Hey @X is this a joke? I call out inappropriate behavior and content in gyms but there is NEVER any nudity and if there is, I cover it up. Millions of views which YOU get paid for and not even a discussion? There was no “thorough” review. Just one email and DONE. Do better X…

@CharlesPPierce You got nbacentel’ed

TMZ gets a scalp.

@tomhaberstroh @YahooSports is that good? the guy didn't hit a 3 pointer in his entire career

NEW @YahooSports: An ongoing research project shows that Wilt Chamberlain likely averaged 8+ blocks per game in his career. Here’s how that’d stack up among the official leaders:

@marcportermagee What's the real math here? MIT graduate school acceptance rate: Offers of admission(9%), it's clearly not candidates. full tuition foreign students? is it federal grants meaning less PHDs are getting some grant coverage? MIT boasts that 88%% of undergrads have no debt at grad

MIT announces “the number of grad students will be 20 percent less than it was in 2024 — about 500 fewer students”

@Jaspell @sportsrapport The sun arena is like 9k capacity. They were flirting with Hartford 18k but the tribe likes all the traffic

@skibbi9 @sportsrapport Don’t we all…

Not to mention, the Houston Comets won four WNBA championships, and you know what happened? They folded. Why do they deserve to have a team, sans expansion fee, and Connecticut loses theirs? The whole thing is icky and it's not getting enough attention.

@Jaspell @sportsrapport Yes. They played Caitlyn Clark in Boston to 3x/4x their gate revenue. They’re trying to make more money - everyone wants to get paid

@skibbi9 @sportsrapport That arena sold out most games. The WNBA just wanted a bigger market. Total screw job to the Connecticut fans that actually created women’s basketball

@sportsrapport they were going to need to build an actual practice facility and couldn't term out Uncasville vs. Hartford Games. State and Fans are pissed - but no NBA synergy in state made it a ticking timebomb that was going to be now or ten years.

@sportsrapport welcome to the conversation. ultimately, the owners- the mohegan had a lot of incentive to get out and CT offered no great in-state package. Marc Lasry worked on a package... Lamont and the state tried some ideas. Uncasville is too small and to far from airport and population.

hitting my lowest point about to order a brisket sandwich from arby’s 😔

@SteveBurke2000 @TheMuchoDinero @jean_twenge it all depends on the data set, the years, the grade level measured and if you adjust for demographics. Mississippi miracle is 4th graders going from 49th to 9th (unadjusted) this data set linked seems to be middle school set of data but they've moved from like 45 to like 23

@TheMuchoDinero @jean_twenge Miracle can be a relative term.

Reading scores, 3rd graders to 8th graders, 2015 to 2025. This is a national tragedy.

@BillBrewsterTBB @bear89007362 Bill trying to get his planet fitness membership from 2008 cancelled still i see.

@bear89007362 Shocked they let you cancel. Also, men don’t work out at Planet Fitness.

lol. Imagine Planet Fitness canceling a membership. Fake news.

@DaveBorges @UConnMBB 2 Uconn rings for Ricky! one as a player (Elevated vs. Duke!) and one as a asst-coach

RJ Moore, son of former @UConnMBB champion Ricky Moore, is a national top-25 recruit being sought by many top programs. Are the Huskies one of them? (Spoiler: Yes, they are) ctinsider.com/sports/uconn-m…

@sportsrapport We're 6months from Ryan quoting wtfhappenedin1971, broad money inflation instead of CPI a la Lyn Alden...and a year from Ryan mentioning shadow stats CPI and that hedonic adjustments are 1 parts necessary and 1 parts bullshit.

It’s been higher than the stats claim for 5+ years

@MicroBerto @arielhelwani he should have paid off joshua like he did with tyson to pull punches. albeit, I guess the allegedly still hasn't paid tyson.

@arielhelwani I said this right after it happened. After my broken jaw, some things were simply never the same. x.com/MicroBerto/sta…

Wow. Jake Paul reveals there’s a real possibility he may never fight again due to complications stemming from the broken jaw he suffered against Anthony Joshua: “I’m getting some new scans in a couple of days on the jaw to get an update on the healing process. We’ll see what my doctors say and if I can even fight again. That is definitely within the realm of possibility. It does feel a lot better as the weeks and time go by. I think it just depends on how the bone heals. There’s also a tooth missing here, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to get some sort of implant. We just have to wait and figure out what the smartest thing is for me.”

@TheStalwart achkschualllyy.... he's a barrister not a banker.

Keir Starmer is a bank

@LukeDashjr @Bigqadi downshifting, neutral, ebrake all tools. agree, cutting the power is going to make everything worse. Had this happen in a jeep about 10 years ago.

@Bigqadi That's why cars have a second, emergency brake. Turning off the engine will mostly make the situation worse: you lose power steering (and brakes, if they didn't actually stop working). Head for a hill if possible.

If my car’s brakes fail at high speed, can I just turn off the engine to stop the car?

@nic_carter cant spell nic carter without AI. suprised Thomas Kinkade company hasn't come back as Thomas Kinkaide

If wanted to make $100k as fast as humanly possible I would open a gallery in Wynwood and sell tasteless AI generated large format acquacore canvas prints to nouveau riche boxslop homeowners

@PeterMcCormack @Keir_Starmer

@Keir_Starmer You suddenly know how to control borders?

We will block far right agitators from traveling to Britain this weekend for a march designed to confront and provoke our diverse capital city. We will not allow people to come to the UK, threaten our communities and spread hate on our streets.

@kansasbluecoast @slye @broncobilly82 so the Daikin seems to be build for not struggling down to like 5F but my bosch unit - the efficiency starts really ramping 32-10degrees. You've got to balance: (1) electricity costs (2) COP - multiplier of the heat pump vs. electricity. (3) oil price (4) 'comfort'

@slye @skibbi9 @broncobilly82 Is that based on electricity costs? Kilowatt hours in Boston are $$$ so my system crosses over at 30F.

Most HVAC contractors in America are trying to keep you in the 1990s. I had $15,000 cash to spend on a cold-climate heat pump. Nearly every contractor I contacted tried to talk me out of it or over-quote me an outrageous amount to deter me away. One guy spent 20 minutes explaining why variable-speed heat pumps are a scam. Another literally said he wouldn’t put one in his own house. Why? My guess: 1) They are ignorant of the latest technology 2) They don’t have the training to install/service the new systems 3) Their pockets get filled from big box old school HVAC manufacturers if they sell them Unfortunately, a new HVAC for most homeowners is very urgent so these contractors use this time crunch to overcharge or upsell inferior systems. Luckily, I bought a couple of $130 window AC units to hold me over for 2 weeks while I reached out to 15+ contractors. I received quotes ranging from $10,000 to over $24,000. Only 2 of the quotes included a modern cold-climate heat pump. After price matching and negotiations, I ultimately chose a Daikin Aurora Fit cold-climate inverter heat pump + 97% modulating gas furnace (true dual-fuel setup) Total cost after rebates = $13,000 This system usually goes for around $20,000. Here are the key takeaways I wish I had known before I started shopping: 1. Always demand a real Manual J load calculation. Don’t settle for a “rule of thumb” or register count. I had 3 different contractors give me 3 different sizes until one actually ran proper software. 2. True variable-speed inverter technology is worth it especially in a multi-level home. It runs longer at lower speeds, gives much better dehumidification, smoother temperatures, and is noticeably quieter. 3. Dual-fuel (heat pump + high-efficiency gas furnace) is often the smartest move in mixed climates (like my home in Louisville). The heat pump handles most of the year efficiently while the furnace only kicks in on the coldest days (if necessary) 4. Shop aggressively and negotiate hard. Buy yourself some time with some temporary/portable units. I got competing quotes and used them to drive the price down significantly. 5. Duct sealing, correct sizing/tonnage, and proper installation matter more than most people realize especially in older homes. 6. Have a detailed checklist to vet each contractor. An extremely helpful guide I had throughout the process was from @energysmartwv So why did I insist on cold climate heat pump? • Way better temperature balance upstairs (even without zoning) • Excellent dehumidification in humid summers • Significantly quieter operation • I’m expecting to save $60/month on electricity • Less reliance on gas and possibly eliminating the need altogether Modern cold-climate heat pumps are no longer experimental. They’re one of the smartest upgrades most homeowners can make right now. Do your homework to make sure you are getting the best system possible for your home. Don’t let old school contractors keep you in the past. Have you installed (or considered) a heat pump in a cold or mixed climate? Were the contractors helpful or did they try to talk you out of it?

@sportsrapport any of them with a 'secret' parking entrance leads to opportunities. Executive hour and like last hour on a weeknight lead to great no-stress parking. Newb dads go at noon on saturday/sunday.

Life is a happier place when you commit to parking in the farthest possible section in the Costco lot. The risk reward of trying to find a close spot is off kilter.
