  1. The handles are good for that.
  2. There's a single player mode where he plays against bots. You set the ability level of the bots.
  3. They're trying to maximize efficiency by prioritizing the 3 pt shot over 2 and the corner 3 over the above the break 3s. I'm just waiting for the tipping point of having a team dominate the inside game and having the higher FG% from close to the basket render the 3 pt shooters ineffective.
  4. I find it mildly annoying but I don't mind the increased 3 pt shots as much as others. I enjoy seeing the strategy evolve over time.
  5. the kids (ages 7 to 13), their cousins, and their friends have been playing boomerang fu every time they get together. it's a simple multiplayer game where the objective is to be the last man standing.
  6. Assad lived in a 1980s Hilton?
  7. Didn't someone here post the ring footage of the one in Leander during the pandemic? Forget what thread it was on.

    Watched the first episode yesterday, appreciate the Loving reference.
  9. Dude took gift cards as bribes. Totally untraceable!! I hadn't heard about the five other employees being charged so that's news to me, thanks.
  10. No doubt, they were systemically turning a blind eye to it. Only one guy was dumb enough to actually take bribes to do it. I don't remember if they flat out didn't have a money laundering team or if their standards were too low but they definitely have one now.
  11. Just remembered this and checked the order status: as of this morning it's only left the Shenzhen port.
  12. Your point stands without having to exaggerate numbers. Their total yearly revenue is around $30B, net profit is around half of that. There was one individual found to have knowingly laundered money. He took personal bribes. He was given federal prison time. No one else was charged and the company was still fined (the $3b you said, a record amount) as part of the agreement to settle the remaining charges of running afoul of compliance.
  13. Yeah, silver lining or whatever but we ARE so deep it's kinda shocking to think that even though our high scorers were Klay and Naji (and not Kyrie or Luka) we were still within single digits with a few minutes left in the game. We're so close, just need a few minor tweaks that'll take us to the top.
  14. Did he really say that? I saw where he said he's got more pt in mind for him in future games but this is the first I'm hearing regrets at not playing him more earlier.
  15. No PJ was a recipe for whatever happened last night. Outrebounded, outhustled. He's so important. So is Maxi. At least, the non Aug 2024 to now version of Maxi. Missed Jones Jr something fierce tonight. In the playoffs he was the primary on SGA and he kept him under control. Followed him through screens and didn't let their role players put our bigs and backline in 2v1s like they did all night last night. Yeesh. I know we harp on Kidd a lot but it's well deserved. Why oh why does he not tell Kyrie and Luka to screen for each other? They're doubling them every time they touch the ball anyway. Put them in screen action and force OKC to make the decision of whom to guard. Do this especially when Gafford's out there and not Lively. I hate how stubborn Kidd is about letting the players figure it out. Give them some direction. Naji had a great game. OMAX is earning more minutes. Klay, good game offensively and defensively. OKC came out wanting this game so much more than we did. I hope we play them in the WCF, it's going to be a fun series.
  16. Love it. Was surprised we were one of the last in on fried.
  17. He's played 6 seasons and is looking for a 7th??
  18. Sacks hates OpenAI. This is going to go well.
  19. It's so weird. He'd been so bad the last year and a half.
  20. Hilarious CDC longcatted Sankey. We're gonna need a statue of him when it's all said and done.
  21. I dunno if that's real or not but it's too good to pass on. We'll find out in a couple weeks. Definitely used a one time CC #.
  22. Surely that got cleared up pretty quickly...?
  23. Just a product of the system. Medical professionals in the UK do make significantly less though while still being top tier academics and researchers*. *Initially anyway. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here- my impression is their institutional push for discovery isn't as strong due to a lower reward ceiling quelling motivation.
  24. Like most of these threads, you're the only one arguing my dude. I had to wait two months here in Texas to see my GI for a follow up on a surgery so I don't know if two months is acceptable or not to see a neurologist after several trips to the GP. I will say my friend's mom was in the ER before Thanksgiving having what they thought was a stroke but turns out she has a mass in her brain and her surgery is scheduled for next week. MD Anderson.
  25. My experience is different. My family's English. I was born there. We moved to the States when I was little but my extended family still live there and I still have an NHS number. We go back quite often, once every year or once every two years. I've been sick there before and needed to see a doctor, but even in the second most populous city in the UK the next available appt for a GP was four days out. My aunt had a hysterectomy before COVID. Her wait time was 18 months to be scheduled. My uncle had to wait 8 months for a root canal. But he's Royal Navy so I don't know if they have a separate service for them like our VA. My 29 yo BIL had a benign brain tumor. Got on the list to see a neuro and was seen within 2 months. Waited another 3 for surgery to have it removed but he died on the table. Private insurance isn't much better. My SIL had private but elected to go with NHS when it came time to deliver her first baby. Two of my cousins are doctors with a third in med school. One's a pediatrician and the other's I forget what. There's real frustration from their patients about their access to care. It's one of those things you have to live with though.
