What kind of cashier loses their job over being a few dollars down one time.

Unless everyone is implying that they do this often, in which case maybe being a cashier isn't the best idea in the first place.

Bad breath generally only affects the people that are very close to the offender, or that are talking to them, whereas body odour can linger throughout an entire room.

I think bad breath smells worse, but bad body odour affects more people negatively.

Went to the Toronto Fan Expo today. Blizzard had a section there with some pins you got for playing each of their games. Decided to play a game against a random dude (whom I beat) and got that pin, which is Dr. Boom.

Even got to chat with Jesse Hill, one of the Hearthstone community managers for a while.


I was there too! I wanted the pin, but I couldn't justify waiting in line to play games that I could play at home, especially when there was so much else to see.

The Overwatch line was particularly long, and I couldn't believe it.


when we're you there? I was there mid afternoon on saturday and there were only half a dozen people in front of me.


I was there Saturday as well, but my main goal was to get my comics signed and see everything in Artist Alley, so between those, plus making sure I at least walked through both buildings at least once, and lunch, a 10 person Hearthstone line wasn't on the list of priorities.

It's much better than Revival, but Revival represents the lowest bar out there.

I think it's pretty good overall. His rapping here is better than it's been in awhile, and as someone who has moved away from the Rap genre as a whole because of my dislike of modern Rap, some of the points he makes kind of speak to me.

I think most of the hooks are garbage, though, and while most of the songs are good, they're "wow, this was interesting to listen to" good, rather than "I will put this on my playlist and continue to listen to it" good, if that makes sense.

I used to be the biggest Stan in the world too, and desperately miss the old Eminem. There are very brief flashes of it here, but after his last few albums, especially with Revival, I basically gave up on him, which sucks.

Batman #51, with a raw signature from Snyder/Capullo, is probably the comic that means the most to me, with it being the end of one of my favourite runs and also my favourite Batman cover, so that could be a good choice in terms of grading for the sake of preservation.

The Batman/Elmer Fudd with a Tom King drawing is a cool thing to bring out down the line and say "hey look what Tom King did to my book", though.

It's definitely between those two then, since the Darth Vader doesn't have any personal meaning to me.

I kind of want to get a book graded at my upcoming comic con this weekend just to have one, but I don't really own anything of value.

I'm debating between Darth Vader #3 (first appearance of Aphra), just because it's one of the only books I have that seems to sell for more than $5-$10, or the Batman/Elmer Fudd special that I plan on getting signed by Tom King because he always does a dumb drawing on the entire cover and it'd be cool to preserve it.

I also have a bunch of signed books from Snyder/Capullo but none of them are inherently valuable and I didn't realize until recently that there was a difference between a raw signature and a graded signature.

I don't have any plans to sell them, I just like the look of graded stuff and the case they put the book in.

Any thoughts?

I muted the word "Marvel" and the name of every superhero in the movie on all social media platforms because I was watching the movie 5 days after it's initial release.

Even then, I still seen a bunch of disintegration memes, albeit without context. Somehow, none of the memes I seen actually featured characters from the movie. All I knew was that it was a thing that existed, and that it had to have come from something new and big that came out that week. I figured it was from the movie, but had no idea when or where.

Not sure how you managed to stay mostly spoiler free for this long!

I actually wish I had any good memories of the faction at all. I came back in after they had already split up and so I only have affiliation with the individual members. The theme to me is strictly Roman's theme and so I feel nothing when something like this happens. All I want is Seth and Dean to stay as far away from Roman as possible, because it's easy to ignore a single segment and a match, whereas having them always together makes it more difficult.

Another very important thing is does your league do Points Per Reception (PPR) scoring? Usually it's 1PPR, 0.5PPR, or 0 ("Standard")


Yahoo actually has started using 0.5 PPR as their standard, however if you're in a league that has been going on for a few years, they still might be using 0, or a different amount altogether.

This also assumes you're playing on Yahoo.

Does anyone have any recommendations to read up on draft priorities and the such? I've never done fantasy football before.


Draft defense and kickers last (unless your league does individual defensive players, which I have no experience with)

Don't take a QB in the first few rounds. Newbies tend to overvalue them and the advantage of having the #1 QB compared to the #12 QB is smaller than the relative advantage of having the #1 RB or WR compared to the 2nd tier.

I'm no pro but that's some basic advice that's probably helpful.


This is all good advice.

I wouldn't worry about bye weeks early on in the draft. The goal is to stack up on the best talent available. Your team may look completely different with injuries and trades by week 10, so don't worry if both your RB have the same bye week.

If you're interested in doing some reading, Yahoo has a hub article that links to all of their rankings and other potentially interesting articles on sleepers/busts, etc.

https://sports.yahoo.com/yahoos-2018-fantasy-football-draft-kit-rankings-sleepers-busts-221650878.html

I just did my first (of three) drafts earlier tonight for a money league, and the above link definitely helped me out.
