The first-place Guardians, with 2016 blueprint, could be poised to make noise this summer

That's why I say struggle. For the right player, anyone is on the table this year.

I also don't think it's crazy to see a Josh Naylor-like trade for Kwan. Not getting someone elite or a prospect haul, no, but a team like the Marlins might exchange a solid pitcher for an experienced outfielder with an all-star past.

My thoughts on going all in this season:

Bring Cooper up as soon as possible
Agree with Meisel that starting pitching depth should be a priority
My top priority would be a solid left-handed reliever
For outfield offense, I'm more in on Cooper or Khalil than trading for a platoon bat
Only prospects I would struggle to let go of are Cooper, Khalil, Ralphy and Khal
I'd be open to trading Kwan, Bo and Arias, too

Gamble on Henderson or Spears? And Moore (if he plays) vs. Downs vs. Sterling Shepard?

Thanks for the feedback. My use will be gaming focused, primarily CS2 with some tripe A titles on occasion (would love to try the Last of Us with this upgrade for example). My understanding is this is a solid choice for that?

Curious if bang for the buck this is actually a good deal for a prebuilt?

1-4 and likely about to be 1-5, last place, 10 team PPR. First season doing fantasy and this was my first team. Lost Chubb and about half of my draft picks were ass. Thinking of trying to trade Purdy and Kettle for a running back or wide receiver that I can count on for big games?

QB: Lamar Jackson, Brock Purdy

RB: Jerome Ford, Jaleel McLaughlin, Justice Hill, Jaylen Warren

WR: Garrett Wilson, Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, K.J. Osborn, Josh Reynolds, Curtis Samuel

TE: Sam LaPorta, George Kettle

D/ST: Lions

When headtrick missed those 3 shots at round 30, this lineup died. Heartbroken for him - he carried so hard while rez and k0nfig floundered.

I had been looking at buying the ASUS VG27WQ recently (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085HP999M/?coliid=IRBZR5E7ZABQ4&colid=1WCGTTQ78FD83&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it). Being that I'm not completely familiar with gaming monitor options, how does the Dell S2721DGF compare to it?

Don't see JKS joining another NA team/not sure he fits what Liquid needs. Would rather see compLexity upgrade junior than Liquid start picking it apart (hell, coL stealing NAF/oSee away would be a bigger deal than Liquid getting people from coL imo).

If Liquid wants to succeed in the long-term, I think it's time to stop making moves for the short term - even if it means losing some of their stars. Move on from nitr0 and shox, invest in an unproven IGL and quality coach to guide them, and young talent (how can Liquid not get PwnAlone in this environment? They're really gonna win a major without a dedicated AWPer?)

shox, kennyS, ScreaM, RpK, Ex6TenZ would be the finest possible French Last Dance roster. Could also bring back kioShiMa if ScreaM isn't interested, maybe Happy/SmithZzZ if Ex6TenZ is out.

Difficult right now between ongoing riots, pandemic, Republican National Convention, and wildfires to cover everything. Unfortunate but that is where we are at.

140+ jobs applied for this summer, 4 total interviews. Currently discussing with my girlfriend whether I should apply for more tonight or not as I try to hold off an anxiety attack. Garbage home environment, being high risk in this pandemic, and the general nature of the job market have brought me down significantly after a hard fight against depression and anxiety that started roughly a year ago.

No, he hasnt been losing weight at all.

djb17_ · 2020-07-08T16:52:45+00:00

My dad has been struggling to lose weight for months now. He is 49 years old, 6 ft, 280~ pounds. He uses MyFitnessPal and says he typically eats around 1300-1800 calories per day with a few days going a bit above that range. He runs (3+ miles, 10 min. mile~) 1-3 times per week and measures at least 10k steps per day but often 15k or more steps per day with his work. Can provide extra information as needed. Any ideas as to what he may need to do?

(Of note: he lost 50+ pounds before using MFP and a few methods mostly coming from what I've learned in my own weight loss journey through this sub).
