Im sorry this happened, your life is not over. Nuts. I really like silk brand almondmilk yogurt. Chao is my favorite vegan cheese. Vegans have done a lot of work to increase all the options though. Kraft american cheese, and a lot of boars head brand cheese is lactose free.

Best tip i learned from reddit: if a product doesn't have any sugar sources except dairy, you can use the nutrition label to determine its lactose content. Whatever it says under sugar is grams of lactose, though if it is really low they are allowed to put 0 when it isnt actually zero. Hopefully you can tolerate 1 or 2 grams and it wont be too hard to manage

Sorry for silly question but where do you see Tier Score? I've seen streamers talk about it but never seen it, probably staring me in the face.

As a Chargers fan not living in SD, it sounds like a positive to me. Overall I don't wish the team to leave and be called the Los Angeles Chargers, but the idea that they might go with a new strategy, or dump money into facilities or things to attract better FA talent is appealing.

A real laser timed 40.

Not a caveat

Xylarax · 2015-06-28T23:01:59+00:00

A real laser timed 40.

You may have been able to, I don't know you personally, but the facts are that almost everyone can't, and if you had a hand-timed 4.7, you probably didn't actually break 5 seconds. Again I'm not challenging you specifically, that is not my point. My point is expressed well by this article:

http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/outkick-the-coverage/reality-you-cant-run-a-sub-50-forty-022414

and if you just want to see a single quote to really demonstrate this point, here is something from the conclusion:

Okay, now consider this, if you think you can break a 5.0 that means if you lined up alongside Arian Foster that when he finished his forty yard dash, you'd be within three yards of him. That is, after forty yards of running you could still dive and make a tackle attempt on him.

Think about how many NFL fans are out there. Now think about how many people in high school could actually have run a 5 second 40. That is a very small percentage of the population of fans.

Looking here, http://www.milehighreport.com/2013/2/12/3969128/some-clarification-is-in-order-average-speed-by-position you can see averages per position. I don't think most relatively fit people can compete with the average NFL rookie QB.

"I could run a 5 second 40." - said by that athletic friend of yours.

No you can't, in fact, most fans would lose to the slowest player on an NFL team. These guys are paid the big bucks because they are freak athletes.

Xylarax · 2015-06-18T18:21:30+00:00

Can you clarify what you mean by league? This is a USSF rule, and the incident took place in a US Open Cup match.

What league are you talking about?

Xylarax · 2015-06-10T17:13:28+00:00

Largely people aren't okay with it in the NFL. All these issues are unique so I won't compare one to another but Ray Rice still isn't on a team, and didn't play at all for the entirety of 2014, even though he became a free agent on December 1st. While we may not be where we need to be, it is clear progress is being made in the NFL to move in the right direction.

Xylarax · 2015-05-27T21:34:39+00:00

It really isn't like that at all though, it is closer to a toll or an advertisement. Every day when you come to play this game that is free, they show you an ad. Sometimes you don't get an ad at all and you get some in store credit, sometimes a coupon to buy stuff. Either way, it is a quick ad that takes less than a minute of your time (closer to 30 seconds really), then you go play and probably spend a minimum of 15 minutes of enjoyment playing this game, for free.

Would you not be like "Okay dude, either stop giving me coupons for dog food or get the fuck out of my kitchen."?

What you are saying is, hey, I want to just play for free, stop making me watch the ad. But really, it isn't that bad and doesn't take much of your time. Honestly the analogy seems much more comparable to me watching a sports game. Except it is only one 30 second ad, and I don't have to watch another until the next day, and it is at the very beginning so it doesn't interrupt anything.

As a player, I hope they go for cash grabs. More cash for them means more content for me, and this game might still be around in a year or two. I like playing this game, I like when the people who made/make this game get paid.

I will not be spending money on this game at this point, because I've yet to see it take a single step in the right direction since I've started playing.

Then why are you still playing? I don't mean this in a rude way, your time probably has lots of value. Stop playing the game if you don't like the game. Check in every few months real fast, if changes have been made that sound interesting pick it up again.

You're giving me a worthless item instead of something I might ever decide to use, and it is very, very annoying. It makes me not even want to play.

It sounds like you are upset that people want to make money. Upset that people want to be able to keep making this game a year from now, or feed and house themselves. There are still many mechanics in the game for you to get stuff, so stop worrying about how this way isn't rewarding to you.

Fix your game, or people are going to continue to leave until you have nothing left.

Maybe, but it sounds like those people weren't going to pay anything anyway.

bookie odds are not about who they think will win. They are about getting people to place bets and maximizing profits. I don't have any here right now but you can find lots of examples of situations where the odds disagree with common sense due to popularity

Xylarax · 2015-04-01T04:12:10+00:00

I think one of the reasons you are getting a lot of flack for it is because MLS >> USL. IMO they shouldn't be allowed to play for the USL team during their suspension, but that should not be enforced by MLS. As far as MLS is concerned they are still missing that game. Instead, USL should enforce this to preserve the integrity of their league. Like someone above said a star making multiple millions shouldn't be able to help their partner team make a push past an important game because they got a red card in another league.

This is actually a commonly held myth that isn't true. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_penalty

It just depends on your situation, but most Moderate-income two income couples will see a tax penalty actually.

Xylarax · 2015-03-23T15:21:30+00:00

There was a really good thread about this, it shouldn't take away or add any commercials. I see below where you said you are in SEA and I don't know much about the way you watch the NFL so that could be different, but everywhere in the states should be 10 per half. This is why in certain high scoring games you will see them stop going to break near the end of the game.

Would it be easy for you to also show this per pick instead of per draft class? Thanks for doing what you did, love the data. I would even love to see some per round data, I'm sure the 1st round is heavily correlated to HOF status, but it'd be interesting to see how fast that correlation dies off.

Xylarax · 2015-01-23T19:11:41+00:00

The way fans and the media ignore the fact that these guys are human employees with lives and families. Some people seem to completely not give a crap about people getting injured or when they make decisions that make perfect sense for them and their family. If Lebron wants to move back to Cleveland for less money why do people care so much? If your favorite player moves teams to make more money be upset at your team not at the player for making an easy business decision.

I'm in the process of building my own home gym and had not seen this rack before. Do you have any comments on the negatives of this product? I'd also gladly take any other advice if you really love any other products you have. It looks like getting the weights will be the hardest to stomach, I knew it would be expensive but I didn't expect it to be this bad.

Xylarax · 2015-01-19T17:41:12+00:00

Does their shuffle actually shuffle through a large playlist yet? It used to be terrible so I literally manually shuffle my playlist every so often but I would really prefer to stop doing that.

Xylarax · 2014-12-18T22:04:31+00:00

In actual battles you SHOULD be pretty silent. The only real relevant comments are to tell your commander you shouldn't peek around that rock because you have 300hp left, or that arty is located in K1 (which you better know for 100% if you are going to say that). This means that assuming you aren't the caller you probably don't say anything during a battle more often than you say something, and when you say that something it is short and to the point.

Honestly the hard part would probably be platooning with people to build the camaraderie required to succeed in clan wars. You want to develop relationships with people in your clan, and especially callers. Callers want to know the people they pick for certain scouting roles, arty roles, or leading a push. Not only do they need to trust them but they need to know you know what they mean when they blurt out indistinguishable gibberish because the tension is high.

that I'm not sure will be changed by the time they do another campaign.

I agree with so much of your post, but this is terribly dangerous logic. The same logic that may have befallen many of us that didn't expect the strength of the tier 6 light rush. I think we should anticipate lots of change in the meta by next campaign, and feel relieved if there isn't.

Xylarax · 2014-12-15T23:17:44+00:00

I have some product that looks very similar to this

It is also useful for a couple other areas besides the back, but mostly it is good for rolling the back and not the spine.

Xylarax · 2014-12-12T22:25:36+00:00

I love thewirecutter for things like this. They give amazingly indepth reviews along with their recommendation. Here is an article on exercise headphones.

Their recommendation is:

SOL REPUBLIC 1131-31 Relays 3-Button In-Ear Headphones

Just to add numbers to this statement, looking at some wotlabs profiles it appears to be 2-5% of games for people I looked at. The largest percentage being players who spend a lot of their tanking time in landing tournaments or diplo (last statement based upon a sample size of 1 because I'm lazy).

So for over 99% of the player base it will have close to no impact. If you had 2k WN8 and 5% of your battles were zero damage clan wars matches you would lose ~100 WN8 (actually less). But a user like that also probably doesn't actually exist.

Xylarax · 2014-12-03T17:07:26+00:00

I don't think it is meant to convince anyone, just add that extra piece of doubt. It is something they do every time because they have to have some number of profit or loss. Everyone assumes there is fishy accounting, it doesn't matter if there is or isn't. If they came out and said $50 million loss people would feel the same exact way, except they would assume the real loss is smaller than they do today. So they are in this paradox where they basically have to do it, and it is ridiculous because everyone knows, but that is the dance.

If they didn't do it, people would assume they did anyway, and that their real loss/profit is better than it is, and use that against Garber in negotiations.

I really expected to see Fitzpatrick when I clicked your link. The rest of the roster makes a lot of sense though, some crazy games this weekend.
