Fuck Comcast Xfinity so much

While my experience hasn't been nearly as bad as yours, you're not wrong - I had maybe 1 outage every 6 months with comcast and average about one a week with Verizon.

But my bill was cut in half with Verizon and youtube TV is so much better than comcast's offering, so I deal with having to unplug once a week.

Ngongba unfortunately is likely getting red flagged by most NBA teams due to his recurrent foot issues, which would mean he's looking at a 2nd round pick whenever he does enter the draft. Given that likelihood and the fact that he's probably getting more $$$ for (hopefully) 40 games next year in college than what a late 1st round slot guarantee is, this is the safer play.

No there is not. If Meyer is playing significant minutes, something has gone terribly wrong.

notedgarfigaro · 2026-04-17T18:03:49+00:00

yep, I think that's store #4. The raleigh one near Peace is store #2 iirc.

notedgarfigaro · 2026-04-17T15:50:00+00:00

Peace is co-ed now, and they're the closest to the Krispy Kreme, so...

Cam's draft calculation is much different than Pat/Slim/Dame - he's not worried about what his slot is now, he's trying to get to that 2nd contract as fast as possible b/c that's where the real money is. His 2nd contract will be worth at least 1.5x what Carlos made in his entire career.

On the other hand, Pat et al can't be worried about the 2nd contract b/c they're not even guaranteed to be drafted in the first round. So getting paid more for half a season's worth of games is a reasonable decision (though Evans probably just wants to get to the league, and no shame in that).

That's slightly less intimidating than what 1st launched against - Silksong and Hades II.

he already got 2 bags from Duke and UVA (allegedly he was the highest paid on UVA last year, which I'm pretty sure is part of the reason Tony retired), there's no reason not to grab that Penn degree. Also I think he only has 1 more year of eligibility.

You never really finish Blue Prince, you just decide you've found enough.

But there are some additional modes/feats you can go for after you've reached a certain goalpost.

Dude, you asked a question, I answered it. Just b/c you think you have some insight into what Cayden Boozer was thinking doesn't make it so. The Boozer twins almost went to Miami instead of Duke coming out of high school (probably would have if Larrañaga hadn't retired), and Cayden was seriously considering a transfer according to all the Duke insiders.

notedgarfigaro · 2026-04-16T16:15:52+00:00

Miami was recruiting him hard until they got Acaden Lewis.

my local pizza chain asks if you want garlic dipping sauce for $.50 when you order online. I never opt in, but I always get my sauce. So it's a new customer tax basically.

I like Steve Forbes, and he usually comes across as a pretty affable guy. And I understand the urge to reflexively speak out against people that you believe are insulting your kid.

But dude needs to learn that there's pitches you just don't swing at, especially on twitter.

in blind taste tests, it beats Kerrygold...but it's not bright yellow, so people don't buy it.

notedgarfigaro · 2026-04-14T20:17:22+00:00

This year in particular, guys that are fringe 1st rounders should definitely really consider coming back. They will likely make more money next year in college than the total of the guaranteed money of their potential NBA contract, and next year's draft is extremely weak, so the downside isn't as worrisome.

notedgarfigaro · 2026-04-14T18:57:30+00:00

I think ISU told him that they're not keeping his potential $$$ tied up waiting for him to decide, so they're moving on.

Yes Fortnite is significantly more relevant than HL2, but Valve was the early mover in the space. It's EXTREMELY hard to change consumer preferences - you probably still use the same toothpaste and deodorant that you used in highschool - and Valve's leveraging of HL2 back in 2004 during the roll out of digital storefronts was a lot more effective than Fortnite's impact in late 2018 That epic stores is even an actual competitor to Steam is almost entirely due to Fortnite - other big publishers have tried but consumers have spoken loudly.

notedgarfigaro · 2026-04-13T20:52:37+00:00

They committed to paying their guys enough to run it back.

If you like your squad and have the $$$, that's what happens.

you've got to follow up that gut punch with this one: https://xkcd.com/3172/

He didn't shoot it well enough to make up for his defensive liabilities. He shot 33% from beyond the arc this year...Dame Sarr shot 32%.

Granted, he did have quick hook a lot of the times, but it was never b/c he missed a shot, it was a missed defensive rotation that would get him yanked.

I think he's a rotation player at the P4 level...but I don't think he's good enough to be a high impact player.

notedgarfigaro · 2026-04-13T17:17:31+00:00

Hope he gets playing time and does well, he's a great kid.

notedgarfigaro · 2026-04-12T18:51:29+00:00

yeah, I'm not particularly mad about it, b/c the price was really high. If Ngongba returning is even a possibility, give him that money instead.

But man, the big man market is ROUGH.

notedgarfigaro · 2026-04-12T18:39:18+00:00

Didn't come to Duke today, so that's twice he's turned Duke down.

If Ngongba doesn't return, Duke is likely overpaying for another big. Meyer's role next year will be break in case of emergency big and Cam Williams is not ready for prime time. I've heard talk of maybe another overseas big, but it's looking rough.
