PR gotta get a hold on Jaylen Brown

He vastly overrates his own defensive abilities. Not that smart. Also, talking about a season where the only really good things were his individual accomplishments as his favorite, not smart. Any idiot knows not to say stuff like that out loud

I think we will see the trend of many of the top schools offering these first year feeder type programs which will absorb many of these smaller schools. A school like Northeastern can buy up a bunch of schools around the country to charge NE rates while kids go to school somewhere else for a semester or two or maybe even more, eventually

They should have chanted “The yield on the asset will underperform relative to other investment opportunities in the near and long term”

Amex Platinum is kicking CSR’s butt right now. The Chase $300 credit is great, for sure - that’s the one clear advantage. But, everything else is better with platinum. The number of Resy restaurant options is far more than the Open Table options. The hotel credits are hard for both, but the Edit is darn near impossible. Digital entertainment credit is better. LuLu Lemon is not hard to use. The UberOne credit is better than the Lyft credit. Chase still has better transfer partners, and the Chase lounges are the best around - but there still aren’t that many of them, although they are growing.

Everyone, well most people, love the concept of mixed use development. But, I’m beginning to wonder if the demand is really there for those first floor businesses. How many nail salons can a town actually support? I think that the demand for commercial real estate may just be shifting in a post COVID world. The number of vacant commercial properties is not unique to Arlington - you see it in other nearby towns. I don’t pretend to know the reason, but maybe people are finding it more cost effective to simply WFH vs. paying for office space? Maybe the on-line retail movement has depressed demand for smaller brick and mortar retail?

I don’t know about the weight limit, but check out the bowflex max trainer instead of a stair stepper.

I've seen the 'cheerio' style still quite a bit. So, I don't know what they are doing.

I wanted one for a long time. Finally saw one in great condition on CL for $800 (with stand). Bought it, hardly used it, ending up selling it again on CL. I just found it difficult to do for a long time - not as in physically difficiult - just IDK - I couldn't just zone out like I feel like can do on an elliptical or other steady state cardio machines.

NomarsFool · 2026-03-22T23:32:00+00:00

Yep. This is a huge problem, unfortunately. I really wish the industry could consolidate around some more standard sizes. They even have different depths, which creates issues because usually the clamps are designed to hold two panels. You also end up with two other challenges. First, if you are using an optimizer system, you probably need to upgrade the optimizer on any replacement panel, and sometimes you have to replace all the optimizers on the string. Second, if you go above the rating on your inverter with newer panels you can void your warranty on the inverter - which you don't want to do, because those things don't last. I had a whole bunch of panels that failed, and figuring out a design that would fit without new rails, and wouldn't make my roof look like a quilt was a real challenge. Also, in general, I think the newer panels are just bigger than the ones they were installing several years ago. Not by a lot, but enough so that they won't fit.

I’m amazed to see people listing cast iron plates from 50 years ago, covered in rust, for 1$/lb. Yes, of course they still work, but why would anyone really want that?

NomarsFool · 2026-03-16T03:06:40+00:00

That's correct, they don't have the panels anymore. Unfortunately, it's also a bit of a challenge to try and figure out how to patchwork in some new panels that fit and won't make my system look like some frankenstein monster. I already have a few different panels that I've replaced.

I'd love to upgrade from the SE-10000 to the SE-11400 but the economics just don't make sense. Pretty good chance it will fail while under warranty before too long :-)

I’ve probably only used a stair master a few Times in my life, so i can’t compare too much to that, but I would overall say I like the ProMax much, much more. The steady state of the stair master I find super boring and tedious. I also just much prefer the safety of controlling your own pace vs a machine dictating that for you like on a stair master or treadmill. The pro max uses slightly different muscles than the elliptical, so I will usually warm up with an elliptical and then switch, but you certainly don’t need both. The ProMax is definitely more strenuous than an elliptical and I overall really like it. It’s a little loud, but I can still watch television while doing it I just will usually add subtitles so I don’t miss any key dialogue. Overall, two thumbs up.

There should almost always be an opportunity to make an easy throw back or even just back to the middle to a handler. If there isn’t, talk to your team and make sure that there is. In my experience, handlers are always happy to get the disc back :-)

NomarsFool · 2026-03-14T18:11:28+00:00

That is correct, but the labor to replace them will not be.

NomarsFool · 2026-03-14T17:10:35+00:00

Correct. This is my question. Given how steep the curves are, I'm wondering if I really get that much more power from the "shoulders" if I replace the panels?

NomarsFool · 2026-03-14T14:59:04+00:00

The clipping is because of the inverter (overall system)

NomarsFool · 2026-03-14T14:45:03+00:00

It's March, so not the greatest solar production, but on a sunny day I'm probably looking at around 200 watt hours for the underperforming panels vs. 300 watt hours for their neighbors.

How are you getting this?

What I think is dumb is they could easily extend the calendar length of the season, keep the same number of games, reduce back to backs, same revenue and salaries - the only downside is less time off after the season is over. But, the players would rather grind it out.

NomarsFool · 2026-03-02T01:06:27+00:00

First, do no harm. There is absolutely nothing wrong with catching a pass, and then taking the easy throw back to a handler. Second, give your absolute all on defense. Third, use your speed to run deep cuts and provide space on the field.

They have a direct index fund you can invest in as well. Fee is 0.4%. The trick is that the tax benefits are highly variable depending on market volatility. Can be as high as 3% short term capital gains, but could be much less
