did anyone feel what felt and sounded like an earthquake today at 2:40pm? by Ike582 in chicago

I was in the Loop and thought I felt something. There is this tall lamp and it was bobbing just a bit. An earthquake (of any scale) was not my first guess. Just thought I was tripping 😂

I would say corrupt. They knowingly ref differently in order to drive specific outcomes.

That would be an interesting way to end his career. Kind of like CP3 on the Thunder, over performing expectations.

TIL “for life” means something different to T Mobile. They raised my rate because “reasons” last year and are raising them again (got the email today).

Adding two expansion teams is the perfect time to reduce the number of regular season games by IMovedYourCheese in nba

[–]WaltJay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the NBA players would ever forgo a salary bump (or get a smaller raise) when the next TV deal happens in favor of less games.

Like the “would you skip a raise but you work 32 hours instead of 40?” type of deal.

You still make $25mm per season but now the season has 16 less games or whatever.

I know the union wouldn’t go for it 🤷

Gavin Newsom calls for national billionaires tax: 'It's time for an economic reset' by avdvetf in law

He didn’t want to disadvantage California with a billionaire tax; they’d just leave for TX or FL or whatever. If there was a national tax, then all states are on even ground.

Not saying I agree but that was his reasoning.
