Not a bad prediction at all!

I also enjoy the team propaganda. They mentioned they are running it again this year, so we'll see both shows!

I'm going to build my own Reddit, with blackjack and hookers!

It's always been pretty nice, even before it was made recreational. It was easy to find, it was decriminalized, and really nobody cared if you smoked publicly, just don't be a doink about it.

Now it's really fantastic. You can get cheaper (and possibly better) stuff from non-legal suppliers, but for the hassle, it's not worth it. It's just great though that you can grab what you want when you want, with no legal concerns.

And on the other hand - I can't believe it's not only illegal in other parts of the world, but treated as a serious offence. Glad you enjoyed it here, and hoping the US and rest of the world makes the same recreational calls going forward. I'd love to visit other countries and be able to grab a joint as easily as I can grab a beer.

They were a weak spot last season as well. I think Amos will be an upgrade over Joyner (and Ashtyn Davis), but it's not a great group. It's weaker than our LBs which is already not a group that scares anyone.

Safety seems like one of those spots where we've never had a top flight group. Maybe for a year or two with Maye and Adams, or a few isolated years of good play from some other guys (Landry?).

Terrible news.

Beane and McDermott have brought such competent team-building and coaching to the Bills. It was much better when they were flailing around without a plan.

In particular, I loved when they would start seasons 4-0, or 5-0, and then collapse and miss the playoffs.

This kind of stability means they'll continue being a strong team. Brutal.

I'm also here to test it.

[Edit] For me, in this instance, it worked very fast compared to the past few days.

Depends on the car and spare. On my car the spare is a much more thin tire compared to my regular ones. It's meant to act as a short-term fix to get a proper tire back on. This type of spare isn't meant to be used long-term.

Since it's a different form than a typical tire, many spares (mine included) are almost double the PSI (~60) than my typical tire.

I'd say just make sure you check on the tire itself! It's definitely likely it's different from the main tires for many makes and models.

Ah, very cool! I haven't found a great way to discover new servers, so I hadn't heard of this before.

This is very similar to what I was picturing - a server which only allows sports-related communities to be made.

Thanks for sharing, I'm going to start using the communities from that server and promoting it around where I can.

 

We're at a great nexus for Lemmy here, with so many users (including me) giving up Reddit for good and moving to the federated universe.

One thing I loved and will miss about Reddit are the sports-related subs I had -- large league subs (like NBA and NFL) and smaller team subs.

There are efforts to organize new communities across Lemmy servers (including some on lemmy.world), but I see a great opportunity to start a new server focused on sports and team subs.

Why not just make these communities on an existing server?

My thoughts are -- right now there are various team and sports subs across many servers. The natural expectation is eventually one of these team or sports subs will become the main community people will subscribe to. Having a sports-specific server will expedite this process, and will give sports fans a one-stop shop for where to go to subscribe.

My goal would be a server instance people would know is the 'source' for the largest sports communities.

Tell me I'm dumb, or provide me constructive feedback, or let's talk more about setting up a server!

Cheers
