    X Musk Eviscerates Trump

    Inflation was going down under Biden, now it’s going back up

    3.09 the lowest i've seen near me but that is still a major improvement.

    Inflation was going down under Biden, now it’s going back up

    It's always a bit of both. I know most are not capable of seeing fault in their own side but clearly many presidential policies have lasting impact well beyond that presidents term in office. It's also usually fair to wait more than 3 weeks to declare the current state of various issues to be the direct result of the new potus. the biden inflation playbook was mostly just letting the Fed raise rates. I don't know what to say about his policies to fight inflation because he didn't have many. but i also believe some of the inflation he dealt with was caused by Trump during his first term so i'm not just a Trump cheerleader. Then again you can probably also find decisions made by Obama during his terms that were still impacting things like inflation during the Biden admin since many policies don't even show much impact until way after a potus leaves office.

    I might suggest looking for a gap wedge that is more similar to whatever set of irons you go with and then getting matching SW/LW. Some iron sets go 5-GW as a standard option now. My dad bought Mizunos last year with the matching gap. Getting my taylormades last year was a big change even though the lofts are fairly similar. I went with KBS shafts that are 20 grams lighter and the change away from forged clubheads. Plus 15ish years of tech. So I am hitting all my irons including PW farther than my old ones. But I have never hit full wedge shots with gap, sand or lob very far. The ball flight tends to be straight up straight down so I definitely have a dead zone between PW and my more blade type GW.

    Trump just ended the war in Ukraine!

    The best way to support Ukraine would have been by trying to end the war and being open to negotiation

    My Callaway x forged PW was 46* bought the 2021/22 Taylormade p790s last year and PW is 45* I have a Cleveland 52, 56 and ping 60 the 7 degree gap is not ideal and i rarely hit the 60 so id likely be better off with a 50 ”game improvement” irons you will probably see much stronger lofts

    I do but I have so many balls and every time I play I find half a dozen premium balls in excellent condition. Don’t remember the last time I bought any

You will carry that roster for the entire playoffs with the total points accumulated deciding the winner. With that in mind, the strategy is to select players whose team you expect to advance farthest in the playoffs (thus playing more games and having more opportunities to score fantasy points) at the positions which traditionally produce the highest scores (i.e. you probably wouldn't want to select a RB from a team you expect to be eliminated after one game). The scoring system will be as follows: 1 pt per 25 yds passing 1 pt per 10 yds rushing 1 pt per 10 yds recieving 4 pts per passing TD 6 pts per rushing TD 6 pts per recieving TD 2 pts per two-pt conversion (passing/rushing/recieving) -2 pts per INT -2 pts per fumble lost 1 pt per XP 3 pts per FG up to 39 yds 4 pts per FG of 40-49 yds 5 pts per FG of 50+ yds 6 pts per D/ST TD 1 pt per sack 2 pts per INT 2 pts per fumble recovery 2 pts per safety -2 pts per D/ST fumble lost 8 pts for total points allowed 0-6 6 pts for total points allowed 7-13 4 pts for total points allowed 14-20 2 pts for total points allowed 21-27 - Points will be counted after each individual game, no decimal scoring (i.e. if Peterson rushes for 87 yds in the division playoffs and 103 yds in the NFC Championship, he will recieve 8 pts and 10 pts, not 19 pts for the combined 190 yds) - Touchdowns scored on special teams or defense will be awarded to that D/ST unit, not to individual players. Each entry must select one of it's players to act as a tiebreaker. If two or more teams are tied, final standings will be determined by the highest scoring tiebreaker player (total points scored by that player for the playoffs) on the tied entries. Submit your roster to this thread in the following format (example of a roster) QB - J. Allen, Buf QB - Brady, TBB RB - Henry, TEN RB - Mitchell, SF WR - Chase, CIN WR - Kupp, LAR TE - Kelce, KCC TE - Goedert, PHI K - Carlson, LVR K - Prator, ARI DST - Patriots DST - Cowboys *Make sure to highlight the player you selected as your tiebreaker (use bold, italics, arrows, hell you can use bananas for all I care as long as it is noticeable) If you wish to change your roster after entering it, do not edit your original entry post, simply make a new reply pointing out that you wish to change your entry and what lineup you are submitting in its place. All entries will be recorded at 1 PM EST Saturday, Jan 11th to prevent edits. Rosters will be loaded into an MFL league:https://www43.myfantasyleague.com/2024/ajax_ls?L=42240

    Now that Trump is dismantling the world...

    I really don't care. I'm fine bringing reusable bags with me. Although thin plastic bags were not really the problem. I always held onto them and reused them as pet poop bags, trash liners in the bathroom and office, to go bags for friends, etc etc. I now have so many reusable shopping bags I have no clue what to do with them, and im not even someone who forgets their bags and buys more at the store. They are part of every corporate giveaway goody bag, charities send them when asking for donations. If I throw them out, how is that any better than throwing out the plastic bags? because eventually the felt will decompose? You could bring back the plastic bags in bulk to ShopRite if you wanted.

    Odds to win next super bowl.

    Darnold is much more the QB you saw at the end of the season. I was happy for him, playing so well but when you have a good line, a smart veteran RB and you get to throw to JJ, Addison, Hock, etc... you should probably have some degree of success. if McCarthy is healthy, they should be good enough again to be in the playoffs.

    Aberg should be a lock after what he did to me last event If you removed the "to win", how many additional legs would you need to add to get a similar payout? i'll play around with it. during football season I did a weekly anytime TD lottery ticket parlay. $1-$2 to win 900k+. I actually got kind of close one week later in the season. I had 12/13 hit in the 1pm games with 8 minutes to go. Chase Brown was the last guy in that wave. Cincy had it 1st and goal at the 3, he failed to punch it in. I cashed out for $100. I still needed 6 more legs in the 4pm window but it was getting exciting. Would have liked to see what the cash out offer might have got to if I was alive for the 4pm games and a few guys scored early. During the 1pm games the cash out never got above $350 which actually surprised me. I wonder where it would have needed to be to get a 6 figure cash out option. 17/19 at halftime of the 4pm games?

    Odds to win next super bowl.

    Bengals, Chargers and Vikings all look like nice plays at those odds. Hard to not still like KC. I also don't care so much about the Lions losing their coordinators so +1000 seems better than Lamar at +700. I also don't see a repeat for Philly so definitely not interested at +600

    Hair Loss Thread

    I am very much not 'metrosexual' but have always tried to maintain my hair. Had super thin hair and was always self conscious about it. Middle school and high school I used a lot of thickening shampoos and more or less just changed my diet to add more veggies and proteins. I never had thick hair or good hair but it definitely improved. My hair has more or less remained the same with phases of thinning and then phases of seemingly thickening again. I don't so much have hair loss or hair falling out as much as just thin hair strands in general. But I have also diligently paid attention to my hair through the years. I've used finasteride. As recently as early 2023. I can say that when I got a prescription for it that time, my pharmacy said my insurance did not cover it because it was considered cosmetic. So I ended up going through Keeps instead and it was much cheaper. a 3 month supply was less than $100 (the pharmacy price was like $80 for a month) and the Keeps dosage was higher so I could cut the pills and it was a 6 month supply. Just a tip if you want to save money on propecia. I don't even use it anymore. I've used rogaine foam but not consistently. I've always believed a lot of things are best tackled internally and naturally. So I tend to go the supplement route. I use collagen pills, biotin, saw palmetto. And I still use thickening shampoos. American Crew makes a good one. And I try to rotate between 3-4. And when eggs become affordable again, an egg wash is great for your hair. But again, more so for thickening not regrowing.

    Let’s Talk About Our Beloved Pets Again

    Had a black lab who lived to 14. Next dog will probably be another. Currently have a 3 year old cat. Eats like a dog, wants to go in the yard, gives his paw, doesn't like other cats (or dogs really)... probably ended up this was because I grew up with only dogs. I focked up when he was a kitten and fed him like a dog rather than, as I learned later, a lot of people leave a bowl of dry food out all day and cats will graze on it slowly. If I put out dry food he inhales it like he hasn't had a meal in a week.
