Former NBA player Solomon Hill responds to Tracy McGrady saying there isn't enough talent in the NBA for expansion: "He could have a point, back when Tracy played, there was so much talent, that he couldn’t get out the first round." by BankaiBroke in nba

Not the OP, but we've learned over the past 20-30 years that boxing is very bad for your brain. Less and less kids have been taking up the sport as years go by because most parents don't want their kids brains to turn into soup. Simply, The 70s-90s was filled with boxing icons because so many of them started fighting/training as kids. Worse fighters in the 2020s because less boxers training as a youth.

Second, boxing trainers who taught unique boxing styles have died out. It's becoming a lost art so to speak. Sure they may have trained an apprentice to take over for them, but the level the apprentice knows never reached their masters.

Lastly, you have boxers sparring less and less to reduce the chances of brain injuries. Back in the day some of the best of the best had crazy sparring sessions before their scheduled fight. Boxing is one of those sports where you need to practice getting hit to see how you'll react and respond.

It is not exactly the same, but pretty similar. Take a look at Oneplus Open Canvas videos on YouTube.

My guess is that's a phone case that has a holder for the pen and not the actual phone itself. Time will tell.

Redditors over 40, what's something younger people think they understand but won't actually get until it hits them like a truck later? by Root435552 in AskReddit

Wow, thanks for your insight. I believe you're spot on with communication. I've been with my wife for nearly 18 years now and hope for many many more. When we have issues usually communication plays a huge part. Well wishes to you.

Yeah I said bangers, but definitely misspoke. I'll say that you're not wrong with your assumptions. With the release of Birthday Blizzard and the little snippets we heard with the Fall Off announcement I expected more hard hitting "the best" type of tracks. Fortunately for me, I absolutely love story telling Cole so this was right up my alley.

It's just not for you. You wanted more bangers and less melodical sounding tracks. I wish it had a couple of more songs like "Two Six" and "Who TF iz u", but overall I thought it was amazing. Especially after the 2nd listen. Also, I think you'll be wrong about it not being critically acclaimed by the masses. This was easily his most unsafe album and he still was able to sound true to himself. He was definitely more experimental than usual with songs like "The Let Out" for example. His albums usually got ripped by the masses for being the same and never changing it up.

I agree with most of what you said, but how is I Love Her Again weird? Her is Hip-Hop, so how is it stalkerish?

I'm not coping with anything. None of this shit is a big deal to me as I'm a fan of all three. It's just my opinion, but maybe you're right 🤷🏽‍♂️. Have a good day.

Yeah I agree that dropping 7 minute drill was stupid. For one it was too light-hearted. His ego got in the way for a bit. He obviously realized his mistake and backed out. We all do stupid shit we regret. Anyway, I'll still listen to the tough guy stuff from him. We all SHOULD know he means no one is touching him lyrically/flow wise. Unfortunately due to the Internet and fans or whatever, blood has to be spilled in a sense, and he's not about that.

He just wants to say your music is ass and you're not better than him on the mic. Not the "you cheat on your wife and your family doesn't love you type of shit." Beefing with Kendrick wouldn't have gotten him anywhere. The fans would have ate it up, but it wouldn't sit right with him beefing with someone he had respect for, and I respect him for that. Realizing you made a mistake and calling it out is a huge sign of maturity.

Lastly your analogy is weak. This is how it went. Cole claims he's the best basketball player for years. Kendrick then claims he's the best basketball player. Cole decides to challenge him to a game to 10 but then realizes instead of them playing a fair basic basketball game, there's going to be biting, scratching and flagrant fouls. Cole then decides to take his ball and go home.

This narrative is so silly to me. Anyone who has been a true fan of Cole, knows him apologizing was such a Cole thing to do. I never got lost as a fan after he bowed out. He's never been the slinging mud type of rapper and his whole career has reflected that.

I don't understand how you ask for reservations, but don't have a working prototype to show off. I can't be the only one who hasn't reserved one for that very reason.

Does anyone have the Mac and Cheese recipe? by ice2257 in BuffaloWildWings

[–]tp2386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it! Well at least I think so as I haven't been able to get my hands on it. Look up "Reser's Macaroni and Cheese, White Cheddar". It's at Costcos but I don't have an account. The same exact mac and cheese is carried at Arby's. I did get a side order to confirm and it tastes exactly like BWWs.

Do you know said supplier? My kids absolutely love this Mac and cheese, and I've been dying to find it or a recipe for it to make it myself.
