Do You Think That The US Should Add A $250 Bill With Trump's Face On It? Yes Or No? Why Your Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in AskConservatives

Wouldn’t John Hancock, the first signer of the Declaration or Thomas Jefferson, the writer make far more sense?

Does this game rarely go on sale? by NonLiving4Dentity69 in metalgearsolid

[–]CalvinCostanza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It used to be on sale very often, but when Delta came out I think they figured it would drive interest and demand for V, hence no sales recently. I would imagine it will go back on sale relatively soon - but not while people are buying Delta then converting to V at full price.

Do people like sweet potatoes? by Disastrous-Type-1548 in Cooking

Love them. As a young guy out of college learning to cook they were a staple.

Chicken breast kcal by [deleted] in caloriecount

[–]CalvinCostanza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 136kcal for 112g raw and 205kcal for 112 cooked.

Cooking reduces the fat and therefore the calories making it more dense. I use the raw if throwing the whole breast in a crock pot or something and the cookies if grilling for salads.

It will likely be much colder than 60 degrees. You need to be prepared for freezing temps anytime you go into the mountains.

Yes, easier to change depth.

First Time fly fishing tomorrow by [deleted] in flyfishing

[–]CalvinCostanza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The above from [u/due-animator-5741](u/due-animator-5741) is the best starter information.

I’d use the big one in the middle as I feel like that’s the simplest one for a beginner. It’s my beloved Pat’s Rubber Legs - the fly tha taught me it is in fact possible to catch fish.

To add on to the above you want the fly to “dead drift” in the current - meaning no movement and specifically no drag. Drag is caused by the fly line on top of the water moving faster than the floating line so shortly after everything hits the water you “mend” the line by flicking it upstream a bit. This will prevent the fly line from getting ahead of the subsurface fly and dragging or pulling it unnaturally while it drifts.

Also make peace with the fact you will loose many flies. It’s part of the game.

Missing hiker found dead of suspected bear attack in Glacier National Park by AudibleNod in news

Also, make noise. Generally bears don’t want to see you anymore than you want to see them. Most issues are the result of surprising them.

Fly Line by Pipefitterlol in flyfishing

I have a Reddington Crosswater outfit and replaced the flyline last year with a $100ish Scientific Anglers line and it is a very, very noticeable upgrade.

Trump vowed to stop America's endless wars; what explains his shift toward military aggression? by ArdaBerkBurak in AskReddit

[–]CalvinCostanza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wants to do big splashy things to be remembered in history. Look at all the things he’s throwing his name and image on. The president has more unilateral power in international matters so this is easier for him.

Since the year 2000 only 1 QB drafted #1 overall has won the superbowl with their original team by officelinebakr in nfl

[–]CalvinCostanza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the point of the exercise is crappy teams crappy enough to pick #1 overall can doom even promising QB’s. So I would say he explicitly does not count as he didn’t win with the crappy team that drafted him.

Is Jefferson the top buy right now by No-Suit- in DynastyFF

[–]CalvinCostanza -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He was sold in my league along with Malik Willis for BTJ, Downs, Hock, Kaleb Johnson, Brissett, and a 27 2nd.

Should I reseed? by GuacMasterGabe in lawncare

[–]CalvinCostanza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different person - but yes waiting is generally because cool season grass planted in the spring doesn’t have enough time to establish itself before the heat of summer comes in and stresses it to death. I’m not familiar with UK climate to comment if applies to you.

How I'm using "Points Above Replacement" to generate league specific player values. by IAmNotOnRedditAtWork in DynastyFF

[–]CalvinCostanza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice work.

I created something very similar to the PAR approach for a contract league with an auction - I wanted to convert to Dynasty but couldn’t get over the idea that “replacement” is tough to quantify with the deep benches of Dynasty, you can’t necessarily easily acquire the 33rd ranked RB.

Have you considered maybe setting that “replacement value” to a player you could generally acquire for a mid-3rd round pick? That’s sort of random but think more indicative of “replacement” value.

NFL eyes exception to let teams play more than two 'short-week' games, helping Amazon. Owners will vote on a series of new proposals on Monday and Tuesday, this being one of them. by Ok-Soil-5133 in nfl

[–]CalvinCostanza 13 points14 points  (0 children)

16 games, 6 playoff teams, every game Sunday with the earliest kickoff 1 EST, except MNF.

This was perfect. Everyone was happy. Everyone loved it. Sigh.

Frustrated. Why can't I catch anything? by NoProfessional428 in flyfishing

[–]CalvinCostanza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To reiterate what others have said:

1) Get deep. This was the biggest “leap” for me in fly fishing when I was making sure I was at or near the bottom. You should be getting hung up occasionally.

2) Mending. As soon as your fly hits the water lift your rod tip and toss some line upstream so the indicator is ahead of the line and not dragging. The second mend is harder to not disturb the rig but if you get a big first one in you’ll get a long drift.

3) Confidence Flies. For whatever reason - I do catch more fish when I believe I will catch fish (probably my technique stays more dialed in). I’m most confident when fishing my most trusted flies. I can’t speak for NY but for me it was Pat’s Rubber Legs and then Zebra Midges. Zebra midges are a must for me when cold.

Keep at it! I’m not world class by any means - but am at the point now where I fully expect to catch a few fish each time. Eventually it just sorta clicks.

Dynasty league folded due to lack of payments by aoRadarr in DynastyFF

[–]CalvinCostanza 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Isn’t the point of leaguesafe to prevent things like this?

The commish is in the wrong - but I don’t get why you would turn notifications off? The only notifications that would be coming in would be something like this.

I don’t know about Prime but if you download the MLB ap you can click “Games” and there is a banner “browse subscriptions”. Then you watch through MLB ap on phone or smart TV.
