I mean the DB is to blame for improper defense but it makes me eyeroll every time that deep ball DPI gets called on an underthrown pass that is uncatchable. And that seems to happen a lot in those situations.

Well there's a chance at least.

Browns really needed that safety in the first half where they had him and instead they let him get the throw off into a massive DPI flag

My fantasy playoff hopes depend on Cousins not being hot garbage tonight so congrats to the Bears

Same. I have Cousins, Henderson and Myles Garrett vs Gibson, Goedert, Jonathan Abram and 11 points.

I'm projected to lose by 4 points but defensive player projections are always a crapshoot (Our league does 1 DL, 1 LB, 1 DB). Offensive players only project me to win by 1.

Edit: And Abram has 2 solo tackles on the first drive which is terrible for me. Argh.

Primetime Cousins vs zero starting defensive backs for the Bears. Something has to give!

dang i was actually gonna pick the Texans until i saw Mills was starting

That was my exact train of thought

I play on a private server that replicates the 75 era. I don't know why I would do it to myself considering I have soloed from level 1 to 60 so far.

It's called Wings if anyone is a masochist like me. Although honestly if you party it's not terrible I don't think, like 15-30k per hour. I just didn't want to deal with people I didn't know.

I deliberately picked the smallest auditorium in the cinema to try avoid that. I don't mind it in small doses but some people are way over the top with it. I think the one I picked out had like 5 rows / 40 seats.

Change to Eagles

Honestly though, the team that played better did not win this game.

The Chargers let this one get away.

@ShatteredElysium Well we actually got out of 12th, now we're 11!

...For now.

And a Patriots win as picks currently stand moves it from a 5 way tie for 11th to a 6 way tie for 9th.

Things have gotten a lot tighter recently.

A Colts win puts us exactly where we started: A 4 way tie for 12th.

I'm not even counting the other Saturday game at the moment. The Browns may not even be able to field a team.

I don't think I'd feel safe even with a couple of games buffer. Feels like I'm always one bad week from dropping out of the playoff spots and being unable to recover

Was married to my first wife for 7 years although we separated after 5. I think the entire relationship from start to separation was almost 9 years.

I've been my second and hopefully last wife now for 5 years and married for 8 months.

I bought my car over a year ago and this is all new to me. What happened to make this trend happen?

Supply shortage on certain parts.

We are a sizeable company (~1000 employees in the US) and we could not find work vans to give to new hires or to replace older ones in the field. We have the ridiculous scenario where we are literally replacing engines and transmissions in work vans because we can't get replacements. We had like a 6 month stint in Hawaii where we couldn't buy the guy a van and we couldn't rent a vehicle because there just wasn't any.

Yeah, my friend just traded in a 4 year old vehicle and got the same price for it that he paid for it 4 years ago.

I bought a 2014 Mercedes SLK in 2017. When I traded it in like 6 months ago, it had only depreciated 6k in value which was a pleasant surprise since it needed ~3k of immediate work at least. I bought a new car and was happy to get slightly below MSRP since basically everything is marked up to hell right now

Highly recommend selling it. You can get a lot for a used Pro right now.

That's crazy, just checked eBay and it looks like the Death Stranding edition sells for like $400+. I only paid $300 for mine. May sell it and replace it with another PS5 at some point down the line.

Yes got one at release.

I've bought 7 total but 6 were for friends (I made zero profit from it, I wasn't scalping them). Not sure what it's like now but it used to be really easy to get them on Walmart drops if you knew what you were doing. I could basically guarantee at least 2 per drop. I could have gotten more but they would cancel the 3rd one onwards. I'd imagine if you had multiple Walmart accounts you could bypass that.

Yes but they always seem expensive for what they are.

It's never going to go away. We're all eventually just going to have to go about life as if nothing is any different. Which, really, we mostly have already.

Pretty much this. In Florida it's basically been this way since June 2020 apart from masks. Masks stopped being worn a long time ago too though. I was genuinely surprised when I went to Asheville a few weeks back and they still had a mask mandate in place. I know it's Florida but for some reason I had it in my head that most places had gone back to normal by now.

Realistically though this is just going to be an endemic. I think there's always going to be some sort of COVID going around and we are just going to have to deal with boosters and masks being prevalent (but likely optional) in the future. I'd guess eventually it will get down to being a milder form but then every now and again a more deadly variant will pop up like with the flu (but obviously COVID is more serious than the flu)

You're tracking Crescent. A 2 loss week when already in 12th is no movement this week?

Oh hey, boys names 1 and 2 are the same as 2 of my brothers but neither are babies (1 is 37 and the other 16). My niece is 3 on the list.

I guess my name and my other brothers name are fairly close to 4 and 5 but not really (Luke and Ellis). Looks like Luke is 32 on the list but Ellis isn't there. Neither of my sisters are on the list.

So after a quick check I've discovered that 7-1 gets me virtually nowhere. I barely cling onto 12th at 7-1 right now and I'm already tied for 12th.

Ok so your 8-0 with how far back you are does almost nothing.

Also if SF wins Terp goes 14-0, and I can go 12-2 and drop out of 12th outright.

It basically took that entire 7-0 just to make up for the Steelers.

Oh hey, you did the work for me. I think I am also 7-1 and 12th

I guess its because it came out towards the end of the life cycle but I am always amazed that I've never seen anyone else with a PSP GO. I have both the original PSP and a GO and I only ever use the GO. Given how PSPs were used and the complaints about UMDs, I'd have thought the GO would have gotten more love.

I always use TickPick. It's the same as all the other sites except the price it displays is the actual final price you pay. No added fees or added bullshit. It usually works out cheaper than the other sites because of that. I've never had an issue with tickets from there but I've also never had an issue with tickets from any of those sites.

The tickets are usually already uploaded. I believe it specifies if they aren't

Yeah the most mind boggling thing about insurance is that you still have to pay when you use it. Maybe because I'm originally from England so I'm used to free healthcare but it was a pretty big culture shock to know I have to pay for insurance and then I still may have to pay thousands even with it.

It also feels like a massive scam when there's times I have to pay more to use my insurance than if I tell them I'll pay out of pocket. Like that should literally never be a thing where it costs me more because I have insurance.

Yeah that shouldn't have been allowed in the first place. Shit is already stacked enough in favor of the offense.
