I'd have been happier seeing Carter and Thanassis and Nwora on the floor. Boston could permanently double-team Giannis at this point and we might only score 50 for the game, with 40 of that still coming from Giannis. Milwaukee is such a mediocre team when they sit back and make Giannis do everything.

Get permethrin in concentrate. It's fairly cheap. I wanna say it's 2oz per gallon. Apply to socks and other clothes from a small pesticide/herbicide sprayer. Toxic to cats until it dries. It stays on your clothes through about four washings and does a great job keeping the ticks off.

My brother's engineering firm is hiring. What kind do you do and I can see what he's looking for.

When you finish a test and everyone gathers around afterward to go over the answers and you didn't get any of those right.
-
Yeah, that could well be. Fortunately this isn't my career and so it'll only cost me $5 in sales when I tell her to pound sand.
-
Sorry to hear that, man. Hopefully something else comes along quickly. If you wanna run a park lemme know:)
-
That's largely my thinking, too. I have a little ways to go yet, so not quite at that "keep what you have" stage. So can I make more than 7% buying up Disney or Netflix now? Yeah, probably. Heck, there's even indexes which short the market. People still drink coffee. Probably smoke more cigarettes if they're hurting, too. Is there really a world of difference between a bond and buying gold? No guarantee, sure, but about as safe as safe can be.

I forgot there was a game last night, so I watched the 10-minute replay and almost turned it off 3/4 through figuring we were about to get beat by 25. I'm also a good bit surprised Lopez hasn't been involved on offense much. It's not like Boston has the big men to stop anything inside. And Allen's playoff disappearance is concerning.

Learned of somebody who is 50/50 on applying for the same promotion I'm going for, and he'd get it ahead of me for reasons I could only say on Political Scene. Felt a little weird encouraging him to apply, but it would be a good move for him and he should. Since I'm only applying for the money and because I kinda have to retirement-wise, but I also don't really want the job, there's a good part of me that hopes he applies because then I have a good excuse for staying put.

My Food Manager test is tomorrow, which I guess isn't totally easy. But worst-case I spend another $150 and take it again in a month. And after 1.5 years I finally secured my commissary. So once I pass the test I can then get my Vending Permit and then I'll be good to finally start vending hot dogs! And even if it still takes a while my work schedule is such I don't have time for it, anyway. Met another cart owner in a nearby small town and he said he nets $200-250 per day, and my location is a little better balanced out by me not being able to have a regular schedule. It'll mean a bunch more work on my off weekends, but also not super-stressful work.

You'd think Portis would be the guy to be in to cover Horford, but maybe they want Lopez in the paint to better guard against Tatum and Brown driving the lane. Allen's total absence was the biggest factor for me. The Celtics can certainly live with Jrue shooting 3s. The Bucks are unstoppable when Giannis has kickouts and isn't in that "I'll do everything" mode, which he certainly gets into sometimes. In the Bucks' losses this year and last year, that's usually what the biggest issue is.
-
Can't remember the exact name of that bond, but a cousin and my father are pushing to invest in the same one. The cousin has been searching for something super-safe for a while since he's close to retirement and that was the best one he found.

Well, down roughly 70% on owned assets, but at the same time buying as much as I can right now. Sure, maybe we'll see a 25k Bitcoin or maybe even 20k, but you'd think we gotta be at least somewhere near the bottom........maybe. I wasn't in crypto but I recall a $0.02 Cardano as the bottom of the 2018 Crypto Winter, and of course we were all jealous of all the folks who were able to buy at that point and see it climb to $2.80, so hopefully now is that same sorta moment. I'm usually more into gaming/metaverse, but I may have to eat whatever losses and move things to more-secure L1s, because along with that $0.02 Cardano there were plenty of other projects which died permanently.

All the ways the 49ers have beat us the past many years are definitely addressed with a good ILB.
-
Someone called me on my emergency phone which I have to answer (could be Dispatch) with 4.6 seconds to go. But the win assuaged any guilt I had for taking a 2 hour lunch break.
-
If the Celtics have to shoot that well from 3 to win a game I think we'll be fine. They did seem to revert back to their Game 1 ways in the second half. And while the Bucks don't seem to be much for in-game strategy changes, Budenholzer does a good job of strategizing for upcoming games. And if the Celtics are going to be this one-dimensional that's really promising for our chances even without Middleton.
-
Game starts at 7:30 people tend to leave early so they can get to bed. Wouldn't it be better to have to arrive late and miss the first three innings than miss the last three? Though really it's an easy experiment to test if MA so wanted, just have a few earlier starts and see what the attendance is. Simple to figure out if the fans want it or not. But as someone in the Eastern Time Zone, the games start way too late!
-
Burnes may well be the most sensible of the SPs to trade. Mid-market teams just aren't in the position of being able to keep guys who will eventually walk. At least a 31 y/o Woodruff is within the realm of possibility to re-sign. I hate having to be a feeder team to bigger clubs.
-
It was my impression that Giannis went up, realized he had too tough a shot, and quickly improvised the backboard pass to himself all within a fraction of a second. Meanwhile in the real world last week a customer watched as I almost fell out of a chair from trying to sit on it.
-
Absolutely in favor of trading Woodruff or one of our other top starters. That's what you do, trade a strength to shore up a weakness, right? Weirdly good to not be too deep in any one area because that diminishes opportunities for other players to step up and how that they really do belong. It's also an opportunity to get a young bat in here who could be under control for even longer than Woodruff is. The fan in me never wants to see any good player on another team, but we wouldn't see the biggest drop in production if one of our great starters leave, however our offense would see a big bump. It's your basic gambler's wager: When the potential profit is greater than the perceived loss, you make the bet.
-
How the heck do the Nets get swept? They were literally 2" away from probably winning the Championship last year. Sure they didn't have Harden, but they didn't really have him last year, either.
-
I have some thought to picking up Disney and Netflix, but at the same time I don't have the impression they're looking to do anything different going forward. Although it's hard to imagine the Disney CEO could keep his job after all this, which I don't mean to be political, just that if you're leading a company which loses that much share price, you should be out, regardless. I'm still basically 100% in a commodities index. Up about 25% so far and going forward I'm just making the assumption that if we do have some food shortages that it should keep on growing as prices increase. Or maybe because I'm not particularly confident in the rest of the market for the time being.
-
A little bit has changed with the coming promotion opportunity at my job. I didn't want it because I thought it was only going to be a 10% raise and that wasn't worth the extra stress. But I guess it should be more like 30%. I still don't want to do the work, and in all the job doesn't really suit my skills and interests. But since I'll be retiring on only about 60% of a full pension, I think I have to go for the opportunity. Between that and selling hot dogs (which the current boss has said should be manageable) I should be able to put away an additional $2000 per month in addition to the roughly $500/mo I'm putting away now. Plus it'll bump my pension from roughly $1200/mo to maybe $1400/mo. In all it looks like it'll mean being able to retire at maybe 56 y/o (45 now). Otherwise you tend to get force-retired at about 60. As well as having a good enough income up to and including whatever Social Security might be there (but that won't be much, as I haven't paid much in).

Hader Among the Best in MLB History
GAME05 replied to Tim Muma's topic in Brewer Fanatic Front Page News
Great write-up, Tim. Really terrific use of both quotes and heavy statistics to back it all up. Hader embodies my frustrations with the budget disparities in baseball. He's a guy who the Brewers would love to keep long-term, a guy who would probably love to stay in Milwaukee, but ultimately has to be traded eventually because we just plain couldn't afford to keep a player of his caliber. -
