@dianelyssa The train will not be cheaper, and it will dump you far from downtown. Just take a Vonlane bus

it shouldn’t but also we shouldn’t be flying from houston to dallas, we should have high speed rail 😔

It should not cost me $600 to fly from houston to dallas. But everybody is rich so I guess that makes sense to yall.

The Rockets are expected to call on Giannis Antetokounmpo this summer after another disappointing playoff run.
Houston would likely build an offer to the Bucks centered around Alperen Sengun and Jabari Smith Jr., which is a near identical salary match, plus future draft capital.

@6Voodoo I am very confident that my kids don’t have the goods, but they want to try, and I will give my time and money to let them try.
English
The problem isn’t high performing kids playing in high performing leagues. That has been the case for decades
The problem is parents of average kids getting sold a bill of goods on their kid’s potential and them eschewing a positive experience in lieu of an expensive waste
Jason Helmes@anymanfitness
Bad news, dude: If your kid doesn’t play travel/AAU they have no chance of playing varsity in high school. Only exceptions would be small, rural schools without many players to choose from. Any decent sized high school, every kid on varsity plays travel.

@wil_da_beast630 My daughter cannot find a decent volleyball game outside of club volleyball. Good luck finding 8 girls who can serve, pass, set, and hit at even a mediocre level.

The alternative isn't "gang banging," though. It's playing Pony League or Rucker Pre-Pro, and doing 90% of this same stuff for ~free.

Travel sports: - guaranteed family time every weekend - tour the entire country, see the sights - kids gain athletic skills and priceless memories - chance at scholarships/NIL money - kids stay out of trouble - make friends with people in town This is supposed to be “bad”?

@masfresco In my Houston suburb, girls need to play travel volleyball if they go to a white high school, but not if they go to a black high school. It would be opposite for girls basketball.
English
The fact that there’s not a train that goes from Houston to Dallas blows my mind.

The smartest doctors in America are actually nephrologists and ID doctors, probably. They essentially take a big $ cut to study complex systems for 2-3 more years; there’s no big pay day at the end, so they’re in it for the love of the game. You can’t tell in other specialties😅

Smartest doctors are Electrophysiologists not radiologists.

@robertgraham While I agree with you, I can also think that the lack of congressional check is just an implicit approval. They could stop him, but don’t want to. A much larger problem would be if they did vote against him and he still made war.
English
Of course Trump is going to violate the law requiring him to cease hostilities in 60 days unless Congress declares war. What's the consequence of not following the law????
We once imagined there were consequences if the President didn't follow the law. Trump has proven there aren't any.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Q: In your letter to Congress, you said the hostilities in Iran have concluded. How can you say that given the naval blockade? TRUMP: Well, it's a very friendly blockade

@SamQuinnCBS From a person who opines the death of free agency, this should your preferred outcome of the 2nd apron.

They don’t *need* to make this choice. There’s no basketball mechanism forcing it. They’re expected to make this choice so their owners can avoid a historic tax bill, and if they’re going to make their team worse to do that let’s appropriately shame them for it.
Evan Sidery@esidery
The Nuggets will need to choose between Peyton Watson and Cam Johnson this offseason due to apron limitations. With Christian Braun’s $125 million contract locked in, Denver won’t be able to keep both. Johnson being traded to re-sign Watson is viewed as the most plausible path.

@farazamiruddin Walkable urbanites have yet to hit up the youth sports industrial complex. Wait until one kid plays soccer while another has volleyball *at the same time*

I suspect more than 18% don’t want to drive.
Most people in America will NEVER experience what it’s like to live in a walkable city. Visiting NYC for a week doesn’t count.
You don’t know what you don’t know.
Lindsay Loves Cities@LindsayJS
Drivers love their cars so much they can’t imagine it isn’t universal. But 18% of people don’t want to drive. Yet only 6.8% of Americans get to live that way. It’s better for everyone’s traffic if we let people have walkable neighborhoods.

@edandersen Everything wrong with Windows can be traced back to ChromeOS - a free OS based on Chrome, account-required, with apps from a store, and Duplo interface.
English
Like why wasn't it this way all along
What possibly was going through their heads when they thought using web tech for an OS interface was a good idea
It's great they are adjusting course but what a wasted 5 years....
Windows Latest@WindowsLatest
Microsoft’s distinguished engineer teases that “native apps are back,” as the company plans to build 100% native apps for Windows 11. Windows 11's biggest problem isn't ads or performance, but the app experience. Apps like Netflix, WhatsApp, and even Microsoft's own Windows apps are now powered by either WebView2 or PWAs (web app technology). I don't hate web apps, but they feel slow and not truly part of the operating system. A right-click makes you feel you're browsing Edge, and have options like Inspect Element. Microsoft has confirmed it'll build 100% native apps for Windows 11, and it's also moving some OS features back to native code. This includes the Start menu, which is currently powered by React and is now moving to WinUI. The upcoming Agenda view, which was a WebView2-based component, is also moving to native code. However, the biggest challenge is that Microsoft needs to convince developers to build native apps for Windows.

@slimjimmy No null check, no null-terminator check, no bounds check. My favorite is if one has overlapping memory with the other.

even better, the CVE is simply gorgeous

@BiasedHouston Just curious how you felt about the team in the short period where we had Jeremy Lin but not yet Harden?
English
That last season of Silas was genuinely bad, but what got me through it was the idea of adding a very talented young player via. the draft to my young core that would put us back on the map (exactly what happened).
Them pre-Harden years were years where I knew my team had a ceiling of a first round exit with little to no way to improve internally. We got lucky OKC let a top-3 pick go.
English
NONE OF THE ACTUAL FANS HATE TANKING 😂😂😂😂😂
I watched my team be the worst team in the league for 3 straight seasons. I promise I enjoyed that INFINITELY more than the pre-Harden era where we were too good to get a top pick, but not good enough to make the playoffs.
NeatFireTruck@wizardsfansad
@BiasedHouston @AyeSlimeyyy I’m taking what we did this year over any of the post wall Beal years, that shit was peak misery. Like who the fuck wants to watch a game where tyus jones is your lead guard for the season?

@conorsen My Houston suburb builds new housing, but the new owners don’t want to mingle with the poorer neighborhoods, so they resist re-zoning the schools or closing the less-used ones.

@EconomPic If you, as a doctor, prescribed diet and exercise to 1000 patients, and then GLPs to a different 1000 patients, which cohort would be more successful?

@Jumpshot8 This is a problem with ringz culture, not analytics. Nobody gets paid to play “beautifully”

It makes me wanna puke when i watch NBA players pass up a sure 2 point Layup for a low percentage 3. These Analytic never played mathmatic robots has killed the flow of a beautiful game . 🤷🏾
