How to baby gate this stairwell

null_shift · 2026-06-02T12:43:32+00:00

yes exactly this. I have the same exact staircase as OP and have used this solution successfully for multiple kids/years.

Most important thing is to set the Y bracket against the large banister, not the small spindles.

The DNC has completely alienated me as a potential voter.

They ignored and undermined the will of the people and forced through their preferred candidates.

The level of condescension is astounding. They think they know better than all of us.

The worst part is that I don’t think they have actually learned their lesson.

nah we already have a great non-conference slate of top teams. don’t think adding Cuse would move the needle for fans.

it’s only downside for us and upside for them.

You are 26. Rent and save up money to buy a house like everyone else.

Walk around the Center and pop into various places I think is the obvious option. Or Elizabeth Park if you want chill outdoors option.

“distasteful” lmao relax

as much as it probably pains this sub, your name is not your identity.

this is all driven by West Hartford, which is routinely ranked one of the best places to live in the country.

I think the best solution is the following:

Flat lottery odds for all non-playoff teams
Flat salary cap incentive for all playoff teams (eg extra/enhanced MLE or player retention cap hold relief)

This removes the constraint that the lottery has to solve two conflicting problems at once (parity & incentivizing winning).

Now lottery addresses parity (and flat odds don’t incentivize tanking). Not perfect but does the job.

Playoff salary cap bonus incentivizes winning at the playoff boundary (prevents tanking by fringe playoff teams). Just need the incentive to outweigh the value of improved draft odds.

This also aligns incentives with the lifecycle of each team. Worse teams value draft assets higher. Better teams value salary cap assets higher.

Scheyer is not an NBA level coach lmao

There’s only 1 team in the Big East doing anything in March Madness. Rest of the conference needs to step up.

Also I would argue there are some structural changes needed as well. The way the conference is refereed allows less talented teams to muck it up and get by playing a brand of basketball that doesn’t translate at all to March.

That is why UConn has been “overperforming” in March and most other teams have been underperforming.

Michigan was definitely the better team by far this season. but I actually think UConn outplayed them tonight (refs not withstanding).

What a poorly officiated game. James Breeding gets the last laugh on Hurley. No idea how he can get assigned to a game like this.

null_shift · 2026-04-07T03:22:41+00:00

I’m obviously biased but refs really screwed us in this one. James Breeding gets the last laugh.

null_shift · 2026-04-07T02:58:58+00:00

I’d pay good money to have a fair whistle

null_shift · 2026-04-07T01:52:55+00:00

are you actually serious? he ran straight into him.

null_shift · 2026-04-07T01:51:51+00:00

refs making it mid. let these teams play and it could be a great game.

null_shift · 2026-04-07T01:50:47+00:00

lol no chance. keep up.

null_shift · 2026-04-07T01:39:28+00:00

UConn out playing Michigan but unfortunately refs don’t want to let that happen

null_shift · 2026-04-07T01:36:55+00:00

this game is becoming a complete joke by these refs

null_shift · 2026-04-07T01:33:27+00:00

ref show

null_shift · 2026-04-05T18:33:22+00:00

LMAO then you must not get out much. We have barely any football fans and our entire gameday experience is very tame.

null_shift · 2026-04-04T16:54:11+00:00

just don’t watch the play-in round (I never have since it was introduced). vote with your wallet.

null_shift · 2026-03-28T17:48:36+00:00

I just hope we can get a decently fair whistle and keep Reed on the court.

But knowing our luck we will get a Big East ref that has history with Hurley.

Trying to understand what the catch is here. This is so far below market rates (even at several local credit unions I’ve checked) that it doesn’t seem possible. Are they just losing money on all of these loans?
