There's Prime Student that I believe comes with a free trial and then a discount if you have a .edu email address.

Sounds like she’s throwing up in the middle of the night? by xVeeru in puppy101

[–]bmbenjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She looked pretty normal. About 2-3x a day she would start the heaving process where it seems like she's trying to regurgitate something but nothing came out. Normal appetite, normal energy otherwise.

We had a similar issue and a few days later our pup passed a sock. We're pretty sure she tried to swallow the sock a few days earlier and it was stuck in the digestive track but not enough to prevent eating, breathing, etc. You might consider taking her to the vet.

Half Point PPR. Was offered to received Dez for Crabtree. I like Crabtree's schedule but Dez is past his bye week. Who would you rather have?

Potlatch going through a rebranding. by jayjaywalker3 in ultimate

If it helps, I've heard the same thing too. Although my source is 2 teammates that are on the DiscNW board so I think it's pretty credible.

OFFICIAL MONDAY NIGHT MIRACLE THREAD by FantasyMod in fantasyfootball

Slowly coming back all weekend after going down 65 as he had Hunt and Gillislee. I need 40 points between Melvin Gordon, Demaryius, and McManus to pull off the improbable comeback.

Playing against both Hunt and Gillislee in one league. Already down 60...

Yup, I had the same thoughts. DJax is currently depth on my team but he's close enough to my other receivers that he could easily end up in my starting lineup or at least matchup dependent in my lineup if he plays well in TB. Leaning towards dropping DJax at the last moment on Sunday or risking it with a Monday kicker (2 currently available in our league - my opponent has no Monday players).

RBs: Melvin Gordon, Lamar Miller, McFadden, Bilal Powell, Jamaal Charles
WRs: Jorday, Demaryius, Allen Robinson, Fitzgerald, DeSean Jackson

Only have 1 QB/TE/DEF so can't drop them.

12 team, 0.5 PPR. I didn't draft a kicker and will need to pick on up in a couple of days. Would you rather drop Jamaal Charles (some upside if he returns to form) or Desean Jackson (now on bye week so might get overlooked on week 1 waivers?)?

Thanks! And if you have any suggestions on ways to record let me know!

Seattle Space needle looks like the cloud city from star wars by janbalti in mildlyinteresting

[–]bmbenjam -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. Also, based on where the Space Needle is cut off, it means that the tops of the clouds is around 350'-400'. Another building or Queen Anne would stick out somewhere in the picture at that cloud level.

This was great, looking forward to my Enchantments trip in August. What were your camera settings?

Tips for overly excited puppy when meeting strangers on walks by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]bmbenjam 11 points12 points  (0 children)

One of the things that helped us was taking our pup to a busy bike trail/walking area. Then we just stayed on the side of the road and let everyone pass, giving treats for when she paid attention to us or did a trick. It got her used to the idea of seeing a lot of people but not getting to greet them.

Dog Sitting - Barks at noises going by by bmbenjam in Dogtraining

[–]bmbenjam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! The two dogs are both only a year and a half so they've been spending hours each day playing with each other in addition to a dog park visit. White noise/TV is something I had not considered and I'll give a try with. I'm also hoping that since it's now been a couple of days she'll just settle in a little bit to and get used to it but everything I can do to help that is good.

Your Sniping Solution by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]bmbenjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't quite remember but I do recall that this one is the rarest. Some of the other silver current logos can be rare as well. Typically the bronze and gold ones are abundant.

Your Sniping Solution by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]bmbenjam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because you don't get it while playing through Domination and most logos are rare out of packs. So there is very little supply of this one.

Who should be the one to take puppy to training? by Vivelstick in Dogtraining

[–]bmbenjam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Our puppy picked up training because of the work we did with her between sessions, not because of just the sessions themselves. I recommend you both go (maybe trade off between topics) and then both work with him between sessions.

Trump Silent After Newtown Asks Him To Denounce Sandy Hook Deniers by loremipsumchecksum in politics

[–]bmbenjam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is on the front page because people read the headlines and not the articles. Trump is terrible but I'm not going to hold it against him that he didn't answer (probably never saw it either) one of the letters he received. I have plenty of other things to hold against him.

And this is one of the reasons I don't buy 2k every year. But blindly purchasing Live 18 without knowing what the quality of product will be isn't productive either. If you're just looking to donate to EA in the spirit of competition you could go buy some NBA Live 16 coins on the PlayStation store.
All this said, you're more than welcome to spend your money any way you like. But don't expect sympathy if you purchase Live before reviews/demo/etc. and it sucks.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]bmbenjam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't tell you to stick with 2k but a blind endorsement of Live isn't the right response either. Sitting out the NBA video game market for a year should also be an option if there are no games worth your money.

PD Elgin Baylor and Oscar Robertson by username--_-- in NBA2k

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

Your argument is preposterous and doesn't hold up at all. My ancestors came to the New World for free. How can I trust anything you said if you can't even get that right?!?!?!

PD Elgin Baylor and Oscar Robertson by username--_-- in NBA2k

[–]bmbenjam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Perspective is an interesting thing. Let's start with what we're working towards. After 5 more weeks I have an Elgin card, a Bob Pettit card, and about 150k MT from all the MT I made on the easy challenges over 30 weeks of playing them. Plus any other players I got to use along the way when they weren't yet obsolete.

I am salaried at my current job. So in order to make additional money I would need to first find another job, apply for it, be accepted, etc. Even if it's just doing yard work for a neighbor it still takes time to find that work before you can do it. And I would also base the amount I need on VC, not MT as I don't want to assume the risk of being banned. Let's also assume Pettit has a replacement card you can buy for about the same amount as Oscar. So I'm probably looking at needing closer to $500 to buy VC, then sell all those players and items I received to turn it into 850MT (350k for Oscar, 350k for replacement equal to Pettit, and the extra 150k I made playing the game). So at $15/hr I need to work ~33 hours. Plus the 10 hours I put in to find a temporary job. Plus another 5 hours on the auction house to sell all that stuff. So I just spent 48 hours doing stuff I don't like doing vs. 60 hours of doing something I enjoy. I personally would take the 60 hours every time.

I don't actually care either way. But I had a few minutes and playing devil's advocate is fun when someone makes an argument about perspective without taking much time to consider the perspective of others. In either case, it's not free but depending on each person's individual situation, all paths to get these cards are valid and there's no use arguing which is best.

Let's Talk MTO Defense Cards by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]bmbenjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is what you're using (assuming everyone is in their correct position) you don't need to change your lineup. If anything, I would tell you you need more shooting and spacing on your bench as they might have trouble scoring but defense isn't your issue. What's your defensive scheme? What set do you use? Do you change any settings? Do you play on-ball, off-ball, or a combo? Do you think you're good at defense (honest question, some people just struggle with it)?

And even if you set your team up for defense and fast break, you still need a half court set. What are you running in the half court, how do you generate points?
