re: Nike's stock is down 75% over the past 5 years

had the genius idea to basically abandon specialty brick and morter shops and thought all of their specialty shopping should be online. By doing this they fricked over their long established mom-and-pops/indy chains, and specialty shops. Before they had like 75% of the shelf space in those shops and no one else could make a dent because of their long established relationships.
Compounding the problem is that shoes are one of the things that people, especially athletes, need to try on in person for proper fit and comfort. Now, someone may buy a different color-way of a shoe that they already own online, but if they are actually using it for a sport or just for comfort, they need to try them on in person.

Now they basically survive on Basketball and Retro/collector shoes, and Jordan's.
This is absolutely true. Long gone are the Tinker Hatfield days of creating original and influential designs. I can't think of a shoe that Nike has created in the last 20 years that had the impact of what they were doing in the 80's and 90's. Most of Nike products you see on shelves is nothing but Jordans, Dunks, Air Force 1's and other designs from 30+ years ago.

Not really. I figured we'd land around 8-10, but whatever. With the expanded playoffs and how things are now, it'll work itself out through the year. Heck, maybe it'll be a little motivation for the players that top 10 rankings are no longer an entitlement.
This isn't like in the BCS days where if you came in outside of the top 5 you were pretty much locked out of a chance for a title if two of the teams in the top didn't lose a game.

All of the above. She was actually pretty upfront about it all. She went through rehab and mental care facilities a few times. Even talked about how her daughter lives in Ukraine with Klitschko because she had dealt with so many issues that it was more healthy for her to be there.
Kind of sad that she was aware of it all but couldn't quite crack the code.
re: How do we know restaurants serving pancakes are not using store bought add water mixes?

I just had pancakes at a fairly popular restaurant in my area and their pancakes taste just like my homemade pancakes I make at home and I always use the add water mixes.
Pancakes are flour, baking powder and baking soda with egg and water or milk. The premix isn't really any different that what you'd make from scratch. Not exactly a food that calls for a special recipe of any sort.
re: Retirement Account Goals?
Posted by RolltidePA on 8/17/26 at 11:53 am to Lsut81
Ideally I'd like to be at $5M. Currently 50 years old and passed $3M earlier this year between 401k, IRA and brokerage accounts. It's wild to say that, because my wife and I were dead broke in 2014.
I have a very late December birthday, my current plan is to pull the cord a few days after I turn 54 when the rule of 55 can take effect. $700k is in the brokerage account so I should have enough for the gap years. Hopefully I'll continue to add to that for a couple years.
Being in the catch up contribution window and adding my bonus, share payout and rev share into investments, barring a market pullback think I can get to my number. My wife is 9 years younger and will continue to work for at least another 8-10 years after I call it a day, so that helps as well.

With that kind of numbers I think it would take at least a combat platoon. They may not have advanced weapons, but you couldn't reduce their numbers quickly enough to not get yourself simply overrun.
With significant firepower available a large combat platoon of 50 may be able to handle it. 40,000 is a big number to manage, even with a technological advantage.

re: Ugggghh shopping for a car. Start today.

Nope. It still sucks. There’s a Mazda dealer in my areas (Southern States in Raleigh) that doesn’t pull BS and finance / GM doesn’t try to do any upsells.Got 0.9% rate through Mazda and was fine with that. So, I’ve been driving Mazdas the last few go rounds because they are fast to get to a good price and easy to deal with.
I did my last negotiation with them over text without ever going into the dealership. Got the deal I waned, went in to drive the vehicle just to make sure I didn’t hate it and was out of there in less than an hour. Longest part of the experience was them prepping it for delivery.
Kind of crazy that the only reason I’m driving a particular brand of car is because the dealership doesn’t suck.

Bull in the ring. It’s now outlawed
I had an a-hole coach that used bull in the ring as a punishment drill. If you made mistakes in a game, you'd have to do that drill on Tuesday until you couldn't get up from the hits. The guy was intentionally getting kids injured. I saw one poor guy basically go at the drill for what seemed like 15 minutes until he finally got knocked out cold and concussed. We had more guys out during the year from that drill than anything that actually happened on the field. Thankfully that guy got fired after one year.

Lavar Arrington ran straight over me in the WPIAL Championship game in 1993. He was freshman that played running back and was still probably twice my size.
Now, for a teammate, I played high school baseball with Sean Casey. Great guy all around.

re: Continuing on my work theme…how many people have you had to fire/lay off in your career?
Posted by RolltidePA on 8/5/26 at 11:33 am to sidewalkside
Currently in the process of "separating" an employee. It's a brutal process in the corporate world and takes months. I knew this one was going to be bad from the start, they came to my team because of a reorg and their earlier boss had their choice on who to send my way from their team. I had no choice or oversight in the process.
I knew they were sending me someone underperforming so that I would have to do all the dirty work to get them out the door. Really frustrating.
I've had to do some layoffs and had to end contracts. Honestly, those are much worse than letting go of someone who is underperforming and has a bad attitude. Most of those folks were good at their job and good people to be around and work with. Knowing that they would be facing a hardship that was completely out of their control, because of some numbers on a spreadsheet made it hard to sleep at night.

PGA Tour is way worse off now than before LIV ever existed. pGA had to bring in PE and over extended themselves to thwart off this hostile takeover attempt.
PGA tour viewership is now the highest since it peaked in 2006 with a prime Tiger leading viewership and has been trending up since their renewed efforts since LIV got started. Last weeks 3M tournament viewership was up 100% from last year and has had YOY gains in the last 5 years. They would have ever been forced to refocus if LIV never challenged them.
PE was always going to be at play with the tour, as it's found its way into every other sport and now even college sports. Debate the health of that all you want, but it was always going to happen.

All trolling aside, why is LIV doing this? Do they have to make good faith efforts appearances for their bankruptcy claim? If so I get it. Anything short of that this makes no sense
Agree. I really can't imagine why they are trying to continue on a this point unless they are trying to show that they aren't abandoning their responsibilities for the following bankruptcy.

That money isn't going to save the league.

$250 million is a drop in the bucket for what LIV needs to stay in operation. That doesn't even cover the remainder of Rahm and a couple other players contracts let alone funding operations.
I'm not even a LIV hater, it drove some necessary change with the PGA tour. That said, it's time has passed and it's time to just wrap it all up and see how things get sorted out.
