@crazygingerlady Again? 🤨

@EricChlebek @zero_chill_tea Also working on a charge island. Clearly a WIP.

@zero_chill_tea Coincidentally I organized my office a bit yesterday too. Here is a new area I call Charging Island (most devices seldom used sadly)

@zero_chill_tea 👏

@clixxo212 @KuKhahil So much this. The Warriors are really good at drafting and I don't think Wiseman is an exception here. He's a complete physical specimen, just the wrong guy for the offense and defense the Dubs run. He will be putting up 20+/10+ for the Pistons very soon.

Final thoughts on Wiseman trade: Biggest part a lot of fans need to understand is that Detroit doesn’t look at this as a high risk. They think, correctly imo, this was a calculated gamble with very lil risk to it if it doesn’t work.

@hamptonzfive @TYRES3HALl Agree with everything but the "worst player" tag. Wiseman is not a good match for the Warriors offense. He needs more time with a ball in his hands, but he also needs a more traditional offense that empowers bigs to make plays beyond being large roadblocks.

@TYRES3HALl Trust me, finding a way to flip possibly the worst player in the league for a guy who had the 2nd best net rating on a championship team is not a loss, it’s correcting a mistake if anything

Initial Thoughts... 3 Winners and 4 Losers from the 2023 NBA Trade Deadline A thread:

@ParaFigure @TPizzymcgith @anthonyVslater I think two things can be true. - Wise is going to be a great player - He won't be able to do be that player on the Warriors He needs more space and playing time. But he also needs a different offense.

@TPizzymcgith @anthonyVslater Great? Man is a bust. Injury derailed his rookie season, but we were better without him. Won the 2022 championship.

The Warriors needed a creative route, but it is essentially a James Wiseman for Gary Payton II swap, sources confirm. Sounds like they're done dealing. Attached to tax savings. Wiseman $9.6 mil this season, $12.1 mil next season. GP2 $8.3 mil this season, $8.7 mil next season.

@AdamKoutz @nfmosphotos @persian_yeti @buklau690 @michaeillmatic @anthonyVslater I love them both, but they are very different players. GP2: - better defense on the full 94' - better D on bigs - dunker threat Donte: - better handles and playmaking - driving threat We've been playing 3 "guards" a lot, I assume they both play but don't share the floor

@nfmosphotos @persian_yeti @buklau690 @michaeillmatic @anthonyVslater No doubt.. he fits the system obviously and they already know what they’re getting with him! I just would’ve loved to see them add an element that they haven’t had this season.. and I think Donte has brought the GP2 game but we shall see maybe they will be dynamic together

Hey folks remember that #ogl debacle? Well, WotC is releasing a new book in 2 weeks. A lot of great people worked on that book. But if that book sells well, the management at WotC will assume that everything is fine and nothing has changed. We should act accordingly. #OpenDnD

@RobertGReeve Her methods are totally compatible with children. - My kids have a much easier time picking clothes when they can see it all. (Folding) - Toys in buckets on the bottom of a stack don't get played with. Accessible toys are used all of the time. (Don't stack)

I’ve seen opposing takes on Marie Kondo: it’s classist to have a lot of books, or to have few books. Or that her ethos is incompatible with (or essential to) parenthood. Sometimes I think our observations about each other are really more about us reflecting upon ourselves. 🪡

Because of my family situation growing up, I don’t have many childhood belongings. Marie Kondo’s book made me feel okay about letting go of not just stuff, but the feelings I had attached to that stuff I lost. 1/4 🧵

@WarriorsMuse He's a great player. But I don't think he "helps" in the raw sense of increasing +- / minute. At best, he's the 8th guy in rotation. And that is a hotly contended spot right now. Lamb, Donte, Ty... The new JK... Jamychael... Moses... I wouldn't move any of those guys.

Thoughts on Jarred Vanderbilt, #DubNation? A pretty interesting trade target that could definitely help us if we trade for him.

@axelk If you have a complex prescription, especially astigmatism, contacts can be very expensive. (See toric lenses) Your optometrist will be able to tell you options. Adaptation is required. Your first attempts to insert and remove them will take several minutes. Takes a few weeks.

@axelk You get them at your optometrist. Same place you get the glasses. Contacts are inherently temporary in that you take them out every night. Sports only is common. If you have a simple prescription, there are cheap disposable ones that you toss after a few uses.

@bsouth_van @FreezingFinTake You can find some interesting PDFs and data sets directly from the treasury. That actually breaks out the amount of debt in Bills vs Notes vs Bonds along with some stuff like "average interest rate". You can verify for yourself // fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/sched…

@bsouth_van @FreezingFinTake The Federal government is constantly issuing debt of differing length. "Bills" typically renew in a matter of weeks or months. "Notes" in months or years. "Bonds" can range up to decades. Yes, there is some debt that is currently being paid that was locked up 28 years ago... /1

@DianaVoorhees @cmvince @fuckyouiquit > A work visa is a privilege and should be used only to work, not to travel. That's what's happening, people *are* working. > supposed to be working on getting their green card Often, that's not actually legal. Obviously you and your gvmt disagree on this. Can you fix this?

This is beyond messed up

Company towns are less common today, but the oligarchs are still trying to exert control over your shelter. thenib.com/company-towns-…

@MiuMario_ @CommunistJojo @CYaffee The point is that this should embarrass you not entertain you. People are literally living blind waiting for money for a surgery. And rather than collectively get them the surgery, we're waiting for some dude to monetize this essential need? Don't you find that embarrassing?

@VV07125790 @KurtzOrin @fuckyouiquit Literally not possible. E3s don't convert to Green Cards. And people with H1Bs (initial post) can wait over a decade just for their green card, pretty alone citizenship. So do you have real contributions here? Or are you just here to be a jerk?

@KurtzOrin @fuckyouiquit Been here for years then become a us citizen or what happens happens.

@StarCityGames Coalition Victory is actually easy to deal with. Yes, it can theoretically be unlocked with two lands and a single creature. But it still costs a lot of mana and it is still susceptible to counter magic and instant speed removal.

You have the task of legalizing one of these... what will it be? 🤔
