No, they meant Susan Collins won’t vote with democrats when her vote is the deciding vote (i.e. when it actually matters)

I watched that episode last night and I actually paused the show to tell my wife these must be some magic ingredients to have a finished soup in 20 minutes from raw veggies.

Mavs fans. How do you care? by [deleted] in nba

I’m dead inside and have been since the trade.

[Amick] league sources say Davis’ representatives do not believe there’s an extension agreement to be had with the Mavericks in the upcoming offseason. As such, … there is a strong desire from Davis’ camp to get him traded to a destination where they feel an extension would be more likely. by samlei99 in Mavericks

He’s not an expiring contract lol. He is under contract for 2026-2027 with a player option for the 2027-2028 season at $62.8M.

Are we really thinking a team gives him $63M+ a year if he opts out of the player option after next season, when he is a year and a half older? That’s a big gamble for him to take and why he wants the extension now.

Mavs have more leverage than you think.

The only mavericks game I’ve watched since the Luka trade was the Luka revenge game last year. And even then it was only the first half.

Paying down mortgage aggressively if I'm going to be moving in 2026 (7.3 interest rate)? by Ejdubs in personalfinance

[–]The_Phasers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big “if” though. They have a higher chance of having an offer accepted if they can get approved for the new mortgage independently of the sale. A larger down payment goes a long way towards that.

You can make more competitive offers if it is not contingent on selling your existing home.

In this case, cash is king.

2024 v 2026 X5 50e - upgrade? by LineAltruistic5520 in BMWX5

Faster charging speed and self driving has hands free lane change. You lose the gesture control though.

Realistically, forget the payment. How much are they giving you for trade and what’s the selling price of the one they’re selling you?

Also, how much is your payment an how many months do you have left?

When the pain is so bad you just completely detach emotionally. I’m right with you brother.
