    Any holiday travel plans on United?

    One bump to the top... upgrades expire on 1/31, as in the flight needs to be before 2/1.

    Any holiday travel plans on United?

    I've got a few expiring GPUs (global upgrades) that I don't think I'll be using. They are good for a 1 cabin upgrade. On international flights, fare class needs to be W or higher, domestic flights it doesn't matter. I fly from IAH to TUL/OKC/DEN quite a bit so I can always use them on those...

    2018 NBA Playoffs-

    This is probably one of the more anticipated first rounds in recent memory (mine at least) where there are 2-3 plausible upsets and not many sweeps (outside of Houston and GS). I thought Miami would be be competitive tonight, but they were off and Whiteside is just a disaster. Bucks vs. Cs...

    The Masters

    Maybe I'm misreading this... but surely Phill was over 40 when he won the British... no? Darren Clark and Vijay also come to mind as being pretty old when they one majors.

    Darius Bazley going straight to the NBA G-League-

    The NCAA might own the rights to college basketball, but they don't own the rights to basketball. Unless there is some weird agreement in place, there is nothing stopping the NBA from expanding their development league to attract college basketball players. Take the talent level of the top...

    Darius Bazley going straight to the NBA G-League-

    I don't think college basketball is going to completely go away, but will probably turn into college baseball. College basketball makes a ton of money each year... and is run by the NCAA who couldn't be more of an archaic organization. Someone (probably the NBA) is going to convince themselves...

    Darius Bazley going straight to the NBA G-League-

    https://sports.yahoo.com/projected-top-10-draft-pick-make-leap-high-school-g-league-193725979.html This has an ever so slight feeling of the beginning of the end for college basketball. Way too much money is being made in college basketball, it was only a matter of time before someone else was...

    Chase Sapphire Preferred Card?

    If you have a somewhat regular travel schedule, I'd go with the Reserve. The travel credit takes the yearly fee down to ~$150, and you get 3x on travel. Booking through the Chase site is really easy, though I find myself transferring points to Hyatt, United and Southwest more than anything...

    National Anthem & The NFL

    I think your exact sentiment about the flag is what makes it such a powerful protest. Nobody is talking about this 1 year later if he altered his uniform.

    National Anthem & The NFL

    Ineffective?? Name one person who wasn't involved in a police shooting that has been ground zero for racial inequality conversation over the last decade.

    Costco advice

    Correct me if I'm wrong (might be an OK thing) but Costco alcohol doesn't require a memevership.

    Programmers: Anyone ever create an algo for trading?

    I do a bunch of time series modeling for industrial equipment (anomaly detection, predictions, optimization)... can you be a bit more specific about what you are looking for? What is the look back window, your needed reaction time etc. You can look into Ninjatrader or a dozen or so other...

    $201 Million.. Now $228 Million

    Hayword to Boston and they still have a bunch of nice assets. The Summer of 2018 is going to nuts. All signs point to Lebron leaving Cleveland.

    ESPN

    I just didn't think Kanell was interesting at all. I used to listen when SVP was on but I thought that show suffered with Kanell.

    ESPN

    I haven't given Bomani a fair shot but I love the Lebatard show. You need to give the show a few weeks, but it will ruin all other sports radio shows.

    Aaron Hernandez suicide.

    Is "rotten to the core" a medical diagnosis? I think Random_John's point is a good one, but it is nuanced (which isn't the LR's specialty). Something, at some point in time went horribly wrong with Hernandez. And his story ends with multiple dead people and him committing suicide in prison...

    Do you spank your kids?

    This is really confusing, who exactly is going to get "some payback"? Your unborn child?
