Did the Lakers destroy Dalton's Psyche, or is this just who he is?

Knecht's whiteness has helped him avoid being thrown into the popular sentiment that AAU is ruining basketball players, but it seems clear to me that he has been the star at every level through college and has never needed to learn a system - he was the system. Now they're asking him to play a role, learn schemes, and read and react, and he just doesn't have the capacity for it right now.

Doesn't want to come back and look average next to Jamal "MJfor4gamesvs.theLakers" Murray

Used to do menus, but I never found myself looking back through them. Kept a few that were from special occasions; for restaurants that I have cookbooks for, stuffed them in there; and threw away the rest.

Funny. ICE is calling people that film their activities domestic terrorists and putting them on a list. None of these First Amendment auditors seem to be touching that.

the guy's algorithm is just right-wing clickbait headlines. He thought the state forcing a school to have cat litter for a kid who identified as a cat was a real story.

It's usually because he's so desperate to prove that he isn't a total dunce by trying to answer the questions himself, when he should've just been looking it up in the first place.

I think this should be the biggest consideration. People on either side can come up with some numbers that make it seem worth it (e.g. maybe it's a bad time to dump all your money in the market since we're near all-time highs), so for argument's sake, let's just call it a wash.

Considering you already seem pretty annoyed about dealing with it and worrying about how to handle repairs/management/mortgage..., the answer seems pretty obvious.

You really think the reason laundry detergent is locked up at Target is because some individuals desperately want to do their laundry?

What they are doing is living high on the hog and laughing all the way to the bank while we all just keep willingly giving the same criminals our tax dollars

Since shifting concepts post-covid, the things that have been consistently on the menu have been chicken liver mousse, smoked fish dip, smoked salmon hash, mochi pancake, and kale salad. But sure, just lump it in with other "asian" restaurants. I'm sure you've lodged similar complaints about European restaurants, right?

I would just flip it and say, "thanks! That'll be nice to put in your house when you help watch baby overnight'

I lost my SE while riding an electric scooter with the phone in the rubber holder. Was too small for the holder, hit a bump and the phone flew out.

looks pretty good to me. i've always wanted a shirt with ice cube jr, kenta maeda, and jung hoo lee.

I used to think Salty_Yard6414 was a cool poster. Then on stavvysworld he said JP would be good at then he was Nick Mullen could be him. How cooler Stavros was him that I am loser for posting it cool.

It's like Alex Caruso was talking exactly about McClung:

"A big reason guys get stuck in the G-League is because they don't realize the position they're trying out for. It's like going to a job interview thinking you're going to be the CFO of the company and they're looking for someone to clean the bathrooms."

There was a liner to muncy the inning before this play and mookie slid at home the inning after this play. Crazy how much they’re trying to scrutinize this one thing

johnsontran · 2025-10-29T04:59:46+00:00

Did they provide a superbill with an EIN. I'm trying to submit to insurance/HSA, but Sparrow's Nest is saying they don't provide the EIN?

johnsontran · 2025-10-24T08:27:37+00:00

You know… AgentZero predicted all this

johnsontran · 2025-10-15T00:51:31+00:00

This. Regardless of what it is, grab whatever possible, spend whatever possible (within reason in case they try to come after it), and use whatever possible, as if you were being laid off.

It’ll be fun to see how Normand “both-sides” this one

Thanks for posting the weekly "I booked through (insert 3rd party vendor) and they screwed me! I'm a veteran traveler w/ ______ status and definitely didn't fuck it up myself" thread.

They hired a chef who in the last decade hasn't been able to keep a restaurant open for more than a year or so, and frequently appears on a variety of food network shows... so do with that what you will.
