@stonercoker It's like he's owning up to his age and putting his well worn face front and center in a parody of past poses.

@spinboutU_ It's sad, really.
He so wants to have charisma, so much wants to be loved, so much wants to have a personality like so many of the great black basketball players before, but on those fronts he isn't even in their same zip code.

He’s so fake and performative it’s actually funny

ok if Vegas basically upgraded itself to being a classy, high-end vacation destination, where should I go for my trashy vacations now?
Jedi Rich@jedirich_
Sure… Vegas is “dead.” Meanwhile, inside the Bellagio Conservatory — packed every day. Here’s the reality people don’t want to admit: Vegas didn’t die… it filtered. Post-Covid, they let anyone in just to survive. Cheap rooms, chaos, TikTok fights, people crying about $20 water in the desert. Now? That era’s over. Prices went up. Vibe cleaned up. And the people who can actually afford to be here showed back up. If you think Vegas is dead… you’re probably just not the target customer anymore. And judging by the crowds — they’re perfectly fine with that.

@jeremyalandiaz @JenniferSey There is no such traffic nightmare. No such proximity. No different from any sporting event. No correlation to school arrival. No different from sports or conventions in any city.
English
@JenniferSey I can understand the schools in close proximity to the draft location. It makes the traffic a nightmare and causes kids to get home way later.

How on earth can this be real?? Schools closed for the NFL Draft??
David Zweig@davidzweig
Pittsburgh Public Schools will be closed for three days, and compel "asynchronous" remote learning, because of the NFL Draft. Since the city will have a lot of visitors this will "ensure students can continue learning safely and effectively." Unreal. publicsource.org/pittsburgh-pub…

@FurkanGozukara "Freeze enrichment" means maintaining the program and objective and taking a short time out in one aspect to relieve pressure in the moment kick the inevitable ball slightly down the road taking advantage of stupid western progressives.
English
Absolute bombshell. Jamie Rubin confirms a historic peace deal with Iran was completely within reach. Iran offered to freeze enrichment, but Israel intentionally sabotaged the deal because they want a permanent war, not peace.

@JosephKahn Mammoths would never attack.
Probably not sabertooth tigers either given plethora of vast hordes of readily available prey.

@JerryTurin It's so weird how we also have very few sabertooth and mammoth attacks in LA once they all died.

When I first moved to LA in the 90s, a cycler was eaten by a mountain lion on a trail. These are not Disney characters. They are predators, but California is filled with space cadet Karens who keep trying to populate the hiking hills with them. The only reason California is habitable is because Teddy Roosevelt did a mass culling of mountain lions, but now they want these things next to their kids. There is no difference between California empathy and California stupid.
Robert Anderson@ProfRobAnderson
The reality is even more ridiculous than the headline. The whole reason for this bridge is so that a handful of isolated and extremely inbred mountain lions in the Malibu area can breed with normal mountain lions on the other side of the freeway to diversify their genetics. One of these inbred mountain lions killed my dog in my backyard on a college campus in 2022. The National Park Service had a tracking collar on the animal and knew where it was at all times. They didn’t give any warning to the college or anyone else. After this happened, they only admitted it was their animal after a reporter questioned them. The animal was so inbred that its father was also its grandfather, and then it mated with its father/grandfather. Mountain lions are not endangered in California in the slightest. There are actually too many of them in this area, causing them to kill each other over territory. The NPS catches all these animals every few years to replace the batteries in their tracking collars. They could literally just drive them to the other side of the freeway in a pickup. The mountain lion that killed my dog was hit by a car and killed a few months later. What a waste.

@nuuuuuuuge Naw. It's something different. There's been a resentment from day one, earlier seasons when reasons were invented to not recognize/reward him. For example, awarding Hall the Hart.
Resentment of Oilers legacy, or Oilers getting #1 picks, or McD's sheer greatness?

@HamasAtrocities IMHO the affair demonstrated the power dynamic of Palestinians. A highly factionalized group that can only move as one with the support of every extremist group, as any outlier is capable of threatening the lives & families of any leader (Arafat for example) reaching compromise.

Yasser Arafat's personal assistant:

"Arafat didn't want the Oslo accords"
"Hamas founder was paid by the palestinian authority"

Listen to the BBC and NYT instead!

@CSmartarsery @StuffWorthSee Wouldn't wood glue merely fail from the weight on the shelf? Of course the answer is to have a base on each side of the shelf. But if for any reason you can only have one side, then this does work (albeit unnecessary to have that many ties).
English
@StuffWorthSee Just use wood glue and a clamp.
This was painful to watch as a carpenter. Lol.

@avidseries The first sentence is obviously a lie right out of the gate though.

"A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent."
How much money do builders save on costs by removing all the trees from a lot prior to construction? "Roughly $5,000 per lot."
Vast swaths of residential America are bleak because of the selfishness, shortsightedness and greed of builders and developers.
Personally, I can't live in a house in which there are no visual points of interest outside it that can be enjoyed through its windows. Views of trees, hills and mountains, maybe a skyline or compelling urban panorama — any of these will greatly increase the enjoyment of a home and improve the mental health of its occupants.
Aakash Gupta@aakashgupta
Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.
