  1. They are jumping on the GLP-1 craze. Those drugs burn muscle as well as fat. So they recommend eating plenty of protein so you don't lose muscle mass. These companies are just trying to take advantage of that.
  2. Seems like Netflix is telling Paramount to put up or shut up. I also think I read Netflix has a $2.7 billion breakup fee. So they win either way.
  3. 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History--and How It Shattered a Nation Started reading that this morning. Andrew Ross Sorkin wrote it. I had a good laugh at a tactic practiced then and now, adjusted for technology. In a section about Jess Livermore, they discuss how Livermore was obsessed with the ticker machines and had one in each room in his house. The problem was, even on light trading days, the ticker could be up to 15 minutes behind. So he hired people at each exchange to phone him with up the second stock price updates. Same thing today, except now they pay millions of dollars to have a server as close as possible to the exchange servers so they get the price a hundredth of a second before their competition.
  4. The OKC game has been flexed from 7PM to 7:30PM, so ESPN can show it.
  5. Good luck getting the conference commissioners to give up power.
  6. Maybe 4-3 looked good when the schedule came out. But that would be pretty bad knowing what we do now. The Spurs are the only tough game on that list. We'll see what version of OKC rolls into Detroit. Right now, they are missing 3 starters, including SGA and Williams, plus one of their key bench players in Mitchell. So the difficulty of that game increases on how healthy they get by then. 6-1 would be my guess.
  7. First six are right. But that Nets game should be another Cavs game.
  8. Pretty odd timing.
  9. Which wealthy alum is bankrolling this?
  10. I guess someone is leaking KD's DM's and group chats from his burner. No clue how it was verified, but everyone seems to agree this is him. Some highlights
  11. That worked well, other than the last game.
  12. Just a little PTSD from about a month ago when he did it to Detroit.
  13. Fun finish. MJ is the owner of the winning car. Guess he is a better NASCAR owner than NBA owner.
  14. First two games were pretty good.
  15. The flat lottery does zero to discourage tanking. It simply moves it from the bottom of the standings to the middle. Teams that finish 15th-22nd will tank to miss the playoffs and get an equally rated shot at the #1 pick, or moving up into the top 3-5. I think this idea would actually encourage more teams to tank.
  16. Daytona is today. Think it starts around 2PM.
  17. I would bet my entire life savings, all $37, that never happens.
  18. The price jumps because this is new construction. It appears they tore down the $17 million shack and built this.
  19. It's the Netherlands, so doesn't apply to us. But I imagine our politicians are watching. Taxing unrealized gains is so wild. Dutch Lawmakers Advance 36% Capital Gains Tax on Crypto
  20. Has not been a good weekend for crowds.
