    Caitlin Clark debut

    But how valid is the claim that she is more focused on as a rookie than sue bird or other top women out of college? I don’t know how the coaching is but I do know the fever were one of the worst teams so it stands to reason you would focus a lot of attention on Clark. But it also stands to reason the same happened to other top picks? Maybe?

    I’ve only seen highlights because it’s her so I can’t speak fully to how they are guarding her. Have you watched that much wnba throughout the years?

    but what does this speak to? Clark's stardom? Or the overall ineptitude of the WNBA/prior rookies? She's not lighting it up STATS Regular Season Career GP MIN PTS REB AST STL BLK TO FG% 8 32.1 17.3 5.4 6.3 1.4 1.1 5.5 38.1

    Safe Driving Apps

    I agree that we need safer drivers. I consider myself a good driver. No accidents of any kind in the last 5 years and no at fault accidents in the last 15. Admittedly I have a tendency to get pulled over for speeding but have never been issued a ticket. My problem with these safe driving apps from the companies themselves is that, from everything I am reading, you have to have it constantly running on your phone. If you disallow permissions or turn your device off for too long they will take you out of the program and take away the small discount they are giving you. I am also reading that if they feel you are driving more miles or they detect hard braking, or other patterns that they would associate with a higher risk driver, they will increase your premium and give you BS reasoning that it's just the category you fall into or rates rose across the industry. I don't think something like braking hard should warrant a higher premium, just because we tend to associate that with poorer drivers. No accidents? no violations? ... tough to make a determination on someone based on a cell phone app. I was considering it with Geico but am not going to bother. the 10% discount isn't worth even having to worry that they might raise my rates in any fashion due to app data. ... and I would never switch to a company that makes them mandatory for coverage.

    Safe Driving Apps

    I think you’re thinking of other kinds of driving apps I am specifically talking about the apps offered by auto insurance companies that record your speed, miles, hard braking, etc

    Safe Driving Apps

    I would never consider that. Was just curious if I could pick and choose when to have the app running and basically only use it when I know I’ll be driving perfectly but it sounds like prolonged periods of inactivity or having permission settings off will likely result in being unenrolled and losing the discount anyway

    I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who (honestly) thinks she is not a fantastic female basketball player. Anyone saying otherwise is trolling or completely oblivious to what she did in college... but this topic and the debate is completely justified given her start and overall play thus far.

    This economy is so bad

    lol, boyo. I literally said, in the post you quoted, that raising rates raised mortgage rates (and bank interest rates). reading not your strong suit huh? Trumpflation

    This economy is so bad

    Inflation still pretty high and this admin has done little to curb it… basically just let the fed choose to try and tackle it by raising interest rates. So now we have high inflation in tandem with high mortgage rates. Even the people benefiting from having no mortgage or a previously locked in rate (by taking advantage of 5% accounts) still can’t use that advantage to keep up with inflation but let’s keep focusing on student debt forgiveness

    I hate fabricated records/milestones like this no matter the sport. NFL, MLB, anything. “he just became the first blonde haired QB to throw for 300 yards and 4 touchdowns in a game while also rushing for more than 5 yards in the state of Florida!”

    ***EdEx PGA Championship 2024***

    idk who was claiming it was much worse. Someone like Rahm... the PGA tour wouldn't care if it goes away because he "defected". If he were still a PGA guy, it would be the same boat as Scottie. But also the PGA tour doesn't control the PGA championship and I would assume the PGA of America would want it to go away no matter who was involved.
  18. With all respect, i'm not going into whatever thread you've linked. Common sense says a big pharma company like Pfizer knew their vaccine was 90% (or was ready to make that claim) sooner than the literal first business day after the election. Had they broke this news 2 weeks after, maybe even a week after, I might buy it... but the timing was laughable. Again, not normally a conspiracy guy but during a discussion with family members in September.. I stated that I would not be surprised if we had a fairly ready vaccine and we wouldn't know about it until shortly before the election (to help Trump) or shortly after (to hurt him). The logic being if that information had been presented in lets say early October, it would be a useful feather in the cap for the Trump administration to say "look what we accomplished" and potentially propel a victory in an otherwise close election. My brother, in particular, disagreed saying no company like Pfizer isn't going to want to take credit ASAP, first to market, etc. But corporate greed knows no bounds.
  19. I don't read the covid thread or any political threads, so I guess my point here is why bring the back and forth garbage into a golf/sports centric thread. Even with your unnecessary post, the thread had not devolved until TNG came in barking at phantoms.
  20. Since this thread got derailed, I will say it has always amused me how no one mentions the timing of Pfizer's announcement of their 90% effective vaccine... which came on the first business day after Biden and Harris were announced the pres and vice pres elect by media outlets. I'm not a big conspiracy theory guy but anyone who thinks that information wasn't ready a month beforehand and purposely sat on is kidding themselves.
  21. which I think is a bit ridiculous, in this thread. Again, my point was that no one seems to claim that thrombolytic events only happen because of "the jab" but that was your insinuation and you seemed ticked off about it. In this thread about a golfer who passed away, I made a vaccine joke (again, not something I normally do) and then there was some commentary that perhaps it wasn't suicide and maybe was a cardiac issue. First serious mentions of vaxx was from TimHauck and now the thread has devolved into vaxx discussion.
