NBA draft today.

Ben Simmons off to the 76ers with the #1 pick!

Top 10 picks:
ROUND 1

1. Philadelphia 76ers - Ben Simmons (LSU)

2. Los Angeles Lakers - Brandon Ingram (Duke)

3. Boston Celtics (via Nets) - Jaylen Brown (California)

4. Phoenix Suns - Dragan Bender (Croatia)

5. Minnesota Timberwolves - Kris Dunn (Providence)

6. New Orleans Pelicans - Buddy Hield (Oklahoma)

7. Denver Nuggets - Jamal Murray (Kentucky)

8. Sacramento Kings - Marquese Chriss (Washington) - proposed trade to Phoenix Suns for picks 13 & 28

9. Toronto Raptors (via Knicks) - Jakob Poeltl (Utah & Austria)

10. Milwaukee Bucks - Thon Maker (Australia)

nice!

Ingram to the Lakers... they should be happy.

also, i'd be really happy if I was the bucks.. landing Maker. He's got some serious skills.

Just looked up his age and can't believe Durant is so young. Feels like he's been around much longer. Was going to say surely he'd only move to someone with immediate chances but he still has a few years to build. I would love to see him in the East too as I think GSW are going to dominate the West in years to come.

Also, why has NY become a graveyard? I haven't paid them much attention the last few years.

well, just the fact that from 2001-2002 to 2015-2016 season, they've made the playoffs four times. but, from 1988-1989 - 2000-2001 season, they made the playoffs every year. That's a major "fall from grace". I wish they sucked this bad when during the 1990's when the heat had a solid squad :) they were a major thorn in the Heat's side during those years.. made for some amazing playoff series/games though..

I just think their org makes bad moves.. Bad coaching moves. Bad player signings. Melo, Marburry, Staudomire..  not a huge fan of those guys. If they can convince someone like Durant to come over though....... that's huge. Hope they do it tbh (unless the Heat can get Durant).

That big stir fry sounds delicious.

ya, they are. i love em`.

it's amazing how much different I feel after eating an enormous stir fry vs ice cream for example.

here's one from tonight before I cooked it:



and after cooking:



the mixed nuts & goat cheese really adds the perfect finishing touch to a stir fry.. man o man, absolutely love it.

^^ talks of Phil trying to get Durant to NY Knicks.... The Rose trade would make even more sense if this is the case. I'm a heat fan so, i'd hate to see the knicks start owning the heat.. but, that'd still be an interesting "Big 3" (melo, rose, durant). Maybe Durant is the type of player turn the NY graveyard into a field of flowers.

Yes, phones those days are real beasts.
I am also looking to replace mine currently, so i have done a bit of research.
Best ones on the market are : iphone 6s, HTC 10 and Samsung S7 edge.
Next ones ( still prime zone but not as good as the above 3 ) : Huawei p9 , LG G5 , Oneplus 3, Samsung s7 ( the simple one, not edge )
The androids have better hardware , they give better benchmarks ratings, but at the real-time speed tests the iphone 6s is faster ( damn iOs ). Differences are too small anyway, it all comes down to personal preference. Iphone is smaller, samsung has better screen, HTC has better speakers etc.

nice! that first vid is cool. i personally wouldn't do too much with my phone, just shoot video/images, access a few simple apps, access this site (new version, it's more mobile friendly), and take a few calls. so the video/image stuff is #1.

i like the "better screen" out of those attributes. I also like those shatter proof phones. I see iphone 6s & galaxy s7 both perform good with water/shatter tests (iphone 6 better on shatter)

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/apple-iphone-samsung-galaxy-s7-put-to-the-test-waterproof-shatterproof/

it's most likely between those two for me right now.. i'm also somewhat of an apple guy -> i have a macbook pro and ipod tehe. so dno yet..

w/r/t phone tripods, i have one of these: https://www.amazon.com/GripTight-GorillaPod-Stand-Large-Phones/dp/B00M9C9EVS/ref=sr_1_3?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1466634429&sr=1-3&keywords=gorilla+tripod+iphone

works pretty well.

nice. i had one of those for a small camera too. worked good until a leg broke.

I like Schroeder at point for the hawks.. he's got serious potential as a season-long starter. Sucks about Teague's knee apparently..

also sucks for Rose.. to the graveyard with Melo :/ I picture Rose ending up like Marburry did when he went to the knicks.. Marburry was a beast in PHX, then fizzled hard in NY.. just hope he stays healthy for a while.. man was he fun to watch early on in his career.

i'm hoping King Riley can lure Durant over to MIA....... :) It would be smart for Durant to get out of the West, he'd be a legit finals contender every year in the east (most likely). He's already on a beast team with OKC, but, the West is stacked.. come to the East durant, come to .. South Beach.

yup because of the NAT'ing & LXC containers.. it's only been there for the last ~1.5 years -> when we switched over to linode.. but still, would have expected to see it sooner.

But there’s another way to look at this, endorsed by Sports Illustrated’s Grant Wahl, and it’s almost optimistic in its bleakness. The USMNT and their fans needed this wake-up call, the argument goes, not necessarily because the team was bad (they were not good), but because it’s hard to truly appreciate the greatness we aspire to without that greatness having its way with us. This is what a world No. 1-ranked team looks like, and for all the progress U.S. Soccer has made in recent years and decades, for all the pride justifiably taken from evolving into a competent soccer nation, the Argentines looked like they were playing an entirely different sport out there.

the article doesn't take it to the next step, which is: jurgen klinsmann is absolutely right and we need to start flooding european clubs with any talented american kids they'll take. MLS is fine and all, i'm glad it's getting more popular. but it's a B or C league. we have more people than the uk, germany, france, and spain put together. we have metric tons of very athletic children, many of whom like to play soccer. we just don't have anything resembling the technical skill of even the likes of portugal and we are not capable of developing it domestically past a certain point. someone pointed out before the game that argentina has a player, sergio aguero, who would be the greatest american player of all time but COMES OFF THE BENCH for argentina. he joined his local club's youth program at age 9, made his senior team debut at 15, then left for atletico madrid at age 18 and has been in elite european competition ever since. more of that, please.

ya man we looked like we didn't belong there at all. I was in awe of argentina just casually passing the ball back and forth, while still attacking.. was so effortless for them. They had no "panic". Every time we touched the ball, we were in panic mode.

didn't journal yesterday, was non stop coding all day. had to do a huge refactor of the backend code, because I needed the ability to modify some 'state' i'll be working with; a cache i'm building.

About iphones:
the 6 shoots  : 1080p@60fps, 720p@240fps
the 6s ( and all the android equivalent price ones ) shoots : 2160p@30fps, 1080p@60fps,1080p@120fps, 720p@240fps

nice! thanks for the info. it would probably be a much better investment to get a really solid phone. I rarely use my (crap) smart phone, but I still use it somewhat. If I could upgrade that AND shoot solid video footage with it, sounds like the way to go.

hooking up a phone to a tripod seems so weird to me.

i'll need to look into it and make a decision fairly soon.. seems like I will go the phone route, because it will be a better investment overall; for work too etc.

one thing i'm excited about already is how light these phones are.. i could literally run to a court like im doing now, and take footage.. can't do that with a big pricey video camera.

phone it is!

LBSS :highfive: vag

^^^ first ever PROPER usage of the high five icon. just saying.

i'll have to figure out whether or not to go with android or iphone.
