I suppose you'll have to settle for doing something a little smaller.

I missed the beginning. With Shead starting did Quickley operate more as a shooting guard to start the game?

If you are getting your broadcast through the internet then there will be quite a bit of latency.

Not sure how exactly the infrastructure differs but cable TV through coax before had far less latency, but most cable uses the internet connection now.

That's my guess as to what's happening!

I'm not in America but I think one of the difficulties we face globally is that political discussion has largely been shaped by social media and the "dunking on strangers" approach it promotes and amplifies. As though being digitally reactive and feeling right all the time is where politics ends.

I think you're right. They could vote in 2000, vote in 2004, vote in 2016, and vote in 2024. Unreliable voters for decades now as they allow their politicians to drag them into autocracy while most of them sit on their asses waiting another two years for a chance to watch their country fall further.

I like this metric but it begs the question... who's your online partner 👀??

Thanks for the response and recommendation! I added it to my reading list. Along the same theme, I just finished The Attention Merchants by Tim Wu. I thought it was an extremely well done history on the subject of hoarding people's attention and data for profit.

They drain you of your life force, Carol?

I mean if you've got a dunk at 5'7" with a bad knee then that's impressive. Even if you need a trampoline for your showstoppers. Good for you.

Well, let's start with your ability to dunk. How tall are you? What is your vertical? Is it more of a tip dunk or are you throwing down windmills?
