Yup, it's them, Naughty Dog, Rockstar, Bethesda, and Nintendo who can make that assumption for the most part. There might be a few more but like really that's about it.

I'd never seen it, tried to watch it recently and made it maybe 45 minutes in. No one is phoning it in but it just doesn't work.

There are others but it's the only anglosphere one. Fair number in South America.

Like they didn't roast Thompson for it but pointed out it was what the coverage didn't want to happen, cut to Udoka talking to him about it, and praised SGA for getting to his spot. Simple stuff but leaps and bounds better than what we've been getting!

The whole NBC coverage was impressive. The call when they pointed out Thompson let SGA get left when the help was coming from the right at the end of regulation in the first game was great!

Did not think they would come to a deal there. Happy to see it though. Love watching him!

Ohhh wow! Did not think that was getting done.

Makes sense. To borrow a Vecine-ism the delta of his outcomes is too wide. He could be an all-star this year or it could be clear he's a bench guy. Outcomes are way too wide for a common ground.

Five years ago I would have thought so but now I think that it would be bad under any. Professionalism matters for governments. Respectability politics but for actual governments.

The Aus has already backed out in embarrassment hilariously.

The Australian does a U-turn on controversial Pentagon press rules

The newspaper had joined a small list of publications to agree to controversial new media rules, which led to major news outlets walking away from their press access.

Corn relish, french onion, and as others have already said spinach. I'm also not a tomato chutney person but I feel like it's more of a sauce than a dip.

I was one of the people preaching patience because I was so sold on that combo despite the awkwardness of the the double centers. Heck I woke up on the morning of the Haliburton/Sabonis trade and was initially dismayed. I was so in on that core prior to the injuries and held onto Turbonis.

He was so strong. That era of Pacers basketball is likely going to be forgotten but he was so good. Brogdon and Sabonis was a really great combo.

One center can't get out of his own way, another has struggled to get in the way, & the other two are just sort of there

The one seeds are guac, salsa (open to the argument you need to split the category into like 6 different answers and only some are dips), hummus, and Pesto. French Onion and corn relish are 16s.

That's absolutely true but it's also a lot more likely to be that daily contact if it's family. I had a neighbor who fell recently and was found by a wound care nurse the next morning. Anything can help, it's just the parent/child relationship is the most common version of this.

Obviously no guarantees that the relationship is close and healthy but no one becomes a parent expecting to be estranged from their kids.

Thomas @welcht21.bsky.social · 14d

Doesn't even necessarily need to be living close/caretaker role though. Being in contact daily and raising the alarm if you can't get ahold of an elderly parent the same day can be crucial in that scenario. Can be being found within 36 hours as opposed to weeks later.
