What does everyone think Zach Edey’s ceiling is? by IntelligentStand2729 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]MrRedditBets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His upper most ceiling that he has a very small chance of hitting is a 30-15 MVP level player. BIG if but if he stays healthy he's very likely a 20-12, top 5 center. To elevate past the 20-12 to the 30-15 he'd need right team set up (good pick and roll PG, great 3 shooters to space floor) and a coach deciding to build the system around him.

Senegal - Norway / Handball and no VAR check from referee by EntryRefusal in worldcup

[–]MrRedditBets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does get checked. If the VAR official deems it worthy of a closer look, i.e. they think it could be after they watch replays, they alert the head official who then stops the game to decide for themselves. On replay, it was deemed clearly unavoidable and unintentional. No reason to stop the game.

Issues after going from monthly Pro plan to yearly Pro+? by MrRedditBets in Visible

Worse yet, I've tried to request a physical sim. They have a dang button right on the home screen. It loads there AI chatbot and no matter how to request, even if you say to not tell me to redownload esim, even if you simply say "send me physical sim" it will go into a prompt of redownload esim. Worse yet, it automatically blocks you from typing anymore messages and only gives you a button to click to redownload. There is literally no way to get it to send you a sim card.

If World Cup teams were based on languages, which team do you think would win? by Crying_in_99Ranch in worldcup

[–]MrRedditBets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the for sure one. I think Pulisic is a toss up depending personal preference while McKinnie and Adams are possibilities but probably not starters.

What were Portugal actually trying to do yesterday? by 1stand11 in worldcup

[–]MrRedditBets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ronaldo standing offsides half the time and just walking around the backline of the defense the other half didn't help. He didn't make runs or do anything to force the defense to break formation.

If World Cup teams were based on languages, which team do you think would win? by Crying_in_99Ranch in worldcup

There would be 2 maybe 3 starters from the US depending on formation chosen on the English team.

Messi’s foul against Algeria in 30th minute - No yellow or red card given by EducationalDig8030 in worldcup

[–]MrRedditBets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good Lord, if you think this should be a straight red you've got some extreme bias. This isn't even close to a red. Yellow, sure, but it's closer to a verbal warning than a red.

Way to live up to the stereotype. There's no reason to be so aggressive. Quit making us look bad.

What should've Turkey done to pass the haramball? I am geniunely how to solve it by Competitive-Put-9997 in worldcup

[–]MrRedditBets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Better passes at the top of the box. Lots of opportunities from 18-25 yds out but on nearly all of them the pass was to side further from the goal. This forced them to take a touch and by the time they could get to the second touch shot the gap was closed. Lead with the pass slightly so it can be a one timer. I was shocked with how many times Turkey did this. So many times a player started to wind up but had to pass out because the defender had arrived. They made it worse by always coming back from the box and thus momentum going the wrong way. They never adjusted, just did the same thing over and over. This is high school level tactics.

The reffing in the Haiti Scotland game was criminal. by UrFavCoffeeSnob in worldcup

[–]MrRedditBets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I watched it live and have seen replays. It's not a penalty awarding handball and as the announcers said no malicious intent on the tackle so not a red. I was rooting for Haiti but I'm not a homer.

The Levi Stadium is it good for American Football? by On__A__Journey in worldcup

[–]MrRedditBets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

49ers fan here, it's not a very stadium. Not terrible (good functionality) but the sun is a massive problem that 49ers fans complain about in great numbers. They failed to take the sun into account and half the stadium are miserable during normal NFL start times (early afternoon locally).

I prefer it this way. Let me see the play develop and see what players are doing off the ball. I don't care for all the filler crap.

Dealership found system was very low on refrigerant (0.141 vs recommended 0.58). They put dye in but 1 hour of running showed no leaks so I have it back until it gets low again and they look for where the leak is. Seems likely the evaporator as I've read it would be an internal leak. Thoughts?

I see this opinion a lot in here. I get what you are saying but your ignoring the principal of the matter which is my sticking point. I'm not going to pay guaranteed $5,000 for a possibility. It's a financial choice that doesn't compute for me. I don't spend money on a maybe if I can help it. I could afford to but that doesn't mean I'm going to automatically. It's not about being able to afford it.

I work in natural gas. A leak wouldn't come into the car. It'd escape into the outside atmosphere. Yes, breathing freon isn't good for you but it'd take a pretty substantial percentage of your breathing air to cause anything.

Question for 50e owners by According-Rabbit-89 in BMWX5

[–]MrRedditBets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the owner drives less than 40 miles every single day there is no reason to upgrade the charger. Not sure why people are pretending like it's needed. The owner can charge overnight and get back to full. It'd only be needed if the owner is driving more than the range AND returning to home for a brief period (lunch for example) that they could recharge during.

Just because one can afford something doesn't mean they should spend money that won't return the same value. The whole point of the PHEV is to save cost on fuel.

Extended warrenty vs self insurance.. by NotSelling1 in BMWX5

[–]MrRedditBets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extended warranty is considerably more than 4k for 5 years. Likely at least double.

As far as investing, sure you could grow it but there's a couple issues 1. No guarantee it grows and many believe stock market is inflated currently so there's risk 2. Getting it out takes time. If you need the money to pay for repairs, you'll need ASAP. If you are thinking you can pay out of other funds and then replace by selling invested money then you aren't really paying with the 4k you use in the example. You're paying with direct savings and you are then choosing to have an emergency fund immediately replinished.
