> And if the league, broadcasters, and media don't get a share of the gambling money by selling advertisements, why would they even allow the gambling in the first place?
Because they're greedy and want any money they can get. They don't "allow" gambling, the law permits gambling. If it was illegal, no one would advertise it and they wouldn't get a dime.
Why is it legal? Taxes. Legal gambling means the government collects taxes.
Now? None. I believe they've all done away with it. In the past, quite a number of states. Mine was originally; but, I was able to change it in 1995, when Virginia began offering people the choice of SSN or a DMV number. (It was the result of efforts by the ACLU and others.)
Sure, but I don't think it is reasonable to perform a single physical activity if your goal is maintaining good health anyway. There is a neeed for resistance training, cardio, mobility and balance. E.g. lift weights, ride a bike, do some yoga. It is only a matter of finding activities that you enjoy.
I don't think that's reasonable at all. I ride and trail run regularly, and the amount of time that it subtracts from my nerd hobbies is *immense*. Other poster is right, the 99th percentile regular non-professional shredded athletes I know do one thing consistently.
Since you are spending an *immense* amount of time trail running, have you contemplated the pros and cons of reducing some of that time commitment and complementing your running with other physical activity to build other areas of your fitness beyond endurance?
You do you, but it's a bit like somebody consuming only large amounts of meat and somebody suggesting that it may be beneficial to reduce some of that and balance the diet with some other nutrients.
I'm more tempted to stop running again. I am less skilled at mountain biking today since I moved to a 1:3 weekly schedule (4h running and 6-16 hours riding). Our insane single friend who XCs from summit to summit 7-14 days straight 3mo/year is enjoying my conjured dream.
Health isn't my goal, it's a second-order effect. I just know that you can achieve top 1% fitness without the time-consuming yoga and gym routines.
"Environmental, social, and governance is shorthand for an investing principle that prioritizes environmental issues, social issues, and corporate governance. Investing with ESG considerations is sometimes referred to as responsible investing or, in more proactive cases, impact investing" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental,_social,_and_gov...)
federal (government) employees may except non-cash gifts of less than $20, per occasion, for a total of $50 in a calendar year from a single source. Cash it no permitted.
As is usually the case, different laws apply to Congress and the Senate. I believe it's $100 for House members and $250 for senators. of course, there are also political "donations."
Just because you have a single family home does not mean you can install a charger circuit. Not every single family home has driveway. Half the houses on my street lack a driveway/ (The two houses on the east side of mine were built in 1898 and didn't need a driveway.) There is street parking only on one side of the street, as well; so, running a cord from the house could mean crossing the street with it.
Because delivery is part of Domino's business model. Sure, you can walk in an get a pizza; but, they expect to deliver pizzas and their prices are based on that. A driver leaves with several orders, because they use a smaller delivery area and can optimize deliveries.
Doordash et al. normally have a driver picking up one order and delivering it. I've seen a driver picking up two orders; but, it's rare.
Most new computers with a new keyboard and mouse. Most people don't need a second one. (And the HN crowd probably has a lot of users with KVM switches.)
This is why I've never needed to buy one of those $1 mice (some of which are very high-end). I have my own box full of them.
Although I shouldn't say "never". I have a box full of keyboards, too, but needed a real PS/2 keyboard recently and discovered that I didn't save any from the last time I did an equipment purge. So I had to buy one from the reseller (which was where I donated my old ones to begin with. It's not impossible that I bought a keyboard I gave to them!)
