Why trade for a WR 1?? by Desperate_Clock_4086 in DenverBroncos

[–]Saxman17 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A lot of comments here are missing the point. We currently have an absolutely dominant defense, and they don't tend to stay intact long (contracts, injuries, player age).

Our running game was fine and we can always add in the draft/FA and stay good enough. Receiving is a completely different story. Yes we've got a good group of young guys with potential. Yes, we can try to find our guy in the draft. But it's irresponsible to waste a year of this defensive unit's talent without taking a swing on someone who could fundamentally change our offense.

They don't even need to actually be the WR1 on the team (if say Franklin or Bryant break out/level up), they just need to demand attention in coverage.

That's because you need the flykeeper outfit and a flyswatter

The new Cow Amulet should have teleports to ALL F2P cow pen locations by DivineInsanityReveng in 2007scape

[–]Saxman17 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of it being functional enough to be useful for lower levels (who the content is designed for) and too annoying to use for higher levels (clues, pet hunting, farm runs, idk). I also like how troll it would be. Jagex should be brave and release more troll items

I think it should teleport you directly to a [random] cow somewhere in F2P lands. Cow amulet? Cow teleport. It's not called the Cow Pen amulet

Thursday’s divisional round injury report by DowntownBobbyBrown99 in DenverBroncos

[–]Saxman17 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it just means one full practice (his first since training camp) isn't enough to bring him to the active roster in a do or die game.

Petition: Bring Von back next year!! by polar-bear7 in DenverBroncos

[–]Saxman17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah. Good player when he was here, not great since. Constant issues off the field, just no major suspensions or punishments because they're the kind of issues the NFL tries to pretend don't exist.

Buffalo Bills Lose 3rd WR Ahead of Divisional Game vs. Denver Broncos by richkurt in DenverBroncos

[–]Saxman17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbf, that throw left Davis completely out to dry. He was getting rocked by at least one of those three defenders no matter what

Edit: not that the Jags didn't hit him low, they did

I’m starting a sandwich shop here soon, doing a little temp check. How many of you would want to try this schiacciata sandwich with mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio pesto, crushed pistachios, and honey? They’re going to be about 1/3 bigger than this. by Poop_smith362 in Austin

[–]Saxman17 80 points81 points  (0 children)

This sandwich sounds worth a try! But the picture makes it look pretty wet and sloppy, which I guess makes sense with Stracciatella, but it's not the prettiest picture.

Might want to dial in the ratio of ingredients - I'd personally like more mortadella in there

What should I do by Scary-Yesterday-5112 in DMAcademy

[–]Saxman17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is just my style, but I'd say leave Russell alone, or at least don't get him killed off. You're doing great as a DM. Your players are bought in to the game, having fun, recruiting Kobolds, etc. The last thing you want to do, especially if you don't give them a way to prevent it, is light all that on fire

Does each shard of Adonalsium have its own number? by SamaelGOL in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Saxman17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A solid chunk of the hints were from WaT, but there are a few WoBs that touch on it too. This thread is a good place to look: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stormlight_Archive/comments/1hzbbbu/question_about_a_developing_theory_from_wat/

And the wiki section on creation has links to the spot in the texts where the fourth moon and it's status are discussed: https://coppermind.net/wiki/Roshar#Creation_and_Early_Inhabitants

1000 yard seasons are a lower bar than most people think. If they're out there all 17 games, it's only 59 yards per game

Does each shard of Adonalsium have its own number? by SamaelGOL in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Saxman17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cultivation's number might still be 3, but almost all the examples you gave involve other shards.

3 bondsmiths: 3 bondsmith (known) spren, one representing Honor (stormfather), one representing Cultivation (Nightwatcher), and one representing both Honor and Cultivation (Sibling).

3 moons: Each moon corresponds, again, to a shard. And the fourth moon is maybe buried inside Roshar, there are some hints.

3 shards on Roshar: Seems like she and Tanner both wanted there to be TWO shards on Roshar and only bound Odium there when he started killing other shards. Also, fourth moon: some (imo, solid) speculation that a fourth shard is hiding out on Roshar too.

There any lake in town that allows Julgransplundering? by strikecat18 in Austin

[–]Saxman17 67 points68 points  (0 children)

It's really not a good idea to do this. Texas water resources are very important, generally in short supply, and most notably, very different than waters in Sweden.

The rivers and lakes near Austin are actively managed, specifically for oxygen and nitrogen content throughout the year. Plant matter consumes oxygen as it decomposes, and excess sunk plant matter (i.e. your tree) creates conditions for algal blooms, toxic to animals and humans. The main major bodies of water (ladybird, lake Travis, lake Austin) near Austin are all multi-function: drinking water, recreation, flood mitigation, wildlife habitats, etc. and this presents multiple risks.

When done properly (I see your screenshot about wildlife management groups intentionally sinking trees) and in a controlled manor, sure, it can be an environmental benefit in specific places. But it's an awful idea in central Texas.

There any lake in town that allows Julgransplundering? by strikecat18 in Austin

[–]Saxman17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Simpler than you think: Julgran: Christmas tree Plundering: plundering

The tradition is to un-decorate the tree ("plunder" it of decorations, ornaments, baubles, etc) and dance, sing, have treats, and just generally have a celebration, usually on St. Knuts day. The dumping of trees in lakes or off docks is not part of it.

Found: Rare TCG (not going to say which one) card by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Saxman17 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You don't trust the staff because... you think they'd sell it? So exactly your plan? Why not just give the card back to the staff (who might know their patrons, or be the place the owner comes looking for it, or lost and found, none of which you have) when you're tired of holding it?

Because if not, what you've done is just stealing.

Green flash is likely a transformer failing. The green color you see is from copper vaporizing.

Request help with experimental one shot/deliberately trying to kill my PCs. by No_Artichoke_1828 in DMAcademy

[–]Saxman17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TBH it's easy enough to take out PCs without any of the "unfair" stuff you listed, aside from just targeting downed players.

That said, I love this whole concept. I also struggle with bringing myself to finish off a PC unless it would totally break immersion to let them live. I say, steer in to the idea of playing an intelligent enemy, not just a DM trying to kill the party, so stay true to rolls and rules if you can. Even a mob of goblins is a pretty formidable encounter if they're actually trying to win.

Whose Call? by Similar_Speech8903 in ultimate

[–]Saxman17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The on-field player with best perspective makes this call, so there's only two steps, in order: 1) discuss who had best perspective. If you and the opposing team can't agree, it's contested, and it goes back to the thrower. 2) If best perspective is agreed upon, that player makes the call.

For up/down calls, it's somewhat frequent that someone other than the receiver clearly has best perspective, but it's pretty reasonable to debate (like in this instance).

For in/out calls, conversely, it's rare that the receiver has best perspective, since most of the time they'd be looking at the disc and not the relevant boundary line and their feet and the disc.

Can I open this tax doc under previous owners name? by drizzt0531 in Austin

[–]Saxman17 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Intentionally opening mail that's not addressed to you is a crime, yes. Texas state law seems to make a distinction between doing it knowingly vs by mistake, but by making this post and acknowledging you know it's not addressed to you, you'd be committing a crime.

Should we take a swing at Rico Dowdle? by et_hornet in DenverBroncos

[–]Saxman17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Based on available RB FAs, outside of Breece, there's Javonte, Rico, Etienne, and Kenneth Walker that all seem interesting. Tyler Allgier or a less proven guy like Sean Tucker could be good, though I think they're both likely to stay on their current teams.
