Dak P. in a meaningless game against a weak defense or Trevor L. in a favorable matchup?

I probably need several homeruns to beat a team with Puka. Mccaffree, Pitts, etienne, maye, etc

1. Wilson and Godwin are the safer plays. I like T. Hill at TE

2. I like Stevenson (if Henderson is out) and mcConkey. Maybe Carter if Henderson is in

3. Still like hill at TE. A TE off of the practice squad could get some of kittles targets. Warren at flex

4. Sutton
Harvey

5. Amon ra




I managed construction on a few of the buildings and stayed there multiple times since.

Pros:
- It’s nice and well maintained
- Lots of amenities and activities
- Nice restaurant
- Very nice tennis courts
- Tiki bar by the pool
- More secluded than most condos
- Good fishing at the right times
- If you need more room and don’t like condos, the cottages are a nice alternative.
- 2 excellent golf courses are really close, and 2 more really nice ones are within 8-15 miles
- they have their own firework shows during 4th of July, and possibly new years(never stayed there then)
- clubhouse/spa/indoor pool/arcade/etc. is nice, but an added cost.
- jesses on the bay isn’t far.

Cons:
- It’s older than some of the newer condos, so some condo units might have older finishes like popcorn ceilings (over concrete) and laminate tops (less likely anymore).
- The beach is wide and beautiful, but you can see gas rigs when you’re that close to the bay. As a fisherman, this doesn’t bother me, but I’m sure some consider it unsightly
- more secluded = longer drive. It’s around half way to the fort.
- I’m not really a fan of the management company, but that is likely more of a personal issue. They are proactive, and keep the place attractive.
- Wide beach = longer walk across an attractive boardwalk. It’s probably not the best place for families with 1 Ton beach carts.



Is anyone selling physical silver right now? How close to spot value (ask) are you getting?

Local coin shop quoted me 12% under spot for bullion. Not so local coin shop told me they didn’t want to buy any more large bars, but they offered a commission arrangement where I would get spot value and they would get the premium.

For all you guys holding metal, any benefits of holding coins over bullion or vice versa?


Not that I see. When raw metal prices soar, it significantly erodes any additional numismatic value. The only value in coins vs large bars right now is the ability to sell small amounts.

10 team PPR

I need to start 2 of the following;

A. Jones, Sr at Dallas
K. Gainwell vs Miami
S. Diggs vs Bills
K. Walker III vs Indy

Yes, my team is terrible.
Chainsaw, limb, ladder x 3
Roof, limb, pole saw
Roof, ladder, steep pitch

FA doesn’t always = FO as non of these resulted in injury.

I have cut plenty of smaller limbs off of trees knowing they were coming down on my head.

I did drop a larger limb in my driveway and watched as it put a 4” dent in my Expedition. Felt pretty dumb watching that.

re: ideas for garage door drainage issue

Posted by T-Jon on 12/6/25 at 10:27 am to
You might have to adjust the door to put 3/4” blocks underneath it, but this is a much better solution than cutting the weatherstripping to permanently let critters in. The “best” solution is to cut in a trench drain inside the door and pipe it outside to a French drain or pop up emitter. The “best” solution may not be a practical one. I would probably just open the door occasionally to let water out.

If you already have a covered porch with columns, all you technically need is the aluminum frame, screen, door kit, and spline. I would be concerned that the installer wants you to buy the material.
Roughly calculate your amp load. If it’s less than 80% of the breaker rating, replace the breaker. GF/AF breakers seem to go bad often. Especially with power surges.

re: Upgrading Circuit Panel in Home

Posted by T-Jon on 11/12/25 at 10:46 pm to
Hiring a licensed electrician is probably your best move, unless you want to learn how to run load calcs.

I don’t think anyone will be able to help you with the information you provided, other than recommending an electrician.

If you just need more space for additional circuits, and a electrician gave you the advise, adding a sub panel is likely the way to go.
11:32 AM EST, 11/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Nebius Group (NBIS) struck a $3 billion deal to provide artificial intelligence infrastructure to Meta Platforms (META), as the Dutch AI cloud company's third-quarter sales more than quadrupled year over year.

Nebius agreed to deploy AI compute capacity for the Facebook and Instagram owner under a five-year agreement, Chief Executive Arkady Volozh said in a Tuesday letter to shareholders discussing Nebius' third-quarter results.

"Over the next three months, we plan to deploy the capacity needed to service the agreement," Volozh said. "In fact, demand for this capacity was overwhelming, and the size of the contract was limited to the amount of capacity that we had available."

Meta didn't reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.

The agreement follows a similar deal Nebius announced with Microsoft (MSFT) in September.

Nebius' revenue for the September quarter surged 355% year over year to $146.1 million, though it trailed the FactSet-polled consensus of $155.1 million. Adjusted net loss widened to $100.4 million from $39.7 million a year earlier.
There is no good reason, that I am aware of, to clear coat painted wood. Spend your money on a high quality exterior paint.

I laughed out loud when I read this. You could have saved the Chinese a lot of work with your wisdom.
Looks like his short position on NVDA was established in Q1. So he bought puts when the price per share was between $100 and $150.

Trying out a put calendar spread strategy on app lovin.

Bought 1 APP Put 2/20/26 $630 strike $94.31 premium

Sold 1 APP Put 11/7/25 $605 strike $36.96 premium

Trying to sell an OTM put every week and hope it expires worthless. Hopefully I can reduce the strike each week as well. APP might be too volatile for this - may learn an expensive lesson.
