partly cloudy and 97? that humidity's not going to feel nice.

Kidd doesn't emphasize anything. He doesn't steer the ship. I'd say he thinks his role is to make sure the ship doesn't crash or become beached but we had last year where we completely missed the playoffs so I don't know what he thinks he's doing.A big part of getting Luka rest is not going down double digits in the first quarter. It is surprising that Kidd doesn't make more of an emphasis at trying to control the pace of the game in the opening minutes. Even if for no other reason than being able to maintain some semblance of a rotation to allow Luka/Kyrie to rest nominal amounts This has been an issue that has plagued them all season.
Exum has been unplayable this series which has been a surprise. He was doing so well all year.Yea, a big issue is usually Kyrie does not get going until the 2nd half. They have to find a way to get him going earlier. I've been very surprised Exum has not gotten more run. He handles the ball reasonably well, at least enough to play 10-12 minutes. Even if you only bring him on for 2 minutes at a time, it seems like they could find ways to keep the ship afloat without running Luka and Kyrie into the ground. -

What happens here and how we feel about it is clearly more important than coverage of the actual conflict which is now boring and played out. “Israel kills more Palestinians who don’t even have guns to fight back anymore” can only be written so many ways before people get bored and have to make it about them.
quite the succinct explanation of why you haven't moved this entire thread to the CR. i'm so tired of having to wade through 5 pages of hot takes before stumbling on to news of actual events.

seems like she will do it again for another project.
$400,000 - $150k up front for capital improvements plus five-year incentive of up to $250,000 of 100% of sales tax revenues. 15 full time employees. buda's betting on them generating > $12mm in 5 years just to break even.

Yeah I was definitely talking about him and not Leclerc throwing 97.
Wait am I missing the sarcasm?
I'm not being sarcastic, just surprised a kid throwing 60-65 is a higher level of HS play than you remembered.

The problem is that for highway driving, the thing it is best at is essentially just normal autopilot, traffic aware cruise control with lane keep. But it is still bad with lane merges and construction. It moves over far too late for exits, often waiting until the very last minute. And it it just changes lanes too much in general (even when I select the option to minimize lane changes for the current trip). I actually find it worse than normal autopilot because of all the lane changes. I'd rather it only change lanes when I signal rather than just electing to do it on its own. Since there is no real competition for what it does, it technically does it best. But it just isn't useful and frankly isn't safe. Frankly, the thing I'm impressed most with is the new visualizations that give me a better idea of what the car is seeing. It is a really impressive tech demo with some genuinely interesting capabilities. But it isn't fully baked. And frankly, given Elon's approach, may never be.
yeah it has a lot of trouble with the construction on 35 between braker and 45 and finding the appropriate lanes. i did have one instance in a busier neighborhood where traffic was completely coned off in the direction i was going (they were installing a new sewer drain in the middle of the road) and there was a construction worker with the handheld sign telling you to stop or go due to traffic for both directions whittled down to one lane only on the left side of the road and FSD was able to handle waiting and then navigating into the "wrong" lane and back into the correct lane. that was impressive.
what level is your FSD set to? i have it on chill and i feel it doesn't change lanes enough. my wife has it on average and she also gets frustrated with the lack of lane changes.
i love the spatial visualization they rolled out a few months ago. it was a pleasant surprise being able to have almost a birds eye view of which spaces are occupied in parking lots. i still can't figure out how they're seeing ("seeing" maybe?) around corners i don't have an angle to.

So that does look a lot more difficult than I remember high school ball being. I guess Gallo would beat me in a hitting contest probably.
the kid throwing 65 is more difficult than you remember hs ball being? am i missing the sarcasm?

lol leclerc sucks

that is awesome. halfway through the video- i don't think he gets a hit but he could definitely walk.

I've played with it out of curiosity during the trial. It technically works. But you can't trust it all, so it doesn't work. Interesting tech demo; stupid thing to push publicly.
it's pretty great in traffic on 35, 360, or parmer. handles those situations marvelously. not impressed with its ability to handle intersections when turning right on red and stop signs. why does it need to stop so far back and then slowly inch forward? i just hit the accelerator. there are also intersections with right turn only lanes where FSD will try to change me into that lane even though i'm going straight through.
musk is obviously trying to generate FSD revenue. the uptake rate was 19% before the trial month. slashing to $100/mo or $12k one time with transferable rights will get more people to bite. i think they can get to 30% relatively easily. add in the chinese approval last night of FSD and i wouldn't bet against them. sure it's not completely autonomous but it's a whole lot better than anything else out there right now.

i've retested situations- some of them it learns (slowing down before dips or speed bumps) and some it doesn't (trying to go straight in a right turn lane).
the notification system is jarringly inept. the screen starts flashing and an audible beeping (not unlike a cockpit emergency beeping) notifies you to take over. i don't know if it'd be sufficient for someone not paying attention to the situation but FSD stops working if 1.) you fail to apply pressure to the steering wheel every 30 seconds or so and 2.) you look away from the road for more than ~8 seconds at a time. the third time it shuts down due to one of these conditions FSD is deactivated.

Not sure if KD has enough juice to put them over the top. I’d like for KDto leave Phoenix though. Maybe he’s best as a two in Dallas.
pass.

not a good look for the city of buda. wasted tax payer money on a couple with excellent bbq skills, but questionable business practices and no experience running a b&m eatery.
sounds like a disaster from the beginning.
not to surly 1%.

Unless he’s a total idiot with finances that should have provided a nice living. But they fucked that up and did $3m instead of their projected $10. That’s some dumbassery there.
The investors didn’t do their due diligence. Having tax liens and a bunch other questionable items should have been a red flag, besides the fact they had zero experience with bricks. And now a very messy pile of loans and liens and ownership issues and also a federal employee investigation.
So as often with barbecue, expansion exposes all the flaws. Being able to smoke great brisket never should imply any business acumen.buda's population: 16,000
buda's incentives to valentina's: $457,000
and buda's CEO says she'd do it again. that's special.

It would've been Luka, brunson, KP, Finney smith, and a bunch of role players. We'd have to score 130 every game just to be in it. Who's the leader on that team? It ain't Jason Kidd. Also we would've been in cap hell way past the first apron.Luka - Brunson - Porzingas >>> Luka - Kyrie - others
Too bad they couldn't make that work, would've been special. -
It's a combination of Terence Mann guarding him and Luka exerting himself physically on defense. Mann's basically hand checking Luka with impunity and on the other end Luka is getting really tired. I think it's alright, we need to keep playing how we are.something is so off about Luka... need him to come alive. Gaff absolutely has the basketball yips out there right now. Hoped Game 3 would break him out -
We owned the paint last game. Jason Kidd says let's come out and shoot threes.Maybe don't come out and go down 23 points in the first quarter, such a shitty start.
We come back from 31 down by playing defense and scoring in transition. Jason Kidd says let's let the Clips play offense 5 on 4.
We've got a guy getting blown by on defense every time. Jason Kidd says let's sit our two best rim defenders.
-
Easier to do when your guy's too scared to defend you for fear of fouling out. I'm so annoyed with Jason Kidd.Harden whipped our ass down the stretch. -
Kidd lost this game early in the 4th leaving Luka in. He wasn't contributing on offense and just hung around on defense. We had to compensate for him and gave up 8 easy points. He also picked up his fifth foul so he can't play defense now.

Sit Luka. Bring him back with 5 left. He's too tired and banged up to do anything.
-
Sorry but Luka needs to come out. He's tentative on defense.
-
How are the clippers able to challenge a non foul call?
-
Jason Kidd's called 2 timeouts. Possession after the first time out results in a turnover. Possession after the second timeout results in a shot clock violation. How good would we be if we had a coach who did his job?

Honestly, line should have moved the other way. Kawhi was a liability on both ends of the floorKawhi is ruled out for today. Just saw the line move 2 points. Dallas is now favored by 7.5.- 1
