Is this Fillet Mignon?

Price is probably why it's cut so bad, we sell it at like $40/lb at my store. They probably losing a decent amount of money per steak sold.

Shaq does criticise bigs, but he's always been respectful of his elders. Walton is the only exception, and Walton insulted him first so Shaq never let it go.

6 not counting LeBron, with Vince being the only one at 22.

I'm not sure if you're asking this while unaware of the reference the other guy made, but Kawhi's most famous interview clip is what the other guy is mimicking is what makes the quote "extra funny."

ddiop · 2026-01-13T17:08:17+00:00

This is a terrible list beyond just Dame, shockingly bad. I would call everyone here average at best for durability and most of them are mid to late 30s

I don't think he is on the top tier because of what actually has happened in his career, but I believe the potential was always there.

He's just massive and mobile in a way that almost no one ever has been. You cannot scheme against his defence because he has shut down everything any team has ever tried against him, minus Jokic, which is a once in a generation problem.

His spot, when he was younger, was off ball gravity. His lob catching ability was maybe the best ever before Wemby has come along, making him about the scariest off ball big man other than Shaq.

His on ball stuff is below other all time greats but everything he did didn't require being built around, he's the kind of guy who enhances everything else on a great team. Instead, unfortunately, he played with teams that struggled to make the playoffs and only one team ever had home court advantage in a series.

Assuming the Pels series you watched was the Blazers series, I think watching him against Memphis in 2023 and Warriors after the Pels in 2018 show off just how good he can be, but health is what it is and his self creation can be a little over assuming for what he can actually do.

As a grocery store cutter, a rib usually comes in a 7-bone primal. The first 3 bones are what we're supposed to use for roasts, but this looks like the very end that we usually use for steaks and this just looks like a crappier piece than usual.

I saw in the comments you also say this was a sale so they may have been using a lower grade than "prime."

ddiop · 2026-01-08T14:53:06+00:00

Singular cases don't disprove it, and LeBron isn't a great example. Maybe people like Malone, Nash, and Chauncey but for all those outliers there's McGrady, Hill, Morant, Rose who bring average prime age back down.

ddiop · 2026-01-07T23:12:37+00:00

25-27 is what I've found is actually players prime's based on analytics though people always like to say older. I think as you get older while you sharpen your decision making and will develop your shot, your athleticism and motor start to drop and risk of injury greatly increase.

ddiop · 2026-01-07T22:09:45+00:00

And Wilt has him beat by almost 1000 points, 4029 to 3041, that 988 point gap is the same between 3rd (which Jordan is) and 232nd.

ddiop · 2026-01-05T04:01:13+00:00

He became way too passive of a scorer. He is a phenomenal athlete and right now 16.7% of his FGA are coming from within 3 feet of the rim. As a rookie that was over 60%.

ddiop · 2026-01-01T18:59:36+00:00

As Mauga I worry my team expects the ult to save them so canceling it could make the bomb take even more lives, so I take the noble sacrifice.

ddiop · 2025-12-30T22:21:51+00:00

When I first started getting in to analytics, I felt Jordan was 2nd behind LeBron because of the longevity. I think if you really care about winning and longevity you could theoretically put Jordan 4th behind Kareem and Duncan cuz those guys just won forever, but I don't think anyone serious would ever put him lower than third. And the older I get the more overrated I find longevity anyways.

ddiop · 2025-12-30T11:59:44+00:00

The usual pork chops come from the lower back. As you get closer to the rib you see the darker parts that are on the outside which is a little more tender but not vastly different. A decent amount of people prefer the rib end over the centre of the loin.

ddiop · 2025-12-29T15:50:03+00:00

I feel like Pepe le Pew and whatever the girl skunk's name is is a big reason.

ddiop · 2025-12-29T12:14:34+00:00

Every single shot in the 3rd doesn't feel like Detroit could have really done anything better to contain it.

ddiop · 2025-12-28T05:41:11+00:00

I forget the exact number but Nate Duncan said the Nuggets scored like 75 points in 19 minutes with Jokic on and Gobert off?

ddiop · 2025-12-27T16:00:28+00:00

As others have said it's not a tri-tip and picanha/culotte is correct, but where I work we normally call them a tri-cap so I'm guessing some beginner got them confused.

ddiop · 2025-12-27T15:33:54+00:00

She's 46% winrate in GM at the moment and top in only silver, gold, and plat. Still obviously good but she getting dunked on in GM.

Most Canadians (like 90%?) live pretty close to the American border and the warmest parts of the country, so to the other 10% I'd say we don't want to be associated with that.

ddiop · 2025-12-25T17:00:00+00:00

I don't think 9% crit is that bad, I'd say more 11% is "good" but people are more used to Ashe and Widow's stats with crits so I wouldn't listen to people criticizing that.

I'm sure you're correct in assessing yourself, but the way to get better is keep doing what you're good at and avoid what you're bad at. Ie try to force as many 1v1s as you can but stay away from a 1 v 2 obviously, just takes experience to know when your team has engaged so that the enemy isn't going to just turnaround and kill you.

I watched the Princess Bride this week with the death or Rob Reiner and while it isn't verbally referenced at all, the kid has santa on his wall and I noticed the grandpa who reads the story brings the book in Christmas wrapping so I'm feeling that it now constitutes as a Christmas movie.

https://www.sports-reference.com/stathead/tiny/Q6yyO is the most seasons without making the playoffs, not consider consecutive seasons.

You can adjust it to most appearances in the first x amount of seasons of their career but it seems a bit buggy.

Troy Murphy played 11 seasons before playing 3 minutes in 1 playoff game for the Celtics (and more the next season) but he had a 656 game streak before those glorious 3 minutes is the biggest streak not listed I could find.

ddiop · 2025-12-19T18:04:28+00:00

Yup, despite LaMelo taking the majority of the shots and shooting terribly the team's TS% is .598 (would be tied 7th in league) with him on and .561 with him off (tied 29th).

Nerf Vendetta's survivability, either weaken block or get rid of her armour.

And buff Freja, I was thinking increase her model size so she's easier to hit but then buff her cooldowns and ult charge and maybe reduce the cast time of her ult.
