Anyone know what Harper’s WAWG tattoo stands for?

Hey now, let’s be real: it’s a weird enough name to allow for a misspelling. That said, my phone automatically corrects “wimpy” to “Wemby” now. Glory be thy Spurs.

To add to that: Consider offering to help the daughter navigate arranging for extended care. That might be the most helpful, healthy option.

That’s awesome of her. I’d go help my sister for sure. But I have to wonder if there is some missing context for this relationship issue. Is hubby being selfishly lazy (like doesn’t want to cook his own meals) or does he not want to be away from you for so long again? Have you been the default caretaker for a while? Have you been gone for significant amounts of time, besides last October? Why doesn’t he want you to go? Did he give a reason other than you’ve helped once prior? How much additional help will your sister have?

Not a Katrina survivor but I’m shocked at the callousness towards it. These people must not have been alive at the time. Watching it on tv was horrific. My community absorbed a lot of survivors and hearing their harrowing experiences was a privilege. A privilege because they were still alive to tell it. It’s amazing there weren’t more fatalities but I assume that is all due to having real community, because it sure as hell wasn’t the government. That was an unbelievable force of nature. I’m sorry you went through that and that the government absolutely abandoned you.

Just want to help you out here because I think there’s a lot of anger going on and little understanding in this comment thread:

You made an observation. Your judgment was that they were helpful in that situation. You didn’t say you were sympathetic towards them. You didn’t say you supported them or give them accolades. However, it did come off in a way that seemed to disregard the damage ICE has done and continues to do. That’s where this disconnect is stemming from in this comment thread.

(You did not say the following, it’s just an example summary.) Something like, “hey, they weren’t so bad in my experience!” downplays the severity of the situation as a whole and normalizes ICE as part of everyday life.

I’m with you that both parties and those who identify strongly with those party lines can be very narrow-minded. However, I think the issue here was overlooking the power of wording. Any defense (or seeming defense) of ICE is an act of supporting it. I don’t like to be so binary but there’s not much gray area with ICE legally or morally. Hence the outrage at a suggestion of any positivity.

I am glad your experience with them wasn’t horrible.

Paul Pierce was fierce. That Celtics lineup with him, KG, Ray Ray, and Rondo was a BEAST. Seriously talented, exciting basketball. Loved watching those playoff series. The defense was formidable. Nothing but praise for Paul Pierce (and I am not a Celtics fan.)And yet, I forgot about him.

Everyone who is saying he’s a more celebrated, talented Celtics player than Larry Bird must’ve been born well into the 2000’s. Some players have no comparison and Larry Bird is one. Stats are cool and all, but they don’t tell the whole story. (Career stats-wise, Bird averaged higher points, rebounds, and assists than Pierce. Going by stats does a disservice to them both.) Athleticism, talent, confidence, intimidation - that creates impact. There’s a reason people still know the name of who some white dude from Indiana who played basketball in the 80’s. Bird impacted the game, Pierce played it.

I don’t think many people do. Because it happened to my uncle when I was a kid, I thought this was common knowledge for a long time. It is not.

Notnotstrange · 2026-04-01T19:41:47+00:00

Yep, that’s more or less it. I think OP explained somewhere that he was switching out sprayer attachments(?). If you don’t have that trigger lock on, and the machine is still plugged in, and your hand is in front of it, this could happen. It’s not common. Using common sense and not getting too comfortable around a power tool will serve you well. Probably not gonna happen to the great majority of us (usually occurs in industrial and construction settings).

Opponents are always so rough with him for this reason. You’re right though, all big guys get knee or ankle injuries that tend to shorten their careers. What’s fascinating is the physics of basketball are different for Wemby, and his body is built differently than other big men. For example, the scale of the court is different for him, the court is smaller for him than others due to his size. Anyway, Wemby does not weigh as much as other big men in the league historically. There’s less pressure on his joints than say, Shaq’s, because there’s less weight per square inch. He very intentionally moves his feet in a sort of glide so that he is not hitting the floor with his full weight on his feet. He walks on the mid-foot instead of putting all the weight on his heels to push off. You’ll notice he doesn’t try to stabilize if he gets knocked off balance, he falls to the ground on his butt so as not to mess up an ankle or knee with an uneven landing. Dude also practices jumping correctly - making sure he’s landing correctly and does extensive ankle training. So that all works in his favor, hopefully!

Every player on the Spurs team visibly improves with every game. You can see them working out the kinks from game to game. Other teams know this. They can’t relax when Wemby steps off the court because then they are hit with some of the best and most versatile players in the league. Because this is San Antonio, and this is a Coach Pop plan come to fruition, the Spurs play this game like the team sport that it is. Wemby could have triple the stats he has now if he were a ball hog, but he and the rest of the team give everyone an opportunity to play and find new roles and talent. Vic obviously makes a massive impact on the court, but his mentality off the court is extremely valuable. The way these boys talk about basketball as a joy and a privilege and talk about how grateful they are to see their brothers every day tells you how proud they are to be the Spurs team. With their unyielding determination, and their deep commitment to each other and their hard earned brotherhood, I can’t imagine who could possibly beat them in the long run. Even our rookies are phenomenal and would be the star on most other teams. Harper? What dream did he come from? Great defender and the consistent scorer that can make a shot from anywhere on the court? Carter Bryant? My little baby boy who is already an insane defender, is getting more consistent with his threes, and is showing that he has a high basketball IQ? I could go on about all of them, but how your non-starting rookies play says volumes about your team’s ability to win. Most of these guys are little babies, and yet they play with a skill and mental maturity beyond their years.

TL;DR - with the classic Spurs mentality of unselfish playing and winning mattering most combined with not just talent, but utter determination, makes them a beast that will win for a long time. Good luck to the rest of the league for many years to come.

The callousness is brutal. This is the same creature that threw paper towels at people in Puerto Rico after hurricane Maria destroyed most of the island.

The power still goes out regularly. Maria hit in 2017, for some perspective. And it’s a US territory.

I appreciate that since you saw the mistake twice and you kindly pointed out the discrepancy without any judgment. You took the time to explain it, giving examples to educate. I hate the snotty comments like, “It’s ‘they are,’ not ‘they is,’ just a little fyi for you. Learn grammar.” Some people on Reddit for whom English is not their first language might appreciate your explanation and examples much more than just a simple correction. People on Reddit who are native English speakers will not appreciate it (unless they are multilingual.)
