This is surprisingly correct. I can't think of another team off the top of my head that was THIS dominant and stacked talent-wise.
2002 Los Angeles Sparks.

I tried, but failed, to find how many 3s they attempted each game this season
42/g in regular season; 14th/28 in percentage
40/g in playoffs, 14th/16 in percentage lulz

41% shooting, 24% from 3s, 6 assists to 5 turnovers... Maybe he should've shot more

First time I've had to to do this in 20 years. The company I hope to interview with wants a cover letter.
What do I say in this thing?
So, like, your personal and stylized interpretation of an original letter ?

I love doing DIY stuff so I hope to be able to either find a house to work on or have one custom built that I can slowly tweak a bit. I have a million ideas in my head, but no time to do any of them.
Would also like to have a car that I can tinker with.
What's your favorite Buick?

i struggle to give half a shit about conference alignments and uniform design

"Lincoln was extremely strong, and a wrestler.
Derisively called "rail splitter" because he split railroad ties [for fences] as a youth, Lincoln was uncommonly strong ... [Once, a]s the presidential party lounged on the deck, Lincoln playfully demonstrated that in "muscular power he was one in a thousand," possessing "the strength of a giant." He picked up an ax and "held it at arm's length at the extremity of the [handle] with his thumb and forefinger, continuing to hold it there for a number of minutes. The most powerful sailors on board tried in vain to imitate him."
Lincoln also got physical at his first political speech ever at Pappsville, right outside Springfield. A fight broke out in the crowd, and Lincoln saw a friend about to get pummeled. Wrote historian Donald: "Quitting the platform, he strode into the audience, seized the accident by the neck and the seat of his trousers, and, as one witness remembered, threw him twelve feet away." At 6-foot-4 and 214 pounds, he was "strong enough to intimidate any rival."
Lincoln was undoubtedly the strongest of all the presidents, and a fearsome wrestler and fighter."
Did I ever tell you about the time Abe Lincoln sold me into slavery?
He puts me on a ship to Senegal, right? And I'm chained to a pipe. Meanwhile, ol' Lincoln, he's back in the States siring three beautiful children with my wife!

What kinda stupid fucking question is this? You got three dudes over 70 and two over 90, then you have Obama at 56 years old. He'd beat those old fucks senseless.
I got 100$ on the old fucks.

if Kerry had won, one imagines his chin could withstand a decent beating

You just have to laugh because if the naive Britons didn't learn a damn lesson from the tales of sir Lancelot of the past decade, they're gonna run into it head on , probably 6mo-a few years from now, when the armor of Sky falls apart

One issue I really have with TLJ, which includes the scene we're talking about here, is how Rian seemingly wants to have his cake and eat it, too. Everyone was praising him for blowing up Star Wars' tropes, boring old storyline, the Skywalkers, etc., but he really doesn't.
Yup.
Rewatched Rogue One yesterday. Fantastic movie as a standalone. Enjoyed it way more than TFA. And felicity jones is bae.

By and large modern cars sound worse and are needlessly complex. On mine when you swap the battery you have to "code it" into the computer. Everything's fucking integrated these days.
I miss it back when everything was plug and play. The heyday for cars is early 2000s. Supras. E39 M5s. Ferrari 550, when they still made manual transmissions. Before revised CAFE standards. Before auto start/stop technology. Before cylinder deactivation. When turbos had lag and still made whooshing noises. Etc.

shouldve been a draw, or a 48-47 for till at best. nooo fucking way 49-46 * 2 was a valid score.
then again, thomsons fault for not being more aggressive after being knocked down... even if counterstriking is his style. hes fighting on the road in a close 5 round fight...gotta take it in his hands

What he is saying is when a team ramps up their aggressiveness and the Refs swallow their whistles that is what starts the avalanche that happened last night. Just he didn't articulate it well. He is correct to a extent. A team shouldn't be able to get ultra aggressive defensively and not have the number of personal fouls go up as well, yet it happens time and time again in the NBA. Watching the game last night it was clear that GSW ramped up their defensive intensity in that 2nd qtr. However, GSW had 3 personal fouls in the 2nd qtr, the same amount they had in the first. Meanwhile Houston had 9 called in the first half. You can say it happens because a team plays at home, is the more desperate team so they play better, or whatever else. It does happen, and it seems to consistently happen in situations where a team like GSW is down in a series. Regardless, calls change how people play.
harden has been the largest beneficiary of the refereeing for the y ear ,and now its the refs fault they are losing...

Beware of Retirement
in Daily Texan
Posted
my employer cut the date for new entrants to their pension plan in the early/mid 2000s. those hired before that still get grandfathered in.
they still offer pension for mobile/expatriate population, which i took advantage of. my retirement pool is quite robust, although ive never sat around yearning for that date. i enjoy having a semblance of day to day structure.
the wife has zero private retirement savings tho, only the federal pension. its a cultural thing and it seems most of her cohort relies on that alone. so im trying to kickstart something for her. on the bright side, shes frugal in almost every aspect of her spending....
