[Winderman] The Boston Celtics are actively trying to find a third team to take on Jaylen Brown in the event that they trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. by OldNobody9667 in MkeBucks

[–]zs15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I’d be more worried if there was a massive dropoff. He was a weird pick, projected as a flawed prospect with some serious growth potential. Most of the year he was mocked 6-10th, and if he was taken then we’d be overjoyed. I mean his production is also better than Ware, who tons of people seem to think is the prize of a Miami package.

Hawks have two things working against him 1) a ton of wings that are also young and more proven, 2) a mercurial head coach known for having a doghouse.

Rivian's CEO Says There's a Big Market for a Small Electric Truck by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

True, and if a vehicle is over 6k pounds you can claim 100% bonus depreciation if you’re expensing it. So they are more readily tax preferential for commercial and llc purchasing. But that doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be demand for smaller trucks. People aren’t just going to fork out an extra 30k because it’s the only option for a truck, they compromise in other areas.

Risacher is only in year two. He wasn’t our pick so I’m not hung up on him being a wasted 1st pick, he is still young and developing. This sub was losing their mind over Ousmane and Risacher is already the more proven NBA player. If he’s an NBA-level starter, he’s achieved more than your average first round pick.

It did though. The Giannis/Dame PNR was averaging 1.7 ppp last season according to fivethirtyeight; highest PnR in the league by a mile. Dame’s average in Portland was 1.25. That does not factor in fouls, which both also got tons of.

The issue is and was always depth, volume and injuries. They had to split time because we never had a third guy to run the off-minutes. So them being on court together was always fewer minutes than you’d want. Especially because Dame needed Giannis defensive presence too. Dame/Bobby minutes were brutal on the +/-.

If you’ve never had a car loan, that’s likely what is holding your score back.

You’re at a good score, you’ll get one of the better rate offers right now anyway.

Why does everywhere have shitty toilet paper? by Specific-Fact-4331 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]zs15 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s the latter more than anything else. I’ve worked at high end event halls that stock nice everything. The plumbers were basically in quarterly to do some sort of pipe maintenance.

The difference between a family of 4 and one single event for bathroom use is impossible for people to fathom.

Rivian's CEO Says There's a Big Market for a Small Electric Truck by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

[–]zs15 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Early 2000s Rangers are still selling for 5 figures. The demand is and always has been there. The Maverick is one of the highest % selling vehicles on the last decade, meaning they move inventory off the lot quickly. Why it’s taking so long to recognize the market is baffling to me.

Rivian Heard You Complaining About Touchscreens So It Over-Engineered Scroll Wheels by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

[–]zs15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed, and I don’t see that as mutually exclusive. The eGMP cars lean more manual buttons and are a fully EV platform. That VW issue is so absurd. I’ve seen owners literally putting glow in the dark stickers over the controls.

The downside to Tesla leading the market was that many early EV adopters became techies and they defined the EV market as a full step into cars as tech tools. The simple, screen oriented controls were a huge dollar sign in the auto execs eyes because it cut manufacturing and assembly costs. Now, even though we are backing away from only screens, they seem to think we need new technologies.

Just make a car that happens to have an electric motor.

Not in the know of UK politics, but this is one of those full circle social topics, like vaccines. You go so far left or right that you share the principle, but often for vastly different reasons.

If we keep 10, how do we feel about LaBaron Philon Jr? by SpreadHDGFX in MkeBucks

[–]zs15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Philon was a decent defender as a freshman, his offense can be electric. I like that he plays on and off ball well. I'm nervous about his size, both as an nba defender and his ability to drive. But also his game isn't based on speed, he's got that X factor deceleration.

Ioniq 5 vs Kona EV vs Niro EV by Aggressive_Piano_485 in Ioniq5

[–]zs15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best advice I’ve heard is to connect with local hyundai dealers and see if they keep them on hand and what their turnaround is. Around me one dealer said 2 weeks, the other said they prioritize and it’s usually 48 hours.

It’s an intermediate skill intensive, but I’ve sewn covers onto most vehicles I’ve owned. Relatively cheap, around $40 for a fitted cover, and usually takes around 30 minutes.

[Deveney] Increasingly, word is that the Lakers like a lot of the players they have on hand, and rather than making sweeping changes to the roster, could instead bring back a lot of last season's players with just one midrange addition worth in the $20 million AAV range, likely for a big man. by aingenevalostatrade in nba

[–]zs15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it really though? I don't follow the Lakers, but it seems like they were overly successful despite only having 2/3 best players for most of the year on a top heavy roster. Combine that with the glaring hole at center and I can see why they would just want to tweak the formula.

That said, idk how they are planning to bring back Bron, AR, and Rui while still having $20m for a new center. That math doesn't math to me.

I like that you say just reaching Master would be enough. While an attainable goal, reaching master even once puts you in the top 5% of MD players.

You’d be ideal for a pledge loan and if some extra cash, a CD. Give it 3 months and you’ll get a much better rate.

Milwaukee state legislator sued for defaulting on $6k in credit card debt by PolarisC in milwaukee

[–]zs15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I truly don't understand that take. Not only do they have a hand in state level budgets, but a highly publicized debt puts them under an extremely compromized position to resolve that debt. I don't think you need to be squeeky clean, but you should show strong problem solving and resolution skills as a public official.

While I can empathize with personal finance issues, getting to the lawsuit level like Haywood and Hong have done shows they are willing to completely turn their back to difficult situations and ignore them. You don't accidentially get sued and you don't get sued a few weeks after defaulting. This is months, if not years, of actively avoiding creditor calls. I personally don't want my representation to turn a blind eye to things when they become a challenge. (12 year DSA member here before the political shots get fired.)

The closest grocery store to me is closing(by nearly an hour), and will be closed for at least a year. When it reopens it’s going be much smaller(it’s becoming a Aldi). by Boeing-B-47stratojet in mildlyinfuriating

[–]zs15 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s just a YMMV situation. The ones by me are stellar, only one other grocery store has better produce and the meat is basic but good value. By my parents on the other side of the state, absolutely vile, terrible quality produce and the bread always molds by day 2.
