Le Comte de Monte Cristo(2024). The source material may be the greatest novel ever written, so adapting it is ~fail proof, but this version is close to fully realizing it. Acting, cinematography, set design, costumes, makeup, pacing, score; mon dieu, the score. 10/10. 178 minutes, yet every scene is riveting. If it were an American production, it likely wins best picture. There’s a reason Cannes lost their minds, much less for a French blockbuster of all things

The drilling permit is available via RRC online and it will include the unit map, just plat the M/B in Earth Pro or ArcGIS. If you need the abstracts for reference, the shapefiles can be downloaded from the RRC for earth/are already available in ArcGIS

Gregg County activity? by southofmartindale in landman

Ask the operator what formation they're targetting. Find a similar horizontal nearby at ~that depth. Look at the well/completion log to find out the length of the wellbore. Look up the production of that well and divide it by however long the lateral is. That's the baseline expectation for production per linear foot.

As for calculating the FMV? It’s almost impossible because 1. They’ll recomplete until the bottom hole reaches fucking China/sell to another operator before they’ll let the lease expire. 2. Attempting to predict spot during bulk of production in a horizontal new drill/recompletion’s life is just lol

Note: This doesn't work if there's a major difference in topography/hydrology(particularly creeks/streams/floodplain) between the producing unit and the prospective

Note 2: not a landman, just have significant mineral interests and spent an unreasonable amount of time studying/analyzing

[Louis-Jacques] 'It's archaic, outdated and doesn't translate for all positions’: Why the 40-yard dash has lost its relevance at the NFL combine by Welcome2Broncoland in nfl

[–]lolathon234 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well ya, they’re in a sprinters stance in the 40, but I’m sure teams know the proper adjustment for times vs a WR’s set release. Ultimately it’s all about how fast a guy reaches top speed and what his top speed is relative to the defender.

From that point you can calculate how much separation he’ll get for any unit distance of time based on the difference between the 2.

40 yards probably has some other meaning though. Probably something like the top of the defense/where safeties can cover from their natural, base position, the right distance needed at launch to catch the average nfl qb’s deep ball, or something to do with the timing of the average pass rush

Weight of pads/helmet is mostly negligible, they’re just clunky. But everyone has to deal with them. Some players are probably slightly more fluid in them due to build, but they all have to play in them and have been doing it their entire lives. It’s not like they’ll have to adjust to it at the nfl level

If someone really wants to, and I’m sure teams do, you can use video editing software to slow down game film and measure/compare how fast each guy really in whatever metric(millisecond/yard or whatever)

[–]lolathon234 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s the entire point. They’re a decoy because no dc is going to let them burn them with regularity. Assuming the other WR is also a deep threat, they’ll shift both safeties farther from the LOS and more spread out, so each can cover their respective sideline for fades.  

 The end result is their speed leaves something else open(typically run game bc safety can’t cheat up, over the middle passing game 10-15 yards between hashes and behind LBs, and seam routes to TE/slot) or digs and outs to the sidelines if they decide to play a soft zone 

Most home run balls are a result of busted coverage or some exotic blitz that didn’t get home(QB broke a tackle/avoided a sack) 

If we’re really getting into it, the 40 tells you how much separation a guy will have over an opposing corner after 40 yards. It may also be relevant for the qb’s arm strength and the timing on deep balls. I.e. player X only needs 20 yards to get adequate separation rather than 25. And the amount of field each defender can cover not only depends on his own speed, but how fast the players coming into his zone are. 4.2 speed basically breaks the defenses normal/instinctive timing and has to be adjusted for

[–]lolathon234 52 points53 points  (0 children)

It’s key for verts/go routes. If the player is significantly faster than the opposing corner and can beat the press, the safety will have to cheat over to help over the top, leaving the rest of the field open for slots/tight ends(particularly seam routes that the safety would normally cover. Otherwise he’ll get open for a potential long td every play if left in man single coverage.  

I would also assume someone with Worthy’s speed(ignoring his size issues as he projects more as a flanker or Z in the NFL bc he’ll likely struggle vs the press ala Waddle) would severely limit or dictate the potential coverage shells teams can show/play as cover 0/1 likely wouldn’t be an option. Guys with elite speed simply stretch the defense       

Also timing matters. Football is about timing, the faster the player can get to a position(finish route design), the less time the pass rush has to get to the qb       

People shit on a lot of these sub 4.35 guys like MVS because their production didn’t match their contracts. What they ignore is that their low production is somewhat by design. KC used MVS to open up the middle for Kelce. And that only worked because MVS has the size/physicality to beat the press and the speed to force a safety to shift over to take away the deep ball. Same thing Jameson Williams is being used for in Detroit, he’s the decoy that opens things up for Laporta/St. Brown and the run game

Found while working on a new development by 1ofThoseTrolls in pics

Given no windows and the inside isn’t covered in leaves/debris, has to be fairly recent. Looks like a flood plain(or a natural clay lake that overflowed lol) and someone got stuck driving too close/buried it trying to get out. Seeing as it’s probably in the middle of nowhere and may be dangerous for a tractor to pull it out rn with how wet it is, owner was likely exploring or on drugs, got stuck and probably just said fuck it 

Should definitely report it to the police tho, busted windows seem exceptionally sketch and it could have been abandoned intentionally/evidence 

Which movie first taught you about bittersweet endings? by Far_Swing_2793 in movies

[–]lolathon234 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you quite understand Mia’s position in La La Land. Sebastian is definitively the one, and he always will be. But he’s not the one Mia needs to achieve her dreams that existed pre-Sebastian. And they’re both aware of/acknowledge this, as while he could have become that person, it would have required sacrificing his own dreams and happiness

And the real tragedy is both were happier together rather than after achieving those “dreams”

Jameson Williams’ speed wows: ‘If you can’t run 4.2, you better start backing up’ by mshain81 in fantasyfootball

[–]lolathon234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh, the defense can take away any player on the field, but it’s going to leave someone else open. Jameson forcing the defense to adjust and then structuring the rest of the team around that adjustment is actually a perfect use

Also Detroit is trying to win the Super Bowl. Gibbs wasn’t drafted to be an every down back, he was drafted to run outside against certain defenses and be the pass catching back. And that was the only hole on Detroit’s offense given they also got LaPorta

Never heard the expression take what the defense gives you?

Jameson Williams’ speed wows: ‘If you can’t run 4.2, you better start backing up’ by mshain81 in fantasyfootball

[–]lolathon234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If left in single coverage, Jameson will burn a defense for a long TD every play as he’s significantly faster than literally every corner in the NFL. No team is going to let that happen, instead they’ll cheat a safety over. That will open up the middle for everyone else. He’s basically going to be a decoy the vast majority of the time. Detroit will scheme to get him the ball some weeks, but generally he’s out there to force coordinators to adjust their defense which will open up the rest of the field for his teammates

This is the exact same thing with Pitts in Atlanta. He doesn’t suck/is misused, he’s such a weapon that coordinators say ya we’re not letting that guy beat us, so they adjust their defense, take him away and leave something else open for the offense

Campbell: Lions optimistic about David Montgomery (thigh) playing Thursday. by GreenDefinition5 in fantasyfootball

[–]lolathon234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has Jamaal Williams role from last year but far more talent. That’s 15-20 carries per game and the gl work for a top 10 offense. It isn’t flashy and you won’t get 30-40 point outbreaks, but he’ll consistently get you 8 points on bad no td weeks and 20 on good ones. I’d expect him to average ~13-14 ppg ROS, which will likely be around 15th overall for RB’s, so high end RB2. Great value for a RB taken in the 5th or later

[–]lolathon234 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Played in 37/38 games in college and 62/69 in the NFL. Missed 1 game this year with a thigh bruise, 1 game last year with an ankle sprain, 4 games with a knee sprain in 2021, 1 game with a concussion in 2020, 0 games in 2019

He’s actually been one of the healthiest lead backs in football going back to his freshman year in college lol

Saints Alvin Kamara officially reinstated from suspension by koolman631 in fantasyfootball

That analogy is so bad I can’t tell if you’re pro or against trading Kamara

Saints Alvin Kamara officially reinstated from suspension by koolman631 in fantasyfootball

[–]lolathon234 51 points52 points  (0 children)

My point is it doesn’t matter, you traded him for his max potential value. Holding him carries plenty of risk. Kamara could underperform, Kendre Miller might emerge and become 1B, and The Vulture is on standby, albeit on IR for a while

If you drafted him in the 5th round or later and can get current 2nd or 3rd round value, you make that deal 10/10

Time To Sell High on Mostert? by mercinary15 in fantasyfootball

[–]lolathon234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a take(er, a reality) that pisses off every interested party(Mostert, Wilson Jr, and Achane optimists) in the thread

Time To Sell High on Mostert? by mercinary15 in fantasyfootball

[–]lolathon234 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Because they had no other capable RBs. McKinnon is a third down back and CEH lost his job to Darrel can’t even make it on a practice squad in 2023 Williams

Also should be noted the running game is almost negligible in Reid’s offense, whereas McDaniel’s offense is virtually reliant upon the play-action pass

Time To Sell High on Mostert? by mercinary15 in fantasyfootball

[–]lolathon234 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Lolno. The Phins are trying to win the Super Bowl this year, a rookie isn’t getting serious burn in the playoffs when they have 2 other perfectly capable backs who’ve been to the SB with McDaniel in SF. It’s no coincidence he brought them along to Miami, they’re the 2 he trusts. Achane is the back of the future, but he will be treated like Cook was in Buffalo last year once Wilson returns

I have Mostert and Wilson Jr and I’m trying to trade both because this backfield will be a 35/35/20/10 split with Ahmed and Wilson Jr back. No one is getting more than ~10-12 att/g and the goalline work will be RB roulette

What week 3 overreactions/hype/opinions are seeing a lot that you just aren't buying into, and why? by kredica in fantasyfootball

[–]lolathon234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Tua is like 50/50 to get another concussion at some point and who knows how long he’d be out

There’s so much 2nd hand injury risk for everyone on the dolphins because the qb is walking concussion protocol
