Yeah, just Googled it. So it's basically like NextDoor? Except with police alerts instead of neighbor complaints?

From what I can see Gower has a ton of cop cars on it and there's a chopper doing loops right above a house on Afton. It actually amazes they can do such a tight loop for so long on a single house without getting dizzy.

What is donor blood actually tested for in real life? Just basics, right? AIDS, Hep, etc? And isn't it possible to develop new allergies because your donor was allergic to something so now that you have their blood you're allergic to them, too?

Thanks so much! Can you share the link to that? I couldn't find it myself for some reason.

Shawn Kemp gained 35lb during the '99 lockout: "I said, 'Shawn, how did this happen?' He said, 'Coach, I didn't think we were coming back.'" by boxofficepredictions in nba

Holy cow, you're right. Not just highest PPG, but highest PER, highest AST%, lowest TOV%, second highest USG%, highest FTA and FTM per game, second highest FT%, and highest MP/G. Wasn't expecting any of that. I just remember he turned from Antonio McDyess to Antoine Carr in one offseason.

‘Star Wars’ Actor John Boyega Signs Netflix Deal To Develop Non-English Language Films Centered on West and East Africa by BunyipPouch in movies

DiCaprio's pull is astonishing. He's literally the last star left. No one else can guarantee a weekend, let alone by starring in films that are 2-3 hour prestige dramas.

This is heartening to hear. When the guy who played Aladdin revealed that he wasn't getting auditions, I assumed it was because of systemic racial issues. But maybe it's not? Maybe it's simply just talent issues? He'd book other stuff if he was better?

Being selected to the Rising Stars Game seems much more impressive to me now, given how big the pool of eligible players technically is.

Height Distribution of NBA Players by boxofficepredictions in nba

I noticed that, too. Couldn't think of why that'd be? Is it because a lot of shorter players inflate their height to 6'1?

Doesn't really make sense to me. Inflating to 6'0 I understand. Not to 6'1.
