@zinzy_js @ConorOrConor @fuck_you_dicl Yeah and that’s why the ballondor is basically reserved for the big 5 euro leagues

[Chickens and Mentals Caretaker @_danchu]

Yeah it’s actually a nice change hearing good coaches coach with real principles and culture setting mindsets on hard knocks instead of hearing some hallmark movie speeches from a 3 win team’s coaches

@6godlisan144599 @RedLense_ @irisketball Grown ass man bragging about another dudes salary

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@rolloqtomasi @mookiealexander Oh I wasn’t even considering UW but yeah I think Mikes gonna end up as an all-timer

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@6godlisan144599 @RedLense_ @irisketball Who tf was talking about Jokic

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@rolloqtomasi @mookiealexander I love Mike more than my own father but I think it’s too early to be doing this lmao. But longevity-ignored he’s already in the highest tier with Knox Holmgren & Carroll

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@49ersballknower @Spoon4pres The point he’s making is that since the stats were so dominant without many top 100 players then the team as a whole must be extremely effective and deep

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@Airbagg5dBush @zeppelinwashere Eminem does not look Greek lmao

@FDT4EVUR We don’t have a 2005 banner?

@Antonin29795906 @CoreyE36106 @KnotToBurn @noitsmazzie 90% of single family homes are made from wood in Japan. They use other materials for high-rise apartments, which is also true in the US.

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@ChuyPJDJ @KnotToBurn @noitsmazzie We have such an abundance of timber that it’s just the most cost-efficient option. Places like the east coast do have a bit more brick structures but for the most part wood is just a more efficient use of resources

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@_aastryd_ @KnotToBurn @noitsmazzie This guy has clearly never heard of an abundance of timber making steel structures significantly more expensive without significant advantage over flexible wood structures…

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@GioWolf_ @Seegras3 @KnotToBurn @noitsmazzie One again, straight winds are not directly comparable to a tornado.

ICF structures are tornado resistant, but the abundance of timber in the US compared to Europe means it’ll never be cost effective compared to wood structures. In addition to the Midwest’s low population density

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@BijolSZN @KnotToBurn @noitsmazzie Man you’re from the beans on toast and mushy peas capital of the Earth I don’t wanna hear it

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@Babychan1 @KnotToBurn @noitsmazzie I’m not disagreeing with that. I also live in an area that generally lacks AC because we didn’t need it until a couple summers ago. And I’m from a country where is AC is uncommon despite the heat.

I’m just contesting the wood homes argument that I’ve seen a few times before.

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@GioWolf_ @Seegras3 @KnotToBurn @noitsmazzie Winds are not the same thing as a tornado.

A tornado carries heavy debris with it that damages structures and generates uplift that push structures both horizontally and vertically. And high speed tornadoes, while rare, can reach over 480kmph.

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@weupgrinding @J_Onzima1 @KnotToBurn @noitsmazzie When a tornado hits a certain speed the building material doesn’t really matter.

Also the Midwest is very low population-density, so building large steel-reinforced concrete buildings doesn’t make much sense

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@Dravarden @KnotToBurn @noitsmazzie A concrete home will not survive an F2 or 3. Plus, the Midwest is the least population dense part of the country, it doesn’t make sense to build large steel-reinforced buildings there. The tornado alley is overwhelmingly rural and suburban.

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@CoreyE36106 @KnotToBurn @noitsmazzie Every part of the US that is susceptible to wildfires is also susceptible to earthquakes, which are more frequent and can’t be prevented like a wildfire can. So we build shock-absorbing wood homes.

Yall need to accept different environments have different risks and needs.

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@J_Onzima1 @KnotToBurn @noitsmazzie And every wildfire-heavy area is also earthquake prone, which are more common and can’t be controlled by human efforts like we can with wildfires

[bubba @afghanbubba]

@J_Onzima1 @KnotToBurn @noitsmazzie A brick or stone home will also not survive a tornado. The difference is now you’ll have bricks flying around the tornado zone and it’ll cost 10x more to rebuild.
