Coach K Duke teams would have never been that stupid at the end. They didn't need to pass the ball at all...and never would have even made it cross half court without getting fouled or the clock running out if they just dribbled. They did the ONLY thing they could do to lose once they successfully inbounded the ball...

If you watch Scheyer, he’s actually mimicking over the top pass as well to end with a dunk instead of screaming “hold the ball”.

Well I’m in K Town this morning. Short notice trip. Left DFW around 2pm and pulled in here at 3AM local it was a beat down of a drive. My best friend’s dad passed away and there was no way I wouldn’t be here. It wasn’t unexpected but it was sudden. He’d been ill for quite a while but was holding his own

Glad you were able to keep your 1.5 hands on the wheel and make it there safe.

Condolences to your friend in all seriousness..

You know another thing our damn house must have a proximity sensor that detects when I am 500 or more miles away and decides to freaking break. My wife has a list of three things she needs help with this morning. I’m on a face time call with her about our UPS (that MFer has pissed me off for the last time it gets a load of buckshot when I get back) and even wind up on a 45 min three way call with tech support. Their solution? Hurry back and do this jump thru hoops process my wife could not do. So I told all to piss off I’ve got bigger things to deal with and if the house is still standing when I get back I’ll get everything working again… or shoot it with a damn shotgun

That's crazy because the EXACT same thing happens to us, too. Whenever McRib is gone for a few days, the range and microwave stop working forcing me to eat unhealthy fast food and takeout. The vacuum and washer / dryer go dormant too. Can't do any laundry or floors. The recliner inexplicably starts floating requiring me to sit in it for extended hours to weight it down.

We still haven't figured out how the house knows when she is gone.

What's your risk tolerance?

high tolerance. Don't "need" the money. Not enough going in to make me Bezos-rich but happy to have more.

Retirement is covered with real estate.

Main thing is, I do not want to watch the fund every month to pull money out and place it in other instruments. I'd rather put it in and forget about it.

you recommending diversifying the funds into those? Or giving me some options to pick one and put all the eggs in that basket?

I’m in the same boat as you on my HSA mcdiddy. My wealth mgr recommended putting it in FDKLX and forget about it. Mojo can of course comment if he likes that idea or not but it’s been doing ok until the last month.
