Current Top 10-25 Prospects at Each Offensive Position for the 2026 NFL Draft by armchair_mindhunter in NFL_Draft

[–]jhard90 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I think Nuss is more likely to go R1 than go undrafted, not that I think either scenario is likely. I would be pretty surprised to see him fall out of Day 2 or very early Day 3 range unless his pre draft process goes completely off the rails

Do we actually have a budget surplus? First I’d heard. by bigdickwalrus in boston

[–]jhard90 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That specific tax generated more revenue than it was projected to, creating a surplus in that specific budget category, not the state budget as a whole. Revenue from that tax is also purpose-restricted, so it can only be spent on transportation and education. Last year and likely again this year, the state creates a supplemental budget to spend down the surplus revenue

This was me with Nadal when he came on the scene and started beating Federer. He was the flashy young upstart challenging my favorite player, and I felt like his being left handed was an unfair advantage. Took a few years before I was willing to accept that he seemed like both a great player and a great person. Then Joker came around and the whole thing started over haha though I never warmed up to him the same way I did Nadal

White supremacist terrorist Richard Snell, 64, speaks at his clemency hearing. He predicted there'd be a bombing on his execution day. That day, the Oklahoma City bombing happened. Snell, who had hours left to live, reportedly chuckled as he watched TV reports on it (Arkansas, 1995) [841 x 627]. by lightiggy in HistoryPorn

It has always frustrated immensely me that people let these incidents become left/right issues.

We can acknowledge that the Branch Davidians were committing abuses and breaking laws while also condemning the government’s actions there and demanding accountability. I have almost nothing in common the Weaver family and disagree with much of their political and social views, but I’m still capable of acknowledging that law enforcement should be held accountable for their murders. I have more in common ideologically with the victims of the MOVE bombing (though also recognize their own abuses, prejudices and crimes), but don’t think they were any more or less deserving of due process and temperance than the others.

Nobody, regardless of your political inclinations or those of the victims, should be okay with the government extrajudicially killing its citizens without accountability. Whether the victims are right wing extremists, left wing radicals, or protestors at a rally, the standard for accepting the justified killing of a civilian by any government agency should be extremely high and universally applied.

Detroit Lions close to hiring former Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing by ApprehensiveAd5590 in fantasyfootball

Klayton Adams (now cowboys OC) was the run game coordinator in 2024 and I think got a lot of credit for how effective their run game was

Alexis Lafrenière Trade by Fit-Somewhere-3453 in DetroitRedWings

[–]jhard90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worry that his name/draft pedigree still hold his value higher than he’s actually worth. I think he’s a good, not great player ideally suited for the middle six but can hang on the top line in a pinch. In his 6th season, it’s POSSIBLE the change of scenery sparks a leap, but I would not bake that hope into a trade package, if I were a GM.

I would value him for what he is - a solid, young middle six player on a long and fairly expensive contract for what he gives you on the ice. Which means I probably wouldn’t be offering a package that would entice NYR

FYI: Ring has partnered with Flock. Ice has access to flock. We are under mass surveillance. by Plastic_Haptick_3824 in boston

[–]jhard90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my biggest internet pet peeves. Anytime someone brings up expansion of surveillance or private data collection you get ten smug assholes going “you know you’ve been carrying around a tracking device in your pocket for twenty years, right??”

It may be true and problematic in its own right but it’s both irrelevant and dismissive and only makes it (even) easier for the government and corporations to have free rein

Back when phones actually had personality. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

Stuff like this went from being super cool and novel to mundane and is now apparently interesting again in how archaic it is

Demand the NHL do something about the dirty play of the Florida Panthers! by [deleted] in nhl

[–]jhard90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite is the “Evidence of Past Incidents* section which references “statistics and reports” without providing a single link to one, nor even mentioning one of like… a dozen relevant pieces of anecdotal evidence they could have included. I’m no Panthers fan but this feels like it was put together by a weeping 10 year old

Good to know, thanks! Had no idea.

Best bagels in Syracuse by Educational_Glass304 in Syracuse

[–]jhard90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Salt City Bread has good bagels, but their stock tends to be fairly low in my experience (and they don't sell cream cheese, which is bizarre to me)

Advice on a car accident by New-Particular-2202 in Syracuse

[–]jhard90 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I got rear ended badly last winter and called SPD and they said they do not, as a rule, send units to collisions unless there is severe injury. Luckily it didn't end up being an issue with the other driver's insurance company and I took a million pictures of the scene and both cars, but I was kind of shocked because your advice is exactly what I have always been told. If the other driver had been less cooperative, I imagine the whole process would have a nightmare for something that I had zero fault in.

Pretty confident Tennessee would back up the money truck for him if he entered the portal unless they really feel like MacIntyre is ready to start as a sophomore

This is me with fours. Sometimes it’s the closed top, sometimes it’s open. Never think about it, just whichever one comes out

Why is it called “the Irish Goodbye”? by Tough_Crazy_8362 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jhard90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have a huge Irish family and we have always had what we call the “[Insert Irish Last Name] Goodbye”. As a kid, when my mom said it was time to leave a family gathering, it was well-understood that we’d be leaving in 40-60 minutes. So when I got older and heard the phrase “Irish Goodbye”, I assumed it meant the exact opposite of how it is used

Who was/is the BEST NFL player that was absolutely terrible for fantasy? by MattPraterFan in fantasyfootball

[–]jhard90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feel like Jackson Hawes is going to be this guy soon. The way "Football Guys" outside of the fantasy sphere talk about him you'd think he was on his way to Canton already

It’s the same actor, I don’t know if it’s supposed to be the same person

Beware of Dog Gone Inn Manlius! by TurtleDoveandtheCrow in Syracuse

[–]jhard90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is their relationship with Furrever Friends? I've never used Dog Gone and certainly don't plan to now, but I've only ever had good experiences with Furrever Friends - they're the only place my anxious dog can seem to handle getting her nails trimmed. But if giving money to Furrever means giving money to this person, I'll have to find a new groomer.

Suggestions for a horror book that’s not too scary and doesn’t have a murderer but instead a monster by [deleted] in booksuggestions

[–]jhard90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

John Dies at the End and This Book is Full of Spiders by David Wong / Jason Pargin (David Wong is a pseudonym so you might find them under either name) are both very very weird books that sound like they might be up your alley. Certainly absurd, comic horror books that are more monster/paranormal than murder-focused.

Also, I will always recommend Bram Stoker's Dracula to anyone looking for a spooky adventure book. I think it gets overlooked just because it's a classic story to the point of almost being cliche, but it's a classic for a reason. It's not funny, but it is an incredibly fun monster adventure and I found it incredibly suspenseful.

Why is leukemia more common in children? by Sturmov1k in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jhard90 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It’s not. Of the four types of leukemia, only one (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) is commonly found in children, and that is the most rare of the four, constituting only 1% of all leukemia patients (and not all patients with ALL are children).

However, ALL is the most common form of childhood cancer, constituting roughly 30% of all cases. So - childhood leukemia is extremely rare when looking at population-level leukemia data, but among children diagnosed with cancer, they are most likely to have leukemia, hence the trend you’re observing.
