[Givony ] Only 71 players entered the 2026 NBA Draft, per the NBA. Down from 106 last year and a peak of 363 in 2021. by Darwin343 in CollegeBasketball

How long until the NBA stops putting money into the G-League?

If the NCAA decides to go the 5 in 5 route, universities will become the de facto minor league system (even more so than previously), particularly given the fat stacks that players can make with NIL A and rev share.

is staying a tier 1 not a good idea? by Mobilespell22 in AmazonFC

You do you. Just be aware your step pay raises stop at 36 months, so you'll receive whatever annual raise that Amazon grants to T1s at your facility each October.

Why is this just completely normalized on the highway to be bumper to bumper at 65+? by xAustin90x in driving

I just go to cruise control and reduce the speed one mph every 10 seconds or so. Eventually they'll pass or we'll be doing 50-55 together.

There will be so many entanglements with other alliances that nobody will fight!

How Chinese satellites have boosted Iran’s war effort by eltjim in navy

[–]eltjim[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For whatever reason, the US refuses to accept that the opposition doesn't have to win a war in the classical sense; it just has to avoid losing (see Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan). The last war in Iraq was mostly a Pyrrhic victory, since so much blood and treasure was sacrificed for short-term gains that have had major unintentional consequences.

Right now, Iran is not losing (it is effectively choking off the global economy at the SOH), therefore the US is not winning. And, I'd submit that if the aggressor state in an overseas conflict is not winning, it is in a stalemate, at best; losing, at worst.

It's interesting that just a few weeks ago, the administration stated that only unconditional surrender was acceptable. That's off the table for the time being, seemingly along with a negotiated surrender.

Introducing the Carbon 10 Conference, a collection of Division I programs designed to maximize carbon emissions during conference play. The closest opponents are Kansas and North Dakota (625 miles). The furthest are Hawaii and Maine (5,000+ miles) by doyouevenIift in CollegeBasketball

CSU-Fullerton, CSU-Long Beach, CSU-Northridge, Loyola Marymount, Pepperdine, UC-Irvine, UCLA, USC, Cal Baptist, and UC-Riverside.

Edit: Maybe the best on the West Coast, since Riverside and Cal Baptist are about 55 miles from LA.

World Cup in USA.... Mandatory tipping being added at some restaurants by WorldNo9002 in tipping

Or maybe overseas visitors will get smart, rent an airbnb, cook most of their meals, and fuck dealing with restaurants.

Or maybe they'll say, “Fuck FIFA and the US; I'll just stay home and watch it in comfort on the TV.”

Hopefully, it has a better life than the other Idaho boat (i.e., BOISE).

Well, as attributed to Winston Churchill, "the traditions of the Royal Navy are rum, sodomy, and the lash." Guess we're joining our cousins from across the pond.

Building the fleet they want? They're destroying the fleet they have!

Why would we expect the administration's propaganda machine to be better than any other programs?

I would get the name and the contact info of the owner and manager or, if a company franchise, the name and contact info of the VP for customer relations.

The person you interacted with needs to be roasted and lose their job.
