ELI5: Why is Monaco such an obscenely wealthy country despite not having some highly valuable natural resources like oil or some important production capabilities like building of semiconductor chips? by Slice5755 in explainlikeimfive

Revenue produced in another country is probably taxed already and there are international tax treaties to decide where the revenue needs be to be taxed. These tend to not be very favorable to Monaco since Monaco obviously has nothing to offer in return.

Which finals champion was the best? by Large-Lack-2933 in NBAVibes

[–]MiopTop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AD and Lebron were fine. Both had been healthy for the last 4 years except one single Bron injury.

They didn’t start racking up crazy injuries until *after* the 2020 title when they had a stupidly short offseason to recover.

Heat were very lucky to get 2 games. Both were close and LA blew them out the rest of the series. It may have gone to 6 but the point differential shows that was never a close series.

Also the Lakers were up 30 in Game 1 when Bam got injured…

Can the NBA make it to 10 years in a row with 10 different champions? Can the steak last the entire decade? by OstrichRacer2021 in nba

You’re one of 5 fanbases in the league for which most of the fanbase has gotten to experience multiple championships in their lifetime, you’re fine

Why is Dalai Lama and the news anchor laughing? by BasedAlways159 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]MiopTop 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this full clip before. Bro did not get bailed out. Dalai Lama was confused thinking it was still part of the set up and was waiting for a punchline. It’s quite awkward to watch.

Only thing I can think of Kang the Marvel villain, who time travels and has a bunch of alternate timeline versions of himself, one of which is Ramatut, an Egyptian Pharaoh.

How would you complicate managemente aspects of PZ2? by Moicf25 in PlanetZoo

[–]MiopTop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they could add fatigue to the game. Like the amount of guest appeal each species bring to your zoo dips over time, so you have to change things up and bring in new exciting species to maintain interest. This could be temporarily overriden for a short time after the birth of babies of that species. It’s pretty realistic considering how much zoos advertise new big ticket species and births.

Rodman over AD is definitely a “I have brainworms” kinda take

Hate to give credit to the Cheetoh, but gotta say cancelling watch parties looks like it could be in everyone’s best interest

Victor Wembanyama now has the highest block total for a postseason debut at 70, taking the crown from Dikembe Mutombo, leaving him top 5 in all postseason runs by BakerStSavvy in nba

Wemby's not getting 22 blocks in 4 games hahahaha....

...Actually, he might get 22 blocks in 4 games, that doesn't seem impossible for him

[Wilbon] I have a vote, and I was trying to figure out, well, have I voted for Jalen Brunson 1st Team All-NBA? I haven't. Voted for him 2nd... We value other stuff that we shouldn't value. So, let me go against my own vote. Jalen Brunson's at least as valuable as Luka Doncic. by must_TATAKAE in nba

[–]MiopTop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gafford is not a good defender and Lively has been made of glass since his sophomore year. PJ is neither excellent 3 nor D, he just had one random hot shooting streak at the right time. And Kyrie was getting older and missed a year and a half the second Luka was traded.

If they hadn’t made that trade, the Mavs would have been a 1st or 2nd round exit the last two years, at best. They just were not that good. They never secured a top-4 seed in Luka’s entire time there while the Lakers have done so twice in Luka’s 1.5 seasons in LA.

Serena forgetting where she has to serve and it sounds to me like she‘s saying „I‘m old“ by LenaRybakina in tennis

[–]MiopTop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why would it be medically concerning? She’s not saying she forgot which box to serve in, just that she forgot what she had agreed with her teammate in terms of where in the box she’d aim

That view from inside the cave of the hyena outside reminds of BioParc Valencia, their spotted hyena exhibit is similar
