Hood should be the priority

I don't think you need all this evidence to simply convey that water is obviously necessary for top physical performance. The religious angle is secondary. My issue is not that, it never was. It was the idea that this fast is the sole explanation for Kanter's performance and then using this evidence to justify avoiding others like Kanter is what bugged me.

ok...that I get...point taken

do you honestly believe calling somebody ignorant is not insulting?

or are you just assuming one of several definitions of ignorant, the part about 'lacking knowledge'?

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!!!!

We have a winner!

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!!!!

like I said, that is one definition; but there are several others that are less and less benign

* uneducated or unsophisticated
* uninformed, unenlightened, backward
* rude, impolite, ill-mannered
* showing lack of knowledge or intelligence

"There are several meanings of ignorant, all of which are concerned with a lack of knowledge in some sense; some of these are more insulting than others, and care should be exercised before applying this word to people who you do not wish to offend. Saying “They were ignorant of most of the laws of physics” means that the people in question did not have a specific body of learning. Saying “You are an ignorant person” is possibly describing someone as primitive, crude, or uncivilized."

the irony is if somebody is aware of the many definitions of ignorant, they might be more offended by the label than somebody who is ignorant about ignorant...if you know what I mean

Sorry this thread got hijacked from its original intent.

That was a good derail. Seriously. I just learned a bunch of stuff, on things I had wondered about.

And, not that my opinion means shit, but for the most part; it was done without having everyone toss piles of shit at each other. Well, at least for this place, it was minor..... Lol. Having members here having constant bitchfests, really sucks. Again, just IMHO.

Anyways, I want to keep them all! Come on NO!!!

Yup. If the Blazers use the Full MLE their salary cant pass $139M (apx. $7M past the luxury tax line) for the whole season. If they don't want that restriction, they can only use the tax-payer MLE.

The apron is always $6 million over the tax line.

The apron is always $6 million over the tax line.

Nope. Each year the apron rises by one-half of the percentage that the salary cap does.

Nope. Each year the apron rises by one-half of the percentage that the salary cap does.

So more like $138.3M if it's set at an even $132M. I figured itd be $132M and some change.

Would that be Curry x 2 or Curry squared?

That would be “two servings of curry” for me please
