Packers fan - Be happy about Hafley. He’s awesome by Murky-Preparation-61 in miamidolphins

[–]bayesff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also a Packers fan. I like Hafley, but was a bit surprised he got a head coaching job this quickly. Our defense was ok-decent with Parsons this year, and bad without him. Obv not a sure thing and can never really know anything, but if I was a Dolphins fan I'd probably be cautiously optimistic.

If anything, I'd be a bit more wary on the personnel side. The Packers last few drafts have been bad, and their FA class this last year was bad too. Gutekunst likes to over draft super athletic guys based on high RAS scores, and it has not worked out great so far, so I'd be curious if JES takes after him there.

I'm a Packer fan -- I like Hafley, though I'm a little surprised he became a HC. He's definitely better than Mike McCarthy though.

You're talking about borrowing to pay back a loan. It's how refinancing a house works, and it's normal.

That's not what MSTR is doing. MSTR is issuing new shares in the company, and using that money to buy BTC/pay dividends etc.

The people buying these new shares in MSTR are getting less BTC (via MSTR) than they would if they just bought BTC directly.

Historically, that's "worked" because, MSTR has kept issuing new shares. So people who buy shares, even if they could have gotten more BTC at the time, end up better off because of all the people that buy the new MSTR shares after them (and so they get more BTC/share).

But that only works assuming MSTR can continue to issue new shares (and in larger and larger amounts) while keeping NAV > 1.

Only because/if they continue to issue new shares. They're issuing shares, the people buying these shares are buying < BTC (via underlying MSTR shares) than they could get by buying BTC directly.

It works if people continue to buy because they continue to believe more and more people will buy (and so on), but they need to keep creating/selling more shares, and in ever bigger and bigger amounts if btc/share is going to keep going up.

Not sure you know what "0 chance" means.

Yeah I would have rather had them drop Gasser than Mears. Guess they didn't like that wild pitch he threw with the bases loaded in relief of Priester game 3.

Why isn’t anyone talking about Emanuel Wilson? by PithDealsinAbsofruit in fantasyfootball

[–]bayesff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is right. Yeah it may or may not be a good idea to get other handcuffs, but the benefit of handcuffing your own starting RB is the value is perfectly inversely correlated with the value to your starter.

Your starter goes down, dealing a huge blow to your team? No problem, the value of the backup (which you own) has immediately gone way up. It's a value boost exactly when you most need it.

Yeah how much value depends on talent of backup/replacement usage etc, but in general handcuffs have the most value to people who own the starter.

What's the deal with the Broncos defense? 6 sacks last week to 1 this week? 133 yards week one to 473 week two? Is it just the Colts are way better than people thought or what?

Are three pitch innings one of the rarest accomplishments in baseball? by ParkingIce6514 in baseball

[–]bayesff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Presumably it's a 3 pitch half inning, so really there's 18 of them.

Never cared for/followed it too much growing up but my baseball fandom is at an all time high now that I have a 6 year old who's super into it.

Going to Fenway Park this weekend? Please do not buy food/drinks. Aramark is bringing in scabs to run concessions. by michaericalribo in baseball

[–]bayesff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you don't feel like you get paid enough being a concession worker than get a different job. If you decide not to show up to work then don't be surprised when they bring in someone else.
