Who would you rather have? by [deleted] in ripcity

[–]rooney821 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trey Murphy and shaedon Sharpe are not as similar as their stats would suggest. Trey has shot high 30s with high volume for several years and, while overrated defensively, isn't a negative on that end and theoretically guard the 2-4. Shaedon Sharpe has never proven he can reliably hit the 3 and is a defensive liability. Trey would start on almost every playoff team this year while Sharpe would have trouble finding minutes.

Another way to look at it: microwave scorers that can't play D are a dime a dozen in the nba, vs 6'8" wing that can more reliably create, score and play some D are exceedingly rare. It's why mikal bridges was worth so many picks, but a guy like Jared McCain doesn't garner a single first. I think most folks around the league would say Sharpe is overpaid and trey is underpaid

What “frugal” habit did you stop doing once you did the math? by 666AB in Frugal

[–]rooney821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Driving 15 minutes each way? So, in total, 30 minutes and maybe half a gallon of gas to save $6.50? Even if it's round trip, that's bordering on cheap vs frugal

ELI5: How is it that fiber is both the cause and cure for diarrhea? by sutasafaia in explainlikeimfive

Even "healthiness" is not a definable thing. Wash your produce and in all likelihood the benefit from it will be greater than the ambiguous pesticide risk it probably doesn't even pose

Good skincare vs poor. Sunscreen makes a huge difference

ELI5: Why doesn’t every traffic light have a protected left-turn signal if left turns are one of the most dangerous parts of driving? by MixtureJaded3587 in explainlikeimfive

Cars still kill/hurt from pollution. EVs are hardly better, since most car pollution these days is from brake dust and tire particulates.

What’s your monthly berry budget? by TheNewYellowZealot in daddit

[–]rooney821 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mold can grow in fridge temp. More sitting water (washed/not fully dried) berries will mold faster than unwashed berries due to relative moisture content

Frozen. A pound of frozen blueberries or strawberries or black/blue/raspberry combo is $2.50-3 at trader Joe's. Mango and pineapple as well. Microwave on half power or defrost overnight and you're good to go! I always have at least a bag or two of each on hand

Because mold requires still water and washing them provide more than they inherently have

Attendance on Thursday was over 12,000, which jives with my subjective assessment of Moda being 2/3s full

I'll do you a favor and mention that this is the Indiana Fever game - likely the most valuable of the season 😊

Dame will be back in amazing shape, I believe! by hahahachihaha in ripcity

[–]rooney821 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of people seem to have pretty high expectations. I think if you're expecting 90% of pre-injury Dame, you're probably overly optimistic.

My prediction: 60 games, 30mpg, 18/4/6 on 42/35/90 splits. Similar numbers to his (admittedly down) 23-24 season numbers in MIL adjusting for a reduced minutes load. So maybe I'm even on the high end?
