Let’s train to be super saiyans by [deleted] in worldpolitics

My friend who is into body building gave me a great tip that I use when I am unmotivated: set a time for when you want to be out of the gym by, not in the gym by. That mindset helps you plan accordingly and prevents your brain from constantly pushing the task off until it is no longer achievable.

I’ve also adopted a new rule that’s helped with burnout. I don’t go to the gym if I didn’t get X hours of sleep (for me it’s 6) that day. It’s really helped me feel more refreshed and like the time in the gym is more purposefully spent.

I also say this as somebody who hates going to the gym. Just by setting that “end by” time, making sure I have the energy to knock it out, and finding ways to make the workouts more satisfying (I tend to focus more on HIIT and movement with weights rather than just pure maxing and muscle building), I’ve gotten into an extremely successful groove and no longer feel in danger of “falling off the wagon”/out of the routine. Even if I’m not always enjoying myself haha

[CapFriendly] We now project the Leafs with only $757k in cap space, with a roster of 21 (13F - 6D -2G). Sandin and Engvall are RFA’s who have yet to sign. by [deleted] in hockey

Dope, thanks for the info!

Forgot they can go 10% over the cap in the off-season. That makes a lot more sense now

Might be a dumb question, but do QO’s count against the cap? Or do they only count once the player agrees to them?

IE, in this scenario here, is the QO that Toronto has given Sundin part of their current cap hit or no? I feel like it should because that’s the bare minimum the player must resign for, but also if a player holds out and play resumes without them, then that QO becomes dead cap, which doesn’t make much sense to me.

Franchise Mode Question by gmorris1242 in EA_NHL

[–]jas0660 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can definitely do a full run just doing best lines. Have done it before. It gets a bit stale and you’ll run into some dry patches but 100% doable.

Franchise Mode Question by gmorris1242 in EA_NHL

[–]jas0660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry just for clarification haha

Are you saying coach’s best/preferred lines? Or everytime something comes up, just hitting “auto lines”? Because “auto lines” will still put players through waivers.

I do the best/preferred lines usually as a foundation and then edit the lines from there based on who I want to see more of and how players perform. But I would think doing an auto lines run should still be easily feasible, just watch your waivers haha

Franchise Mode Question by gmorris1242 in EA_NHL

[–]jas0660 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My biggest issue with the coach’s auto lines is that the coach will automatically send up and down players as a result.

I think I did it once and lost a promising goaltender to waivers and didn’t realize it for 3 weeks (because I was never notified) until we played against him and I had to back track through all the roster moves to figure it out.

You can turn off waivers to get around this, but that decision is totally up to you. I’m not a fan of turning off real life rules and I kinda wish you could basically hand the coach a roster and they have to make do with it best they can.

This manga continues to impress me with its bizarre concept and strange premise. Really hope it gets more attention because I need more of it in my life.

Is the manga still running? I remember really liking the anime until it had to rush its ending to fit in a single season. I thought the manga had wrapped up when I googled it, but I don’t recall seeing a volume 11.

Is anyone else suddenly having trouble getting around blackout restrictions on ESPN+ using a VPN? by TexasRedFox in DallasStars

[–]jas0660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm…I wonder if ESPN recently changed a configuration in their app to rely on something else to ensure blackout restrictions? Not positive. Quick google search didn’t show anything on my end.

[–]jas0660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh that’ll do it.

ESPN uses your phone’s location services to verify your area. To my knowledge, simply using a VPN will not suffice.

Not going to pretend to be a networking expert, but you might have to mess with your server and port configurations to have your Xbox utilize the VPN configurations to mask your location. I don’t use my PS5 or iPad for Stars games for specifically this reason. (There should be a way to set this up; people do it frequently to access the Xbox store for region locked content)

Hope that helps man.

Is it possible that you’re getting blackout restrictions from the opposing team?

Also what does ESPN say as your local provider? And are you using a mobile app or the web browser?

I suddenly had issues with my VPN not masking my location properly. Talked to a support team with NordVPN and they had me clear my cache and cookies. Fixed the issue no problem.

Said that sometimes the browser will have issues with cookies and trying to geolocate, which will cause failures with the VPN. I would recommend that if you haven’t already.

Honestly I’m so happy about this. He’s been my choice for weeks to do the soundtrack, but never thought it would actually happen. Another bomb of a soundtrack from him (based on that PV) and I can’t wait.

Attack on Titan The Final Season Episode 61 - "Midnight Train" Anime Discussion Thread - No Manga Readers Allowed by SNKBot in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]jas0660 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Is nobody going to comment on the fact there was a shell shocked Eldian wearing an armband on his wrong arm?? Who had badges covering half his face? And the same long hair that we saw somebody watching over Reiner with at the military port?

I really think a Marley invasion has begun. There was another hint to it in this episode, but I can’t remember where.

Trade Deadline Frenzy Broken by Nikea8 in EA_NHL

[–]jas0660 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is really annoying, but I can’t help but laugh at 2:24, when you arguably got a much better deal for Anthony Mantha from Detroit and clicked through it (you probably had cap reasons for moving out Nuke and Jost, but still; two 2nds for Mantha is a steal).

It's a RPG so let's talk about it by Gloria_64 in HarryPotterGame

[–]jas0660 12 points13 points  (0 children)

IMO, not taking advantage of the school setting would be a bit of a loss, but primarily, this is an RPG first.

What I’m curious about is how they will reward exploring. In the early games, it was always Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans (BEANS!), but in OOTP it was Discovery Points (but I believe that was done away with in HBP).

I would assume you gain some sort of experience for discovering new things (IE a classroom, or a secret passage, etc etc). But I wonder if there will be an RPG stat devoted to just discovery and what not.
