And just like that, the 2023-24 NBA Trade Deadline has passed. Let’s start with teams that I feel like had themselves a good deadline. An an outsider looking in, there are a few things that would excite me as a Knicks fan. These aren’t the same old Knicks. We already know the OG Anunoby trade was a slam dunk. That alone is a win. But then you look closer and the moves get even better in my opinion....

(That’s not a compliment.) But the same goes for anyone in the middle of an act creation. Someone building a deck onto a house. Putting together a LEGO set. Editing the rough-cut of a video. Hell, I don’t anyone reading one of these blogs while it’s half written. Because it’ll be an incomprehensible mess, filled with grammatical errors. I don’t post anything until it’s a barely comprehensible mess, filled with grammatical errors....

I guess the omission kinda makes sense but this is a movie that is about heroin. This trailer makes you think Trainspotting is a heist movie. It’s about friendship, maturity, responsibilities, consequences and lots and lots of heroin. It has so much more depth than a traditional heist movie. When this came out, some people said it glamorizes drug use. If you think Trainspotting shows drug use in a good light, you’re a fucking idiot....

But that’s a comment on how special this one was. In his 24 years here, there was a lot of talk about a lot of rivalries. But none can compare to the one they had with Baltimore. These games were bloodsport, every time out. Prior to this the two teams met in the playoffs three times, all at Gillette. But this one soars above all the rest. In boxing terms, this was Hagler-Hearns....

While trade buzz is fun, what will always matter more to me is what happens on the hardwood. Even a game like last night against the 10th seeded 22-29 Hawks. Having already made a trade earlier in the day, it’s only natural that players might be distracted. Not all wins are going to be like your playing the G-League Grizzlies where you win by 40. Sometimes you have to grind shit out and find a way to win....

A supermarket deep in rural Germany had a problem. The kids were motivated but inexperienced, says Avik Mukhija, co-founder of retail techstartupFreshflow.

Those are the best waste reduction rates weve achieved so far, says Mukhija. Freshflow currently employs 15 people and has raised 3 million. But demand is constantly in flux....
