Maybe there's also paperwork involved where he's not 'technically' retired, but realistically is. Plenty of 50-year-olds out there who are technically free agents because they didn't qualify for the pension and so never bothered doing the retirement paperwork.

Per someone on Twitter: Stephen Strasburg will continue be paid $35 million annually through 2026 (with about $11.4M deferred each year). He then will receive $26.6M in 2027, 2028 and 2029 in his owed deferred payments. The contract was not insured, leaving the #Nats on the hook for its entirety.

Don't worry, the griddle will be his gateway drug. They like doing the pancakes and peppers outside, so gosh, maybe they should get a pellet smoker to do the chicken outside, too!

There's also "SandRhoman History" on the same subject. Learn the real history of how to storm or defend a castle, or the evolution of medieval weapons.

Clifford has confidence and I like where he's putting the ball, but he sure likes to lock eyes on his first read.

I can't imagine trying to pass a 400-level biology course while also traveling to a game in NY on Monday and a game in California on Thursday. Granted, I can't imagine passing biology to begin with. -
Ah, when you think about selling a company you own and decide "Well, I do it when I get back to work in a couple days" and show up to find it crashed 68% overnight. Whoops.

Also trying to decide if I should switch golf courses. The current one I can walk up without a tee time and play whenever and it's a beautiful course and perfectly maintained. The other one I hear is a nice course, but tee times will likely be a little more difficult to get, and they also do forced foursomes. But I'd save about $200/mo.

My vending commercial kitchen caught up with me. They hadn't been invoicing me. I'd told one of their workers to assuage my guilt over the free kitchen, who apparently didn't pass the message on. But they've hired a new girl to go over their books and she found me. She said they'd completely lost my rate sheet and asked if I had it. I do, but gosh I won't be able to find it, since that'd be the only way they could back-charge me. But either way, at the same time I've decided to cut back on my number of days vending, they'll likely charge me in the neighborhood of 40% of my current income. I've heard of a potential opportunity on Saturdays. It would give me six vending stints per month but still just three days in total. Just a 12+ hour day. Then there's also winter when I don't make all that much. Or maybe I find a bar and vend after work a couple days per week. In all, it suddenly has me thinking maybe it won't be profitable enough to keep vending. I'm just not doing it enough days per week to make it work. I should be able to recoup most or all of my capital costs because carts re-sell well, at least. Of course don't want to jump to this conclusion quiet yet, though. My fallback option was to buy crates of return items and re-sell them on ebay. It's at least another option to not work on somebody else's clock. Unsure of the typical $/hr yet, though.

They drafted his replacement instead of a player who would better fit any "go for it" strategy in Rodgers' last few years playing on a SB-contending team. Why should Rodgers be expected to sacrifice money in the present when the team wasn't willing to sacrifice wins in the future? I think this is all just usual breakup stuff, where in the immediate the girl is the worst person in the world and you don't know why you liked her in the first place. But once you find the next girl, the previous one was actually a great person but it just didn't work out and you wish her the best. So I guess that's to say Love is my new girlfriend and I'll be rooting for the Jets this season unless they play the Packers.

Yeah, I do wonder in a decade or two how much taxpayers will really go for paying for the stadiums. If you're going to pay for half, you're probably better off with the city buying the whole team, too. I'd be up for at least moving the three-point line back. Basically no difference in shooting percentage a couple feet into the line, but a decent drop a foot or so behind it. Also to keep the whole thing as a circle and eliminate the corner 3 as an option, which would also get that corner player moving around more. The point at which centers started to be evaluated on their three-point shooting was a good sign the line was too close.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10083668-video-fiba-event-showcases-incredible-glassfloor-interactive-basketball-court Okay, so now we have LED glass floors for basketball courts. Sure, a whole new way to advertise, but it could be really neat to have explosion graphics after a 3-pointer or to play highlights during a timeout. Plus you could have a different-look basketball court every single game. We can just go ahead and put a blue line a third of the way up the court and no offensive player may cross the line ahead of the basketball.

I think Love has really good tools apart from accuracy, so if he can improve that a bit he should be really good. I lean toward about seven wins next year though not so much on Love not being good but that the WR group isn't particularly good and the TEs probably won't contribute much this year. And I'm tired of being optimistic about the performance of the defense.

I clearly watch a lot of Youtube that I know the posters everyone else has mentioned so far. But I guess it makes sense since Youtube has almost 100% replaced movies and tv for me.

The boss warned me not to vape in my work truck. I'd be the first one to say I'm addicted to nicotine though I have no desire to quit. It doesn't leave any smell nor do I do it in the public eye. I don't want to stop every 20 minutes to get out and have a puff, nor could I go hours without it. If the boss asks I won't lie because that's a career-ender, but I think I'm in line to get a few write-ups in the near future. He's new, so still in that sticker-for-every-small-policy phase where other bosses don't care. At the same time I recognize it's not the biggest thing to ask and I'm being a bit stubborn and petty yet still inclined to tell him he's eventually just going to have to write me up.

Ooh, thanks for the reminder. I got a letter saying I bounced a $50 check from a closed account despite having the checking account for years with definitely enough money to cover that. And the letter doesn't really even say who I bounced the check to, which is confusing. No notice of it on my account, either.

Or you could do like everyone by me does and simply throw your garbage out your car window as you're driving.

There's some truth to it, sure, but you also know he heard it during some drug trip and thought it was the deepest and most meaningful comment he'd ever heard.

There's basically a salary cap to sign your own guys (with a tax if you go above) and a much lower salary cap to sign free agents. And the Bucks are still over the FA cap even with Middleton's salary gone. It's why a sign-and-trade is still possible even though Middleton is a FA so that the other team is technically only re-signing him. Still possible Middleton signs a longer-term deal with Milwaukee, though with Jrue being a FA next year, doing so is a big go-for-it move. Adding in that ownership probably wants to get out of the repeater tax (would have been something like $55M if Middleton opted in) and I'm not holding my breath for that. If Milwaukee wants to go for it, they'll probably do so with Giannis and Jrue and hope for the best. If they're looking for more of a soft rebuild/reset, you trade Jrue this offseason, too.

Character reference? Well, he does have 12 thumbs-ups from me.

Vended my first kinda event. Made 180% of what I usually do, but it was 10 hours and my body really paid for it the next day.

I don't mean that Giannis should be the second-best player on the team, as that would be impossible, but that I'd like to see the offense centered around somebody else who can create their own shot. Giannis draws attention even without the ball, should do well in a pick and roll offense, good at offensive rebounds and being available for a pass in the paint. Not the guy needing to go 30/8/8 to win but the guy who goes 20/12/6. What we've seen out of their offense for years is Giannis gets the ball at the top of the key and tries to drive the basket. If that doesn't work, reset and try again. If that doesn't work, pass to Middleton with three seconds left to try and make some heavily contested shot. So I guess more of a Jamal Murray alongside Giannis. Middleton is the best bail-out shooter in the NBA, but doesn't lead the offense. Jrue tries but he's low-percentage. Ideally I'd like to see the others create opportunities for Giannis rather than the other way around. We used to see a lot of that with young LeBron, too. I respect that we're pretty handcuffed with a roster and that a Jrue trade isn't going to bring in some All-Star, but it's still an offense I'd prefer to see instead of Giannis doing everything and the rest of the cast just chucks up 3s.

My work just raised the pay for seasonals, who will now be making more than the bulk of the full-time staff.

Finally told my commercial kitchen that they haven't been invoicing me. We'll see if they say "we'll start" or "Here's six months of back charges". They're re-organizing yet again, which they like to do every two months or so. They never tell me about it, so I just walk in for the morning and suddenly my stuff has been moved. This time not only was it moved, but some stuff was missing. You'd think if you saw three plastic jugs right among somebody's stuff that they weren't garbage, but I guess not. They weren't cheap and I can't vend without them. I get the impression they don't really want me there. I also don't have any other option.
-
The mid-range jumpshots and 3s hurts his TS, but he's also got to learn them if he wants to play much past 30. Jrue isn't really an offensive aggressor and Milddleton has always been their bailout guy, but the team could really use someone who's a bit of a ballhog and scarier in the halfcourt game. Giannis is probably more ideal as a #2 all-around sorta player.
