Funny thing is that I just don’t GAF what you think. But, if I did, I might say that I wasn’t asserting anything as fact. Just posing various theories that are being posited.
Good thing the nimrods in that group chat were just allegedly chatting up the Houthis and talking some trash about our European allies, and not tossing around attack plan ideas involving a nuclear-armed adversary.

I know everyone loves the new baseball stadium in Summerlin, but Cashman Field was a pretty great, low budget family activity for many years. Monday nights they sold hot dogs for $1. The tickets were under $10. It was old and beat up, but it had character and was a place I enjoyed with my kids. Aviators games are too expensive. But I understand that is what the market demands for a nice stadium in a convenient location. I’ll miss “friends in low places” Cashman Field.
The Cashman Field location would not work for John Fisher’s business model, which is pretty smart. For years, he has made the A’s one of the most profitable franchises in baseball by maximizing revenue sharing and minimizing payroll. In most places, you have to spend *something* on players, otherwise you’ll alienate the fans (see Oakland). But an MLB franchise on the Strip can field a low-payroll team while selling seats to tourists. Fisher gets the benefit of high demand for tickets without the burden of fielding a competitive team. It’s genius, really. Great business even if it’s not great baseball. This business model can only work on the Strip, not at Cashman.
There will never – and I mean never – be high demand for As tickets in Las Vegas. If anything, it’ll be like one of the shows that can’t even give away their tickets. They’ll start bundling them in packages with second-rate comics and cover bands of groups that haven’t been relevant in 30 years.
Oakland only averaged 11,000 per game last year. Fisher only needs 15,000 fans per game and maybe 6-7,000 locals. There are 300,000 toursits on the Strip on any given day. Fisher only needs 5% of tourists to attend and a few droplets of locals to make this work financially. And the best part for him is that he can continue to spend almost nothing on payroll and yet still sell these tickets.
The numbers presented to the Legislature were nonsense, as were the “renderings” of the stadium. The A’s were smart to hire Jeremy “for the record” Aguero to present this to the Legislature. He has an aura of academia and authority that gave the project credibility.
You could argue that the Knights and the Raiders sold every seat to season ticket holders so maybe the A’s can too. They are counting on the locals buying them all assuming they can flip them to tourists to help subsidize the games they attend. I do not know so maybe you can tell me if that is working for the people that bought all the hockey and football tickets?
So the A’s would leave the dump that was the Oakland Coliseum to move into a smaller venue that was a bigger dump? That would never have been approved by MLB.
A lot of great memories at Cashman Field, going back to the Las Vegas Stars days and the old Jaycees State Fair. Dollar beer nights were a lot of fun, too, when the 51s took over. Even though it’s in a sketchy neighborhood, I always felt much safer at Cashman than I did going to MLB games in LA or up in Oakland.

when the police report an active shooter or crime, they don’t use the hotel name, but when someone trips they name and shame, please list your preferred explanation below.
Client arrested and then all charges denied. We went to Metro to get police report, told it did not exist. Went to prosecutor’s office, told there was no police report. Contacted Internal Affairs and police report suddenly appeared. Gamesmanship.

How to tell Nevada has a broken tort system? Slip in the shower lawsuits. Give me a friggin break.
And you’re part of the problem. Depends on what? Shower and water. Shower and water equals potential for slippery. Person has eyes can visual the shower and water and rationally and reasonably infer slippery. Can’t deal with potential for slippery, don’t get in shower. But hey you know, some esteemed member of the bar will take the case and a gutless wonder of a judge will say its a question of fact, and some gutless insurance company will rollover, cuz you never know what a jury will do. I’m all for the wrongfully injured being compensated, but c’mon man. Don’t get me started on the fraud perpetrated by “billed” medical expenses.
The problem is the exorbitant cost to get to trial, and then you open yourself up to potentially 7 figures in damages. There’s so much potential expense and liability that you have to settle these dumb cases. Not that I have a solution to this problem.
While it is tragic the guy died from this incident, my first reaction was that it takes some cojones to file a suit like that. It’s kinda like suing the SNWA for failing to warn water is wet.
To be fair, I have never seen an appropriate warning label on the water coming from my tap. SNWA should be responsible for informing me of the risks of its product and that should be attached to the product before its use.
Water is not wet. BBC Science Focus Magazine states, “Water with water has a cohesive interaction,” explains Glick, “and if water is attracted to something else, then that’s called adhesive. This concept of wetting is actually, to a scientist, the adhesive side.” Because water has a cohesive interaction with itself, says Glick, it doesn’t wet itself. Jul 28, 2022″

Because it was not my case I can comment on this here. Was sitting in court last week and a real property/lien priority case came on before me. One of our esteemed jurists actually said that it would be “inequitable” to allow a senior lien to survive the foreclosure of a junior lien and that the senior lienholder’s remedies were exclusively in the proceeds from the junior lien sale (if any).
You really need to name the esteemed jurist. This kind of incompetence has to be specifically publicly exposed. It wasn’t your case, so name names already, please, for the public good.
Of course it’s “inequitable” – it’s his/her client that was stupid enough to buy a property at foreclosure without looking at the title company’s report sheet that would’ve listed it as a 2nd lien when they went to the NLN parking lot auction.

I’ve seen the Associate Division Counsel job posed at DR Horton for quite some time now. Are they having trouble filling it or are people quitting? Anyone know what the catch is?
Sometimes jobs are posted by employers with zero intention of filling them. Not sure if that’s the case with DR Horton, but I wouldn’t be surprised in this job market.
Not OP but bus do it for many reasons like to see if market can staff should they build somewhere, for word of mouth usu small businesses, to prove they were looking at everyone before hiring brother in law etc – I once went to an interview that was like an ad for the firm zero interest in me I could tell, total bs. Ps I have no info on any firms mentioned here I’m speaking generally
Judge Hardy – stop setting your docket for 9:00 when you never take the bench until at least 20 minutes later. Really maddening.
Sleepy Joe.
20 MINUTES is nothing. Quit your whining.
Must be having coffee with Judge Delaney.
its not nothing when your billable rate is $500/hour
I use Signal regularly. Better interface and less infiltrated with scammers and Bots than WhatsApp and Telegram.

Yes. If that actually happened. Which I am not yet convinced. Hoax allegations persist, as well. We shall see.
Actually, Signal is end to end encrypted. So, no Signal engineers cannot access. THAT’s the whole point of end to end encryption.
>If that actually happened. Which I am not yet convinced.
The government confirmed it happened.
Unless it was intentional. Sounds possible that the Trump PR machine is killing it. Again, I guess we will see.
you sound like a conspiracy theorist and/or idiot
Keep moving the goal posts I guess.
“That never happened”
“If it did, it was intentional”
Tomorrow it’ll be “Nothing bad happened so it’s ok”
And the next day it’ll be “The radical democrats are trying to hurt the military”
Funny thing is that I just don’t GAF what you think. But, if I did, I might say that I wasn’t asserting anything as fact. Just posing various theories that are being posited.
“So. Ain’t we both content.”
lol ok chief
Hey, you’re ‘just asking questions’
Clown car shit show dumpster fire train wreck

Why didn’t they put the As at Cashman? There would have been so much built around it. Not to mention more parking and less traffic access.
Likely because its in the CoLV. Clark County would never in a million years let the City snake this away from them.
The Cashman Field location would not work for John Fisher’s business model, which is pretty smart. For years, he has made the A’s one of the most profitable franchises in baseball by maximizing revenue sharing and minimizing payroll.

Fisher only needs 5% of tourists to attend and a few droplets of locals to make this work financially. And the best part for him is that he can continue to spend almost nothing on payroll and yet still sell these tickets.
As I recall, the A’s pitch to the city/county included revenue projections that required 100% of seats sold for every, repeat every, game.
The numbers presented to the Legislature were nonsense, as were the “renderings” of the stadium. The A’s were smart to hire Jeremy “for the record” Aguero to present this to the Legislature. He has an aura of academia and authority that gave the project credibility.
You could argue that the Knights and the Raiders sold every seat to season ticket holders so maybe the A’s can too. They are counting on the locals buying them all assuming they can flip them to tourists to help subsidize the games they attend. I do not know so maybe you can tell me if that is working for the people that bought all the hockey and football tickets?
Here’s the challenge:
Raiders: 8 regular season home games x 65,000 seats = 520,000 regular season tickets.
Knights: 41 regular season games x 17,500 seats = 717,500 regular season tickets.
A’s: 81 regular season home games x 33,000 seats = 2,673,000 regular season tickets.
There are not enough $1 hotdogs and cheap draft beer in all of Las Vegas to ever entice me to attend eighty-one baseball games in my lifetime.
They only need you to attend 4-5 a year, which you will probably do. And you’ll pay $30 for parking and $15 for a hot dog.
This is a very good point.
So the A’s would leave the dump that was the Oakland Coliseum to move into a smaller venue that was a bigger dump? That would never have been approved by MLB.
Yeah, but our dump is full of tourists dumb enough to fall for resort fees.
Cashman was never full of tourists. Cashman was the Stars/51s playing in front of friends and family
1:44 PM here. I wasn’t referring to Cashman. I was referring to the new stadium, financed with public dollars and money from John Fisher’s mom.

when the police report an active shooter or crime, they don’t use the hotel name, but when someone trips they name and shame, please list your preferred explanation below.
One is a criminal act and the other one is civil?
One involves Metro controlling the narrative in coordination with the hotels; one involves a plaintiff lawyer’s PR machine setting the narrative.
Because Metro is not a real police department, they are nothing but armed security guards for the resorts paid for by taxpayers.
Client arrested and then all charges denied. We went to Metro to get police report, told it did not exist. Went to prosecutor’s office, told there was no police report. Contacted Internal Affairs and police report suddenly appeared. Gamesmanship.
How to tell Nevada has a broken tort system? Slip in the shower lawsuits. Give me a friggin break.
It depends. That is why we have juries.
And you’re part of the problem. Depends on what? Shower and water. Shower and water equals potential for slippery. Person has eyes can visual the shower and water and rationally and reasonably infer slippery. Can’t deal with potential for slippery, don’t get in shower. But hey you know, some esteemed member of the bar will take the case and a gutless wonder of a judge will say its a question of fact, and some gutless insurance company will rollover, cuz you never know what a jury will do.

breaking news, person slips on slippery wet shower, hotel failed to monitor shower for water spills
