I started watching The Chair Company

Admittedly, I don't get into characters who are manic, especially the main character. I'm not sure, but it seems like it's trying to be worked in as humor. I'm not even sure it's interesting.

Does it get better?

Maybe the question is, does it get different?

Water heater...

Six year old water heater, the wiring overheated and, best guess, triggered the fuse stopping a fire.

Anyone deal with repairing this themselves?

Is this a malfunction, or could something have happened in the the box, such as a loose/bad connection that finally loosened enough to cause issue?

36 year old Dynasty Fantasy Basketball League with an open team...

Ten team, Indianapolis based league (we have four owners who aren't near Indy).

Roto style, weekly transactions, nine categories.

$110 entry fee.

We have a separate rookie drat every June, along with a June free agent draft. We head into the season, effectively, drafting our bench.

DM if you're interested, and feel free to ask any questions here, if you want, as well.

Advice on a drywall repair / replace...

Ignore my ghetto Christmas lights. I keep them up and don't use other lights. Call me sentimental.<br>

Condo built in 1989, which I bought in 1999. That wall had three full length mirrors, which I recently took down. As 'Boogie Nights' as that sounds, it did add a lot of natural light to the area. I have started to remove the glue, but it's a pain in the butt.

There is a built in banquette on the far left.

This is DIY, and I do a lot of woodworking and home repairs in general. I have never worked with drywall, taping or mudding.

Should continue to remove the glue and do all the repair work, or would it much easier to replace the three drywall sheets?

Fake Trade with Sacramento...

This trade doesn't take place until after July 1.

Walker's contract would be $8.5M
Sheppard's $5M
Huff's $2.3M

Monk's contract value next year is $20M

https://preview.redd.it/s2xbp7ogzo4h1.png?width=1180&format=png&auto=webp&s=ec9c15c78a4ef73f5eb87349314134de53f6339e

What problem does it solve for Indiana:

It gives them scoring punch off the bench they lost in moving off Mathurin, and at that, Monk is a better secondary playmaker than Mathurin has remotely shown early in his career.

Walker has shown to be somewhat of a secondary playmaker, or at least the ball doesn't stick with him. However, there is too much of an unknown what he can give them in games that truly matter.

Maybe they're dealing from an area of depth, considering Kobe Brown.

What problem does it solve for Sacramento:

This would give them a young forward to see if he's worthy of playing alongside Keegan Murray, especially if they felt inclined to reshuffle the deck -- trade DeRozan.

Also, while not a bad contract, it gives them flexibility to get a year of Monk's money off the book at $21M.

They clear A LOT of money after 2027. They would get year of Walker before deciding if they wanted to sign him as an RFA.

The same with Sheppard. Perhaps in an environment where he's forced to play, he can prove what his level is.

The pick they get from Indiana is a decent risk. If Haliburton can't recapture the magic he had before his injury (even if it's just because he's not fully back this season), depending on where Giannis ends up, the Pacers might be a play-in team.

We all think they'll be a top 4-5 seed, but there are some scenarios, but who knows just yet.

Jazz rotation for next...

Let's assume they take Peterson at #2.

C - Kessler
PF - JJJ
SF - Markannen (this is what he played in Cleveland)
SG - Peterson
PG - George

Ace Bailey off the bench?

Are you comfortable with JJJ at center, Markannen at PF, Bailey at SF?

Pels PG next year...

Are the Pels going to turn to Fears and look to move Murray, or is it too soon for a team that is looking to compete?

What is the recommendation from users about the Lumin smoker feature?

I'm likely in the market for an electric grill, due to changing HOA regulations, and I'm really not in the mood for a legal battle, even though my setup does not violate fire codes.

I digress...

I'm looking Weber Lumin vs. Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill

The Ninja seems clear cut, especially on how to use the smoke pellets, but the Weber Lumin seems way more versatile in regards to cooking surfaces.

I've seen a review for the Weber Lumin saying to NOT add water to the tray for the pellets.

What's been anyone's experience with the smoker ability of the Lumin? I've not ever smoked meat before for flavor, but it's kind of a next step, especially as I'm seeing electric grill options.

Long standing, roto style fantasy basketball league looking for a participant...

I help run a roto styled fantasy basketball league. It's a weekly transaction league, that we started in 1990. (Two of the OG's remain)

  • Nine stat categories
  • Roster protection leading into two June drafts
    • Rookie draft
    • Summer FA draft
    • We also have our own weight lottery for teams who don't finish in the top 4
      • And yes, each year we designate at least one team the Pacers, so we can screw them over in the lottery 😊
  • Players have contracts (expiration years only, no dollar amounts)
    • Can't extend contracts, but...
    • You can Franchise up to three players each June
    • This keeps teams from just hoarding talent and compels roster management
  • We have an Exempt List for rookies you don't play
    • Allows you to build through the draft

We use CBS Sportsline, which covers 90% of our rules. We have rules that deal with trade partners, making sure lineups are healthy and our offseason drafts.

The weekly transactions are all handled through CBS. Nothing complicated.

$110 league fee (10 owners)

  • $10 goes to CBS Sports
  • $50 goes toward weekly awards ($500)
    • If you finish a weekly stat period in the top 4 = $5
    • Used to provide an opportunity cost to curb tanking
  • $50 goes toward the top 4 in the final standings ($500)
    • 1st gets 40%
    • 2nd 30%
    • 3rd 20%
    • 4th 10%

We have one open roster. However, we would consider expanding if we get enough interested parties. It started as a 10 team league, moved to 12, then reduced back to 10 around 2004.

DM if interested, and certainly if you have any questions, reply openly.
