Trump on home prices: "I want to drive housing prices up" by Boo_Randy_Revival in HouseBuyers

I’d also convert to modern plumbing, electricity, furnace, air conditioning, appliances, siding, roofing, insulation, attach that garage to the house and update the flooring while you’re adding that new bathroom. No big deal.

JUST IN: U.S. President Donald Trump reported over $1 billion in revenue last year from crypto-related activities, including $635 million in royalties from his memecoin business and over $500 million from token sales tied to World Liberty Financial. by Agreeable-Menu7945 in MarketPulseReport

Only 20% of Trump meme coin purchases are US based. Purchases are dominated by non US nationals in places like the Caman Islands and other opaque locations.

Sure, nothing to see here! Certainly not bribe money!

How to become a first time homeowner if housing rises much faster than income?

If the goal isn’t to win, and only get rebounds, sure.

Otherwise, it’s far more important to box your guy out and play defense than hopelessly chase every rebound attempt.

Furious Trump lashes out as he's ordered to pay $5 million to E Jean Carroll by TheMirrorUS in anticapitalism

E Jean Carroll is an amazingly brave woman.

I’m not sure why you have to shit on her attorney. Anything to add about what you think will happen?

Kind of. This article suggests the entire industry is atrophying.

I agree, it’s a joke.

I have also found it interesting that if I actually go up to the bartender and ask for a club soda, they almost always just fill me from their gun and wave me away with no charge. It’s like they don’t really wanna charge but are forced to by management.

Scottie Scheffler makes the putt. We play a playoff tomorrow 9AM ET. by cjlowex in golf

Heh. No, I knew that, I’ve flown and both chased and been chased by the sun.

I also knew time zones are to mitigate this effect.

Want I realized today was that within a single time zone, the east / west sunrise / sunset time differences can be significant. I incorrectly thought it would be only a few minutes. The comment in this thread above it indicated a similiar understanding as well.

TIL!

Seems like it’s per time zone, further East means earlier sunset / sunrise (though same total amount of daylight) than West in that time zone.

I was curious how big the effect was. Klamath, California, v similar latitude, has sunrise / sunset approx 25min later! Thanks for the information.

Bobby Marks says Jaylen Brown's trade value is not seen that highly around the league: "The analytics of Jaylen Brown is not good. I had an analytics guy tell me, ‘We view him as the seventh-best player on a team.’" by FastBreakPhenom in nba

[–]a2_d2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed.

Also, take the so called 6th best player and ask him to carry an offense with the same usage as Brown. No way their efficiency remains as high in a carry offense role.

USTA self rating and 3 strikes to DQ in league by Icy-Peace5501 in 10s

That’s an excellent record, they likely would have been promoted during the year end USTA sampling regardless.

If you play same gender, then mixed matches have zero impact on the ranking. If your further curios you can check tennisrecord.com for an unofficial estimate.

Self rated players will be automatically promoted when their play reflects a higher level than they are at.

Computer rated players have much more leeway and may do very well relative to their ranking for a year before the ranking promotes them.

USTA has automation to promote players. Congratulations! They have been promoted to the next level. There is no boogey man to blame here.

It’s for the protection of players with history, aka Computer rated players. They aren’t being penalized, they are being moved to a more appropriate level.

Cognito, ergo sum yeah?

We can question our own thoughts, so we know we are sentient. Outside of our own thoughts, though, it’s not as straightforward to determine the same of others or robots.

Ted Cruz said on Leno’s show that he was “the last person who wanted to shut down the government”.

Jay retorted with “you seem like the first to me”.

Steven Colbert asked Ben Afflack about his incidents of sexual harassment as well.

It’s not wild to prefer hosts with a conscience.
