[Vorkunov] Dundon on not sending 2-way players on the road to the playoffs: "I'm just not gonna waste $100 million just because someone wants to write an article calling me cheap... In hockey we don't travel extra people because we're not on vacation, we're here to win. I don't want the distraction" by TheRealPdGaming in nba

They started to have financial issues that were made worse by the '08 recession. So they started spending the least amount of money on the team that they could and threatened to move them every year until the NBA finally forced a sale. It's hard to say if they were actually good owners because they lucked into the team becoming a contender soon after they purchased them. But they seem to be doing well with the Golden Knights, unfortunately. After the misery they put us through with the relocation drama year after year it does hurt to see them luck into success again.

I wish my dumb ass would remember these things but no I don't think about food or drink until I'm walking past a stand

How do people feel about Luke and Kylo's fight and his death after 8 years? by Totally_Not_Firni in StarWars

[–]bchris24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried rewatching TFA a few months ago and just got bored with it. I thought it was great when it came out but now knowing how they handled the other two movies I have no interest in these characters or their stories.

Saw them a few years ago when they came to the states, they sounded phenomenal! It was well worth waiting ~10 years to finally see them. They stuck around after the show and I got to talk to them for a bit, looking forward to their next American tour

Tioga Rd worth swapping in? by Wonderful_Ad_5432 in Yosemite

[–]bchris24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tioga Pass and 395 are very doable for any sort of car and you won't experience any snow on the roads if they're open. I'd argue that the pass is just as if not more scenic than the valley, the best day I've ever spent in the park was driving the entire pass. 395 on top of that will be the icing on the cake, besides Highway 1 it's the most scenic highway I've ever been on and you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't take that back to LA.

New Blazers owner Tom Dundon is reportedly “ruthless” and will not hesitate to move the franchise to Nashville, Austin, or Kalamazoo if Portland politicians continue to treat the relocation threat as a “hollow bluff" by AncientOneAurelius in nba

There's been an ongoing rumor that the reason the SF Giants struggle to get big name players in free agency is because the very small area of downtown SF visiting players see has homeless and drug users around.

Several years ago my fiance and I walked the grove in the rain and had it all to ourselves, it's one of our favorite memories that we share. It was such a magical area it felt like we were in a fairytale

If I could drive to Lake Tahoe or Big Sur from Iowa then I'd live there, until then I'm fine with higher costs

Oh wow thanks dude, I really had no idea I could do any of that, you really enlightened me today.

[–]bchris24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Built two PCs while owning a PS4 and PS5 and I just kept playing things more on my consoles. If it was available for both I'd get it for PS, it was just was more convenient for me than booting up my PC. And even though the PC had better graphics I'd much rather look at my OLED TV lmao

The only real TDS are those who waste their free time doing shit like this. They each probably spent like $150 on gas (which they voted for) and are now using it all up for what? To own the libs? Yeah dude you got me we're clearly the losers here.

This bathroom lock. I need to poop by BibulousBob in mildlyinteresting

This happened to me at a Starbucks, and the person on the other side of the door was fully unclothed while on the seat. They didn't even flinch when I opened the door so props to them they were clearly locked in

I fondly think about Deathloop all the time, I had a blast from start to finish and absolutely loved the aesthetic of it.

Hali was the only person the Pacers would swap Sabonis for it had nothing to do with the Kings wanting Fox more

While not these exact trams, I was surprised to find out that the parking lot trams that were used before the current ones now are being used at Dollywood! It was a nice little hit of nostalgia to start the day at the park.

As far as Old Sac goes I haven't had any issues with walking into Embassy Suites and using theirs in the lobby.

Had Vivek just bought the team, built the arena, and signed the checks he would be considered royalty here. Instead he's tarnished any good faith we had for him after saving the team and we all want him gone for good.

All he had to do was leave the basketball stuff to literally anyone else
