This was a game winner to win the nuggets first round playoff matchup, which is always a big deal, but there are three things that are particularly impressive here:

  1. Jamal Murray was injured coming into this game, so the fact that he held strong through the game, played great basketball, and hit the game winner is impressive.

  2. The degree of difficulty on that shot was massive. Going left and shooting right requires perfect balance, focus, and contortion to get the shot off properly. Murray used this to catch the Lakers' Austin Reaves off guard and get a clean look, leveraging a difficult shot against an even more difficult to defend attack.

  3. This is the 2nd game winner Jamal Murray has hit this playoff series, both of which were highly difficult shots. Big time shot maker making big time shots.

Jamal Murray has ice water in his veins. Good god that man is a big time, big moment shot maker.

Man, the Porter family is the worst combination of unlucky, injury prone, and self destructive. MPJ's injuries, Bri and Cierra's injuries, Coban with the DUI/Vehicular Homicide, and now Jontay with a betting scandal.

To be fair to the post, it is describing how to tell people who wear all black apart, not categorizing them goth subtypes. Punk is also not goth.

Sometimes it is worth the brief verbal abuse and getting slapped with a pillow by an exhausted SO.

Helps with pregnancy nausea AND child birth! Just flip the seat direction and you are ready to expectorate whatever you want out!

We (maybe) want kids, she just doesn't want to ever be pregnant, so adoption is our route if anything.

This would be the worst of both worlds: A pregnancy that we don't even get one of the little shits from! She'll have to deal though, science demands that we try it at least once.

It seems like a great way to send ~50% of the babies birthed out in space. Just remove the net, speed it up, and tilt it 90°, then you have a coin flip chance at space babies or crater babies.

She and I don't want to make kids, so it isn't immediately applicable anyway. That being said, I am an experimental nuclear and particle physics PhD student, so I am at least 85% sure that I could convince my boss that we need a medium size centrifuge in the lab and make some... adjustments... upon completion.

I pitched this exact idea to my fiancé a few days ago (and have no clue why it came up). she didn't think it was a good idea, but now I can tell her that it was good enough to patent.

Hell of a win for my birthday, love seeing the young guys get good run and watching Jokić feast! Got a vintage nuggets mountain logo hoodie, a throwback Alex English rainbow skyline jersey, and a 23-24 city edition flat-brim to watch the game in full drip.

Twice, both related to my Crohn's Disease.

The first was in preparation for my first colonoscopy, where I was told that I was only allowed clear broth, clear soda, coffee, and water for 24hr before taking the colon prep solution. I didn't think the diet would give a mile-long headstart before the prep solution, so I enjoyed copius amounts of clear broth and coffee, which ran through me like a river, resulting in the mishap. The bathroom was only 10ft away from me, but it was still too far given the rapid pressure buildup.

The second was during an insurance conflict about my Crohn's Medication, resulting in a flareup and multiple weeks of gut agony and loose stool. It got to the point where no flatulence was trustworthy, and I took a gamble because I was so tired of getting up to run to the restroom every time I felt something bubbling (10+ restroom visits a day, each at the slightest sign of stomach rumbling will do that to a motherfucker).

It is always humiliating, even when I am home alone, and I am hyper concious about the possibility, even when in remission. It fucking bites.
