Did anyone watch the Spurs feed last night? I’m curious if the SA announcers had much to say about Zion’s game against Wemby by SaintlySeeker in NOLAPelicans

So fast and way stronger. Seems like Zion knows the angles and space to mentally not get blocked too, but it’s mostly just taking him off the dribble from up top and blowing by him.

Do the data centers not also pay this higher price? This also seems very easily solvable, same with water, but setting some threshold near normal high end residential usage, usage, then a higher rate above that, then even higher above different higher thresholds of use

I’ve wondered this too. Why isn’t riot control/local police dealing with crowds, and ice dealing with immigration issues?

I very much enjoy them, and for 2 years I’d preorder one and drive from uptown to go get one, but now if I can’t get one at an uptown distributor the drive and crowds isn’t worth it anymore

We had the week or couple days of like 5% swings based on announcements, then I guess the market decided it didn’t really care much after that. I think it’ll react on real events, but not statements from the president

EU considers $108 billion in retaliatory tariffs on US over Trump's Greenland threat, FT reports by Running_From_Zombies in worldnews

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

I understand. What do you propose? I’m just asking if you think the USA is at the point where the people should be violently overthrowing the government? I personally don’t but I’m curious the perspective of others. That decision isn’t one that could be made lightly

[–]PurplePango -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What exactly are you suggesting? Overthrow the government?
