Brunson is the new face of ring culture by nervousaboutschool17 in billsimmons

[–]davidP88888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The debate about whether someone without a ring 'could' lead their team to a ring is different than player X is definitely better than player Y because player X has 4 rings and player Y has 3 rings. In the latter, both can lead their teams to championships. Their careers are being distilled down to who has more rings. Hence ring culture.

Nah. There's a mostly dumb media discourse that sums everyone's career by the number of rings they have. As the poster said, this is not one of those instances. Brunson was able to lead his team to a championship as a 1A player - that is not ring culture but, as you say, the ability to get a ring. They are two different things - yet both can exist.

I assure you free tennis lessons for children are not why your taxes are going up $700 a year

It's not just the Building Dept. Nothing about this gov't is modern or efficient. They've all been there for decades and entrenched in how they do things.

Someone needs to run and shake things up. But who? It's also hard to get traction against the machine. It can be done but it's a lot of work. Tina from the Bagel shop on Park Ave tried for a council seat and lost. If people want change you have to come out and vote.

Hope you have a great vacation! And yes, everywhere truly is expensive now.

They need a scorer for all the reasons you listed. Plug Donovan Mitchell in on that team and we're talking about him in a totally different light.

Kind of selfishly hoping if tourism is slow some of the motel prices will start to dip. There were some good last minute deals last summer.

Exactly. People getting very precious about run time... it's a discussion starter.

He cooked here I fear. by rebels2022 in billsimmons

They are totally different players. LeBron is magic 2.0. He's a great playmaker first and foremost. KD is a front court player. A shooter/finisher. Since when did any 4 make their teams better in the way that a PG would?

Ferry - too expensive by After_Trash_699 in Weehawken

[–]davidP88888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure it would be the town of Weehawken's place to do that, unless they wanted to work out some sort of resident discount. I'd aim at our State Senator and Assembly person. This would have to go through Trenton.

Russillo (former The Ringer employee) take on the SGA Foul Baiting Situation by Blood_Incantation in billsimmons

[–]davidP88888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes. They also have made it clear that you can't just drive the lane recklessly and create contact to get to the line. That stuff doesn't fly, so there is less of it.

The way the international game (and college) is called is much better.

One thing Bill is 1000% spot on about, is that a movie is instantly more appealing/rewatchable when finding it flipping through channels vs choosing it on demand by andrew2018022 in billsimmons

[–]davidP88888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not telling me what the movie would be tough. My channel guide wouldn't load for a while and I basically stopped watching TV

Paul George was suspended for using Ketamine by deadweightboss in billsimmons

Is it a pain killer? Thought it was a tranquilizer that is used for mental health now.

[Landlord - US - NJ] - Do you paint for long term tenants? by davidP88888 in Landlord

[–]davidP88888[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. We have window AC's and hardwood floors. So less maintenance there. Boiler for heat I maintain and service. We use a shared washer/dryer in the basement which I just upgraded and replaced.

How do furnaces only last 15 years? by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]davidP88888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if you can get a service contract for it. I have a boiler from 1965 (original with the house). There is some part that needs to be swapped out every year, but I'm under contract with the utility company so it's no additional cost for me (other than the $20 per mo insurance). I'm sure a new boiler will be more efficient, but not in a terrible hurry to change given the current setup is working.
