NBA players are still massive by ordinary person standards but there's less rewards for assembling stationary 7-footers.

Yeah there's way better ways to get down with varying levels of KYC. Polymarket, some Crypto Casinos etcetera.

Procedures? Nearly all of them, although if for no other reason than the fact that midlevels don't do most types of procedures. This being for a variety of reasons including the fact that they don't get training in this area (or much training at all - NPs can be online degrees).
I understand that there are a lot of different procedures, but surely there has to be some sort of pareto principle involved in which the top 30 or so procedures cover 90% of the hospitalizations. I do agree that NPs will get the most basic cases, but what % of cases actually is that?
Is there that huge a difference between 23,000 hours of Child Psychiatry and 600? I work in a well-paid niche role and generally if somebody's got the right disposition towards it I'd be comfortable of allowing most fresh grads on the tools after about 50 hours of shadowing.

How many hospital procedures does the distinction between NP & Doctor make a meaningful difference, though? I'm sure there's shortfalls but is it a matter where 98% is functionally identical treatment? Plus frankly what % of the remainder cases where there'd be a meaningful differentiation represent productive uses of resources versus using pure ingenuity and the light of god to get the 85 year old to 87 years old.

Like if anyone could be made into a 7ft giant, would the current crop of NBA players remain? I doubt it. Almost all of them would be out-competed by harder working more conscientious guys
Agreed. I got a lot further in pro sports than I should have due to being a 99th outlier in certain physical attributes, but it was always funny seeing my position being 3 or 4 guys of a potential pool of about 10, maybe 20 candidates versus the normal-sized positions where it was 3 or 4 guys of hundreds of aspirants. The normal-sized guys were a lot more skilled/generally able as a result of that filtering.

A decentralized exchange is relatively low-trust since you just use it to convert and don't deposit. Uniswap the most popular example.
How would physical cash not assist? Likely easier to slowly convert that into your preferred currency than raw BTC

Could probably use a decentralized exchange of some sort to swap it into stables and then various ways of getting it into physical USD.

Yeah but if I've got a deck of 60 cards and I'm against a fast burn deck and I've got GAMEWINNER9000 (RRP $10,000) which instantly wins me the game if drawn in my deck, I haven't actually got that big a % of actually pulling that card in context of a single game.

Very aware of my privilege in this regard, my heart bleeds for friends who don't have the same combination of attributes and I feel kind of bad for not developing my romantic skillset earlier

Yeah. Floyd argument for negligence but I can also see how the arresting officer could have done it unintentionally. Opposed to gangbeating a restrained man.

No as in 'things that make you more likely to be a felon also make you less likely to be a voter'

Are felons less likely to vote demographically, though? Wild speculation but I'd imagine a variety of factors that correlate with felonious inclination are anti-correlated with voting.

I don't really see who it galvanizes to back Trump. The hollowing out of the middle means that I don't think that there's a huge bed of people who are gonna be additional votes for him as a result.

successful guy who wants to feel inherently valued for something, rather than just for his job skills.
OP didn't mention any particular romantic success on his coworker's part, just that he was good at job skills. I'd be willing to wager that they're sufficiently far onto the spectrum that the dating market had essentially completely rejected them, leading to trans affiliation as a hugbox.

Exactly. The homeless problem in Australia has expanded, but generally the times I feel any real intrusion from a homeless person is when they're clearly impaired by some sort of substance and thereby considerably more likely to perform random violence. The Summer of Love was lovely, but why in this Fentanyl-infused era do we need to continue tolerating it?

NCAA is no longer the default pathway to the NBA with overseas professional leagues, G-League and 1-and-done college stints all becoming more prevalent in the last 5 years. Plus the internationalization of Basketball means there's way more overseas talents.
It's hard to cultivate star power in College Basketball as a consequence, and in the meantime a lot of the Blue Blood programs are struggling which increases volatility and decreases interest.

It's funny the WNBA can't capitalize on WNCAA interest when the latter is a feeder to the former (admittedly a lot of charismatic WNCAA players will go from being superstars in that arena to middling in the pro leagues, but still)

They have been out of the game so long that they don't realize that a 30+ woman, possibly with kids, is simply not going to command the same sort of attention, especially with newer models on the showroom floor.
I think you're overhyping this a bit. Many is the couple where the guy suggests an open relationship, not realizing that even their middle-aged wife/partner commands about 50,000x the desirability in the hookup market even if things have evened out a lot in the longterm partner market.

True, and it's multi-faceted.
The girls I met who I was super-enthused about probably saw me as being towards the lower end of their prospects (assuming that attractiveness is the same for everybody), thereby creating a mismatch.
Like if I'm a Male 6/10 who's getting normally distributed dates at an average of say a Female 4.5/10 (since inherent gender gap), I'm gonna look like a great prospect to my 3/10's who I'm not gonna want and I'm gonna see the fellow occasional 6/10 as a great lead but not get the same enthusiasm in return since their dating range will have some 8/10's.
Are those technological issues or byproducts of Western bureaucracies and labor dynamics making it very hard to actually erect a best in class port/train infrastructure?
