Because they didn't have the Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh.

>The NBA All-Star games is for the fans and I am glad they have the vote. But come on folks — Klay Thompson ahead of Booker? Carmelo Anthony ahead of KAT and Gobert? Kyrie Irving & Derrick Rose ahead of Van Vleet and Garland? Do better NBA fans.

> When they saw the N.B.A.’s 75th anniversary list of the best players ever, selected by a panel of media, players and coaches, they realized someone had been forgotten: Howard. > > “That was kind of crazy,” said Otis Smith, the former Orlando Magic general manager, who built teams around Howard. > > Said Stan Van Gundy, who coached him at his peak: “Whatever the reason that he got left out, there’s something more than basketball to it.”

> > “Our core group, we understood each other and if it was time to not joke, we would just tell him, ‘Not right now,’ or he could sense it,” said Jameer Nelson, the Magic’s starting point guard while Howard was there. “We were winning so many games during that time it’s almost like, how can you tell somebody not to joke when you’re still winning? You’re still statistically one of the best teams in the league on both ends of the floor.” > > One day, Van Gundy told reporters Howard was trying to oust him, and Howard, not knowing what had just been said, playfully crashed Van Gundy’s news conference with a smile. The awkward moment — Howard with his arm across the shoulders of a soda-sipping Van Gundy — became a meme. > > “I’m not trying to run from it,” Van Gundy said in a phone interview recently. “I don’t think the incident that he and I had — we only had one — I don’t think it reflected real well on either one of us.”

> “He came in every day, pounded everybody, said hi to everybody, made sure everybody knew he was happy in the situation he was in,” said JaVale McGee, who started ahead of Howard with the Lakers during the 2019-20 season. “He constantly was the ultimate professional.” > > McGee added, when asked if showing that quality seemed important to Howard: “I definitely think it was important just because of hearsay and the way people talk about you in the league, especially G.M.s and coaches. It can really mess up your image.” >

> > “I have people ask me like, ‘Oh, do you think he’s a Hall of Famer?’” Van Gundy said. “Do I think he’s a Hall of Famer? Are you kidding me?” > > Van Gundy rattled off Howard’s All-N.B.A. and defensive awards. > > “Go check and see how many people have done that,” he said. > >

Ear goes.

Merk veel angst bij mensen rondom de situatie met Rusland, dus vandaar deze hypothetische. Denk zelf dat het gelukkig bij een hypothetische blijft, al zou het voor mij persoonlijk weinig uitmaken want ik ga die medische keuring nooit doorkomen.

>This nostalgic emotion about the demise of the Staples Center is crazy. First, it is a building. Second, they aren’t blowing it up. They are just changing it’s corporate sponsor. What exactly are people nostalgic about — an office supply store’s sponsorship of a building?

>[Markazi] The Lakers have won six titles since they’ve been at Staples Center. The Lakers got Robert Horry, Luke Walton, Metta World Peace, Byron Scott and Gary Payton to pose in front of the six trophies. (Payton never won a title with the Lakers and Scott won his titles at The Forum.)

This is that JVG type beat, it's a family thing lol.

> 3 notable turnarounds in the NBA West. Dallas started 12-13 and is 15-7 since (with the league’s best defense in that time). Portland started 2-14 on the road and has won 4 of their last 5 (without Lillard). New Orleans has gone 15-12 after a 3-16 start (all without Williamson).

It's not like a cop knock or anything more like a friendly type knock like "don't mean to bother you" knock- but then if I come out of my seclusion to address the inquiry I'll also be revealing that I'm a woman and I'm on BLM so I can't just take off like a bat outta hell cause the terrain is rough. Just ignore the knocks or am I being too paranoid?

Edit for update:

It seems that things are back to groovy and there's been no more knocking for over a couple hours now.

I also want to say thank you with utmost sincerity for all of your responses at a time that I needed your help. I'm sort of a dork about these things but I am genuinely moved by the amount of people that took the time to add their input and the number of people asking if I was ok. Gosh...I definitely was not expecting that. Maybe the world isn't quite as awful as I've been thinking it is.

AND WELL IF YOU DONT HEAR FROM ME AGAIN THEN WELL, THATS AN UPDATE IN ITSELF TOO. Haha! Goodnight everybody.

Heute ist der 14.3., Pi-Tag (Pi-Day, funktioniert leider nur in der englischen amerikanischen Schreibweise 3.14), https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi-Tag

Außerdem:

• Albert Einsteins Geburtstag (14.3.1879)
• Stephen Hawkings Todestag (14.3.2018)

Wer einmal Pi selbst auf seinem Rechner berechnen möchte, empfehle ich das Programm y-cruncher http://www.numberworld.org/y-cruncher/

1 000 000 000 Stellen (1 Milliarde) benötigen auf meinem PC ca. 1 Minute. Die letzten Stellen sind:

6434543524 2766553567 4357021939 6394581990 5483278746  :  999,999,950
7139868209 3196353628 2046127557 1517139511 5275045519  :  1,000,000,000

Der Rekord steht übrigens derzeit bei 50 Billionen Dezimalstellen, die Timothy Mullican mit etwas ausgedienter Server-Hardware von April 2019 bis Ende Januar 2020 berechnet hat: https://blog.timothymullican.com/calculating-pi-my-attempt-breaking-pi-record

Früher hat die Berechnung noch etwas länger gedauert: Ludolph van Ceulen hat 30 Jahre gebraucht, um Pi auf 35 Stellen zu berechnen. Hier die historische Entwicklung: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_computation_of_%CF%80

Häufig steht dabei "Calculated xx decimal places, but not all were correct". Da haben einige Menschen viel Zeit verschwendet.

Would also love to hear about 'snide' places that are basically like McDowell's in real life. There's a piri piri chicken place I saw once in Bradford called Ronaldo's that has the exact same font, logo and interior as Nando's, copyright police would go wild at it!

>IMO — Eastern Conference All-Stars. 9 easy choices — Antetokounmpo, Embiid, Durant, Young, DeRozan, LaVine, Sabonis, Van Vleet and Garland. Considered 9 guys for the last 3 spots and picked Harden, Brown and Holiday (over J. Allen, Butler, Herro, Middleton, Tatum, LaMelo Ball).
