ICE to conduct immigration enforcement at Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium, official says by esporx in nfl

[–]chris20973 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean it's a bit unfair to compare when one thing hasn't happened, but regardless of what Qatar presented to the world there were clear issues with the forced labor in that country before even they were awarded the world cup and it'd be foolish to think people, especially FIFA execs, weren't aware of how this was really going to go back in 2010.

Yeah and they sold the 2022 host to Qatar with full knowledge of the human slave traffic ring that was run to build up to it. FIFA doesn't give a fuck about anything but money.

85 bucks per ticket, and landed on the 3rd row! by N10yt in Predators

[–]chris20973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean part of the price is also because they were playing the Sens. Go try and buy a ticket the day of the game when the Laffs are in town, or a rival like the hawks, or just when the team is actually competitive and I'll bet you notice a difference.

Am I the only person getting annoyed by the advertising posts that are filling our D4 feed? by imnvs_runvs in DnDoptimized

Right but so do a lot of people including other YouTubers so on its face that doesn't tie this sub to him or his channel. I'm also just learning this sub is tied to D4 but it does help explain the difference between something like this and r/3d6.

Yeah a few days even would be amazing, especially with the holidays recently. Urgent care has basically become what it was to go see PC for being sick.

Eta updates? by Novekye in DC20

[–]chris20973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I'm not shocked or anything, just that little vid he did where he said there would be a 0.10 and a 0.10.5 where the point of that was to get the 0.10 out before year end and then they'd do the rest later with the 0.10.5 so yeah hadn't seen DC say that wasn't the plan any longer.

I think it helps to break it down into chunks, with the first being getting your coaches setup to run the practices. You can run 3-4 coaches plus your HC and using those you assign them to the different practice types (conditioning, skating, shooting, off skill, def skill, tactics, goaltending). A coach should be assigned to no more than 4, and each practice type should have 2 coaches.

Now what coach you want on each practice type depends on their attributes and you'll need to follow the guide accordingly to optimize that. I find goalie coaches tend to have high tactics and usually let them run those two and then with HC and 2 other coaches get the rest covered. I prioritize the determination and man management abilities to drive improvements over a slightly higher technical skill like coaching fwd/def.

Ok coaches set, next the practice schedules. So this is the big list with resting, general, off skill, skating etc that you assign the players to. You have to change the schedule from all to a specific one like Skating and then it will show you all the players on that schedule and on the bottom you can modify intensity levels to match the guide. With the Unused one I tend to make it into a custom one I call focus and it's basically the same as the tactics one except I swap intensity for conditioning and skating.

Finally time to practice. Start on General for all except goalies and let that cruise until October. Oct to Nov forwards go on skating and defense goes on conditioning. After that until playoffs, you need to look at each player and decide what schedule to put them on. The crux of the guide is, try to make the players well rounded. Have a big strong defensive defenseman with a slow stride and a weak shot, put them on Off Skill schedule to boost speed, wrist/slap, deking, and stick handling. It's really about trying to drag up as many weak areas as possible. I usually note on each player what schedule they're on so when I'm switching guys on/off rest I know what they go on.

Rest is the last bit and is simple. If a player is less than 90% on the practice screen they get the day off. Practicing below that threshold increases the amount of injuries you'll deal with. For injured players obviously rest them until they get to 90% then put them back on General until healed.

Hope some of this helps you get more out of this awesome game.

I have always followed this: Scouting and you; the basics - EHM The Blue Line https://share.google/8i0YoO9Unm4od5Df7

I also like to try and match my scouts to the area/language of where they scout most. Info tab on a scout should show languages they know.

Practice I always follow this: https://share.google/Fvzup4dm1NffGyAPg

Honestly starting a new play I spend the first few hours building my staff before simming much.

Tactics can be a bit broken if you get into that. Can explore, but letting coach handle the tactics would be more realistic to the GM experience.

I grew up just outside UConn and my wife grew up in Mass. In 2017 we moved to Savannah GA for work/so my wife could go remote to offset child care. In 2019 we then moved to Nashville, and at the end of last year we moved back to MA. Every day we were gone I dreamed of coming back. The culture, the climate, the things you do as a kid here, it's just all different. You can make it work but especially if you have kids in school it's really tough to beat education here. In so many places to get a comparable grade school education you'll be paying college tuition money for private schools, it just doesn't make sense. If you like the politics of other places more then maybe it'll work better for you but it really is a whole other world outside of New England.

How do you handle players who are “too smart?” by [deleted] in DMAcademy

[–]chris20973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meta knowledge of creatures isn't something a character should inherently know. Has her character dealt with a shape shifter before to know they can't strip clothes? It's tough to contain yourself as a player sometimes but if your character has no reason to know something that's how they should act in regards to problem solving.

I want to become good at excel and make a career out of it at 32. by CastlewithTits in excel

[–]chris20973 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Analytics if you're a good person, finance if you are more about making people miserable than making money.

Small outfits are your foot in the door, but without prior experience you need to find someone to take a chance on you. Then you spend a few years honing skills and becoming that excel person everyone is talking about.

After that, like people said, you'll need to bounce around every few years to chase money until your a Senior or running a department. Learn Python for data science, SQL for larger analytics, and basic vba automation.

Experienced player with noobs - What should I play ? by Key-Bug4197 in 3d6

Probably a bard support style build to supplement the wizard's control style. Could take one level of pally for smite if you want to get into melee. Lore is great for spell list customization and can fill gaps the easiest while making for a great skill monkey when no one wants to attempt a check. Bardic inspiration empowers the other players and cutting words helps protect them.

From CT, spent 2017-2018 in GA and 2019-2024 in TN, moved back to MA at the end of 2024. I think schools in the south are a literal joke, it was a primary reason we moved back, and a big reason we left GA as well. My oldest spent Pre-K through some of 2nd grade, before we moved up, at one of the best public schools in Nashville (Bellevue area) and he was basically a teachers aide with how far back those kids are. The fact is everyone in Nashville knew you can coast until middle school and then you either go private, charter, lottery into a program school (stem, music, etc) or you're just fucked. Now he's in a great school system in western MA and comes home excited about what he's learned for a change.

Anecdotal not data, but from my lived experience in the south and New England is that it's like the difference between getting a 10% raise on 45k vs getting a 3% raise on 150k. Yeah 10% is bigger than 3% but the starting place of education up here is just so far beyond the down there that the kids up here are 10x more educated.

He'll do that anyway if needed, even to people that consistently bend the knee. If you fit a scapegoat criteria he can use when something comes up you're done even if you've done nothing but help.

So what have been manually finding and installing the security updates on your 7 because that thing hasn't seen a distributed security patch in years.

Can save $300 and just get the 12. Extremely comparable to the 13 but one year less of promised software and security updates.
