  1. Arkansas has a budget surplus of $195M and recently cut taxes.
  2. Watched Durant in person on Sunday. He's just a few games off an injury but just went to shit spot and shot. 35 points and OKC did a great job defending him. It's just impossible. Speaking of that game, the wife (no pics) doesn't know anything about the NBA but when I told her Devin Booker was/is dating a Kardashian, she later went down the wormhole of players they had been with. She surprisingly declared that Booker was the only one to escape the Blake Hole of Kardashians.
  3. Unpopular opinion but if fully healthy, Phoenix beats GS.
  4. It's also not a good look to the average voter who doesn't pay attention to this stuff. "DeSantis tried to take over Disney!!??"
  5. I was talking about Orlando specifically but even the rest of Florida is similar but not as pronounced. Miami has no real industry outside of tourism. Jacksonville is the most bizarre. Over a million people but a small military based and some golf. LOT of retirees. (I fucking loathe Jacksonville.)
  6. I actually think Durant would have come back to OKC this last time for the redemption story but only if they would have been contenders. Good answer here:
  7. We have fairly good seats and at one point, Durant was going back and forth with a guy who had a neck tat. My wife said “You’re Kevin Durant and you’re arguing with a guy from Oklahoma with a neck tat.”
  8. Weird economy, too. It's either service workers or retirees. There is some money there but they aren't working, they're retired.
  9. We were at the game. The hate is kind of old at this point. I was hoping they'd give him an ovation at this point but no. Hate still keeps them warm at night. At one point, the wife said "KD looks bored and he scored 35 points." That's a good way to put it. OKC has major size issues. Their bigs are terrible. They have Chet, who they really like but as far as who is playing now, their starting center is a second round rookie PF. They didn't play any other big men tonight. They have some outstanding young wings who are potential all stars but their bigs are trash.
  10. I honestly don't understand Florida and I've been all over that state. Unless you have big money, you're in a random subdivision surrounded by strip malls and the weather is awful 9 months of the year. You think you go to the beach that you never do. Orlando is a big city in the middle of a massive swamp nowhere close to a beach. I get the warm weather but I'd take Phoenix long before anywhere in Florida.
  11. I honestly don't know what they should do. The Kyrie thing is easy. Offer him a team friendly deal and let him walk if he doesn't take. Sign and trade with big deal is another. Luka? I don't know. Easy answer is to surround him with complimentary players but those types don't seem to want to play with him. Blockbuster trade is another. Find a team with assets and/or lots of draft picks, I guess. But if you would have told me they wouldn't even make the generous win/loss % of the play in, I'd have thought you were insane.
  12. Kyle Rittenhouse looks like a 45 year old from a lower tier Texas suburb. Grand Prairie or some such. Has a calf tat. Drives a Jeep but never off roads. T shirt Aggy fan. We all know the type.
  13. Donald Trump seems like he's not very good at using hush money to cover things up. He paid out all of the money and we all found out about it anyway. Just one more thing he's a failure at.
  14. Don't blame us if we riot to install the host of The Apprentice as Dictator for Life.
  15. I like how you put that. I read the word "drinking" and thought you were talking about booze but you extended it. Booze is my problem but if you look at what people drink, it's awful. People love the Starbucks PSL's but those are 500 calories. Most everything at Starbucks that doesn't involve straight black coffee is bad. Same with sodas. You can rack up 1,000 calories a day just in drinking. These are the conversations this thread should be about. It's about diet management and tips from people and that, while hard, it's possible. The tips from people that have done it should help people who are trying. What I didn't like was people who were saying it's impossible. That tells people who are struggling that it's futile. It's not. It's about managing your life.
  16. I spent 30 seconds scrolling through this Catturd's feed. He seems like a shit bag but literally posts all day. Seems like he'd barely leave his house.
  17. From the head of Ozympic. It's basically a lifetime drug. (Of course it is.) She said available data suggests most individuals will recover most of their weight within five years of stopping Wegovy, and roughly 50% of their weight after two to three years. Some individuals may actually gain more weight after stopping the drug than they initially lost, Conde-Knape added. Studies have similarly shown weight rebound in people who stop taking Ozempic. Novo Nordisk makes both prescription drugs. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/29/people-taking-obesity-drugs-ozempic-and-wegovy-gain-weight-once-they-stop-medication.html Great story. Thanks for sharing. User name does not check out, though.
  18. Very good piece about how Twitter is quickly dying, with the new verification system maybe being the final blow. Example below. The blue checkmarks were always the most valuable piece but now they can be faked for $11. Why stay if you're them? https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/28/twitter-is-dying/
  19. Banchero will win ROY and he should because it's a full season award but Jalen Williams on OKC is a fucking baller. If you compare their stats the last few months, they're on par with Williams being significantly more efficient. Matchup nightmare, too. You can make the case that Banchero is Orlando's #1 guy so he gets the best defender but Williams is just as good when SGA isn't in the lineup. If there were a redraft, you'd have people making the case at Williams #1. He'd be #2 at worst. If that Chet dude is any good at all, they'd got a solid core 4 players. Their big men are complete trash, though. The main reason Giddey is getting so many rebounds is he's basically playing the 4. Good rebounder, though, but if he's the best rebounder, that says a lot about the other bigs.
