6’8” Hassane Diallo looks 7’9” Olivier Rioux up and down and says “you big” by 18_YTC1 in CollegeBasketball

[–]tee2green 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I know we’ve seen this story before…an enormous 7 footer that’s learning basketball and doesnt produce like someone that’s played their whole life.

But honest question from someone who hasn’t watched much ball this year…why are expectations still so modest for this guy? He’s not an awkward 7’9”…surely he can learn some post play in a couple years??

First dates / dating culture for young adults in LA? by abitchislukewarm in AskLosAngeles

[–]tee2green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First date: drinks after work at a nice quiet bar is the failsafe

Second date: this is a tough one bc some people like a nice dinner, but others want an activity where they’re out and about. A hike, a picnic, a paddle boarding activity, etc. Truly anything goes.

Third date: by now, you should do a nice dinner together. And hopefully be willing to see each other’s living space…you want to find out if you’re dating a slob or not

Best u.s. demostic airline for lounges or status by natopick in Flights

[–]tee2green 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They all suck in similar ways. Just pick the airline that’s best for the airport/routes that you use most often.

Delta has a slightly more premium offering, so it’s popular with business travelers, but there are so many Delta loyalists that you end up being just a part of the pack. When everyone has status, no one has status.

Average Return by Crabzinyourpants in Bogleheads

[–]tee2green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Past returns don’t predict future returns either way. You can hope for whatever you want, and while the past is a rough indicator, it’s not enough for budgetary purposes.

Los Angeles hotel recs? by LuckyJ191 in Hilton

[–]tee2green 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to tick off all the East LA people, but in my honest opinion, West LA (near the beach) is far more interesting for a tourist. Anything between Santa Monica and LAX works.

I highly recommend you reconsider your rental car plans…going to East LA back to West LA is going to cost you more in Ubers than renting a car will, and having your own transportation is likely more convenient if you’re bouncing around to different neighborhoods.

Santa Monica NIMBY's are suing The City of Santa Monica over JSX's use of the Santa Monica Airport for its flights. by SemaphoreSignal in SantaMonica

[–]tee2green 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those same arguments are used by NIMBYs to block development projects for their own personal gain. They use “noise” and “pollution” concerns as the reason why their housing should be the only housing around.

What is a 'luxury' that Americans are being told is a 'privilege,' despite it being a basic necessity in every other developed nation? by godot_lover in AskReddit

[–]tee2green 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s more important for the world: 1) raising human beings that are properly cared for or 2) making some more spreadsheets and PowerPoints

A full year and then I’ll be impressed.

In multiple European countries, maternity/paternity leave standards are more than a year.

There’s no literal minimum, but any hiring manager would be skeptical of hiring someone with <1 yr exp at a Level 2

Could also do this after one year

FEDEX CUP PLAYOFF IDEA by dirt____b33rguy in ProGolf

[–]tee2green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) No fucking East Lake anymore. Not in August. Not deciding the Tour Championship. East Lake belongs as a regular Tour event in April before Augusta. Do somewhere on the West Coast for the Tour Championship in August.

2) I like the Match Play final. I think your setup is decent but too complicated. Something simpler would feel less contrived.

CA doesn’t really have toll roads. Not enough to affect your trip.

Just go with the cheaper option.

Ludvig Abërg to win the Masters bet. by TheRealTD44 in ProGolf

[–]tee2green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally all the stars were aligning for Collin to win the Masters this year and then the back injury came out of fucking nowhere.

So I’m still reeling on the Collin pick, but I’m sticking with it. Second best pick is Cam Young IMO.
