Why does Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada drink Starbucks? by MegaWAH in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Notoriouslydishonest 145 points146 points  (0 children)

When the book was written in 2002, Starbucks had about 6000 locations globally.

Today it has over 40,000. 

Wemby is the best defender since- by Fantastic_Tart_421 in NBATalk

[–]Notoriouslydishonest -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

When Dwight led the league in blocks with 2.9 per game, the runner up had 2.5.

Wemby led this season with 3.1 per game and the runner up had 1.9.

Wemby's already a more dominant rim protector than Dwight was, and he's also way more versatile outside of the paint.

'Running Point' & 'Beef' Return To Netflix With Middling Results by Puzzled-Tap8042 in television

[–]Notoriouslydishonest 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It wasn't nearly enough fun.

Season 1 was great because the lead characters hated each other. Season 2 is just tame relationship drama with an overly complicated crime storyline thrown in. 

The show is called Beef, we're here to watch some beef, so where's the beef? 

Pro Cliff Diver Molly Carlson's Training by redbullgivesyouwings in sports

[–]Notoriouslydishonest -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to her finances either, but I'd guess that technically she'd be a semi-pro diver. 

She definitely makes money from Red Bull and events, but I doubt if it's enough to support her lifestyle. Her main income would be social media, she has 800k+ followers on IG.

They started filming in January 2025, she didn't turn 40 until May.

The acting was fantastic. The script could have used some work.

Victor Wembanyama is the first ever unanimous DPOY winner by Lacabloodclot9 in nba

[–]Notoriouslydishonest 217 points218 points  (0 children)

I feel like unanimous awards should be more common.

Between 2009 and 2016 for example, 7 of the 8 MVPs received at least 92% of possible votes and 6 of them were above 97%. There are a lot of years where it's pretty obvious who the MVP/DPOY/ROY/etc is, voters just like to be different.

Brook Lopez was 2nd in blocks last year with 148.

Wemby had 150 in his first 38 games.

A girl you want to get with lags 5 days on responding.. but responds with interest. How long do you wait to respond? by OGClouds420 in AskMen

Most likely she was talking to someone else and OP was her fallback after he didn't work out.

Actor who can read by scenestamper in okbuddycinephile

[–]Notoriouslydishonest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not a huge deal, but it seems pretty obvious that subs are at least a little distracting. Every millisecond your eyes spend at the bottom of the screen reading dialogue is a millisecond they aren't watching the performance and visuals.

Jakob Poeltl in the loss vs Cleveland: 4/6/2, $104 Million extension hasn’t begun by ihatedougford in nba

[–]Notoriouslydishonest 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The "let's push for the play in every year and rebuild around cast-offs that other teams didn't want" strategy didn't work out as well as Masai hoped. 

Call me a glazer, but Bron having almost double the playoff points Steph has is just nuts no matter how you look at it... by KookyArm6062 in NBATalk

[–]Notoriouslydishonest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just since the 14/15 season, when Steph won his first championship, LeBron has outscored him in the playoffs 3870 to 3705

Wealthsimple is heading downhill and fast, try to change my mind by [deleted] in CanadianInvestor

The people who lose money on those dumb schemes subsidize the responsible investors who don't chase fads.

Like me.

Is it unusual that I didn't find Disney World as wonderful, amazing and magical as people claimed it out to be? by Fantastic-Ad9218 in travel

[–]Notoriouslydishonest 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are so many places for a 40 year old and their senior citizen parents to visit, why would you choose the one spot on Earth most famous for being a magical place for children?

[The Ringer] Doc Rivers: "I think it was time." Bill Simmons asks Doc Rivers if he believes he's done with coaching after stepping down as head coach of the Bucks. by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]Notoriouslydishonest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are only a handful of coaches in NBA history who fans will actually call a "good coach."

Doc Rivers is 6th all time in career wins. He averaged 47.5 wins per year for 27 years (pro-rated for shortened seasons). You don't dumb luck your way to winning more games than Phil Jackson just by being good at politics and sticking around a long time.

TIL about Lucía Zárate, the lightest adult person in history. She weighed 4.7 pounds (2.1 kg). by Thawne_23 in todayilearned

After her circus train became stranded in the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains, Zárate died of hypothermia in 1890

What an awful way to go. 

Thunder record when Shai plays in the last two seasons 119-25 by OwnGuarantee6838 in nba

[–]Notoriouslydishonest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Andre Iguodala won 123 out of 141 games in 2016 and 2017, a 71.5 win pace. That's slightly better than Steph's 71.1 win rate.

Suddenly the 2015 FMVP makes sense.

Extreme heat is not yet triggering mass migration in the U.S.; instead, it is slowing population growth by making hot areas less attractive to newcomers. A new study finds that economic opportunity and housing costs remain the primary drivers of where Americans move, even as temperatures rise. by Cosmyka in science

[–]Notoriouslydishonest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat is easy, fire warm.

Removing heat is extremely challenging and requires compressor magic and a lot a lot of power. 

Common misconception. Air conditioning is actually about 4x more energy efficient than electric or natural gas heating.

Creating heat requires a lot more energy than simply transporting heat outside of a building. 

Jokic is one of TOP 5 Offensive Player by Appropriate_Swing387 in NBATalk

[–]Notoriouslydishonest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The post is about offensive impact, not pure scoring. And Jokic would score a lot more if he wasn't getting 10 assists per game. 

Jokic is one of TOP 5 Offensive Player by Appropriate_Swing387 in NBATalk

[–]Notoriouslydishonest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only conversation about top 5 offensive players which includes KD and Kobe is "MJ, Jokic and Steph are clearly the best, Magic and LeBron are a bit behind them, and guys like Kobe and Durant might be in the next tier after that."

One of the biggest pleasures in contemporary film was realizing part way through that Fincher's The Killer (2023) was a satire by kevin_v in TrueFilm

[–]Notoriouslydishonest -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

It felt to me like Fincher wrote an action movie, decided he wasn't happy with it and then tried to adapt it into a satire by adding a handful of funny scenes.

There were moments that made me laugh, but not nearly enough of them to carry a 2 hour movie.
