    Board Games

    I still love this game but it's one of the more advanced games I have because there's a lot to balance overall, plus there's the whole simultaneous turn thing which tends to throw people off. It's a great game but yeah, drunk people aren't the best audience.

    Eichel is also 19. All people are whiny as shit at 19. It is known. That said, I also wish he would accept the circumstances of them being tied together and roll with it.

    Cousins gettin'franchised. Mario Williamscut. Less than a week to the "official" tampering period for FA. I think Cowboys go Ramsey at 4 if he's still there and pick up a QB in 2nd or 3rd.

    Imma gripe for a second so bear with me. Most of our app ecosystem runs off a bunch of timers and schedulers. Next check-in time being one of them. Set up a timer, set the time to execute the task, wait until the task completes to set the next time it needs to run. Or so I thought... We'd...

    Dunno. 4.2 isn't going on test (it's what, two weeks from release?) but they need to stick 4.3 on there because of the PvP stuff (new regs map, rishi arena map). The Bowdaar arena isn't story specific, just additional content, and it's supposed to be in 4.2 so that's likely why it's in there...

    Saw an article that talked about how the Seahawks had changed the way they tackle and taught tackling. Basically, target the center of gravity, lead with your shoulder, and wrap your arms. I mean, basic stuff when you think about it. Players were saying they had to learn how to do that because...

    As far as I can tell that's just a visual thing. At least in Android Studio (which is built with IntelliJ) it is. The lambda is "greyed" and if you click on it, it expands out into the entire thing. The plugin (RetroLambda) literally allows me to use lambdas and the IDE even offers...

    Android is full of this. Someone developed a plugin for Android Studio which allows for the use of Lambdas though, and between that and a View Injection library I've eliminated all but a few UI related AICs.

    I'm sure some people in Dallas would want Jerry to go after him, he's been a pretty solid producer even in down years, but they already have McFadden to fill the veteran role. That said, I'm sure if the price is right it's not out of the question. Last year proved McFadden can produce, so Forte...

    Wife and I are alike in enough ways to make being together worthwhile but have enough differences to keep things interesting.

    It happens a lot, I agree, but it just as often doesn't happen. I recall that Green Bay/Arizona playoff game back in 2009/10 where Arizona stripped Rodgers in OT and ran it back for a touchdown. The replay clearly showed a facemask, the helmet even turned a little, but no call. I'd like to...

    Not sure if troll. Illegal hands to the face typically only gets called when a player gets a hand up into the helmet and is pushing the helmet or head up. Similarly, facemask gets called if there's clear and obvious grabbing of the facemask and moving of the helmet via that action. Good refs...
