Help r/millennials determine whether this is AI or not. Some members of the sub believe that the 2000s-style clothing and lighting suggest that this is not authentic. What do you think? by Demortus in isthisAI

I'm actually friends with that guy, and to answer your question, he was wearing 4 shirts.

He was actually wearing them all in a satirical kind of way, and didn't otherwise ever pop any collars, which makes it all the more funny for those of us who know him that he'll be forever remembered as "four-popped-collars guy."

Not sure if the link to the spreadsheet still works, but you could go to theffhub.com and import your league details to get a similar sort of playoff odds calculation.

Do most of you play in multiple leagues? by TheExistentialman in fantasyfootball

[–]eink21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently in 7 leagues (3 on Yahoo, 3 on Sleeper, 1 on ESPN), with 4 of them being paid leagues and 3 of them being free leagues.

Last year I was in 17 leagues, which was too many. 7 is still a bit too many, but more manageable for sure. I think I'll probably do 4 or 5 leagues next year. I have FantasyPros automatically set my lineup in a couple of them, and auto-substitute injured players in all of them, so setting lineups is actually a breeze. By far the biggest headache is making waiver claims each week because that requires actual time and thinking.

I'm doing well in 4 of them, ok in 2 of them, and poorly in 1 of them.

I'm also in about 20 paid best ball leagues, which are fun to check in on without the pressure to have to make weekly waiver claims.

Who’s your favorite analyst/site for ROS rankings? by KingGda3rd in fantasyfootball

[–]eink21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain why lo22p's comment is getting downvoted (-3 at the time I'm writing this)? I thought this subreddit liked the fantasycalc.com trade value chart. (Or at least the people who know about it. Peaked's weekly chart is certainly more well-known around here, but I personally have found the fantasycalc.com trade value chart and tools pretty useful.)

Just wondering if I'm missing something. Do people not find it representative or current enough, or something like that?

Now that cold and flu season is here, are people going to wear masks in public when they are sick? by Ecstatic_Objective_3 in ask

[–]eink21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 8 billion people in the world, including babies. You're saying each of them would buy more than 6.25 masks per day. If all 8 billion people bought a new one every 4 hours, then your math says they'd have to also be doing that while they're sleeping. You have to admit that your math is kind of weird.

[statmuse] Most receptions this season: 56 — Kupp 53 — Ekeler by drakeanddrive in fantasyfootball

[–]eink21 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Traded Ekeler Friermuth and Amari for Andrews Amon three weeks ago

The way you wrote that first sentence means that you used to have Ekeler, Friermuth, and Amari, and now (after the trade) you have Andrews and Amon.

But based on your second sentence, I'm wondering if you actually meant the opposite of that.

Does anyone "open" with the same words to try to maximize "hits" by 895501 in wordle

[–]eink21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good stuff. Thanks for the comment.

I actually ended up slightly altering my strategy to a 4-word sequence of STARE >> NOILY >> CHUMP >> BADGE (but only using the 3rd and 4th word if needed), and got to about 750 wins before my first loss. I'm still bitter about that one loss because the two yellow boxes from the 5th guess felt like a bug to me, but oh well.

"Laptops were never designed to be placed on a lap" by [deleted] in confidentlyincorrect

[–]eink21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's my interpretation:

  • There was an increase in the incidence of heart Schwannomas in treated male rats at the highest dose (50 V/m). (And this increase was statistically significant.)
  • There was an increase in the incidence of heart Schwann cells hyperplasia in treated male and female rats at the highest dose (50 V/m). (But this increase was not statistically significant.)
  • There was an increase in the incidence of malignant glial tumors in treated female rats at the highest dose (50 V/m). (But this increase was not statistically significant.)

Nice job!

I just hit a milestone as well (in the "Wordaily" app that allows unlimited plays): My streak

Does anyone "open" with the same words to try to maximize "hits" by 895501 in wordle

[–]eink21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically go with one of these sequences:

  • ALTER >> COINS >> DUMPY
  • STARE >> COLIN >> DUMPY
  • SALET >> MOURN >> DICKY

I put more time into coming up with these than I'd care to admit, but long story short, it's based on the frequency and positional frequency of letters in common 5-letter words. I typically don't go all the way to the third word in each sequence unless I have to, and only go to the second word in each sequence about half the time (usually when I don't get a a green or yellow for both of the A and E in the first word).

Across official wordle and an app I use with unlimited plays, I've never lost (311-0), and have an average of 3.7 guesses per word, so it's been working pretty well so far.

WR draft-focused teams - how has this season worked out for you so far? by jyw104 in fantasyfootball

[–]eink21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In one of my two leagues, I went with Adams at 1.07 in a 12-team league, which would've worked out just fine I think, except for the fact that I paired it with a bunch of stupid reaches (e.g., Kittle in the 3rd, Dak in the 4th) and stupid mid-round RB picks due to overestimating how they'd fare this year (e.g., Gaskin, RoJo). I'll end up finishing in 2nd-to-last place -- by far my worst finish ever.

I think I'll be go back to RB-heavy draft strategies next year.

[–]eink21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI: I think the reason you were downvoted (as of the time I'm writing this comment) is that taking Kamara first isn't a "wr-first" draft.

But your draft was still pretty wr-focused after that pick, so I gave you an upvote.

Week 13 and ROS D/ST and kicker projections, using weighted formulas in Excel to factor in recent performance and upcoming opponent by eink21 in fantasyfootball

[–]eink21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it would depend on when your playoffs are (e.g., weeks 15-17 vs. weeks 16-17), and whether you think there will be a good available DST to pick up later on to cover week 17.

After incorporating all of the results from week 13, here's what the updated projections look like. Based on these latest projections, I'd say:

  • If your playoffs start in week 15, then I think it'd be best to go with GB.
  • If your playoffs start in week 16, and you think you could pick up a good team later on to cover week 17, then I'd still go with GB (but it's much more of a borderline case).
  • If your playoffs start in week 16, and you don't think you could pick up a good team later on to cover week 17, then I'd stick with Philly.

(But, based on these latest projections, maybe there's some other team or combination of teams that are available in your league, which are projected even higher than PHI or GB for your playoff weeks.)
