I have 3 pieces of land that I can heal with LOH orbs I have bubbled, but I wanted to hold off just in case. I needs thise 3 squares though! š¤£ FYI, I'm in the midst of bubbling so please don't mind the mess!! submitted by sha_mae8621 to MergeDragons [link] [comments] |
2023.03.28 14:22 Wizardmon53 Day 36 - when will the side effects go away??
I was prescribed 10mg Prozac for GAD and panic disorder. At the end of January, I had a bad panic episode that caused me to spiral very hard. I had smaller episodes in early February, and it became apparent that most of my thoughts were about panic, which led to the decision to hop on an SSRI (among other things like yoga, meditation, therapy / EMDR).
Day 1 - 6 I was on 10 mg, but the side effects were SEVERE. I could feel my nervous system was on FIRE, and it was debilitating. It was very painful and uncomfortable, and all I could really do was push through moment to moment, lay on the couch, and cry.
Day 7 - 36 I cut down to 5 mg, after consulting my doctor. The side effects have improved, but I still feel the acute anxiety, and my nervous system still has moments where it feels like itās on fire again (far less severe).
I can tell my anxiety is heightened because stuff that used to not cause me much anxiety (like going out with friends / spending time with loved ones), Iām far more anxious about. Itās caused me to take a break in my long-term relationship so that Iām able to just relax and not feel the pressure to go out, do things, perform, etc. Iām grateful for that, but Iām also a very social and effervescent person, so itās just scary this sort of 180 Iām experiencing. It makes me sad that even going to see a movie with my partner has me very anxious (anxious about panic, that Iām somehow getting worse, all the typical intrusive thoughts).
Iām scared about going back up to 10mg because I have a lot of important events coming up in the next month where I canāt afford to be debilitated on the couch.
When does the added anxiety go away? When will this actually start calming me down?
Sending you all good, good energy. Thank you for reading.

2023.03.28 14:22 BiomechPhoenix Star Trek and Star Wars space combat are broadly on the same level
For the record: "Broadly on the same level" means "It is reasonable to construct battleboarding scenarios involving ships from these two settings".
A few common counter-arguments, and my rebuttals. Please add any others you can think of?
"Star Trek ships are immune to lasers! They won't even get through navigational shields!"
Star Wars laser weapons do not fire laser beams. They use a laser to energize gas into a projectile. The weapon would not be considered a laser weapon by Star Trek standards and is therefore not subject to this line. Furthermore, mainstream Star Wars and Star Trek weapons of comparable sizes and roles (i.e. those used by the Empire, Federation, or peer or near-peer powers to either) have consistently shown vaguely comparable effects, implying power outputs within one to two orders of magnitude, on both smaller and larger scales; this applies against both human and nonhuman targets.
"Transporter boarding / teleporting in a warhead!"
Star Wars ships of any meaningful size have shields. Transporting a boarding crew, or a weapon, onto the enemy's bridge only works if the enemy's shield frequency is known or the enemy's shields are down. Neither of these apply in this situation.
"Star Trek ships vastly outrange Star Wars ships!"
It is true that Star Wars ships fight at very close ranges for outer space. However, in all settings except TOS/TAS (notably, all settings created since Star Wars first aired), Star Trek ships also fight at very close ranges. This is a consistent pattern across all time periods, and across all series except TOS/TAS including later alternate continuities / spinoffs to those series, with no significant exceptions I could find. For many examples:
Furthermore, and very importantly, many of these battles are being commanded by characters who are competent naval officers of various different allegiances and the distance of engagement is decided by these, including in situations where engaging at a greater range would confer significant tactical advantage. Because of this, and particularly because we know that these characters, in-universe, are trained and considered competent at the task of commanding in naval engagements, and because this is a systemic and recurring theme across many time periods and many series, the argument that these choices are individual mistakes must be rejected, and we must conclude that either
"Star Wars weapons vastly out-power Star Trek weapons!"
Star Trek personal weapons consistently perform on broadly the same level as Star Wars personal weapons against humanoid and inanimate targets, specifically, damaging to disintegrating them with no collateral damage. It follows that larger scale weapons built on similar technologies would also be broadly comparable.
See also the point below regarding supplementary tech manuals.
"Star Trek tech is vastly more advanced than Star Wars tech!"
Star Trek tech ranges from, technically, the Salyut 3 armed space station (before the point of divergence between reality and Star Trek) to the Enterprise-J) from the distant future. The Salyut 3 is self evidently lower tech than Star Wars spacecraft. It follows from the pigeonhole principle that either all Star Trek ships must be lower tech than Star Wars ships or that there exist Star Trek ships that are both lower-tech and higher-tech than Star Wars ships. In the latter case, given continuous development, there existed a moment in the Star Trek continuity where its ships were at an equivalent tech level to Star Wars ships. (Note that tech development is not linear and this may have been several points in time for different technologies, e.g. shields, construction materials, etc etc.; what is important is that there was a point where the two settings, if challenged to make a ship of a certain tonnage, would create ships of roughly equivalent capability and/or ships that would fight to a draw if set against each other.)
"A supplementary tech manual gives clearly superior stats to Star Trek / Star Wars!"
Supplementary material is secondary to what is shown on screen. In both series, it forms a lower tier of canon. Even if this was not so, it can and should be rejected if it contradicts what is consistently shown on screen.

This is a consistent pattern across all time periods, and across all series except TOS/TAS including later alternate continuities / spinoffs to those series, with no significant exceptions I could find. For many examples:
- Reliant's attack / Mutara Nebula (part 1 showing one of the longest ranged shots here)
- Battle of Khitomer
- 1701-D versus Borg Cube
- Battle of Sector 001 (short range is backed up in dialogue as well -- ramming is not practical at long ranges)
- Battle of the Bassen Rift (range is so short that blind-firing is able to find the target)
- DS9, Odyssey vs. Dominion ships
- DS9, Battle for Cardassia
- Voyager, S4E14
- I don't have a video link, but Enterprise, Episode 2 (Broken Bow, Part 2)
- Enterprise, Episode 9
- Enterprise, Episode 12 (range explicitly less than 10 km)
- Star Trek (2009), Enterprise vs. missiles
- Star Trek: Into Darkness, Vengeance vs. Enterprise
- Strange New Worlds, Episode 6 (I wasn't even searching for this but I found it on accident)

- There are massive, systemic issues with training that lead commanders of many different factions to engage in naval warfare at dangerously close ranges for no good reason, or
- The ranges involved are ideal and expected ranges for space combat with Star Trek weapons, and closing to them is the optimal choice already.

2023.03.28 14:19 livelifereal IPL 2023 Season Preview Part 6: Punjab Kings
 | This 10-part series strives to be cricket's build-up to IPL 2023. The idea is to provide meticulous, team-wise previews that include every essential detail a fan needs to have. submitted by livelifereal to Cricket [link] [comments] Delhi CapitalsChennai Super KingsMumbai IndiansSunrisers HyderabadRoyal Challengers BangalorePunjab KingsRajasthan RoyalsLucknow Super GiantsKolkata Knight RidersGujarat Titans - (These links will be updated as every subsequent part is published) Punjab KingsOwners: KPH Dream Cricket Private LimitedHome Grounds:- 1. IS Bindra PCA Stadium, Mohali; 2. HPCA Stadium, Dharmshala Captain: Shikhar Dhawan Coaching Staff: (only major names)
Recap of 2022Finishing Position: 6thPlayed: 14, Won: 7, Lost: 7 For the fourth consecutive year PBKS finished 6th on the table. Yet, in many ways, the 2022 season was better than the previous ones. Goes without saying that finishing 6th among 10 teams is better than finishing 6th among 8 teams. But it was the way Punjab played. They adopted an enthralling "all-guns-blazing" approach with the bat and very often got off to great starts. However, they also frequently found themselves running out of gas with tail-enders left to make the most off the last 3-4 overs. To a great extent, representing a pattern in which the team's performance and the emotions of fans - from the auctions to the end of the league stage - have generally flown over the years.
Preface to 2023
Yet, despite all these good things, there seems to be an undertone of cynicism among the Punjab Kings' fans. Perhaps because they've seen this a few times now. A new season, a promise and hope of a new beginning, a new captain, a new coach, yet somehow it all ends the same. It's been 8 long years since PBKS last made the playoffs. Will something really change this time around? It's the hope that keeps you hooked.
It'd the same old \"red and gold\" for PBKS this year too. Jitesh Sharma sporting the jersey during a shoot.
Punjab Kings' Home Fixtures for IPL 2023 Punjab Kings' away fixtures for IPL 2023
Team for IPL 2023
Likely First Choice XI: 1. Shikhar Dhawan (c) 2. Prabhsimran Singh 3. Bhanuka Rajapaksaāļø/Mathew Shortāļø 4. Liam Livingstoneāļø 5. Jitesh Sharma (wk) 6. Shahrukh Khan 7. Sam Curranāļø 8. Rishi Dhawan/Harpreet Brar 9. Rahul Chahar 10. Kagiso Rabadaāļø 11. Arshdeep Singh. IP Options: Raj Bawa, Vidwath Kaverapp, Harpreet Bhatia. (Note: Impact player cannot be an overseas player if there are already 4 overseas players in the playing XI)
(ii) A potent bowling attack: On paper, Punjab Kings' have a formidable T20 bowling line-up. With Rabada, Curran, Arshdeep and Ellis in their team, they're never running out of competent death bowling options. In fact, with some swing on offer, this quartet starts to look ferocious. Add to that the underrated leg spinner Rahul Chahar. An average of 23 combined with an economy of 7.3 over 90 matches tells you that he's a wonderful option in T20 cricket. Their backups aren't shallow either. Vidwath Kaverapp had a breakthrough season this SMAT picking up 18 wickets in 8 matches with an economy of under 7. In the same tournament, Rishi Dhawan and Baltej Singh too were the stand out bowlers for their respective teams. Whereas, Sikander Raza has been in the prime form of his life with both bat and ball. (iii) Finishing Potential and Batting Depth: Throughout the last season, Punjab yearned for a finisher who could take it deep. Often they had their tail-enders scraping through in the last quarter of the innings. While he had impressive cameos, Jitesh Sharma wasn't finishing the games for them. However, he seems to have worked on it. In the SMAT 2022/23, Jitesh scored over 250 runs with a 175-strike rate and importantly stayed not out 6 out of 10 times to guide his team home. Add to that the augmented batting depth that the presence of Curran and others will bring, this now seems to be an area of strength for PBKS.
(iii) A chunk of inexperience: The make up of their side means that PBKS will constantly have to feature 3 to 4 uncapped players in their XI. While they have a talented bunch, in the cutthroat pressure that the IPL brings, experience is worth its weight in gold. Hence, the team's chances would depend a lot on how well are youngsters mentored and their capability to handle tough situations. Game Plan: Possible Punts

On August 10, 2020, ABC Studios was folded into ABC Signature.1st Logo (placeholder logo) (May-September 23, 2007)Logo: On a white background, a black ABC circle (in the 1988-2007 style) iris in on the left with the text "studios" in the same font as the ABC logo, with a shadow effect rises up from the middle of the screen on the right side of the logo. Technique: 2D animation. Music/Sounds: None. Availability: Rare. Appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, season 2 of Kyle XY, and some ABC summer programs in 2007. 2nd Logo (Start Here) (September 24, 2007-March 18, 2014)https://preview.redd.it/g7cxhvi12hqa1.png?width=534&format=png&auto=webp&s=d4afc5eeac415e36fd9db8999079c93871130294https://preview.redd.it/afm5dlx12hqa1.png?width=425&format=png&auto=webp&s=4d972416ebaf656f84ecc54b263ab4c1aaa46092 https://preview.redd.it/rwol9gb22hqa1.png?width=397&format=png&auto=webp&s=cc1eef302780229c5aba8819ab1b5daa6b73ba45 Logo: On a white/silver background, we see silhouettes of people working in a studio, carrying ladders, cameras, etc. As one of them strikes a clapperboard, we rapidly zoom past the workers into the lens of a camera, which overtakes the screen. There we see the ABC logo, in 3D with a "glossy" texture, with "studios" next to it, in a dark background with a small blue streak passing by, similar to the "Start Here" graphics from the 2007 fall season. Trivia:
Music/Sounds: A bass drum "boom" heard simultaneously with the clapperboard, then an uplifting, 5-note orchestration, mixed with chimes. This was composed by John Debney. The first four notes are from the ABC jingle that been used between 1998 and 2021. Original network airings along with CBS and The CW airings use their generic themes. Music/Sounds Variants:

2023.03.28 14:16 Alaazaal96 RAMADAN DECORATION
Ramadan used to be solely focused on the sacrificial parts, prayer nights, and special occasions for breaking the fast with friends and family. Although the fundamentals have not changed, ideas have been evolving together with the times. There is no shortage of Ramadan house decoration ideas throughout the holy month and the specific Eid celebration due to the growth of Ramadan and Eid in the era of social media and growing commercialization. https://jordan-travel.com/ramadan-decoration/
For Ramadan, Muslims all across the world adorn their houses and burn candles. The classic fanous or fanoos lantern is used to illuminate streets, shopping centers, hotels, workplaces, and homes during Ramadan. The fanoos spreads joy and has become an international symbol of the holy month. One may also utilize decorative lights like wall lamps, ceiling lamps, LED decorative lights, string lights, floor lamps, and outdoor lighting as part of the Ramadan decorating ideas for offices.
2. Scented candlesā for easy Ramadan decoration
Candles not only provide a nice light, but they may also lift someoneās spirits. Scented candles are a great way to make the room seem more welcoming and spiritual throughout Ramadan, whether itās with the deep perfume of fresh lavender or the sweet, flowery notes of roses and peonies. One can light a few of them in their house or place of business and let the calming scent uplift their mood. https://jordan-travel.com/ramadan-decoration/
3. Balloons for quick Ramadan
One might choose balloon decorations for their residential or working area during Ramadan. Building balloon-based arrangements and themed forms for backdrops, ceilings, walls, columns, centerpieces, and entrances are examples of balloon decorations. The most basic pattern is to haphazardly arrange balloons of different shapes and colors on a wall. https://jordan-travel.com/ramadan-decoration/
4. Handcrafted rugs & carpets
The perfect time to redecorate and decorate the home to create a festive atmosphere is during Ramadan. One may use carpets and rugs to give their house a vintage feel throughout Ramadan. You may choose from a variety of patterns, such as hand-tufted carpets, shaggy rugs, and oriental rugs. Also, one should inspect the rest of the house and replace or fix any damaged furnishings. https://jordan-travel.com/ramadan-decoration/
HOW TO DECORATE HOMES AND OFFICES DURING RAMADAN?
The traditional Ramadan decorations include festive wreaths, hanging bright lanterns, preparing the table, and adding a carpet for an Arabian feel. Muslims can buy traditional or modern decorations for Ramadan from neighboring shops or internet marketplaces. The majority of decorations may be bought for reasonable prices while yet preserving the holiday seasonās attractiveness. The decorations aid in boosting oneās spirits and preserving a friendly atmosphere over the extended Ramadan fasting days. Here are some creative Ramadan dĆ©cor ideas to help you get your house or business ready for the month-long festival while standing out from other decorations.
RAMADAN WREATH AT THE ENTRANCE
Muslim homes are adorned with a gorgeous wreath during the holy month of Ramadan. Wreaths during Ramadan can be manufactured at home or bought from shops or internet marketplaces. To create a sense of elegance, a Ramadan Mubarak wood sign can be positioned in between the wreaths. Family members who are coming over for iftar will feel better after seeing the entryway. https://jordan-travel.com/ramadan-decoration/
IFTAR TABLE DECORATION
During Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which requires them to fast from sunrise until sunset, comes to an end. On the day of prayer and charity, friends and family get together to exchange presents and enjoy traditional fare. The iftar and Eid tables, however, serve more than simply food. It is possible to select suitable tablecloths, gleaming cutlery, and fragrant candles with earthy tones. Dates, dried fruits, and nuts should be kept in separate silver containers for added appeal. https://jordan-travel.com/ramadan-decoration/
STREET DECORATIONS IDEAS
Ramadan is celebrated as a significant month in the Islamic calendar and has its origins in Jordan. Experts in Jordan argue that despite the new trendās influence on consumption in society, people shouldnāt overlook the monthās spiritual significance. Yet, the nation observes nationwide festivals and decorations to keep the holiday mood alive. Little handcrafted fanoos of all sizes, live food preparation for iftar, and traditional Arabian lights in historic souks and homes all beautify the streets for Ramadan.

Here are some creative Ramadan dĆ©cor ideas to help you get your house or business ready for the month-long festival while standing out from other decorations.
RAMADAN WREATH AT THE ENTRANCE
Muslim homes are adorned with a gorgeous wreath during the holy month of Ramadan. Wreaths during Ramadan can be manufactured at home or bought from shops or internet marketplaces. To create a sense of elegance, a Ramadan Mubarak wood sign can be positioned in between the wreaths. Family members who are coming over for iftar will feel better after seeing the entryway. https://jordan-travel.com/ramadan-decoration/
IFTAR TABLE DECORATION
During Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which requires them to fast from sunrise until sunset, comes to an end. On the day of prayer and charity, friends and family get together to exchange presents and enjoy traditional fare. The iftar and Eid tables, however, serve more than simply food. It is possible to select suitable tablecloths, gleaming cutlery, and fragrant candles with earthy tones. Dates, dried fruits, and nuts should be kept in separate silver containers for added appeal. https://jordan-travel.com/ramadan-decoration/
STREET DECORATIONS IDEAS
Ramadan is celebrated as a significant month in the Islamic calendar and has its origins in Jordan. Experts in Jordan argue that despite the new trendās influence on consumption in society, people shouldnāt overlook the monthās spiritual significance. Yet, the nation observes nationwide festivals and decorations to keep the holiday mood alive. Little handcrafted fanoos of all sizes, live food preparation for iftar, and traditional Arabian lights in historic souks and homes all beautify the streets for Ramadan.

2023.03.28 14:16 Then_Marionberry_259 MAR 28, 2023 SIC.V BENTON AND SOKOMAN ANNOUNCE EXPLORATION UPDATE FOR KRAKEN LITHIUM AND HYDRA CESIUM DISCOVERIES IN SOUTHWESTERN NEWFOUNDLAND
 | https://preview.redd.it/fa7yaov52hqa1.png?width=3500&format=png&auto=webp&s=d2a6b1d51249e8bf1633cacae00fb262817462e4 submitted by Then_Marionberry_259 to Treaty_Creek [link] [comments] Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 28, 2023) - Benton Resources Inc. (TSXV: BEX) ("Benton") and Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) ("Sokoman") together, (the "Alliance") are pleased to provide an exploration update and outline immediate plans for the 50-50 Golden Hope Joint Venture (GHJV). The GHJV was formed by the Alliance in 2021 to explore the mineral potential of an underexplored structural belt of rocks in southwestern Newfoundland hosting past-producing gold operations. Within the first week of exploration, the Alliance had discovered the very first hard rock lithium dyke on the Island, and in the fall of 2022, the Alliance discovered the very first cesium-rich dyke. These two areas of high-grade mineralization are now known as the Kraken Lithium Pegmatite Field and the Hydra Dyke. Prospecting, trenching, mapping, soil geochemistry, and three (3) phases of diamond drilling during the 2021 and 2022 field seasons, have resulted in multiple new discoveries which remain wide open for expansion. Golden Hope JV Project - Kraken Lithium Pegmatite Field to Hydra Dyke https://preview.redd.it/hh9cebz52hqa1.jpg?width=1476&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd2f636c601c5583e802612fb6d8616c8862923e The Alliance would like to report that it has also renewed and received approval for its camp permits along with continued exploration permits for the entire GHJV land position. These permits allow for a fourth phase diamond drilling program consisting of a minimum of 5,000 metres along with prospecting, soil sampling, and geological mapping along the highly-favourable trend. The fourth phase, 5,000-metre drill program is anticipated to start within the next few weeks and camp preparation will start as soon as next week. Highlights from earlier phases of drilling at the Kraken Lithium Pegmatite Field have returned very promising results including:
Stephen Stares, President and CEO of Benton, says: "We are extremely excited to kick off the field season at the GHJV and I'm confident that we'll have another successful year on this newly discovered Lithium-Cesium belt. With our large land position, high demand for these much-needed critical metals and rapidly growing concerns to cut harmful emissions, Benton and Sokoman are truly in a rare position to unlock Newfoundland's potential for LTC-type pegmatite discoveries while increasing shareholder value." Tim Froude, President and CEO of Sokoman, says: "The 2023 exploration program at the GHJV is arguably one of the most important programs we will undertake. The results to date, from an area with no previous critical metal history, have already demonstrated the district-scale potential of the project. The 4 km long untested soil geochemical anomaly, directly on trend from our known dykes, will be one of the first areas targeted, and I will be very surprised if more dykes are not discovered. This still represents only 10% of the strike length of the system that we have under our control." QA/QC Protocols Rock and core samples were submitted to SGS Canada Inc. in Grand Falls-Windsor, Newfoundland for preparation and then sent to the SGS Canada Inc. analytical laboratory in Burnaby, British Colombia. All samples submitted were taken or saw-cut by Benton/Sokoman personnel and delivered in sealed bags directly to the Grand Falls-Windsor prep lab by Benton/Sokoman personnel. SGS Canada Inc. (SGS) is an accredited assay lab that conforms to the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. Samples are analyzed using SGS's GS_IMS91A50 method that delivers a 56-element package utilizing sodium peroxide fusion, ICP-AES, and ICP-MS analytical techniques. All reported assays are uncut. Soil samples were collected by Sokoman/Benton personnel utilizing a standard Dutch-auger collecting B Horizon soil where possible. Where B was not present, the material collected was noted. The soil samples were sent to Eastern Analytical Ltd., in Springdale, NL, for Li, Ta, Sn, and Nb assaying by four-acid digestion and analyzed by ICP-OES. Eastern Analytical Ltd. achieved ISO 17025 accreditation in February 2014 (for more details on the scope of accreditation visit the CALA website).

2023.03.28 14:15 GeometryDash_Gamer TD Adventure Camp Character Ranking Part 1 (12/12): Discount DJ
(Credit to u/_LittleMermaid_ for the title)
Whatās up everyone! Itās ya boi Geo here. Welcome to a new series where I rank each character from some fan-seasons I watched and give a more elaborate opinion on each. Also yes, this series is inspired by u/twofacedflyer to yāall who remember his legendary seriesā¦more than two years ago now (jeez time flies). Now just to preface things, Iād say Adventure Camp is an awesome series, for the most part at least. And vast majority of the contestants are good (the hosts on the other handā¦well Iāll express my opinion on them sometime later). But with that being said, there are a couple I prefer quite less overall, starting withā¦
Essentially, Will is a gentle giant. Heās very tall and strong physically. But emotionally, to call him timid would be a big understatement. Funny enough, he also happens to be dark-skinned and even wears a green shirt. In fact, it doesnāt take too long to look into his character before being likeā¦huh, heās a lot like DJ. Hell, he even has a very similar plot to DJ during his elimination episode, where the challenge is to paddle to an island and back with a partner, and retrieve a flag. Though unfortunately, Will happens to be scared of the water. And when you combine this with him being paired with Fiore who barely has the physical strength to paddle (at least to a degree to where it would be useful), he ends up going pretty slow for that reason. At first, Fiore tries to keep her cool and asks for him to try to go faster. But later on, as he still continues going slow and letting his ādeep water phobiaā completely cripple him, Fiore eventually (and understandably) loses her shit and starts insulting him. Will doesnāt take that well at all (I mean, he literally just got roasted by a 6-year-old LMFAOOš) and threatens to tell the others about how she hurt his fragile feelings. Ultimately, they lose the challenge. And even despite Fiore actually warning Will that him trying to expose what she did to him wouldnāt work given her facade of just being a poor little 6-year-old, Will very stupidly and pathetically tries to expose her, only to make a big fool out of himself. And this ultimately leaves him as the second boot
As I said, Will heavily mirrors DJ in various ways. And funny enough, I happen to like DJ. So why do I dislike Will may you ask? Well for starters, thereās the fact that he is almost a complete carbon copy of DJ. Considering how early of a boot Will is, I guess I canāt expect him to be fleshed out too much. But itās almost like they didnāt even remotely try to be original with him. Well, actually Iām sorta wrong. There are some key differences with him compared to DJ, except with pretty much all of them being negative. He has none of the charm or good qualities DJ had, but on top of that, is even more spineless to the point itās genuinely pathetic. With DJ, despite also being soft and timid, we got to see how kind-hearted and gentle he is various moments. And on top of that, he had some moments where he actually decided to man up and face his fears, most notably in episode 8 of TDI which episode 2 of AC almost completely rehashes the challenge of. Will on the other hand completely botches the challenge, and I shit you not, loses to even Gabby in particular who 1) Had to paddle alone, and 2) They were actually ahead of for a good whileš¤¦āāļø. And just a reminder, he absolutely had the physical strength to get through the challenge. But he didnāt, all because of his fear of water (which unlike DJ doesn't even have some cool backstory behind it). While it's clear we're supposed to feel bad for Will, I just quickly found myself more annoyed at him. Fuck, I'd even go as far as to say I sided with Fiore when she lost her shit and started yelling at him. Even I was thinking at this point āHoly shit, just grow some ballsā. And for the record, him trying to tell the others about Fiore just makes him look even more sad. Seriously, imagine you cost the challenge all because youāre too much of a bitch to face your fear, and then someone else gets so frustrated to the point they yell at you. And then after costing your team the challenge, you just expect your team to be like āAwwww poor Willš„ŗā and then vote Fiore out? Give me a break! This is a competition for God's sake. And thatās not even with me getting into the fact the dude literally got intimidated and butthurt by a SIX YEAR OLD yelling at him. Like nah, at this point, you fully deserve it (sorry not sorry)
I usually try to be understanding and compassionate when it comes to people's fears, or any short-comings for that matter. But sometimes it gets to a point where it's just downright sad and embarrassing, and Will unfortunately crosses that line. At the end of the day, I see him as a failed sympathy magnet. He barely displays any positive qualities (although his strength does briefly prove to be useful in the first challenge), and his soft and timid side is played up so much to the point that rather than making him sympathetic, it just makes him pathetic (without the āsymā part) and low-key hard to watch. Literally the most positive thing I can say about him is that he does progress Fioreās role as a villain and is meant to be an early boot (just imagine if people simply believed him and voted Fiore out instead...). But aside from that, thereās just nothing else for me to like about him. For these reasons along with him being a completely lackluster and unoriginal carbon copy of a marginally superior TD character, Will ultimately takes the bottom spot of this ranking (at least out of the contestantsā¦). Though on a last note, IG I'll admit he is actually kinda funnier when you watch his audition tape
Dude's a giant beta male, figuratively and literally
And well there you have it, my first entry of this new series. And yeah, despite being a second boot, I had a surprising amount of...less-than-kind things to say about him. But as I said, he's the only contestant I actively dislike. Then after this, I just have one mid character to cover before we get into the ones I actually like. So stay-tuned for that. Anyways, peace outāļø

#12th: Will
While most of the contestants are good, unfortunately, there is one I straight-up dislike. Now at face value, Will is pretty harmless, and I just found him very mid.

In this article, letās understand about the advantages of betterment of an onboarding process, which in turn enhances the talent management:
In the current modern workplace, simply keeping the employees happy isn't enough; they should also require retaining the required hired recruits and making sure to handle the best individuals on board for as long period of time.
A great employee onboarding process is very helpful for the new hire to become acclimated to the company one works for and also facilitates the relationship-development between the employees. It also consists of goal setting, frequent manager check-ins, and employee development and many more. Several employees strongly agree that their performance is handled in such a manner that motivates them to do outstanding work, making this an impactful focus place for many organizations.
The talent management leaders must have one-to-one meeting with every individual to measure their progress, and offer specific way to enhance their productivity.

2023.03.28 14:12 FoxyBlaster1 Terrain rules
This is a post to define the rules for terrain items I use. Maybe of some interest to others using OPR Grimdark rules, but it also will allow my group of players to reference the rules for my terrain items and hopefully avoid any arguments as its all pre game wrote down.
I use two kinds of terrain requiring rule explanation ābuildings, and craters.
Craters are easy, weāll start there.
1.2 Cover terrain for all troops/heroes being shot at if the unit/model is touching the crater.
1.3 Any units from the vehicles/monsters section of the Army Forge app army lists do not count as being in cover from the crater in any way, even if touching. Theyāre too big.
1.4 Any hero model with 12 >= toughness also is deemed too large to be in cover from the crater.
1.5 Craters have no effect if the target unit isnāt touching the crater (i.e shots across the crater)
2.2 Cover terrain for all units inside.
2.3 Obscures LOS for units outside trying to trace LOS through the building.
2.4 Vehicles/monsters from Army forge app are all deemed too large to enter.
2.5 Heroes from Army forge app can enter, but not ones with 12 or more toughness. Deemed too large.
2.6 If half of the models in a unit can reach base to base contact with the building on a move action, the whole unit can move inside. Otherwise stay outside.
2.7 Models inside a building are counted as being inside the full space. If a unit moves inside all models can be moved into the building and placed anywhere inside.
2.8 If the building has a 2nd level models can go direct to the 2nd level when entering, as many models as fit up.
2.9 Units on the 2nd level can fire out and ignore one LOS blocking unit, to fire at targets behind. Cannot ignore other LOS blocking buildings/terrain. However they can also be targetted by outside units who can ignore one LOS blocking unit which is closest to the unit.
2.10 Units inside a building can fire out of all sides that are not solid, and also can be shot at by all units outside through any none solid wall.
2.11 Units inside buildings count as having a joint base the size of the building floorplan, for measuring range from and to.
2.12 Vehicles with no melee attacks cannot charge units in a building / vehicle impacts do not hit units in a building, they hit the building.
2.13 Charging a unit in a building is possible by anything with close combat attacks if the charge can reach any none solid wall of the building.
2.14 Move charging units into contact the outside edge of the building, none solid edge only.
2.15 If the charging unit wins the combat and wipes out the defending unit, they may consolidate into the building, including to a 2nd level.
2.16 Units too large to enter can still fight the unit inside, but canāt then consolidate into the building afterwards.
2.17 If units occupying a building are not wiped out following a close combat, move the attacker back from the building 1inch.
2.18 If the unit in the building loses and becomes pinned, the attacker can chose to drive them out, move the defeated remaining models out any other none solid face of the building (chosen by the attacker) 1 inch. The attacking unit can now consolidate into the building if able.
2.20 Note that itās impossible for a unit to move to touch a building edge that contains an enemy unit, they would have to keep 1in away or else charge.
2.21 Units which cannot enter buildings therefore cannot end their turn within 1in of an occupied building unless they charge, and if they donāt have melee attacks they canāt charge.
2.22 If a unit in a building is holding an objective inside the building, the objective cannot be contested. It can only be cleared by destroying the unit in the building or else taken by charging the unit and driving them out or destroying them entirely.
2.23 Units which cannot enter a building can hold / flip objectives inside only if the building isnāt occupied. As soon as an enemy unit moves inside it is they who would hold the building and the objective.
2.24 Units entirely on a 2nd level or with model on the ground and 2nd level can be charged from enemies who begin their turn outside the building. After moving the attacking units into contact with the building, units on the 2nd level counter charge down to the ground floor. Place them all on the ground floor.
2.25 Units entirely occupying a 2nd level count as in a 2nd building, so other units can enter the bottom level and each unit counts as 1inch apart. Even rival units. So enemy units can chose not to charge the 2nd level and instead enter the bottom level.
2.26 All buildings count as a solid rectangle for purposes of moving into/out and for range measuring, even if missing a corner. Ideally have a base of the footprint size.
2.27 LOS however can be traced through missing corners, but not through openings/holes in other sides of the building.
2.28 Large buildings need to be pre-defined with both players as either one oversized building, or preferably split into multiple building sections, each of which could contain a unit of models.
2.29 Objectives in multi section building should be clearly in just one section.
2.30 Units in adjacent building sections can fire at each other, with no cover penalty, but they cannot fire THROUGH adjacent building sections. LOS is blocked.
2.31 Units in adjacent building areas can charge each other with no need to move any units unless thereās some models of one unit on another level, in which case move them to the level being charged.
2.32 The above rules for charging units in buildings all apply, just count the attacking unit as if they were charging from outside the building.
2.33 If the attacker pins the enemy they can be driven outside if possible, or into other vacant adjacent building areas, even into the one the attacker came from, swapping the units around.

I use two kinds of terrain requiring rule explanation ābuildings, and craters.
Craters are easy, weāll start there.
- Craters
1.2 Cover terrain for all troops/heroes being shot at if the unit/model is touching the crater.
1.3 Any units from the vehicles/monsters section of the Army Forge app army lists do not count as being in cover from the crater in any way, even if touching. Theyāre too big.
1.4 Any hero model with 12 >= toughness also is deemed too large to be in cover from the crater.
1.5 Craters have no effect if the target unit isnāt touching the crater (i.e shots across the crater)
- Buildings (for small buildings only - as units move fully inside and then can move out next turn, they in effect gain extra movement, so therefore buildings need to be small and best if roughly square - larger buildings should be split up into smaller building sections.)
2.2 Cover terrain for all units inside.
2.3 Obscures LOS for units outside trying to trace LOS through the building.
2.4 Vehicles/monsters from Army forge app are all deemed too large to enter.
2.5 Heroes from Army forge app can enter, but not ones with 12 or more toughness. Deemed too large.

2023.03.28 14:10 Remote_Box_8909 [S] Box's Survivor Game Changers and Heroes vs Healers vs Hustlers Sign Up for Both season
You can pick your favorite players to return for Game Changers. The only Criteria is that they must have reached the merge in 1 of their seasons. Please pick 2. And also give a reason for your game changers picks. We have some game changers already choosen which I feel like needs to be on this season here they are.
>! Gai - One of the most important castaways in my series, known for being the first winner of the series as well as inventing the social game aspect.!<
>! Riku - One of the strongest strategists in my series, always managing to get his targets out of the game with no problem and inventing a lot of strategic moves that are still in use within mine series. !<
Chita - She is also just like Riku one of the strongest strategists in my series and one of the biggest challenge threats in my series. She's so iconic, not having her in this season would be a crime.
>! Gunther: Showed some strategic abbility in Guatemala, but got taken out by the other tribe due too them giving imunnity too someone else. He got brought back too Worlds Apart in which he got medavaced at the final 4 and would have won had he not been.!<
: Kenji - Perhaps the earliest example of a challenge beast as he dominated most of Thailand, in South Pacific though he relied more on strategy than challenge wins and I think that if he combines those aspects in Game Changers he might win
Dusk Lobber: Voted out day 1 and won every Redemption Island duel and dominated the merge when she returned
Haruka - Dominated One World in every single aspect, strategical, social, challenge, you name it
>! Casey - She started out as a fan on Caramoan where she was an interesting player to observe, but when she returned in Cambodia she was an underdog who kept fighting hard despite the odds being against her, the finale of Cambodia was basically when she became a legend as she won the last two immunity challenges and won against Fatty and Niime. It would be fun to see her interact with older generation players and legends as well.!<

2023.03.28 14:10 Africanpotpourri Help coding in 2
Dear friendly you! We need help replicating a statistical study on the effect of democracy on primary education provision. We use R and we need to answer the following questions, based on this paper: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/american-political-science-review/article/nondemocratic-roots-of-mass-education-evidence-from-200-years/8C8C594AA07996A00ED4BEFC66B133B7
submitted by Africanpotpourri to CodeHelp [link] [comments]
- Describe the evolution of 1) primary school enrollment, and 2) democracy using tables and/or graphs. Describe in your own words the patterns you observe, and what they imply.
- Discuss the main difference-in-differences model estimated by Paglayan (2021) on the full period of data. The model is described in Equation 1 (page 189). The results from the original difference-in-differences analysis are presented in the middle of Panel A in Figure 6 under the headline āCountry & Year FEā (page 191).
- Using the provided data, please conduct an analysis suitable for the difference-in-differences design in Paglayan (2021). For now, you may use the variable Primary as your main outcome variable, and choose one of the three measures of democratization used by Paglayan (2021). Discuss your findings and contrast them with those presented by Paglayan (2021).
- Please conduct additional analyses to probe the robustness of your results from point (3). You may conduct analyses that aim at probing some assumptions of the research design. You may also want to examine whether your results would have been different, if you had made different choices about your statistical model. Motivate your additional analyses, and discuss whether your results from point (3) are sensitive to the choices you made.
2023.03.28 14:08 NotablySizableBrain Also the dragon cum copypasta rebuttal (V1) in full
Howdy! no
Also, CT NERVES DO NOT EXIST. Just Google them. You'll only see CT scans and cranial nerves. And I don't think you should be stroking nerves anyways.
Letās compare this to humans. A humane male ejaculates about 4 mL of semen. I found a 3ā10 minute range for the time it takes a human male to ejaculate, which I will just simplify to 5 minutes. Humans do have refractory periods, but without them they can hypothetically produce about 0.6023 gallons of semen in a day of nonstop sex. Therefore, the max semen ejaculation quantity in a day of humans and dragons respectively is approximately a 1:6 ratio, which I donāt think I need to say is a large disparity.
But why would dragons evolve to produce so much semen? I don't have dimensions for dragons or data for how the quantity of semen varies with the size of an animal, so all this is hearsay. But I feel like dragonsāwho can comfortably engage in sex acts with humansāare most likely not big enough to where this 1:6 ratio can be entirely explained by size differences.
Generally, a very frequent thing that makes animals produce a disproportionately large amount of ejaculate for their size is competition between males, specifically sperm competition (Ginsberg, J R, and U W Huck). Have you ever seen this particular mildly NSFW image before? That's why that pig has such massive testicles; he produces a lot of semen. The issue here is that the semen of dragons is not optimized for fertilization. Surely, were male dragons in a lot of competition with each other to produce offspring with mates, their semen would actually reflect this?
Also keeping the 2 cup/hr rate established earlier along with the knowledge that semen is ejaculated in increments of 4ā8 cups, that means that it takes a minimum of 2 HOURS (4 MAX) of sexual intercourse for a dragon to orgasm at minimum. Now thatās probably someoneās idea of a good time, but it seems unlikely from an evolutionary standpoint. Extended periods of sex are a trait evolved to reduce competition, butāyet againāit seems unlikely that dragons experience much sexual intraspecies competition based on previously established information. Plus, a minimum of 2 hours of sex is quite the staggering barrier to entry for the experience this text is raving aboutādragon seminal fluid.
so yeah

Dragon cum is slightly warmer than human cum, and much thicker, too. The thickness comes the excess amount of fat that the dragonās body wouldnāt expel normally by other means.There's a grammar mistake here, but this isn't about that. Instead, I want to ask you a simple question: WHY WOULD THE DRAGON WANT TO EXPEL FAT? Fat is stored energy. It also helps insulate heat and regulate hormones, as well as cushioning blunt force strikes (Callahan et al) which scales probably do not protect against too well. Why would dragons evolve to randomly throw away energy like that for no reason whatsoever? Everything included in seminal fluids is either sperm, stuff to help the sperm not die en route to the wombāsuch as alkaline substances that neutralize the acidic environment of the vaginaāand stuff that helps the sperm have an easier time swimming to the wombāsuch as fructose which is used to provide energy to the sperm (Grewal et al). How does fat help?
Any culinary chef will tell you that āfat carries the flavor.ā When they say this, they mean things like oil, butter, and animal fat. Fattier cuts of meat are usually more flavorful than lean cuts.This is true. Fat does carry the flavor (Callahan et al). Butācruciallyāit doesn't generate flavor out of nothing. Its effect can be quite strong, but it isnāt magic.
dragon cum tastes like a whole buffet that could force Michelin to re-establish their star rating system.THE FAT ISN'T DOING THIS! The fat helps with the flavor. It helps a whole lot. But the dragon for whatever reason would have to EVOLVE TO HAVE SEMINAL FLUID THAT IS SPECIFICALLY TASTY FOR HUMANS TO CONSUME. I can only imagine that this would come about through some sort of selective breeding process similar to how we domesticated dogs. BUT WHATāPRAY TELLāWOULD LEAD HUMANITY TO GO THROUGH ALL THE EFFORT OF BREEDING DRAGONS WITH THIS TRAIT IN THE FIRST PLACE? There are EASIER and SAFER ways of consuming something that tastes good.
Imagine 69āing your dragon boyfriendI would imagine that this "69" would actually be more of a āļø because the dragon is a quadrupedal being whose body is mostly horizontal. But I would also imagine that NEITHER THE 69 NOR THE āļø WOULD BE FEASIBLE unless the torsos of dragons are roughly the same of human torsos. That's a tiny dragon. Unless the "me" in this situation isn't supposed to be human either..?
Youāre not even hungry or thirsty, because his cum has enough nutrients to keep you well fed and fully nourished.Fat is what contributes to the feeling of being full, not nutrients (Callahan et al). Also that's a lot of fluids and nutrients that the dragon no longer has in his body. WHY WOULD DRAGONS EVOLVE TO HAVE NUTRITIOUS SEMEN? Yet again, I do not see how this would come about, since the selective breeding thing mentioned earlier is very unlikely (there probably an evolutionary benefit to hanging out with and helping humans, but surely this would manifest in ways that don't include nutritious semen???)
Scientifically, since itās warmer, it should be actually thinner than human cum because viscosity decreases with temperature.Let's talk about this. Yes, viscosity does indeed decrease with heat. But apparently the seminal fluid of dragons is still thicker overall than that of humans because there's so much fat??? Fat content increases viscosity linearly, while temperature is inversely correlated in milk (A.S. Bakshi, et al), although this behavior can probably be applied to other liquids. Thus, a higher temperature would have more of an impact than a lower fat content on lowering viscosity. I can't say anything for certain, but the dragon's semen either has to either have A LOT of fat in it or not a lot of extra heat to achieve this effect of being more viscous. It's probably the former, considering how much this thing raves on and on about fat contents. To which I say, once more, WHY WOULD DRAGONS EJACULATE THAT MUCH FAT? Either way, I slightly modified the equation that models the viscosity of milk using the viscosity of human semen (3.92 centipoise) (Tjioe and Oentoeng) to show this: 3.92<-8.9+0.1F+2721.5/T {T>37} where F is the percentage of fat and T is the temperature in celsius. Feel free to plug that formula into Desmos and look at it if you want. While the testicles of a human have to be at about 34Ā°C to make sperm, it mixes with a lot of ingredients stored in the body, which is about 37Ā°C. This isnāt entirely accurate, since milk is not semen, but it provides a rough idea.
(Try this out with olive oil in a pan! Heat it up, and it will spread out by itself)Olive oil spreads out on its own, as long as it isn't frozen. It's fluid. Fluids flow.
Itās like that cornstarch+water experiment you did in 4th grade. Itās somewhat like melted caramel.WHY WOULD DRAGON SEMINAL FLUID BE A COLLOID? WHY IS IT SO VISCOUS? Being really viscous is not a very good idea for its primary goal (fertilization. not nourishment. because, you know, semen wasn't evolved to be a snack). Surely at some point developing semen that isnāt intended to actually fertilize anything wouldnāt be worth it, even if humanity has got some crazy benefits I canāt think of right now.
The chemical composition of dragon cum not only serves as an aphrodisiac, but it also heightens the sensitivity of C-tactile neurons, or CT nerves. CT nerves serve to give pleasure to a human when they are gently stroked.Why would aphrodisiac semen exist? If dragons engage in sperm competitionāwhich certain traits point toāthen aphrodisiac sperm would be counterproductive, as it would make the female more willing to mate with other males, increasing competition. In t fact, in Drosophila melanogast, a species of fly that does engage in sperm competition, the male's semen actually has an anti-aphrodisiac effect (Clark et al). If dragons have some sort of partnership thing (like, for example, humans do) or a hierarchy thing then the aphrodisiac sperm would still not make sense because aphrodisiacs = more sex, which is unnecessary from a reproductive standpoint because females in this scenario are a lot less promiscuous and wasteful.
Also, CT NERVES DO NOT EXIST. Just Google them. You'll only see CT scans and cranial nerves. And I don't think you should be stroking nerves anyways.
His cum will heighten the sensation of his cock in you, or at least your pleasure from doing so. It feels bigger, longer, and warmer.The dragon probably has a hemipenis, which is two-pronged and probably spiny (which, no doubt, is probably arousing to someone). Whatās the purpose of the hemipenis? It might serve as a sort of ālock and keyā mechanism where incompatible species (like, for example, humans and dragons) canāt penetrate each other (Dufour, L.). It is probably something that is meant to be held in place within the cloaca of a female to create an easy path for the semen of the male. How do we know this? I donāt know. I couldnāt find any sources whatsoever outside of wikipedia. The spines are definitely to hold the hemipenis in place though (Frieson et al). But either way, the experience of having sex with a dragon probably isnāt as ideal as this text would lead you to believe.
Dragons can produce about three gallons of cum in a single day. It really depends mostly on their size.Assuming that the dragon is constantly having sex, literally all day, then this means that the dragon ejaculates at a minimum rate of 2 cups per hour. The text literally describes a scene where presumably non stop sex occurs in a 30-hour period and states that the refractory period is negligible, so this is a reasonable scenario.
Letās compare this to humans. A humane male ejaculates about 4 mL of semen. I found a 3ā10 minute range for the time it takes a human male to ejaculate, which I will just simplify to 5 minutes. Humans do have refractory periods, but without them they can hypothetically produce about 0.6023 gallons of semen in a day of nonstop sex. Therefore, the max semen ejaculation quantity in a day of humans and dragons respectively is approximately a 1:6 ratio, which I donāt think I need to say is a large disparity.
But why would dragons evolve to produce so much semen? I don't have dimensions for dragons or data for how the quantity of semen varies with the size of an animal, so all this is hearsay. But I feel like dragonsāwho can comfortably engage in sex acts with humansāare most likely not big enough to where this 1:6 ratio can be entirely explained by size differences.
Generally, a very frequent thing that makes animals produce a disproportionately large amount of ejaculate for their size is competition between males, specifically sperm competition (Ginsberg, J R, and U W Huck). Have you ever seen this particular mildly NSFW image before? That's why that pig has such massive testicles; he produces a lot of semen. The issue here is that the semen of dragons is not optimized for fertilization. Surely, were male dragons in a lot of competition with each other to produce offspring with mates, their semen would actually reflect this?
In a single cumshot, they can produce about four to eight cups of the stuff.That's a lot. I ventured into my kitchen to get a visual idea of how much that is and 4 cups was the largest measure in ounces and cups present on a very large measuring cup. I guess it's a whole lot more plausible than the non-existent CT nerves or whatever, but I just want to talk about this. 4 cups, the lowest amount in that range, is about 213 times more semen than a human makes. That's enough to fill about 3 cans of soda, minimum. From ONE (1) ejaculation.
Also keeping the 2 cup/hr rate established earlier along with the knowledge that semen is ejaculated in increments of 4ā8 cups, that means that it takes a minimum of 2 HOURS (4 MAX) of sexual intercourse for a dragon to orgasm at minimum. Now thatās probably someoneās idea of a good time, but it seems unlikely from an evolutionary standpoint. Extended periods of sex are a trait evolved to reduce competition, butāyet againāit seems unlikely that dragons experience much sexual intraspecies competition based on previously established information. Plus, a minimum of 2 hours of sex is quite the staggering barrier to entry for the experience this text is raving aboutādragon seminal fluid.
so yeah

2023.03.28 14:07 Suspicious_Car_7549 First coaching gig- need feedback
I'm a huge fan of soccer and have been from a young age, I am now in my mid twenties. When no one put their hand up to coach my brother's u16's team, I was very happy to volunteer. They are at a low grade but many of them have played for many years so I expected some level of understanding of the game even if the quality isn't there. Out of a team of 16 there are 5 stand out players, 6 decent, players, 2 who can improve with time, 3 lost causes including one who doesn't show up for anything. I want to do my best to keep it fun and rotate everyone and mix up the positions as we aren't playing at a high level but I don't want to be throwing away competitive matches. These are 15/16 year olds and can handle some competition in my opinion
For a pre-season game against a higher graded team I set them up in a 4-3-3 as I predicted we would need the extra numbers in midfield. I stressed the importance of wingers cutting inside to help our lone striker while the two more forward midfielders occupy the half-space of the pitch and make attacking runs into the channels.
They looked at me like I was speaking another language. We lost 3-0. There were moments where they seemed to listen to instruction and we played as planned but I'm not sure if it was intentional or just based off intuition. We struggled to retain possession at all.
For our second game I tried to keep it very basic with a 4-2-2 which transitions to a 4-4-1-1 out of possession, with a striker dropping deep to help the midfield win the ball back. We lost 3-2 and although they had many more chances we had a lot of quality chances, defended well, but could not retain possession for sustained periods.
At the moment, I'm heavily emphasising practicing ball control in tight spaces. I plan to keep playing a 4-2-2 but narrow and try to focus on fast, direct transition through central areas to keep in theme with training and because at this level I dont think space is too important as the kids cant take advantage of it. I want to hear your guys thoughts because I've had little to no oversight or training, Im just a fan of the game and although some parents have offered their opinion they don't really understand the game that well, especially because soccer isnt too popular in my country.

2023.03.28 14:07 GamerExecChef D&D story
A few years ago, in the 3.5 era, I had a particular friend I liked to have DM. His world was very cut throat. His theory was "in a real lived in world, those things you would fight at level 20, are still around at level 1, you can still encounter them and they might even come hunting for you. Not every encounter, is one you should fight. Sometimes, you need to run."
He had a famous, in our group, example everyone jokes about. He was once DMing a party of level several 12 or 13 players. A single goblin charged them and they all ran away, because they all said "This obviously outmatched guy charging us knows something we dont."
His goal was to kill one player per session, but never TPK intentionally. If you do something stupid, you win stupid prizes.
I loved the challenge and so did the group, it was very fun for a group of people who tended to power game and the DM would try to match our power gaming, incorrectly thinking he was the best at it (and still does).
So you have an idea of who was DMing. Anyone familiar with 3.5 will know how incredibly rules heavy it is. In our opinion, a group of 4 players is the perfect size, any bigger and the games REALLY bog down. Well this game, we already had 6 people and the DM wasn't thrilled about it. Then one of the players asked if he could bring a military buddy of his, the DM begrudgingly approved the addition. Now we have 7.
Day 1, the guy shows up with his girlfriend unannounced and they drove over an hour to be here. We really have no choice but to include her. Now we have 8! On top of this, this guy's character is "from nobility" and demands certain things in the world, like connections and renown, that don't match the DM's homebrew world and the DM is not happy about it, but the DM does his best to accommodate.
So we start session 1. Unknown to us, the main bad guy of the campaign that we are gonna fight around level 15, is this insane halfling who is working "for" a lord who is actually working for the main bad guy, cause he is insane and it entertains him. So he is "sent" out to recruit us and start the plot. He meets us on the road on his riding dog.
The stuck-up noble knight this guy made and is roleplaying takes immediate offense to how the halfling is talking to him. The halfling doesn't care at all and just continues to talk to us, but the riding dog pisses on the knight's leg. The knight takes serious offense and charges the halfling.
But remember who is DMing and how unhappy he is about literally every part of this player being there, he holds no punches.
So the knight rolls to his, misses, triggers a contingency spell, a huge 50 foot tall fire elemental is summoned, who rolls to hit, hits, and immediately overkills the knight so bad he leaves a crater in the ground. The halfling unsummoned the elemental and then continues talking to our group.
The player storms out, takes his girlfriend and goes home.
Now all of that is to set the scene for the story I want to tell you. After that campaign finishes up (or more accurately, was abandoned due to players having lives to deal with) the guy who invited him, invites me to games this guy is going to DM. This guy was very weak on the rules with 2 very good powergamers at his table. He was in for trouble, not that we knew that going in. I made a super glass-cannoned barbarian that was one of my favorite characters ever, taking a barbarian prestige class that makes rage turn you into a bear, which qualified me for a bunch of druid wildshape prestige classes and druid wildshape feats and I abused the hell out of it. Most amazing offense and defense I have ever had a character have. I could talk about that build for hours, but is not the point here.
Little did I know, this DM was taking all of his frustrations on the DM in the first story, out on me, just because I was there, and now I am at his table, even though I had nothing to do with any of it, I just watched.
So my glass cannon was "In a low magic world where most people are mundane fighters, I am king. But too much magic and I am screwed", and I didn't know ahead of time, but this guy's homebrew setting, was a low magic world at war, with mostly mundane fighters, he had a preference for throwing a 4x4 phalanx at us and I was so happy, this was my playground and I was king.
Side note, despite being so powergamed and so was my friend, the third member, despite never rolling an attack roll for the first 2 moths of the campaign, was hands down the most effective member of our party, a true joy to game with and one of my favorite players I have ever had the absolute pleasure of playing with. Absolutely outstanding role-player, but also used his skills of bluff and persuasion and such, so creatively, it was just a pleasure to watch.
So despite the DM being impossibly unfair to me and taking his frustration out on me, I was playing with a good friend and one of the most amazing players I have ever met, there were so many laughs and so much fun despite the DM, I had to keep going. Plus, there were several times where I did something (see powergamer) and the DM's tears were so tasty!
There was one time he threw an adult blue dragon at us, we were level 10, and only had 2 real combatants. My friend played a half dragon and the dragon called him a racial slur for half dragons, so he charge and I followed him. The DM had this "you guys are so screwed" smirk on his face. 2nd round, I hit once and crit a second time, on a weapon with a x4 crit multiplier that the DM really shouldn't have given to me, especially with my absurdly high strength score, a feature of one of my presige classes. I did 16D8 +127 damage and we asked "is he dead?" and the DM was like "maybe, roll it up." My first 5 rolls were 8, 8, 7, 6, 8 and I stopped to the DM saying "stop, stop, he's dead." My friend and I jumped up cheering! And it was only made SO much better because of the DM's obvious disappointment at the outcome. As I said before, his tears were SO tasty!
But this guy, like I said, liked to throw phalanxes at us. 4x4. These guys were HILARIOUSLY easy for me to stomp, because like I said, I accidentally created a character to DOMINATE in this world. I would charge the phalanx, leap attack, and with insane strength, easily clear the front row and land in the middle of the group, being a large character, I landed on the 4 guys in the middle and then I attacked the guys on one side, my PrC allowing each of my attacks to hit 3 squares, splitting up each attack on the row of 3 guys on each side. I had a feat that let my attacks have a free bull rush attempt where I don't move with them, essentially sending them flying. Well the class that allowed me to hit 3 squares, also give me +2 strength per level, getting a bonus to the bull rush based on my power attack bonus, which was at a -1 AC for +3 damage, I was having a +50 on my opposed bull rush rolls, on each of 3 guys I hit, per attack, on 3 attacks, each attack split up on 3 of the 4 sides, his phalanx he loved so much was immediately dispersed. Then when they came charging back to attack me, having 10' of reach for being large and getting an extra 5' for druid wildshaping PrC shenanigans, I got an attack of opportunity when they came running back, I had 3 or 4 attacks of opportunity, hittng another 3 squares and more free bull rushes. So no one was ever hitting me, cause they could never reach me.
He tailored plot relevant bounty hunters to take each of us down and "exploit our weaknesses" and mine was an archer. I would routinely have 6 or so rounds of clearing out the trash to reach the archers, before he did enough damage for me to decide he was a higher priority to make go away. Between DR 2/- barbarians got in 3.5 and extremely high HD at D12 and exremely high con due to templates he really shouldn't have approved and I self nerfed their full potential, I had a truckload of HP. Mxed this almost never getting hit in melee and arrows doing little damage per hit, even getting many, many arrows shot at me, with the DR putting in work, it wasn't much of a counter.
The campaign eventually fizzled out. I was disappointed, cause I missed playing with my good friend and this new friend who was so entertaining to watch, mixed with such a beloved character and making the DM cry for all he tried to take out on me, made for a very enjoyable campaign. But I did not miss that DM.

He had a famous, in our group, example everyone jokes about. He was once DMing a party of level several 12 or 13 players. A single goblin charged them and they all ran away, because they all said "This obviously outmatched guy charging us knows something we dont."
His goal was to kill one player per session, but never TPK intentionally. If you do something stupid, you win stupid prizes.
I loved the challenge and so did the group, it was very fun for a group of people who tended to power game and the DM would try to match our power gaming, incorrectly thinking he was the best at it (and still does).
So you have an idea of who was DMing. Anyone familiar with 3.5 will know how incredibly rules heavy it is. In our opinion, a group of 4 players is the perfect size, any bigger and the games REALLY bog down. Well this game, we already had 6 people and the DM wasn't thrilled about it. Then one of the players asked if he could bring a military buddy of his, the DM begrudgingly approved the addition. Now we have 7.
Day 1, the guy shows up with his girlfriend unannounced and they drove over an hour to be here. We really have no choice but to include her. Now we have 8! On top of this, this guy's character is "from nobility" and demands certain things in the world, like connections and renown, that don't match the DM's homebrew world and the DM is not happy about it, but the DM does his best to accommodate.
So we start session 1. Unknown to us, the main bad guy of the campaign that we are gonna fight around level 15, is this insane halfling who is working "for" a lord who is actually working for the main bad guy, cause he is insane and it entertains him. So he is "sent" out to recruit us and start the plot. He meets us on the road on his riding dog.
The stuck-up noble knight this guy made and is roleplaying takes immediate offense to how the halfling is talking to him. The halfling doesn't care at all and just continues to talk to us, but the riding dog pisses on the knight's leg. The knight takes serious offense and charges the halfling.
But remember who is DMing and how unhappy he is about literally every part of this player being there, he holds no punches.
So the knight rolls to his, misses, triggers a contingency spell, a huge 50 foot tall fire elemental is summoned, who rolls to hit, hits, and immediately overkills the knight so bad he leaves a crater in the ground. The halfling unsummoned the elemental and then continues talking to our group.
The player storms out, takes his girlfriend and goes home.
Now all of that is to set the scene for the story I want to tell you. After that campaign finishes up (or more accurately, was abandoned due to players having lives to deal with) the guy who invited him, invites me to games this guy is going to DM. This guy was very weak on the rules with 2 very good powergamers at his table. He was in for trouble, not that we knew that going in. I made a super glass-cannoned barbarian that was one of my favorite characters ever, taking a barbarian prestige class that makes rage turn you into a bear, which qualified me for a bunch of druid wildshape prestige classes and druid wildshape feats and I abused the hell out of it. Most amazing offense and defense I have ever had a character have. I could talk about that build for hours, but is not the point here.
Little did I know, this DM was taking all of his frustrations on the DM in the first story, out on me, just because I was there, and now I am at his table, even though I had nothing to do with any of it, I just watched.
So my glass cannon was "In a low magic world where most people are mundane fighters, I am king. But too much magic and I am screwed", and I didn't know ahead of time, but this guy's homebrew setting, was a low magic world at war, with mostly mundane fighters, he had a preference for throwing a 4x4 phalanx at us and I was so happy, this was my playground and I was king.
Side note, despite being so powergamed and so was my friend, the third member, despite never rolling an attack roll for the first 2 moths of the campaign, was hands down the most effective member of our party, a true joy to game with and one of my favorite players I have ever had the absolute pleasure of playing with. Absolutely outstanding role-player, but also used his skills of bluff and persuasion and such, so creatively, it was just a pleasure to watch.
So despite the DM being impossibly unfair to me and taking his frustration out on me, I was playing with a good friend and one of the most amazing players I have ever met, there were so many laughs and so much fun despite the DM, I had to keep going. Plus, there were several times where I did something (see powergamer) and the DM's tears were so tasty!
There was one time he threw an adult blue dragon at us, we were level 10, and only had 2 real combatants. My friend played a half dragon and the dragon called him a racial slur for half dragons, so he charge and I followed him. The DM had this "you guys are so screwed" smirk on his face. 2nd round, I hit once and crit a second time, on a weapon with a x4 crit multiplier that the DM really shouldn't have given to me, especially with my absurdly high strength score, a feature of one of my presige classes. I did 16D8 +127 damage and we asked "is he dead?" and the DM was like "maybe, roll it up." My first 5 rolls were 8, 8, 7, 6, 8 and I stopped to the DM saying "stop, stop, he's dead." My friend and I jumped up cheering! And it was only made SO much better because of the DM's obvious disappointment at the outcome. As I said before, his tears were SO tasty!
But this guy, like I said, liked to throw phalanxes at us. 4x4. These guys were HILARIOUSLY easy for me to stomp, because like I said, I accidentally created a character to DOMINATE in this world. I would charge the phalanx, leap attack, and with insane strength, easily clear the front row and land in the middle of the group, being a large character, I landed on the 4 guys in the middle and then I attacked the guys on one side, my PrC allowing each of my attacks to hit 3 squares, splitting up each attack on the row of 3 guys on each side. I had a feat that let my attacks have a free bull rush attempt where I don't move with them, essentially sending them flying. Well the class that allowed me to hit 3 squares, also give me +2 strength per level, getting a bonus to the bull rush based on my power attack bonus, which was at a -1 AC for +3 damage, I was having a +50 on my opposed bull rush rolls, on each of 3 guys I hit, per attack, on 3 attacks, each attack split up on 3 of the 4 sides, his phalanx he loved so much was immediately dispersed. Then when they came charging back to attack me, having 10' of reach for being large and getting an extra 5' for druid wildshaping PrC shenanigans, I got an attack of opportunity when they came running back, I had 3 or 4 attacks of opportunity, hittng another 3 squares and more free bull rushes. So no one was ever hitting me, cause they could never reach me.
He tailored plot relevant bounty hunters to take each of us down and "exploit our weaknesses" and mine was an archer. I would routinely have 6 or so rounds of clearing out the trash to reach the archers, before he did enough damage for me to decide he was a higher priority to make go away. Between DR 2/- barbarians got in 3.5 and extremely high HD at D12 and exremely high con due to templates he really shouldn't have approved and I self nerfed their full potential, I had a truckload of HP. Mxed this almost never getting hit in melee and arrows doing little damage per hit, even getting many, many arrows shot at me, with the DR putting in work, it wasn't much of a counter.
The campaign eventually fizzled out. I was disappointed, cause I missed playing with my good friend and this new friend who was so entertaining to watch, mixed with such a beloved character and making the DM cry for all he tried to take out on me, made for a very enjoyable campaign. But I did not miss that DM.
2023.03.28 14:07 suphater Cavs 2022-23 lineup on/off stats and observations
We're late enough in the season for an analysis of this year's performance of our different lineup combinations.
Stats from NBA Add More Funds Wowy, one of the best tool for lineup combination stats and analysis, which can also help in individual analysis at times because individual players will be positive or negatively affected by other players who they share most of their play time time. The NBA official site is also good for finding lineup combos.
As with so many individual player stats, one season can be misleading. This stat is an important piece of context, but of course it's not the whole pie.
Stats taken from before the game vs Houston.
Cavs 2022-23 total - top 7 in order of minutes: Mobley, Garland, Mitchell, Allen, Levert, Okoro, Osman 115.5 O Rating, 58,9% TS, 109.8 D Rating
Bold means player on, then it's the order of their most played-with teammates for context, then it's the team efficiency ratings of all the minutes when that player is on the court

Okoro - Mobley, Garland, Mitchell, Allen, Levert, Osman 113.9 O Rating, 59.3 TS%, 109.9 D Rating
Osman - Mobley, Levert, Garland, Mitchell, Allen, Okoro 116.6 O Rating, 59.7 TS%,108.8 D Rating
Rubio - Levert, Mobley, Osman, Allen, Garland, Wade, Mitchell 111.6 O Rating, 56% TS, 106.2 D Rating
Wade (main lineup is with Levert instead of Garland, Garland is his 5th man though) - 111.6 O Rating, 105.7 D Rating
Cavs had a relatively healthy and consistent season. It is difficult to get creative with Cavs on/off lineups because they didn't experiment much.
More on/off splits:
403 minutes of Garland/Mobley/Cedi were a high successful 118.7 vs 102.3
254 minutes of Mobley and Rubio together were 115.9 vs 100.4
Evan Mobley without Allen - 113 O Rating, 108.5 D Rating - Not as good as I expected
Evan Mobley without Allen or Okoro - 674 minutes - 115.8 O Rating, 107.7 D Rating, that's more like it.
Evan Mobley without Allen, Lopez, or Stevens - 730 minutes - 114.3 O Rating, 107.2 D Rating - This is what we look like with Mobley at Center in only his second year. Stevens played SF earlier in the year though but when I see Stevens and Mobley both starting for example, I see that as two bigs. Here we have 730 clear minutes at the 5 for Mobley.
Allen without Mobley, Lopez, or Stevens - 490 minutes - 112.4 O Rating, 105.1 D Rating
Mitchell and Garland on - 1250 minutes - 119.2 O Rating, 111 D Rating
Rubio and Garland - 168 minutes low sample size - 117.8 O Rating, 98.5 D Rating
Okoro and Levert - 647 minutes - 111.5 O Rating, 111 D Rating
And the one lineup combo that really matters:
Garland, Mitchell, Mobley, Allen - 120.3 O Rating, 112.8 D Rating
You have to consider that a lot of player would suceed in that position, but we don't truly know when it comes to Cedi. I'm surprised he didn't get more of Lamar's minutes with the starters, other than trying to stagger his amazing offense with the rest of our bench.
The Cavs averaged 6+ Net with Allen or Mobley at center and Wade as their PF, and I would bet these lineups have even more potential than their small sample size showed, because they usually happened with at least Garland or Mitchell on the bench. They won't play Cedi or Wade at SF with the Core Four, fine, then they need to be our 3rd and 4th bigs.
I looked at a small sample from February and Mobley played 66% of his minutes with Allen. In the playoffs, that will only increase because you want your best players on the court. You're only looking at about 15 minutes per game with Wade and Cedi at PF.
Playing Levert at PF at times with one of our defensive anchors should not even be out of the question in certain situations, for example you could find yourself playing against Butler or Derozan at PF these days. Harden has played some PF in the playoffs for years.
Mitchell, Mobley, Garland, Allen, Levert, Okoro, Wade, Cedi, Rubio, that's our nine.
I would say Stevens is 10th, that's fine, but it's time to remember that he's undrafted. Let's give another undrafted player a chance since you don't play your 10th guy much in the playoffs. I'm interested in seeing more of fellow 2020 undrafted free agent instead, Mamadi Diakite.

And the one lineup combo that really matters:
Garland, Mitchell, Mobley, Allen - 120.3 O Rating, 112.8 D Rating
- Cavs locked into Okoro and Levert. Stevens was given the third most minutes with the Core Four.
You have to consider that a lot of player would suceed in that position, but we don't truly know when it comes to Cedi. I'm surprised he didn't get more of Lamar's minutes with the starters, other than trying to stagger his amazing offense with the rest of our bench.
- Stevens had a -4 net rating with that Core Four, so while I believe that many players would look excellent playing with Mitchell and Garland let alone add in Mobley and Allen, this guy didn't. He still didn't get much of a sample size at all, it's fluky, but...
- Cavs also locked into Mobley early their backup center.
- Love's lineups were surprisingly good. I didn't post since he is gone. He's not what you want in the playoffs, but that was a sad ending.
- The one wishful lineup I would recommend experimenting with the Core Four is by playing Rubio. Allen/Mobley/Mitchell/Rubio/Garland:
- Cavs already played Garland with about 33% of Rubio's minutes
- The entire point of Rubio's regular season was rehab
- Defenses would be more concerned about Rubio than Okoro or Levert, so even though you consider Mitchell undersized, at the same time, the game gets to become one on one for Mitchell on offense. People easily overlook the other side of every size mismatch, that you have actually gained more on offense and can play strategically as a team on defense.
- An undersized perimeter is still backed up by Allen and Mobley
- More realistically, the biggest takeaway from all of this is that Stevens needs out of the rotation.
The Cavs averaged 6+ Net with Allen or Mobley at center and Wade as their PF, and I would bet these lineups have even more potential than their small sample size showed, because they usually happened with at least Garland or Mitchell on the bench. They won't play Cedi or Wade at SF with the Core Four, fine, then they need to be our 3rd and 4th bigs.
