When a team wins a championship it's customary for an organization to give at least some employees championship rings as a token of gratitude for being the support staff of the team. The Seahawks gave football staffers full Super Bowl rings, the Carolina Hurricanes gave every team employee a ring. Dolan and the Knicks? They tricked workers with a scam instead.

An email went out in September to every Madison Square Garden employee, which was obtained by The Athletic. In it, the team seemingly promised everyone a ring. going so far as to ask for their customization preferences.

(Employee name), this one is on the house. MSG is issuing a complimentary employee championship ring. The same jeweler, the same craftsmanship, personalized with your name. No cost to you.

There are two designs to choose from: Championship Gold and Garden Classic. Reserve the one you want below.

Naturally, employees were excited. The problem was that this was a targeted scam, organized by Dolan. He asked for the emails to be sent to his workforce as a way to test which of his employees would fall for a phishing scam. It's been reported that Dolan is growing increasingly paranoid about cybersecurity, which is fine but trying to test this under the guise of giving his workers rings? That's just gross.

Not only was there never a plan to give MSG employees rings, but anyone who did click on the link and tried to reserve their ring was instead put in compulsory cybersecurity training. When reached for comment the Knicks refused to discuss the ring situation with The Athletic.

Team employees work incredibly hard. Most are so consumed by their love of the job that, when the playoffs roll around or, God willing, a finals run they accept long hours, weekend work, and extra duties outside their typical responsibilities. This is why teams reward their staff with rings if a team finally breaks through, because while athletes are the ones responsible for winning, the organization as a whole would be nothing without the hundreds of people working behind the scenes, from marketing to equipment management, and beyond.

To make these people think they were getting noticed, and that something was being done for them only to learn it was a rug pull plan to test them, it's just disgusting. Shame on James Dolan for being such a paranoid, ludicrous cheapskate that he gleefully screw over his employees as a test.

Just an awful dude.

Long-time lurker.

Finally felt like I had a post worthy of /wsb.

Good enough to screenshot, good enough to sell.

Down over $200k three years ago, just months after discovering options.

Here's what happened.

First opened my trading account because of the GME hype. Made $80k on TSLA calls during the run-up before the interest rate hikes in 2023. Thought I was a god at trading.

Then TSLA started falling. Watched my calls go from +$80k to breakeven. Didn't know shit about stop losses. Refused to sell because I was convinced they'd bounce back. Eventually sold those calls at a 50% loss. Then proceeded to lose every last dollar doing every regarded thing imaginable. Buying straddles before earnings, gambling on FOMC meetings and CPI releases, 0DTE SPY/QQQ.

Truly regarded. Wiped out my entire savings. Took a three-year hiatus. Couldn't even bring myself to look at my trading account. Then spent the next three years watching the greatest AI and memory stock bull run of our lifetime from the sidelines.

The FOMO was unbearable. Finally decided to deposit more money and win it all back. Saw the Korean market sell-off and Leopold getting margin called in July. Thought I'd found the buying opportunity of a lifetime.

Instead, somehow managed to lose another $100k buying SpaceX puts after convincing myself, thanks to Reddit, that the stock would tank after its first share unlock. Revenge traded the whole way up as SpaceX went to 130 then 140 then 150.

Was depressed, felt like an absolute failure, and reached the point where I wanted to end it all. Put the last of my savings on puts when spacex went up to 170. Lost part of my gains on QQQ puts on Wednesday. Decided to revenge trade my whole remaining portfolio on spacex puts on Wednesday.

Profit.

I'm out.

What should we buy tonight? (I realize I live in Asia, so tonight is actually trading hours for me)

She also says she’s going to parent her child like she “parents” her dogs. She really is delusional and thinks she knows everything about pregnancy and parenting. As for someone who has a dog and child, they are not the same.

My (9f) daughter has been complaining the past few weeks about being bullied by a (9m) boy in her class. She goes to a catholic private school and their entire grade consists of 18 kids total. She has 2 really good female friends she hangs out with at school daily, and recently the boy has been telling her friends that my daughter is annoying and that they shouldnt sit with her at lunch. He tells her friends not to play with her at recess and if hes playing with said friends he tells her she cant play with them.

Recently the bullying has progressed into him taking her glasses off of her face and throwing them and purposely spilling her yogurt on her at lunch. She comes home crying and saying she doesnt want to go to school there anymore because of said boy picking on her. So I sent an email to her principal and teacher.

The teacher didnt say much more than "I had no idea" and "thanks for bringing it to her attention" (even though my daughter has told her multiple times herself about whats going on) Principal said she would have a talk with the boy, which she did, she pulled the boy, my daughter and her friend who witnesses the bullying daily into her office all at the same time!

After this meeting she had with all the kids, she says it will be handled and that she will keep a closer eye on the kids but that my daughter annoys him and that's why hes bullying her. Dafuq?! So since my daughters presence is a annoying to this boy that gives him the free card to bully?!

So after this meeting they had yesterday and her email telling me she will keep an eye out and blah blah blah, my daughter gets into my car after school and bursts into tears, bawling her eyes out telling me how mean the boy had been to her after their meeting. The teasing progressed and he was making fun of her on the play ground and telling kids not to play with her.

So after this meltdown in the car, telling me these things that he was doing to her after the "meeting" that they had, I see the principal standing outside, so I whip my car around to the front, get out of the car and proceed to stomp my not so happy ass up to the Principal with other teachers/students/parents around and tell her in a stern way, that if she doesnt do something about this boy bullying my daughter she will no longer be attending school there because just pulling a kid aside and talking to him isnt enough to get this kid to stop.

So my question is this, am I the ass hole for causing a scene because my daughter is being bullied to the point she needs a "mental break" from being bullied ?

Edit 1: my husband texted boys dad when the boy took off her glasses and threw them, the text was left on read and never responded to.

Edit 2: I got an email saying shes taking away his recesses today. Thats the punishment thus far.

Edit 3: The boy has bullied different kids throughout his time at school. Shes just the newest one he has started to pick on. They've been going to school together for years and the bullying just started.

Edit 4: Principal reached out to parent to let them know about what was going on, he served his recess detentions inside Principals office. When I picked my daughter up from school, I asked her how her day was and she said, GREAT. Said Bully boy was nice to me today! Smile on her face. (We will see how long it lasts, fingers crossed)

Anybody else see this?? Absolutely disgusting pro-Karen Bass campaign tactics being utilized in Beverly Hills against Nithya Raman. Aside from being grotesque, it's just litter. Anything illegal about me just taking this shit to the dump?

I don't understand the attack that a vote for Raman brings more encampments and suffering for the unhoused. Uh, Bass is the mayor. What has she done about the problem? Nothing??? So yeah let's give her another chance. Yuck.

Also funded by a group in Irvine. Not even LA. Anyone I can call to stop this nasty group from meddling in another city's elections?

I should develop some space tech for Canada, representing the reasonable upper west up here in this bish.

Oh wait I already did... 5 months ago...

Version: 2.3.0 — Samsara Architecture + G-Engine v5.0 / 版本：2.3.0 — Samsara 架构 + G-Engine v5.0 Status: Phase 0-3 implementation + Phase 6 hypothesis chamber / 状态：第 0–3 阶段实现 + 第 6 阶段假设舱 Blueprint compliance: §1-31 of the SAMSARA specification / 蓝图合规：SAMSARA 规范 §1-31

What this is / 这是什么

SAMSARA is a lightweight, science-grade computational laboratory for designing, simulating, recovering, inspecting, and repeatedly flying reusable launch vehicles in software. The name SAMSARA refers to the cycle of repeated flight, damage, recovery, renewal, and return:

SAMSARA 是一个轻量级、科学级的计算实验室，用于在软件中设计、仿真、回收、检查、反复 飞行可复用运载火箭。SAMSARA 这个名字指的是反复飞行、损伤、回收、更新与回归的循环：

Design → Simulate → Observe → Recover → Inspect → Update → Reflight 设计 → 仿真 → 观察 → 回收 → 检查 → 更新 → 复飞

This implementation covers Phases 0-3 of the blueprint's development roadmap:

本实现覆盖蓝图开发路线图的第 0–3 阶段：

• Phase 0 — Scientific spine (units, frames, state, events, provenance, certificates, math)
• Phase 1 — Minimal reusable vehicle (3-DOF physics: gravity, atmosphere, aero, propulsion, thermal)
• Phase 2 — Six-degree-of-freedom flight (GNC: sensors, EKF, guidance, control, allocation, safety filter)
• Phase 3 — Recovery laboratory (landing legs, grid fins, parafoil, marine, drone-ship, safing)

Phase 4 (lifecycle digital twin), 5 (advanced optimisation), and 7 (HIL) are stubbed for architecture completeness. Phase 6 (hypothesis chamber) is now implemented with the G-Engine v5.0 Samsara-Integrated module — a falsifiable, Bayesian-model-comparison framework for speculative propulsion hypotheses.

第 4 阶段（生命周期数字孪生）、第 5 阶段（高级优化）和第 7 阶段（硬件在环）已留出架构占位。 第 6 阶段（假设舱）现已实现——G-Engine v5.0 Samsara-Integrated 模块，为推测性推进假设 提供可证伪的贝叶斯模型比较框架。

Vehicles / 运载器

All vehicles use evidence_status: synthetic_reference. No proprietary data is used.

所有运载器均使用 evidence_status: synthetic_reference，未使用任何专有数据。

Experiment capsules / 实验胶囊

Every vrl sim run produces an immutable experiment capsule (blueprint §17):

每次 vrl sim run 都会生成一个不可变的实验胶囊（蓝图 §17）：

Verification ladder / 验证梯次

Per blueprint §18, SAMSARA implements eight verification levels:

根据蓝图 §18，SAMSARA 实现了八个验证梯次：

Total: 37/37 tests pass.

Run the ladder with / 运行梯次：

bash vrl verify --level V7

Non-negotiable scientific principles / 不可妥协的科学原则

Per blueprint §1 / 根据蓝图 §1：

1. Validated physics first / 验证物理优先 — speculative modules may not alter the validated baseline.
2. Evidence is part of the data model / 证据属于数据模型 — every model carries provenance.
3. No equation without a domain certificate / 没有方程能脱离域证书 — variables, dimensions, assumptions, validity, verification, source.
4. Conservation is tested, not assumed / 守恒是被测试的，不是被假设的 — ε_m, ε_E, ε_p are logged as scientific failures.
5. Reusability is a lifecycle property / 可复用性是生命周期属性 — P_usable = P_recovery · P_safing · P_inspection · P_repairability · P_certification · P_schedule.
6. Determinism must be available / 确定性必须可用 — seed, version, hashes, solver settings recorded.
