We're renovating an unfinished garage and adding a second floor. The dimensions of the studs were recorded wrong on the architectural drawings which was caught almost immediately when the demo team showed up on day 1. Is it normal for the client to be charged for the architect and engineer needing to redraw the plans? Fortunately, the changes were minor and no major structural issues presented themselves as a result, so the cost isn't high, but it also surprised me that we were being charged at all to fix a mistake they made.

I understand that you can't serve people cat food - even for free, but you can give people cat food. I'm not trying to trick people or be duplicitous in any way and I'm not charging people anything. I'm unclear where the line is.

Can I put some cat food on a little round metal button and stick a Popsicle stick in it and give it away on the street for free if I say something like "Can I interest you in this cat food? It's food for cats."

The Nuggets currently have their best defensive rating of any playoffs of the Jokic era.

The problem is their shooting. But they're still getting the open shots, so it's not like they're being stifled by the defense. The shots just aren't falling. But that will happen randomly because shooting performance is probabilistic not strictly deterministic. The sample size of the shooting this series is small enough that the difference between them making their season average might be small enough that it's explainable as statistical noise.

If you flip a coin enough times, you'll occasionally get stretches with far too many heads to seem normal, but what would actually be surprising would be if you never had stretches like that.

I haven't actually worked out how unlikely the Nuggets' shooting this series is, but the games have been close enough that the difference between 4-0 and the 1-3 they're currently at might itself be insignificant.

Idk if that makes me more or less unhappy with what I've seen from them, or if what I'm most disappointed by isn't the scoring or the stats or the wins and losses but the emotions and attitudes.
