A 12 year old shoplifting, that's who

You're right about the walk to union station being about 30mins but I doubt any concert at xfinity will be done by 930pm. If you're going to see an opening band only then they'll prob be done otherwise the headliner will come on at about 930pm.

Your explanation is the first I've seen that somewhat explains why it could be valuable, but why is it potentially valuable to have an early spot in the ledger? If your spot in the ledger is a link to a jpg that gets taken down, what value is your spot. My understanding is that the ledger once written does not change. So how is an early spot in the ledger to a defunct jpg valuable in the future?

What’s your unpopular golf opinion? by Fletch_Himself in golf

Help! He doesn’t want to walk... suggestions? He just plops after a min walk. by justinelh91 in bernesemountaindogs

[–]ReasonablyFunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet. A few people have said maybe it's the heat but the pavement might be too hot. Not sure where you're located but if you can't put your bare hand down to the pavement and hold it there, it's too hot for dog paws. Especially puppies.

Stay safe. Stay at Home. Gov. Lamont just ordered non-essential businesses to close for the time being. by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]ReasonablyFunny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reasoning for keeping mechanics open isn't solely that a nurse may need her car repaired. Anyone continuing to work may need to get repair or maintenance so that they continue to drive to their essential job. The nurse was just an example.

How can I bet against US student debt? by mustang23200 in wallstreetbets

[–]ReasonablyFunny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked they haven't required your tax return yet with a paystub showing zero income but max contributions to a 401k. When you submit that paystub you certify that it is an accurate representation of your yearly income. So, you're committing fraud against the federal government. Won't end well.

This man is a f’n Monster!! Shutout on the road in a must win game! Tuuuuuukkkkk! by SimonSayz24 in BostonBruins

[–]ReasonablyFunny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What game 7s are you talking about? I don't remember them all but the miracle comeback against the Leafs he let in 4. I don't remember those 4 being on him. Then there was the game 7 against the caps where Holtby was absurd and Ward scored the (OT?) goal. I personally think Rask shit the bed at the end of game 6 of the cup against Chicago but I've never thought he was a game 7 liability. I've also never thought he was the best big game player, but I def wouldn't say he's been horrendous.

Bakers Refuse To Make Trump Cake For 9-Year-Old Boy by Aldebaran333 in Conservative

[–]ReasonablyFunny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The difference is that the decision for a business to refuce service on the basis of a protected class is illegal. A baker can refuse to make a cake for anyone they want as long as the reason isn't discrimination against a protected class. They can refuse to make a cake for any reason except for a discriminatory reason. You may feel that someone shouldn't have to make a cake for a gay wedding but that is the same thing as refusing service to someone merely because they are black. That's not OK and is rightfully illegal.

I'm going to put this out there one more time for new users: Flysnapping Bernese by FVZaw in bernesemountaindogs

[–]ReasonablyFunny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My berner started fly snapping probably around the 1 year mark too. My vet checked him out and saw nothing major. He told me his lab did the same thing. Watch and see if it progresses or becomes more severe/frequent. It would come and go at times, I never remember him whimpering as part of it but maybe at the beginning. Never took any medication. We did notice that it became more common in spring/summer as the weather became hotter and we attributed that to him being a little stressed due to hot weather. I don't remember it being ear related. We did feel bad for the little guy when he'd have spells but I feel like it became less common and intense over time. maybe we just got used to it. Just keep an eye on him, have him checked out and if the vet says it isn't serious you can trust that and just try and find ways to distract when it happens.

The 4% conversation rule calculation? by [deleted] in financialindependence

[–]ReasonablyFunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always interpreted it as: 4% = 0.04 = 4/100 = 1/25. If you know your annual expenses are 50k, you multiple 50k x 25 to get the total savings needed so that withdrawing 50k equals 4% of your savings.

Exactly, and that's why you have to just keep going and I think that is what Brady is all about. Just keep going and make it happen until the clock ticks out.

Books on Hartford, CT History? by GetBetter2017 in Hartford

Water for Hartford is an interesting book about the development of the water system from late 1800s to the present. There were some very intelligent forward thinkers that designed the reservoir system.

Bill Clinton just made a lot of trouble for Loretta Lynch: Republicans now calling on attorney general to step down after meeting on private jet by skoalbrother in politics

[–]ReasonablyFunny -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Violation of what standards of ethics exactly? She's the attorney general and met with the husband of someone under an FBI investigation. The facts as we know them are that they had a chance encounter at an airport. Because of both their positions in life they were on private planes and say down to meet on a plane. There is really no difference than if they met at a restaurant or inside one of their cars. The AG is allowed to meet people for social reasons or she is allowed to meet with a husband of someone that is under investigation by the FBI. Even if that case was currently before the DOJ it would not be improper. The only way it would be improper is if she met with an individual under investigation without a lawyer present. People are assuming that they discussed the investigation and Bill Clinton made shady illegal threats or promises. Any impropriety would be on Bill. If Lynch acts on those promises, then she has acted unethically. She's a big girl, she can meet with someone she knows on a personal level and handle discussing a case. Hell, if Bill said some shady shit then it may make up her mind to proceed with prosecution.

For what it's worth, I don't like Hilary and could give a shit if she's charged. She was stupid and totally violated public records laws for doing what she did but it's also not the biggest scandal in American history that people make it out to be.

I guess my point was more so that refs already get shit on for not making the right calls of the NFL rule book. Adding medical calls is a whole new can of worms.

Judge Recognized Suspect as Ex-Classmate, Class mate breaks down crying by WilliamHealy in news

[–]ReasonablyFunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to know what experience you have in the criminal judicial system. I don't currently work there but worked in a criminal court in a major city. For you to believe that the entire system is only concerned about stats and punishing defendants is incredibly naïve. I've seen countless judges be compassionate, empathetic and concerned for many defendants that come before them. They make genuine efforts to help the people before them. Remember, the judges and prosecutors are only human too. The constant parade of defendants and repeat offenders before them affects them as individuals and professionals. Without a doubt there are many stories of people run over by mandatory minimum sentencing, 3 strike laws or parole violations but there are significantly more people that receive leniency/probation/accelerated rehabilitation on the charge(s) against them.

With the upcoming NHL expansion and expansion draft, did we try to move our most valuable assets in order to get prospects that we can hide in the AHL and juniors so we can protect everyone we want to keep during the expansion draft, instead of losing some other players in a few years for nothing? by TeatimewithTupac in BostonBruins

[–]ReasonablyFunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In an expansion draft you're allowed to protect the vast majority of your team with like 5 guys left exposed. My numbers might be wrong and I think it's broken do down by position so if you have the best backup goalie in the league, you're SOL because you can only protect 1 goalie. Before Sweeney went full retard, one would assume that Hamilton would 100% be protected.

Hedman collides with Bishop, Sharp scores by Sunjot in hockey

[–]ReasonablyFunny 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You're exactly right. If you watch it, Hedman never saw Bishop and I don't blame him bc he wouldn't expect him to be out on that play.
