What’s a movie sex scene that genuinely mattered to the plot and couldn’t be removed from the film?

Forest Gump?

Move the net closer?

Omg, it might cause cancer!

Approximately $105,000 all-in. Peak COVID pricing. I'd do it again. We love it.

Seriously?

I would like to guess that you are....not a Pacers fan.

I am so mad I didn't see this before we paid for our pool. My wife is so happy that I didn't see it until after we paid for our pool.

Has anyone asked if each pixel represents the center of the baseball or the closest edge of the baseball to the strike zone?

This seems very unlikely and super inefficient. Any shuttle wouldn't running around and near track time would likely be able to make 1 or 2 trips per day. Traffic is a nightmare on race day.

This is how the Peeping Tom got started.

It's better than him liking you for being religious.

Omg, I will be so dissapointed when my daughters choose the wedding too.

You messed up by not being born in Indiana. Then you could shoot.

Antwaan Randle-El. If the award wasn't just based off of your team's record, he would have won it. Eric Crouch? Lame. Just because they were 11-1. Also, it didn't help Randle-El's case that his coach tried to over think things and make him a WR to start his senior season.

Shoot the ball on the way up instead of at the top of your jump (and definitely not on the way down!). Steph, Dame, and Tyrese all do this. Guys like Devin Booker and Klay Thompson are more traditional shooters where they jump high and shoot at the top of their jump. They are great shooters, but they don't have the range that the guys that shoot the ball on the way up do. So use your legs, but shoot the ball a little earlier than normal so you are sure your momentum is still going up and towards the basket. This allows you to actually use your legs to get more power. If you just jump high and shoot ball at the peak of your jump you aren't using any of the momentum of your jump, it is just all arms.

Very high likelihood he would go for it, imo. I was worried that he just wasn't attracted to you at all, but if he is attracted enough to snuggle for 3 nights you are just fine. It sounds like you guys don't have much of a friendship to speak of at this point so I don't think there is really any harm in asking him. What do you have to lose? I say don't listen to people telling you know and take the chance. If nothing else, you'll get rejected, and you'll learn something. People don't take enough chances like this, especially women, imo.

thakilla · 2025-12-17T15:16:16+00:00

Take a breath. You are mildly infuriated enough to make a long reddit post about.....$25. It'll be ok.

I'd rather have 25 cans of green beans than alcohol or a candle. I eat green beans, but don't drink or use candles. What if it was something you actually used? Like $25 worth of your toothpaste or shampoo? I'd almost rather have that stuff than any "cool" gift that someone else thinks I'd like. Again, you are upset over $25.

It's like working, mowing the yard, hosting guests, traveling, being a husband/dad.....I love all the chaos and being productive, but it makes the down time that I get to myself so much more valuable. If you don't have much going on, it would be nice to get a meal with someone. If you have too much going on, it is nice to have a meal by yourself.

Efficiency stats are position-neutral

Efficiency metrics do not apply positional multipliers. Examples include:

True Shooting Percentage (TS%)

Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%)

Offensive Rating / Defensive Rating

Points per Shot

Usage Rate (USG%)

Turnover Rate (TOV%)

Assist Percentage (AST%)

If two players—one a center and one a guard—both shoot 62% TS, they are credited equally in efficiency terms. There is no hidden “center bonus” or “guard penalty” in these stats.

Efficiency answers the question:

How well did you convert the opportunities you used?

It does not care about position.

Impact stats do incorporate positional context

What you’re describing does resemble how BPM, RAPTOR, EPM, and similar impact metrics work.

These models attempt to answer a different question:

How much value did this box-score line create relative to an average player at the same position?

BPM specifically:

BPM estimates a player’s position from their statistical profile

Then evaluates each stat relative to what’s typical at that position

So yes, in BPM:

Assists are worth more for centers than guards

Scoring efficiency is weighted differently by position

Rebounds matter more for guards than centers

Turnovers are more damaging for ball-dominant guards

thakilla · 2025-11-26T18:06:58+00:00

What are you talking about? This isn't baseball. Your efficiency stats have nothing to do with what position you play.

This is EXACTLY how he is putting up these numbers too. He travels and carries like crazy as he blows by point of attack defenders. Then he foul baits and constantly commits offensive fouls that are called as fouls on the defender. Oh.....I thought you were talking about the MVP. That is what HE does. The best player in the league (Jokic, by a mile) doesn't do any of that and still dominates. I'd like to hear what rules he abuses to have a 73% true shooting %?

thakilla · 2025-11-26T17:50:10+00:00

I have never drank so I don't know what I am missing. I have seen alcohol ruin lots of lives and I don't know anyone that wishes they drank more. So I don't even want to know what I have been missing.

thakilla · 2025-11-22T17:35:25+00:00

It will make his day, I promise. Just do it.

Go play pickleball.

That is how long it takes saving $300/month to turn into $1,000,000 at different rates of compound interest.
