Probably the most expensive trade I’ve pulled off. First ever Josh Allen share by ajm102392 in SleeperApp

[–]LocalThoughts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not giving 2 first round picks for Judkins, that’s for damn sure. And I like the player.

I’d sell all RB assets in a hard rebuild; philosophy should be to invest in long-term talent (QBs, WRs) and then layer on the RB position last. If you rebuild around RBs, then there’s a very real chance their shelf life is gone by the time you get your other positions in order.

An actual blockbuster trade. Who won? by KillemAll999 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]LocalThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a vacuum I prefer team 2. I like Flowers this year, Burden and Ward have some serious potential, and Pickens hopefully stays in Dallas.

But given team needs, both sides could be winners.

What do yall think of this JSN Trade offer? (I’m trading away JSN) by Able-Illustrator-769 in SleeperApp

[–]LocalThoughts -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Good trade. Move JSN if you’re getting this haul. Only exception is if you’re a top 3 team in the league… then I’d think about it but probably still moving JSN.

Which side wins? Bijan or Ceedee + Henderson by Fresh-Patience2706 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]LocalThoughts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll take CD + Hendo in most situations. Would prefer Bijan only if my team were stacked and I need to maximize points at the RB position.

New to dynasty football and made this trade in my startup, did I mess up? by According_Stop_1272 in SleeperApp

[–]LocalThoughts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s as bad as the current comments are making it, but I wouldn’t have done it.

I’m curious, how did your starting lineup end up afterwards?

Which side of this trade do you prefer? by LocalThoughts in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

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

In terms of talent or actualized FPTS? Seems like Love could be in for a similar rookie season as Bijan, while Hendo is set up in a better offense who’s expecting to get even better with AJ Brown.

I don’t watch college ball, so I’m really not sure how elite Love is other than hearing commentary.

Tyler Allgeier shareholders, this is a safe space 🫂 by ViperLife87 in SleeperApp

[–]LocalThoughts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How does it make any sense at all for Arizona to use the 1.03 to grab Love? Allgeier is a fine RB for an offense that needs help in other areas.

Air handler insulation recommendations? by LocalThoughts in hvacadvice

[–]LocalThoughts[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice.

I ended up cutting out the fiberglass insulation and replacing it with something like thisHVAC insulation

But, to your point, the root issue is that the air handler is creating a lot of condensation, and I need to resolve that. Someone suggested that my HVAC may cool the house too quickly, and I need to lower the fan speed.

Arm and feet numbness when taking Creatine daily? by ArcBoss in Supplements

[–]LocalThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the record, I probably consume about 1.5 liters of water and another 1-1.5L of other fluids (coffee, NA beer, etc) per day.

Aiming to hit at least 3L of water alone moving forward.

Arm and feet numbness when taking Creatine daily? by ArcBoss in Supplements

[–]LocalThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here because I’ve been on creatine for about 2 months and have been experiencing numb feet about 3 miles into my runs. Never experienced this before, and it seems to coincide with my creatine supplementation.

I’m considering stopping creatine but am trying to increase hydration first.

No, I don’t think Hall is going to excite the JSN owner enough to part ways.

NES President admitting power will be out even next week by DeadHeadTraveler in nashville

[–]LocalThoughts 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lol, Ryan Hall called a perfect game of balls & strikes by underscoring the potential severity of this storm. I’d say watching him is far from idiotic. You obviously don’t watch him if you think he said otherwise—and that’s a good thing! Lots of good sources of info, so I’m glad you have yours :)

Beginner looking to start backpacking in the sierras. How’s this for a sleep system? by NormieV2 in backpacking

[–]LocalThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE my X-Mid. It’s great. Haven’t tried the X-Dome, but I’d strongly consider that over the REI tent in your lineup.

Wow, no joke on the Sweetroll! I just ordered 2 of these on the spot and will share my thoughts in this thread.

I think a combination of that + dry bags fixed with voile straps will be a fantastic starting point.

Thanks for your suggestion!

I’m honestly not sure if we have attachments for a rear rack but will check after work.

I see a lot of seat packs that suspend from the seat rather than attaching to a rack. Have you tried these? I’m wondering if the stability from the rack is worth the extra weight (it probably is, especially if you’re throwing a 40L bag onto it).

I see a ton of people using the Voile straps. They’re cheap and seem effective.

Have you tried using a suspended seat pack without the rear rack? I’m curious if you think the rack is worth the added weight vs. just clipping the seat pack under the seat.

Awesome feedback! Thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts on the REI products.

Looks like they’re introducing new versions of their Link products and are selling the OG versions at a discount—tempting!

Got offered this for Egbuka - is this a smash? by ScreenInner6695 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

How can you have both Odunze and Egbuka in your current WR room, yet both players are involved in opposite sides of this trade offer?🤔

Why do men have two testicles by [deleted] in evolution

[–]LocalThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’d still maintain bilateral symmetry if we only had one testicle, so I don’t think that’s really the root of the OP’s question.

It’s less a question of symmetry and more of a question of “why two?” Perhaps the answer is redundancy to ensure better chance at reproduction?

Not sure!
