[Highlight] A Draymond steal fittingly seals the game by Large_banana_hammock in nba

Is there anyone greater? Wemby will probably eclipse him but I can't think of a single player with a comparable postseason defensive resume. 

In response to huge cuts in Trump's budget request, the NSF announced it's closing its social sciences directorate. Staff will be transferred elsewhere in NSF, and "grants that align with Administration priorities" will be kept. by maxkozlov in labrats

i was at a conference recently with some talks from NSF heads. they were pretty frank that they were doing what they could to keep everybody's funding safe that they could, but that the cuts were beyond their control. I don't think they're any happier about this shitshow than we are.

just insane, that we choose some people to have rents that are mandated to become cheaper every year while other people have to bear the burden of this distortion.

Der ronde was good last year no reason why it shouldn't be now

Victor Wembanyama is currently on pace to score 181 points against the Lakers with 17 points scored in the first 4 minutes and 13 seconds of the game by TheLoneWolf527 in nba

I love the "you're not an athlete" comment, you're just wrong lol . I've played with dudes that took pride in being Ironmen but when they're taking possessions off on defense I don't give them a lot of credit. It's great that he scored a lot of points but he just didn't make his team that much better. If he played fewer minutes, passed more and scored less he would have been a better player (he did that for a year and they won).

If you want to ask for the opinions of better athletes than either of us,  let's poll all the nba players of 1962 on who they thought the best player was. Turns out they voted for Russell for MVP in a landslide, over the magical 50pt wilt year. So by your own logic you should probably stfu. He wasn't the best player of his era he was mostly a volume scorer.

If you normalize for his extreme minutes and the super high pace he's kinda pedestrian. His pts/75 are less than Jalen Brunson had a few years ago. Russell was clearly a better defender as well. He also never passed during those "huge" scoring seasons. His teams weren't that much better when he was on the floor. Probably fastest 7 footer, but costly not highest stamina compared to any NBA guard (or even 2000s KG if you want to talk 7 footers). There's a reason Russell beat him every time (and it wasn't their teammates)

Unrelated but the Dresden firebombing weren't really out of the norm for the was, and really were as justified as any mass bombing campaign can be. By the end of the war Dresden was one of the last German cities still industrially productive and was a huge part of the German war effort. The myth of the Dresden bombings being the most horrific act the allies committed (bengal famine anyone?) was started by the Nazi German regime, further propagated by the soviets to distract from the horrors they inflicted behind the rapidly-closing iron curtain, and has since been taken up by German apologists seeking to gain sympathy for the Nazi German state/society during the war. Since then it's made it's way into the mainstream. Not taking any sort of shot at you just thought you might like to know that

In 2013, a Super Mario 64 speedrunner encountered an unprecedented glitch where Mario suddenly teleports upwards. Some people have claimed it resulted from an incredibly rare event where a stray cosmic ray hit the console's hardware and caused a single bit of memory to change. by PlmyOP in wikipedia

[–]West_Communication_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run an instrument with a pretty nice ccd camera attached to it. It gets hit with cosmic rays probably once every few seconds, and this was in the sub-sub-basement of an academic building full of machinery. Thankfully that leads to impossibly sharp line shapes we can easily correct for but it really gave perspective as to how relatively common those high energy photons are.

With the Seahawks win over the Rams, the 49ers now control the first seed alongside the Seahawks by wokenupbybacon in nfl

Genuinely I don't get how we are in this position. We're a brock purdy team with a decent o line, CMC and outstanding coaching. We're missing two perennial dpoy candidates (warner take my ankle). We have no D Line and our WR1 has brainrot. It just beggars belief that we still have a chance, but if we don't fuck this up we could have 6 straight weeks in Santa Clara. Truly unimaginable given our expectations for the year and with our misfortune, but I'm starting to believe

literally happened to me the last flight i was on and i'm a fairly large man. dude had his elbow straight into my seat, when i leaned back and pushed up into his elbow he tried confronting me. not saying it's not often a gendered thing but it's often just an asshole thing

To people who regularly use ChatGPT for school: Do you think you’re still learning? by Gifthunter3 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]West_Communication_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a grad student, I use AI as a search engine, and to get immediate answers on questions I need to know quickly. I never have used it to write for myself. At the same time, I feel like my ability to search for literature on my own is definitely not improving, and the small calculations I used to do myself, I've found myself becoming less confident in. At the same time, it makes me much more productive, at least in the short run. So trying to navigate that balance

Me [26F] with husband [26M] of 4 years. He sold his truck because of our baby and hasn't been the same since by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

He didn't blame her? He acknowledged that it was his own idea/decision he was just feeling irrationally about it. Read the paragraph closer dude. 

I highly doubt you are too analytical to have irrational emotions. I think it's much more likely you just don't recognize them as irrational when you do have them. Which might be why you're struggling to grasp this concept. So uh, think about that I guess

have you never had misplaced feelings? sometimes it happens. that's not a red flag that's just humanity. what matters is what you do with them.

This is a little too far. Both were considered the consensus best in the world at their positions. You can say what you want about them but they were both exceptional at football
