That would be a direct violation of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and would lead to full scale war.

He was using it to say the National Basketball Players Association was losing money because the WNBA made the NBA lose revenue. It doesnt make any sense at all. The NBPA gets a ~50% split of revenue, not profit.

Agreed on that.

The owners do lose profit, albeit relatively minimal.

The only thing Iran is doing is telling Trump what Trump wants to hear and then doing exactly what they think Allah commands them to do, which is to nuke the USA and nuke Israel.

Iran knows that their best strategy is to run the clock out on Trump and hope the Dems take power again.

They're going to survive a closed strait for almost three years?

How stupid are you mofos that you dont even understand the difference between revenue and profit? Yet youll criticize billionaire owners with teams full of financial advisors like they are the idiots and are losing money

Its used in discussions because profit margins are different for every team and not released publicly.

Do you not understand the WNBA is losing millions?
And the REVENUE to support those lost millions are coming from the NBA?

Pretty simple.

The NBA generated $12.25 billion in revenue last year. It expected to reached $15B this year.

re: Baseball physics question: hitting for distance vs speed of fastball....

Posted by KosmoCramer on 4/14/26 at 9:00 am to carguymatt

Vexit = q x Vpitch +(1 +q) x Vbat

q: Speed of the ball leaving the bat.

Vbat: Speed of the bat at the point of impact.

Vpitch: Speed of the pitched ball.

q (Collision Efficiency): This coefficient depends on the "liveliness" of the bat (COR - Coefficient of Restitution).

For wood bats,
is generally 0.1 to 0.2 (0.2 is a perfect collision).

For non-wood bats,
can be higher due to the "trampoline effect".

re: Any recommendations for tire sensor replacement in Baton Rouge?

I hear you, but its a cheap replacement and its not 2 hours worth of labor.

Ive had them come unsynced and drove up tot he dealership to be reprogrammed, takes like 45 seconds.

Problem is, when the battery dies on them, which is where im at. I understand i have to pay, but im not paying the cost of a tire for a 15 dollar sensor. They dont harge that kind of labor to patch a tire.

They buy them, install them yourself, and either figure out how to program them or take it to a mechanic or dealer to do it. They're likely to charge for syncing.

Or pay what everyone charges to do the whole job.

Or wait until you buy new tires and negotiate since they already have the wheels off.

My BIL went berserk about the estimate he got for this recently. He claimed Amazon had a component to fix this easily, but I never verified it.

Its not the cost of the sensor, it's the labor. They have to take the tires off, replace the sensor, then program them.
