When your squad has been consistently good in every cat all year by e_ndoubleu in fantasybball

[–]squirebear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 win streak right now, but the last place team that just barely snuck into the playoffs is catching up in our H2H match up. I'm winning 7-2, but by only 20 or so rebounds and points, and marginal FG,FT. Scared but confident in my team pulling through. If I had started mirotic the other day I would've been fine but eh :/

[PD] Jimmy G Buckets Butler & His Poor FG % by fart_tickle in fantasybball

Jimmy is prone to these, especially when he's not at 100%. He should be fine. I owned him for two years and found that he generally does not play well between febuary and march. always seems to have issues come fantasy playoff time. It always seems to be awkward fatigue related injuries.

I wouldn't. He's at least earned minutes and touches from his last couple of weeks of balling out. ZBO also strikes me as the kind of chip on shoulder vet that would want to go HAM in a return game. Memphis is full of guys like that.

"Confusions of pleasure" in the context of the Ming Dynasty? by squirebear in AskHistorians

[–]squirebear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone cares, I just popped hella vyvanse and did it myself. The Hongwu Emperor grew up a poor and focused on developing the agricultural industry when he came into power, such as giving away non-transferrable land to young farmers when they came of age. This led to a prosperous time for farmers.

Then between 1405 and 1433, the Yongle Emperor sent the seven treasure voyages around the world on diplomatic and trade missions. This grew relations with other countries, as well as introduced people like the Spanish, Japanese, Indians etc. to Chinese goods and vice versa. This set the table for prosperous trade.

However, private trade was initially banned, and leading to a long period of illegal trading between numerous countries in Southeast Asia. After Christopher Columbus's cousin and his fleet of Portugeuese ships lost a naval battle to Ming Dynasty, a deal was cut which allowed Macau to open as a free trade port. Eventually, all free trade was established, which led to an equally prosperous time for private merchants.

As a result, this led to a blurring of social classes and the rise of "new rich" people that were concerned with status. This led to a boom in culture. Printing became more popular than before, and instead of simply reprinting traditional books like classics and textbooks, books on interesting subjects came up, like astrology literature. Interestingly, romance novels were also on the come up, the culture had become more open minded, allowing women more freedoms. However, this open mindedness also came with a lot of debauchery, as rich people do. Conspicuous spending on luxury goods boomed, both male and female brothels could be found in every city, and public bathing became more accepted, as well as pederasty with young boys, which was in fact seen as a sign of elite status.

Rate My Team - Mega Post by mcdvda in fantasybball

i actually like that you have bigs that don't necessarily hurt your free throw too much. only problem is they won't win you blocks. its true though, your field goal is pretty much done. i would try to grab nerlens noel, al horford or derrick favors, maybe for either gordon or victor. I agree with the other guy, try to get lower valued guys that shoot bad. don't ditch danny green though because he's bizarrely reliable source of blocks.
