        I’m winning but my star (4th overall last season) is dogshit. He won’t make 1st team conference and my conference is ‘down’ - Will Hunting Nov 8, 15:42 2
        
        Is he a sophomore? I’ve noticed a pronounced sophomore slump in guys. -- nm - spamlet Nov 8, 15:48 1
        
        Yes. This is weird. Like he is down 20% in points and game score, 40 in rebounds (I can figure that out) and up 50% in fouls. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 8, 15:51

Have you been YOLOing call options and Gamestop on Robinhood? You may have been breached -- (link) - spamlet Nov 8, 14:50
probably already discussed, but Baldwin thinks that hollywood productions should hire cops to review/monitor guns on set. - tRuMaN Nov 8, 14:19 20
- "Hiring cops" seems a bit much. - Mop Nov 8, 18:26
- I don't know about police. My first thought would be military. But at least someone with tons of training. -- nm - loosilu Nov 8, 15:19 5
  - Like an armorer? -- nm - Dano Nov 8, 15:25 3
    - I"m sure you guys know more detail than me. Wondering why Baldwin would prefer police? -- nm - loosilu Nov 8, 15:26 2
      - He’s suffering a massive amount of guilt and is throwing ideas against the wall. He’s probably getting around the clock therapy - Will Hunting Nov 8, 15:55
      - Because no one can tell them what to do. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 8, 15:28
  - yes. too bad he missed the bigger picture of NO real guns on sets. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 8, 15:21
- I would guess he was an actor with a producer credit, not an actual producer. - the wrong element Nov 8, 14:44 7
  - Yep, big difference. -- nm - loosilu Nov 8, 15:18
  - Yeah, it very much sounded like he was the name producer of the 12 to get some chance at a return. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 8, 14:46 5
    - true, but at the same time, he probably would have had enough pull to make this happen if he had wanted to. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 8, 14:52 4
      - They had a dedicated position for guns. I mean, realistically his idea is redundant if they had the protocols followed. - Will Hunting Nov 8, 14:57 3
        
        This could be totally wrong, I read that a veteran armorer turned down the job and it went to someone inexperienced. -- nm - loosilu Nov 8, 15:24 1
        
        The girls dad is a long time veteran armorer. She has the on-paper background…it wasn’t some geek off the street. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 8, 15:52
        
        true. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 8, 14:59
- *googling Police officer accidentally shoots self videos...* -- nm - Max Nov 8, 14:25 1
  - I think the most famous is the dude who shoots himself in the foot just as he's lecturing kids about gun safety. -- nm - loosilu Nov 8, 15:18
- the producers should never handle the guns. It only went to him because he's also the actor in the scene. -- nm - Reagen Nov 8, 14:22 2
  - remix: "Mr. Baldwin, as a Producer, couldn't you have hired cops to review/monitor guns on the set of your own movie?" -- nm - Max Nov 8, 14:27 1
    - Sure if he’s more than a PINO but I doubt that’s the case. -- nm - spamlet Nov 8, 15:07
Oh, and my premium contribution for health insurance next year went up 10%. - znufrii Nov 8, 14:05 2
- Mine too. And homeowner's insurance too due to the rise of construction costs. They also suggested raising the replacement value for the same reason. -- nm - jnine Nov 8, 15:48
- Average of 6.6% here but won’t know mine specifically until later in the week when open enrollment starts. -- nm* - spamlet Nov 8, 14:05
