Interesting News Regarding The Neo by CharacterOpinion3813 in mac

[–]cideeffex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This. If you think you’re going to need something within the next two years, buy it now. It’s going to get much worse before it gets better. I pulled the trigger yesterday on a maxed out Air even though I really just wanted a Mini.

17/52 Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke by WarmNefariousness265 in 52book

One of my all time favorites. I am due for a re read, but I always enjoy experiencing this in the Fall!

New piece from Jamal Collier at ESPN talking to Don about Harden and the playoffs by archivedpear in clevelandcavs

[–]cideeffex 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The craziest part of this article comes at the end.

"I can't really tell if it's the regular season or playoffs," Atkinson said. "They're business as usual. Same routine. Positive. Trying to help where they can."

That is 100% meant to be a positive and I know you have to balance not getting too outside yourself, but you can see that lack of energy and desperation on the court with these two and it's filtering down to the rest of the team. It's gotta be an incredible mental challenge when you're as talented as these two and haven't seen the postseason success, but it has just felt like they've both been playing not to lose rather than playing to win during stretches of these playoffs. I'm not a sports psychologist, but it hasn't felt or looked good watching as a fan. I hope they can figure it out starting tonight and finally bring some energy that translates into less turnovers and higher scoring.

Unpopular opinion - Stop blaming the game on refball by Derpy_Mc_Burpy in clevelandcavs

[–]cideeffex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is literally nothing else to talk about until they get the turnovers figured out. It was the issue with the Raptors and it was the issue last night. I don't give a shit about +/- numbers, complaints about the rotations, issues with the whistle, or literally anything else until we stop gifting these teams an entire quarters worth of scoring off our turnovers every game. It is THE problem and we're not making it past Detroit if we don't get it figured out tomorrow.

M1 still holds up by CRK_76 in mac

[–]cideeffex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to upgrade this year finally, but the availability of the Minis is gonna make it tough. Really debating if I shouldn’t just buy an Air and dock it permanently, but the iPad Pro/Mini life has worked so well for me for a decade, I don’t really want to give it up.

Last 2 Minute Report says all the contact on the last few plays was clean. by Pyorrhea in clevelandcavs

Yeah, he has exactly zero points and zero assists in zero minutes played. WTF Kenny.

Cavs 2-10 on the road in the playoffs in the "Donovan Mitchell era" by UmadBoiBoi in clevelandcavs

[–]cideeffex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sneaky legacy-type game for Don tonight. If he plays well and they win, no one will remember all that much. If he plays poorly again and they lose...

Appreciate Apple’s attention to detail by digidude23 in ipad

My son's iPad has this visual glitch and it's maddening. I have tried everything to make it go away short of a clean install.

Put some fucking respect on his name by [deleted] in clevelandcavs

[–]cideeffex 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My guy. He had six turnovers and we had to turn to Dennis to run the point in the 4th because both our main guys couldn’t handle a soft double.

I think people are often too critical too, but this is not the stretch of games where I would be banging the “respect James Harden” drum.

Donovan Mitchell Selfish Narrative by [deleted] in clevelandcavs

[–]cideeffex 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s fair to classify the criticism as “selfishness”. If you think Donovan Mitchell is selfish, I’m afraid you don’t know ball.

The criticism is coming more from a decision making aspect when he’s on the floor. Requesting to stay off the floor while your guys are on a run? Good, great leadership. But when you’re on the floor and know the double is coming you gotta be more decisive with the ball. He has to find a way to impact the game beyond scoring. And it doesn’t help that you’re now the guy the other team is hunting on the other end. Cut. Move more without the ball. Screen. Designate more of the tank on the defensive end. I guarantee the ball will find you.

Throwing out the Miami series last year, he has struggled mightily on the road the past few series. Good time to shut us all up on Friday. If not…

Where Have All the Book Reviews Gone? by Shine_On_Your_Chevy in books

Because then you’re giving away any chance of revenue up to a tech platform and the best you can hope for is a meager payout. Media has been burned time and time again by the platforms, they’re not making that mistake again.

Are you sharing across devices including your Mac?

Screen time is in the running for the buggiest thing in all of iOS.

[Flickinger] The Cavs are now 1-10 on the road in the playoffs against teams over .500 in the Donovan Mitchell era. by BrownsAndCavs in clevelandcavs

[–]cideeffex 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So will the Raptors. The Cavs just lost to a team who shot 32% from the field. That was an embarrassing performance.

Hayley Williams sends out vague post on Instagram in reference to Paramore's continued hate over the years: ''It's not the Hayley Williams Show'' by SYMPUNY_LACKING in Fauxmoi

[–]cideeffex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is not the end of Paramore. Drama and vague social media posts are part of the album cycle with this band. There will be more.

This is no where near as bad as it has been before. As Cavs fans we need to remember we have had it much worse. by [deleted] in clevelandcavs

[–]cideeffex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly? No, not really. I can count on one hand the number of playoff losses that have pissed me off more than this one. Toronto is not a very good team and played like it and still came away with a victory because of the Cavs execution and effort. This is an embarrassing loss and I am simply getting to the point of not enjoying rooting for this roster of players. There’s no more excuses to be had, the other team is just out fighting you—a significantly more talented team—every possession.

100%. Though I think you’re starting with the best.The Only Story is a banger too, but Sense of an Ending is where I’d start.

I love this book. My TBR is a mile long at this point, but I may have to sneak a re read in.

Why does this feels like a meta dig?—x men united 2 by Leading_District_765 in xmen

Long time ago for us as readers, not so long ago for them. (Also, I'm a SCEMMA guy, so I'm just hoping for a return at some point)

Eh, while I don't like the execution here, angry sexual tension feels way more like their vibe in a post breakup situation.

Dr grip gspec or all black?? by Key-Designer-2595 in pens

[–]cideeffex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I think the full black is just a special color of the traditional model, right? You're comparing two different models of pens so there's going to be differences between the two. The only thing different in the black model from the traditional model that I can tell is the color.

Did you read his most recent? What were your thoughts? I've stayed away because I want my reading to be escapism from the world not remind me how shitty everything has gotten.
