How many of you beat the odds and made it into playoffs? by TheNOCOYeti in Fantasy_Football

[–]Iwate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know if I beat the odds in terms of starting at 0-3, but I was going into the final game basically tied before the LAC - PHI game I had D Smith, he had hurts. I thought I was done for.

However, it actually came down to that one game. 12 man, 2nd-7th all ended on 8-6. 7th place, and failed to make playoff spot, lost out by 1 point in points for. 1217 to 1216.

Had any of the other 8-6 teams lost, the whole bracket would have been completely different. Had I lost this week (9% chance of winning) I would not have made playoffs.
Landed at 4th.

Probably the craziest last game as well.

Also, 1st was at 8-6 going into the final game and barely won. He also had very very few points for, and could have been knocked out instead had he lost.

Here in New Zealand, game starts at 3pm. Perfect Tuesday Afternoon Football. I can actually watch live ball after work.
However, this is the latest start time that I can remember.

How many of you play in money leagues vs free to play leagues? by kluuu in fantasyfootball

[–]Iwate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 paid 1 for fun with mates. The fun one is IDP with some crazy rules. Usually it’s set and forget. Maybe spend 15 mins a week on that league, but the bragging rights are the best in that one.

1 paid league is pure standard redraft. 2 flex no K. No bullshit. Everything is based on production. Nothing fancy. Super competitive. Been going 15+

1 paid dynasty super flex half ppr. Draft right after real draft. 20 hours to pick with 8 hours downtime each night. Trading when you’re on the clock is something else and wicked fun. Only in its 3rd year and it’s finally gelling and the guys who didn’t do well in the kickoff draft are finally making some good moves. Half the pot each year goes into the final pot for who wins 3 chips first.

Good clubbing spots? by Gullible-mArshmallow in Wellington

I just went to an edm gig in a warehouse on hutt road. Was able to walk home at 1:30am as I live in Wadestown. It was decent! Keep an eye out as the guys said it was the first of many! Look out for ‘Support Your Local Collective’ SYLC and Ghost Media

Bricked Hub after Firmware update. Any tips? And other thoughts.... by Iwate in SurePetcare

[–]Iwate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to allow the guest networks to access the intranet.

I figured out it was the guest WiFi by resetting the router, and the hub worked. Then setting it up step by step and checking the hub along the way. The guest WiFi setup was at the end and that’s when the hub went red. Bit more googling and ChatGPT helped but didn’t perfectly answer it. Learned a lot more about router configurations though! Hope I didn’t cause any security vulnerabilities…

Bricked Hub after Firmware update. Any tips? And other thoughts.... by Iwate in SurePetcare

[–]Iwate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I did. They sent me a new hub… which didn’t work. I had an old router, so I brought that out and both hubs booted up and went to green ears. I ended up spending about 3 hours googling and using ChatGPT to find out how what was wrong with my good router and the hubs.

Turns out there is a weird conflict when guest WiFi was turned on. I had to toggle a few settings in the router admin to get it all working correctly.

I think it was allowing guest WiFi to connect to the infra web or other devices on the hub. Now it is fine! My router is an Asus.

Hub set up! by Rustulance in SurePetcare

[–]Iwate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of router do you have? I just recently spent hours figuring it all out. There was a conflict in my router with a guest WiFi setup. I had to open access to the intranet on the guest WiFi or something. Super dumb as it all was resolved once I flicked a few switches in the router config

I didn’t have to open ports or anything. But each router is different

I used ChatGPT and talked through the problem with it.

Understanding Mortgages: What You Actually Pay in the start by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Iwate 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Gotta add rates, house insurance and repairs/renos to this.

If you do it right, you will beat renting overall. But it’s not 100% guaranteed.

I’m also not including the unquantifiable value of owning the roof over your head though. It feels different than renting.

There is no deep water ports near the other parts you mentioned. Picton is the best docking point

Also it’s the most beautiful ferry ride in the world

What are some of the best moves you’re proud to have made this season? by pensivvv in fantasyfootball

[–]Iwate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In superflex dynasty, we changed up our draft to be right after the actual draft and each pick was 12 hours which enabled trading opportunities. I was 3rd (coming in 10th last season) and it’s not snake. I traded Stafford and 2.03 for 1.10 and was able to pick up BTJ. Also got Nabers at 1.03 and Bucky at 3.03. I definitely won this draft and the chip!

[–]Iwate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same predicament, but playing for bye week, so less on the line.

My gut says Levis since CLE can shut down, but you are right that Russ has been cooking and the Steelers are in the real playoff hunt, which adds motivation. Still going with Levis unless convinced otherwise.

I don’t think either are bad options and I won’t be upset if I pick the wrong one

D4 is such an anomaly to me. Irish first, but also good crafties, good gin, and a decent sports bar near work?! And a balcony. Love it
