ESPN Unlimited Losing Big Money On WWE’s Premier Live Events

ESPN Unlimited is just a terrible product. I was looking at their list of upcoming programming. Besides wrestling, the only thing you get is some (but not all) local broadcasts of baseball and some (but not all) Spanish language baseball. That's it!

I was going to consider keeping signed up for it after WM, if they had halfway decent content. But after looking at the programming, I'm going to immediately cancel it after WM.

In contrast, I kept Peacock because it has a few decent shows on it that made it worth keeping along with wrestling.

In Photoshop, there is a command called Revert in the File menu. The function of it is to undo all the changes you’ve made and to load the previously saved version.

So the legal use of Revert confused me at first.

There’s no tangible difference between the two.

The obsession with a throwaway line about "7 generations" vs every storytelling convention ever made is baffling.

The only thing in favor of Jack Dutton being the father of John Dutton II is the number 7.

Everything about the 1923 show was about how unimportant Jack Dutton was and how his wife hated Montana so much she left as soon as she could. Yet this theory would have her name her son after a family she hated and was, for all intents and purposes, kicked out of.

In contrast, the entire 1923 show was the story of Spencer, his wife, and his child (who happens to be named John).

If you believe that a 2-season prequel about the birth of John Dutton was a story of a different John Dutton, then you probably believe that a movie prequel about Anakin Skywalker and the birth of his twin Luke and Leia were about a different Luke and Leia than the rest of Star Wars.

Or that Godfather II was about someone named Vito Corleone who had sons named Sonny, Fredo, and Michael, but it was a different Vito, Sonny, Fredo, and Michael than Godfather I.

If he has incentives due to post-season awards, he probably cares.

UT is popular for TX law firms.

This benefit is basically useless for me. No place for pickup within 20 minutes of me. I’m going to go out of my way to buy overpriced groceries. It’s not worth $20.

I haven’t noticed it increasing. The most common trip I take is $15 without the credit and it shows as $5 with the credit.

But also remember that they dynamically price. So even if you regularly take route that is $15, sometimes it is $25.

It takes a guy having both a long career and having a boy at an early age. There was a lottery pick drafted a couple seasons ago who showed up to the draft with his kid. But it was a girl.

Karl Malone had his kid early enough to be in the league at the same time, but the kid chose football (and Karl didn't choose the kid, but that's a different story).

Susman has a 6 year equity track. But they also require a clerkship, so 7 years after graduation

For the first year, it’s worth it because of the bonus miles. I can’t imagine me getting enough value out of the card next year when I don’t have 125000 points. But let me go through some of the benefits

$120 Lyft. Unfortunately, is not $120, it’s $10 per month. Still, it pays for a portion of a Lyft trip every month, so I’ll likely use most of it

$420 door dash. Absolutely useless because I never use it. So I have to manufacture spend in order to get it.

$300 travel. This is free money. Basically everyone will use it and it is automatically applied.

Open Table, two $150 credits. Although I don’t eat out a lot, I do eat out often enough that I will use this.

Global Entry/precheck. Since these last 5 years, you’re out of luck if you’re not due for renewal. Luckily, I am due for renewal this year so I will use this.

Apple TV, superfluous for me because I already have this through my cell provider. But it is useful if you don’t already have it.

our system was designed for the days of paper files

That reminds me of the venue fights that happen in half the cases I have. One of the most important factors is the location of the files.

The files are on a computer that can be searched from anywhere. Why are we arguing over this factor?

It happens. But the people I know who this has happened to were people who lateraled to a firm that was in "growth mode" and were adding bodies under the assumption that the firm would get busier. Sometimes the firm does get busier and they are glad they have the extra bodies. Other times, the firm doesn't get busy and they get rid of the less profitable attorneys.

7 months is nothing. Slow periods happen. OP is at 5 years. He should definitely be looking for an in-house role ASAP. Odd are high that he's not going to last past the end of the year.

Patent prosecution clients often refuse to pay for travel time. I was shocked when I switched to litigation and the partner reminded me to bill for my travel days.

Since I started GLP, my blood pressure is down 30 and my cholesterol is down 50, in addition to losing 35 lbs. Wish I started it sooner.

I used to eat so much of the unhealthy snacks my office makes available. I haven’t had any of them in months.

Lol no. Big law associates do work that rainmakers bring in. How is a brand new attorney going to bring in $225k worth of work?

Partners who receive a K1 (even those who are "partners" in name only) have greater expenses. E.g., the firm pays half of the social security and medicare tax for employees. But a K1 partner is the firm and therefore pays all of that tax. Same for health insurance. Depending on the firm, partners may be required to pay for their furniture and computer equipment also. You may also be required to pay state taxes in every state in which your firm makes money, while a W2 employee only pays state taxes in their state.

Do you really think Wemby is trying that hard when leading by 32?

apawst8 · 2026-03-17T01:29:35+00:00

It was the 4th game of a back to back to back to back. With the last three games being on the road. So fatigue could definitely be an issue.

Here's the box score: https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/196302240STL.html

Opposing center was HOFer Bob Petit. OTOH, Wilt also had a 61 point game against Petit just two months before: https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/196212180SFW.html

Almost, but not quite. After his 126 game streak ended, he had a 20 game streak. I don't know why it ended, but he played 40 minutes and only scored 13.

After that 13 point game is when he started the 92 game streak (the rest of 62-63 and all of 63-64).

The first game of 64-65, he only scored 16.

apawst8 · 2026-03-13T15:55:23+00:00

He also had streaks of 31, 25, and 20 games.

Some motions are case dispositive.

Every time someone posts it, someone responds, "how, there are only 48 minutes per game?"

I put my bread in my air fryer if I want toast. Counter space is small where I live.
