I made a pair of walnut speakers
Beautiful looking. Every speaker builder says to build out of mdf or plywood because of reduced resonance. How do they sound to you? I've always wondered if most people can really hear a difference.

If you made a reggae or Ska dream band who's in and what do they play/sing
Maybe we can get Gregory Isaacs to do some guest vocals.

What’s an out of touch thing a young person has told you?
Certainly the former is valid and any iteration of it. I was speaking to the latter

What’s an out of touch thing a young person has told you?
We had computers when I first started working in 1986

What’s an out of touch thing a young person has told you?
The whole "I'm uncomfortable" or "I'm offended" chaps my hide. I get that the younger generation identifies and expresses their feelings and this is good thing. It's the ones who feel the world needs to cater to their feelings that bother me.

[Spoilers MAIN] Which chapters do you enjoy the most and which do you slug through?
While the character may not resonate with you, it is what makes her storyline so compelling. She is the privileged daughter of a Lord who's believes the fairy tales she is told. She is going to be a queen just like the stories. It sets up the audience to be completely annihilated when Ned is executed.

History tells us that the Thunder and Cavs are on a collision course to meet in the Finals this year. So why is there an overwhelming sentiment that neither of these teams are the true favorites to win their conference?
Very true. However, the playoffs is where the coaching staff gets the opportunity to spend a week watching film of their opponent and looking for weaknesses to exploit. Some players wilt under the pressure of the playoffs. The intensity ramps up and overwhelms younger players. What I like for both teams is that they have lots of players with playoff experience. It should be a great playoff year.

Luka and Lebron check out tonight vs. the Pelicans: combining for a total of 64 points, 16 rebounds, and 21 assists
Regular season success does not equal playoff success. While I acknowledge out defense has been great lately and I hope it continues, the center position is a glaring weak spot for us. Every series will try to exploit it.

Luka and Lebron check out tonight vs. the Pelicans: combining for a total of 64 points, 16 rebounds, and 21 assists
Yes. A g-league center (Jemison) and Len aren't going to cut it. Hayes can't stop half the centers in the league.

But the house is not yours, son.
Being america i assume its perfectly legal to give someone something make them dependent on you and then pull it out from under you
This comment specifically makes me agree with you that they are young or at least extremely naïve. If you know the FIL is a narcissist, then you know that taking anything from them will have strings attached. I can see being blinded by the "rent free" part, but sounds like they weren't prepared for any of this.

The r/NBA frontpage explains why the media only spends time covering a few popular teams in the league. They're just following what fans want.
As a Laker fan you would think I would enjoy all of these threads. However, the reality is that most are unreadable and basically the same 5 phrases spammed over and over. Nothing new, nothing funny and no insight.

[Highlight] Smooth passing sequence - Luka to LeBron to Reaves to DFS for the open 3
Lakers are spacing defenses to death. Luka is at the logo when the action begins. With 3 great passers in the lineup, your defensive options are limited.

[The Athletic] (Mavs insiders on Luka Doncic) "They predict his basketball demise, highlighting a health history that, as some see it, will likely lead to catastrophe in the next five years or so.”
If I had to guess, he is a nightmare to deal with behind the scenes. Might explain why Vlade didn't draft him. Whatever the truth about it is, is not what's been reported.

Nobody thought the internet was a fad

David Bowie criticized MTV in 1983 for not playing music videos by black artists.
Just a little context. At that moment in time, music was segregated by genre. Radio stations were by rock, r&b, country, etc. and only ranged about 40 miles. So a rock station in Chicago didn't have the same playlists as one in Phoenix. Musical styles other than pop or jazz were mostly segregated by race. MTV was the first 24 hour video radio station it was the first nationwide one. They started out as a rock station and not surprisingly struggled to incorporate other music in the beginning. I would say mostly because it hadn't really been done before on such a large scale. Bowie was right to say what he did and trust me MTV figured out how to play music by black artists.

[Highlight] Bronny shows off the handle and hits a tough step back three
I would argue that it wasn't nepotism. He is the son of one of the all time greats. They are betting on him getting some of his father's genetics. Unfortunately, he did not get his father's build. His biggest issue is his size. He's small framed and not super fast. He's a good defender and passer. If he can become and averages shooter he'll be in the league for a while.
