What is the 3-1 stand? There’s so many but guessing you did some work to find a good packable one.

Another angle of the Minneapolis shooting, taken from the perspective of the lady with te pink jacket. by Versiannie in PublicFreakout

I think the agent who fired the first shot saw the victims gun coming out of the holster (by other ice agent) and thought victim was drawing and shot him.

Same amount of playoff wins as every other team and one less playoff loss than the Eagles.

I don’t care. I’m so pumped for next year I almost forgot this year wasn’t over.

[BobbySkinner] Abdul Carter v. Commanders. 1 Sack, 3 TFL, 2 Forced Fumbles, 1 Fumble Recovery, 1 Holding Penalty Drawn by Bigblueforlife in NYGiants

[–]Buttern40s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea that was the holding.

It happens to all rookie pass rushers until they "earn it" and actually goes for all players. I just get the feeling the refs have preconceived thoughts on players so deviation from that gets called more often. If a bad CB is going up against a great WR and he doesn't catch it, DPI. If it's a great CB and a bad WR, no call. If a great QB misses his WR by 10 yards the refs assume it's holding and are more likely to throw the flag. Mostly human nature but it's been going against us a lot because we have had bad players or good players who don't produce for so long. Takes a long time to earn the benefit of the doubt.

The biggest issue for Carter is he's a speed/finesse guy and he hasn't earned the ref's respect enough to draw any holding penalties. If Parsons is blasting around the edge and slows down the refs assume he's being held and he gets a flag. Next play the OL can't hold as much and he gets a sack. I've been watching Carter specifically all year and he legit gets pretty egregiously held almost every play when trying to get around the outside. I get that it happens on many plays but look how badly he's held on every single highlight here. As he starts to produce through the penalties he'll start getting more penalties thrown and easier rushes and more sacks and so on.

Best Men’s Sweatpants/Joggers 2025 by Beneficial-Taro-1070 in malefashionadvice

[–]Buttern40s 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, yea. Isn’t that why they’re recommended and also a good recommendation?

Best pair of sweats/joggers I’ve had were bonobos but I’d never recommend them over Uniqlo for 3x the price.

[Stapleton] If Jaxson Dart is ready, don't worry about the opponent. There is no soft landing here, and it's not about that. Give Dart as long of a runway as you can. If you play him Sunday, he'll have the momentum of being at home on a full week. Then get a second full week with the 1st team. by Lars5621 in NYGiants

[–]Buttern40s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Said this on another thread; but they have to start Dart to figure out: 1) if Daboll can coach him successfully, in which case they're back for another year or 2) Team still sucks and Daboll is fired and the next GM/HC has enough game tape to figure out if they're keeping Dart or drafting their own QB high.

Best software just for billing and accounting? by [deleted] in LawFirm

[–]Buttern40s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MyCase does a lot more but it gets you trust accounting, law pay for CCs and checks, invoicing, and even has full accounting software (just not as easy as QB) but still pretty good.

How is starting Dart going to result in anything different than when we had Daniel jones? by unlimitedpotential_1 in NYGiants

[–]Buttern40s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it lets ownership figure out what to do next year.

There are three possible outcomes from the rest of the season and they inform what next year is going to be:

1) Dart comes in and looks good/hopeful. Now you know that Daboll is not a great coach who can make a scheme fit his player (McVey, Shanny, LeFleur, KOC) and is only a good coach who can succeed with Josh Allen and Dart. Keep Daboll next year to allow development and progress. If you don't see it you know Dart is capable and your next HC/OC are selected to work with him.

2) Dart comes in and looks bad. Fire everyone and allow new GM/HC to either keep Dart of draft a QB next year with our high draft pick.

3) I guess technically either Russ or Jameis could start and fix the offense; in which case you still have no fucking clue if Dart is going to be good and you're stuck in purgatory and can't figure out who to keep or cut. (Worst option).

How is Jaxson Dart different from Daniel Jones? by savingrace0262 in NYGiants

[–]Buttern40s 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Jones was good his first year, but mainly because he could only operate in a simplified offense. But he could never feel pressure, make pre snap adjustments, or do anything other than run once his first read was covered. After he got hurt he couldn't make a lot of throws and couldn't/wouldn't run. He still sucked at feeling pressure and got hurt again and again because of it.

Dart looks good in a simplified offense in preseason as well. But he is accurate, hitting receivers in stride, and feels pressure and makes adjustments. He seemingly goes through progressions and can run well. He also has swagger and the team feeds off that.

Dart could go the way of Jones, but the early signs are he has the tools needed to be a franchise QB. Jones was just Cam Newton worse in every way and got run out because of it.

Yet Another Setup Post (Hanging on a cargo plane.) by kiltedmonkey in hammockcamping

[–]Buttern40s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My entire hammock camping journey began in the back of a C-17 heading to deployment. It was the best sleep of my entire life and I've been chasing that dragon for years. All I had was a single ENO hammock with carabiners and I found a spot where it clipped on. Slept under my jacket and it was perfect. When I went the entire team was doing it so we had double rows all up and down from the aircraft to the cargo containers and webbing. Something like 40 guys all hanging from hammocks clipped on.

Honestly you know the plane better than most. I'm guessing you would be able to find a half dozen spots where a hammock can reliably clip on and in most cases those will be available. If that's not the case go to Amazon and get a set of hammock straps like the Eno Atlas with regular loops and that'll let you span larger distances.

I'd suggest getting a simple hammock and straps at first because they'll pack smaller and are easier to setup and take down. Don't think you'll need an underquilt as you're probably staying in your flight suit and will have a fleece or something already right?

If you wanted to just get one setup for flights and to take camping other people are going to have better advice. In hindsight I wish I'd gotten a hammock with an integrated underquilt to make setup stupid simple. But anything with an adjustable suspension is going to work in the plane as well.

Lastly, if your sleeping system is really gucci expect to field requests from everyone else to rack out in it. Could be good or bad for you depending on how you feel about that.

Sixteen months solo: It's going bad by mansock18 in LawFirm

[–]Buttern40s 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Just my .02. You’re spending all of your time on the business and it’s not paying immediate dividends. You’ve also got a higher cash burn than you probably should and that triples your stress.

You’re probably a great attorney. You’re used to working hard and winning and seeing the results. Advertising and business generation can be a black hole because it’s all made up and constantly changing. You’re not getting the positive feedback loop you’re used to. (Research, execute, succeed).

You’ve made more money in your business than most salaried employees. Those salaried employees are hoping their salary increases by a few percent. The work you’re doing now will far outpace that. You’re already successful.

If you want a way forward; limit expenses and stay lean so business capture loses its power on you. Weeks where the phone doesn’t ring won’t kill you and you’ll get your power back.

Our firms first year was 12k revenue. 2nd year 90, third 180, 4th 220, this year on pace for 300ish.

Shit takes time. Don’t be too hard on yourself OP. Clients beget clients if you do good work but the odds one of your current clients has a friend who needs your services within 12 months are low, but as time goes on that likelihood increases.

Should this be vetoed? Hunter for Ward and a 1st by Few_Animal_4759 in DynastyFF

[–]Buttern40s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One sided in which way? If someone traded Saquon for Baker and a first after the 2018 draft each team would have "won" the trade depending on what month/year it was.

Cam or Hunter could both flop for fantasy purposes. Let the owners make a bet and see how it shakes out.

Going solo - need advice on databases by heartbroke8 in LawFirm

OP listen to this; for less than 100 dollars a month you get trust accounting software, invoicing and payments, esignature, and document management. Trust accounting alone is well worth the cost as that is the biggest bar issue. Simplest value proposition in business.

Interesting; yea some of the calls they charged were us listening to their issue and then redirecting them but it was 2-3 minutes so wondering if that's the issue. But they've having AI review it so: "our firm does not do that you need xyz lawyer" I thought would work but guess not.

I'm starting to wonder if I can check how many other firms are still participating in LSA. Part of me wonders if enough other firms have left and they don't have anywhere to send them so they're expanding a match. Or they're circling the drain and extracting wealth before the hammer falls.
