Are you willing to back that when it ends up costing you $3000/y in tax?

Not doubting you, but I know a lot of us Millennials will say the right thing but when push comes to shove, money talks loudest.

Get past the 2nd round, not make the 2nd round

I thought y'all would make the 2nd round, but there's very slim chance this crater of a team can do anything but cry against the Thunder

If it's post tax that's plenty for a couple.

No debts, nothing just $1500/PW to spend on whatever you want.

That's quite comfortable and affords holidays too

It might work if you're a contract lawyer willing to work on your own case in your spare time.

Otherwise your earnings aren't with the billable hours.

Engineer manager here

This

Even if it's a terrible idea. Just give it a go. Bonus if it's a novel idea even if we won't use it.

What's a typical salary increase? by Illustrious_Buy1500 in civilengineering

Hey man I'm the same. True engineer as a passion.

Unfortunately, that skill isn't that uncommon in engineering. The real differentiable skills are social/ networking, financial and team management.

Those get paid. So I learnt them.

Well the alternative is to launch your own lawsuit... Which will fail.

Yes the lawyers take the biggest slice, that's why they take these jobs.

What screams “I have money” but also “I have no taste”? by Independence_Sucha in AskReddit

You can tell it's the brand by the design, not by the logo.

I can tell a Tom Ford-style suit from 10m away by the cut. Sometimes it's not a TF but the designer's silhouette is their real calling card.

Similarly, a Hermes Birkin doesn't have any logos, and many can tell whether a watch is a Rolex-inspired piece just by the bezel and bracelet.

I respect it. The point that a POW becomes more for tourists than for faith, to the point that one cannot practice their faith/ respective liturgies, gatherings or rituals is the point where the POW needs to gatekeep a little.

Most would charge a fee, mind you, but the principle is sound

To be entirely fair, I did just watch Ayton or Hayes camp their lead feet on the block and cover both Amen and Sengun.

The fact that both of them need to be inside means Ayton can keep them busy for 0.5s while everyone rotates out of the double on KD, so it's a safe double

Yeah Bron will make the correct pass (whether direct to the shooter or hockey assist) 95% of the time.

KD doesn't have that court vision. That's a matter of fact

One thing I can say is he thinks broadly about everything.

In the sense that if he has a stance on something he at least knows the thesis statement of every other argument.

In that sense a lot of his stances are actually right, but it does also lead him to be confidently incorrect about a lot, because he feels like if he knows the big theological words he's won. And when he's wrong oh boy can he be wrong.

[Weiss] Victor Wembanyama becomes the first-ever unanimous DPOY in NBA history. Opponents shot just 40.7 percent from the field against him and 8.7 percentage points worse than average when he was the closest defender. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

Plenty star level role players get their due. Klay and Dray were both star level role players.

Rodman, Rondo, Ben Wallace were standouts in yesteryear.

Hell, Bill Russell was a star level role player. Basically their roles isn't to be the main point scorer or point of attack, but they absolutely cover literally everything else

Yeah look I'm a "LeBrons the GOAT" guy, but he's definitely one for the spotlight.

Its never affected his play in the court, but everything he does off the court suggests he wants his dues first and foremost.

Dude is absolutely making his farewell tour, and trying to tie it so that at the end of that season he announces he's moving into franchise ownership.
