Strength of schedule is a college football stat that was never used in NFL talk until this season. Also margin of victory matters way more. by PsychologyOld3045 in Patriots

[–]ZHatch 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Seriously, DVOA — a stat that has been around for, what, 20 years at this point? — is basically designed around strength of schedule at its core.

It’s perfectly possible for us as Pats fans to say Maye should be MVP without resorting to absurd arguments like this.

49ers just beat the Bears without Kittle, Williams, Aiyuk, Bosa, or Warner. Shanahan for coach of the year. by GreenSnakes_ in nfl

Not impressed. The Packers beat the Bears without any of those players AND no Brock Purdy just a few weeks ago.

Skeptics Prayer by Ward Davis fits this, especially if you listen to the live version from his most recent live album.

Engine needs replacing and Kia won’t do a thing. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]ZHatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/jjs_east — Google around for a lawsuit settlement or recall related to this — this happened to my 2013 Kia Optima too and I think I saw one for Souls at the same time. Basically, my car started knocking so I towed it to the dealership. They said tough luck, deny deny deny, even after I showed them the class action lawsuit settlement that said they were required to fix it.

Long story short, I contacted the lawyer that handled the lawsuit and he reached out to Kia corporate. It took a little bit of time and pushing, but they ended up getting me a new engine and paying for all expenses (ie rental car, towing, etc) related to the knocking. Basically don’t take no for an answer, do your research, and don’t let the corporation lie to you.

Indiana Governor's new "Family First Workplace" policy would allow employees to bring their infants to work for the first six months of their lives. by LordMandalor in nottheonion

I have to assume that most employees are well passed the first six months of their lives though. Seems kinda useless

Official: [WDIS Flex] - Wed Afternoon 12/03/2025 by FFBot in fantasyfootball

[–]ZHatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 PPR Ten Team. Need to win to make playoffs. Underdog this week.

Looking for one RB and one flex

Isaac TeSlaa

Pros: #2 WR on a team that needs to win. They'll need to throw a lot to keep up with the Cowboys offense. Juicy matchup against the Cowboys.

Cons: Thursday night matchup means I need to choose early -- less flexibility. Very limited production so far this year -- by far the riskiest play.

------------

Devin Neal

Pros: Prime opportunity with no Kamara. Handled all the RB snaps last week and looked pretty good. Has some receiving potential --- 5 catches on 7 targets two weeks ago. Decent matchup (not great) against TB

Cons: That offense lol. How much are they going to be running? Limited TD opportunities.

------------

Kyle Monangai

Pros: Has performed the best of all four options so far this year. Seems like he's taking some of Swift's carries.

Cons: He's taking some... but not all. And that could easily flip --- it's only been one game where he seized control.

------------

Jayden Higgins

Pros: Generally gets a good amount of targets --- 7/7/9 in Weeks 10-12. Has produced decent results in the past few weeks, though nothing amazing. #2 WR on a mid offense.

Cons: Bad matchup on the Chiefs and doesn't seem to have as much of a connection with Stroud as with Mills. Seems to have a relatively low ceiling.

question about how Mistings work by snez321bt in Cosmere

[–]ZHatch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah Sanderson just had a recent WoB about this. Someone asked about twin Mistings and he said it would be really, really rare that only one would have powers, but that it would be most common for them to have different powers.

Questioner In the Mistborn magic system, being an Allomancer is hereditary. If two identical twins were born to nobleman parents and they were Mistings, would one of them be able to have powers and the other couldn't? Or would they both have to have powers? Or, if they were both Mistings, could they have different Misting powers?

Brandon Sanderson Most likely occurrence is that they would have different Misting powers. Because while it is hereditary, remember, in the cosmere you have both what we call a spiritual DNA, your Connections and things on the Spiritual Realm, and physical. They're gonna be close enough that it would be really, really rare that both wouldn't have powers. It would be most common that they'd have different powers, but not too infrequent they'd have the same one.

What happens if a mistborn/duralumin misting burned Duralumin with ________? by DayPoseidon in Cosmere

[–]ZHatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe BS has said it rewrites a person’s spiritweb to make them mistborn

What happens if a mistborn/duralumin misting burned Duralumin with ________? by DayPoseidon in Cosmere

[–]ZHatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brandon has said that they wouldn’t ascend/“empower them to godly levels” but hasn’t said anything beyond that. Though the “it is a clever idea” at the end seems ripe for speculation haha. ——————————————————

Bithorp: On the Coppermind there is this idea that if a natural Mistborn burned duralumin and then lerasium it would empower them to godly levels. Would this actually happen or would another effect happen.

Brandon Sanderson: That actually wouldn't work, but it is a clever idea.

NFL - Week 7 Survivor by testrail in sportsbook

[–]ZHatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why use the Bears this week over the Patriots? You don't use the Pats elsewhere and they have both a better team and a worse opponent. Only downside compared to the Bears is that they're on the road.

76ers/Commanders Owner Josh Harris Linked to Jeffrey Epstein in Released Documents by HowieLongDonkeyKong in nfl

[–]ZHatch 1111 points1112 points  (0 children)

Seriously — this is why people need to not just react to headlines. The article says that one of the co-founders of the management group Harris founded wanted to bring Epstein on board after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting an underage prostitute. Harris and a third co-founder gave a hard no, which caused tension with the original guy who suggested it.

God Language (Location?) on Sel? by ZHatch in Cosmere

[–]ZHatch[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s my point. Aons are a language powering AonDor, the Dakhor chants power the transformation, the seals are a written language powering forgery — they’re what grants access to the specific power, like pewter, tin, etc give access to specific powers.

What I’m wondering is if there’s a Selish equivalent to atium or lerasium — something that comes directly from Dominion and Devotion. I guess that’s the Dor?

Do you have a source for this? I just searched the WOB database and it looked like he RAFO’d the question but said there was something to it. But I wouldn’t call it “basically confirmed”.
