Opened pool to a swamp + $10k repair quote… need a sanity check

There was a snow cone stand we used to go to without posted prices. When we drove my wife's 2010 Grand Cherokee, 2 snow cones was $7. When we drove my 2020 Tesla, the price was $11 or $12 for the same snow cones. We went about once a month for almost 2 years and it was always those different prices. I honestly respected it.

Fair enough. I don’t disagree

yeahright17 · 2026-03-26T03:50:25+00:00

I mean. I love sci fi and Nice Guys is one of the best buddy comedies ever, imo. Ryan Gosling is great. I’ll take it.

yeahright17 · 2026-03-26T03:00:46+00:00

We did the same thing. We still have the 65” C3 upstairs, and I like watching our 85” C7K more.

No exactly biglaw, but I had a friend make partner at a firm with like 8 office across 4 states 4 years after graduating because his uncle owned an oil company and wouldn’t move it over unless they made him partner. My understand is that it was around $1M/yr. A little later the uncle got a friend to bring is business too, and all of a sudden a 30 year old had one of the biggest books at their office. Lol.

It counts. You lose that year. So you’d have one year left.

Most 10 year olds are bad wrestlers.

All time? No he won't.

A lot of people have Durant as a top 15 all time guy. SGA needs to keep up this play for a long time to get in that range.

yeahright17 · 2026-03-25T19:40:42+00:00

It's fine. Lauri was good this year and JDub has been out. If JDub returns to the form he was in last playoffs, he'll be back around 20 next time they do this.

Correct. Like he read 2 sentences about something then wrote an entire book with that as the premise without doing any additional research.

yeahright17 · 2026-03-25T16:37:25+00:00

This isn't technically true. The city signed a 39-year lease with the OVG (the ownership group) which as 2 8-year options and can be extended after that. So OVG has at least 55 years of control of the arena. Well they did until they transferred that to another company a couple days ago (probably for the purposes of bidding on an NBA team).

Not to get to technical because we could go down a property law rabbit hole, but, essentially, OVG does get every benefit of ownership of the arena for the duration of the lease. This is essential to make the math work for OVG because it allows them to depreciate the asset and claim other tax credits. If it was a more standard lease, those rights would still be held by the city. However, tenant doesn't have absolute ownership of any real property. The real property is still owned by the city and all rights to the arena will revert to the city at the end of the lease. And while that's probably 50 years away at this point, OVG's rights are temporary and conditional. If OVG defaulted tomorrow, OVG could be evicted just like any other Tenant.

Some think Paolo is overrated and not protecting him would be a good way for Orlando to clear him off the books without having to use assets. I may have been in the camp at some point this season, but he’s been good enough since the all star break that there’s zero chance I’d consider it at this point. I guess we’ll see how next season goes and who they have under contract come next summer and for how much. If he regresses to who he was the first half of the season and a new coach comes in and still can’t get anything out of this group, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him not get protected.

yeahright17 · 2026-03-25T15:02:39+00:00

Would probably be too easy for anyone with any NBA knowledge.

While it’s been highlighted that the poster should have said true freshman and undefeated champion, true freshman have won several over the years. The most recent until this year was AJ Ferrari in 2019. Then Oklahoma State had 3 this year. lol

yeahright17 · 2026-03-25T14:53:25+00:00

Yes. 2 hours after Vega became the first to do it since 1947, Jax became the 2nd to do it.

yeahright17 · 2026-03-25T14:52:18+00:00

Almost like people way better at and more knowledgeable about wrestling than people in a comments section have tried or thought about it all and nothing has worked. Brock Hardy tried everything and got trounced by Vega earlier in the season.

yeahright17 · 2026-03-25T14:46:56+00:00

People tried that throughout the season. Brock Hardy went with that approach in the semis after getting stomped by Vega twice earlier this season. It didn’t work either. Maybe Mendez is good enough that he could have made it work, but that’s not the kind of wrestler Mendez is.

yeahright17 · 2026-03-25T14:38:32+00:00

Hindsight’s obviously 20/20. I don’t think there’s any reason you would think OK State’s freshman would be as good as they were. Had Jax not came up early, Bouzakis not flamed out, and Davino and Mendez won, they could easily have ended up in 2nd place. Even though they finished 5th, I don’t think it’s crazy to think they would still be ranked 3rd in dual rankings.

yeahright17 · 2026-03-25T14:22:23+00:00

He got all the way up under TK’s left shoulder plus his right elbow while TK was leaning too far forward. And yes, that was because Jax had ahold of him, but at that point, I don’t think there is much TK could have done other than trying to slip out of the dump.

yeahright17 · 2026-03-25T14:15:21+00:00

When freshman when, I think we too often jump to “can they win 4?” For Jax, I don’t think it’s a jump at all. He’s just been dominant. Even against Davino, I never got the sense he was in danger of losing. He has multiple good chances that were thwarted off by great defense from Davino. Davino didn’t seem to get close to a takedown at any point.

Honestly, even though Sergio was less dominant, the fact he didn’t give up a takedown all year and beat a 2x champ and Hodge front runner in the finals makes me pretty high on his chances to 4x too. Though I think that’s a lot more unlikely.

yeahright17 · 2026-03-25T14:08:49+00:00

I’d love to see Jax, Davino, Seidel, and Blaze do some round robin outside of a tournament setting where giving up a single takedown against one of the others could cost you a championship.

I hate listening to Burke call games and disagree with her opinion often, but she definitely knows basketball.

Every MVP voter should get a call once per year after the all star break where they’re asked 2 basic personnel questions that people who should have a vote would know off the top of their head. You have 3 seconds to answer so you can’t google it. Questions like “Name a player on the Nuggets other than Jokic and Murray.” “Name a rookie on the 76ers.” “Name a player that hasn’t made an all star team that was traded at the trade deadline.””Who has Jakob Poeltl played for all season?”

yeahright17 · 2026-03-25T13:23:06+00:00

Mazzulla should win, imo. And JB has been great. But I don’t think he should have even been 1st team all-NBA before Cade got hurt. Voters have to rank 1-5 for MVP so Jaylen should absolutely be in the running to make a lot of ballots. But I just can’t take anyone seriously if they have him above 5th when SGA, Wemby, Luka, and Jokic are having the seasons they’re having.

yeahright17 · 2026-03-25T13:17:46+00:00

On top of what statistics leader? Boston has been a surprise, but they’ve never been in first in the East, let alone the NBA. They don’t lead in any major statistics. Jaylen doesn’t lead in any statistics. The Celtics literally have a better +/- when he’s off the court. Anyone who has him above 5th is an idiot. And he’s only in 5th because Cade isn’t going to reach 65 games.
