Halfway decent day already the mall is kind of vacant and that's why it's still a little firming around and senile people sick people but they're kind of hanging out and making the best of it going on to another top it hopefully

-super race change and they don't believe in being organized that much or having it together and they kind of get lit on their own and it kind of looking around for people who are doing it started latching on to our son and he said not really and put on a few major directions and they did not do it and acted too and they found they require tons of maintenance and then playing everybody else no matter what what he says is so that's what we say

-there's other things going on they are pretty big one of them is about Donald Trump what t-shirt said I could s*** a better president that was Ken and he is in court and his trial comes up in the 15th criminal trial for bringing an election and attempting to and they're doing Cherry selection and he has two gaggers on him and he's violated both and he's going to court today and they intend on holding him and for committed crimes and the guy has a blustery criminal I mean he is everything about him is brings a lot now and he's terrible he doesn't mean anything people have rules these guys have rules and he doesn't want to pay anything and nobody wants that

-on top of this is to push to do it and he naturally doesn't anyways so he's screaming what he's going to do and he's screaming what he's all about and people all over the planet are saying we don't need it that loud we see what you're doing and he just keeps doing it I'm going after this in the eastern hemisphere they're screaming what they're up to absolutely screaming and it is more or less destroying them they're stashes and caches it's midday it's through the night halfway are at about 45% of what they were several months ago and getting worse the pseudo empire is also attacked their bunkers are at 35% of capacity which is poor their top side bases land-based 35% of capacity that's very poor the laser bases are at about 30% of capacity all of which is very bad and still be a Counter-Strike and the idiots are going to take it on the nose and don't get it

-here in the Western hemisphere the warlock gearing up and they're going to fill up Alabama and Georgia and I'll get emptied again by tomorrow morning we think it might be another 1.5% or even more because they're going after Oregon and Washington and they're going after the bunkers invases in areas of operation all the same time.

-there's a few more things to consider on this life of ours is our sons as well and he said it's torturous they're so damn cheap that they should follow dead in front of him for what they're doing it is so criminal that they should turn the whole town into a prison and it's true they're just heinous losers all of them are threatening him for stuff and it just does not work they've lost more stuff than anybody that's ever existed it's pitiful so we're putting a different programs now maybe see what he's saying it's going to change soon and they want to blame us but really it's coming and it's just pushing them out it's odds at the mall is empty there's tons of them are really around and they're trying to figure out what to do and it's a better idea it really is going to work much better and coming in walking around and being a fart face LOL still time for that we see a lot of people buying campers right now millions that came down from Orlando Tampa into the ocean on the East Coast and all around Tampa Brandon every place he could imagine they're coming down and buying campers and trucks and they're being shipped down here by the truckload they're all buying a certain model to get a truck it's like a 20 ft camper and they go and it's really probably the best size for F-150 or f250 smaller is better but that's probably the way you want to max out at and that's what they say and it's really true and that's what they're doing it is common now there's also a lot of that particular Coleman I think it's a 17 and it's close to 20 but it's very lightweight and they're buying tons of those it's very sturdy too huge numbers of campers of all different types are being bought and sold should I have numbers of them are taken out of the Midwest storage huge numbers today and it all coming down here no but they're going to the east coast into here huge huge numbers and what the intend to do is to build up forces to get stone chips and take the country back and all that stuff and they want to use minority more luck and everybody and they're probably will try

-additionally there are large number of folks coming down who appear to be warlock minority and they're not and people tell them to take the makeup off and they're slowly doing that it's a huge huge day because most of them are trying to find a way out of here and so we just came from up there as hell in how you supposed to get by and I think all the campers are to stay here with so you find out that people just drive out the road and our son was right after time they start worrying about getting damaged and they're watching it huge numbers I'm going to leave I always say that it's not a massive Exodus but it's the leaders

-this war happening because of the buildup that they want to leave in the day and it's not not started building up too much yet usually it starts around 8:00 p.m. so they have that window so we're going to publish

There's a ton of people in Walmart and they're getting food and supplies to the campers huge huge numbers of them are buying kerosene and LPG all types of it mostly the Blue rhino and we ship so many in we thought we were going to get killed and it wasn't enough they keep coming it is just non-stop and we can see it but holy cow is it's incredible and who that love this idea and we don't know why we need campers so we do and we have to get out there and get situated and it's a pain so we're getting all this together and we're moving out there and we're going to Arizona summit New Mexico not much a little in Texas not really a bunch in California and the rest of the South and we figured out something these guys are saying why don't you get out of there it's true we're taking ourselves it's utter nonsense so I'm giving orders out today for people to evacuate and they're moving it out and they really should this place sucks can't do anything with anyone for anyone it's very restrictive and they're using power and it's gross he's a good guy said you got to be kidding me it's another week of this s*** not to make sure that day and they're thinking of years or something

Trump

That's true all across the board they're very strange I'll be blowing it we got to get out of here we do see what happens they are going into the diamonds on more than just three I think it's 8:00 and it's true and they are very aggressive and they're pushing people out as a cruise come down they work shifts and it's going to be a huge influx down here

Bja

We are pushing pretty hard and we need the living space and people are moving out and we're leaving New England as we're leaving we see people trying to take the apartments and losing versus foreigners and some Max and some big fellows

Mac daddy

He says maybe the Norwegian no

It's cuz a huge army we need to respect them more nobody gives a s*** they're just dumb he says Lady Gaga says it all the time and she's a wicked rancid b**** there says we were born this way.. good they have a way of dealing with it

...

Really get this going no it's going pretty good said what about the train put a few more cars on there and get them the hell out come back with stuff in the cars and I thought about that and really it's not that feasible the train only takes like a thousand people so why not bring the train down to Walmart and s*** yeah we do that already I serious saying you take that housing lot and fill it with containers full of s*** then you bring the container out when it's emptied and use dust control you might actually do that I'm not going to live here there aren't

Mac

Well I'm up top and my son and daughter in there and yeah we are thinking about this kind of stuff you need to get some logistics people and Dave did and some others but really it's a mess there's other things happening

-we really think people should bolt stuff down and skinny to be that time and I'll send you his help bolting things down right now people are moving all over the world and was sending alerts. Today is going to be a really big day most of it is just moving around stuff and but there's a war in the eastern hemisphere and the pseudo empire is defeated. Stan wisinski is still running and he is going into the populace and getting in trouble so for him no he's in trouble too he's a wise ass and has clones that are normal and it's a problem and they couldn't beat up by everybody and it's horrible it's going on Timmy d is going out and getting beaten up and the information is getting lost to Big parties about 75% of the headquarters overseas it's their areas of operation are 50 to 60% destroyed and the rest of it is evacuating now and we mean all of the group's clans this it might be it for them in the Eastern hemisphere and people say it but we don't think so they have a lot of other places no they have several bases left and bunkers they're down to 35% across the board but it is going to take a Time for that not too long ago but they have ships and they can regain stuff a little bit but they're taking they're taking a beating a big one and the numbers are going to be big tonight

-also along with the pseudo empire taking a beating the morlock are taking a hammering they are getting smaller and smaller by the minute the rate is now 1.0 an hour for Mac morlock and the others are not faring that bad mostly their attitude sucks and it's forcing them to evacuate beautiful and alert out and take a break

Tagged by @agirlnamedkeith, @pretty--thief, and @samirant, thank you! <333

What is the colour of your hairbrush? Mostly black, with a green ring on it.

Name a food you never eat: I have quite a few foods I can’t eat anymore thanks to some random health issues I developed a few years back (friends, aging is great from a mental/emotional perspective, Not Great from a physical perspective) but in terms of voluntary stuff, green peppers. I’ve outgrown a lot of my childhood food dislikes but that one is in my SOUL.

Are you typically too warm or too cold? Too cold, definitely.

What were you doing 45 minutes ago? I was in a boring meeting!

What’s your favourite candy bar? Probably Snickers? I really like 100 Grand too, though. And Butterfinger. And Twix. And I want Claire Saffitz to make all of them for me.

Have you ever been to a professional sports game? I’ve been going to Major League baseball games since I was a kid (it was my dad’s favorite sport), and the past few years, I’ve been to 20-30 games a season. I usually go for my birthday, too, which is in a couple of weeks, and it’s just kinda sinking in that there will be no birthday baseball for me this year. :(

What was the last thing you said out loud? Just saying hi to my husband.

What is your favourite ice cream? Coffee Heath Bar Crunch. I can’t have caffeine anymore so this summer I’m gonna try to make a decaf version for myself. (WHY IS ALMOST ALL COFFEE ICE CREAM CAFFEINATED. There are so many reasons people can’t have caffeine! Sigh.)

What was the last thing you had to drink? Water!

Do you like your wallet? Sure? It’s a nice blue and it holds my stuff.

What was the last thing you ate? Fruit and Greek yogurt for breakfast.

Did you buy any new clothes last weekend? I didn’t! I actually ordered a couple of soft bras from TomboyX on Monday, but nothing on the weekend.

What’s the last sporting event you watched? A replay of an old Mariners game a couple of nights ago. If we’re talking live sports, I watched about half of a Korean baseball league game a few nights back, which was delightful.

What is your favourite flavour of popcorn? Butter!

Who is the last person you sent a text message to? @ajoblotofjunk

Ever go camping? Not in a long time. My husband has been getting the urge to go lately, though, so maybe we will!

Do you take vitamins? I take supplements due to the aforementioned health issues. And vitamin B.

Do you go to church every Sunday? Lol no. My mother is very Catholic and she brought us to 6 am Mass every weekday when I was a kid. It was well-intentioned (her dad had a pretty volatile temperament and she always felt safe at church, so she subconsciously wanted us to feel the same way) but it did not sell me on the experience! Heh.

Do you have a tan? I live in the Seattle area and it’s May, so... lol no. I’m also pretty pale so I don’t get that tan anyway, but. I usually get a little something going in the summer, enough to have tan lines anyway.

Do you prefer Chinese food or pizza? Tough call, but I’m going with pizza.

Do you drink your soda through a straw? I don’t drink soda anymore (though I drink a LOT of carbonated water), but I’ll drink my drink through a straw if I get it at a fast-food place. Otherwise I don’t usually use one.

What colour socks do you usually wear? Most of my winter socks for work are black. Otherwise it’s a pretty random selection of colors.

Do you ever drive above the speed limit? Sure. Usually 5-10 miles over, rarely more (or less) than that.

What terrifies you? Climate change. Global pandemics. You know. Just generally suffering (both mine and other people’s).

Look to your left. What do you see? Through window of the room I’m sitting in: my neighbors’ house, and a cherry tree in their yard.

What chore do you hate most? Cleaning the bathrooms.

What do you think of when you hear an Australian accent? The hot Australian woman who’s been on Gold Rush recently, or a dear fannish friend of mine I haven’t talked to in years who is actually from New Zealand and I KNOW IT’S VERY DIFFERENT but it’s close enough to make me think of her!

What’s your favourite soda? I used to drink a lot of Diet Mountain Dew. I really miss ginger beer, too. I love a good spicy ginger beer. Root beer too.

Do you go in a fast food place or just hit the drive-thru? Drive-thru all the way. Isn’t that part of the advantage of fast food?

What’s your favourite number? I don’t really have one!

Who’s the last person you talked to? My husband!

Favourite cut of beef? Boneless ribeye. I finally bought a propane grill a couple of years back and I have now learned to make a badass steak, if I say so myself.

Last song you listened to? Eve 6 - Inside Out. A few months ago I suddenly remembered that this song existed and so I bought it and now I have to listen to it at least twice every time it comes up, ha.

Last book you read? An as-yet-unpublished Rose Lerner novel, because I am very lucky! (It’s a wlw Gothic. SUCH A GOOD CONCEPT.)

Favourite day of the week? Saturday

Can you say the alphabet backwards? In this economy??? Idk, I could probably figure it out, but it would definitely be work.

How do you like your coffee? I love a caramel macchiato, especially iced so you get those weird globules of caramel coming up through the straw. But a nonfat decaf double latte with a little bit of some kind of syrup is my go-to these days--hot when it’s cold out, iced when it’s warm out.

Favourite pair of shoes? I have these 40s-ish heels that tie over your instep with a little bow and I love them. I also have some extremely cool red velvet with black cording peep-toe Louboutins that I bought off some discount site years ago, except I can’t wear them for long because they’re about a half size too small. But they’re SO PRETTY.

Time you normally get up? In isolation, I’m discovering that my natural sleep schedule is about 2 am - 10 am. But I have a daily meeting at 9:30, and I try to get my workout done before that, so I get up at 8-8:30ish. I am discovering through this meme that SO MANY of you are morning people! What is that like???

Sunrises or sunsets? I love sunrises but I am not remotely a morning person, so. I see a lot more sunsets, and I love them too!

How many blankets are on your bed? Just one duvet.

Describe your kitchen plates. We have some with blue perimeters and kind of a white/oatmeal middle that we inherited from my in-laws, and the ones we actually bought on purpose are white on top and either sage-y green or charcoal black on the bottom.

Describe your kitchen at the moment. Somewhat messy, or at least there are dishes to do. I made some pretty epic cauliflower mushroom risotto with shrimp last night, though, so it was for a good cause.

Do you have a favourite alcoholic drink? Perfect Manhattans with rye are my go-to, or a Quebecois, which is basically a perfect Manhattan with a little bit of maraschino liqueur added (and ideally a lemon twist, though we’re usually too lazy for those). In the summer, I’m getting really into gin these days: either gin and tonic, gin and some kind of citrus spiked seltzer, or a Last Word. I also really love a good craft beer, and sparkling wine too.

Do you play cards? Not really. We used to play a shit ton of gin rummy in high school, but I haven’t really played cards much since.

What colour is your car? Blue!

Do you know how to change a tire? Theoretically yes, though the one time I actually tried to do it myself, I had a hell of a time getting the lug nuts off. I was fortunately in my driveway at the time (good place for a flat tire!) and my neighbors kept coming by and offering to help, and I was like NO I WANNA DO IT. I think I did need help eventually, though. Stupid pneumatic tools at tire installation places!

Your favourite state? That rare, usually-brief phase of writing where everything seems to fit and flow and you’re a genius and you understand all the secrets of the cosmos. Also Washington.

Favourite job you’ve had? My current one. It’s not my dream job, but it pays well and I like my team and I get to learn new stuff fairly often and I can work from home in the midst of all this, so. I am very lucky!

How did you get your biggest scar? The summer after my freshman year of college, I was part of a summer stock theatre troupe, and we performed half the summer at my college, and half the summer in a very small town in eastern Oregon that had an outdoor stage. One of my entrances involved running over the grass to get to the stage, and one night the grass was wet, and my costume involved ballet slippers, and I slipped and fell onto the stage stairs in front of the whole audience. It hurt SO MUCH that I got very light-headed onstage while I was trying to get through the scene, lol. Anyway, my costume also involved harem pants that had elastic around the calf/ankle area, and I got a friction burn from those, which ended up scarring because the skin over your shins is very thin! (I also got a few massive bruises on my leg that didn’t go away for weeks, so eventually my mom nagged me into going to the doctor, who promptly started gently hinting to see if my boyfriend at the time was responsible for the injuries. Which was actually pretty cool of the doctor! But then I was like, lol no, trust me, a hundred people saw me bite it, this is 100% dumbass mistake.) And that’s my scar story.

Tagging, if you want to do it: @ajoblotofjunk, @snowymary, @halcyon-red, @it-may-be-dull-but-im-determined, @unadulteratedkr, and anyone else who feels like doing this!

Hi again! So, you've probably heard about it by now, but I saw an article about the possibility of Asian giant hornets having migrated over to the U.S. I clearly have no knowledge on the subject beyond what I read in the article (and that's hardly any basis to form an opinion on lol) and I know that this kind of falls under your realm of expertise, so I was wondering if you might have anymore information to offer and possibly alleviate some anxieties??

Hi there! Yes, it seems it’s been bombarding everyone’s news feeds the past few days. I was actually just asked to talk about it on the radio today. I’ll preface this with the fact that I am not super familiar with the biology of this particular species, though I had heard of it before all of this and it’s heckin cool.

Is this wasp a problem? Potentially, yes. Should we call it a ‘murder hornet’ and use it as fodder for wasp hate everywhere? Absolutely not. If the Asian Giant Hornet is a problem, it’s because it could be invasive, not because it’s a wasp. Let’s break that down.

In its home range, this massive wasp specializes on hunting honeybees. Honeybees in Japan are not our honeybees, they’re an entirely different species, Apis cerana japonica (as opposed to western honeybees, Apis mellifera). Japanese honeybees evolved alongside this species, and they are together part of an ecosystem - giant hornets like this don’t just pop up like Godzilla ready to demolish society, they look and act the way they do because of millions of years of evolution alongside predators and prey and their environment. Their arms race is with the Japanese honeybee, which can tolerate temperatures in excess of 115 degrees Fahrenheit, and they will swarm the infiltrating wasp and cook it alive. This is a unique, special adaptation that came about because these two have been duking it out forever. So that’s step 1. This wasp is not some monstrous thing born of Cthulhu. It has an ecological place. Honeybees over there are perfectly used to it, just another day for them (there’s actually two other giant hornet species that attack hives sporadically as well over there). We just think it looks terrifying because it’s different than what we’re used to, and it amplifies our already-present fears of wasp-shaped creatures.

Step 2.1 The reasons why it could pose a problem in the U.S. Firstly, its sting is dangerous; obviously, its sting is very large and can deliver a lot of venom, and if you’ve seen the Coyote Peterson video on it, it causes long-lasting swelling and pain. One or even a few stings will not severely harm you, but seven, eight, a dozen, could potentially send you to the E.R. with severe inflammation and even renal failure. You’re more at risk from complications from fewer stings if you have pre-existing inflammation or breathing problems, and if you get stung someplace like your neck or face. Most victims, even those who are hospitalized, do make a full recovery. That being said, like any other social wasp we have, you’re only likely to get stung if you accidentally stumble upon a nest and can’t book it out of there fast enough. I cannot vouch for the natural aggressiveness of this species, but given its size, life history, and similarities to related species, I would say that it will probably have a fairly proactive response to disturbance, aka, yes, it absolutely does pose a health risk to humans and this is a valid reason to be concerned.

Step 2.2 The other reason people are worried. This wasp targets honeybees, which most people know are extremely important for our agricultural system. It can decimate whole hives of western honeybees, as they have not evolved the defenses necessary to fend them off. However, I’ve heard things like ‘they’re going to contribute to bee declines!’ and that is simply not the case. Honeybees are not native - they are not an essential part of our ecosystem, only our agricultural one. It will be an economic loss if we start losing honeybee colonies, but honeybees are not the bees that we should be concerned about here in North America. It’s our native bees that are declining at startling rates. These hornets will not attack our native bees, because they don’t build hives! Only a very small percentage of our >3,500 species of native bee live in colonies, and they’re almost all underground and with a tiny fraction of the number of workers that a honeybee colony has (instead of tens of thousands, think, a couple dozen). The rest are totally solitary. Not what this wasp is looking for; it has a search image, it knows how to seek out honeybee colonies and I highly doubt it would recognize bumblebees or sweat bees as prey. The reason why this hornet has the potential to do so much damage in the first place is a classic problem with monocultures; grow (or in this case, raise) too much of one thing in one place, and when a disease or pest comes by, it can easily sweep through the population with high mortality. It’s been recognized for a while now that we rely far too heavily on honeybees for our pollination; concerns over Colony Collapse Disorder sparked these discussions. This whole time, we should have been providing for wild, native bees, by giving them the habitat they need to live alongside us and pollinate our crops. Instead, we’ve pushed them out with monocultures, pesticides, and development, then decided to bring in a non-native species to replace them. This is a setup for disaster. The presence of this new threat should be a wakeup call to change our ways.

Step 3. Do not judge all wasps by this one species. ‘Murder hornet’ is not a term that allows us to discuss this animal objectively. The VAST majority of native wasps are small, stingless species which most of us never notice, yet they perform invaluable ecological services as parasitoids. Our stinging species are still mostly solitary and non-aggressive, and are pollinators and predators on common garden pests. And you know what? Yellowjackets, bald-faced hornets (not a true hornet, actually), paper wasps, the ones people don’t like? They’re beneficial too, for the same reasons as above. They are a crucial part of our ecosystem, and are aggressive only if we threaten their colonies, which contain their young. This introduced species posing risks to us does NOT give us the right to condemn our native species to fear and hatred. Wasps already have a bad rap. Don’t make this fuel for the fire. If this wasp is dangerous, it’s not because it’s a wasp. It’s because it’s an invasive species that lacks the checks and balances of its natural habitat. Invasive species can be plants, fungi, or animals, and just because this one is a wasp doesn’t mean you get to lump all other wasps in with it.

Lastly, I’m already seeing people all over the country start to claim they are seeing this wasp. You are not. Unless you live in Washington, at this time, you’re seeing something else. Let me show you a few, in case you are mistaken:

European Hornet - Vespa crabro. (Photo) Non-native, but established in the eastern U.S. Largest wasp most people have ever seen, but still half the size of the queen Asian giant hornet. Acts like other yellowjackets and such, no serious ecological threat.

Eastern Cicada Killer - Sphecius speciosus (photo). Native, found east of the Rockies. Specializes on hunting cicadas. A large, solitary wasp, but not aggressive. Lives in burrows in the ground. About the size of the European hornet. They like sandy areas, so you might see them in fields or playgrounds.

Paper wasps - Polistes spp. (photo). Native, common across the country, some species have yellow markings, others are brown or reddish. Social wasps, they build paper nests under awnings near human habitation, can be somewhat aggressive if you get too close to the nest but otherwise are approachable when foraging on flowers. Smaller, usually 3/4 inch or so.

Potter and mason wasps - Eumeninae spp. (photo). We have hundreds of species of potter wasp, and in the southern U.S. many of them have red and yellow markings. This particular one is Euodynerus pratensis from Texas. These are solitary wasps, and are not very large, usually not exceeding 1/2 an inch, maybe the largest are 3/4in. They make mud nests, sometimes near human habitation, but they are docile and rarely cause conflict.

Great Golden Digger Wasp - Sphex ichneumoneus (photo). Common across the U.S., a large native solitary wasp common on flowers. Not really the same body structure as a vespid but just in case... these guys scare some people because they are large and gangly but they hunt grasshoppers and katydids and are generally non-intrusive. They live in underground burrows, not near humans. They’re good pollinators too!

I hope that alleviates some fear that comes with people starting to claim they’re seeing this wasp where it isn’t. It’s just another case of boy cries brown recluse spider. Most people are so unfamiliar with our native insect fauna that once they start noticing wasps, everything looks like the culprit just because they weren’t paying attention to what’s always been around them.

It sounds like they don’t know the extent of establishment yet, or when/how the AGH was introduced. Chances are, if people are starting to find them, then it’s already got a population. However, if early response methods can effectively control their spread, there’s a chance we can eliminate them. We have hundreds of invasive species here in the U.S. that are wreaking havoc on our ecosystems because we missed the short window in which to eradicate them. We do not know the total impact this hornet could have, until we thoroughly read the literature on its ecology back in Asia. It does pose a significant economic risk though, and a human health risk if they end up dwelling near human habitation (which they shouldn’t, I would think, unless you’ve got honeybee hives or feral colonies around). What we’re seeing is two non-natives battling it out - two species that should not be in North America at all. I do hope that we are able to stop this invasion in its tracks, but I also really hope it makes us reconsider the flaws in our agricultural system.

#thehermitreversed #asian giant hornet #wasps #insects #mine #i hope this helps a little?#i cannot deny that getting stung by this bamf can be deadly under certain circumstances #anyone else in this field who knows more about this situation please feel free to chime in!

OWL Season 2 Preseason Ranking

20. Toronto Defiant

I really wanted to put Washington here because I have no faith in that team. But the Toronto has a main tank I’m unfamiliar with and Main Tanks were extremely important in OWL way before goats meta. I see Neko and Envy and it really inspires me. I see Bishop and I’m like wow. But Bishop doesn’t really have a history of winning in Overwatch lately. From London to Cloud9 he really hasn’t been producing W’s. I like the roster a lot and maybe the meta shifts heavily in there favor but right now I don’t think Neko can fix a frontline issue.

19. Washington Justice

I do not like this roster. The late addition (they were all late) of Gido and Ado really inspires me but if Ado wasn’t enough to get Shanghai 1 W than he won’t be enough in what mite possibly be a more difficult season. 28 games and more down time in between. Well rested players, highly practiced, and prepared for there matches. Janus is really strong in this lineup and so are the coaches. I guess this roster would do pretty good in NA contenders.

18. Chengdu Hunters

I don’t trust the roster or the process. Highest level league play does something to teams with potential. It chews them up and spits them out. Maybe this is the good side of the Chinese scene that Shanghai never showed us in season 1. I probably have them ranked too low but what the Dragons did in season 1 worries me.

17. Guangzhou Charge

Either this team will be surprisingly good or really bad. It really depends on the coaching staff and how well they are supported by the org. A lot of there season depends on Rio and how well he works with the different players on the roster. They mite catch themselves halfway thru the season and start playing well.

16. Florida Mayhem

I like the roster a lot. I know BQB was accused of boosting but he’s extremely talented. xepheR is really good. Solid DPS, decent tanks, good supports (hopefully way better than last year). Coaching staff and org staff still seems really small. They could surprise people depending on the meta.

15. Boston Uprising

Huk, Could be worst team in the league. Three main tanks. Poorly coached and managed. Extremely talented players.

14.Shanghai Dragons

I don’t want to rank them this low but I’m floating 3-4 teams around this spot. They haven’t won a game in OWL yet. Hopefully they have a nice schedule of lower level teams and they can produce some quality wins. Org seems ready to commit this season so I expect huge problems will be scorched away quickly.

13. Seoul Dynasty

Fissure is cool I guess. They have a balanced roster, experienced team, and a schedule system that will highly benefit them. Older players mite not listen to new in game leadership this far into there careers. I’m not very confident in there synergy and I wanted to rank them a few spots back. They do have piles and piles of talent tho.

12. San Francisco Shock

If we remove all the DPS players from the roster and look closely will see some problems. Mid tier off tanks and mid tier main tanks. New season same problem. One of there main tanks need to play at a higher level. Off tank can exist well enough if there main tank plays well enough. Support trio could be strong depending on the meta.

11. Houston Outlaws

I have my personal disagreements with how they play. I’m a fan of them and they upset me from time to time. In a goats meta having someone like Spree who can slide into that 2nd DPS spot and play Zarya is amazing. They won’t use Spree like that. Houston is going to fuddle thru the season and end up worse than 11th. Could easily reach top 8 if they make good decisions before matches even start. They prepare pretty poorly and depend to heavily on classic 2/2/2 roster lineups to play the game. Polar opposite of what the Eastern OW scene has been doing lately.

10. Atlanta Reign

May have similar issues with Houston. Roster has built in solutions to potential problems but the team mite not use them. I’m very big on the roster even without Dafran. Front line has synergy. Backup Academy front line also has great synergy. Supports are questionable but Academy support duo is extremely experienced and reliable. DPS is very solid for a trio. Has 1 map sub potential which can be very powerful in OWL. Team is built to work no matter what. Mite not be lead in right direction to succeed.

9. Los Angeles Valiant

There mistakes finally show up in there results. Remember when “development” was a big part of there OW decision making??? Suddenly you have an APEX coach and his players are at the top of the roster. This team goes as far as Kariv can take them while covering every hole on the roster. Honestly if this team finishes top 4 with Kariv starting at DPS he’ll deserve OWL MVP. \

8. Dallas Fuel

I’m very high on them and very low on them at the same time. Added players, added coaching staff, re commitment to the team on a whole. Schedule change will be huge for them. New season same problem. What happens when a projectile meta happens??? They’ll be able to play it but main players who aren’t as good as the bench players will have to play or bench players will have to step into major roles. Could cause problems with how well they’ll play this season. Dallas and Seoul need to remember how to win to be successful again.

7. Vancouver Titans

They will have problems. May it be there org or just how there playing. They will struggle. But this team has too much experience and inner support to just fall apart. Where the org or players fail the fans and team will pick up. They won’t get this far and go down without a fight. The talent difference will start to show throughout the season but they will overcome it as a team.

6. Los Angeles Gladiators

I got a little down on them but than I remembered how well they play. The support trio will play well no matter what. Surefour will show up. Decay and R0ar will show up. Void should be better this season if they don’t want to play Bischu. Will win games like they’ve been here before.

5. Philadelphia Fusion

I got a little down on them. I love what Elk will bring to the team but he’s just a Lucio. Poko is the only off tank. When will Eqo run out of talent? Will they even play Fragi during goats meta? But they are a force of nature. Carpe won’t give up. Much like the Gladiators they’ve been here before and it will show.

4. Hangzhou Spark

I am extremely high on this team. And also a huge X6 Gaming fan. Krystal and Godsb (a widow god). Ria and Nosmite AND Guxue if they want to mix up the main tank role. I love this roster and its potential. Mite step into the league like NYXL.

3. Paris Eternal

Maybe I forgot to rank them a few spots ago and just put them here (maybe). I was very high on France in the OWWC and was a little disappointed. The roster and staff is fucking stacked to the roof. From Kruise on Support leading the team, Main tanks Benbest and Lhcloudy, and to the stacked DPS lineup of Soon and Shadowburn. If OWL ever goes into a Dive meta they will near the top.

2. New York Excelsior

Hmmm.

Hmm.

Could be #1. They have the roster to go 28-0. But its 28 games will bigger breaks between games this season. I like to think that benefits the next team the most.

1. London Spitfire

Back to back champions? Barely any change to the roster and that’s ok. The biggest offseason addition was the change to the regular season format. Strong new teams should challenge London but I knew a few will bow before the world champions. Look out for a repeat.

Conclusion

I wrote this far too fast and without enough research (LOL I guess). I’ve watched a lot of Hangzhou Spark players already on X6 Gaming. We already know how good some of these teams already are. This is mostly speculation. And meta shifts could turn this list upside down at any moment.

The degenerate’s guide to college football TV watch ‘em ups, 2019 season, week 1, part 3

Time to kick back and stop writing so much. I’ve earned it. I’m not going through all of my gambling advice to see if I did really awesome. Pretty sure Georgia Tech beat the spread against Clemson. Direct hit! So I am your guru.

Gambles with me and find the worst college football a viewer can find, I says. That’s the best way to live on a Saturday in the fall. Well, close enough.

What is there to say about this slate of games that hasn’t already been said? The schedules are per FBSchedules. The gambling infos are per Vegas Insider. If you lose money that’s on you. If you win money I’ve earned a commission. I’m just going ahead and taking this all the way through Monday because I’m already bored of this season.

Saturday, August 31

Matchup Time (ET) TV/Mobile

South Alabama at 24 Nebraska 12:00pm ESPN

Nebraska is ranked. USA is probably not the team to expose them but that’s a mistake. Scott Frost is going to have to rely on an even lower tier of Florida talent to win in a tougher conference. He’s got believers for now.

Indiana vs. Ball State (in Indianapolis, IN) 12:00pm CBSSN

Indiana is a 17 point favorite. Is that a typo?

Toledo at Kentucky 12:00pm SECN

There are way too many footballs for me to deal with right now. I’m just gonna start listing off winners and throwing out numbers that have nothing to do with betting lines. Kentucky by 4!

University of Mississippi at Memphis 12:00pm ABC

Memphis by 18!

Northern Iowa at 21 Iowa State 12:00pm FS1

I was wrong about David Montgomery! Sort of. I said he wouldn’t go as the first running back and wouldn’t go in the first round. Direct hits!

Indiana State at Kansas 12:00pm FSN

Oh, shit, here we go! I actually stopped to look this one up because of course I’m interested in Les Miles at Kansas. His presence has probably changed this from a pick ‘em to a -4.5 for Kansas. Plus: Kansas is favored! Minus: Indiana State has one good athlete in school history and he played basketball for them 40 years ago. And Kansas is only favored by 4.5.

Mississippi State vs. Louisiana (in New Orleans, LA) 12:00pm ESPNU

Never going to learn which directional LA school goes by Louisiana. Miss State by 1!

Howard at Maryland 12:00pm BTN

Talent usually wins out. Howard by 14.

Florida Atlantic at 5 Ohio State 12:00pm FOX

FAU by 35.

East Carolina at NC State 12:00pm ACCN

NC State by something.

Boise State at Florida State 12:00pm ESPNews

LOL - this was such a good game when it was scheduled. Who would have guessed that neither team would be ranked and it would air as an ACCNe alternate? Boise by 20.

Akron at Illinois 12:00pm BTN

Poor poor Illinois.

James Madison at West Virginia 2:00pm ATTSN

Not sure I’m ready for the next chapter of WFV football, tbch.

Rhode Island at Ohio 2:00pm ESPN+

Is ESPN+ considered a higher tier or lower tier than ESPNNews?

Bucknell at Temple 3:00pm ESPN3

Finally, the Manny Diaz Era kicks off for Temple football.

Eastern Washington at 13 Washington 3:00pm Pac-12N

Jacob Eason is going to get drafted over Jake Fromm. UDub by 58.

Eastern Michigan at Coastal Carolina 3:30pm ESPN+

CCU by 32. Book it.

Georgia State at Tennessee 3:30pm ESPNU

Tennessee still sucks. At least we all have that.

Holy Cross at Navy 3:30pm CBSSN

Navy has been destroyed by injuries the last couple of seasons but maybe they can get some good luck this year and get back to winning 10 and beating Notre Dame? Middies by 600 rushing yards.

ETSU at Appalachian State 3:30pm ESPN+

Appy State by 32.

South Carolina vs. North Carolina (in Charlotte, NC) 3:30pm ESPN

Mack Brown is back in Chapel Hill but there isn’t a lot of talent there. There’s a decent amount of talent at USCe but Coach Boom is still there. Sakerlina by 12.

Duke vs. 2 Alabama (in Atlanta, GA) 3:30pm ABC

Bammers by 64, Tua back in the good graces of Heisman voters.

Colgate at Air Force 3:30pm ESPN3

Toothpaste by 8.

Idaho at 15 Penn State 3:30pm BTN

Idaho self-relegated and rewarded themselves with a trip to Stepford. Penn State is going to win by 80.

Portland State at Arkansas 4:00pm SECN

Virginia Tech at Boston College 4:00pm ACCN

This might be two good teams. I’m not sure.

Northwestern at 25 Stanford 4:00pm FOX

I don’t think I can do any more of this. Let me check back in the morning to see if I want to update the rest of these.

IN THE MEANTIME ENJOY OUR HOLD MUSIC

youtube

CONTINUED!!!!!!

Montana State at Texas Tech 4:00pm FSN

Lubbock is less handsome this year but they could be better for it. Montana State by 3.

Campbell at Troy 6:00pm ESPN+

This is a huge rivalry between former frat brothers. Troy by 27.

Incarnate Word at UTSA 6:00pm ESPN3

Isn’t Incarnate Word working towards D-1A or some nonsense? The FKA Cokers are still ESPN3 material, which means they’re better than FSU and Boise State. UTSA by 33.

Sam Houston State at New Mexico 6:00pm MWN

New Mexico is only a 9 point favorite. That seems bad. Sam Houston State Houston Sams with the big upset here. 5 point win, 8-3.

22 Syracuse at Liberty 6:00pm ESPN+

I have no doubt in my mind that Bernie guy actually was a child molester but ESPN’s story was based on a guy saying they had sex when he was like 21 years old. I never understood that. Anyway, you absolutely hate to see Syracuse ranked in any sport. It’s an affront against god and man. Liberty is also an affront against god and man. But at least the Falwell’s pay their young male escorts exceptionally well. Liberty by 12.

UC Davis at California 6:30pm Pac-12N

Berkley vs. Davis. At least one of these starting QBs will be a mid-round prospect next year that some NFL fan base is forced to pretend they’re excited about.

VMI at Marshall 6:30pm Stadium

Marshall by 47.

Monmouth at Western Michigan 7:00pm ESPN3

Monmouth in a blowout, 14-13.

Stephen F. Austin at Baylor 7:00pm ESPN+

As much as I want the Six Million Dollar Men to beat the only athletic program as hateful as Sparty or Penn State, I don’t think they have the bionic powers to do it. Six million dollars isn’t really very much for a football player in Texas.

SMU at Arkansas State 7:00pm ESPN+

Oh, yeah, Arkansas State is the one that’s FBS-level, not Central Arkansas. Oh, well, nothing we can do about that now. Fade SMU and take the over. Whatever that may mean.

Norfolk State at Old Dominion 7:00pm ESPN3

Soon to be the state’s premier football rivalry, no doubt. The ODU #45s are the obvious favorite here. I bet they win by 22 points. So gamble accordingly.

Nicholls at Kansas State 7:00pm ESPN+

The excitement is palpable! Can Les Miles lead his gang of criminals to victory over the world’s premier screenwriting fellowship? YOU COULDN’T WRITE A BETTER UNDERDOG STORY THAN THAT!

Illinois State at NIU 7:00pm ESPN+

Fuck this game. NIU by 3 or so, I guess.

Alcorn State at Southern Miss 7:00pm ESPN+

25 years ago Air McNair II was leading Alcorn State and he should have won a Heisman and I have no other thoughts on this.

Abilene Christian at North Texas 7:30pm ESPN+

Go Spencer’s school! Beat the fucking Christians! I hate Christians!

16 Auburn vs. 11 Oregon (in Arlington, TX) 7:30pm ABC

Oh, this is why they were showing the “for all the Tostitos” game yesterday. Well, my gut tells me the War Eagle Tigers are a better team than the Ducks but that’s just SEC bias, to be honest. Patrick Nix’s kid starts as a true freshman which, if history serves, means he’ll ball out tonight, get progressively worse through the season, get benched at some point, then get humiliated when he comes back as the starter in a rivalry game (the rivalry game in all of college football tbch) and then he’ll show up somewhere else next year with immediate eligibility because he’s not moving for some frivolous reason like his mom is dying and his family’s going bankrupt.

3 Georgia at Vanderbilt 7:30pm ESPN

Vandy got the homefield for this one. Weird opener UGA. But a “tough” conference win in the early going is worth some #1 votes. Georgia by 84.

Georgia Southern at 6 LSU 7:30pm SECN

LSU has the best player in college football this year. Expect him to be injured either this week or next.

Miami (Ohio) at 20 Iowa 7:30pm FS1

Iowa has some shiny NFL prospect on their roster but I forget who it is. Is this where the ePenis plays? Whatever, this game is for the kids. Every Iowa home game is for the kids. Hawkeyes by 23.

Middle Tennessee at 7 Michigan 7:30pm BTN

I have an inexplicable fondness for Jim Harbaugh but I can’t deny the joy I would get from seeing the Wolverines crash and burn in week 1. That’s always fun for everybody.

Missouri at Wyoming 7:30pm CBSSN

Mizzourah by 46.

Virginia at Pitt 7:30pm ACCN

I could have sworn UVA was ranked. Guess not. Pitt is the pits (!!!) so the Hoos should dominate. Virginia by 6.

Louisiana Tech at 10 Texas 8:00pm LHN

Horns at #10 seems dangerous. That’s a bad idea, isn’t it? I’ve got Texas unranked until proven otherwise. And UT losing week 1 would be even funnier than Michigan doing it.

Grambling State at ULM 8:00pm ESPN3

So Monroe isn’t the one that goes by “Louisiana” now.

Houston Baptist at UTEP 8:00pm ESPN+

Oh, come on. This game does not need to exist. UTEP -17.5 is probably fine.

UAPB at TCU 8:00pm FSN

TCU is unranked so they’ll go undefeated this year. Arkansas-Pine Box is going to get buried by 50+.

Weber State at San Diego State 9:00pm Facebook

Oh, yeah, here comes the fun stuff. The dumb stuff. Let’s hear it for the Mountain West! What SDSU rusher will capture my heart this season?

Southern Utah at UNLV 10:00pm MWN

Last home opener at Sam Boyd Stadium, a place hated by all who ever visited it. I am not in that number yet but when it cools down I might feel compelled.

New Mexico State at 23 Washington State 10:00pm Pac-12N

The very heart of Pac after darkness. Mike Leach has a new QB. Now what? Wazzou will still score but they will probably go back to stopping nobody. A year further removed from Alex Grinch is not going to help.

Fresno State at USC 10:30pm ESPN

USC had a real solid opportunity to fire Clay Helton but didn’t because it would have been too expensive. Think about how stupid that is. Go (CS)FSU.

Sunday, September 1

Matchup Time (ET) TV/Mobile

Houston at 4 Oklahoma 7:30pm ABC

Holgo to Houston feels like a circle is being completed somehow. Will the ghost of Jack Pardee smile down on the Cougs? D’Eriq King could go a long way towards becoming a national name with any sort of highlights in this one and, remember, Oklahoma’s defense has been remarkably bad the last several seasons. The o/u for this game is 83! Houston plus the points, baby, do it!

Monday, September 2

Matchup Time (ET) TV/Mobile

9 Notre Dame at Louisville 8:00pm ESPN

Brian Kelly really got a kid killed and the university paid his way out of it and he’s still coaching there and they’ll probably win 10+ games again this year. What a terrible world we live in.

Why does it cost so much to add a spouse to your insurance?

"Why does it cost so much to add a spouse to your insurance?

Its time for my boyfriend to renew his insurance at work, so i was looking threw the booklet they sent him, and i cant believe it cost so much to add a spouse to your plan.. i thought if anything maybe it would double, but in most cases it triples! like one option is $17 per pay period for just him, but if you add a spouse it goes up to $62 and one is $25 for just him, and $92 if he adds a spouse, why is it so much? it would be cheaper if the spouse got there own plan, so whats the point? i would think there would be a discount of some sort for more than one person but its actually the opposite? why is this?

I want a car but my parents wont pay for insurance?

I asked this question before, but people were being extremely rude so I deleted it. If I get a car, I will be paying for everything myself. The car, the gas, the maintenance, etc. The only thing that I will not be able to afford is the insurance. I don't really care about having my own car, but I can't drive my parents' cars: my mom's is for her work, and my dad's is really expensive and he doesn't want me driving it. Either way, just to drive someone else's car I have to have insurance to cover myself and any damages I could cause in case of anything. So, anyways, the only thing I need my parents to pay for is the insurance. They absoulutley refuse. They think that I don't need to drive. I don't want to depend on my friends to drive me everywhere. They can definitely afford insurance, they just don't want to pay for it. I might sound spoiled or whatever but I'm not. Ever since I could remember, I've had to pay for most of everything I own. All of my clothes, toys (when I played with them), iPods, the computer that I'm on right now. I'm paying for my text messaging, too. so, I understand the value of money. I just want them to pay for this one thing. so, my plan was to buy a car, and then threaten to drive uninsured until they get insurance. Kind of mean, I know, but I'md esperate. What do you think?""

What is the difference between being forced to buy auto insurance and being forced to buy health insurance?

From my understanding: People have to buy health insurance so that if people get sick/injured, other people won't have to pay for them. Medical bills are very expensive so that's why people have it. And if a patient doesn't pay their medical bills due to not being able to afford it they will be treated anyway because of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. The health insurance companies will compensate for this by raising insurances rates of the insured. Having car insurance is so that if a driver causes an accident that driver's insurance can pay for the victim's damages. But if an uninsured driver hits an insured driver, the auto insurance company is allowed to raise the insured driver's rates. The reason for this is because the insurance company has to pay for their insured driver's car because there is no on else to pay up, and sometimes even they raise rates because they believe the insured driver is purposely putting themselves in situations to cause accidents. And it is a fact that unless a person lives in a major US city such as New York City, driving a car is a necessity. You need a car to be able to function in a non-metro environment without a car. The only time a person should have their driving privilege taken away unless they hurt someone. So the point is if another person doesn't pay into either health or auto insurance. The people who do pay lose. Because their rates increase. I don't see any significant punishment for people who do without either insurance. Because I know illegal immigrants pull stunts like these all the time. So I just don't see how their different.""

How much would insuracne cost on a 2010 Chevy Camareo for a 17 year old?

What are some nice cars that arnt sports cars? Insurance costs alot for a 17 year old with a sports car

My car was wrecked and the insurance company paid to have it fixed. Now they have found something they missed?

After paying out around 12,000 to fix my car (body damage only, but new car so everything came from factory) we found out there is something else that needs to be fixed and because the car is so new and they don't make parts for it, whole transmission needs to be replaced, even though nothing it actually wrong with it. Now insurance wants to total my car. I have gap coverage and want to know my options if i would like to keep my car and have transmission fixed myself. At first insurance told me they would pay off car, I keep it and get settlement money, then they told me no settlement money, but I would get to keep car with salvage title and it would be paid off, now they are saying they r trying to make sure I can keep it at minimal cost to me . The lien holder says if the insurance pays it off, they (lien holder) will not allow me to keep the car. If the insurance pays for it, isn't it their option to allow me to keep the car or not? What are my options?""

Do home/auto insurance companies play favorites with their customers when they pay out claims? ?

This is probably going to come off as a little dumb, but I can't think of another way to phrase it. I'm 25 y/o, a new homeowner, and I already have filed a homeowners claim for water damage. I have had the easiest time in the world with my insurance company paying for repairs, and it actually really suprised me how easy it was. After I filed the claim, I looked around online, and I saw where people were having nightmare problems with their insurance company for the same type of damage I'm claiming. My parents have been with this insurance company for 25+ years. The policy is mine alone, but I have the same agent that they have. I've also been on my parents' car insurance since I turned 16. My parents and I have all been pretty-much accident/claim free, and they always pay their bills on time. Here's my question. When this insurance company was analyzing my claim, did they take into account my parents' longterm business, or are they considering me independent from my parents? I'm asking, because I've heard of companies that drop their clients after one water-damage claim, and I'm a little worried they'll drop me""

Should I get Term Life Insurance at a young age?

I am currently 30 years old and in excellent health but since I am getting ready to start a family, I want to be prepared for the future of my loved ones. After reading about different life insurance options, I am deciding to go with Term Life Insurance for 20 years. Is it true that Term Life Insurance premiums don't change throughout the life of the term? If so, shouldn't I sign-up now while my annual payment will be low and locked in at this rate?

How does Progressive compare your insurance rates with top companies?

How is that possible? I've applied for Progressive quotes before (and wasn't impressed at all), but how are they able to do that? Insurance companies all have complex formulas that are used to calculate rates using several factors, including driving history, location, credit, household drivers, vehicles, etc. Unless they have robots online that steal competitors' bandwidth and automatically fill out the forms, it doesn't seem possible. If that was the case, you would think other companies would block Progressive from abusing their servers. Any ideas?""
