Like a decent to good team that get hard due to injuries. If I lost my best player early in the season and then my 2nd or 3rd best player went down with a significant injury before the all star break, I would start finding ways for my team to tank. A top 5 draft pick would, theoretically, the elevate my team and…

Yeah someone has to win but who wants to watch a game where both are trying to lose? That’s what the NBA doesn’t want but will most likely get with these changes

You left out a huge reason why Austin has gone through a big population growth. Its their tech industry. Even though Austin is smaller than Dallas, Houston and San Antonio (maybe?), their tech industry is percieved to be better. What you mentioned does play a role but a lot of it is icing on the cake for tech people…

So my question is why were you fucking with the nurse shark in the first place? Nurse sharks only attack when provoked. A bite on the hand or foot I could understand you being careless. Its biting you in the stomach? You were definitely being a dick to that shark and got it killed for no reason other than your own…

Just shut up. You have no proof of any wide spread extortion by the Japanese police and you know it

That may be true but ours isn’t any better, given the wealth and resources we have. It would cost trillions to fix our system, but companies don’t want to spend the money. Instead they are just patching holes and doing minimal repaired. A lot of the equipment and parts are 50 years past their intended life cycles.

It’s actually a well studied problem because people know it can be pulled off. Terrorists might not shut down the entire system but they could shut down significant parts of it.

I’m glad that they already have suspects. A lot of people don’t realize what a chaotic shitshow it can be behind the scenes at major concerts and events. Between vendors, temporary event staff, third party workers (like security), full and part time venue staff, artists and their people it can be damn near impossible…

Its ironic that he was bashing them for having an old electrical grid, when its an open secret about how old and susceptible to failure the electrical grid servicing the rest of the US is. I read somewhere that in order to blackout the continental US you would only have to destroy 9 critical substations. You could…

I watched the video and claiming these dogs as trying to fight is reaching. None of the dogs were acting aggressive and there was very little barking or snarling. It simply was a couple of dogs facing each other, running on a treadmill. But that doesn’t mean I’m giving them a pass on forcing animals to perform in an…

You get a star for at least admitting you missed the joke lol

Too bad basketball is over because I could see entire teams doing that. The locker rooms are usually more tight knit due to the size of the teams, 15-17 vs 50+

He definitely gives off the pain in the ass vibe, which isn’t an detestable offense. I think he got arrested for being a continued PITA, which is a flimsy hinderance charge. $20 says he crossed the barricades because they are meant to keep everyone out but him.

We would have to watch the whole, unedited video to know. But he does seem like one of those people who would think that those barricades are meant to keep everyone out but him. Also I’m not sure what point he is trying to argue for with the person on the phone. Are there fugitives on the lose or a federal warrant…

Her claims are as believable as that teacher saying her FB account was hacked

How is bidding to have Amazon HQ there a plus? There are a bunch of cities with no chance of getting Amazon wasting money that could go other places. I’m glad Detroit is getting its feet back under itself but lets be honest there’s a slim chance of Amazon building their HQ there

What kind of voodoo math did they use to get it to 68000 people???

They used to but then everyone rightfully said wtf and made a big commotion about it. So the DOD stopped doing it and I think the NFL ended up paying most, if not all, off the money back. But the DOD doesn’t pay for these anymore

I don’t know if this applies with this police department but in some places protocol for one officer to pull to a taser and the other a gun. I don’t particularly agree with the policy but I do understand the reasoning behind it. I can cover 20 feet, that’s usually how far most police tasers can shoot, faster than you…

Even a serious athlete doesn’t need to drink that much water everyday. On days before, during and after game days/strenuous activity, yes that much water can be needed. But if it is rest or light work out days you do not need to consume that much water.
