I would drop Wilson. Wilson is a temp starter in a backfield that is likely going to be a 3 man RBBC all year. Unless you need the juice immediately. I would not drop Dotson at all. I like Kirk this year, as well.
-
Thank you both. I will make sure I watch going forward. I didn't realize there was more after the credits started rolling. Explains a lot.

Swift says he's not in any danger of not playing. It might just be planned rest. Re: Jones I drafted Dillon in both leagues. I think he's the better player evidenced by the second half of last season and what we saw in Week 1. Dillon leading the team in targets with Lazard out was pretty telling. Led in carries, as well. I think it you think that GB will be playing behind a lot this year Jones will be a good asset but otherwise he's probably not going to live up to the value of where he was drafted at unless Dillon gets hurt.

Finished the ep last night. Perhaps it was because I couldn't tell what the hell was going on with the uncle sex but while watching I did not get the fact that he was having boner troubles. I thought it got a little rough and aggressive and he got pissed and pulled out. Then my next thought was that the princess boinked Cristan to cover up for her uncle boning in case she were to get pregnant. She could just blame it on Ser Cristan. Doesn't seem like any of the reviews I've read interpreted it that way, though. It was cool seeing the light come on and seeing her start to scheme during her conversation with Alicent. Oh shit we've got a devious one here. Alicent quicky realized it, as well. And yeah I agree with whoever said it above and I said it a few pages ago after last week's rised episode, Ser Cristan is gonna die soon at the hand of Daemon.

I think I will bite on Taysom in the league I'm helping my buddy with. TE is the only week spot with zero catch Cole Kmet. I will hold him another week due to the monsoon factor. @CurlyDumps what do I know, but I'm still very high on Javonte. I think it's a long play and by the end of the year he will be an undisputed RB1, and in the meantime he's going to be a guy you can start and get good production out of regardless of the timeshare, a la Chubb/Hunt. He's going to score, 12 targets and 11 catches is titties in PPR, and the dude is just explosive. He was ripping off 11 yards every time he touched the ball in the first half before they got behind. Gordon is a good player for sure but Javonte is better and that is going to play itself out as the season progresses imo.

I remember this. Little known fact, this is @Wally Fairway's sister. Lake Lansing Meijer, wasn't it Wally?
-
Yes. Extremely messed up but again, this story has always been extremely messed up. I still don't understand why Gepetto brings a goldfish bowl with him everywhere he goes.
-
My God it's terrifying. Who directed this shit, Stephen King? It's quite good. I need to look into the back story of the original novel this was based on. I can only assume LSD was involved. Pleasure Island does not disappoint. It's like a cross between Small World, Main Street USA and Mr. Phlegm's nightmares.

I was gonna post a Pinocchio thread but given today's events I'm just gonna lay low.

If I could I'd teleport you a bottle of the good gummies. I've been there, miserable stuff. Do you have a tens unit? For immediate support and relief, agree with above, double up a pillow, lay on your back with your knees up and bent and put the pillow in the small of your back. If have a heating pad and a tens unit use those while in the same position. Yes to Advil to hopefully help reduce inflammation. For longer term relief get to an orthopedic doc as soon as you can and get a script for PT. That is what has worked for me.

This thing does seem to be an absolute beating on my battery life. Any way around that @52-80?
-
I'm a little torn on giving the name out because I aired some personal stuff. Then again knowing Ed a little bit I don't think he would mind, and he'd probably spill his guts to anyone who would have a drink with him within 20 minutes. I felt it was important to share those details to help build his character arc. I'll just say that it wouldn't be too hard to find using the Google machine and it's his wife's page and if you do follow, please be respectful. I'll edit some of those details so we don't have to move the thread. I think it would be awesome to hear other stories.

There's probably a better way to do it but I think I have it working. Go to Tasks tab > Add task > Bluetooth Connection > (Ignore output variables) > Under Action select "Disconnect" > Under Device select (Vehicle Name) Done here Go to Profiles tab > Add Profile > Select "State" > Select "BT Connected" > Under Name search for (earbud device name) That's it. Profile should be active but if not toggle it on. I tested, put the earbuds on, went out to the car, turned it on. It disconnected from my earbuds for a second, saw the tasker lightning bolt in my status bar saying it had done its magic, and I hit the button on my earbuds and was back in business. It seems I can manually override by selecting Pixel 6 in my car as the media source but I'm guessing that would be music only at that point, and hitting the play button again on my buds switched it back to them.
-
No shit. I installed it earlier. Messed with it for about 30 seconds and decided I'd be best served trying to figure it out on the couch tonight when I have a spare couple of hours. Then again I went to Michigan State so maybe you all will have better luck. Pos rep to 52-80 though.

Gambling thread everything. Goes talk about your bad beats here
Baboontyme replied to Im_smarter_then_you's topic in Gambling
I will be dialing up a lot of single game parlays. I know they are not smart and I'm getting hosed on odds. But I don't care, they are fun as hell and I bet to have fun, not make money. That idea went out the window a long time ago. I had Henderson in a couple of leagues last year and drafted him late 1 of the 2 leagues I'm in this year. I have followed the Rams two headed RB saga fairly closely this off-season. Of course we won't know until we see but it sure sounds to me like this is going to be a true timeshare and Henderson has been the better goal line back. That's the key here, the rest feel pretty good to me. Trail at your own peril. This is on FD. -
Watched last night. Starting to get some flow. I'm fully in at this point. Given all we know about this world there is seemingly nothing more predictable than Daemon killing Ser Cristan and probably soon.

Anyone know of a Bluetooth manager app that will let me do stuff like if x device is present always connect to x unless manual override. If x is not present connect to y. When I have my earbuds on and I leave the house to go pick up the kids or go to the gym I don't want it to switch to the car. But it's pretty annoying to have to go into Bluetooth settings every time before I get into the car to tell it to not connect to my vehicle for media or phone.

That is my 9 year old. That shits even creepy for surly. I think. Maybe Brat can weigh in.

Would you press charges? (incident at middle school)
Baboontyme replied to Hmbre97's topic in Daily Texan
@Hmbre97 any updates? I've thought about this situation a few times with school starting last week and having a 7th grader of my own. Hope it all worked out. -
Few more pics. The first one is him jumping into St. Clair from the TOP of the pilot house in 2019. You can see the inside of the "salon" is a bit of a mess. My 9 year old mixing him a drink 😉. Other one is my oldest kid in the dinghy with the good Captain, also in 2019.

I feel like this guy's story is pretty good, but not good enough that he deserves his own thread. I am sure there are millions of people around the world who do unique stuff like this, so let's hear about those who you have run across. I want to talk about my wife's best friend's Dad. We'll call him Captain Ed. Ed bought a jewelry store in Grosse Pointe, MI in the late 60s/early 70s. This was and still is a high falutin' area with a lot of money. Ed says that he made his fortune because he was good with his hands in terms of doing whatever jewelers do, and because he took care of his customers, regardless of what it meant to his bottom line. He did well. At some point in the late 80s, Ed attended a Boat show at Cobo Hall in Detroit. He had worked on some sort of Great Lakes boat out of Cleveland as a teen, but had gotten into trouble for duplicating the key to the bar and stealing all of the liquor and getting caught. He was denied entry to the Coast Guard but always carried an affinity for the water, despite going into the Jewelry business. He was a self-admitted troublemaker and heavy drinker who got into trouble with the law quite often in his teens and 20s. Anyway, there was a particular boat, a trawler(?) maybe, I guess that caught his and his daughter's eye at this boat show. A 36 footer Kadey-Krogen. Ed's 10 year old daughter said she liked and it he should buy it. So he did. It was iirc 90k at the time, and he got an additional 3k off because they planned to take it to the Toledo Boat Show the following weekend and he let them. Within a few years, Ed found himself divorcing, because in his own words, he's "an asshole, who does what he wants". But he has "a certain charm" and everyone likes him. Can confirm. Ed decided he wanted to sell his business and live on the boat. He found a younger woman who he dated who he talked into doing this with him. The price? He surrendered his vote to this very progressive young woman, and he promised to give her his Marco Island beachfront condo when he kicked it. Ed says this was the best deal he ever made. Ed and his new bride took to living on the boat. They hail out of Grosse Pointe and now own a marina slip in St. Clair Shores, MI, a few miles up the shores of Lake St. Clair from The Pointes. They are "loopers". They hold the record for the most iterations of "the Great Loop" of anyone. They are going on their 33rd year of doing The Great Loop. They spend July to early October in SE Michigan. They then take off heading North into Lake Huron, pass through the straits of Mackinac and head South in Lake Michigan towards Chicago. They take the Chicago River to another river to the Tennessee River and eventually find their way into the Mississippi into Mobile. They stay a few months in Mobile before heading to the Gulf and eventually to their winter slip in Marco Island (his sister lives in the condo). In the Spring they take off from Marco and either head around the tip of FL or through Okeechobee and come up the Atlantic Coast, into the Erie Canal etc and back to Michigan. The Great Loop has become a thing, in large part due to Ed and his wife. Europeans quit their jobs and move to the US for a year or more to do it. They have become quasi-famous. Their boat - the Manatee - has it's own fan pages on FB and people post often of sightings. The Manatee has its own 'dinghy' - a maybe 10 ft inflatable boat with a crazy, overpowered outboard motor. I don't know shit about boats but Ed tells me it's powerful enough that he can rig it to actually push or tow the 36 footer at a speed equal to the 36' top speed of ~ 7 mph. Yes, they circle the country via rivers at 7 mph. When Ed and his wife have had enough of each other he will take off with the dog in the dinghy and go do an errand or a "field trip" and it's fast enough (or the big boat is slow enough) that he can catch back up with her on their journey. I've been on the Manatee 4x including yesterday, and every time it's more fascinating than the last. Ed is now 82 years old. He does everything on the boat - he has an air compressor that he uses to not only clean the boat but also to blow him air so he can go underneath the rig and clean the prop, transducer, etc before heading back down South every year. That was part of our mission yesterday. Inspect the boat for sea-worthiness before they take flight in a month. He has a winch and an indestructible mast and a sail and he uses the winch to hoist/offload his 125cc scooter that they park on land at the marinas for errands. In terms of the character himself, Ed drinks to the chagrin of his wife. They bicker as you can imagine. It's a miracle she puts up with him. Ed says the key to longevity to any couple that decides to live on a boat is to get a dog. And for that we can all thank Patches, a 10 year old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. Patches has become famous in her own right, as she often finds her way off of the Manatee and into the water where Ed and/or his wife have to retrieve her with a custom made fishing net that hangs near the mast. Ed tells me he starts drinking most days around 3 PM. He drinks the cheapest scotch he can find in a plastic bottle, as glass is a no no if you can avoid it when on the seas. He has not been short for money in the past but he just has lost his taste for good liquor so why splurge. At dinner time he lays down in bed to satellite TV, and his wife serves him dinner. Then he drinks more scotch and passes out. The dog wakes him up around 5 every morning and he takes her for a long walk before coming back to the Manatee to research his stocks. The market has not turned Ed's way of late, endangering their current "looping" lifestyle as they embark on Loop #33. He says with a wink that he will figure it out because he always does. I have no doubt he will. 82 years young. Cheers to Captain Ed.

Ok. I'm not an expert I just got entrenched in this due to boredom basically. Love the QB combo. I was ok with Lance and like him a lot but was looking to back him up with Rodgers or Russ. Can't stress enough how much I like Etienne it just didn't work out. Could Julio have a sneaky really good year with like 80 catches and 7 TDs? I think so.
-
I don't know your rules but it appears you don't have a QB? Hard to judge. My .02 which is not worth a shit. Kupp regresses. Chubb has a big year even if Hunt isn't traded and I kind of think he will be. Waddle is co WR1 in Miami. Mike Williams is a Top 15 WR in non PPR. CEH has the best year of his career. Had gall bladder surgery right before the start of the season last year and didn't advertise it.

I did the F Pros assistant overlay thing for my buddy's league to help him as he's clueless. It glitched out once in like the 10th round where it lost sync and all of a sudden the ESPN ding rang and we were up and had to switch tabs. I refreshed the tab with the F Pros assistant and that fixed it. Really happy with this result. We drew 10th. It's a 12 Team PPR. Went Swift, Mixon, hoping Pittman or AJ Brown fell to us and got MPJ, then got Sutton, Lamar, Chase, Dillon, Moore, Toney and Lockett. TE is not great but don't really care. Probably should have taken Njoku as I think he has more upside but oh well. When I look at the experts who liked our draft the most it was the two F Pros guys who both gave it a 99 A+. https://i.imgur.com/GrFW4rZ.jpg
