    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I'm probably way way late on these details since this is from the 2004 video .. but holy shit where they say they calculated the top speed of the tic tac at 46,000 mph.

    NBA 2020-2021: The Dubs Empire Strikes Back

    Let me clarify, not disagreeing with any of that. Prime CP3 was better than Trae (for sure), and now yeah Trae is probably better only cause his health allows him to be more consistent. And yes Harden is definitely better than Trae now or then. But my main pint was that Trae is every bit the...

    NBA 2020-2021: The Dubs Empire Strikes Back

    Trae isn't fun to watch, he's every bit as much a flopping bit&* as Harden and CP3, but they are both better. Ayton? not sure you'd label him one of the faces of a new generation at this point. Morant is pretty overrated, a poor man's Westbrook until further notice, but yes he doesn't seem to...

    NBA 2020-2021: The Dubs Empire Strikes Back

    I think the fact that Dallas is not Cleveland and the Mavs payroll flexibility will allow them to not repeat Lebron's first go in Cle. Dallas may want to try to dump Porzingis soon to give even more flexibility if they can, but even with him they should be able to fit another big contract...

    NBA 2020-2021: The Dubs Empire Strikes Back

    Both Bagley and Ayton are defensible without hindsight. Nobody expected Luka to be this good. I think all three guys were seen as yeah... maybe all stars... but none of them were viewed (by most) as probable superstars. Bagley's main issue has been that he just can't stay healthy - if he can...

    If you're in an area served by Redfin, you can get a Redfin agent for confidence they're not going to push you into a purchase for money. They work on salary no commission, and their bonuses are based on reviews. I used one for my purchase 1.5 years ago and never regretted it. Helped us to...

    Yeah maybe could happen near the trade deadline if nothing else came to fruition and they're desperate to shake things up for some reason. Yeah, I think Wiggins and Porzingis are pretty similar in that they were both overly hyped earlier in their careers but didn't live up to that due to...

    NBA 2020-2021: The Dubs Empire Strikes Back

    Very doubtful the Warriors would go this way, even after watching Wiggins give a lackluster performance yesterday. The only thing Kerr knows how to coach is small ball - even with Klay coming back Wiggins is the type of player you want to play that style, especially now that Wiggins has shown...

    Intel's poor performance has been priced in for a long time - on average it stayed pretty flat last year when everything else was going up. Nvidia has been priced high for future growth for a long time. 80 P/E vs. low teens P/E. I think Intel's biggest growth prospects are in contracting...

    Video game studios are a bad comparison because they generally don't have this potentially huge stock payoff in the future that SpaceX does. Each worker will value their stock and potential for historical achievements differently, but the stock must also play a big role for many. The valuation...

    But it's not really the same pay right? Cause the SpaceX guys are getting equity along with that pay for potentially the next big IPO.

    I'm guessing this is not the average market, cause tech in the area keeps growing, but the greater seattle area is nutty right now. I bought last year, and am super glad I did (having made the purchase agreement for new construction in Nov 2019), but its a habit to look at the Redfin emails...

    Apple had a huge runup prior to earnings while Microsoft hadn't seen much of one for a while, thats the big difference. The iPhone 12 supercycle was priced in long ago and this earnings was the first showing of it. Absurd, absurd earnings, but Apple's P/E is near 40 while Microsoft's is 35...

    They don't even have to implode necessarily. The picks and swaps run through 2027. Pretty good chance the Nets in those last few years look nothing like they do today and are bad again. I mean what are the chances they build something that lasts around KD (who i love as a player btw but he's...

    Competition drives innovation. Hopefully Bezos' teams can at some point do something innovative instead of just copying every Musk move with a 5 year delay. SpaceX is in the lead but can't be the only game in town forever.

    Picked up the 85" when Costco had it on sale for $1970 a few weeks ago. Only sucky thing about it is the in box stand, which wouldn't fit on my console and probably wouldn't fit on most others as well. Had to order a center mount stand on Amazon but as a bonus it also looks better than the...

    Debating between a X900H 85" ($2600) or a X950H 75" ($2400). This is for an 18' x 16' room with a lot of natural light and nice views that I won't want to have to block too often, so I'm thinking the smaller 950H is the way I'll go for the 1200 nits and wider viewing angles.
