  1. Was looking at the Siakam trade more. Interesting that Jarace Walker is dominating down in the G League.

    24/4/4 on 50/51/85 splits.

    I will be interesting to see what they do with him.

  2. I bought this a few years ago (it was non-playable with all the wiring f’d up). I’ve messed with it every so often between time under my bed. It’s finally finished and playable.

    I replaced the pickups with Seymour Duncans, switched to locking tuners, changed out the bridge, drilled holes to go from a single volume/tone to volume/tone for each pickup and of course re-wired it. I also added a new pickguard and back plate. Basically everything except the wood is new.

    I wanted something a bit “metal” :)

    It actually sounds great, especially at the low end.

  3. Day 2. Now they routed me to Japan from LAX. It’s been a comical 24 hours to get this far. Now 20 more hours to go.

    The guy at Singapore Air was like “you can probably get your hotel reimbursed by United.” I laughed out loud.

    BTW. LAX is the worst airport in the world (and yes I have been to LaGuardia and JFK).

  4. Anyone been at airport today?

    AUS was ok to get checked in and through security. But lots of delays. My flight to LAX has a 5 hour delay which is going to cause me to miss the LAX - Singapore flight. So…drink $12 shiners and eat heavily sauced Earl Campbell brisket tacos and hope for the best….
  5. GOATs: Jordan, Wilt, Russell, Kareem
    Icons: Kobe, Bird, Magic, Shaq, Lebron
    Innovators: Duncan, Steph, Jokic, Dirk, Dr J

    Top 14 by tiers, no order.

    Goats are players who were considered to be the greatest of all time when they played or after.

    Icons are guys who are synonymous with the league and can be seen identified by even non-fans.

    Innovators are players who changed the game or were totally unique.

    Arguments: Hakeem (innovators), KD (innovators), Giannis (innovators), KG (innovators), West (icon)

  6. Other fun stats - Wallace had a career high of 18 boards in a game. Russell never had a season where he averaged less than 18.6 (22.5 for career). Wallace had a career high in assists per game of 2.8. Besides his rookie season that would have been the lowest of Russell’s career (4.3 career).

    Good troll though

  7. Being mentally ill and supporting trump seem to go hand and hand …..
     

    Who would have thought that when Reagan started defunding mental health services it was to help to secure future voters.

    It turned out to be a perfect setup for MAGA and a huge boon for gun manufacturers.

  8. It sucks to get embarrassed by a below-average team like the Packers, but all this showed me was the 49er blowout was going to happen again. This team sucked in every big game they played this year except the Lions game, I guess.
    Honestly, even though Dak sucked, the defense was horrible. Dan Quinn clearly one foot out the door in Seattle and Parsons needs to shut his trap next year until he does something in the playoffs.

    To be fair, they sucked in the Lions game too…

  9. Dallas defense has stopped GB only one drive, correct? Believe they punted one time in the 1st qtr. This unit stood no chance against any remaining team left in the playoffs. Every team in the NFC was going to gash them with ease.

    Punted and the guy fair caught it at the 6. Even that was a fuck up.
