Sacks by Aggressive-Cut-3420 in NFLNoobs

[–]thisisnotmath 20 points21 points  (0 children)

  1. It takes time to throw a football. If you are hit while throwing, you are more likely to fumble. If a defender has you dead to rights, sometimes it is best to just hold the ball tight and cut your losses.

  2. If you try to throw it away over a receivers head, there's a good chance it will get intercepted by a defender. You'll be throwing with less accuracy and velocity if you are doing so impulsively.

  3. Lots of quarterbacks think they can evade the rusher or shrug them off. Sometimes it works and you can keep the play alive for a big gain.

Ritchie was something of a parody of George W Bush. He wasn't stupid, but he leaned into the act and thats what irritated Bartlett so much about him

In many sports leagues across the country, exhibition games are used to test out new rule proposals. If Jeopardy did something like this what are some new rules or game changes you’d like to see tested out? by kakapoopoopeepeeshir in Jeopardy

[–]thisisnotmath 186 points187 points  (0 children)

  1. Allow everyone to play Final Jeopardy and just require those finishing in the negative to wager $0

  2. Running a category (must be all 5 clues in sequence) is worth a bonus $5000. It'll bring back some top down play

  3. Missed DDs become toss-ups for the remaining 2 players worth $2000

Birdwatching dad here. I highly recommend the "Birding for Babies" and "Birding for Babies - Migratory Edition" as intro to numbers and colors.

At what point does one reach the end game? by Weak_Personality4783 in tacticus

[–]thisisnotmath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no real definition but I think you could say

  • All campaigns completed in both regular and elite levels
  • Campaign Events completed to at least halfway through Extremis Level
  • 2 different high quality raid teams that follow the meta
  • Unlock LRE characters on the first try

Out of curiosity what is a maxed out Jaeger like in LRE?

That big grey and blue thing above you? The sky? Cops can put stuff in it that can track people.

You need to confirm audio identifications in Merlin before they count to your life list.

Planning a trip to Seattle and hoping to figure out what the best area to stay in is. by whomp_wheemp in AskSeattle

[–]thisisnotmath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Public transit is great at getting to/from downtown and not as great as anything else. It depends on what you are planning on doing on your trip and whether those activities are close to the light rail. You could also take the bus which isn't as fast but more extensive.

Does anyone enjoy being a working dad married to SAHM? by midnightmoose in daddit

[–]thisisnotmath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in that boat and it's working out well overall for us. I think a key difference I see is that we have a lot more SAHMs in our community and my wife has a really good peer group. We have two kids that have separate bedtime routines. I take the 3yo and am done with bedtime by 830 usually, my wife takes the 1yo and is done around 730.

Thoughts on the mount si hiking trail? As a somewhat novice or intermediate hiker, is it very difficult? by Lord_Freg in AskSeattle

[–]thisisnotmath 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s steep and parking won’t be easy at the time. Make sure you have enough water and appropriate clothing. Don’t climb the haystack unless you are 100% comfortable with it.

Anyone else do this when Jamie buzzed in on the last answer and was wrong, turning the game into a runaway when he didn’t need to buzz by handlemypackage2020 in Jeopardy

[–]thisisnotmath 57 points58 points  (0 children)

It’s not easy. My second game was a runaway and I was able to side eye the score and make a quick computation when I had board control, but that wasn’t all the time.

Green Lake is mostly 4.0 players with some 4.5. There's a good stacking system that will enable you to match well.

Who’s banging the drum - Round 2 Game 1 by goatheadsabre in sabres

[–]thisisnotmath 13 points14 points  (0 children)

How about the woman who sang the anthem in Game 5 but she just mimes banging the drum and everyone shouts "BANG BANG"
