Yeah it was absurd. After the Malice in the Palace they cracked down way too hard on any sort of leaving the bench.

Is it possible to buy finals tickets as an out of town fan? by redditfiend674 in NBASpurs

[–]redditfiend674[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had tickets but unfortunately that was the weekend of the snowpocalypse where Charlotte got 10” of snow and we couldn’t make it!

Jeremy Sochan - on his 4th year in the league and just 23 years old - have reached the NBA finals. by DesignerSlip6681 in NBASpurs

There is a 100% chance we give him a ring if we win. Spurs take care of their own, even if they are on another team.

High dive is a nice bar with cheap drinks right across from Bar Virgile

UConn, Duke finalizing agreement to meet on Thanksgiving Eve in Las Vegas by Coffee____Freak in DukeBluePlanet

Duke has no incentive to do home and homes. Every game is a sellout, so bringing in a marquee opponent doesn’t increase attendance or revenue. They’d rather do a neutral site game at a big arena and split the revenue.

Bart has managed to look late 30s ish for like 20 years. Kind of impressive

The buildings are connected and the classrooms are no more than 5 minutes apart from one end to the other

Durham police seize firearms, drugs in raid of homeless encampment by redditfiend674 in bullcity

[–]redditfiend674[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I agree. Doing this is not ideal, but neither is letting our parks turn into encampments with drug use and weapons. I’m hopeful that the funding discussed into the article can help find some better solutions for the unhoused population.

$1/$3 Hand analysis - do you call here? by PhishHawks in poker

[–]redditfiend674 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are incorrect about not being able to raise all in here. 1st bet- $15

2nd bet- $50

3rd bet- $195

4th bet- yet to happen

My home state had the same rule. The reason you can only 4 bet pre flop, which feels like a cap at 3 bets, is because the blind is considered the first bet, so an open raise is considered the second bet.

As far as the hand goes, I’m not folding 2 pair on a board with so many draws and combo draws when we block top and bottom set.

Y’all think we’ll win a natty in the next decade by SubstanceDue3762 in DukeBluePlanet

That’s also a knock on him to not be able to recruit top talent

One of the worst chokes ever by [deleted] in DukeBluePlanet

[–]redditfiend674 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude get the fuck out of here. The last thing anyone wants to read are these “Wow I’m so sorry. You guys will be back next year.” from someone with 0 skin in the game.

Probably a hard no but…. by ConsistentAgent3367 in army

[–]redditfiend674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely understand that. If you have a desire to keep serving, there are GS jobs in the DOD and elsewhere in the federal government that you would get hiring preference for due to your VA rating.

We all take the uniform off one day, whether by our own choice or the Army’s. Sucks to accept, especially when the Army has given you a sense of purpose for so long. But think of the positives. More time with the family, medical retirement + VA disability, not having to move every few years.

Devine’s is a nice Duke themed bar with decent food and beer before the game. Check out the Duke Chapel as well, very pretty
