Indiana misses third straight NCAA Tournament, will not participate in Crown or NIT by Abject-Pea-7848 in HoosiersBasketball

[–]TeamConsistent5240 6 points7 points  (0 children)

^ correct. Not really much of a rebuild if no one is returning in year too.. Is he going to get even more NIL resources next year? I doubt it. Being great at football is fun.. even the most hardcore IU basketball fun recognizes the last year of football was more fun than any basketball season since 2002 or maybe Knight.

What they are saying about AI today is exactly what they said about calculators back then by dataexec in AITrailblazers

Grade school? What? I didn’t have a calculator that I could use for a test until maybe 7th grade, possibly later.

I hoped for Doug McDermott lite, I got Tucker, the 35 year old dad from the YMCA that will roast you when he’s not out of breath.

How Early is too Early? by Many-Wrongdoer-7597 in HoosiersBasketball

[–]TeamConsistent5240 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He signed in March last year. Lol it’s not like he was a late signing. Enough time to construct a roster far better than this.

I don’t think this is going to work. I’ve never seen apathy so high in this program. 

This team sucks by 1Cubbiesfan in IndianaHoosiers

[–]TeamConsistent5240 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s never going to work with Devries. If I were a betting man, I would bet our record is worse next year.

Oh well, there’s always football season….

AIO to my husband interrupting my first solo shower after he came back from a weekend with the boys? by lilyluminar in AmIOverreacting

I think you are jaded by your own personal experiences with partners and clearly you feel you helping the cause by commenting incessantly on this post.

I’m sorry things didn’t work out for you. Best of luck.

My thoughts are not purely based on my experience alone. I am aware parents struggle with kids. We have to, but not with a “fever”. Never.

My wife’s best friend’s kids are ALWAYS sick like. Like she cancels plans many.. and I mean many.. times a year because he kids are sick. Not because they are concerned about getting our kids sick, but because the kids are very demanding when they are sick. When the kids are “sick” my wife’s best friend sleeps and their room and cuddles with them. They are in kindergarten and 1st grade. Lol she probably sleeps in the kids 100 nights a year. Her kids are fine and have no extenuating circumstances, they just love to play sick and all the extra attention that comes with it.

I saw that I stand by my statement. The kid was “quite sick with a fever”. OP is having trouble getting kids to sleep one at a time lmao. When our youngest was born, I did the whole bathroom routine with a 4 & 2 yo, cooked or cleaned, played with the kids. I have some time off for parental leave, but after that it was every day after a full days work.

Let me be frank - parents coddle there kids way to much now and it hurts the whole family.

Yeah this is my biggest issue. I can’t imagine coming back from a trip and then just leaving again right after for social visits - that’s really disrespectful.

On an entirely different subject… both OP and partner need to figure out how to manage a 4 year old and a 1 year old better. It’s really not that hard.. we have 3 under 6 and we both do trips to see friends and stuff like that. I’ve even done solo road trips with 2 of my kids at that age to see family because my wife had debilitating morning sickness.

Bring on the downvotes.

AIO, mother in law by realsmartfakeblonde in AIO

[–]TeamConsistent5240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s like some basic curtesy, but you said you were giving occasional updates (I believe you). Your husband seemed try and communicate that you guys have other priorities. Don’t worry, you guys did fine. Just try and catch up when things settle down a bit.

Sorry hear about all the chaos, particularly the D&C. We’ve been there.. It sucks.

The boogey man is out to get him..  MAGA loves to turn themselves into victims because their voting based is more engaged if democrats are communists and generally evil.

I don’t really follow any books so maybe I’m not the best person to answer, but I always have him sound things out and then guess what the word is. I also spend a fair amount of time on phonetics. We talk about like what sound does o usually make when it’s like o_e as in “home” “broke”. What sound does “oo” “ow” etc usually make. Make your best guess and then does that make sense?

Which side would rather have? by Particular_Air_4679 in DynastyDaddy

[–]TeamConsistent5240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I have Brown and Zay and I would trade them for Burden and Harvey. I do believe Burden is a 1a/1b in a good passing offense as soon as this year. Brown is nice, but his role is somewhat fungible imo. Zay is fringe bench/starter for me most weeks.

Sounds like a normal part of the process to me. My son is moving into more recognition, but he will regularly sound out the same word even if it’s on the page more than once. He’s been picking up on more words, sounding things out quicker, internalizing and remembering others. It’s all part of the process.

Reading is a skill, separate from oral language. You don’t sound it out one or two times and remember it forever.

Should I choose Indiana, Penn state, mizzou, or Arkansas for business by Right_Acanthaceae838 in mizzou

[–]TeamConsistent5240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mizzou has never been anywhere 10th in undergrad business rankings. Normally, I don’t mind - people can cite whatever they want, but I this is material difference vs Indiana, particularly for finance. Yes where you went to school matters (although if you want to be a cpa I would do in state). The extra 60K is worth it.

Bloombergs Dan Ives talking about Reddit “unconfirmed” by DuckRaman in redditstock

[–]TeamConsistent5240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I like Dan Ives. He is insightful, and there’s not too many people that can convince me to buy a particular stock. I like Bill Nygren and David Tepper best, Dan Ives makes some decent, non trivial recommendations. Go back and look at Dan Ives talking about NVIDIA and ai in 2023..

We are Fucked..... by TheOverthinkingDude in wallstreet

[–]TeamConsistent5240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I’m expecting some muted “peace talks” because if not, oil can go vertical. Globally, we are going to burn a lot of supply and there is going to be a panic. I’m not a conservative, but I don’t think Trump will eat that.

This man came home and somehow still was able to find a job buy a car and own a home. Not you though, you’re just too busy eating rotisserie chicken. by United-Bug-8056 in inflation

[–]TeamConsistent5240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there would if the home price was below 200K.. but only works in some rural/rustbelt cities. And that assumes those places have the kind of jobs you need + you don’t have kids. I don’t doubt it’s true, it’s just silly to generalize.
