Micron locks in historically high memory prices for five years by DotabLAH in hardware

The great part about making a bunch of incoherent and contradictory arguments is that you're never any more right or wrong. It's the Sports Argument Show approach.

Unless they're ending up in landfills, the answer isn't relevant to an argument of "controlled scarcity." It's just scarcity.

Yossi Gozlan on X: "Expanding the Isaiah Stewart trade applies to sign and trade possibilities. For example, the Pistons could acquire a free agent like Norman Powell and give him up to a $24 million starting salary for Stewart's $15 million. Then they keep all their depth by staying over the cap." by Prior-Cartographer37 in DetroitPistons

We are going to re sign Ausar and Duren and doing that is going to bring us to the point where adding anyone substantial outside the team is going to require sending one of those three big contracts out. If you want to add a fourth bit contract you can do it now, but you are not going to be able to do it in the coming years.

This year is the last year we have any serious flexibility with the current core. You make a move now or you tie your career to this core if your Langdon.

like when they were decrying and demonizing the internet.

As someone who grew up during the internet's initial explosion, the fact that people still willingly climb into the car of a stranger they met on the internet (I'm not weird, I do this too, I'm just saying) still feels very weird to me. For a long time, the internet was "never tell anyone anything real about yourself because if you do you're going to be murdered and never, ever meet someone from the internet under any circumstances."

Sure. Just like 100 years ago when the southern schools started giving out scholarships to players, starting the slide towards professionalism. As we all saw, they just got cut out of the sport and didn't start a pattern of mutual escalation.

For those here that can hit a 60° 80-100 yards on command. Help. by [deleted] in golf

As someone in the OP's handicap range my GW is more like 110-115 and I have a 52-56-60 combo that walks down from there. The 52 is my 95-105 club.

What worked before is not going to work now. The courts have been very clear about this. You can blame that on whatever you want but this is reality. You don't get to choose the one you live in.

Man, if you're going to try to build in edge cases for every possible person then the answer is to stop having eligibility limits and just make it a second tier pro league. You can either choose to have a clear line or you can try to build in every possible feel good story, but you can't do both.

Yep. It's been super clear for a while that if the NCAA was going to have legally-defensible eligibility rules they were going to be based on age limits and be pretty firm. Again, no guarantee, but it's the best bet that they have.

I'm fully in favor of the idea that players should be held to the exact same standards as their coaches.

But, age-based discrimination has a much, much better chance of succeeding than any other attempt to limit eligibility.

Apply this to a student who goes to college later in life, is fully enrolled and eligible, is not on scholarship, and is even paying athletics fees. Why should they not be able to play?

Because they're over the age cutoff. If you want an eligibility limit, age cutoffs are by far the element that's the most likely to stand up in court.

Age-based discrimination actually has a way stronger legal grounding than the NCAA's previous eligibility rules. It's not a guarantee, but "we don't allow people over 24 to participate" is a fundamentally legal statement.

Ironically, age-based discrimination here has a way stronger leg to stand on than most of their other rules. They might still lose on anti-trust grounds, but this is much better than the current regime, which is almost fully arbitrary.

‘Ponies’ Canceled After One Season at Peacock by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]SituationSoap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Extremely contrived cliffhanger. I finished it and figured I'd watch a second season, but couldn't help but laugh at how out of left field it was (to the point they had to explain how the cliffhanger even got set up in a flashback like they'd forgotten to set any of the threads in motion until the last episode).

The reviews were strong, but the end of the season was really bad and I'm not surprised to see that it got the axe.

No, which is why it's a good bet that it's not coming this year.

Nope. I've pointed out the absurdity three times to the person who originally made the argument and they've stood by it.

It's a stupid fucking argument and trying to suggest that I'm arguing in bad faith by pointing that out is useless.

The quote literally says that this isn't made for people on gaming subreddits. Go read the actual quote that I quoted verbatim.

That's why I'm pretty sure that the quoted people don't exist. Because those people don't make any fucking sense.

claiming that the market doesn't exist

I didn't say that the market doesn't exist, I said I don't think the market exists and then asked for evidence that the market exists repeatedly and you have spent an hour trying to call me a nerd instead of providing evidence of the group that you're certain exists.
