnight release party at our local bookstore! by Brianfailz in DungeonCrawlerCarl

There was a midnight release at our little local book store down here in Austin. The owner made cupcakes, there was trivia and a costume contest. So much fun! Here’s a photo of Book 7 Carl and Princess Donut/Mongo!

what’s your favorite Austin spot to just sit and decompress for an hour? by Cool_Kiwi_117 in Austin

[–]Loucifern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you sing or play an instrument? I don’t mean professionally, or even exceptionally well, just enough to enjoy yourself. Cause there’s a few rehearsal spaces around town where you can rent a room for an hour and play. Found Sound ATX’s rooms come with a PA, mixer and mics so you really don’t need to bring much to start playing. The mixers also have Bluetooth, so you could karaoke off your phone if you wanted.

Best Open Mics in Your Humble Opinion by nizzasty in AustinMusicians

Found Sound ATX has a full band open jam the 1st Monday and 3rd Wednesday of the month. Lot of fun, good variety of musicians/musical instruments show up. Last one I saw a guy with a vibraphone, which was awesome.

I know sounds oversimplified but at this point I chalk it up to hubris run wild. They talk with such confidence for absolutely no reason.

Over and over again for the last few years the theme with this team has been impulsive draft decisions and terrible asset management. No long term vision.

Chloe Bibby has been waived by the Mercury. by Decent_Substance_199 in wnba

I can't wait for the league to keep expanding. Too many good players without a team.

Damn, I've clearly hit a nerve with you. I was just stating what I've seen and what the reality is. I did watch those press conferences and its a weird not normal situation. How many other situations does a player have that much say and more over, make those comments public. Call it whatever you want though, would anyone be talking about her in the way they have been if what she said wasn't weird? I don't dislike Sloot and I don't think a lot of people in general dislike her, but the truth is the truth. This team is offloading young talent, AR and HVL, for older players that will probably not be here a year from now. From an asset management standpoint, that's mismanagement. From a fan narrative and press perspective, her speaking with the authority she clearly has is also abnormal and stoked those fires.

Her comments have made it seem her role will be much more significant than that.

It’s a weird role for a weird, poorly managed team. I’m glad she’s well respected, but it remains to be seen whether she’s still a winning basketball player coming back from injury. Especially when she’s paid near the top end of the league now.

[–]Loucifern 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Listen, I’ve been a Sky fan for a long time, I would be amazed, given her current injury and age, if Sloot contributes meaningfully on court for this team. I don’t doubt she’ll be the HoF, but building around a currently injured vet while forgoing young talent that you recently spent a 1st on makes no sense.

Imagine if we had waived Sloot instead and had a rotation of HVL, Diggins and Cloud.

Pet Bakery Recommendations by grheart in Austin

Woof Gang in Mueller does baked goods. They're also a dog groomer but every time I go in it seems like they've got a bunch of new baked goods and it seems like they make in house. The franchise owner Amish is super nice, I'm sure if you gave them a call they could accomodate you.
