It's not a coincidence he's making a fuss about the "stranded" astronauts on the ISS. They are not stranted. They are not stranded. But saying that makes Boeing look bad so it's good for business. Yes, there was a "failure" on the part of Boeing but that's why they did waht they did... to test. When you test and find something, is it a failure? No. You are investigating and learning. And guess what? There's a space station you can dock to and be safe while you learn, instead of trapped inside of a Gemini Capsule in orbit wondering if you can get home (Gemini VII for those who want to learn) That's why Neil Armstrong of all people became an astronaut in the first place. It wasn't to be a hero or legend or to get to do things others couldn't. Not an ego trip. He was a scientist first and foremost and spaceflight was a discipline he could do so he wanted to learn. It's why he almost immediately went back to university to teach.

I've completed my 1956 Topps Football set and am 4 cards away from my 1956 Topps Baseball set...

Can we talk about Cade's bag of moves? Pull-up three, in-out dribble, post hook, mid-range, drives, you name it. He can score in so many ways and he's still learning. This dude is a force and will absolutely cost this team more money in the off-season because he's going to make All NBA third team. Oh, let's not forget about the 3 steals as he's becoming more of a 2-way player as well. Say what you will about the Tobias signing, but he's been really good for this team. All the players have talked about his leadership on and off the court. His three point shot is still struggling, but he's been good on the board, in the post, making the right play, and just a calming presence when they hit those scoring lulls. He's at the top of the league in +/- as well. Ausar is our Draymond and I love every minute of it. Harden was 5-22 last night with 7 turnovers and a -22 rating with Ausar in his shirt most of the time (Schroder hounded him a bit as well). Yea, he'll have some awkward moments, but the dude had 6 stocks in 25 minutes last night. That's insane. He doesn't have Curry handing him 5 easy assists a game, but his ceiling is higher than Green's due to his athleticism and body-type. Stew is so valuable. His stat-line doesn't show it, but he led the defensive effort for that bench unit at the end of the 3rd and into the 4th when they got the 10 point lead with Cade on the bench. He just makes it so tough for dudes to score, even giants like Zubac struggle against him. I don't expect wins against Boston or Denver, we're still not championship contenders, but regardless this team has been a ton of fun to watch. 32 wins already after coming off of a 14 win season is a crazy story. This team is sitting in 6th - a guaranteed playoff spot right now - while being 3.5 games ahead of the 7th seed and only 1 game behind the 4th seed.

IdahoBert could have helped, but he stopped collecting twenty five years prior when they stopped including them In his Pappy’s tobacco.

I can't remember the last time I have seen an NBA game played with this much defense in the first half.

A fine, upstanding citizen. A man's man.

Especially that awful greenish yellow on the cinder block walls. Looks straight out of some mid century government office. All that’s missing are steel desks with folding chairs. The park is 25 years old now and it’s time to upgrade some of the visuals. The displays look faded. Even the signs giving off the section numbers. You could do a lot without spending too much. For example here is what I saw in Tampa at Steinbrenner field.

talking about awareness - there was a play in the second half when the Clips had a chance to break, Ausar was the first to see it and took off. Half way down the court he reached up and back with his left arm and took a blind swat - he saw where the man in front was and was just taking a guess at the passing lane while running down court full at a full sprint. He didn't deflect the pass, but I was damn impressed at the awareness to make the attempt.

The dream of an undefeated grapefruit league season goes down the drain.

and the game day thread was prepared by someone i have on ignore.

After a walk no-less!!

That last block on Harden.

Musk walked down the stairs and just left his four year old behind. People need to educate themselves about narcissism and sociopaths. Trump and Musk don't care about their own children much less the voters.

Duren can get to the basket ...would love to see him drive from the high post..easy dunk if no help comes. Dish to the open wing if it does

Doubly ironic coming from Elon, whose always stresses that exact point whenever SpaceX has one their "alternately scheduled vehicle disassemblies"

were....

Former colleague of mine who left for NASA says he knows things about SpaceX that he can't say and wishes he could divulge. Then went on to hint that all of his companies are ponzies that were about to be exposed by the Feds. Piece together what you will, especially after the SpaceX explosion a couple months ago.

i'm not expecting much from the pistons in the playoffs this year, any wins or advancement will be gravy. but still hoping to see cade drop 50 on boston...

A congress run by Mike Johnson out there thinking its all going to God's plan is not ideal. He lacks ideal gravitas to suddenly take a hero turn.

Or "Putin Potatoes". One or the other ...

Both are beautiful sets, congrats!

I've met many women who thrived after their abusive spouse died.

The ultimate DEI hire based on identity and not qualifications.

The MAGAs can't hear you, they are too far up PUTIN's ass.

Pistons are on fire, man. They are for real. Cade's a superstar. Now, Milwaukee and Indy need to start losing once in a while

Jobe is slated to start against Baltimore tomorrow.

That alley oop he threw from beyond the ar was amazing

I think worth mentioning that Tobias has been playing alot better the past month or so, averaging nearly 18 on 56% shooting during this 10-2 Pistons stretch.

Or 1 made of wood?

One of my favorites in 2025 Topps so far:)

Quite the close out to win it. I simply cannot believe the turnaround this team has had.

Lmao AI is going to determine if the jobs are necessary from an email response.

So, let's tear it apart without thinking carefully about consequences.

They get all of his 4.75 million...they were only getting $1million in cap relief from him being in the minors. Yzerman has something like 11 million in cap space

"Did they sever your balls too?"

The people he hates didn't vote with Putin in the UN today.

Sounds like a really stable individual. Just what we need in the FBI.

Sounds like the admin is saying that something our resident maga-fanboy thought was a great idea is now a horrible idea. Can’t wait for the spin on that. but balls are in short supply

He seems nice.

Does doing the Needful involve going into incognito mode and signing the opm email up for websites? Unfortunately, somebody beat me to the punch (Onlyfans) or they involve downloading an app (Grindr), or in the case of Nude Africa, sending money. My only hope is the person squatting on the Onlyfans is registering the account with alllllllll the trans accounts.

A couple those fouls came when Trae got past Thompson, and Ausar then ran over him on the trail because he didn't anticipate Trae's little stutter step. Definitely something he needs to learn. And in general, he needs to accept that once his man is past him there is a limit to what he can do. He gets caught overplaying trying to make it up when he's been passed, and you just have to learn to accept that you can't do that. His agility is something else to watch though - he's like a big cat out there.

We're watching Kasper become a star. That guys really, really good. Lalonde didn't know what to do with him I'm starting to believe that Lalonde was an absolutely horrible coach.

He seems like a nice guy.
