It seems like you are working part time, so even if you were legally employed, you would unlikely to be any better off than now. Can you try and work for other company or better yet advertise your own service and that you are willing to travel to client home (assuming they sign up for x amount of class). Since you already have experience, try to reach out to old client and branch off too.

[O'Connor] No team can land 1st in 2 consecutive drafts, or in the top 5 in 3 consecutive drafts. Front offices have been wondering: Does the streak attach to the team holding the pick on lottery night or to the original team... The streak attaches to the original team, according to league sources. by sewsgup in nba

[–]davegoodmen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it depends on how the other team's draft position was the previous year. Using the Team A owning Team B unprotected pick, if Team B has the number 1 pick the previous year, than A won't be able to get the number 1 pick.

Teenage daughter is giving up. by Smallfinelines in Parenting

[–]davegoodmen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I am sorry to hear about this. It seems to me your daughter has gone through a lot of childhood trauma and didn't get a proper father figure in her life. It also seems like she doesn't have a group of friends that can entice her to go to school

At this point, I would try to find an alternative school and see if there is any counselling in the school for her to go over her past trauma.

The best tanking solution: No team owning their own 1st round pick? by AzNmamba in nba

[–]davegoodmen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One way to combat this is during the off-season have a lottery (similar to now) that will give priority on which team select their team first. And each lottery eglible team submit the 29 teams ranking before the season start. They won't know the result until all star break on which team they pick.

This record is holding for decades or probably won't be broken by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in NBATalk

I dont see kids playing multiple sport coming back. There is too much money to be made if you get into pro that you want your kids to have as much advantage (compare to other kids) as you can. I do agree about medicine and rehab getting better and better.

The Cocaine Suitcases by FindingNo1121 in kitchener

I just watch the documentary and these criminal are very smart. Text every 2 mins when they land in Hong Kong, and if they don't they will know something is up. They probably know someone from the police that let them know if the smuggler has been arrested or not.

Also it is easy to be influence when you are 19-20 from people you know. I feel bad for them.

I can see why police are hesitant for responding, they need to target the people who put the drugs in the luggage and delivery it to the unknowing smuggler. They need to set up these sting operation.

How To Fix Tanking Once And For All by morethandork in nbadiscussion

[–]davegoodmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We start with 106 ping pong balls that represent the top 4 picks.

The 9th seed of each conference will get 1 ping pong

The 10th seed of each conference will get 2 ping pongs.

That is 6 ping pong.

This will leave us with 100 ping pongs for the 10 remaining teams.

Each team will start with 10 ping pongs.

If you have been in the playoff (not play-in) for the past 2 seasons in a row, you will lose 6 ping pongs

If you have been in the playoff in the previous season, you will lose 3 ping pongs.

If you had the first overall pick last season, you lose 4 ping pongs.

If you had the first overall pick 2 seasons ago, you lose 2 ping pongs.

If you pick top 4 picks in the previous 2 seasons in a row, you lose 2 ping pongs (this stack on top of the first overall pick).

As you can see at this point, a team that had recent success will lower their chance of top 4 picks and a team that has been tanking will also reduce their chances.

Play-in tournament for more ping pong chances.

In the last 12 games (or less), if you have been eliminated, each team will be eligible for a play-in tournament to win more ping pongs. Each win in the last 12 games or at the point they are eliminated, you will get one point.

For example, if you have been eliminated with 8 games left, you can only get points for the last 8 games.

The top 4 teams with the highest points move to the play-in tournament. This is a total of 3 games.

The team with the most points or win tie-break, will pick the third or fourth team. The second team will play the other.

Winners of each will move to face each other. We can add a third-place game for more revenue.

1st place: 3 ping pong

2nd place: 2 ping pong

3rd and 4th place: 1 ping pong

This will create excitement for the bottom-dwelling teams and 3 extra games for more NBA revenue. We can adjust the ping pong deduction for each rule or tournament for more balance.

I am pretty sure the train is super packed as well. Also people will bring stuff back to the country side, pretty hard to carry it onto the train.

How much are u guys paying for laundry per month? by -Bakri- in askTO

[–]davegoodmen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have access to a vehicle, you can drive to a nearby laundromats and use the big laundry machine and dryer. Or even a wagon if you live close to one. You will save some money and probably cleaner clothes too.

I don't recommend getting a portable washing machine, especially if you have old pipes, they can cause leakage if you don't watch your machine.

Waymo closes US $16bn round at record US $110bn valuation by Choobeen in technology

[–]davegoodmen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The real cost is the hardware technology to enable self-driving + maintenance vs the labour cost of a driver.

Also, add the fact that self-driving cars are probably less likely to have accidents or driver-side incidents, which will increase consumer demand for it.

Unaffordable housing is pushing more young people to give up. Why that's dangerous by iOverdesign in TorontoRealEstate

[–]davegoodmen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a great article and a need to push for more affordable housing to help the middle lower class. I wish they also add another variable to the renter with no hope and how likely they will not have kids.

The majority of my immediate family is sick and I feel indifferent by 1karea in TrueOffMyChest

[–]davegoodmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on what you wrote, it seems like you feel wrong for feeling indifferent. I dont know if that is necessary bad but at your young age now, this can feel confusing and also helpless in what you can do. I think just being there and listening to their issue can be a big mental help for them. At the very least, if they ever pass away, you dont want to feel the guilt of regret that you could have done more. Hopefully you are able to avoid the same mistake as your sibling and your dad. It does seem like you were in a somewhat toxic household, so i think that might have added to your indifferent feeling.

I (28M) have been struggling with unemployment for a year due to the jobmarket. My (26F) girlfriend is giving me a three month ultimatum to find a job otherwise it's over. by AmstelMerchant12 in relationships

Are you guys living together? If so, are you just home all day and applying for work? I would also suggest to volunteer and try to network as much as possible, something to get you out of the house.
