  1. Past hour
  2. My company laid off 9,000 or so Americans effective April 17, so the numbers for next month will be reflective. Go to any consulting company subreddit and there’s evidence that this is widespread. I know Accenture, Deloitte, BAH, and dozens of others did the same. But we have over 10,000 openings in India. Thanks for your explanation of what I’m sure is government’s best good faith attempt at measuring employment numbers, but I don’t believe them for a second. All the WARN act did was make companies reduce headcount in stealth mode. I’m in Federal markets, and if those job losses were included then we’d have an even more dramatic shitty employment numbers. I’m inclined to not believe a single metric reported by this administration. Our own VP of government affairs, a former chief of staff to the secretary of commerce under a previous administration reported in an internal call this week that job losses at the federal level are in the hundreds of thousands. Actually, your explanation explains perfectly why the mass firings took place later in the month. And what about the hordes of contractors who simply had stop work orders?
  3. Does she like Temu shit? No mas Temu
  4. What lead to the uncompetitive series was no one other than Luka being able to score. As it was we held Boston to under their season average and playoffs average in points scored every game except one. Luka's defense wasn't the main problem.
  5. Is it too soon in the season to say "Fire Espada and shoot Tanner Scott into the sun"?
  6. This thread is in rare form tonight. I guess losing checks notes two in a row calls for desperate measures.
  7. We’re wearing these fucking old men out, just like you would expect over a 7-game series. if there was a bare-knuckle, fight-until-you-drop tournament Ime Udoka would win it without question. He has built his team in his image…
  8. Just got home from Ministry, Nitzer Ebb, and Die Krupps. This was great top to bottom. Die Krupps hasn’t played Austin since ‘96 even though Jurgen lives here. They killed it. I would love to see a full set. Nitzer Ebb is always good for just being two dorks on stage. Ministry is only playing Twitch, With Sympathy, and earlier Wax Trax singles on this tour and it absolutely killed. Yeah, Al has to use a vocal track to keep up but the crowd loved it and the reworked versions of the songs were great.
  9. I don’t think he will be playing tomorrow. Gaspo might not be either.
  10. 1,2,4.
  11. I mean, we could just try not walking them. This series is defined by free passes and strikeouts.
  12. It needs a split thumb. Like the 'Da Vinci' painting the Saudi's have.
  13. That was just one possibility that would have led to Luka being the best player on a championship team. My point was exactly what you stated in your next sentence - it seems pretty clear that Luka can win a title as the best player on his team, because Dallas came pretty close to doing it already.
  14. Adams post game presser is awesome. What a gift to be able to acquire this guy.
  15. no one know what you're talking about, but you're a fucking moron.
  16. No disagreement there. However, the solution (look to hit the ball up the middle or opposite field) also addresses everything but the FB up in the zone. When you're committed to going oppo, you see the ball longer because you let it travel (more time to lay off), your hips stay closed longer which extends your ability to cover the outer half (especially low/away), etc. There's really only one swing-and-miss pitch and that's a heater in or up/in. In contrast, when you're playing hero ball and trying to pull everything, everything BUT the FB can be a swing-and-miss pitch (you're out in front), your hips open early, you can't barrel up the outer half, and you're just early in general (which means you have to decide sooner...less time to see it). When I was a kid, I remember my dad wouldn't wrap up BP until I hit 50 straight balls to the right side of 2B. If I was in a slump, he'd up it. It absolutely works.
  17. Uhhhhh yea man I don’t think so
  18. Since he's a New Zealander I assume the "Haka Adams" joke has been made already. Hopefully he can make more than 50% of his FTs on Sunday because anytime we get momentum sending Adams to the line has been Golden State's strategy to break our momentum
  19. There may be a disconnect between Schloss and Tulo plate philosophy. Tulo was always an aggressive hitter and Schloss wants his guys to have OBPs 100 points higher than their BAs. Well everyone would like to walk more but not everyone can. Guys end up always behind in the count and taking pitches early in the count that they can hit. Schloss will get players in here that fit his philosophy. Tulo was extremely important in his transition here and keeping the roster together and selling them on what Schloss is building. I mean think about it if you're a young player, a guy like Tulo is basically a god and he passed up some good HC opportunities to have a chance to learn from Schloss. That's a pretty strong endorsement and one of the reasons we've gotten off to the start we have imo
