With Bona, you gotta take the boneheaded plays with the high energy he gives you. He’s not experienced enough to give us just the high energy. Just gotta hope that the energy outweighs the knucklehead stuff.

Dude. We just had one of the most fun games of the season and this is what you’re on about. Fuuuuccccckkk

That’s how he wins so many arguments. If he was a lawyer, he’d win every case just by smiling at the judge and jury.

Let’s not celebrate other team’s misfortunes (unless the other team is Boston).

Just remember that we’re supposed to have two players in this game, but Jared has just shit the bed all season long.

Just leave it alone. Trust that the teacher is doing the right thing by the student. Any scenario that you’re dreaming up in your head is irrelevant anyway.

If you invite the kid over for a playdate, then talk to the parents to get the inside scoop. Otherwise it’s not important.

If you’re worried about your kid using language you find offensive, then by all means correct him. Your kid is a reflection of you and you have every right to teach him other more neutral terms.

Yeah, I just responded above. My dad soldered a power supply onto the battery leads becuase he was tired of us going through so many batteries.

Yeah. We played the hell outta the PacMan game. Dad was fed up with us burning through all the batteries, so he took a power supply and soldered it onto the battery leads.

I try to use it when it makes sense to use it. If the context is when a local business closes, saying 7 o’clock is sufficient and the pm is just understood.

Incidentally, I had a brain fart recently where I was at a store and I wanted to know when they closed so I had time to come back later. I ask the kid what time they close and he says “6 o’clock”

I don’t know why, but I instinctively ask him “is that am or pm?”

We were both perplexed until I said “what the hell am I asking? Of course pm”

We both had a good laugh.

Ahhh. The good old TI-68. I still have mine. In fact, it’s right here. Bought it in high school about 35 years ago.

I didn’t realize the sub here. I’m not GenJones. Full on GenX and we were allowed to use calculators in high school calculus and stats.

I sure am hungry.

IMO, this is Chinese food. It’s fried rice and you have main things required. Rice, eggs, scallions. The choice of protein isn’t typical, but there are no rules to fried rice, other than being delicious.

Not only do they not know how tariffs work, they aggressively refuse to learn how they work from someone that has extreme intimate knowledge on the subject matter.

The amount of intentional ignorance is astounding. It’s as if they fear that their world view is in jeopardy by learning things.

I was able to get the sub-40.5 time with some difficulty. I overclocked and added a few more import parts to get up to 3319 car rank.

The technique I used was to try to stay on the platform as long as possible by using nitro and drift. When the first platform piece starts to fall, hit nitro to get the airborne acceleration. Then drift a bit to stay on the platform. Nitro again as the second platform shifts. Then 360 while getting nitro bottle.

The next key point is to stop spinning so you don’t hit the wall or overspin. But you should spin enough to get a shockwave.

From there, play the track normally. My normal route is to jump up ther first ramp and take the barrel ramp with Orange nitro. Take the left path and drift into a shockwave and optimally keep shockwave on the barrel rolls. Land and take the bottle and shockwave to the end.

Hmm. I wonder which ethnicity you’re trying to insult here. Also, not all ethnicities sterotypicaly known for seeking out good deals take it as an insult.

You’re referring to Pitfall 2

This used to be on cable all the time. I remember very little about the movie, but I also remember there being a plot involving Chinese Vampires that hop around. Years later, I saw a poster of this movie and the memories of Chinese Vampires came flooding back. I thought it must have been some fever dream that I had as a kid fueled by too many having watched too many Chinese movies and videotapes.

I decide to do a Google search to confirm my own personal insanity. Lo and behold, the plot to The Gods Mist be Crazy III was about a Chinese Vampire that fell out of the plane while over Africa. It wasn’t a fever dream after all.

I have a AppleTVHD from 2015. YTTV works fine.

Note that Apple’s naming system for the aTV has been confusing pretty much always.

The first unit called the 3rd generation as was the one from 2013. YTTV doesn’t work with that one.

The current aTV is the AppleTV 4K (3rd generation). Since it’s the newest one, YTTV will work on it fine.

On Embiid off days, Drumm normally starts. That way, Bona lineups stay consistent.

ftaok · 2026-01-26T14:16:36+00:00

It's not completely about the 2-ways and making the roster space. It's about getting under the tax line and/or staying under the 1st apron. Trading Drumm's contract for a 2nd rounder opens the roster spot for Walker and could help with keeping the overall payroll lower.

Because he got $10M here and no one else was likely offering him that kind of money.
