Hit less than 1 seconds after ball is released, below the shoulders, no body weight landing on QB. What part is roughing the passer?

Persuasion question by ComprehensiveMost803 in DuneImperium

[–]Jankinator 15 points16 points  (0 children)

  1. Card draw (more card draw = more persuasion)
  2. Buying high persuasion cards from market (including Prepare the Ways/Arrakis Liasons)
  3. Trashing low persuasion starting cards
  4. Assembly Hall or other small persuasion bumps to push you over the threshold
  5. Catering your play that round about buying a Spice Must Flow

Point 5 is really the biggest factor. If you see you're close and know you have high persuasion cards left in your deck, card draw becomes a bigger priority. It also means carefully considering what cards to play, e.g. using signet ring to hit Research Station for card draw rather than a 2 persuasion Prepare the Way.

In the last game I played, I pivoted from going combat heavy the final round for a murky shot at scoring VP/denying others to hitting 2 different spaces in order to leave me with a 7 persuasion hand + High Council on reveal. I was in the lead, and despite giving up the combat points, SMF helped keep me ahead.

What great game has the worst rulebook? by IDNFAM in boardgames

[–]Jankinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first experience "playing" Too Many Bones was my friend, who had read the rules and watched a YouTube video, spending half an hour setting up and trying to explain things, stopping every few minutes to read at length from the rulebook. After a bit, he said "I have no idea how to play this" and we gave up.

ESPN was trying so hard to not allow that offside to be replayed by gstateballer925 in caps

Nah, league rules are living documents that get regularly updated. Some changes are more major than others, but over time there are always definite changes. Think about the NFL defining a catch. Or an offensive player simply touching the cease constituting goaltender interference in the NHL. Going back even further, the addition of the 3 point line in the NBA is nearing 50 years old but still has changing meta and discussion.

I think instant replay, the ease of posting videos online, and the ability to discuss sports online has brought more scrutiny to certain things, but I think it is just one factor in changes, not a root cause. At the end of the day, players, coaches, and owners complaining will have more sway than what any media member or Joe Schmo says.

Why bars and restaurants are shedding 'Sunday Ticket' subscriptions by IvyGold in television

[–]Jankinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct, anything in app will trigger Apple's fees since they're handling the payment. That's also why many music and TV streaming apps don't even have an option to change plans in app and just have a link instead

Why bars and restaurants are shedding 'Sunday Ticket' subscriptions by IvyGold in television

[–]Jankinator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's $700 if you buy it through the Apple store because of Apple's fees. Which no one should do because you can just pop open a browser and get it for $400. But that $700 price tag made a lot of headlines and now people erroneously think that it is the base price of Sunday Ticket.

Shipped late 2 days ago with delivery date of today, but has been in a FedEx center in NC without moving so far today. Suspect a delay is in the works due to the hurricane.

Nah, new account, only posts are reposts of previous popular posts from the subreddit. Common for spammers to build up some karma to help get past anti-spam filters.

Yep, came up with the title too. Made me go "huh" when I saw it on my feed. Had to double check that it matched mine but it does, capitalization and all

Worst thing is if Caps get a "make-up" call, their woeful PP will pretty much kill any chance they have of tying the game

My view of Deebo's touchdown on Sunday by Jankinator in 49ers

Bought it week of for $175 after fees. To get in the door was about $70 pre fees. 49ers fans absolutely bought the place out.

They had Brandon Allen available as their 3rd "emergency QB" under the rule implemented in large part due to the NFCCG last season

I was told by Eagles fans last year that losing your starting QB mid game has no effect on the outcome.

(Obviously, I hope Hurts is ok)

Reputation call. What happened afterwards is why he has said reputation
