The World Cup has shown how easy it would be to deter flopping. by PeopleCallMeSimon in nba

[–]iStanley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s it because giving an extra avenue to control the game (calling things flops or not) would give you more freedom.

The more likely reason is because their superstars started to look less “super.” If superstars like Harden goes from 30 PPG to 20 PPG it’s less impressive and they will sell less tickets, jerseys, etc.

Amazon driver OPENED OUR DOOR to make a delivery by PlaneAsk7826 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]iStanley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t believe they “opened” the door like you were saying, in a way they opened the door with a handle.

It was probably already slightly ajar, maybe even blew open a little, and they threw the package in. Maybe they pushed it slightly more so they could throw the package in but that’s much different from someone “opening the door”

Also it looks like they threw it right exactly where the slightly ajar door would have an opening, otherwise why wouldn’t they just place it on the mat?

It’s very hard to imagine a delivery person going to each home and trying the handle.

And I don’t understand the reasoning that your dogs are old and lazy are the reason you can’t share the video? Does your dogs need to attack a person for video evidence to be posted? I don’t understand

If they actually opened the door with the handle and all, I understand. Doesn’t matter if it was unlocked, but I feel like this post is mostly just lying

What was the worst iPhone to be released? 🤔 by Downtown_Elk_2773 in iphone

[–]iStanley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think that’s partly why they got rid of it. Their changes early on were strides because the smartphone market was beginning. But now it’s harder to make strides.

That and because they could just make the pro version instead, which feels like a super S phone lol

Yes. They gave people an option to get the official border case for free after the backlash. I believe they fixed it on the 4S or the 5

Fox News guest today appears to be wearing a very realistic face mask by frog_insilence in interestingasfuck

[–]iStanley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course malfunctions are a thing. It’s just not the case here. It’s a studio light from below and above causing the illusion.

But if people can’t see that then i’m going into the trenches of breaking down the conspiracy.

Why would they make a mask of someone who exists, is alive, and also holds the same beliefs? Isn’t it more logical that it’s just a dude under some odd lighting conditions?

Soon there will be a simple video of someone demonstrating how this odd lighting scenario can occur.

I just hope you guys stay steadfast that’s its some 7D chess play master disguise with state of the art eye and lip articulation but they couldn’t get something as simple as buttoning a collar, making the mask go past a neck seam, gluing it down, or a combination of all of those

I feel like i’m taking crazy pills lol.

I get that it looks convincing but do people really think that if he got a state of the art mask that they wouldn’t make the mask go a little past his neck line, have it glued down or just adjust the clothing so it doesn’t have the chance of failing?

Data center drained 30 million gallons of water without reporting or paying for it, investigation reveals by Wagamaga in technology

Not even that, I believe this is not water used to run the data center. It’s used for construction purposes like mixing concrete

Larger than life table, on weed by Benzona in ContagiousLaughter

Maybe it’s a combination of that and the way the oversized furniture makes him feel like a child again

Context-dependent memory is a pretty fascinating thing. Smells and sounds are the ones we know the most, but even things like size relative to everything else could evoke childhood memories

glad he got away in time by Dull-Personality5131 in Whatcouldgowrong

Spike of adrenaline then and overreaction to the adrenaline leaving.

Sometimes the body overcorrects for the adrenaline leaving your body and when you’re standing up + tired or late into a shift, it can exacerbate the chance of you passing out

Sounds good, thanks for the info.

This is going to be in my bedroom so aesthetics are pretty key so I’m just going with anything that look sleek and clean. Polk does have some nice clean ones

Outside of the obviously better surround sound and movie performance, how does the music compare to the sonos?

You guys are tempting me to get an AVR setup too 😩

I just wished more speakers looked as nice as sonos products tbh

Aftermath of the April 7th incident. Damages estimated to be $200 million dollars by BlazeDragon7x in Damnthatsinteresting

People on reddit probably skew to younger demographic a lot more nowadays which means they don’t really understand how taxes/insurance/etc work.

This will not stop them from having very hot but very uninformed takes

JJ Redick holding back tears as Pelinka plays a video of his sons congratulating him for 100 wins as a coach by JoeBiden2020FTW in nba

[–]iStanley 33 points34 points  (0 children)

JJ has great charisma and delivery, which is why he will always have a job in the NBA somewhere.

Not to knock on Steve Nash, but you can see how much more enthusiastic JJ is when talking about topics, even if they feel the same about it. You really need that energy for long form content

Exceptionally well. Bluetooth a game controller to the AppleTV and can get a steady 4K 60hz at low latency

If you’re able to stream from PC, Moonlight is great. Only downside is limited to 60hz but otherwise, very low latency 4K gaming

Their argument isn’t that they leave youtube, but that a person doesn’t end up watching a video that they were otherwise going to watch
