2023.06.01 14:50 Downtown_Soft_202 Causing traffic in vnas from not being able to find pick order
So I have anxiety and it’s already bad from having to drive pit with a final write up on top of that I get worse when I can’t find an item and there’s like 2-3 dudes tailgating me.
Anyway I got coached today by a fellow pickeLA for using the can’t find barcode trick to skip orders when in truth I just wanted to move on to the next order cause I was creating traffic and having a hard time finding the orde. It was my first time doing noncom(ifek what that is) but it was worst pick experience by far cause everything was heavy and almost every pick was buried undebehind the heaviest shit and sometimes didn’t even have an asin to scan.
Any tips to get better?

The drill program, which began in March, is ongoing with three rigs currently operating. Nine holes have been completed and submitted for assay in the area immediately to north of the Dolphin Zone where the mineralization remains open and is projecting to surface. Assays have been received for three of the nine holes submitted and are reported below. The current program is designed to expand and infill the current mineral resource estimate ( February 2023 ) which using a 0.45 g/ t Au cut off and a $1,792 gold price is 12.01 million ounces at 0.92 g/t Au (407,544,000 tonnes) (indicated) and 7.7 million ounces at 0.85 g/t (282,303,000 tonnes) (inferred). https://preview.redd.it/xdgciofxke3b1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=8b79761e5a4360a01bac2fc0078de31477dd939a In addition to ongoing drilling to the north, drilling will also test a significant gold in soil geochemical anomaly that extends 1.5 km to the west. The goal of this additional drilling is to potentially increase the current resource area beyond its current size of 1.3 km x 600 m 147.3m including 1.43 g/t over 88.7m The 2023 drill program initially focussed on the northern extension of the Dolphin/Cleary. Drilling over the coming months will see additional drilling to the west to follow up on the encouraging results received in GS2241 and to test the over 1.5km gold long gold in soil geochemical anomaly. Holes GS2301 & GS2302 are some of the northern most holes drilled in the Dolphin Zone. GS2301 is a 400 metre step out to the north and intersected 56.7m of 1.02 g/t Au (Section 478800E). Hole GS2302 intersected 200.8 metres grading 0.81 g/t Au including 51.8 metres grading 1.04 g/t Au. GS2303 is 350 metre step out to the north and intersected 42.4m grading 0.65 g/t (Section 478900E).

It produced 60,000 ounces at a grade of 1.6 oz/ton. Later this summer one rig will test the potential for broad zones of mineralization surrounding the high-grade veins. This is similar to the very successful approach taken in the Dolphin Cleary Area during the 2020 – 2022 program. Based on historical mapping, there are numerous gold occurrences with significant veining in the target area which represents significant potential for discovery. The Saddle Zone has a 2.5 km by 1.0 km target area that has not been systematically drill tested. This makes it an excellent target for possible additional resources. Golden Summit has already demonstrated the potential to host significant resources. The 2023 resource update vaulted Golden Summit into one of the largest undeveloped gold resources in North America A sample quality control/quality assurance program was implemented. Drill cores were cut in half using a diamond saw, with one-half placed in sealed bags for preparation and subsequent geochemical analysis by ALS Chemex. All assays were performed by ALS Global Ltd., with sample preparation conducted at the ALS facility in Fairbanks, Alaska , with subsequent studies conducted primarily using its Vancouver and Reno laboratories. Core samples were prepared using the PREP-31BY package in ALS's facility. Each core sample is crushed to better than 70 % passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std. No.10) screen. A split of 1kg is taken and pulverized to better than 85 % passing a 75-micron (Tyler 200 mesh, US Std. No. 200) screen; a portion of this pulverized split is digested by Four Acid and analyzed via ICP-AES (method code ME-ICP61). Fire Assay analyzes all samples with an AAS finish, method code Au-AA23 (30g sample size) and over 10 g/t are automatically assayed using a FA Grav method, Au-GRAV21. Additional Au screening is performed using ALS's Au- SCR24 method; select samples are dry-screened to 100 microns. A duplicate 50g fire assay is conducted on the little fraction and an assay on the entire oversize fraction. Total Au content, individual assays, and weight fractions are reported. Analytical and assay procedures are conducted in ALS's North Vancouver and Reno facilities. A QA/QC program included laboratory and field standards inserted every ten samples. Blanks are inserted at the start of the submittal, and at least one blank every 25 standards, with additional blanks inserted following samples of visible gold. Freegold has a full-service camp at Golden Summit with COVID-19 protocols in place.

On January 30, 2020 , the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global health emergency. Reactions to the spread of COVID-19 continue to lead to, among other things, significant restrictions on travel, business closures, quarantines, and a general reduction in economic activity. While there has been a reduction in these effects in recent months, the continuation and re-introduction of significant restrictions, business disruptions, and related financial impact, and the duration of any such disruptions, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The risks to Freegold of such public health crises also include risks to employee health and safety and a slowdown or temporary suspension of operations in geographic locations impacted by an outbreak. Such public health crises, as well as global geopolitical crises, can result in volatility and disruptions in the supply and demand for various products and services, global supply chains, and financial markets, as well as declining trade and market sentiment and reduced mobility of people, all of which could affect interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk, and inflation. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, Freegold has implemented a COVID management program and established a full-service Camp at Golden Summit to attempt to mitigate risks to its employees, contractors, and community. While the extent to which COVID-19 may impact Freegold is uncertain, it is possible that COVID-19 may have a material adverse effect* on Freegold's business, results of operations, and financial condition. https://preview.redd.it/ik4gyohxke3b1.jpg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccebd625a537eafca4ada8de90205e2895cc9d4b SOURCE Freegold Ventures Limited View original content to download multimedia: http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/June2023/01/c0098.html https://preview.redd.it/5i0brqixke3b1.png?width=4000&format=png&auto=webp&s=ca8545b0de92fabc97853a4002b14f4eef32d82e

2023.06.01 14:49 Bill_Guarnere Suggestion for a brush cutter
Hi everybody, first time in this sub, before asking my question I would like to thanks anybody willing to give me any advice or help.
I would like to buy a brush cutter to cut all those nasty spots of my garden I can't reach with my petrol lawn mower, for example borders around sidewalks, where there are tree roots on the surface, things like this.
I don't plan to use it for long sessions, just a cut here and there when I need to get a cleaner result, so I don't think I need some expensive professional tool, but I don't want to throw away money on some chinese low quality tool that will self destroy in no time.
Regarding the technology for this brush cutter at first I was thinking to get a petrol one because I'm not very familiar with battery tools, and the idea to use the tools once in a while and finding it with no charge... well it's not a pleasant idea... but recently I started to rethink about that and I would like to try a battery one.
I was about to get a Makita one (I love the brand, It's widely available and has a nice support chain in my country, Italy) but I was quite undecided about some specifications.

I was about to get a Makita one (I love the brand, It's widely available and has a nice support chain in my country, Italy) but I was quite undecided about some specifications.
- I noticed that different models use different wire diameter (1,65 mm, 1.95 mm, 2-2.4 mm), what's the difference using the tool with different wire diameter?The bigger the better?
- different cutters have different rotation speed (3500-6000, 4500-6000, 4600-7000 rpm), what's the minimum decent speed to get a decent cut? Does the 4500-6000 rpm enough to get a nice result?
- for those who are used to battery tools, usually batteries of the same voltage (18V for the tools I was looking for) are interchangeable between different tools using the same voltage? Is there anyone here having experience with Makita 18V that use them in several tools?
- also regarding batteries, is it dangerous or can cause damage to the battery if I leave them charging in the charging station most of the times?
2023.06.01 14:48 Kevin80970 The pain, I can hardly use my arms I can hardly walk I can hardly move in bed, will this ever end? 😭
To be clear I don't have anywhere near as much depression as I used to a few months ago thankfully but I'm struggling to live like this just because of the sheer pain, I just turned 17 this month and I really hope that I don't have to live like this all my life (I have bad arthritis and we've tried many treatments with no luck:/ 😔
I'm usually always a positive person but I want to get your guy's opinion on what I should try next, I'm sure somebody else is dealing with something similar as me and it can cause a lot of negative thoughts if you keep thinking about it
I just wanted to add this too If anybody is going through something similar please stay positive and never loose hope, I had a meracle happen 3 months ago god literally saved my a** I was suicidal at one point especially during 2021 because the arthritis is nothing I was going through a lot more back then and just like what happened to me could and will happen to you it's just a matter of time
Yah I'm still in a lot of pain most of the time and barely able to get through the day sometimes but I'm in a lot better position then what I was in 3 months ago, pls don't loose hope I love y'all 🩷

2023.06.01 14:48 BeebMommy Seeking witchy advice to deal with a rough family situation
Basically, my family situation is a mess. My mom finally left my abusive dad and he turned everyone against me; my brothers, my grandma, my aunt.
I just had a horrible nightmare about them and I’m so burnt out after dealing with the unraveling of my entire family system for two and a half years. I feel emotionally raw and sad and othered and all the terrible things that have come from that.
When I woke up from my nightmare, I realized I had pain in joints that usually don’t hurt. I started to think about it more and I’ve realized that I’ve gained an absurd amount of weight during this process and gotten acne for the first time in my life and a few other ailments. My grandma is big into witchcraft and also totally not the person I thought she was, so I am wondering if she is hexing/cursing me and causing some of these things that me and my doctor can’t explain.
How can I protect myself? Does anyone know a good “return to sender” spell?

Recently, after PMED announced the exceptional –and peerless–AI features to detect impairment, sickness as well as many severe medical conditions the Company has announced the efficacy of its ‘Fitness Scan Vertical.’ Dr. Rahul Kushwah, COO of Predictmedix. “By providing a comprehensive analysis of an athlete’s fitness level, we equip them with the tools to unlock their strengths, address areas for growth, and achieve their performance goals. Our vision is to bring seamless AI tools to the sports industry to maximize performance and ROI.” Investors could be excused for dismissing this development as financially minor. Big Mistake. The Global Health and Fitness Club Market is projected to reach USD 169,696.72 Million by 2030, exhibiting a remarkable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.67% from 2023 to 2030. The premise is that teams and sports organizations can monetize their athletes in terms of competitive potential, strengths, and weaknesses. In essence, the better potential the Vertical Scan can unearth, the better use of scarce development funds for all levels of amateur and professional athletes. How do they do it? AI. Data. By analyzing data from multiple athletes, the platform uncovers trends and patterns that assist coaches and trainers in making informed decisions about training methodologies and developmental strategies. (PR MAY 17th) Dr. Kushwah further highlighted, “The industry recognizes the value and potential our solution holds. By leveraging AI and machine learning, we provide athletes and sports organizations with highly accurate and actionable insights. This empowers them to enhance their capabilities, improve performance, and strive for greater success.” https://preview.redd.it/ku9zwajike3b1.png?width=575&format=png&auto=webp&s=93ad67e1f880c0c291a3afeab60fc37bc06454af Using artificial intelligence technology, Predictmedix’s Safe Entry Stations already screen individuals for vital parameters. such as temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. With the added ability to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure, Safe Entry Stations now provide even greater accuracy for its healthcare applications as well as workplace and law enforcement screening tools. https://preview.redd.it/e8b4qr2lke3b1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ad97aacfd99d13876ca01a1eb219192ebe2ffa3 These Compelling Facts Bear Repeating:
The Company’s detection time for identifying impairment or disease is less than 5 seconds. The next competitor that is even remotely close takes 20 minutes. The Company’s Safe Entry Stations – powered by a proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) – use multispectral cameras to analyze physiological data patterns and predict various health issues, including infectious diseases such as COVID-19, impairment by drugs or alcohol, fatigue, or various mental illnesses. Predictmedix’s proprietary remote patient care platform empowers medical professionals with AI-powered tools to improve patient health outcomes. Ted Ohashi, the writer of Let’s Toke Business, has done a couple of fascinating pieces on PMED and its potential. He notes it has the qualities to be a ten-bagger and notes these observations.
Bottom Line Since all of the compelling and potential game-changing techs, an investor has to ask, “What Next?” I have no clue. I know that the potential is vast, and as soon as PMED refutes all the Henny Penny AI Bullmerde, it should be a big winner. (Henny-Penny is a chicken that does not use her brain. An acorn falls on her head, and she thinks the sky is falling. She rushes to inform the king and is advised by her friends that the sky cannot fall. She does not listen and makes a fatal mistake by not thinking things through). PMED is the acorn that proves the AI sky isn’t falling. |
2023.06.01 14:47 1122mbblla Looking for advice from optometrist
I recently had a full eye health check and dilation and OCT on my right eye. I have floaters in this eye for about 10 months. Minimal change. Doctor said all is good and 0 problems with my eyes. I am slightly short sighted. I have really bad anxiety about my eyes and a few times I've experienced a situation where I have a small white kind of shadow in my eye and when I blink i see a black shard kind of thing with white around it that lasts up to a minute. Is this a result of the floaters/gel in my eye or something else? My doctor explained the gel can cause shadows, but this feels different.

2023.06.01 14:46 ZandrickEllison [OC] Who is the best second banana? A ranking of the best sidekicks among all the 2000s title teams
We often hear the question: "Is Player X good enough to be the best player on a championship team?"
Less often, you hear: "Is Player Y good enough to be the second best player on a championship team?"
It's time to give these second bananas their due. We're going through the 2000s and ranking each SECOND best player on the title teams. Their values vary -- some were merely good starters, some were All-Stars, and some were arguably top 5 players in the entire league.
Ranking them isn't easy, but we're going to keep a few caveats in mind.
--- We're ranking based on the second banana's play during the course of THAT SEASON -- not their careers overall.
--- Statistics will be important, but not the be-all and end-all. After all, there's a big difference between stats from 2003 and stats from 2023. As a result, we may often defer to season accolades like "All-Star" or "All-NBA."
With all that said, here are my rankings, but feel free to disagree and explain your own ranks below.
The 2010-11 Dallas Mavericks were probably the most unlikely champion of the 2000s, with Dirk Nowitzki and a cast of older veterans who were seemingly on the decline. At the time, Jason Kidd was 37, Caron Butler was 30, Shawn Marion was 32, and Peja Stojakovic was 33.
You can make the case for Jason Terry to be the second banana here. Terry averaged 15.8 points off the bench for the Mavs that year, which is more impressive when you consider the context. (teams averaged 99.6 PPG then, 114.7 PPG now). Terry also pumped his numbers up to 18.0 PPG in their stunning upset over Miami in the Finals.
Still, we'll give the slight nod to Tyson Chandler as the teams' second most impactful player overall. Chandler finished 2nd team All-Defense and his strong playoff showing helped spearhead his DPOY campaign the following season (for the Knicks). Either way -- whether you give the nod to Chandler, Terry, or Kidd -- this would rank at the bottom of our list. None of those players was flirting with All-Star status.
(22) Tony Parker, 2003 San Antonio Spurs
The Parisian Torpedo will be a frequent contributor to this list -- logging a record-setting 3 "second banana" awards for his contributions to the Spurs' incredible run.
Naturally, his first would be his least impactful. Back in 2002-03, Tony Parker was still only 20 years old and in his second season in the league. Still, he was probably their second best player after a prime Tim Duncan. He averaged 15.5 points and 5.3 assists (solid numbers for the era) and held his own against Jason Kidd in the Finals. Parker wouldn't be considered a star yet though -- his first All-Star appearance came three years later.
(21) Andrew Wiggins, 2022 Golden State Warriors
Golden State's title last year was their biggest surprise run, fueled by Steph Curry and a solid-but-unspectacular supporting cast. Among them, you could debate the virtues and flaws of the second bananas -- Draymond Green struggled offensively, Jordan Poole struggled defensively, Klay Thompson missed significant time coming back from injury.
Of that group, I'd suggest Andrew Wiggins was their most well-rounded and consistent second banana. He averaged 17.2 PPG and even made the All-Star team. Better yet, he became a "winning player." He scored more efficiently (39.3% from 3) and played better defense -- particularly in the Finals. That said, Wiggins was probably on the level of a "good starter" more than a typical All-Star. For that reason, we'll rank him below a few others who didn't make the All-Star team.
(20) Tony Parker, 2005 San Antonio Spurs
Tony Parker re-emerges on our list and climbs even higher now in his age-22 season. He still didn't make the All-Star team, but he upped his numbers to 16.6 points and 6.1 assists per game. Again, we have to remember that these averages look better when you factor in the points "inflation" of today. Overall, we'll give him a slight edge over rising Manu Ginobili (who averaged 16.0 PPG off the bench that year), although it's debatable. Of the two, Ginobili played better in the Finals against Detroit. Still, whether it's Parker or Ginobili, the second banana would rank around this same range.
(19) Kyle Lowry, 2019 Toronto Raptors
The Toronto Raptors finally broke through when they rented mercenary Kawhi Leonard for the year, but Leonard was backed up by a very strong supporting cast overall.
Among them, we're giving a slight nod to the old dog Kyle Lowry (then 32) over the rising star Pascal Siakam. Lowry felt like more of the heartbeat to the team. The numbers don't jump off the page (14.2 PPG), but he was a strong two-way player who averaged 8.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game.
(18) Khris Middleton, 2021 Milwaukee Bucks
We have another second banana debate here, although we're leaning to Khris Middleton over Jrue Holiday. It's easy for our memory to get foggy now that Middleton has struggled post injury, but he was a very good starter before that. He averaged 20.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game (not far behind Jrue Holiday's 6.1).
While the 29-year-old Middleton didn't make the All-Star team this season, he was an All-Star caliber player; in fact, he made the team both the prior year and the year after.
(17) Chauncey Billups, 2004 Detroit Pistons
We're giving the primary "star" designation to Ben Wallace here. While "Big Ben" only averaged 9.5 PPG, his defense was the Pistons' biggest differentiator. In 2003-04, Wallace won Defensive Player of the Year and even finished 7th in MVP voting.
Among the other starters, we're giving the nod to Chauncey Billups over Rip Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace. Hamilton had the slight edge in scoring (17.6 PPG to 16.9 PPG), but Billups led the team with 5.7 assists per game and tended to be their go-to guy offensively when need be. Sure enough, "Mr. Big Shot" would go on to win Finals MVP.
(16) Tony Parker, 2007 San Antonio Spurs
As Tim Duncan aged, Tony Parker got better and better. His best second banana season would come in 2006-07. Now age 24, Parker averaged 18.6 points and 5.5 assists per game and made the All-Star team. He shot less threes and relied more on his ability to drive and convert in the paint. He shot 52.0% from the field overall.
In the Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers had no answer for Parker's scoring. He whipped them to the tune of 24.5 points per game (shooting 56.8% from the field in the process). Parker would win Finals MVP for his part in the sweep.
(15) Kawhi Leonard, 2014 San Antonio Spurs
For their last title, the San Antonio Spurs were more the sum of their parts than any one true star. Tim Duncan was 37, Manu Ginobili was 36. Tony Parker had probably graduated from second banana to their marquee player -- he was their leading scorer and lone All-Star that season.
After him, we'll call Kawhi Leonard their next best player. While Leonard wasn't a big name or big scorer yet (averaging 12.8 PPG), he still had a massive impact on winning. He was an efficient offensive player (shooting 52.2% from the field) and an excellent defender. The raw stats suggest that Leonard should be lower than this, but the advanced stats suggest he was already an elite player. Overall, his BPM of +5.0 led the team. We'll make the playoffs the tiebreaker, where Leonard stepped up his scoring and won Finals MVP. If you want to consider him the team's best player this year (which feels like a bit of revisionist history), Parker would rank around this same range.
(14) Kyrie Irving, 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers
Young Kyrie Irving (then 23) also gets a boost for his excellent playoff performance. In the Finals, Irving exploded for 27.1 points per game and helped the Cavs defeat the 73-win Golden State Warriors.
If you look at his 2015-16 as a whole, it gets harder to rank Irving much higher than this. He didn't play that great in the regular season; in fact, it may have been the worst of his career. He only played 53 games, only shot 32.1% from 3 (a career low), and only averaged 4.7 assists (also a career low). He also missed the All-Star game. In terms of peak performance, Irving was an excellent second banana (particularly for LeBron James), but if we gauge this exercise season-by-season he'd rank around middle of the pack.
(13) Pau Gasol, 2009 Los Angeles Lakers
Kobe Bryant rightfully gets the lion's share of credit for the Lakers' repeat from 2009-10, but history may forget how good Pau Gasol was when he arrived from Memphis to help out the cause.
Right in the thick of his prime at age 28, Gasol averaged 18.9 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists. His size, skill, and basketball IQ made him the perfect mind meld with Bryant. All in all, Gasol made the All-Star team and even cracked 3rd team All-NBA. He's the first "All-NBA" sidekick we've registered so far, which explains his lofty ranking.
(12) Pau Gasol, 2010 Los Angeles Lakers
The following year, Pau Gasol was arguably even better. He started to control the paint even more, registering 11.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. Once again, he made the All-Star team and 3rd team All-NBA. Between Gasol, Andrew Bynum, and Lamar Odom off the bench -- this Lakers unit may have had the best frontcourt depth in the 2000s.
(11) Shaquille O'Neal, 2006 Miami Heat
When Shaquille O'Neal first arrived from L.A., he immediately assumed the mantle of the star of the Miami Heat. That first year, he even finished 2nd in MVP voting.
However, by the next year (2005-06), Dwyane Wade had usurped that mantle. Now 33, O'Neal shifted into more of a supporting role. He still had a major impact -- averaging 20.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks -- but became more of a second option as Wade tore up the playoffs. He appeared to slow down as the season wore on -- averaging just 13.7 PPG in the Finals.
Still, O'Neal's accolades this season rank highly -- he was an All-Star and 1st team All-NBA performer. For that reason, we're going to put him above some of the 3rd team All-NBA sidekicks. Still, you can argue against that as O'Neal was more on the level of a Pau Gasol than a true superstar at this point.
(10) Klay Thompson, 2015 Golden State Warriors
When we think about "sidekicks," you immediately think of someone with the skill set of Klay Thompson (then age 24). He took "3 and D" to the extreme -- nailing 43.9% from deep and contributing 1.9 "stocks" on the other end (1.1 steals, 0.8 blocks).
Like Pau Gasol, Klay Thompson made the All-Star and made 3rd team All-NBA that season. In fact, he even made an appearance on an MVP ballot and finished 10th overall in the voting. For a clear "sidekick," that's an impressive feat.
(9) Paul Pierce, 2008 Boston Celtics
Back in 2007-08, Danny Ainge wasn't cobbling together a team of a star + supporting sidekicks -- he was combining three stars who had gotten used to being "the man" in their previous stops. New arrival Kevin Garnett assumed the role as the alpha dog -- averaging 18.8 PPG, playing excellent defense, and finishing third in MVP voting.
Meanwhile, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen played the role of overqualified "Robins." Pierce averaged 19.6 points to lead the team, shooting 39.2% from three. Like our previous second bananas, he made the All-Star team and the 3rd team All-NBA. You also got the sense there was more in the tank when need be, as illustrated by his averaging 21.8 points and 6.3 assists in the Finals en route to Finals MVP.
(8) Dwyane Wade, 2013 Miami Heat
As we jump back and forth through time like a Chris Nolan movie, it may be hard to keep track of the ups and downs of these superstars. For this spot, we're talking about the Dwyane Wade of the "Heatles" days. In 2013, Wade was 31 years old, maybe a step past his prime, and a clear second banana to LeBron James.
Still, even in that role, Wade had a massive impact. In the regular season, he averaged 21.2 points, 5.1 assists, 1.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks. While he may have to take a backseat to LeBron James offensively, he utilized his athleticism to be a wrecking ball on the defensive end. Overall, he finished as an All-Star, 3rd team All-NBA, and even landed in 10th place in MVP voting.
(7) Kobe Bryant, 2000 Los Angeles Lakers
Again, let's pay attention to the timeline here. In the first three-peat of the Shaq and Kobe days, Kobe Bryant was only 21 years old and not at the peak of his powers. Make no mistake -- this was the Shaq Show early on. In the Finals, O'Neal averaged 38.0 points and 16.7 rebounds (more boards than Bryant had points with 15.6 PPG).
Despite that, Bryant was clearly a star player in his own right. He averaged numbers similar to 2013 Wade -- 22.5 points and 1.6 steals per game. He made the All-Star game, 1st team All-Defense, and 2nd team All-NBA, accolades that put him in this lofty spot on our rankings.
(6) Dwyane Wade, 2012 Miami Heat
We're toggling back to Dwyane Wade now -- in the year prior to our 8th place spot. In the Heatles' first title (and Wade's second overall), he was still 30 years old and arguably still in his prime. He averaged 22.1 points, 4.6 assists, and even better defensive numbers -- 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.
For his efforts, he was named to the All-Star team and to the 3rd team All-NBA. He also cracked the MVP voting again, finishing in 10th place once more. We're going to give him a slight edge on Kobe's first title year, but the two would be razor tight; they were both clearly top 10 players in the league at the time.
(5) Anthony Davis, 2020 Los Angeles Lakers
Say what you want about the COVID year, the bubble, and the "Mickey Mouse" championship, but Anthony Davis was a friggin' beast back in 2019-20. He averaged 26.1 points per game, keyed by his ability to get to the line and convert (84.6% shooting on 8.5 FTA per game). He caught fire in the playoffs, averaging a team-high 27.7 PPG with a 66.5% true shooting percentage.
Davis's defensive impact is what sets him apart from most other second bananas. He averaged 1.5 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, earning 1st team All-Defense and nearly winning DPOY. Overall, he made the All-Star team, 1st team All-NBA, and finished 6th in MVP voting. In terms of season accolades, that would be the best on our list so far.
(4) Kobe Bryant, 2001 Los Angeles Lakers
If 1999-2000 Kobe Bryant was still developing, he looked like a finished product by 2000-01. Now age 22, he was a dominant player on both ends. He averaged 28.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 5.0 assists, and made 2nd team All-Defense. Overall, this version of Bryant finished 2nd team All-NBA and finished 9th in MVP voting. That ranking would have probably been even higher had he not missed some time in the regular season (only 68 games played).
Looking back, you could see where some of the tension between Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal may have stemmed from. After all, it's not easy for a kid who put up 29-7-6 in the playoffs to accept being second banana forever.
(3) Kobe Bryant, 2002 Los Angeles Lakers
In the final year of the Lakers' three-peat, the 23-year-old Kobe Bryant had not only established himself as a superstar, but as one of the best players in the entire league. The numbers don't jump off the page -- 25.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists -- but we have to adjust for the era and the role he played.
The league clearly knew his value. He made the All-Star team, 2nd team All-Defense, 1st team All-NBA, and finished 5th in MVP voting (two spots behind Shaquille O'Neal). He'd jump even higher the next year, overtaking O'Neal as the leading scorer (30.0 PPG) and the leading MVP candidate (3rd overall).
(2) Steph Curry, 2018 Golden State Warriors
Finally, we answered the question that had stumped basketball analysts for years: what would happen if you added a superstar to a team that won 73 games the year prior? Turns out, they'd be pretty good.
For our exercise, the bigger challenge is determining who the "second banana" would be between two recent MVPs Steph Curry and Kevin Durant. I'm going to split the difference and say it was Curry's team the first year (when KD coincidentally missed 20 games) and then got handed over to Durant the following year (when Curry missed 30 games).
Through that lens, we're going to study Curry in that second season. Still only 29, Curry was still squarely in his prime. He averaged 26.4 PPG on a sparkling 67.5% true shooting percentage. Even though he missed 31 regular season games, he still finished 3rd team All-NBA and 10th in MVP voting. You could even argue that he was the most impactful player in the NBA at the time. After all, he had won back-to-back MVPs a few seasons prior.
(1) Kevin Durant, 2017 Golden State Warriors
If we're calling Kevin Durant the "second banana" for the first year in Golden State, he'd rank as the best two-way sidekick in the 2000s. Remember, we're not debating "Kobe vs. Durant" in terms of career achievement here; we're ranking their single-season efforts in a supporting role. Unlike some of our other stars (like a young Kobe), Durant was squarely in his prime at age 28.
In the regular season, he averaged 25.1 PPG on stone-cold efficiency (65% true shooting). Also, outside of Oklahoma City's super-sized lineup, he showcased his ability to protect the rim as well -- blocking 1.6 shots per game. Despite missing 20 games in the regular season, he still finished 2nd team All-NBA.
More than that, Durant demonstrated his true upside in the playoffs and Finals. Matched up with LeBron James and a historically-underrated Cavs team, Durant averaged 35.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.6 blocks on godly shooting splits of 56-47-93 (a 69.8% true shooting). Durant was arguably the best player in the NBA that year -- and would be top 3 at minimum. For that reason, he ranks at our top spot.
follow up: where would Jamal Murray or Bam Adebayo rank?
This year's Finals may not be Adam Silver's dream, but it's a great one for this exercise. We rarely see two clear second bananas in the hierarchy like Jamal Murray for Denver or Bam Adebayo for Miami.
Ranking them among the second bananas would be a more difficult task. Coming back from injury, Murray didn't have a great regular season. He's still never made the All-Star team. Still, his ability to raise his game in the playoffs and make tough shots does feel reminiscent of young Kyrie Irving during that Cavs title run.
Alternatively, Adebayo has a great case as a two-way stud. He's not the type of "back you down" big that some people want him to be, but he can still score in the mid-range, he's an underrated passer, and he's obviously an exceptional and switchable defender. He made the All-Star team and second team All-Defense this year. Among our second bananas, he reminds me most of Pau Gasol during the Lakers run.

Less often, you hear: "Is Player Y good enough to be the second best player on a championship team?"
It's time to give these second bananas their due. We're going through the 2000s and ranking each SECOND best player on the title teams. Their values vary -- some were merely good starters, some were All-Stars, and some were arguably top 5 players in the entire league.
Ranking them isn't easy, but we're going to keep a few caveats in mind.
--- We're ranking based on the second banana's play during the course of THAT SEASON -- not their careers overall.
--- Statistics will be important, but not the be-all and end-all. After all, there's a big difference between stats from 2003 and stats from 2023. As a result, we may often defer to season accolades like "All-Star" or "All-NBA."
With all that said, here are my rankings, but feel free to disagree and explain your own ranks below.
THE BEST (title-winning) SECOND BANANAS of the 2000s
(23) Tyson Chandler, 2011 Dallas MavericksThe 2010-11 Dallas Mavericks were probably the most unlikely champion of the 2000s, with Dirk Nowitzki and a cast of older veterans who were seemingly on the decline. At the time, Jason Kidd was 37, Caron Butler was 30, Shawn Marion was 32, and Peja Stojakovic was 33.
You can make the case for Jason Terry to be the second banana here. Terry averaged 15.8 points off the bench for the Mavs that year, which is more impressive when you consider the context. (teams averaged 99.6 PPG then, 114.7 PPG now). Terry also pumped his numbers up to 18.0 PPG in their stunning upset over Miami in the Finals.
Still, we'll give the slight nod to Tyson Chandler as the teams' second most impactful player overall. Chandler finished 2nd team All-Defense and his strong playoff showing helped spearhead his DPOY campaign the following season (for the Knicks). Either way -- whether you give the nod to Chandler, Terry, or Kidd -- this would rank at the bottom of our list. None of those players was flirting with All-Star status.
The Parisian Torpedo will be a frequent contributor to this list -- logging a record-setting 3 "second banana" awards for his contributions to the Spurs' incredible run.
Naturally, his first would be his least impactful. Back in 2002-03, Tony Parker was still only 20 years old and in his second season in the league. Still, he was probably their second best player after a prime Tim Duncan. He averaged 15.5 points and 5.3 assists (solid numbers for the era) and held his own against Jason Kidd in the Finals. Parker wouldn't be considered a star yet though -- his first All-Star appearance came three years later.
Golden State's title last year was their biggest surprise run, fueled by Steph Curry and a solid-but-unspectacular supporting cast. Among them, you could debate the virtues and flaws of the second bananas -- Draymond Green struggled offensively, Jordan Poole struggled defensively, Klay Thompson missed significant time coming back from injury.
Of that group, I'd suggest Andrew Wiggins was their most well-rounded and consistent second banana. He averaged 17.2 PPG and even made the All-Star team. Better yet, he became a "winning player." He scored more efficiently (39.3% from 3) and played better defense -- particularly in the Finals. That said, Wiggins was probably on the level of a "good starter" more than a typical All-Star. For that reason, we'll rank him below a few others who didn't make the All-Star team.
Tony Parker re-emerges on our list and climbs even higher now in his age-22 season. He still didn't make the All-Star team, but he upped his numbers to 16.6 points and 6.1 assists per game. Again, we have to remember that these averages look better when you factor in the points "inflation" of today. Overall, we'll give him a slight edge over rising Manu Ginobili (who averaged 16.0 PPG off the bench that year), although it's debatable. Of the two, Ginobili played better in the Finals against Detroit. Still, whether it's Parker or Ginobili, the second banana would rank around this same range.
The Toronto Raptors finally broke through when they rented mercenary Kawhi Leonard for the year, but Leonard was backed up by a very strong supporting cast overall.
Among them, we're giving a slight nod to the old dog Kyle Lowry (then 32) over the rising star Pascal Siakam. Lowry felt like more of the heartbeat to the team. The numbers don't jump off the page (14.2 PPG), but he was a strong two-way player who averaged 8.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game.
We have another second banana debate here, although we're leaning to Khris Middleton over Jrue Holiday. It's easy for our memory to get foggy now that Middleton has struggled post injury, but he was a very good starter before that. He averaged 20.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game (not far behind Jrue Holiday's 6.1).
While the 29-year-old Middleton didn't make the All-Star team this season, he was an All-Star caliber player; in fact, he made the team both the prior year and the year after.
We're giving the primary "star" designation to Ben Wallace here. While "Big Ben" only averaged 9.5 PPG, his defense was the Pistons' biggest differentiator. In 2003-04, Wallace won Defensive Player of the Year and even finished 7th in MVP voting.
Among the other starters, we're giving the nod to Chauncey Billups over Rip Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace. Hamilton had the slight edge in scoring (17.6 PPG to 16.9 PPG), but Billups led the team with 5.7 assists per game and tended to be their go-to guy offensively when need be. Sure enough, "Mr. Big Shot" would go on to win Finals MVP.
As Tim Duncan aged, Tony Parker got better and better. His best second banana season would come in 2006-07. Now age 24, Parker averaged 18.6 points and 5.5 assists per game and made the All-Star team. He shot less threes and relied more on his ability to drive and convert in the paint. He shot 52.0% from the field overall.
In the Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers had no answer for Parker's scoring. He whipped them to the tune of 24.5 points per game (shooting 56.8% from the field in the process). Parker would win Finals MVP for his part in the sweep.
For their last title, the San Antonio Spurs were more the sum of their parts than any one true star. Tim Duncan was 37, Manu Ginobili was 36. Tony Parker had probably graduated from second banana to their marquee player -- he was their leading scorer and lone All-Star that season.
After him, we'll call Kawhi Leonard their next best player. While Leonard wasn't a big name or big scorer yet (averaging 12.8 PPG), he still had a massive impact on winning. He was an efficient offensive player (shooting 52.2% from the field) and an excellent defender. The raw stats suggest that Leonard should be lower than this, but the advanced stats suggest he was already an elite player. Overall, his BPM of +5.0 led the team. We'll make the playoffs the tiebreaker, where Leonard stepped up his scoring and won Finals MVP. If you want to consider him the team's best player this year (which feels like a bit of revisionist history), Parker would rank around this same range.
Young Kyrie Irving (then 23) also gets a boost for his excellent playoff performance. In the Finals, Irving exploded for 27.1 points per game and helped the Cavs defeat the 73-win Golden State Warriors.
If you look at his 2015-16 as a whole, it gets harder to rank Irving much higher than this. He didn't play that great in the regular season; in fact, it may have been the worst of his career. He only played 53 games, only shot 32.1% from 3 (a career low), and only averaged 4.7 assists (also a career low). He also missed the All-Star game. In terms of peak performance, Irving was an excellent second banana (particularly for LeBron James), but if we gauge this exercise season-by-season he'd rank around middle of the pack.
Kobe Bryant rightfully gets the lion's share of credit for the Lakers' repeat from 2009-10, but history may forget how good Pau Gasol was when he arrived from Memphis to help out the cause.
Right in the thick of his prime at age 28, Gasol averaged 18.9 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists. His size, skill, and basketball IQ made him the perfect mind meld with Bryant. All in all, Gasol made the All-Star team and even cracked 3rd team All-NBA. He's the first "All-NBA" sidekick we've registered so far, which explains his lofty ranking.
The following year, Pau Gasol was arguably even better. He started to control the paint even more, registering 11.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. Once again, he made the All-Star team and 3rd team All-NBA. Between Gasol, Andrew Bynum, and Lamar Odom off the bench -- this Lakers unit may have had the best frontcourt depth in the 2000s.
When Shaquille O'Neal first arrived from L.A., he immediately assumed the mantle of the star of the Miami Heat. That first year, he even finished 2nd in MVP voting.
However, by the next year (2005-06), Dwyane Wade had usurped that mantle. Now 33, O'Neal shifted into more of a supporting role. He still had a major impact -- averaging 20.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks -- but became more of a second option as Wade tore up the playoffs. He appeared to slow down as the season wore on -- averaging just 13.7 PPG in the Finals.
Still, O'Neal's accolades this season rank highly -- he was an All-Star and 1st team All-NBA performer. For that reason, we're going to put him above some of the 3rd team All-NBA sidekicks. Still, you can argue against that as O'Neal was more on the level of a Pau Gasol than a true superstar at this point.
When we think about "sidekicks," you immediately think of someone with the skill set of Klay Thompson (then age 24). He took "3 and D" to the extreme -- nailing 43.9% from deep and contributing 1.9 "stocks" on the other end (1.1 steals, 0.8 blocks).
Like Pau Gasol, Klay Thompson made the All-Star and made 3rd team All-NBA that season. In fact, he even made an appearance on an MVP ballot and finished 10th overall in the voting. For a clear "sidekick," that's an impressive feat.
Back in 2007-08, Danny Ainge wasn't cobbling together a team of a star + supporting sidekicks -- he was combining three stars who had gotten used to being "the man" in their previous stops. New arrival Kevin Garnett assumed the role as the alpha dog -- averaging 18.8 PPG, playing excellent defense, and finishing third in MVP voting.
Meanwhile, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen played the role of overqualified "Robins." Pierce averaged 19.6 points to lead the team, shooting 39.2% from three. Like our previous second bananas, he made the All-Star team and the 3rd team All-NBA. You also got the sense there was more in the tank when need be, as illustrated by his averaging 21.8 points and 6.3 assists in the Finals en route to Finals MVP.
As we jump back and forth through time like a Chris Nolan movie, it may be hard to keep track of the ups and downs of these superstars. For this spot, we're talking about the Dwyane Wade of the "Heatles" days. In 2013, Wade was 31 years old, maybe a step past his prime, and a clear second banana to LeBron James.
Still, even in that role, Wade had a massive impact. In the regular season, he averaged 21.2 points, 5.1 assists, 1.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks. While he may have to take a backseat to LeBron James offensively, he utilized his athleticism to be a wrecking ball on the defensive end. Overall, he finished as an All-Star, 3rd team All-NBA, and even landed in 10th place in MVP voting.
Again, let's pay attention to the timeline here. In the first three-peat of the Shaq and Kobe days, Kobe Bryant was only 21 years old and not at the peak of his powers. Make no mistake -- this was the Shaq Show early on. In the Finals, O'Neal averaged 38.0 points and 16.7 rebounds (more boards than Bryant had points with 15.6 PPG).
Despite that, Bryant was clearly a star player in his own right. He averaged numbers similar to 2013 Wade -- 22.5 points and 1.6 steals per game. He made the All-Star game, 1st team All-Defense, and 2nd team All-NBA, accolades that put him in this lofty spot on our rankings.
We're toggling back to Dwyane Wade now -- in the year prior to our 8th place spot. In the Heatles' first title (and Wade's second overall), he was still 30 years old and arguably still in his prime. He averaged 22.1 points, 4.6 assists, and even better defensive numbers -- 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.
For his efforts, he was named to the All-Star team and to the 3rd team All-NBA. He also cracked the MVP voting again, finishing in 10th place once more. We're going to give him a slight edge on Kobe's first title year, but the two would be razor tight; they were both clearly top 10 players in the league at the time.
Say what you want about the COVID year, the bubble, and the "Mickey Mouse" championship, but Anthony Davis was a friggin' beast back in 2019-20. He averaged 26.1 points per game, keyed by his ability to get to the line and convert (84.6% shooting on 8.5 FTA per game). He caught fire in the playoffs, averaging a team-high 27.7 PPG with a 66.5% true shooting percentage.
Davis's defensive impact is what sets him apart from most other second bananas. He averaged 1.5 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, earning 1st team All-Defense and nearly winning DPOY. Overall, he made the All-Star team, 1st team All-NBA, and finished 6th in MVP voting. In terms of season accolades, that would be the best on our list so far.
If 1999-2000 Kobe Bryant was still developing, he looked like a finished product by 2000-01. Now age 22, he was a dominant player on both ends. He averaged 28.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 5.0 assists, and made 2nd team All-Defense. Overall, this version of Bryant finished 2nd team All-NBA and finished 9th in MVP voting. That ranking would have probably been even higher had he not missed some time in the regular season (only 68 games played).
Looking back, you could see where some of the tension between Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal may have stemmed from. After all, it's not easy for a kid who put up 29-7-6 in the playoffs to accept being second banana forever.
In the final year of the Lakers' three-peat, the 23-year-old Kobe Bryant had not only established himself as a superstar, but as one of the best players in the entire league. The numbers don't jump off the page -- 25.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists -- but we have to adjust for the era and the role he played.
The league clearly knew his value. He made the All-Star team, 2nd team All-Defense, 1st team All-NBA, and finished 5th in MVP voting (two spots behind Shaquille O'Neal). He'd jump even higher the next year, overtaking O'Neal as the leading scorer (30.0 PPG) and the leading MVP candidate (3rd overall).
Finally, we answered the question that had stumped basketball analysts for years: what would happen if you added a superstar to a team that won 73 games the year prior? Turns out, they'd be pretty good.
For our exercise, the bigger challenge is determining who the "second banana" would be between two recent MVPs Steph Curry and Kevin Durant. I'm going to split the difference and say it was Curry's team the first year (when KD coincidentally missed 20 games) and then got handed over to Durant the following year (when Curry missed 30 games).
Through that lens, we're going to study Curry in that second season. Still only 29, Curry was still squarely in his prime. He averaged 26.4 PPG on a sparkling 67.5% true shooting percentage. Even though he missed 31 regular season games, he still finished 3rd team All-NBA and 10th in MVP voting. You could even argue that he was the most impactful player in the NBA at the time. After all, he had won back-to-back MVPs a few seasons prior.
If we're calling Kevin Durant the "second banana" for the first year in Golden State, he'd rank as the best two-way sidekick in the 2000s. Remember, we're not debating "Kobe vs. Durant" in terms of career achievement here; we're ranking their single-season efforts in a supporting role. Unlike some of our other stars (like a young Kobe), Durant was squarely in his prime at age 28.
In the regular season, he averaged 25.1 PPG on stone-cold efficiency (65% true shooting). Also, outside of Oklahoma City's super-sized lineup, he showcased his ability to protect the rim as well -- blocking 1.6 shots per game. Despite missing 20 games in the regular season, he still finished 2nd team All-NBA.
More than that, Durant demonstrated his true upside in the playoffs and Finals. Matched up with LeBron James and a historically-underrated Cavs team, Durant averaged 35.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.6 blocks on godly shooting splits of 56-47-93 (a 69.8% true shooting). Durant was arguably the best player in the NBA that year -- and would be top 3 at minimum. For that reason, he ranks at our top spot.
This year's Finals may not be Adam Silver's dream, but it's a great one for this exercise. We rarely see two clear second bananas in the hierarchy like Jamal Murray for Denver or Bam Adebayo for Miami.
Ranking them among the second bananas would be a more difficult task. Coming back from injury, Murray didn't have a great regular season. He's still never made the All-Star team. Still, his ability to raise his game in the playoffs and make tough shots does feel reminiscent of young Kyrie Irving during that Cavs title run.
Alternatively, Adebayo has a great case as a two-way stud. He's not the type of "back you down" big that some people want him to be, but he can still score in the mid-range, he's an underrated passer, and he's obviously an exceptional and switchable defender. He made the All-Star team and second team All-Defense this year. Among our second bananas, he reminds me most of Pau Gasol during the Lakers run.
2023.06.01 14:46 ChemistryUnlucky5458 Not comfortable (32f) having kids with my Husband yet (35m)
My Husband(35m) and i (32F), Just got married a month ago. We are both planning to have children very soon, but for some reason i now feel uncomfortable having kids with him because he has had unprotected sex before with someone, or multiple women in the past. I don't really know if he has a kid somewhere, and neither does he. Still, the uncertainty makes me feel ngl scared about having kids. I don't want to find out later on down the road that there was a kid looking for him. Maybe cause i married as a virgin, it's a lot to process this possibility. I know it's messed up, but i don't want to deal with this baggage. At the same time i'm trying not to be a selfish person here, and want to support him if anything happens because i love him. I know this is the mature thing to do. I thought i could get passed this issue, but i guess it's still bubbling up. How can i overcome this problem? Thank you.

2023.06.01 14:44 showyouhell Can an Mri scan of the brain detect a past strangulation incident?
Can an Mri scan show signs of a strangulation accident you’ve suffered 2 years ago? My brain was cut off from oxygen for about a minute or less I think? I’m not even sure but only long enough to just slightly lower my concentration and thought clarity, but nothing serious to the point of needing medical attention, since no serious neurological symptoms surfaced yet in all this time.
The question is, even if it didn’t cause any serious long term damage, could minor damages be detected about 2 years after the event, which could be traced back to strangulation?

2023.06.01 14:43 UltimateTraders 6/1/2023 Daily Plays I did try AI puts again sadly no fills flat growth, projected sales 300 million and a loss of 50-70 million LOL what trash! 4.5 billion, May still take small bet on LL sheesh M forecast but PE 3 with some dividends? I was debating TITN shares at 25 but didnt bid
Good morning everyone. Once again, I tried AI puts. It opened yesterday near 41-42 and I tried 2 different puts and no fills… I hope we can see first hand how speculation/momentum take stocks to heights unforeseen! Reality after the bell… More losses… The company is forecasting sales near 300 million for the year.. On those sales losses from 50-70 million…. This is their forecast not mines…
4.5 billion dollars for this cash loser…
I was having a debate all yesterday on Twitter with a Furu with 310,000 followers. He has been pushing AI for weeks.. look, I cant blame anyone, same thing on NVDA .
I do my best to explain it…
The stock market is a live auction. Popularity, not fundamentals decides near term fate of a stock price.
It is simply supply and demand of shares… When a company like AI is short 30-40% it makes it easier for the stock to move higher, because as the price increases, the losses increase, and this can cause an automatic cover at brokerages…
YES! This is stock manipulation!
Because it worked for “Apes” does not make it right. I often said that 20+ years ago, people that did email bombs of stock symbols were fined/banned. Those email bombs contained 50-100 contacts…
Now some dufus on the internet can have 300K+ followers and they are pumping complete garbage… everyone can see it and they join the hype… then sad victims that actually did DD on AI take losses and are forced to cover…
AI went from 26 to 44 in 1 week check the chart…
The momentum on NVDA spilled over… Do you think it is fair and right that the bull herd causes massive short coverings on AI ?
To me, it is sad, and unfortunate, you can not turn off the internet… 2020/2021 it worked and made a ton of people money….
After the bell reality check?
Not really, based on the earnings and guidance for the full year AI is still speculative at 10…
10!
However, a lot of people are still brainwashed so it wont head there… not short term… I am on the fence if I want to bid on puts again on AI, I may wait….
M very bad guidance. I don’t like retail at the moment and would stay away from the sector, share wise… but I may be interested in small bets with CALL options. I have been on the fence with FL for the same reason. The guidance was also off a cliff bad… The PE is so low, it can go lower, of course, but small bets? M still is guiding for near 3 dollar profits full year. If it gets tagged I may get calls….. TITN did drop under 25 yesterday.. but I was busy bidding on AI puts…
Also, I do not fell compelled to get in any trade.. I don’t like the way the market is trading. It is extremely irrational, but out of my control. As I have said before, either the market comes down hard.. or earnings/sales start to fly again… The market isn’t going anywhere, and no one is forcing me to trade. I am in 90% cash and just waiting…there is no FOMO here.
5 trade ideas:
M – It was down to 12.40 pre market… I wouldn’t buy the shares.. but like LL FL I may want call options… TITN is agriculture, I may want shares
AI – I am on the fence if I will bid, that would have been amazing if any of my puts would have filled. I was trying 30, 35 and 37.50 again!
AAL – This dipped under 14.50 a share yesterday, I did not place a bid. They revised up for the full year, the airlines, for the most part have impressed
ARCO – I have been watching this closely since they slammed earnings 5/17/2023, this Mcdonalds franchisee hit a 52 week high after earnings of 9.26. Yesterday, it fell to 8.40. Earnings have been good for many quarters in a row. Will this pull back to 8.10-8.25?
HOG – This bike maker has fell from 34 to just under 31 the last few days.. They have had very strong earnings the last 2 quarters. I may be forced to buy shares at 30?
The contents of this post are for information and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, accounting, or legal advice. ... By choosing to make a trade you are responsible for your own actions. Please do some due diligence. These are trades I am making and you can follow along. If you make a winning trade, I do not even expect a bravo or thanks but that’s fine, if you lose on a trade the same difference.. I do not even expect an upvote or reward… The Elite team is aware of the risks and volatility in the market.
Good luck everyone let’s make money. Share trades, ideas here during trading hours. Our main goal here is to make money so I hope we can help eachother. I will be in and out of here as well.

2023.06.01 14:43 sushmitasinhaa11 Unlock the Perfect Life Insurance Plan: 10 Essential Tips for Your Journey
"In this uncertain world, one must be confident in the safety of their loved ones." This can be accomplished by arming oneself with life insurance."- In these few words, an unknown author eloquently captures the importance of life insurance.
A life insurance policy is nothing but a simple agreement between you and the insurer. In exchange for recurring premiums paid by you, the insurer pays out a sum to you or your loved ones after a certain term known as maturity.
However, life insurance has several additional benefits aside from providing a financial safety net for your loved ones in your absence.
However, life insurance has several additional benefits aside from providing a financial safety net for your loved ones in your absence. It can serve as a savings vehicle, promote financial independence in old age, and aid in the reduction of your tax* duty. There are numerous advantages to investing in life insurance. However, selecting the right plan for yourself can be difficult.
· Include the total amount of outstanding debts and mortgage repayment costs.
· Determine the amount required for future expenses like your child's education or wedding.
· Subtract the sum of your liquid assets, such as cash or investments, from the aforementioned expenses to arrive at adequate life insurance coverage.
· Accidental Death Benefit rider provides an additional amount to your nominee(s) in case of your sudden demise caused by an accident. This safeguard ensures your family's future and helps maintain their current lifestyle.
· A permanent Disability rider acts as a waiver for all future premiums if you become permanently disabled due to an accident. Your life cover remains in effect for the remaining policy duration.
· Terminal Illness rider grants access to funds for coping with terminal ailments like cancer by providing a full payout prior to death.
Always look for an insurer that offers these benefits without imposing hidden fees.

It can serve as a savings vehicle, promote financial independence in old age, and aid in the reduction of your tax* duty. There are numerous advantages to investing in life insurance. However, selecting the right plan for yourself can be difficult.
How do you pick the finest life insurance policy?
Here is a guide to help you choose the best coverage for your needs.- Reflect on your life insurance objectives: Every person has unique goals when it comes to life insurance. It's crucial to plan for these goals by selecting an appropriate life insurance policy. If your main priority is securing your family's financial well-being, you may consider purchasing a term insurance plan that provides high coverage at affordable rates. For those looking to save for their child's education or buy their dream house, investing in a unit-linked insurance plan could be a viable option. Additionally, a retirement plan can ensure a steady income to cover your expenses after retirement.
- Determine the ideal insurance coverage you require: Financial advisors often recommend having life coverage at least ten to fifteen times your current annual income at the time. However, there are several factors to consider when estimating the appropriate life insurance amount. If you have outstanding debts, it might be challenging for your family to handle the Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs) in your absence. You should also allocate funds for your children's higher education or marriage. Inflation can pose difficulties for your family in maintaining their current lifestyle without the primary breadwinner. To calculate the total coverage needed, consider the following:
· Include the total amount of outstanding debts and mortgage repayment costs.
· Determine the amount required for future expenses like your child's education or wedding.
· Subtract the sum of your liquid assets, such as cash or investments, from the aforementioned expenses to arrive at adequate life insurance coverage.
- Assess the premium amount and find the best policy deal: Use online premium calculators to determine the premium you need to pay for the desired life insurance amount. Compare multiple different plans to find a policy that offers extensive coverage within your budget. Consider your future earnings when deciding on the premium payment term.
- Pick the right duration for your policy: It's best if the policy term matches the number of years you will have dependents. A useful guideline is to subtract your present age from the retirement age, at which you expect your income to stop or when you plan to accomplish a specific life objective. Otherwise, you can go for a plan like Zindagi Protect by Edelweiss Tokio Life Insurance, which can offer you life coverage for up to 99 years! The fact that it is also a zero cost term plan further makes it a great option.
- Select a trustworthy provider for life insurance: Trustworthy life insurance companies generally maintain a Claim Settlement Ratio (CSR) exceeding 95% consistently. The CSR indicates the proportion of claims resolved by the company in relation to the total number of claims submitted in a given fiscal year. To check the updated CSR of various insurance providers in India, visit the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDAI) website. Additionally, reading customer reviews can help gauge the efficiency and promptness of a life insurer's claims service.
- Provide accurate information to your life insurance provider: Be transparent with your life insurer regarding any tobacco or alcohol consumption, occupation in a hazardous industry, existing illnesses, or a family history of critical ailments. These details impact your risk profile, and it's crucial to disclose them accurately to prevent claim rejection in the future.
- Thoroughly review the final policy document: Before making a final commitment, carefully read and understand all the terms and conditions. Pay attention to relevant details, such as the lock-in period and the circumstances in which a claim may be invalidated.
- Obtain life insurance at a young age: Life insurance premium amounts are generally lower when you are younger. Therefore, purchasing a life insurance policy early in your earning years can help you save on premium costs. You can start with a lower coverage amount and increase it as your income grows.
- Opt for a comprehensive plan: Medical emergencies can significantly impact your income. Hence, it is important to select a comprehensive plan that includes appropriate riders:
· Accidental Death Benefit rider provides an additional amount to your nominee(s) in case of your sudden demise caused by an accident. This safeguard ensures your family's future and helps maintain their current lifestyle.
· A permanent Disability rider acts as a waiver for all future premiums if you become permanently disabled due to an accident. Your life cover remains in effect for the remaining policy duration.
· Terminal Illness rider grants access to funds for coping with terminal ailments like cancer by providing a full payout prior to death.
Always look for an insurer that offers these benefits without imposing hidden fees.
- Regularly evaluate your life insurance needs: It's essential to assess your life insurance requirements periodically, considering factors such as age, life events like marriage or childbirth, and changing financial goals. Reviewing your life insurance coverage regularly allows you to adjust it accordingly, ensuring it keeps up with inflation and adequately protects your loved ones.
Conclusion
Life insurance holds significant importance as a financial tool. By keeping these tips in mind and conducting thorough research, you can find the best life insurance policy with sufficient coverage.2023.06.01 14:42 pueblo81009 Former Gwinnett County teacher accused of molesting student faces judge
https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/gwinnett-county-teacher-accused-of-molesting-student-faces-judge-rkheim-young
GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - A now former Gwinnett County teacher accused of molesting a student at school faced a judge Wednesday in a bid to be given bond.
For nearly three months, R'Kheim Young has been held in jail without bond. At the Gwinnett County Courthouse on Wednesday, his defense attorney asked a judge to let him go home.
"The constitution says that when in doubt, we're supposed to err on the side of the defendant," said Steve Adkins, Young’s defense attorney. "I think if the defendant meets the criteria for a bond, then I think he should be granted a bond."
Young has been a teacher for more than a decade, but he is accused of inappropriate conduct on the job.
"The victim indicated that she had sent a text message to her mother on Feb. 27, 2023, asking her to pick her up from school because her teacher, Mr. Young had touched her and made her touch him," said Scott Estes, a Gwinnett County Assistant District Attorney.

Investigators say Young was a teacher at a small private school in Lawrenceville when the alleged crime took place.
Young has been in jail since he was arrested in early March on several charges, including child molestation. Police say they believe Young was grooming the victim.
On Wednesday, his attorney asked for a bond of $10,000 or less.
The prosecutor asked for no bond, and said Young is a risk to the community.
"We believe that there is information that he, at a minimum, made inappropriate comments to other students at the school," Estes said.

The victim’s parents said they also want no bond. They released this statement:
"As her parents, we are frustrated that it seems even following his admission of what was done to our daughter, he’s continuing to fall back on this being just a misunderstanding. As his attorney stated in court today, he’s been a teacher for over a decade; How do you not know the things you said and did were more than a 'misunderstanding?' His attorney also stated the letter he wrote could be interpreted two ways for what he apologized for. If you haven’t done anything, what is there to apologize for? His family sat in the courtroom today, wanting him to be free to live his life because he’s not a violent criminal. And what I wish they knew was his decision has caused our daughter to be a prisoner as well, in a much deeper way. Her Father and I, of course, wanted a ruling today of no bond, but we do appreciate the judge taking the time to consider all aspects and make a more informed decision. We are hopeful the Judge will see his admission and the pain he’s caused our daughter and entire family, and not allow him the freedom he took from our daughter."
The prosecutor said Young wrote a letter of apology to the family, but his defense attorney says he never admitted to a crime.
"Apology can mean a lot of things and the State often takes that and runs with it and just assumes that they're apologizing for the crime," Adkins said.
During Wednesday's bond hearing, the judge delayed the decision whether to allow Young to be released while she figures out what to do.
A bond decision could come at any time. FOX 5 is working on obtaining updates.

2023.06.01 14:41 F2PMasochist Next Zenkai Predictions
I think we'll finally get our next LF zenkai in the form of PUR UI Goku so he can buff Goku/Frieza with Purple Universe Rep, if not an LF zenkai I suspect Blue Toppo for the same reason of BLU Universe Rep.
Either of these thematically make sense and both buff the headliner unit but I am personally actually hoping for Toppo so we can see more of him in the game cause all of his units have fallen off and we barely had any to begin with. Also a viable triple UI team with revival sounds awful to deal with lol.
Thoughts on any universe rep zenkais you think it could be/personally want?

2023.06.01 14:40 Azimovikh [Mini-lore] [Esoteric] Paralogism
From the calling, of something beyond (para-) logic. Paralogical concepts are illogical, paradoxical, yet concrete methods or concepts that can be manifested as effects. While maybe the effects can be tangible, the true root or cause of which, and the patterns or information required to create such effect is sealed or conceptually non-streamlined. As in that paralogism does not have an objective method, which would result in such measured results. One cannot expect, with the same procedure and pattern, to create the same results within the confines of paralogism. The identifying roots or the true nature having obscured, but still truly works as an effect.
Paralogism is different in comparison to postlogism. Paralogical thinking can be described as something magical or deeper, in the vein of enlightenment; while postlogical thinking is reasoning to degrees beyond the "conventional logic" that Old-Earth baselines use. Postlogical thought correlates with the increase of reason and mental capability of an entity, accessible to entities such as hyperintelligences; while paralogical thought requires their own cryptic and enigmatic form of "enlightenment" that differs from postlogical thinking.
An example of paralogical thought are paracausality keys, the understanding of the technological usage of paracausality, or the foundations which are used to construct and engineer paracausal engines, or to create any other effects involving the higher undermining of causality. On which to construct devices capable of anomalous feats, such as superluminal travel. Further arguments for the paralogical nature of paracausality includes the outright incomprehensibility and blackbox nature of these designs, the engineering inconsistencies, the fact that only 3 recorded civilization trees in the Milky Way have access to such devices.
Metaphysical esoteric arts, or as one would call them thaumaturgy, sorcery, or true magic. As quoted from the esotericist guilds, 'the ability to perform magic are determined by accessing a deeper layer of the personal, conscious soul, upon which a spiritual enlightenment is required as a foundation.' To create metaphysical and physical effects as casted by one's own will and judgement, from the dawn of the deep soul.' As poetic as it is, it is a description that the act of magic is subjective in nature, rather depending on one person instead of being measurable or methodical in the way of paralogism. The existence of guilds or esoteric organizations connect with them in their unique and enigmatic ways, whilst still conforming to this concept, being more of spiritual, personal waypoints, instead of objective guides to train one's expertise or capability in the esoteric arts.
There could be deeper unknowable secrets. Perhaps something to alter reality on a further level, unknowable minds or states that the Archminds have, traslated as revelations; technologies to interface with higher aspects; ontotechnology, paratechnology; and those which are illogical secrets, yet interlinked with this transcendental logic.
Paralogism, mysteries upon mysteries, an anomaly in the otherwise more rigid world in the physical, or perhaps something higher than the physical, associated with the metaphysical. Either way, such could be said as a transcendental family of concepts, or equalized as the ramblings of mad beings.

As poetic as it is, it is a description that the act of magic is subjective in nature, rather depending on one person instead of being measurable or methodical in the way of paralogism. The existence of guilds or esoteric organizations connect with them in their unique and enigmatic ways, whilst still conforming to this concept, being more of spiritual, personal waypoints, instead of objective guides to train one's expertise or capability in the esoteric arts.
There could be deeper unknowable secrets. Perhaps something to alter reality on a further level, unknowable minds or states that the Archminds have, traslated as revelations; technologies to interface with higher aspects; ontotechnology, paratechnology; and those which are illogical secrets, yet interlinked with this transcendental logic.
Paralogism, mysteries upon mysteries, an anomaly in the otherwise more rigid world in the physical, or perhaps something higher than the physical, associated with the metaphysical. Either way, such could be said as a transcendental family of concepts, or equalized as the ramblings of mad beings.

I recently discovered that California is an at-will employment state which from my understanding is that John, a good and loyal worker, can get fired from his job at any time, without a valid excuse. How is this fair? I feel like this type of employment arrangement causes a lot of uncertainty for the employee. What if he wants to take out a loan / mortgage? Personally, I would be hesitant to do so because I could be fired at any time, rendering me unable to return my loan if I did not find another employment.

2023.06.01 14:40 ixilver15 Hammer, switch axe what next?
Mained hammer around 470 hunts. Decided to experiment with other weapons because i was annoyed with having to keep up the self buff impact burst and switch scrolls so I can use impact crater. Also the hunt times were not too good.
Tried S&S it was super fun, the combos the doging. Damage output was better than hammer, but on bigger monsters I just hit the feet and it didn't feel impactful. I just cut their legs. When you hit monsters head with downward shield strike its super satisfying. Also back hop is awesome.
Tried the SwAxe and omg this shit is so OP. Hunt times immediately went down to like 6 minutes on anomaly when I crafted all the elemental sets. Currently I have about 90 hunts but it doesn't really feel fun other than ZSD and that got boring pretty quickly.
I'm MR100 so still a long way to go. What weapon would you guys recommend me try out? Might go back to S&S. If I don't find anything I just stick to switch axe cause the damage is bonkers

2023.06.01 14:38 Ok-Mushroom-2948 former reactive dog owner training a SD
i really want to know if anyone else has went through something like this.
2 years ago, i adopted hex. long story short, he became dog and human reactive+his physical health was shit, even as a 1 year old dog. as a 19 year old, i was unable to keep up with his medical bills and i couldn’t take him to physical therapy 3x a week. his frustration reactivity turned into aggression. he became unpredictable. after i was hospitalized and i realized that no one was going to be able to retrieve him from my apt safely (none of my friends or family felt comfortable around him), i relinquished him back to the shelter with full warnings of his behavior. i didn’t have the resources to care for him any longer. i love him and i always will wonder what could’ve been but he needed more than me.
my experience with hex changed me. i’m hyper-vigilant whenever i’m walking with a dog. it reshaped how i think about dog training (i was working as an apprentice dog trainer when i got hex). i wasn’t planning on getting another dog for a while and i was never planning on getting another rescue.
however, late last year, my friend and i went to a shelter because she was adopting a cat. we decided to look at the puppies cause why wouldn’t you look at the puppies? one crawled into my lap and wouldn’t move. when i picked him up, he wrapped his paws around my neck and wouldn’t let go. two days later, he came home with me and i named him beau.
it became apparent that beau was a cautious yet confident dog, low prey drive, incredibly smart and food motivated, etc.. i was saving up for a prospect, so i decided to give it a shot. he’s solid on most of his obedience training and has picked up tasking well. yet i’ve been too afraid to bring many places since he left his socialization phase. all i can think of is worst case scenarios. due to my current living situation and his severe confinement anxiety (we are working on it and it’s getting better), i have no choice but to bring him to a doggy daycare at least once a week or risk getting kicked out for noise complaints (husky mix). this has convinced me that he’s gonna be reactive even though he’s literally never shown any signs of reactivity.
he’s 11 months old now and a few months ago we moved with my friend and her service dog. she’s helped my confidence surrounding his training increase and has proved to me that i’ve done a good job. she’s also called me out on my thought processes when out with the dogs, showing me that what i think is happening or going to happen isn’t. she convinced me to bring him with us to a pet friendly patio. he did phenomenal!
now, over the past two weeks, i’ve been bringing him into more challenging situations and gaining more confidence in myself as a handler. but there’s still the lingering anxiety of what if he changes? what if i put in all of this time and effort and become reliant on him for him to become reactive or aggressive? realistically, i know that that wont happen but then again it’s happened before.
has anyone else had a similar experience? how did you work through it?
