I just caught about 90 seconds of a summer league game. I watched a player bring the ball up the sidelines under pressure. There was minimal contact as he squeezed in between the sideline and the defender. The kind of thing that maybe goes uncalled in the playoffs and that FIBA completely ignores.

The ball handler threw his head back on that minimal contact. Obviously baiting as there was zero change in his momentum. And if there had been, it would have been getting slowed down which would throw his head FORWARD, not back.

And he got the call.

He got rewarded for an obvious foul bait that FIBA ignored every single time I saw someone try it.

I started to react with annoyance, and then realized I could simply turn off the TV, so I did.

And I think that is likely to be my response every time I see someone get rewarded for that going forward.

I played this in kindergarten after school waiting on my mom to be done with work, so it's a tad hazy. There were 2 I remember best. 1 was a wide spinning yellow track you had to stay on, there were no diamonds to collect if I recall. I just remember being able to see past/new track above you as you rolled 2 was a green track with a thin white grid pattern. It was more of a... space than track this time. I remember it being timed as you had to collect all the diamonds. It was 3 layers. 1 top square layer with a diamond in the middle, 4 ramps on every side to an open square around it with diamonds on every side of the square. It had ramps leading to a bottom square like the top with 1 diamond in the middle.

The ball was like.. LSD colored. Rainbows, mostly purple-ish. It was a downloadable game on a school computer youd start up via desktop icon.

Obviously players like Durant excel at both, so the NBA skill set seems universal, but players like Rubio kill it in FIBA in a way they just flat don’t in the NBA. There’s some much overlap between the player bases and the game seems pretty similar. Why the disparity?

Anybody who can beat my Diamond level hands ? ;) I am a June ape btw. So I have seen some heavy dips. But I hold for us. Always wanted to be apart of the movement so price didn’t really matter. Speaking from my ape heart 🦍🌙❤️.

TA:DR: RC did share offering to be able to sue the bad guys for harm done to his stock. It's one of the few ways companies can attack the sort sellers legally. Oh yeah, its possible that we could have MOASS'd in April if it hadn't been for options. Also, all options help hedgies locate shares.

Edit for the day: I’m tapped out on this. No one brought a reasonable example that disproved the crux of this dd on options. The bad guys get access to more shares through options. No one disagrees with that, other than to say I was wrong and leave it at that. Yes apes can make more money by buying and selling shares. The data shows that options give the bad guys more access to shares.

Part 1 Rule 105 of the Securities and Exchange Act

There’s a fairly obscure rule that got bantered about during the time of the first share offering. Rule 105 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The rule is intended to keep people from shorting the stock during an offering, and then buying the stock at the depressed price to cover. Even if it isn’t naked short selling, the purchased shares effectively cover the shorts profitably. Here’s a link.

https://www.sec.gov/about/offices/ocie/risk-alert-091713-rule105-regm.pdf

Without rule 105 (lol and for some companies with it) a HF can short the stock at $100, drive the price down, and buy at the depressed price, pocketing the difference and fleecing early adopters, and closing their earlier shorted shares. Note that the original shorts could be naked or covered, but they are both illegal. So if GameStop announces in day 1 that it is going to offer shares, and announces on day 20 that the offering is complete, then anyone who shorted shares from day 15 to day 20 cannot have purchased shares during the offering. Conversely, anyone who purchased shares during the offering cannot short shares from day 15 to day 20. Both situations would be illegal if performed. At least that’s how I read Rule 105.

Part 2 How to get justice (monetarily)

So…how do you show harm, and what harm is done by violating Rule 105? Well, if it can be shown that a hedge fund or market maker or broker dealer shorted that stock during the restricted period, (5 days before announcement of offering completion and the price announcement), and purchased any of the shares then the SEC can sue the offending hedge fund and order disgorgement costs, (price at start-price s

There are ALLEGEDLY 3 ball joints on each wheel of the Acura TSX. Since I have to change the wheel bearings anyhow on the front, I'm thinking of changing out the ball joints on the front axle as well as the tie rod ends. There seems to be some play both 3 and 9 oclock as well as 12 and 6 oclock when I move the front tires with the car elevated.

Does anyone know good part numbers for the ball joints for the front axle? I normally buy from RockAuto since the forums have scared me away from eBay and some of the knock-offs on Amazon.

Thanks!

Genre: top down, probably flash

Graphics/art style: colorful, like a childrens website, probably a little messy. im thinking mabye a light blue background but not certain.

Notable characters: you play as a ball that is divided into 4 sections. it looks similar to the "simon battery game" you can get at Walmart. if there where any enemies in the game i cant remember what they would look like

Notable gameplay mechanics: from what i can remember you move this "ball" with arrow keys around a maze (you cant see all of the maze at once, you have to move the character and the maze will appear in frame accordingly)

you can step on certain platforms of certain colors,when you do the color on the ball may have been lit up to indicate that you stepped on that said platform.

the maze walls are made up of said four colors and when you have a color selected you could pass through, or some mechanic that opened doors depending on what color you have.

Other details: i believe there where some physics in the game such as if you ran the ball perpendicular to a wall, the ball would "roll"

im on mobile and i dont know how to use reddit so sorry if im doing this wrong

Here is the real test😁. This is exciting to me, and I know y’all are hyped as well

I'll give a reward of 10 dollars, paid via PayPal for the one who finds it, and of course, if multiple people finds it, it will be for the one who find it first.

It was an installed game, not a browser game.

Mechanics: You had to roll the ball using the mouse (same feeling as oxyd). The only puzzle solving mechanic was moving boxes. Something to push them out of your way and in some levels to fill holes.

Levels: I just remember that the Level 1 was a zig-zag, without boxes or anything else, you just had to get to the finish. level 10 mechanic was like this, and level 11 (you started in the empty space and just fell and die).

Graphics: I'm really not sure how the graphics were, but I'm pretty sure that it is better than oxyd (a little more pixels, and so, detail) The colors were mostly blue tones, with the empty space being black. (It looked similar to oxyd extra)

Else: Like the title says, the game have 2D graphics (the ball had a little 3D effect, but it's just a detail) with a Top-bottom view. It was on color.

Already checked games: Enigma, Oxyd (all of them), Marble Madness, Rock'n Roll, TiltMaze, Esprit, Incredible Shrinking Sphere, Cloud Kingdoms, Ballgame 2, Rollin, Labyrinth, Whole New Ball Game

They made a movie out of Burry, who gets one out of a 100 calls right, and somehow is celebrated as a role model by millions because of Hollywood and too many kids started believing Big Shorts were the way to go. Truth be told, its all about the Legendary Longs.

Burry has been consistently wrong on hundreds of calls including crypto, back in may he called the inverse H&S wrongly, and just last week called to short crypto and the market has rallied more than 10% since then, as the ETF inches closer. Shorting last week is just peak middle bell curve thinking.

He literally embarrassed himself so much on Twitter and became the laughing stock of everyone, that he seems to have deleted his account now.

Micheal Saylor on the other hand... since everyone including Wall Street loves numbers, let's just look at it purely from a monetary $$$ perspective, in 2008 crash, Burry made $100m and a total profit of $700m for his Scion Capital.

MSTR on the other hand is up by over 3 Billion in on their investment. Way out of your league, Big Shat Mr Bear.

Real balls is not in predicting crashes, but taking long positions that are way ahead of their time.

They turned a sissy Burry into a wall street legend. The dude has no balls, not even to stand by his own conviction. If anyone tries to counter Burry's weak arguments, they end up getting blocked. Way to go Mr. Bear.

Saylor just pulled off one of the most legendary investments of all time.

If you watched Giannis and Greece play in the FIBA World Cup this summer, you could see that it really didn’t look like Giannis was enjoying himself and it didn’t help that the surrounding team and the coach was not anywhere near what he played with in Milwaukee last season. Also the lack of a 3 second rule in FIBA didn’t do Giannis’s game any favors.

I remember playing these games so much as a kid and i recently just remembered about them but can’t seem to find it anywhere or what the game us even called. I remember it having a Monkey balloon game with bombs. And a Hamster racing game that had multiplayer and had a checkerboard background. Any help would be great :D

The SEC likes to sue on this matter. Here’s one from September that detailed actions taken in December of ’20. Maybe GameStop’s will be published in March’22 for $669,002
