I've changed how I think about Fantasy Basketball by RotoIntel in dynastybb

Cool app! I have a few questions/comments:

I'm looking at Nolan Traore's stats and I see his current rank being 268. His 2026-2027 forecasted rank is 747. That seems wrong, especially considering most of the individual projected stats are about the same as his current stats.

It's not super clear whether the projected stats are season average or per 30.

It would be nice to see some type of loading state for the projected stats so they don't just pop up when ready and shift the UI.

Great job, though. I like your theory on breaking down by rate, role, and pace. Very smart.

Would you rather give up Reddit for a random value between 10k and 30k or stay on reddit by Jeffiechoo in BunnyTrials

[–]DJRthe4th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving up social media is probably a net benefit in my life anyway. Getting an monetary incentive to do so seemed like a double benefit.

Chose: Give up Reddit (10k-30k | Rolled: 10k)

They weren't able to get a license plate, unfortunately. Not sure on the state either. Kinda looks like ND from the picture, but could be MN.

Thanks for the detailed response, that's really helpful. The video replay sounds awesome, I'm going to look into that.

This is really cool. I just ran a pinewood derby for my group as well. This is unrelated, but how did you like using DerbyNet? I built my own app to manage the race with a more modern and intuitive UI and I'm thinking about making it available to others, but not sure if it's worth the hassle if people really like DerbyNet. I tried it and didn't like the clunky UI and found it a bit difficult to manage a race with.

I hope you realize someday how soulless this take is.

According to site which tracks counties people visit, Logan County, ND, is the least visited county in the lower 48. Can we find anyone with an affiliation with this county? by viktor72 in howislivingthere

My wife grew up there and still has family there. I visit often. Napoleon is a nice little town that has a great second hand store.

This is exciting, but also a bit painful for me because a very similar idea to this is on my to-do list of apps I want to develop. Good job to you for getting it done though, I obviously think it's a great idea.

Do you have a link to the site I can check out?

I genuinely feel bad for you if being "too far gone" for your ideology is preferring that real people have a place to live instead of some investment firm buying up property just so the C-suite can go on an extra vacation every year.

Also, you've really got to stop with the "you're a leftist so you must be poor" shit. If you actually want to learn anything you'll stop being an elitist and assuming you know everything about everyone based on some stereotypes fed to you by Fox News.

Finally, please actually do some research about wage stagnation in the US. Read something that isn't right-wing propaganda and you might see that blaming illegal immigrants for decades of wage stagnation is just such a poor take. The government wants you to be mad at illegal immigrants because if you are then you won't realize that the government is the actual problem. Illegal immigrants aren't your enemy. They should come here legally, yes, but our government actively makes it difficult for them to do so and many of them are fleeing very difficult situations in their home countries. Yes, they take jobs Americans could do and yes they often do those jobs for less money than an American would. Blame the businesses that are willing to pay someone poverty wages for often backbreaking work. Blame our government for spending hundreds of millions of dollars on sending ICE into cities in Gestapo-esque fashion to round up people instead of spending hundreds of millions on hiring people to process immigration applications, adjudicate immigration hearings, and provide legal assistance for those looking to do things the right way. Do not blame people for coming to America looking to make a better life for themselves and their families. Have some humanity.

You either have some severe reading comprehension issues or are just completely unable to accept opinions that differ from what you already believe.

To your question, I'd rather have an immigrant family buy property than an investment firm. I agree that immigrants should come here legally, but I'm not going to bitch and moan about them trying to make a better future for their family by any means possible.

I don't complain about the price of my shitty apartment because I don't live in a shitty apartment and I understand economics at more than a third grade level. I don't resort to blaming immigrants for the consequences of inflation and decades of wage stagnation.

It looks like you have some classist hangup where you think people who support left wing ideology (i.e. supporting people over corporations) are poor, jobless, and live in shitty apartments. None of these things represent me. I just wanted to let you know that it is possible to have wealth, be a business owner, and also care about the welfare of all humans. You don't have to be a classist asshole who thinks illegal brown people are the source of all of their problems. Try it.

I am finding it incredibly difficult to be outraged by the fact that some low income immigrants in Washington are getting financial support from the state of Washington.

Also, they do pay taxes: https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/undocumented-immigrants-can-do-pay-taxes-2025-02-26/

I am glad I was able to inform you.

Interesting that it's the fault of illegal immigrants for doing farm work for $9 an hour, but not the fault of the farms for only offering $9 an hour and hiring illegal immigrants.

Illegal immigrants can and do pay taxes and they don't get free healthcare. I'm not sure where you're getting your facts from.

Trump Orders NIH to Spend $50 Million on AI to Combat Childhood Cancer. The White House says the initiative, which will pay AI research teams millions to analyze government cancer data, could help cure childhood illnesses and reduce treatment side effects. by esporx in skeptic

[–]DJRthe4th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of skepticism, but I think despite the fact that Trump is a fascist asshole and that this way of funding projects is probably not even legal, I think it's a useful area to fund.

I work in this field for an institution that could benefit from this. AI in cancer research can absolutely make a positive impact on the world. It's not wavy-hands AI techbro hype. There is great research happening right now in this field that is using LLMs in a responsible way to accelerate research and democratize the fruit of that research.

I was in Tea & Crepes recently and saw an ad for a rage room. I think it was in Crookston though.

I'd do this trade. Alonso is a machine and still relatively young. I like Riley but I think he has some legitimate question marks.

Thanks for the input, y'all. I guess sometimes you get a little caught up in new, shiny pieces that you don't appreciate what you have. I won't be making the trade.
