@pestctrlguy Sometimes you got to do what you gotta do but your not leading with or advertising that.

@michaeljarrett_ Sometimes we do lol

The new company in town knocked this street yesterday. Our rep had 3 sales before anybody even mentioned her. There’s levels to this. It’s a bad day to wake up and compete with us.

@Nittanylion02 It’s more so “we aren’t rushing” but you know he will jump at an opportunity if it presents itself.

I think the Presti press conferences are informative and very interesting but just a reminder after the 16-17 season he spoke extensively about it being a summer of internal development and then traded for Paul George about a week later so dont always take everything to heart

@TravisSkol He probably thought OKC was “fouling” him

I want to know exactly what went through Stephon Castle’s head at THIS precise moment. When he felt the basketball hit his back.

@edgaralandough The universe loves speed.

One of the fastest ways to change your life is to increase the speed at which you resolve tension. Return the call. Send the email. Have the conversation. Resolve faster. Watch your life speed up.

@TheDunkCentral Thunder says no.

Bleacher Report’s trade idea: Thunder receive: Evan Mobley 2026 No. 29 (from Cavaliers) $28.5 million trade exception $11.3 million trade exception Cavaliers receive: Giannis Antetokounmpo 2026 No. 43 (from Nets) Bucks receive: Jalen Williams Isaiah Joe Day'Ron Sharpe 2026 No. 17 (from Thunder) Nets receive: Isaiah Hartenstein Aaron Wiggins Sam Merrill Who says no?

@mtvsthewrld_ 🤣🤣🤣

Spurs in 4 just cause of this

@zariqxavier How would OKC not have their core? Lol

Expanding the lottery from 14 to 16 teams, fine. Not allowing teams to get No.1 back to back or pick in the top 5 for three consecutive years is UNBELIEVABLY bad. Instead of “promoting winning” you are creating franchises that will be perennially bad with no light at the end of the tunnel. None of the three best teams in the regular season (Thunder, Pistons, Spurs) would have their current core with these rules in place. Losing is a part of any sport, and unfortunately there are influential people who can’t seem to understand this. Making games more competitive is always good, but this won’t accomplish anything besides creating more franchises stuck in NBA purgatory

@RetaDiary Rumination about “what you need to do” and overthinking disappears.

THE OCHO Shot 8 of Reta 2mg “Discipline in a bottle” is still the best way I can explain it. Free will still exists. I could go to Wendy’s if I wanted. I could skip the gym. I could stop meal prepping. But the weird part is… I just don’t really want to. Going into week 8 is where I’m noticing the trickle-down effect. It’s not just food noise. Meal prep is easier. Gym is easier. Work is easier. Saying no is easier. Staying locked in is easier. That’s been the most unexpected part so far. The only downside is my brain feels a little too wired sometimes, which might explain why my sleep has been off. Next week I go back for my next month’s supply, and there’s a chance I move up. If you asked me after month one if I was ready to go up, I would’ve said no. Now I feel ready. A little nervous because it sounds like 4mg is where some people start getting hit with more side effects. But I guess that’s the point of going up slow.

@BowTiedYukon I don’t see it at eliteresearch

I guess I know what I’m stocking up on this afternoon

@HPbasketball Washington will almost be in win now mode. Dort alongside Trae Young would be beneficial for them, also Wiggins could play in that rotation. Then maybe 2-3 firsts. But still they probably wouldn’t do it.

Trying to conceive of a trade package where OKC gets a top 3 pick for Boozer and the other team walks away happy. What do WAS, UTA, or Memphis need more than a top-3 pick?

@JaredDHardin I mean that gross still tracks for over 350k a year. Not bad!

I'm trying to figure out how to price seal coating and i need help from seasoned business owners. I overbid this by what seems to be a lot, and this guy was nice enough to let me know. How do I respond? It's a 19k sq ft lot that is in pretty bad shape and my competitors bid this at $5600, but my material cost is roughly $2.5k - $3k, meaning a minimal 2 day job nets ~$2.5k to 3k Gross which is terrible. What do I do? Is this a problem that is fixed with scale because I'd be able to knock out multiple a day? Or is it a problem where someone is just going with lowest bid, which I don't want to be at all - i want to be the most expensive, and I'll never win bids where people prioritize saving money over quality? Is this price vs value problem and i just failed to properly differentiate myself to justify a higher price? I need help.

@Carson_OKC Shooters shoot

McCain has taken 13 shots in 22 minutes (3-13).

@OUoutsider55 Sarr a damn good player.

Risacher Sarr Shepard All drafted before castle lol Best two front offices in hoops

@flaquaticfan Drink More Pickle Juice

STOP WITH THE DAMN PICKLES PICKLES. DO. NOT. TASTE. GOOD.

@contractorkeith “My average job” does two jobs a year one at 5700 and one at 5900.

I’m in FL. Not a chance I’d hire the company that calls me 5x in 48hrs, sends auto texts, then shows up with an iPad. Looks like I’d save almost 50% cost and 100% of the aggravation. Thanks for the tips!

@Peter_Bukowski You don’t want a ship?

I have always believed the people who chose B are lying or deluding themselves.

@GoodmanHoops Daryl Morey(probably)

One NBA GM on today's Draft Lottery: "I don't see much disparity from No. 1 to the No. 8 or 9 pick. I think the No. 3 or 4 pick may be the best because you won't get crucified for not taking Dybantsa, Peterson, Boozer or Wilson down the line. The decision will be made for you."

@CAlmanza1007 I get it but the Philly team is kind of an anomalie. Way more talented than a 7 or 8 seed just hasn’t been healtjy.

I like the Celtics and still think they're the best team in the East and can make the NBA Finals, but this First Round has shown they're not at the same level as the Thunder and Spurs

@boringlocalseo LOCALRANK

okay let me say the quiet part out loud: homeadvisor is going to implode and almost nobody in the local services world sees it coming. here are the numbers that matter: - angi inc (parent of homeadvisor) q4 2025 revenue: down 19% yoy - active service requests: down 31% yoy - churn rate for pro subscribers: 47% annualized (was 28% in 2022) - ceo has been replaced twice in 3 years - stock price down 74% from 2021 peak the pro forums are a horror show. plumbers talking about $120 per shared lead that goes to 6 other companies. roofers getting leads from homeowners who "just wanted a quote, never planned to hire." hvac techs saying they've cancelled their subscription 3 times and keep getting charged. meanwhile every single one of those trades is getting higher-quality leads for free from ai citations. i've personally talked to 40+ local service business owners in the last 6 months who've cancelled homeadvisor and replaced 100% of that lead flow with ai citations in under 90 days. the math is simple: - homeadvisor: $2,400/mo for shared, mid-intent leads - ai citations: $0/mo (after ~$500 one-time content investment) for exclusive, high-intent leads this isn't a marginal improvement. it's a 10x. maybe 50x when you account for lead quality. homeadvisor's entire business model was "we aggregate demand because you can't." that stopped being true. the ai models aggregate demand now, and they route it directly to the business based on content quality, not who paid for the lead. i give homeadvisor 18-24 months before they're either acquired in a fire-sale or file for bankruptcy protection. angi will probably outlast them by a year because they pivoted more aggressively, but they're on the same trajectory. thumbtack is slightly better positioned because they have the consumer-side network effects, but their pro side is bleeding hard too. if you're a local service business owner currently paying any of these platforms: start executing the ai citation playbook TODAY. you have maybe 12 months before the lead reselling platforms stop being a viable fallback and the only game in town is ai citations. by then your competitors will have a 12-month head start on you. localrank.so exists because we saw this coming 18 months ago. the measurement tools for the old lead-reselling era are useless for the new one. new era needs new tools. Comment "LOCALRANK" if you want my LLM citation framework and I'll DM it to you (Must be following)
