Baron Harkonnen vibes.

They are still federal workers and federal worker protections would still apply.

Dungeon Crawler Karl is pretty great.

OP used meters, so it’s pretty likely they’re not in the US.

The generator looks like it’s in a hydro plant, so that was my assumption. I’ve heard of one in Wyoming or Colorado with a rock wall in the control room, but I’ve never seen anything like that before.

What power plant is this? Is that a rock wall in the back? Was this built into the side of a mountain?

The issue is those coal, nuclear, hydro plants are what produce power when the sun isn’t out. If you consistently shut them down for solar, they will go out of business and there will be no way to provide electricity when solar doesn’t.

It doesn’t sound like you hate going out, just being alone. Being out alone can suck, but the loneliness can’t be fixed without effort.

But they’re not just attacking ships supplying aid to Israel. They are attacking whatever passes by them. If it was to support Gaza, why would they have attacked a clearly marked Chinese ship?

I just googled them and the first thing that pops up is their Amazon page saying they are a clothing company founded in 2016…

As your standard middle aged SWM I wish you the best and don’t give up. I know you might be worried about people judging you for whatever reason, but to others you are an inspiration. You might not realize, but you are making the world a better place. If everyone had the courage to try and pursue the things that make them happy or make them feel whole we would live in a much better world. Don’t be discouraged, just keep loving yourself and be who you are.

I think you’re looking at it from a rational view. However, most people don’t actually look into things and instead just read headlines and make assumptions from there. They should absolutely look into any type of fraud, waste, and abuse but generally it is done behind closed doors. The only reason this is being broadcast out to the world, despite there being seemingly overwhelming evidence of no wrong doing, is to create headlines and a PERCEPTION of wrong doing. That perception is all they care about because to their constituents perception is reality.

Us Americans really need to learn from the Swedes.

Let’s hope we can get a couple more before we just disband it. Worst case is ESPN will disband it for us if we can’t find the players.

This draft was so ridiculous that I almost feel bad. It is a 14 team standard league where I picked at the 12 spot.

QB: Sam Howell and Kenny Pickett

RB: Bijan, Gibbs, Matteson, Breece Hall, Tank Bigsby

WR: Garrett Wilson, Calvin Ridley, Mike Evans, Terry Mclaurin, Zay Flowers, Smith-Njigba

TE: Kelce

This was even a money league. People were picking a backup quarterback before they had their RB or WR slots full (which is why QB is my only bad position). Brock Purdy went #1 overall.

I like Love and think he will be better than consensus, but still a mid range QB2. I think at best he may push close to the QB1 range.

Christian Watson will be a top 10 WR.

I think you’re okay, but 8 team leagues are hard because you need the absolute best players. I like Herbert and Tua for your QBs though and your WRs are great. You obviously have the best TE so that is huge. RB is your biggest question mark, but Jacobs will be good and Taylor could be top 12 from the start IF he gets back or gets traded to the Dolphins. If not, Mattison should be very solid and Gibbs will be really good (or even great, especially if something happens with Montgomery).

Yeah, your team isn’t perfect but it could be set up very well if a couple of things go your way.

Signed up!

12 team standard IDP. I drafted at spot #10.

QB: Fields

RBs: Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, James Cook, Carbonnet

WRs: Garrett Wilson, Christian Watson, Courtland Sutton, Zay Flowers, Rashee Rice, Romeo Doubs

TEs: Freiermuth, Sam LaPorta

K: Brett Maher

DB: Kyle Dugger

DL: Nick Bosa

LB: Ernest Jones

I’m somewhat happy with the lineup. TE is questionable and I maybe have too much faith in Christian Watson. I would be super happy if this was a dynasty league since all of the players are super young.
