Omaha announced that Ringo Starr will headline a free concert this summer. Is he worth going to?

This is a scenario and question I heard on a podcast recently. You're given the supernatural ability to dispense beverages from one of your fingertips any time that you choose. However, your drink menu is limited to only 3 specific beverages for the rest of your life with no ability to change them once you've made your decision.

What's your 3 beverage choices?

For me:

Ice cold water

Coke Zero

Espresso

It sucks to be limited to just 3 because I really want to also have a premium mixed drink of some sort and chocolate milk too.

Serious question - how many members are there on this board? Do you contribute any money to the NIL fund? We should all chip in and post a copy of our contribution on the site. I’d be down to give $250 to the bball fund to keep the ball rolling. Thoughts on a grass roots fundraising campaign?

Their Q2 is going to be a nightmare as China accounted for 40% of their Q1 deliveries.

As we scroll through the timelines of life, we pause to honor those whose contributions--however moronic or unhinged--have come to an abrupt and perhaps moderated end.
