        Don't worry, I figured out my obtuseness already. My main takeaway though... - Roger More Jun 22, 14:12 2
        
        It's definitely weird that he's only four years older than the player he just traded for. -- nm - David Jun 22, 14:17 1
        
        I gotta admit that currently I can't get past that he still looks like the Mike Dunleavy Jr who struggled playing for the Warriors - JD Jun 22, 14:25
- Done:Bradley Beal trade landing the Wizards six second-round draft picks and four first-round pick swaps, sources tell ESPN. Suns are sending seconds -- (link) - budice Jun 22, 12:46 2
  - I mean anything is possible five and seven years from now but the current GM could be long gone and will make the future GM seem like a genius - JD Jun 22, 13:25
  - So … why the hell are there pick swaps? We can’t trade from lottery to late 20’s. Course after this week…maybe our idiot GM would. -- nm - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jun 22, 12:49

Last week I tweaked my ankle (totally during a workout, not just walking around at the gym before). Not a "sprain" in the sense that it turned colors, -- (edited) - oblique 🌈 Jun 22, 12:28 10

  - hmm. I may have one of those ankle compression things in the house. Thanks -- nm - oblique 🌈 Jun 22, 12:50

    - he'll try and weasel out of it the same way he tried to weasel out of buying twitter -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 22, 13:37 4
      - for sure. Zuck just called his bluff now Elon going to wuss the fuck out -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Jun 22, 14:10
      - oh 1000%, this is never going to happen -- nm - Jovian Jun 22, 13:45 2

  - I just wish I saw it on the side of the road in the grass. -- (edited) - Jovian Jun 22, 12:31 2
    - I nearly hit a groundhog today. Avoid seven years of bad shadows, or something. -- nm - Spawn Jun 22, 12:49 1
      - Bad Shadows sounds like a decent horror movie. -- nm - Andie Jun 22, 12:50

NBA - Wizards are finalizing a deal to send Chris Paul to the Golden State Warriors for a package that includes Jordan Poole and future draft assets. -- (link) - budice Jun 22, 12:14 1

    - Underwater equivalent of this -- (link) - Reagen Jun 22, 12:49 [youtube]
    - So maybe at least a quick death. Compared to suffocating or prolonged leak and drowning. - sycor Jun 22, 12:23 3
      - A "prolonged leak" at that depth would have had a pressure of 5500psi, almost like a water knife -- nm - Beryllium Jun 22, 12:25 2
        
        Measurable with a stop watch is prolonged! -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 12:47 1

        What assets do they have? A support ship, a building in the port, liability insurance? I suppose it was incorporated so her home is safe. -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 22, 13:11
        
        True, his widow works there. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 12:08
        
        based on that CBS video from last year, pretty sure anyone who got inside one signed a full waiver and release of claims -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 22, 12:06 1
        
        waivers like pre nups aren't worth the paper they are written on. A judge will just say a jury has to decide then you are at trial anyway -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jun 22, 13:13
Denver Nuggets made another trade for draft picks. They now have 29, 32 and 37 -- (link) - Beaker 🍺 Jun 22, 11:54 3
- It all makes sense given their need for cheap role players the next three years. -- nm - David Jun 22, 11:59 1
  - oh 100%. the new CBA is deadly for over the cap teams. Not just money but losing different signing options too I've read -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jun 22, 12:01

So here's my question this submersible was launched from a ship right which means the ship would have been where it launched - eag Jun 22, 11:50 8
- if the reports are correct that they found this debris 500 meters from Titanic’s bow that would suggest they weren’t “lost” so much as they were at - hollywood big shot Jun 22, 12:00 1
  - So they may have made it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 12:03
- there are a lot of undersea currants -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 22, 11:52 1
  - And all those sea raisins as well... -- nm - Ender Jun 22, 16:40

  - Sorry, nm -- (link*) - mara Jun 22, 12:01 2
    - There's at least one mistake. They say it uses Starlink for comms. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 12:26 1
