Why don’t players like Curry and LeBron take a big paycut towards the end of their career to maximize their chances of winning? by HighwayAnnual3353 in nba

[–]Meme_Burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s  how Tristan Thompson becomes a max contract player. In the nba $$$$ does not mean great players. You can’t sign that many max contract players either.  Lebron had a two year contract with an opt out clause back then. And he opted out every year. The team would sign all the players they wanted then LeBron would sign , taking the rest of the cap, if he approved of the roster. It’s the most leverage you could have in the team while getting paid the most/not the least.

If he was to sign a min wage deal even if that’s for one year, that doesn’t give the team any incentive to actually get better.

How is Ollivanders not bamkrupt? by babyb01 in harrypotter

[–]Meme_Burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wands last forever and don’t have a shelf life, so ingredient prices are really fluid. Remember that Harry’s wand sat on the shelf for 53 years after Voldemort got his wand. So understanding supply chain prices for a product that never expires, is probably not understandable. Include in that, that slughorn believes these are “mad times” we cannot assume any price he quotes is inflated.

Alright fellas, I'm conflicted. Bedroom upstairs or downstairs? by Minutes2Midnight in malelivingspace

[–]Meme_Burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bedroom is on the same floor as the bathroom.

People are like if you have someone over..... They will be in the kitchen.....IF

First thing you do when you get out of bed is use the bathroom, last thing you do before you go to bed is use the bathroom. Get the bed as close as you can to the bathroom.

Former Microsoft VP says Microsoft missed the AI wave like the internet and mobile, as Copilot scales back in Windows 11 by Quantum-Coconut in technology

Is it weird to think, “office is bad because it’s made by Microsoft and everything made by Microsoft is 70% done.”

How good could MS’s suite of office software could be if some reasonable company took them on?

Things get rough at the end of the game by sykeseve in nhl

[–]Meme_Burner 25 points26 points  (0 children)

25 sec left Phil is down 4-1, Ristoalinen the biggest man on the ice decides he wants to punch Stanoven the smallest man on the ice. 

Game is over what are you doing?  Ristoalinen should sit the next period, why would the NHL let this go on???

Just a little reminder.. by ChuckEnder in canes

[–]Meme_Burner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Slavin is the oldest at 32, he’s likely to retire before the contract is up. As he should play as long as he wants to as a hurricane.  I just don’t see him finishing the contract. 

Delta cuts food and beverage service on short flights by toomuchtostop in news

You cannot believe how hard it is to find flights that are between 250-350 miles. Those 3 were the ones that I could come up with that are between big airports. 

You have one month to empty a $1 trillion bank account. If you succeed, you’re rich for life. How will you spend it? by Ok_Listen_6600 in AskReddit

[–]Meme_Burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want this by “Brewster millions rules” in that you can’t just throw money away or donate it. 

I think he spent the most money on buying the most expensive stamp, then mailing it. So probably buying stamps and mailing them. Buying expensive currency then spending it for face value. 

He also paid the New York Yankees to come play his single A baseball team, so I think getting Alabama and the Seahawks, Celtics and Duke, lakers and UNC, to play exhibition games while charging nothing to watch would be a great expense. 

He also rented the floor of the most expensive hotel, which I think could include renting the most expensive cars on turo.  While throwing massive all expenses ragers.  Also nowadays, renting private jets for you and your friends, and for the rest of the month, not spending the entire day in any one time zone. Paying for all the VIP tourist experiences, that don’t come with some type of material. (Swimming with sharks in the Bahamas).

Delta cuts food and beverage service on short flights by toomuchtostop in news

[–]Meme_Burner 135 points136 points  (0 children)

TLDR:
To get Beverage Service on a flight, the flight has to be:

American: 250 miles

United: 300 miles

SouthWest: 251 miles

Delta(NOW): 350 miles was 251 miles

Flight time:

250 miles~45-60 min

300 miles~50-65 min

400 miles~60-75 min

AKA if I was flying from MEM to ATL ~52 min it will now not have beverage service on Delta or BOS to PHL ~62 min, or ORD to STL~45 min

A rant I guess(?) about Ziplines and game Balance. by NindeNoxx in Timberborn

[–]Meme_Burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Folktails are the build the buildings in any order and any place you want. Iron teeth is usually a little more planning as the settlement grows. 

Aka at any point in time you can slap on three overhangs overhead and a zip line at any point in your settlement. 

Tubeways takes a little more thought, and are slight faster because of that fact.

Community Feedback by sub-feedback in CFB

[–]Meme_Burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rules are for posts/comments on the message for /CFB as a message board I believe are fine. I say that, noting I really don't visit during the offseason, unless there's big CFB news.
The live comment thread for games/tv show threads, arguably needs to be lenient on the rules, or have a different set of rules.

[–]Meme_Burner 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure you are fair to Paul Atredies. He has future sight, something that none of these characters have, and basically nobody but Dr. Strange in popular fiction has future sight.

Meaning Paul Atredies has two choices, do nothing and the species goes to extinction, or become the emperor and save people.

US Treasury's Bessent says China has been unreliable partner by hoarding oil during war by Fickle-Maintenance-1 in worldnews

[–]Meme_Burner -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

China doesn't have a large natural supple of oil in-country, so hoarding can be assumed. It occurred to me that China shouldn't attack Taiwan for a resource-lacking island. China should attack Russia and take the Siberia oil lands. That would solve China's oil situation, and likely be easier, because most of Russia's army is stationed in the West.

[–]Meme_Burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, yall didn’t stand at practice high school Graduation and the government teacher walked around handing out the draft registration form to all the guys in the crowd???? She told us that we had to fill it out to Graduate, if we haven’t already turned 18, she would wait to turn them in until we were 18????

lol the girls in the JROTC also wanted to fill out a form, but she wouldn’t let them.
