Either I need incontrovertible proof that Bill Belechick’s dog has actually been making the picks for the past few years, or someone else needs to be making use of that #7 (if not better) pick next year.

I still really want to understand what those apps are doing in the background to cause this in the first place.

Both Chicago to Seattle and Chicago to San Fran are supposed to be absolutely stunning routes.

The Empire Builder to Seattle goes through the high planes and provides extradonary views. But the real showstopper is the California Zephyr. It’s generally considered to be the most scenic route in the entire Amtrak network. It goes right through the Rockies so you’ll get to see things you can see any other way.

If you have a ton of time on your hands, you could do Zephyr to SF, then Coast Starlight to SEA, then back to CHI via the Empire Builder.

All of those trains offer private room options.

That’s fair lol

As a Patriots fan, I couldn’t be more frustrated with how things are going.

It’s clear now that by the time the dynasty was over, Brady was the OC and BB was the DC. That arrangement worked well for them and produced incredible, winning seasons.

When Brady left we should have immediately replaced Josh McDaniels with the best OC money could buy. But we rolled with “we’re smarter than everyone else” for a few years and now the entire thing is a disaster.

I think this is in part Bill’s fault and in part the Krafts’ fault. I think they were right to give Bill a little wiggle room to find his footing after Brady left. But the offense has been atrocious for years and the Krafts should have insisted on (and put up the money for) Bill bringing in top tier talent. We just expected the aura of BB to make things all right.

Bill is a great coach, a great defensive mastermind. But this transition was poorly planned for—either Mac is a bust or is getting terrible coaching and we can’t seem to be able to build even the most basic weapons on offense.

Not a bad idea! I think of works like Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars Trilliogy, which has a pretty significant focus in the second book about what a new style of collaborative governance might look like. Narrative is always the most powerful way to convince people of ideas, so I say go for it!

Well said. The pricing that Narwhal is forced to charge due to Reddit’s API terms is not sustainable for those who use Reddit moderately throughout the day.

Ultimately we must spread the word about Lemmy and show people they can choose where to create their content. I’d much prefer to create content here.

What an interesting idea. As this project scales, how would you think of getting around the Reddit API limit problem? This sounds pretty API intensive. I also wonder if Reddit might see this as a TOS violation (particularly when the bot was posting comments) and killing it without even reaching an API limit.

That said, I applauded you for trying to think of creative ways to increase content on Lemmy. One thing in particular that I miss are the questions on niche subreddits, particularly hobby subreddits. You can learn so much just by reading others’ questions. Lemmy doesn’t have the user base and reach to support stuff like that yet, so I like that you’re trying to think of ways to increase that content here.

If 3 points wouldn’t have made a difference I get trying to pin them in the 5. But by forcing them to go for 7 for the win on their final drive changes the entire dynamic of how you play that final drive defensively.

It just makes no sense to me.

I didn’t get the watch the whole thing but those last four minutes that I did catch was absolutely fucking wild.

Holy shit hope he’s OK. He looked in some legit pain.

This game would be completely different had Duke kicked that field goal. Also, the blitz was working, why go into a prevent defense on 4th down?

If Duke loses, it will be due to terrible coaching here at the end.
