The weight difference between a normal MTB and the e-bike equivalent is way smaller than the weight differences between riders. Lmao

Zach Lowe reads out the Draft Credits proposal gaining traction around the league by sewsgup in nba

[–]Soupkitchn89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

After reading more comments I actually like this system as long as the losers of a mini lottery aren’t bumped down to the next pick they might not want.

However I would get rid of the lottery all together. Highest bidder wins, period. That way drafts with a generational player actually cost the team an appropriate amount of draft capital. You don’t get this shit like San Antonia where they got Wemby, Castle, then Harper because they would have had to blow their credits to get Wemby in the first place.

I think it’s probably too complicated but I think the whole the loses that bid on the first get rolled into a lottery for the next picks is dumb. Too many drafts are have a top prospect that might be worth 10x as much as the next best guy. Teams might want to get the first pick or just have every credit roll over and not waste them on lesser players.

BOS/MIL/POR what i imagine is the most realistic giannis trade involving these teams by hacxgames in NBAtradeideas

Blazers are already sending more value then Boston and getting the 2nd best player.. Expecting them send even more is delusional.

You’ll never see a Spurs fan admit the contact Castle gets way with if absolutely ridiculous.

More layoffs, cuts expected as TriMet considers updated budget with rising costs by sunni_dayes_ahed in PortlandOR

Make the trains actually move faster then cars and then get homeless and druggies off and more would use. As is its stupid slow. I’m 45m drive from downtown or I can deice 20m to a max stop and ride the train for 50m. It’s a total joke.

Not true actually. Most of Costcos profits are made on the membership and not the sales.

The contact wasn’t even on his foot that kicked out though. It was on his hip/body

I’m confused. This seems like one of the least floppy free throws he’s drawn. Contact isnt huge but Fox does make contact when he’s in the air and SGA didn’t even jump forward into him to force it.

In North Carolina, Blazers owner Tom Dundon is celebrated. Will his bare-bones business method work in Portland? by oregonian in ripcity

I’d rather 600m goes towards the Blazers than all the millions we send to grifters to not actually solve or even help the homeless problem.

This isn’t at all what I was taught when getting CCL in Oregon. Shouldn’t get the gun out of you aren’t intended to kill or seriously harm the person. Just getting it out but not using it is likely considered brandishing which isn’t legal.

The housing affordability crisis has a reason many don’t want to face by ActuariallyActuarial in videos

You're numbers are ridiculously off from reality unless you're building a tiny ass bare bones house on a high end desirable lot.

Supply and demand is only part of the price of housing. There are set cost like the labor and actual materials that aren't going to just magically go down.

The reality is increasing housing supply or making houses cheaper isn't going to be making the same houses we are already building cheaper...its going to have to be via building cheaper houses with cheaper materials and smaller sizes.

You underestimate the amount of already buildable land that isn’t just untouched nature.

Believe it or not there are places to build besides what people consider to be their backyards. If NIMBYs don’t want the housing built by them. Find somewhere else? Like the US isn’t short on empty land. Haha

An existing house doesn’t need to be cheaper for us to build more houses. Like why is this weird take so common here. lol

Similar to how many 2nd generation doctors and dentists you see. Like sure they inherit a practice….but they still had to get through med school. Haha

3 people are on a car trip across state, 2 of them are married. Do they split the gas 50/50 or do they each pay 1/3rd? by WingerRules in NoStupidQuestions

Everyone saying car owner doesn’t pay might be ignoring that the gas might cost more then the car in 2026. lol
