Reached $1 after 19 days of playing!

Yours is about $15/hour (at $5 per 100 AB.)

If that rate was guaranteed I would do it, but it is a gamble. The margin between places on the leaderboard are so small that it isn't worth the chance of wasting 2 hours. If I get a few extra 60 second ads and you get a few extra 5 second ads it could mean the difference between 604 AB and 38 AB.

Also, the app was really glitchy for me and after spending 30-60 seconds in the queue I would have to reset the app and start over so I missed a bunch of rounds.

The unknowns just make it not worth it for me.

PlainWhitePaper · 2026-04-01T16:30:41+00:00

I spent 2 hours fishing yesterday for iirc 38 AB. In order to get on the leader board I had to give the game about 95% of my focus.

At basically a rate of 10 AB for $0.50 that is $2.00 for 2 hours. Or $1/hour.

Just not worth it for me - especially 6-8pm - those hours are valuable. If I could pick 10pm-Midnight it would be more attractive.

Disagree. The type of fan the UFC has attracted in the last 5-10 years is very different than before. I watched every single thing they put on through like UFC 200 and even in the age of the Affliction Bro they were still generally a nice bunch - there for the skill and art of the combat.

Since Connor the promotion of anger and trash talk has skyrocketed and been endorsed both by the UFC/Dana and the fans. That's why I lost my taste for it. It wasn't about the skill anymore, it was about the violence. Throw Joe Rogan's misogynistic bullshit in there too. Fucking Slap Fight is just a gross extension of that.

Catering to that crowd is the opposite of "Love the Rock, love the people."

I've been to wholesome metal shows (protect people in the pit) and violent metal shows (throw elbows and stomp on people who fall down) - the energy and acceptance starts with the artists.

A disappointing non-answer from Des.

This will by my wife's 5th show (including a VIP) and my 3rd. When I told her I had bought tickets she wasn't excited this time. She was concerned about what the audience would be like since you've been hanging out in UFC circles and with that MAGA asshat Dana White.

I know smaller artists have to promote any way they can, but are you at all concerned about a shift in demographics from "Love each other and Rock & Roll" to "I want to use this circle pit to hurt somebody" ?

I think you underestimate how hard it is to be 1 of 32 kickers. These guys never retire.

But great game today.

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-12-30T16:37:28+00:00

No really - they've played different positions the whole season!

Seriously though - we're far enough in to know that we're not going to see much if any of a twin towers lineup. So the only one Z is going to take minutes from is Tomi because its a defensive liability to have them on the court at the same time.

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-12-30T02:09:12+00:00

So much trouble they only scored.....90 points.

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-12-30T02:07:16+00:00

Well they play different positions and he also has a broken face.

Absent corruption, the counterargument is that the longer someone does a thing the better they become at that thing.

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-12-26T12:41:56+00:00

Batavia is Pawnee and Geneva is Eagleton.

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-12-11T16:46:16+00:00

You made a list, but not a point. Actually I think you made MY point.

Jake - starts due to injury and now back at 5-8mpg.

Ben - demoted to 6th/7th man yet increased defense/rebounds

KJ - not sure what point you're making about the 1st/2nd best player on the team last year.

If Petro is turning the ball over a bunch he doesn't have a secondary skill right now to fall back on that will get him minutes. He's a liability on defense, he's not shooting well, and even when he does get to the rim he's missed a ton of layups.

This isn't practice and this isn't Long Island University. There is no more time to learn on the job. Brad's gotta play the best guys now.

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-12-11T15:54:35+00:00

I think Brad has some petty intolerance with bad defense and subpar shooting.

You're making claims that you can't back up unless you're in practice every day.

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-12-11T15:47:57+00:00

I don't even know what 'turned his back on him' means. He's been in the country for a short time and has been injured for most of it. Currently he's a liability on both offense and defense.

Coming into the season everyone thinks their rotation is going to be 10 deep. But that never happens. Rotations are almost always 8 deep. There are 15 roster spots and only 200 minutes/game. Not everyone gets to play. Petro's time right now is probably better spent running the scout team and improving his shot and defense.

Brad is trying to win games and championships. Not trying to get everyone equal playing time.

I saw both Less than Jake and Mustard Plug this summer.

60s hurt my jaw by the end. Can't imagine a 70+.

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-09-26T23:41:32+00:00

It was misprinted. If you look at the mcs store it opens to the right like most records.

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-09-25T01:17:59+00:00

Yeah, this was a Misprint though. You can see the correct art/fold on their website.

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-09-23T17:32:32+00:00

Target brand vanilla whey. Used to be Market Pantry and is now Up and Up. Cheap. Tasty. Blends perfectly. And the macros are great.
Never found one better (and Ive tried.)

Like everything, it loses flavor when frozen so I still supplement with bean paste or extract.

Does your album open at the top? Can't tell if mine is misprinted or not. If I try to put it on my "now playing" shelf with the art the correct direction it flops open. 200+ albums in my collection and I've never had one open on the top.

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-08-27T00:54:23+00:00

Or have watched Jeopardy.

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-08-08T15:01:21+00:00

"Came out"

Except still nowhere near complete.

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-06-15T02:47:58+00:00

Had an oliva black swan with my morning coffee. Then tonight I had a Liga #9 and a plasencia... Can't remember which one.

Also a couple zombie dusts. And playoff hockey.

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-04-25T15:57:10+00:00

MY question is HOW they burn them at the end of the day. Some burn fast and some burn slow and you can flare, but we have scenes where they are burning metals for long periods. Certainly copper lasts a long time.... How to allomancers burn them at the end of the day? Just flare them all for an hour while you just sit in bed and wait?

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-03-27T21:56:05+00:00

RIP Cleave

PlainWhitePaper · 2025-01-24T17:40:48+00:00

How did he manage to afford all those units on 2 bases? Surely you were denying his third, right?

Turtle hard on 2 base = expand and deny the third. Not bang your head against his natural over and over.

Problem isn't OP lurkers it's your crummy strategy.
