OT: DEVASTATING WILDFIRE ….Santa Monica/Palisades fire being aided by 50-80mph Santa Ana winds. 100mph possible overnight

No offense but fvck you. You don't live here. I do. You don't know one person impacted by this. I know many. Go make moronic weather threads you get mocked in.
I have friends and family in the LA area including a couple who had to evacuate. I can't imagine how difficult it's been for them or you and I wish you and other posters on the area the best and should have posted that first. I just think the politics should come later not now.

Ranking Progress

Here is an example of other data I produce and how I use it.



Notes:
  • Using past 10 years of results I calculate the probability of placement for every seed (and therefore, probability of AA and likely points scored at NCAAs)
  • For example, a wrestler seeded 8th finishes in the top 8 about 46.5% of the time.
  • Using that Slavikouski contributes almost half an expected AA based on Intermat's #8 rank for him.
  • Aggregating across all ten weights using Intermat rankings suggest Rutgers has a 91% chance of 1 AA. Replace that with WrestleStat rankings and the expectation is to have roughly 2 AAs. I can also calculate the odds of any number from 0 to 10 AAs.
  • The difference comes down to the extreme difference of opinion on Dean Peterson.
  • As for scoring, it looks like Rutgers is on track for between 20 and 37 points at the tournament.
  • During the season I use rankings as a proxy for seeds and replace them with actual seeds when available.

Not surprising that every post you make on this is political - these should be deleted as should this response and the silly political avatars and sig lines should also not be allowed if the site doesn't want political content. @DJ Spanky

It's also interesting that many of the posters excoriating Cali government officials in this case were somehow silent this past summer when catastrophic hurricanes ravaged Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas - nobody was blaming the terrible flooding in multiple states and especially NW NC, for example, on the government when record rainfalls hit, likely exacerbated by global warming, which has been shown already to make for more severe hurricanes (not more of them, but more severe ones, as warmer air holds more water, which means more rain).
you are comparing a hurricane to a fire? One can be controlled by humans, the other can't.

Court Report: Rutgers could be first team to miss NCAA Tournament despite having two top-five NBA Draft picks

This is what happens when the perimeter players you bring in from the portal and play the most minutes are both guys who cannot play off ball on offense. In addition to the other perimeter player on the team in Jwill who also is not good off ball.

Acuff, Dercack, Williams - do not fit with Dylan and Ace. This was clear as day in May.
Nobody wanted to hear how JWill was the wrong fit with Dylan.

To be fair, I get sucked into doing that same thing. Someone sticks political content.. with which I may disagree, in a thread and when I respond with political content they, or their ilk, calls me out. But I'm just responding... and, to my way of thinking, providing context.. or correcting... a community note, if you like. And they call me out but not the political post to which I just replied. It is classic censoring.. their propaganda is allowed.. but commenting on their political propaganda... oh no.. cannot have that.

The problem here is he calls out the posting of political content AND he adds political content. He tagged a mod with it and probably REPORTED it too.

Choose one:

Call it out and never do it yourself..

or

Don't call it out and join in, respond..

or

ignore it all
He's made countless political posts in this thread. I made one in response and even called for it to be deleted. Big difference IMO.

It’s not just the dry weather thats the problem. Another factor is LA had its second wettest two day period ever in February. January saw 200% of its average rainfalls. The vegetation that grew as a result of these rain is now dry and they do a very bad job of clearing it as has been covered.
Man what an odd factor to consider. Too much rain a year ago helped lead to this. Its tough.

Klamath River is a very very long way from LA, near border with Oregon. There's no way to get that water to LA.

A dose of reality?

Cliff would certainly help, but he alone wouldn't be the cure to all our woes. His minutes with Alabama are down this season, along with his scoring, rebounds and blocks per game. Not to mention, he is surrounded by a better cast with Alabama yielding more good looks.
Cliff is doing exactly what he did here, scoring at the same rate, rebounding at the same level, and is highly efficient offensively now that he only takes what's given, shooting 70%+. He just plays less because they are a much better team.
