    What's Your Gripe ?

    This subject just came up on next-door.com last week. Someone said we should ban all plastic bags immediately, because no one recycles them. All 6 of the major grocery stores in my town have plastic bag collection points in the entrance. People just don't use them. My personal gripe is the increasing number of people who either don't dim their lights at all, or wait till they're 15 yards away and you've already been blinded. Although it could be the vehicle itself. Someone who bought a new vehicle recently, said he had to get out the owners manual & change nighttime dimming to manual from automatic. I used to flash my brights when I saw someone getting really close who still had their brights on, until I found out that it's illegal in the retarded state of Minnesota. But what about flashing your headlights at another vehicle coming at you with their high beams on -- blinding you for the moment? It's even worse with those super-bright new headlights out there. Is it ok to give 'em a quick flash or two, or is that another no-no in Minnesota? Survey says... It's illegal. (Yes, really.) Flipping your high beams on once or twice to let another oncoming vehicle that they have their high beams on is officially against the law in Minnesota. In an article on hometownsource.com, Sargent Jesse Grabow of the Minnesota State Patrol says: A person is not allowed to “flash” their headlights at another vehicle, even if that vehicle has its high beams on. When meeting a vehicle in Minnesota, dim your headlights to low beams at 1,000 feet (even on a divided roadway.) Also use your low beams when you’re following another vehicle at 200 feet or less.

    Lessons learned from 2023

    Thank you. The rest of my league doesn't have a prayer next year I learned most of these lessons long before 2023, but I think most still ring true today. Don't follow the herd. Leading up to my 1st ever draft, I read an article saying not to pick a TE until someone else drafts one. Since the run on that position would now have started, grab one ASAP. The same article, said the same thing regarding QB's. Starting with my 2nd draft in 2006, I did the opposite. I intentionally set up the Yahoo draft window in a way that I couldn't see who anyone else drafted. Instead of paying attention to what others were doing, I filled my roster one position at a time, with the best player available. No smack talk during the draft. That first year, I allowed myself to be distracted by getting involved in the smack talk comments section/window. Time Allowed Per Pick: In year 2, the commissioner threw us a curve by changing the time allowed per pick from 60 seconds to 30. I might get some pushback here, but that's ridiculous. Yahoo allows up to a full 2 minutes. That's too long. 30 seconds isn't enough. Make sure you know the time allowed before the draft. I suppose this goes along with not following the herd, but don't be afraid to draft someone early if you have a hunch. Michael Turner backed up LT on the Chargers from 2004-2007. He was traded to the Falcons in the off-season. He was freakish in size - 5' 10" 240+ lbs. What impressed me was that he returned kicks for the Chargers. That told me he had speed that a guy that size shouldn't. Don't remember what round I drafted him, just know that I grabbed him early & the next day, at least one owner asked me, "what the hell were you thinking ? Of course I'm cherry picking with that one, and I'm sure I made similar moves later that probably didn't work out at all. LaChup already pointed this out, but it's worth repeating. Always start your studs. 2023 is my 18th year of playing FF, & I still make @ least a couple insanely stupid mistake every year. My worst this year happened in week 13. I drafted DK Metcalf, & picked up Tank Dell when he was dropped after missing week 6 & being on his bye week 7. Metcalf wasn't exactly setting the world on fire, while Dell had been (weeks 10-11-12) Metcalf was playing at Dallas @ the time one of the toughest matchups for WR's. So I benched him for Tank. On the Seahawks 1st possession, Geno Smith hit him for a 74 yard TD. He finished 6-148-3. Unfortunately for Dell, he broke his leg & scored zero pts. Follow the box scores every week, especially early in the year. This is where people willing to put in the time, can identify players beginning to break out. This doesn't guarantee anything, but if you have a decent sized bench, it gives you a 'chance' to pick up a guy who could be a difference maker 'before' everyone knows & literally thousands of waiver wire articles tell the masses to pick them up Tuesday morning.

    Week 17 All-Out Blitz (2023) ...

    Thank You,

    Week 17 All-Out Blitz (2023) ...

    Full PPR Almost a certainty Jaylen Waddle will miss week 17 Right now I have Rashid Shaheed plugged in. 3 positives for him. 1: Michael Thomas isn't expected to return Week 17 2: Playing @ Tampa Bay (3rd most points allowed to WR's) 3: He returns punt & kicks (my league rewards points for those yards) Would you consider any of the following 3 a better play ? Adam Thielen: @ Jacksonville *Decent last week 6-94-0 but hasn't scored a TD since week 6* Curtis Samuel: Home vs the 49ers Drake London: @ Chicago Thanks

    Cryptocurrency

    At least you're earning something on the cash from the liquidation. November 2021, the ADB in my fidelity cash reserves was 128K, earned $1.05 in dividends. Last month the ADB was approximately 22K & I earned $92.98

    This is how I plan to go about it. Invest in a company that has an underlying business of its own, but is also betting big on bitcoin. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4636590-microstrategy-mstr-buying-its-bitcoin-macro-strategy
