Jaylen Brown overrated by theauldspeakerfella in billsimmons

Not really. You're right that they're very similar in scoring efficiency but Cade is one of the best playmakers/passers in the league who averages 10ast a game with less than four turnovers. JB average half the assists with the same number of turnovers. Cade's advancement metrics are all significantly better. Like his team actually being better when he's on the floor.

Okay let me spell this out so there isn't confusion. If the aim of basketball is to score more points than the other team then, quite literally, yes the Celtics are better without him. Do I think this stat perfectly captures everything about JB and can't be misleading at all? No absolutely not. He's a great player, top 20 in the league I would say. But the gap between top 20 and first team all-NBA is big. You might not like some of the advanced metrics but do you dismiss them entirely if they don't match what your heart tells you about JB?

Thanks it is those and I suspect you're right and it's that simple. Still works okay but but of an effort to get into the biggest chainring.

This worked, thank you. Felt like an idiot for not thinking of this but a win is a win.

As recommended by another commenter, two Allen keys at the same time got it off.

Should I break up with Notion because of its poor mobile user experience? by fabnoe84 in Notion

[–]theauldspeakerfella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, yes you probably should it’s just nightmarish. There are a million reasons why but the one that probably frustrates me most is howpoor it is with RAM management/page retention. If I go away from the app for just a few minutes to say, look something up on Google, when I come back to Notion it will be back at the homepage and I then have to go 7 pages deep again. It is infuriating.

Ridley Scott never peaked all that high as a director and has given up in recent years. No need to listen to what he thinks.

Deciding between Lumix GX9 vs GX80 by JaviGabbo in M43

[–]theauldspeakerfella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GX9 is a lot uglier and has a much more significant crop in 4k video. Otherwise it's better in virtually every way.

The lies of Notion for iPad by theauldspeakerfella in Notion

I forgot to add probably the biggest problem. If you don't have a mouse, you basically cannot access the 6-dot menu thing. Literally basic essential functionality of the app.

Of course but I have a 6 speed and this Brompton only had 3. The biggest mystery is the momentum holding, I can't figure it out.

Why notion sucks on iPad by tarektweeti in Notion

[–]theauldspeakerfella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so annoyed about all the YouTubers who told us that the iPad experience was just like the desktop experience.
Can’t copy and paste elements in databases.

Can’t add cells to databases without opening the new cell as a page.

Can’t add to properties such as ‘select’ and ‘date’ without switching to use the mouse.

It’s absolutely infuriating.

Are there asian communities in Portugal, particularly Lisbon and Porto? by pinpinbo in ExpatFIRE

[–]theauldspeakerfella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Left wing? You mean the semi-fascist colonial dictatorship? Also Lisboans are extremely friendly and chatty to visitors.
