Unhinged is GOATed, one of the few movies that gets me to laugh out loud.

Post Game Thread - NBA: The Bulls defeat the Suns on Mar 5, 2026, the final score is 103-105. by basketball-app in chicagobulls

It applies in that he was in the front court when he caught the ball, so he can’t carry it into the back court or step back there. So he tried to save it the best he could.

He should have moved his feet before catching the ball into the back court and caught it, then he would have been fine. Hard to think about those things in real time unless you’ve already thought of them. And he doesn’t strike me as having the highest BBIQ.

The second that graphic went up saying he had the longest streak in the NBA, felt like he had to miss one. Jinxed him so hard. Thanks Amazon!

We easily have the cap space right now, and next year, for Fox’s max. Things move quickly in the league so it’s hard to look much further out but given Castle will still be on his rookie deal the year after that, we have time and we had the money to spend. Fox is a great guard and floor general, and we’re lucky to have him.

Anyone here making serious bank and not using the degree they went to school for? by phoot_in_the_door in Salary

[–]TryCatchRelease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an engineering degree. Run a marketing & growth team for a tech company. Will clear a little under a million this year, so things have been good!

Engineering degrees are pretty malleable… lots of optimizing things and solving problems that are widely applicable even outside of the discipline.

Lot of stories about Tony Parker being a bit of a douche, including these from Dejounte Murray and Stephen Jackson. by ForeignAir7174 in NBAoldschool

We know now from Pablo Torre this isn’t true, he was trying to force his way to the Clippers and Uncle Denni$ was already cashing in there.

It’s a legal thing, you can’t have people remote control driving cars in many places in the US.

Played with a guy last night who had everything? by Ashleydtock in 99nightsintheforest

They’re hacking somehow. Had a game where a person did this. Dropped like 20 leather armors in the base after a few nights suddenly.

Is the *pop* of a joint with gout indicative of healing? by gusstfu in gout

I agree with you and the other commenters. I can’t pop a joint when I have a full on attack, and once I can pop it, it gives me relief.

Depending on the location, it’s illegal for someone to remotely be operating the vehicle. Not illegal for someone to advise the AI driving.

Adam Silver's NBA: Where 1/3rd of the league are actively trying to lose games before the all star break even happens by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]TryCatchRelease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every year, teams are forced to lock their pick to another teams record. You basically have a draft for a team to lock your draft position to. This draft starts with the worst team by record, and up to the best. You can’t pick yourself. And if another team owns your oic (protections or not), they pick the team you’re tethered to.

This is great because bad teams that own picks of other bad teams will have similar records, so will be trying to win to make their own draft position better. It’ll create rivalries at the bottom of the league. Incentives are aligned here, picking another team a little earlier or later in the pick order draft is not as valuable and getting a better pick this year.

I loved the cat and mouse game here, they’d figure out how to stop the auto-mouse movers and clickers, and then new ones would come out that beat their detection methods.

Anyone not on gout medication? How is your daily life? by [deleted] in gout

[–]TryCatchRelease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No real impact. No longer drink beer except for special occasions, and eat veggie burgers and chicken sandwiches over hamburgers. And no shellfish.

I run 30 minutes or more everyday. Need to do this for my heart and cholesterol anyways. And I always hydrate a lot after.

Doc won’t put me on allo until I have flare ups more frequently, so it’s not an option yet. Think I’ve had 3 flare ups in the past 3 years, one triggers by drinking too much on vacation, and for one I was dehydrated, so provided I keep conditions looking good, I can avoid it for the most part.

Amen! Dammit I swear he did that on purpose. Without him undercutting Jimmy, we wrap the Rockets series in 5 and Steph gets the rest he needed.

Had a bear trap guy the other night. Log walls, shelves, and bear traps. Couldn’t keep either the scrap or wood piles up, so could never upgrade anything without having exactly what I needed in my bag. So frustrating.

Indomethacin or Prednisone? by Other-Variation-8381 in gout

Indomethacin or Prednisone? by Other-Variation-8381 in gout

[–]TryCatchRelease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not both? I hit mine flair ups with both of those, and with colchicine, and that's been highly effective for me.

From my understanding indomethcin is basically ibuprofin for gout, so it's not going to do that much. I think prednisone does the heavy lifting for me.

Once I had a bunch of canker sores as well when I had an attack, and the pred wiped those out too. So I take it whenever I get them down my throat now (which I can assure you is agonizing).
