This is the daily Muppet thread. All ITK (in-the-know) info will be posted in the body of the daily post, to be updated throughout the day. Positive, civil discussion is welcome and encouraged.
Rules:
-
OUR FIRST AND PRIMARY RULE IS TO PROTECT THE ITKs FROM PERSONAL ATTACKS.
-
We will occasionally implement somewhat "extreme" policies, to protect the ITKs (even the one's who "don't care").
-
ANY NEW ITKs, WILL BE REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH THE ANONYMOUS CHANNELS OF SUBMITTING DIRECTLY TO THE MODS. Please message us if you've got any info you want to share.
-
No standalone ITK comments will be allowed. This doesn't mean ITKs can't comment, just we don't want "new" ITKs commenting with "I've heard xyz on this date".
-
NO STANDALONE ITK COMMENTS WILL BE ALLOWED (for new ITKs that aren't known). This doesn't mean ITKs can't comment, just we don't want "new" ITKs commenting with "I've heard xyz on this date".
-
Any ITK comments posted will be deleted. This is to protect you, and prevent any possibility of a situation.
-
WE WILL NOT ALLOW ATTACKS ON OTHER USERS OF ANY KIND.
-
Questioning the info of ITKs is 100% allowed, but if you have specific concerns, please message the mods directly. Often, mods are aware of things people don't think we're aware of.
-
ANYONE TRYING TO "FIGURE OUT" OR POSTING ABOUT WHO AN ITK IS, WILL BE GIVEN A TEMPORARY BAN FOR THE FIRST OFFENSE.
-
Note on "Tiers" -- after the window (or sooner), we will sort all sources into a Tier List based on reliability. Currently, info is divided into "ITK" (who have some 'evidence' verified with mods), "Gaitan" (who have little or no verifiable evidence), and "Indykalia" (who have absolutely nothing--almost certainly fake news)
Let us know if you have any suggestions.

All sources agree Maguire is done. Don’t know why not announced. Nothing new on Bruno right now. No progress or changes.
#ITK 6 –
No progress on Bruno. Club wants him for cheaper than Sporting want to sell for, and we haven’t moved ahead with any offer of value. Hoping we can pressure them into taking lower price.

Gaitan 2:
Reiterating, will sell Lukaku first. Then finalize Maguire and Bruno. Potential alternate to Bruno said previously is Eriksen.
Gaitan 3:
Maguire still happening. No change. Bruno we will not pay 70m. They lower their demands or we look elsewhere. Sancho 100% not happening this summer.
Gaitan 5:
Bruno - Currently stuck

So, I ordered my Pixel 4 in early December through the Google Store. I noticed after a few days that the FedEx tracking info wasn't updating. My first message to Google support was met with a boilerplate response about it still being within the original delivery time frame. Once that date passed, I reached out again... They looked into it, and magically, the package started moving.
Over the weekend, delivery was "attempted" at my house, but according to FedEx, no one answered the door, so they left a sticker. I mean, it was 9AM and I was most assuredly home, but whatever. At this point, I was frustrated and slightly suspicious (having heard a few similar horror stories), so I decided to have the package routed to a local FedEx pickup location. The next day, I asked my husband to drive over and pick it up, which he did. He opened the box in front of an employee, and... No phone. The accessories were in there, but not the important part. The manager of the store wrote up a statement verifying what happened--not that it will necessarily help, but it can't hurt.
Since then, I've reached out to Google and they've "escalated" the whole thing and are supposedly in touch with FedEx for an investigation. I understand that it's Christmas week and responses might be delayed, but my most recent attempt to get an update (yesterday) has been met with silence.
I don't mind waiting because of the holidays, but my main concern is that I financed the phone through the Google store and the first payment is due in less than two weeks. I don't want to make a payment until I have the product in hand, and I don't want to cause more potential issues by filing a dispute or chargeback.
Any feedback or help from anyone who's been in a similar situation? Thanks. This whole process has been incredibly frustrating, especially since I've been really looking forward to having a shiny new phone instead of the hot garbage I'm currently using.
UPDATE 12/29: after a phone call and two additional emails over the weekend, I just got a response saying they've investigated and will be sending out a new phone! Hopefully it'll get here quickly and I can stop stressing about this.
I feel as if everybody forgot we gave this guy a 5yr/180million contract. The focus this season so far has been everything on Ben's shooting and Joel's athleticism but people are ignoring Tobias.
Tobias Harris had played at least 22 minutes in every game this year and over his last 5 games he has averaged 24.4 PPG while shooting 38.5% from the 3 point line. I think its safe to say he has overcome that horrible shooting slump he had earlier in the season.
Can we please not forget about maybe our most consistent player?
Edit: Not to mention, he’s still 27
I don't even know if this is serious enough to post it here but I simply don't know a better place for it.
I see it more and more that people use "would of" instead of "would have". If you google it, you will see that it is grammatically incorrect. It seems to stem from people mishearing "would've" as "would of". I'm not even angry at people who write it like that. I'm simply angry that I see it more and more and people just simply don't know, which might not even be their fault, especially if they taught themselves english by listening and conversations, which in itself is commendable.
If people want a short version they should use would've. Same for could've, should've etc., which is the shortened version of "would have"
I'm normally not such a big stickler for grammatical rules but for some reason I can't explain, this is the worst for me and every time I read "would of" I die a little inside.
Global chaos ensues.
The disease wipes out 99% of humanity, and the desperate survivors are forced to live in a post-alpaca lip tick wasteland.
This is the same rate you want to use for chest compressions when giving CPR, so there are plenty of real world songs that work too (Stayin' Alive, Just Dance, Rock Your Body, etc). But I wanted to stick to an OSRS tune, and this one works great!
This has helped me a ton to learn 3-tick woodcutting (where I'm keeping the logs rather than drop them). Clicking to the beat, "Tar -> Leaf -> Tree -> Tar -> Leaf -> Tree". I'm working through the OSRS Playlist trying to find other songs that are exactly 100 BPM; for this style (not dropping the logs) I'd like to find a 3/4 or 6/8 song on the OST.
