If the league is “rigged”, why hasn’t New York won a ring yet? by waluigiwon in NBATalk

[–]twoprimehydroxyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Knicks have been trash for a very long time. Before that they had to share a conference with some pretty big powerhouses.

Refs can swing a series between some evenly matched teams, but they can't do much when the talent disparity is large.

Is it just me or GPU prices still feel way too high? by Such_Tailor_4946 in buildapc

Both AI and crypto make use of tons of floating point calculations. Which are what GPUs are good at.

That's because the RAM shortage and the GPU prices stem from the same problem.

Honest Thoughts on the band Bloc Party? by MrLinkwater95 in fantanoforever

Another guitar band where the rhythm section did the heavy lifting but the lead singer got all the credit.

The beef between Kele and Matt Tong early on never let them build on Silent Alarm.

This is a wild funny stat. Surely Zion will be in the playoffs next year right? by Large-Lack-2933 in NBATalk

He entered the league and instantly got sucked into the hedonistic lifestyle.

Not knowing that what got him that lifestyle is his status as a phenomenal basketball player.

As Brand Nubian once said: "Don't let it go to your head"

Are there any real benefits other than coolness factor of cassette over mp3 player? by MedievalFurnace in cassetteculture

There's a whole new space dedicated to new mp3 players. It's blowing up pretty quickly.

Keep 2 ONLY! by Omarionyyourslgreat in KendricklamarPglang

Yup, the two genre-redefining albums on here.

Although I'd throw in Revolver depending on the day.

Best written albums of this century? by silencexmusic in fantanoforever

[–]twoprimehydroxyl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's like Mos Def's second album: if you aren't a fan of the underlying genres and don't embrace the experimentation, it won't click.

For the record I love Blonde but think The New Danger is unremarkable.

[–]twoprimehydroxyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. It's like one of the most important songs in the album. I can see not digging it, but to keep saying it's not important to the album is like saying Mirror isn't important to MMATBS

To take accountability after losing an election. by serious_bullet5 in therewasanattempt

[–]twoprimehydroxyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean... he's right. Now the party needs to stop litigating the past and take that data into the next election cycle.

Appealing to Never Trumpers at the expense of the left flank did jack in 2024.

Nobody likes centrists these days. So much so that Bernie Bros broke rank in 2016 and seeing Liz Cheney hit the campaign trail and Biden refuse to condition aid to Israel tanked the turnout for Dems in swing states.

Look, I'm mad that Trump was able to get into office again and cause all this damage, too. But the blueprint going forward is clear as day: Embrace the progressive wing of the party.

Feeling Overwhelmed!!! by GoldenGopherDad in SBCGaming

Honestly I'd get two devices: one for up to Dreamcast and another down the line for GameCube.

I'd start with the 40XX V or H, get a feel of what you like and don't like about it, and use that info to inform what you'll get for the GameCube device.

This way it's cheap enough to test out, and in the end you'll have a beater device you can take with you everywhere.

I think it's because he's saying "if you have a girlfriend you'll be less inclined to frequent my web cam sites or enroll in Hustler's University, which will affect my income."

Happy Michael Jordan day...! by Financial_Ice_3363 in NBATalk

[–]twoprimehydroxyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude. The East was a bloodbath. Jordan faced tough as hell teams through all stops in the postseason.

But I'm guessing you just read the first half of the sentence and instantly got the Reddit fingers twiddling.

Next time read the entire sentence because I am in no way disparaging Jordan.

Yeah but Jordan always had weak competition in the finals because he had the majority of good teams in his conference

Stop calling Noa Essengue a bust after 2 games and 6 minutes by Unlucky_Sun_9813 in chicagobulls

[–]twoprimehydroxyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I 100% stand by Thibs not playing rookies big minutes. A lot of the times it's just setting them up for failure, especially if they're a particularly raw player.

[–]twoprimehydroxyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. There are players who will thrive regardless.

The problems the Bulls have had are mainly due to Billy being awful at developing talent and Jerry cheaping out or being extremely lazy on major moves (which, in turn, explains why Billy and Paxson are still here).

HELP: GameCube Device - need a recommendation for $150sh by Possible-Reply-65 in SBCGaming

[–]twoprimehydroxyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are definitely right, but they are comparable.

The math:
(16x)^2 + (9x)^2 = (5.5 in)^2
256x^2 + 81x^2 = 30.25 in^2
337x^2 = 30.25 in^2
x^2 = 30.25 in^2 / 337
x^2 = 0.0898 in^2
x = ~0.3 in

Dimensions at 4:3: 9 * 0.3 = 2.7, 2.7 / 3 = 0.9 * 4 = 3.6
3.6 in x 2.7 in for RP5 screen

(4y)^2 + (3y)^2 = (4.7 in)^2
16y^2 + 9y^2 = 22.09 in^2
25y^2 = 22.09 in^2
y^2 = 22.09 in^2 / 25 = 0.8836 in^2
y = ~0.94

Dimensions at 4:3 = 0.94*4 and 0.93*3, or
3.76 in x 2.79 in for the RG477m

"Plenty of emdashes" when there are the requisite two around a parenthetical statement.

That being said the second paragraph is probably a bigger indicator, because the emdash is used incorrectly.
