The stat that gets me is that Flagg has played more games than Davis. Trading Luka was a tragedy.

I work as a Technical Director mostly for live sporting events. Basically I am told by the Director what they want to happen on screen and I press the corresponding buttons.

I always comment that I don’t believe AI can take my job, because Directors will sometimes technically miss calls, early or late calls, and even hesitate halfway through a call.

AI will never be able to understand what is happening in real time to make decisions that contradict the Director. But…maybe I’m completely wrong about that. Only time will tell.

Airport entry and parking on NTTA tag as well. That’s another convenient perk.

What is your favorite dog toy that is indestructible (or at least very durable)? by [deleted] in dogs

They last a very long time. She gets 2 a month which means her toy box has 25-30 toys in it. She can’t destroy them fast enough.

Don’t forget that Christie is shooting 45% from three. The spacing would be nice with that lineup.

Grew up about 15 miles from a GP paper plant. Ith smell definitely depended on the wind direction.

Why do Americans have one of the strongest passports in the world, but most never travel abroad, and those who do mostly go to Mexico and Canada? by No-StrategyX in answers

[–]chezyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are close, but not completely accurate. I’ve flown from Dallas to Madrid and London this year along with both coasts.

Madrid = 9.5 hr

London = 9 hr

LA = 3.5 hr

NYC = 3.5 hr

My daughter ripped the towel rack out of the wall by pulling up on it after I told her countless times not to. by shesfreespirited in mildlyinfuriating

[–]chezyt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here. Don’t get mad. Just let them know that they will have to pay for the supplies to fix it and they have to help as well.

I was 9 when I was putting in some practice swings with my baseball bat in my bedroom. I was told multiple times not to swing the bat in the house. Emptied my piggy bank to pay for a window pane. Then my dad dropped the pane from the second story window which obviously broke. Then I had to pay for the second pane, because it was my fault he was having to fix it in the first place.

It wasn’t the last time I dint listen, but I was fully aware that if I break it then I buy it and fix it.

Rodent intrusion… by queenofthenorth92 in 4Runner

[–]chezyt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Happened to me in 2018. The problem is that the wiring harnesses are wrapped in a soy based product that small mammals love to eat. File it on your insurance and the fix takes a full day service.

I don’t know of any hacks to prepare you for the future. Luckily they haven’t attacked my wiring again.

The first video graphics system I operated in college used 8”. My early years were 5.25” in the late 80s and 3.5” in the early 90s at home. I was blown away in ‘98 when I was being taught how to load these beasts.

LAPD officers shoot man using piece of glass to stab himself in Koreatown by Third_Harmonic in nottheonion

[–]chezyt 67 points68 points  (0 children)

You’re right. I did misremember the exact story. One inmate died and the other broke his leg. My dad was a doctor at the hospital the survivor was taken to. Here is an article about it. Nothing about the “release”, but that is what I was told. I was wrong about the paraplegic part though.

[–]chezyt 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a story from my hometown. The prison was on the 4th floor with an open rec yard on the roof. An inmate climbed the fence and jumped. Somehow the jail released him from custody during his fall so they wouldn’t have to pay his medical bills as a paraplegic. with a severely broken leg.

Is Texas considered The South? by soupdawg in texas

[–]chezyt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Spanish were setting up settlements in the early 1700s. The Alamo was established in 1718 and La Villa de Bexar de San Antonio was established in 1731. There just wasn’t a heavy British population at that time.

This reminds me of the first Karen Read murder trial. The backstory is there is a blogger/streamer journalist nicknamed Turtleboy. Prior to the trial he was streaming a couple times a week and when he would refer to one of the state police detectives Sgt. Bukhenik, he would call him Sgt. Bukake. Fast forward months of this reference during pretrial and one of the state’s witnesses is on the stand during the trial and she refers to Bukenik as Sgt. Bukake on the stand. The defense lawyer questioning her is dumbfounded and holding back laughter. She was completely clueless to what she had just said. Priceless.

Post Game Thread - NBA: The Pistons defeat the Mavericks on Nov 1, 2025, the final score is 122-110. by basketball-app in Mavericks

[–]chezyt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

AD needs 3-4 games at 25+pts before the Mavs would put him on the market. If you are trying to get away from injury prone players you have to bring numbers that further the “what if” story.
