I was going to say. My guy can't even get over a screen set by a 14 year old.
They do this in some baseball winter leagues in central America. It kicks ass.
But someone would get hurt and it would ruin it for everyone in a competitive league.
Yeah, the crime very simply is fraud. He created fraudulent business records. That would normally be a misdemeanor, but because he was covering up a second crime it is a felony.
This is the least important thing he was charged with, but it's a pretty standard fraud case and he is very obviously guilty of it. It's the same reason Michael Cohen already went to jail. Business fraud is usually boring because it doesn't generally involve presidents and porn stars.
He's also been charged with the documents stuff and some election fraud business. It's like when they got Al Capone for tax fraud. He's done a lot of crimes but this one was pretty black and white and doesn't require any novel legal questions about whether it's illegal for a president to do it.
The kind of "cover up" you're talking about is actually not THAT common, and it's relatively easy to do it legally, and the Supreme Court is hell bent on making it legal to do that kind of thing, but it's still a crime and so is the act of covering it up. But that's also not what he is charged with in this case. It's good that he was held accountable for it and it would also be good if more politicians went to jail for stuff like this. It's a sign of a healthy democracy.
Yes but it was a political action taken by a business owned by a political candidate, which is regulated and requires disclosure. A candidate can't spend their own money on politics and not disclose it. It's one of the very few disclosure laws the ultra conservative supreme court hasn't yet eviscerated under the guise of "free speech".
That's what makes it a felony to falsify the records, because he was violating both state and federal campaign disclosure laws and covered it up by fraudulently recording the payments.
Edit: a couple of words
I was going to say, you can't use the song from the guy who *lost* the rap battle.
There was both a moving screen and a travel, but those never get called so I wouldn't take that into too much account.
I think watching the nail helps he's been getting, that he can't do that. Even if it comes, that's a higher percentage shot and more likelihood of a foul.
I think in a vacuum, they could be strategizing to scramble behind the play better, OKC did a great job of that, but I'm not sure their personnel are really built for that and I don't think Gobert being put in jail against Luka is going to end well even though he's got probably the best chance in the league at still defending it.
I think the best case would be to get McDaniels fighting the screen earlier and trust Gobert to recover to (I think it was Lively, not Gafford?) in the high roll. But they let the big get anyway with the pushing screen that everyone always highlights Draymond getting away with, and if they're going to let that happen you basically have to concede the ISO.
If you have Luka taking that shot down 2 in 5 games, you probably win 3 of them. He did bite a half step harder on the drive than you would've liked but I thought it was mostly fine.
It's because 75% of people just watch highlights, and even the people who do watch games mostly aren't capable of scouting games and then the talking heads just like talking shit because negativity gets more engagement than saying "yeah man, Luka will cook even very good defenders because offense beats defense in the league and that was a low probability shot". That's true, but not a very good hot take.
Yeah, like Luka is playing out of his mind and in the NBA good offense beats good defense. The on/off defensive rating in this series and Gobert's plus minus for the playoffs show he has been similarly singular in his defense but that just matters less because the defensive dropoff from Gobert to Lively and Gafford has been much smaller than the offensive dropoff from Luka and Kyrie to ANT and KAT. The Mavs defense has been good enough and the same can't be said for the Wolves offense. KAT and ANT should be able to punish their assignments (or at least need to to get where they want to go) and they just haven't. And also, the points margin is smaller than the wins margin because the Wolves have been a little unlucky and so it amplifies all the mistakes.
Luka taking a step back to his right is like a 35% shot which gives you a 65% chance of winning at that point. There are like 3 or 4 defenders in the entire league who have the ability to not let Luka get off a shot at all and none of them can do it on every possession, and they're all wings.
A center making Luka take that shot to win the game has basically done the best anyone could ask. Draymond or AD could probably have done a better job on that possession, but as far as centers go, that's about as good as can be done against one of the best offensive players in the league.
Also, only the best guards in the league would even expose Gobert in that maximally suboptimal situation, and the Mavs just happen to have two of those guys.
Also, the real best Gobert highlights would be possessions where they just pass the ball around the perimeter until there's 6 seconds on the clock and then take a tough jump shot because they don't want to try Gobert. His most real impact is boring and generally doesn't even involve him getting into the action. It's just a deterrent effect.
Also, the T-Wolves are playing a two big system and the other big doesn't provide enough rim protection to let Gobert step up to the level as much as you might want him to in an ISO. This isn't a totally fair comp for KAT because these guys are both DPOY level but Brook Lopez can step up a teensy bit more when the other defender gets successfully screened on the best versions of the Bucks defense because he has a 4 behind him who can still defend the rim. You obviously don't want Lopez in an ISO, and you scheme away from it even more strongly than you do for Gobert, who is much, much more mobile, but part of the reason they let it happen more is because he can handle it.
I feel like Gobert gets a lot of crap because his giraffe proportions makes the 3 or 4 times a game he gets successfully ISOed look way worse than they really are and the stuff he does well is basically invisible. Like even the Luka step back on him that got viewed to death, he cut off Luka's drive, prevented the step back to his left (by far his preferred side) and made him step back to the right. Even if it wasn't pretty, that's basically the worst shot Luka has in his game, and if he makes it you just have to tip your cap. Like, yeah, the head and shoulders best offensive player still in the playoffs made a tough shot in an iso against a center, but despite being on the perimeter Gobert forced him into a less-preferred shot and Luka is the kind of guy who makes his worst shot in big moments.
Sure, but it everything you can do there is also accompanied by gallons of ball sweat because it's a horrible swamp with an oil town on top of it without anything resembling public transportation.
No disrespect to the fine people of Houston. It absolutely has modern large city stuff to do but it's a horrible swamp. Both things are true.
Not every one of their turtleneck and blazer combos worked, but unironically there were some dope fits in this video.
Yeah, not having any of the "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" actually being sung despite it appearing 8 times in the staged version was a little disappointing to me, though I know the nature of a film meant it wasn't as necessary as a staging device. And I thought Depp was a terrible casting choice. But I thought everything else about it was so good that it made up for even having the title role be poorly cast and still was a very good adaptation.
I am a CPA who used to work at a financial planning practice and with the ages of OP and her husband they should get:
- Life insurance on her for the amount of the mortgage
- Life insurance on him for the amount of the mortgage plus 2-3 times the husband's income (with that number being a little higher if they plan on having kids).
30 year term on both policies.
They're both super young so it will be very cheap and the possibility that OP's husband gets hit by a bus or whatever will give OP time to grieve, enough money to never lose the roof over her head and enough money to go to school or something to put something on her resume after the employment gap.
Your mortgage broker gave you good advice. Not enough people have life insurance and it's very cheap for young, healthy people and the rates get way higher when you're older and plenty of people become uninsurable without notice. Happened to me. I got a term policy and literally 4 months later got diagnosed with a condition that would make me uninsurable.
Yeah the problem hasn't even been the defense on Luka and Kyrie. 108 and 109 points given up should be winnable games. They're eating, but that was always going to happen. It's the offense from KAT and ANT. They need to be taking over in a similar way. KAT especially. His defense is vastly improved but he needs to be punishing the Mavs defense.
Yeah, the domesticated foxes are only like 70% domesticated. They're super cool and it would be neat if they could be as domesticated as a cat or a dog, but as of now, that isn't the case and it's not totally certain that's even possible.
Because of the fact that they'd otherwise be fur animals, I think the ethics of it are mostly fine (though a reasonable person could disagree with me on that), but it is a little iffy because I think that farm is pretty poorly funded at this point.
He's a "great replacement" white supremacist. It would be unreasonable to not be anti-Elon Musk at this point.
I think the optimal way of doing it is having relatively inexpensive fares and then making it unbelievably easy to get a subsidized or free ride. Improving frequency generally encourages ridership more than lowering fares does.
As a person with an upper-middle class income, there's no reason I shouldn't be charged a full fare but lower income people should definitely be able to ride for nothing or close to it.
More important than either is just not subsidizing car ridership by providing subsidized free parking with parking minimums and low gas taxes.
Wells Fargo is a protocol firm so yes and no. He can't sell it (depending on how he is affiliated with them) but he could move the book and Wells won't fight him on it and will let him bring a decent amount of client information.
It's obviously a joke and people think I actually want James Harden elbowing past literally a bunch of children.
