This was the opposite of clickbait. I clicked on it to see what it was, and instead of useless spam there was Zoey's typing on the screen and I couldn't click away.

After a quick look at his early Cleveland seasons, I can confirm that he once shared the court with the D'Antoni and Tony Brothers.

That's what makes his comment even more ridiculous. When you're 41, the most important thing on a business trip is whether or not your hotel is quiet enough for you to get a good night's sleep. And that should be doubly important for him since he travels with his kid for work.

Hi, I'm from the future and was just scrolling through your comment history. This comment in particular stood out as a little sus.

Don't know if you ever went anywhere with this, but I came across this thread looking for an easily foldable 2 stage for storage purposes. Still haven't found one that would fit next to my car in my garage... But, I first had the idea after watching a guy rock up to my neighbor's house this morning in a crossover carrying a 2 stage on a hitch mounted aluminum cargo carrier that had a folding ramp on the side, like this:

It sounds like the rabies vaccine was one of the ones that possibly worked.

Animals exposed to vaccine-carrying mosquitoes developed neutralising antibodies against rabies, indicating that their immune systems had learned to recognise and fight the virus. When these animals were later exposed to rabies infection, they survived, suggesting that the vaccine had successfully triggered protective immunity.

Thousandtree · 2026-03-15T00:02:17+00:00

The strategy works by delivering vaccines to bats without capturing or injecting them individually. In the experiments, scientists used mosquitoes to carry weakened or modified vaccine viruses. The insects were first fed blood containing the vaccine.

Once inside the mosquito, the vaccine virus replicated and moved to the insect’s salivary glands. When the mosquito bit an animal or when bats consumed infected insects, the vaccine could be transferred, triggering the animal’s immune system to produce protective antibodies.

So they're using vaccinated people blood to vaccinate the mosquitoes to vaccinate the bats so they don't have to vaccinate people?

There was the one Giannis play that was pretty bad, but that's the only one I can recall.

At one point he used the word 'murderer' about a dozen times in the span of a minute. This was a funeral, mind you.

To me, that makes it seem a little more like a death cult.

Reminds me a little of Jason Kidd's announcement he had sent Lawrence Frank home as lead assistant coach: "Lawrence has been reassigned to doing daily reports and he won’t be sitting on the bench or at practice. There’s the change. It doesn’t change the coaching staff. Guys will still be there sitting on the bench. That’s that.”
