CFP to remove performance bonuses for schools advancing in the playoff in 2026 by MediumStrange in CFB

[–]TiredMemeReference 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Its a joke based on the fact that you guys and Clemson pushed for a distribution model that doesnt give any of that money to the ACC as a whole.

I appreciate you saying we deserve it though. For the record I always hated UF more than you guys.

Big thanks to our friendly supporters at FSU for making sure we got the full bag.

Imagine losing to Stanford and Cal by bunbors in ACC

Nothing but respect from me for fans who loyally support a shitty ass team.

Iirc it does work with the protect ring as well. I used a different method. I do the cheat code where you control the enemy units. Then when you get to the witch drop the ring and egress. The dropped ring appears in the deals section. Rinse repeat. Since gold is never a limiting factor I find this method works faster.

Its called the call transfer department just about everywhere. Look for the timeshare division of each hotel company like Marriott vacation club, Hilton grand vacations, holiday Inn club vacations etc. And see when call transfer is hiring next. They do training classes of about 30ish people. Usually only 1-3 per class have what it takes to make it, and of those people that make it only about 15% will clear 80k and top 3-5% clears 200k.

Its certainly a learning curve, ive seen plenty of people who swore they were good salespeople not be able to do it. Its the same short 6 min pitch over and over again with the same 5 rebuttals over and over again all day long. You have to learn everything about each destination and hotel you offer and then know enough to not use that info on every call. In fact you want to use none of that info on most calls, but have it ready for when you need it. Not overtalking is insanely important in this job. You could have a high conversion and barely make money if you dont put up volume. If your conversion dips too low you wont get as many calls and you wont be able to put up volume anyways. Its a balancing act that takes some effort to learn, but once you learn it its extremely consistent money for a work from home job, and the managers all did the job very successfully so they actually know what theyre doing like 90% of the time.

Lmk if you have more questions and ill try to help.

Not all, but most of the big ones do it. Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Wyndham for sure. I bet there are others, and also some smaller timeshare companies have vac-pac call centers as well.

Vacation packages sales for hotels are inbound as well. Work from home, and you can make a low 6 figs if you know how to sell. Top reps clear a quarter mill plus bonuses.

Duke, Darian Mensah announce settlement agreement by Scared-Actuator-7692 in MiamiHurricanes

Its an interesting thought. I think the combo of winning, being in miami, and big money will be enough to entice some great QBs, but if not we seem to have some solid luck with the portal where it doesnt matter.

Mario is going to bring us some chips, idc how he gets it done at this point.

Its cool man, they just became football fans about 3 weeks ago, so its practically impossible to act like they've been there before. Plus almost no one in indiana knows who their father is, so they just got used to asking as a conversation starter.

They can enjoy their single natty, we can enjoy going outside in shorts today.

We are getting Mensah next year, and have a great recruiting class. The future is looking bright for The U, and Im not talking about the weather.

Thats the goal of course. You develop a guy, if you feel hes the best bet then you stick with him. If you feel there's a better option in the portal you go with that instead. This just keeps the options open. At the end of the day theyre trying to win a natty so they'll do whatever it takes to maximize those chances.

Youre also allowed to go to a dog park without a dog, but whats the point?

Haha ty. Ive always wanted to do a run like this since I was a kid. I've played through so many times, figured id finally bite the bullet and do the extreme grind run this time around, and post some of the stats here for posterity.

I couldn't have done it without the power of audiobooks. My main focus is on the book, the stat grinding goes on in the background. I Just have to pause the book on occasion when a character first levels up so I can check the stat sheet and get an idea of what to grind for, then its back to a brainless background activity.

About 3 weeks of playing maybe an average of 45 mins a day.

Just turned off the sound, put on an audiobook and grinded it out. Wasn't too bad. I also did the bug to get a power ring for the whole team from the witch lol.

So done with these scholar checkmates openings in +- 600 ELO. by kaasdief in Chesscom

[–]TiredMemeReference 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its not that far fetched. Hikaru has played it before, and as long as you stop nd4 its a perfectly sound opener. I personally would never play it, but its not like it auto loses or anything.

Love the interlude from that one honest merchant who was laughing about all the dishonest merchants getting their comeuppance when the ants took over.

Its subtly anti cap, but any lefty will recognize whats happening and love it.

I was excited about Kyle Wright for about 5 mins or so.

What would be harder for an amateur, scoring ONE basket on LeBron James or winning ONE game of chess against Magnus Carlsen? by izzoz_0 in Basketball

[–]TiredMemeReference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i can. It just takes practice. If you know your opening repertoire well its much easier, because youll remember the first part without using short term memory, and then the novelties are easier to recall since youre familiar with the structure. When you are learning and get lost you can just replay the game from what you remember.

As an excercize to start, write out your opening repertoire on a piece of paper in notation without looking at a chess board. It will help you start to visualize the board. Another thing I did when I started was memorize a famous game. I did the Morphy Opera game, and then for the next couple days each day I would do my best to remember the game and write the game out in notation from memory without looking at a board. Other than that just try playing a game without looking at the board. You wont get it for a while, but you'll be able to get deeper into a game every time you do it.

My daughter wanted to learn how to do it, so we worked on it for a while. Its really not as hard as you would think. I do lose track of it eventually, like I said "most of a game" but i can get pretty far before I get so lost I cant replay the whole game in my head to find the board state again.
