rewatched season 1 so I can get hype and ready for season 2 release. Debating

Mayor of Cougartown

I'm just going to wait till they are all out

SWKTNative

4:01pm

It’s more of a binge kind of series.

Samsonite

4:02pm

Can't wait to watch season 2, but the wait has been frustrating.

cougfanblue

4:01pm

It’s like a deep dive into an above average black mirror episode.

Samsonite

It was talked about plenty here when it came out 3 years ago

Basically traded for a draft pick (the competitive balance round, the only picks you can trade). Interesting.

TCuz

Don't be fooled by Saltt electrolytes FB ads. IMO they aren't as good as LMNT's offerings. For some reason..

Bert609

Well if you’re going to call it a “home theater” then seems obvious

So is it confirmed Akana has flipped to BYU?

Season 2 really slows down. I switched to the books

Enjoyed the books. I'm only about halfway through the 1st season so I don't

I like it so far. It's been kind of slow (spoilers)

Uh

It’s a direct “credit” against the taxes you OWE, different from tax rebate

Example of married filing jointly

Not refundable though right?

Ron Mexico

Correct - only reduce your tax liability

Is this new?

Thinking about going back to school to get my MBA

Julius Pepperwood

3:37pm

Generally go to the MBA school where you plan to live long term, Harvard etc

SwanSong

3:41pm

Define “long term?”

Julius Pepperwood

3:48pm

Probably better to say who hires you out of MBA school is more regional but

SwanSong

3:52pm

Go to dental school instead. Low intellectual qualifications, high pay.

Shore10

3:45pm

But you have a ton of biology and chemistry requirements, that’s a deal breaker

SwanSong

3:49pm

Probably. But most of them cheat.

Shore10

3:53pm

What’s your goal with the MBA? The value primarily comes from network and recruiting opportunities.

WP17

3:51pm

I did my MBA to check a box and my company paid for it.

BPintheCouv

3:55pm

Thanks for the points.

Julius Pepperwood

3:55pm

I would caution against that- it definitely helps to get it from a school with a stronger reputation.

Do you have a specific business you want to get a job at? Like Cisco or Intel

RdF3 Inactive user

Probably only a marginal effect. Majority of US homes are 4% or under.

Guy near me had his brand new BMW M5 stolen out of his driveway.

IGlowInTheDark

Weird. Since I'm not a criminal I have no idea how people can steal a new car without a key.

Stealing a car with a key can be tricky. But nearly all modern cars don't have keys. The fob is a computer, computers

every BMW my dealer has seen stolen, was with the key (robbery or left in the car)

TheLost

3:41pm

unless you know Jimmy's guy...

fulano

3:59pm

One way is to get a signal booster

HuskerFan2

3:41pm

That works one time.. and you HAVE to be right next to the fob. (impossible to do in real life)

TheLost

3:43pm

Did he leave the Christmas bow on it?

Ron Mexico

Was it a Kia Stinger with an M5 badge?

Knell is 17th in the nation in offensive efficiency he's three 3 pointers away from being 12th in 3pt%

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

3:32pm

He needs more minutes/shots. It would open up the court for drivers.

Blueto

3:33pm

Wasn't it yesterday CB said he should be on the end of the bench.

fredy

3:36pm

They should receive a lifetime ban

Indy Coug

3:37pm

He's definitely a legit D1 player. He just happens to be successful at shooting when the attention is taken off

Bob Vance

3:40pm

Knell is an 81% FT shooter this year

Indy Coug

3:42pm

well, good. Here are his past year stats at FT

Bob Vance

3:49pm

In his defense, he barely shot any FTs except for last year. This year is on pace for about the

5 day lift tickets for a Family of 4 = $6000. Its also not hard to find $1k+ per night hotels.

Airfare also likely $2500+.

I wouldn't go stand in those lines if someone paid me the price of the lift tix

Buckeye

A good friend of mine just lost his gamble on an interest rate buy down.

rad dawg

3:22pm

He can't afford his home because of a 2-1 buydown?

kimdaddy35

3:24pm

Seems like a huge underwriter failure

Kajdin

3:26pm

The underwriter had to qualify them based on the base rate... unless it was hard money

kimdaddy35

3:30pm

I believe it was a 3-2-1 and his business has slowed.

rad dawg

3:28pm

Honestly, hard to fault his decision. He made money. There are certainly non quantifiable

kimdaddy35

3:33pm

He will be fine but it's a tough lesson.

rad dawg

3:38pm

It would have to be a 2-1 as rates 3 years ago were low 3's.

kimdaddy35

3:35pm

Not necessarily, his hasn't expired yet.

rad dawg

<< Deleted >>

RdF3

3:25pm

What should he have done in 2022 had he known high rates would persist? Would have missed out on price increase. No?

roseyscenario

3:30pm

Okay but transaction costs and the fact he has to get into another house will

rcbyufan

3:34pm

Yes, at least some appreciate since rates have risen.

kimdaddy35

Sounds like he is coming out ahead and got his dream home for a few years.

No Cavs in the Top 10. Best record in league right now.

Jazz don't appear until #63. Collins is the Jazz #1 guy. The Jazz have the 2 worst players in the league in this stat

RdF3

3:27pm

The Jazz are definitely rebuilding. Hopefully for them they can land a high draft pick.

kimdaddy35

3:29pm

if they are tanking why did they sign Collins. I don't understand

Mayor of Cougartown

3:43pm

And why do they give veterans so many minutes??

RdF3

3:44pm

Yes it makes no sense. Ask ManicBlue to explain it to you as I think he is the only one who agrees

kimdaddy35

3:45pm

RE: Jazz don't appear until #69. Collins is the Jazz #1 guy. The Jazz have the 2 worst players in the league in this

ManicBlue

3:33pm

In the linked tweet they're #65 & #69. Collins is top at #63.

RdF3

I noticed Westbrook was higher than Jamal Murray

Huge Manatee

3:48pm

Westbrook has been much better than Jamal Murray

kimdaddy35

3:51pm

What's going on with that guy? Keep waiting for him to make a jump

Huge Manatee

3:53pm

This is the worst I have ever seen Murray play. He claims he is healthy, I'm not so sure.
