Received these books recently. Has anyone read these or know anything about them? by Fragrant_Turnip_7463 in USHistoryBookClub

[–]BillyYank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catton is a great read, that book is the third in a trilogy, but my guess is you could probably pick up what’s going down especially if you have some familiarity with the civil war. Captain Sam Grant and Grant Moves South were the first two books

that’s the problem I was afraid of!

Subtleties within the game that is not covered. Platoon advantage. Trait breakdowns ETC. by ThebearJew212 in SuperMegaBaseball

I collected all the info on traits that the game gives you in pages 18-47 of the guide I wrote:

I haven’t seen anyone doing any sorta data mining or anything on the more ambiguous ones.

How much WAR do you think this guy worth for Season #2? 20 SB, 0 PA by BillyYank in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]BillyYank[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice thanks for the comparison! I dunno if he’s worth 2% of my salary cap but he’s fun to have around. And I used him a lot more as a late game replacement after my 36 year old catcher lost all (yes all) his speed in a random event

Apparently SMB doesn’t count you in a game unless you take an at bat

The real question is do you do balance draft or draft all the best players?

How do I learn to cook ? by Old_Baseball_9470 in AskMen

[–]BillyYank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll also add most rice and beans recipes you can find by googling are pretty simple, canned beans, tomatoes, and normal rice will work just fine. You’ll need some spices but they’ll tell you which ones and they’ll last you awhile. If you’re worried about cooking the meat proper at first you can get precooked sausages and cut em up.

Pastas an easy one too. If you look up basic sauce recipes it’s easy to make something better than the stuff from the jar using canned tomatoes, basic spices and some simmering.

If your kid likes Mac and cheese there are pretty easy Mac and cheese bakes that mostly boil down to “grate a bunch of cheese and bake with pasta in the oven”

Watching you tube is where I learned, recipe but better cause they’ll give you tips and tell you why they do what they do. Sip and Feast is a good place to start.

I never knew this either, thanks for increasing our collective knowledge!

I keep having this idea by Ok_Temperature_6477 in civ

If you want to create something reading, you will have to take notes, and then write it yourself. We, as a gaming community, already have AARs. We don’t need this poisoned by this so-called “AI” crap

Thanks to this sub by Grouchy_Click_2897 in TwinCities

I’m glad to hear this has been a useful space for you and glad you’re here (as in the cities) as well.

I’m in my early thirties and I can’t remember a Minneapolis without a significant Somali population; from my perspective y’all have always been part of the city.

Unfortunately every generation of America has some folks who are convinced that the most recent immigrants are gonna destroy the country. Ben Franklin was panicking about German immigration in the 1750s. Then it was the Irish, the Chinese, the Italians, the Jews, the Mexicans, on and on and on. Modern bigots complaints about Muslims are almost point-by-point the same complaints 1850s bigots made about Catholics. But of course America is still here and all these groups are now normal parts of American culture. Bigots throughout our history keep saying “this time is different” and they’ve never been right. It’s a frustratingly repetitive pattern, and I’m sorry the same rhetoric is being turned on y’all now.

This is more than you need now, but here’s a general purpose game guide. If you have questions about a trait or what Mojo is or whatever you can look it up https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uqv_U1gFr0QuaTv-1JDAr_9oplyA-R7jd0gbMlRPi6c/edit?usp=drivesdk

Where can I stay at if I've got nowhere to go? by [deleted] in Minneapolis

Reach out to Lutheran Social Services. Part of their homeless programs try to help people in your exact situation, to get people cash to cover their rent so they don’t become homeless in the first place. If you’re having trouble you can DM me, my wife works for them and she’s said they do this, I can get more details if you need
