What to do at the Trade Deadline
QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 11:30 AM) voted sell but limited sell. 2017 is their last chip at the craps table. Yes, I think of this more of a tactical retreat. OTOH, I think there are some teams that might let go of the big haul, and we'll once again say "Oh well you can't expect to get that everytime that's a rare deal"

Home remodel
That was one of the easiest quote processes I've had. It's all there. We had some issues with sub flooring but timeline and money wise I feel like they have this process down.

Everyone points to Garcia, but it's Abreu's slide that's k
Yeah. Our star 1b is now giving us the production we expected from 35 year old Adam LaRoche.

Home remodel
QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 09:58 AM) Does anybody have any experiences they can share with having a company or person come in and install hardwood flooring in their homes? I'm looking to purchasing a home that has mostly carpet throughout and I'm trying to gauge how much of a hassle financially and mentally something like this takes. I had a recommendation from my wifes parents (he did their floors) whom we met and liked. Our experience - - We refinished our floors and replaced a whole section of vinyl tile to match the wood throughout the rest of the first floor. He matched the stain perfectly and 1 year in nobody would be able to know we had a section added much later - He came in at quote, and his quote was competitive - Floors need to be the first thing you do, the amount of dust this creates should not be underestimated. We did the steps of floors first, skim coated our plaster walls second, painted third. Don't move your stuff in before your floors for obvious reasons beside dust. Overall though, this was one of my favorite projects we did and was worth every penny.

It's over for 2016
QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 10:27 AM) Per ESPN, no team with a sub-.500 record in mid-July has ever won another game. I know you are trying to be the reasonable voice, but what team currently ahead of us in the standards would you refuse to swap rosters with?

What to do at the Trade Deadline
I don't know what to do. I don't trust Hahn to do a rebuild not because I don't think he could get the best return (though I have my doubts) but because he has proven he can't sell the patience required to have a wave of young talent come up at once. I just would prefer we don't buy unless it is for a long term player in a down year we think could be useful later.

2016-2017 NBA Thread
That's the game you like from Grant. Valentine has been funny from 3pt line. Missing short short short, then taking 2pters just inside line and draining em. Needs the summer.

**2016 TV Watercooler Thread**
I'm intrigued where night of goes: does it go to court, using the testimony for flashbacks? Do they start investigating independently? I can't imagine they box themselves in too much (court procedural) but I was surprised how much they focused on his journey to jail.

No something is up. You don't see his mom the whole time. The lunch scenes looked more like a cafeteria. This is something with the unreliable narrator again.

**2016 Films Thread**
QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 07:10 AM) The commercials and clips make it look like satire to the original. It wasn't. And after thinking about it last night one of the biggest was havin. 4 comedians that they treated all as equitable. Bill Murray was the star of ghostbusters and he shined obviously. This had Kristin Wiig playing the straight person basically (huge waste) while Kate McKinnon was electric but I don't think they knew what they had there and she was not given much at all. Script was really just a mess.

Ghostbusters was not good. Too many jokes fell flat it takes you out of even the funny ones

Military Coup in Turkey
F-16s shooting down helicopters according to people I can't verify on Twitter. I don't think this coup will stick.

I had a friend teaching for DOD base in Turkey that was forced to leave 2 months ago. You always wonder how much we know about stuff like this.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 03:37 PM) So yeah, what are NATO's rules when there's a military coup in a NATO nation? Good question.

I would too, but I'm more reluctant to move a big package for a CF that will make us slightly above average.

2016 Democratic Thread
Greg remember when michelle obama during the 08 nomination process when she was slandered as having a tape where she calls white people "Whitey"? When she was hammered for saying "for the first time of my life I was proud " of being an American speech? Was that not in the Youtube video?
