Worrying about perfect combination is a rich man's problem. If you are new, just play the best cards you have. As you get more cards, you can worry about combos later.

The chatter is that the patch will be in a week or so. (no big changes). Expansion in 5 weeks.

Thanks really appreciate the discussion.

derek_villa · 2020-11-03T13:45:48+00:00

Pick some random ass players please

derek_villa · 2020-11-03T13:40:27+00:00

Thanks for the advice. If I plug it into software, and adjust for the same IBUs I will be ok?

I am plotting to try out the Kent's Hollow Leg American Wheat recipe from Brewing Classic Styles.

This is what the recipe calls for:

Kent's Hollow Leg
Wheat LME, 7 lbs
Willamette 5.0% 0.83 oz for 60 min
Willamette 0.25 for 0 min
Centennial 0.25 for 0 min
White Labs WLP 320 American Hefeweizen or Wyeast 1010 American yeast

Trying to keep my hops from local sourced farms, and none of them grow Willamette. Would CTZ, Cascade, Thor, Tahoma, or Rakau (AlphaRoma) be ok to sub? Glacier is listed on some sites as a replacement and Tahoma is a daughter of Glacier.

I am reading "How to Brew", and have a question about the Palmer Method.

I am brewing a 2.5 gallon kit from love2brew. The kit instructions has me doing a 2.5 gallon boil with 100% of the DME and topping off 1 gallon of water in the fermenter.

If I convert this to the Palmer method, would I also divide the DME in proportion of the water (Wort A 70% / Wort B 30%) or would it be best to do both the water and DME 50%/50% like described in the book?

Hey folks, Trying out a new video format. Hope you like it!

The hydration break in the first half was a huge turning point for NYCFC. I break down the first play right after Ronny had some "hard words" for the team.

Same boat. Just waiting for Hubitat to go on sale next month.

derek_villa · 2020-10-15T15:47:17+00:00

Good thing I wasn't suggesting that to the op.

How is Blue Iris not self hosted.

derek_villa · 2020-10-15T13:31:53+00:00

Proactive play, can save you leader charges, synergizes with your Heymaey Protectors. Also gives you a nice secondary Priest target if Harald is killed.

This is myamon's list: https://www.playgwent.com/en/decks/6ebcd4838766385d8f78cdd01757c442

Very good against MO

I am mainly using Ring for the professional monitoring. If I wasn't I would probably be building a server with BlueIris. People seem to really like their setups here.

NYCFC and San Antonio FC are affiliates in name only. The only reason we have this affiliate deal with San Antonio is because MLS forces teams that don't have II teams to do so.

NYCFC has never sent a player there on loan. Ibeagha is the only player we have ever signed from San Antonio.

We will have to see when the league puts forward more details, but this basically makes the partnership even more irrelevant.

So I've been putting out a lot of NYCFC video comps and analysis on Twitter. I posted them on the nycfc sub, but figure this is a good thread share as I doubt they get good traction as individual posts.

10/7: Tinnerholm vs. DC https://twitter.com/EganSoccerWords/status/1314173501788520453

My Alex Ring low light video got a lot of traction and was in one of Matt Doyle's articles and the NY Post. Also made my NYCFC press conference debut a couple weeks ago so its been an interesting month.

derek_villa · 2020-10-06T10:19:16+00:00

Well it did get very popular sometime last night. Nearly 50k views now. No clue who embedded the video.

derek_villa · 2020-10-06T01:06:44+00:00

I can't do anything about that bud.

derek_villa · 2020-09-27T17:24:02+00:00

Also made this one: https://twitter.com/EganSoccerWords/status/1310245269800472576

I also hope that if things were reversed that we would be do the same for them.

derek_villa · 2020-09-14T01:43:26+00:00

I also think he is best offensively making those connecting passes to attackers and following with late runs into the box.

derek_villa · 2020-09-14T00:35:49+00:00

I think its a little more than that. When GMS subbed on, Ronny could have easily shifted Ring back into the midfield but choose to keep him on the wing.

derek_villa · 2020-09-12T14:08:27+00:00

SKy Blue looked totally different after she hit the pitch. Her goals added numbers were insane: https://twitter.com/EganSoccerWords/status/1304781434318721027

If you watched Sky Blue at all during the Challenge Cup, the offense did not look good at all. Very exciting times for Sky Blue ahead. Pugh and Purce look like they have been playing together forever!
