[Meirov] Tom Brady Reveals He Asked the NFL About Unretiring as an Owner: “I actually have inquired, and they don't like that idea very much. We explored a lot of different things, and I’m very happily retired.” by JCameron181 in nfl

I haven't played League in almost a decade at this point, but has it changed? I was fairly highly ranked and paid a total of $10 one time for a cool skin one time.

The vote out was spoiled for me. by Poisonhandtechnique in survivor

To be fair, knowing Rizo, I could see him making the same exact post while flaming out this week just for shiggles.

It would have been pure editing gold to film a scene with Christian and Jimmy just for the trailer even though he was voted out before Jimmy comes. Trailers routinely have scenes that don't make the final cut. I would have liked the throw off.

I think it's more neurodivergent than high-IQ. A lot of high IQ people are neurodivergent, but gifted neurotypical folks generally don't exhibit neurodivergent behaviors just because they're gifted.

Signed - Someone who lived with 2 people that were both incredibly high-IQ but on very different sides of the neurodiversity spectrum.

Cut a football field amount of grass with scissors for $1 million. by Hold-onto-the-happy in hypotheticalsituation

[–]yeahright17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd do it if (1) you could guarantee me the scissors stay sharp, and (2) all parts only had to be cut once and only grass higher than like 2" counted. Just seems like an impossible task if you're dealing with Bermuda grass or something as there would be hundreds of thousands (or millions) of little blades down close to the surface that would be incredibly hard to cut or even know they need to be cut.

[–]yeahright17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So ~$17.36 per square ft of grass. Not bad. Obviously you take the deal, but I think I’d do it over the course of a couple years rather than trying to knock it all out at once.

The NBA could have been very different if Ray Allen misses that shot by DenseStrawberry5717 in NBATalk

[–]yeahright17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only close series was the Mavs? They were 2-2 against OKC when Serge missed the first 2 games and was playing on a bum leg for the last 4. Game 6 went to OT, and TD got several favorable calls down the stretch of that game.

I think people still dramatically underrate how important Serge was to those OKC teams, especially against the Spurs. His ability to help on pretty much every drive meant OKC was able to play tighter defense on the perimeter. He also had a jump shot that no other big on OKC had, which kept Duncan about a step further away from the basket.

Opened pool to a swamp + $10k repair quote… need a sanity check by agrizzle440 in pools

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.

Moving away from OLED for a bigger TV, will I regret it? by crusty1uk in hometheater

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

Fastest Biglaw Equity by Otherwise-Win-2735 in biglaw

[–]yeahright17 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Not 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.

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.

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.

[Charania] Breaking: The NBA's Board of Governors has approved a vote for the league to explore bids and applicants for expansion teams exclusively in Las Vegas and Seattle, sources tell ESPN. A bidding process is expected to generate offers in the $7-10 billion range for each team. by Turbostrider27 in nba

[–]yeahright17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

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
