NBA history set tonight by these gladiators:
1) First game to have 3 triple-doubles recorded.
2) First game to have multiple triple-doubles by bench players.
3) Lowest +/- ever recorded by someone who posts a triple-double (Jahmai Mashack, -46, beating previous record of -30)

Sickos only.

Was looking up something on Basketball Reference and there are four active NBA players with 1.0000 Hall of Fame probability scores. Who are they?

@FastEddieFear You’ll have two intersection points on two circles after the second hint. It says “exact distance”. It will be in one of two places by week 2
English
You get 52 clues, but only need two to narrow its location down to 2 spots. (Assuming the box is in one locked position)

Absolutely not????

@AlZeidenfeld Let me grab a compass here. My geocaching experience is woefully out of date.

@loubigs1 @IsaacPunts I mean, I would’ve practiced hitting more.

@IsaacPunts Most would play in the mlb if it allowed gay dance contests

Okay I have a legitimate question as a football guy who doesn’t watch baseball.
How good at baseball are these guys actually? Like is this college level ball? Minor league level? Somewhere in between?
Outside the gimmick how good is the play here?
Matthew Nichol@MatthewNichol5
This is not baseball.

Wait, no way? Really??
How could that be?

New economic analysis finds that nearly all Americans will pay more in taxes this year, with just the top 5% of earners getting a tax cut.

@TheDunkCentral He is, without exaggeration, one of the best rim-defending guards ever.

Derrick White Appreciation Post:
He has more total blocks than players like Brook Lopez, Alex Sarr, Isaiah Stewart, Bam Adebayo, Onyeka Okongwu, and Jalen Duren 🤯

@FastEddieFear would it be complex if iran was dropping the bombs on ny?

Every Trump supporter must be in one of two camps.
1) Someone who supports him and most or all things he does, but believes there is some line that should not be crossed; or
2) A brainwashed cult member who thinks Trump is divine and can never err.
Is there anyone who thinks they are in camp 1) above, but does not think "a whole civilization will die tonight" is over that line?
Seriously, I'm not a fan of his, but I go out of my way to be open to opposing schools of thought. Can anyone explain to me how this is good or acceptable? This is - literally - the President of the United States publicly threatening massive war crimes, including the murder of millions of people, most of whom are innocent non-combatants.
Maybe this can be a unifying moment? In our incredibly fractured society, maybe we can join hands and say THIS is fucked up?

That's not exactly a quick response, I'm afraid. I'll still try to explain what I mean a bit though.
Global geopolitics and economics is so multi-variable that a huge military operation like this has just thousands of significant effects.
So the list you would get would have entries like:
37: Good for the environment as a massive increase in the price of oil spikes interest and investment in alternative energy sources;
and
51: Polarizing event gives American voters an excellent litmus test for midterm candidates;
and
63: America's flouting of international calls for restraint leads to more countries turning to different source for arms sales as opposed to DOD/US. This has the potential to reorient US economy towards more important domestic concerns;
etcetera.
I'm saying it's complex.
The President of the US saying publicly, "I WILL KILL MILLIONS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE" isn't quite so complex.

@FastEddieFear @LattimerSt2266 what are the 100 good things about it?
English
No, of course, not. But a necessary precept to the argument is the fact that for someone to consider this a mistake by Trump, they must consider it possible that Trump could make a mistake. Clearly some people do not consider that possible.
I am very optimistically putting it up there to try to prevent some of the dumbest counterarguments.

@LattimerSt2266 @FastEddieFear do you think the cult members consider themselves cult members?
English
@ShipMyMoneyDFS I often have similar thoughts.
We never knew how good we had it.
English
I apologize for every time I called G.W. dumb when I was like 14. I had no idea
English
@LattimerSt2266 Yeah, to be clear, I'm fine with the concept of war in Iran. There are absolutely 100 good and 100 bad things about it.
The president of the U.S., on social media, threatening literal genocide, is my issue.
English
@FastEddieFear As a trump voter who is not a cult member, choosing war in Iran over domestic issues was that line, everything after is just a cherry on top.

@kotosan_dayo 386-20 (Could’ve got a 386-33, but then I could only afford the 20mb hard drive and not the 30mb hard drive.)

Maynard James Keenan has shared a message of support for his longtime friend and former classmate, General Randy George, who was recently ousted by Pete Hegseth.
"As long as I can remember, I wanted to be an artist in some way. Visual, musical, performing. I wasn’t certain what, just that the arts were where I was supposed to be. However, after H.S. graduation, the reality of tuition set in. My family was living on a teacher's salary. There wasn't much left over after bills, and grants and student loans weren't going to cover it.
"So I joined the Army to take advantage of the Army College Fund. As it turns out, I excelled in the military, which was not what I was expecting. I was awarded Distinguished Graduate from both basic and advanced training. Then, after many, many rounds of testing, I was chosen to attend U.S.M.A.P.S. and to apply to the U.S. Military Academy, West Point.
"As you can imagine, most of my classmates at West Point Prep were there with a singular mission: to be a West Point graduate and serve in our military. Focus, drive, a plan, and zero compromise. I, on the other hand, was one of the few with doubts and inner conflict.
"So when my heart spoke louder than the outside influencers and I declined my appointment to West Point, most of those around me saw it as a huge mistake. But a handful were very supportive. They knew me well enough to respect that decision. One of those supportive classmates was my cross-country teammate, Randy George.
"If you've been wading through the flood of news lately, you may recognize that name. Randy went on to become a four-star general and Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army. He was approaching his 40th year of service.
"I can't even imagine how disappointed and upset he must feel for having been “asked” to retire early. So I'm just here to return that favor of support. We're here for you, Randy. Might be time for a beer or three. See you soon."
