That idiot taunting Cam is why I think the NBA should have set precedent for all athletes by letting Ron Artest off the hook.

Yes, we like to giggle about Cam doing dumb poo poo and failing to jump on a fumble, from here in our corner of the internet. It'd be crass and lovely to do the same to his face. It's also extremely dumb. He's also 6'4" and in the .0000001% of human physical achievement, and would tear you apart like a goddamned bear would a ribeye.

This thread prompted me to check the Sea Doo website to see what has changed (my dad had a 1996 GTX, man I miss that thing) and the new top of the line model has 300 hp! It looks like a small boat but holy poo poo that's still a lot of power for a pwc.

How fast do you have to go before the water would feel like concrete

I've always heard 15-20 feet is when the ouch factor starts to become the injury factor, so maybe 25 mph?

The performance over skill factor was bad enough with OG Jet Skis. That was in the Wild West days when no state had even considered licensing requirements for them.

Mission Bay in San Diego was pretty much a warzone. Wake jumping assholes following fishing boats headed out to sea all day long.

Finally, some 10 year old got partially decapitated by a ski rope he didn't see, and blammo 5 mph no wake buoys all the way from the launch to the Pacific. A 5 minute trip to open water became a 30 minute one.

I know there's probably been about 10 generations of PWC and the types of users since the 1980s but I can't get over my early dislike of them.

I've been to roughly 8 all inclusive resorts and there is no way you're getting me on a loving cruise.

I worked in a repair shipyard for 5 years. I've been below the waterline and in the machinery spaces.

I will die having taken zero cruises

I was going to say what about river cruises but this happened to the ship I was on three weeks after I left

I took a Rhine day cruise that wasn't bad. Smaller boat than that one.

Wouldn't do it on the other side of the world, though. I had an experience in Cambodia pretty much like Bill Shatner and Jon Lithgow in the Twilight Zone, except I was in a bus driving parallel to a barge steaming up the Mekong, pointing in horror and yelling "IS NOBODY ELSE SEEING THIS poo poo BUT ME"

How long has it been since You Can't Do That on Television premiered? Maybe let the slime go


Is the original cast even still all alive? I don't mean Alasdair Gillis or Alanis.

Moose is a producer. Lisa runs a funeral home. Alisdair is a musician. Abby went into voice acting. Vanessa is an urban planner

They're mostly in their 50s; remember they were doing this show basically around the time of puberty.

Les Lye is dead, but he was already 50-something when the show aired.

Question- is there anywhere that has tried to quantify how well a player has over/underperformed vs. their draft position? Like, an overall database for draft classes back x number of years?

I’m on mobile so I’m not gonna search, but I remember trying to find a database for something like that a few years ago.

I didn’t find any databases but I did find some articles and interviews about it.

If you do find that database please share!

Closest I could come is this weirdly formatted article
