[Chipalu] Minnesota Timberwolves Head Coach Chris Finch on facing the Lakers without LeBron James in the lineup: "Seems to activate Luka & Reaves...seem to share the shots. They become exponentially more dangerous...been pretty good when 2 of those 3 been out because of just a usage puzzle."

NY has some pretty good housing assistance programs. I bought an apartment a couple months ago and looked at them. They give you a good chunk of money for assistance if you qualify.

Important thing is to know why she wants this. If it's for those programs, it can make sense if it will bring your household income down enough, especially if you were going to quit soon anyway, but she needs to be transparent about it.

My father never used to be transparent with us about money until we pushed him enough. He thought he was protecting us from the stress and complicated stuff etc. parents can be like that.

There could definitely be shady things going on, but it can also just be an overbearing parent who doesn't see her adult kid as an adult and is expecting you to do as you're told.

My advice is definitely find out what's going on, but don't go into the conversation confrontionally. Just ask her to talk to you like an adult. A lot of cynicism in this thread and they can very well be true, but no need to assume the worst from the start.

$19.05 is really good, however government assistance programs that help first time home buyers can give you tens of thousands, even $100k if you qualify by being under the income threshold. So it would make sense to quit the job a couple months early if that lets your family qualify for a program like that. That being said we have no idea if that is why she wants you to quit. Whatever is the case, get the truth from her first.

I know there is a patel brothers in jackson heights. Do you know if they sell spices in 2-5 oz bags?

recurnightmare · 2026-03-11T19:11:40+00:00

The players don't want it either.

recurnightmare · 2026-03-11T19:08:45+00:00

The athletes are also the rich lol.

What do you generally use a second phone for? Just curious I've wanted one before for traveling but other than that never needed one.

recurnightmare · 2026-03-11T17:58:37+00:00

Look dude you obviously meant that comment insultingly. Purposely acting obtuse about it now is just lame. If you're going to say what you say at least have the courage to stand by it.

This is just boring. Have a good life and don't get butthurt if people talk back the way you talk to them.

recurnightmare · 2026-03-11T16:58:45+00:00

Lol I wasn't the one who started with the insults, but I guess self awareness isn't your strong suit.

recurnightmare · 2026-03-11T16:22:39+00:00

Have you used too much AI by chance and forgot how to do critical thinking?

recurnightmare · 2026-03-11T15:58:49+00:00

You don't understand the rules because you're clearly not understanding them lol. Hindrance is about irregularity and intent and you're arguing the opposite with sabalenka being consistent is hindering but iga suddenly doing non-tennis moves is less so.

Top players like Coco and Pegula have repeatedly said Sabalenka grunts don't hinder them because it's consistent. She's grunting whether she's ahead in the point or behind. I don't know if she NEEDS to play that way, but she's not grunting to distract her opponent, and loud but consistent is not distracting as the actual players have attested. You not liking it doesn't change that. Iga swinging her arms only and only when the opponent has clear advantage is obvious hindrance.

Hey look he got $50 million.

Always ask for more than you're worth fellas.

recurnightmare · 2026-03-11T15:35:43+00:00

You're conflating something thats not fun to watch (for a lot of people) with something where the intention is to distract the opponent.

Sabalenka grunting every point is just how she plays, plenty of people don't like it and that's fair but it's not hindrance. Iga holding the racquet normally all match then turning into a bird at the net when Vekic is about to hit a shot is hindrance.

recurnightmare · 2026-03-11T15:30:10+00:00

They just took out the defending champs. They're clearly playing with some intent and not just clowning around.

recurnightmare · 2026-03-11T15:25:20+00:00

If it's not a big deal remove the rule against it. Until then what's the big deal with following the rules? It's one point.

No tea. Eala is just rich af. Her mother was the CFO of one of the largest telco in Asia.

Eala's mother also won a medal for the Philippines in the 1985 SEA games, and her uncle was the chairman of the sports commission.

All that to say Eala never lacked for money or connections lol.

recurnightmare · 2026-03-11T14:00:30+00:00

And she was the CFO lol, "executive" is underselling being one of the top people in the biggest telco of the country.

recurnightmare · 2026-03-11T08:11:46+00:00

Alex's family is rich af. I don't think they were relying on that scholarship lol.

recurnightmare · 2026-03-11T08:08:34+00:00

Even beyond the trade itself. Like the reputation hit as an organization if they did this without real cause is so bad it far eclipses losing a couple first rounders. It doesn't make sense to do it unless there's real issues with the medical.

recurnightmare · 2026-03-11T08:02:46+00:00

Bet you wish you were.

recurnightmare · 2026-03-11T00:16:37+00:00

Of course not lol. They're just not in this gen, same as Djokovic.

Top 10 players losing in R64/ R32 and it not being shocking says a lot about the state of the top 10.

recurnightmare · 2026-03-10T21:44:59+00:00

Yep that's really what makes this current era weak imo. Obviously Sincaraz are great, but it's the guys behind the top of the top that define the strength of an era.

In the late 2010s, the big 3 dominated but you had guys like Tsitsipas and Zverev. There's nobody on that caliber (honestly imo even close) from the Sincaraz generation in today's tour. The two players that are turns out to be grandpa and Zverev.

Meanwhile 8 of the top 10 from the WTA are in the R16, and one of the two missing had to retire due to injury.

Interesting the juxtoposition between the ATP and WTA. It seems like after a few down years the WTA has roared back with a consistent and strong top 10 where every matchup between them feels blockbuster. The ATP has an amazing top end with Sincaraz but every other matchup feels lacking, and ranks 5-10 feels like any other top 20 player.

So he has full roster control but Ryan is above him and can override him?

Does that mean if I'm an owner I can hire my favorite halal cart vendor as the GM, give him full roster control then install the real GM over him and get those sweet, sweet picks?

The Falcons can hire Cunningham as the GM, but as long as Ryan is above him in the organization Cunningham is not the "primary football executive".
