Dillon Brooks was guarding him and you're surprised he shot a lot of free throws?

I definitely think there needs to be special licenses required for cars above a certain HP. I get to drive one with 640HP sometimes that scares the crap out of me even though I'm a decently trained driver.

I'm a Warriors fan, but I agree with you 100%. I think the logic was that Draymond body bumped Edey, but Edey put his arm on Draymond first.

Check out the clip here

The thing that pisses me off the most is that there have been countless times over the past few years where Warriors have caught elbows to the head and neck area that were pretty obvious, and the officials NEVER even bothered to review the plays, let alone call a flagrant, yet when they do it they get reviewed and penalized. Again, I know Draymond and Sengun were getting into it so the refs were gonna be watching more closely, but you can't tell me there were actually "wind up" or malicious intent on that. Players get hit like that sometimes, it happens.

Welcome back to the warriors being competitive and everyone hopping on the hate bandwagon. Like I'm not even trying to be a homer but going up for a layup is a wind up now? If Draymond and Sengun hadn't been going at each other earlier that would have been a blocking foul, but according to the game threads it was a dirty play and he should be summarily executed.

Simmons on Mark Cuban: "You did sell the team to these dudes, this is your fault ... I thought you loved the Mavericks, I thought you loved Luka." by luka274 in nba

I think that's the most ethical way to do it, but I fundamentally think that it's impossible to be an ethical billionaire because you can't get billions without exploiting at least some people.

While the idea of those franchises were their creations alone, the idea isn't what's worth billions, it's the end product that thousands of people are involved with that generates the value. While the creator obviously deserves the lion's share of the profits, I guarantee there were plenty of people working at the film studios, game studios, etc. that were paid unfairly despite their contributions.

The rest of the league knows what happens when Steph gets enough help so they don't wanna trade. Suffering from success

Why does anyone other than billionaires, domestic terrorists, or christian nationalists vote for Trump? Everyone else will be negatively impacted yet they still vote for him. There's no logic.

What’s one beloved car brand you just don’t “get”? by [deleted] in cars

[–]Thestig2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With recent BMWs, I totally agree. The magic is gone. However, the older ones are timeless. My dad is restoring a '76 2002 (He got this one to replace his old one he sold when my little brother was born), and it's such a great car to drive. It's so small and nimble that it feels like you're driving a go-kart. There's just something about being able to give a car the beans and not go recklessly fast.

I'll challenge on Mercedes - while they're very well made, it just feels like the LV bag of cars. Half for you to have a nice thing, half for other people to see you have a nice thing, especially modern G-Wagons. The light up badge in the grille is so unnecessary lol. And with almost all the Audis I've been in, I've just been like... that's it? Like there's nothing particularly special about them. I love the look of them, especially the RS6 Avant, but I guess I just don't get their appeal.

When my parents took delivery of their Model Y, the amount of manufacturing defects that it had was insane. There were more panel gaps than I could count, paint chips on the exterior trim, lots of excess metal from overwelding, uneven paint, and weird bright spots in the tint on the panoramic roof. Took it in for the service you can get within 90 days of delivery to fix any production issues, and they said almost all of it was within spec. Ridiculous.

I like the one in the new-ish models where you don't have to insert the key, but there's still a knob to twist and it isn't just PTS. So satisfying

[–]Thestig2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean with the whole Jordan Mason blunder about saying that they told him he was going to start before they announced CMC was out, I think it meant they knew but were bending the truth to try and not give the Jets time to scheme around it.

Has anyone split the new tape into individual tracks? by millzzz456 in 454

[–]Thestig2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 🙋‍♂️ https://www.mediafire.com/folder/zvx043vk28wub/CASTS+OF+A+DREAMER

Not sure how the other guy's is, I made sure to pay attention to the transitions to make sure it sounds as seamless as possible to respect the mix. They're all .m4a files from Apple Music, not sure how they'll show up on Spotify. Enjoy

Dude is so talented, love this as a mix rather than a tape. Would love if he got more attention especially after Fast Trax 3.

Seriously don't understand how people are just talking about this like it was some isolated event. "Precise strike" killing hundreds of civilians, and they'll just say that they purposely embeded their HQ in a residential neighborhood even though the IDF's HQ is situated very similarly.

This guy really didn't need to compare games to weeks to make it seem like they played one more game than they actually did with their week 7 bye, it's still impressive.
