A Player A Day Keeps The Doctor Away - Sammy Watkins [Day 129]

Hey Reddit!

It's Day 129 of this offseason series where we discuss a different player's fantasy value each day as a group. We are 78 days away from the NFL season opener now!

Each day we'll drop a name, include some thoughts on that player, and you can respond with your thoughts in the comments.

Today's Discussion: Sammy Watkins (WR, Baltimore Ravens)

The Good With Sammy Watkins

  • Elite Talent: In 2014 Watkins was drafted by the Bills at Position 4 over other WR like Mike Evans, OBJ, Brandin Cooks, Davante Adams(!), Allen Robinson and Jarvis Landry (Crazy good WR draftclass!). But missing 26 Games in his 7 Seasons in the leauge he could not prove the elite level he showed in college so far but putting together at least decent seasons, with the highlights beeing WR 16 in std and 20 in PPR in 2015. If Watkins can put together a healthy season he has the talent to be as domination as his elite drafclassmates.
  • Familiar Faces: Leaving the Chiefs, Watkins will reunite with Greg Roman in Baltimore. Under his playcalling he had his best season in 2015 with the Bills. Racking up his only over 1000 yards season in the NFL so far. Also his personal receiving coach Keith Williams, works as a pass specialist coach in Charm City. They know the strenghts of Watkins and might utilise him heavily and make his start on the new team easier. Can this help him to even grab the WR1 spot? In my eyes that is not impossible but it should at least grant Watkins a save floor/targets especial early season.
  • Home run Hitter: With Marquise Brown and Mark Andrews on the Team Watkins will likely not face much double coverage and with his Speed(4.43 40yard dash at combine) and single play homerun ability (similar playertype as Brown) Watkins adds some touchdown upside, despite rather small for a WR with 185cm/6Β΄1. Reaching the endzone with a single long play can save your fantasyteam. Watkins is a player that can go boom with low volume and i like that upside.

Am I out of my mind considering expanding in a pandemic...again?

Hi all.

I own a small sewing studio where my cash crop is teaching kiddos to sew. Seems outdated to some, but I live in a highly populated area with plenty of discretionary income and everyone likes to have their kids doing a million things after school. Also, I've worked hard to make our space cheerful and welcoming which the kids love, plus we make fun stuff, so we've found modest success in the <3 years we've been open. It's just my husband and I, teaching all the little 8 year old girls how to make pillows shaped like sloths and narwhals.

Pandemic closures forced us to reconsider what we offered when I couldn't teach any classes and I began offering retail fabric and tools to my niche customers. My words to my husband were "don't underestimate how much people who sew like to buy fabric" plus, everyone who could sew last year made masks. It's been going well, but it serves our classes the best having all the materials I need in house. There's no other small business like ours for 50 miles.

We also expanded our space last September from 300 to 650 sq ft in the building we were in, opening a wall to a vacant space, so we could resume pre-covid enrollment of students and we could actually continue to make money. We knew when social distancing fizzled out we could add more students. We've had our best year yet so far and expanding was an excellent gamble to take, because gratefully we had money in the bank and a loyal clientele. Plus, a covid grant from the local gov't helped take the sting out of the bulk of the expenses.

All this to say: our space isn't perfect. The retail shop is small, and the teaching studio could be slightly bigger to accommodate more students. I had a wait-list all winter for my kids classes. My parking lot is an absolute pain for the pick up/ drop off times. I joked a week ago that "I would like to go a year without talking about a major business pivot" and we agreed to stay where we are and make our space work "unless something perfect popped up" because our rent is reasonable and our landlord is chill.

But 2 days ago a 1200 sq ft space opened literally 100 yards down the street from us in an area that's tricky to find affordable spaces in the right size. It's $900 more a month than what we pay now.

Am I crazy for considering moving and growing the business so early in our existence? The last big change was forced upon us, this isn't. And it's such a nice big space right on our block. But my husband thinks if it ai

How to scout a place for a recording studio

Hi, I was wondering if any of you had tips on how to find, scout a good cheap place for a studio. Of course I'm not having any luck on local classifieds or whatever would be my country's Craigslist equivalent.

It seems like for all places I imagine would be great (unused cellars, basements) no one cares to put up an ad since it's so niche.

I've tried directly contacting various larger buildings and either they get completely uninterested when I say it's going to be for sound-related work (so I just started saying it's for an 'artistic lab') or just don't have any spaces like this. I also posted up paper ads around the city since I guess that it might be older folks that might know about a vacant property of this type. So far a month went by, didn't find a single place like this in my town. So how do you guys do it?

My parents were polite, conservative, Christian martyrs; I swiftly realized Jesus was not alright with me (sc. figs are scrumptious!) I attended a small, religious school where we leveled up in reindeer games; my interest evaporated with Challenger and Threads. Lucked out on that one: the reports of college were greatly exaggerated.

So my formative years were spent in contradiction, whereas adulthood has left me adept at untangling knots. But if you lean over right quick, I'll let ya' in on a secret:

While I can't guarantee I'll never try to solve your problems, you have permission to kick me in the tuckus at the first sign of meddling.

I'm trying to make my sliver of the world a slightly better place than I found it, learn and apply as much as I can via cooperation, and enjoy myself with simple pleasures. I find purpose in helping others do the same. It'd be swell to meet some copacetic folks to waltz along the path with. Regardless, nothing's gonna stop me now from living an awesome life! I enjoy...

  • cups of tea on the electric, breezy days between seasons,
  • hiking misty trails in the vacant hours before dawn,
  • nekkid swims through the scattered moonlight,
  • a steady diet of chill tunes fed through good cans,
  • the absurdity of modern stretching,
  • bizarre books and films stitched together with black comedy,
  • penning clumsy poems at the onset of thunderstorms,
  • the delight of resurrecting dead devices,
  • low-impact escapes into the untouched wilderness,
  • trusted recipes prepared with patience, a melody of flavor, and veggies from my garden,
  • the serendipity of thrift stores,
  • and baking sublime treats for friends or strangers who're down on their luck.

I'm engaging and winsome at smaller gatherings, but I'll always prefer libraries and museums to concert halls or stadiums.

Multiple trips through the ringer have taught me I'm pretty damn sturdy, despite a tendency to dive too deep. My bad luck has saved me from the worst luck! Only known allergens are church, Oprah, and reality TV.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.

Can someone with more Commercial RE experience explain why this may be a bad deal/why this has sat on the market for 3+ years?

I have passed by a commercial property for a few years now that seems to me (someone admittedly unfamiliar with the commercial side of things) like a good opportunity. That said, I'm confused as to why no one has purchased the property yet. I would be interested in doing so if it were a good deal and I could pull together the capital.

So first, some background on the location: the property is on the main street of a small-ish downtown. The city is just outside of a major city (20 minute drive) and is continuing to grow. The population is just over 20k, but there are unincorporated areas very close by where a large number of people live, as well as several other small cities that are near the major city. The city has been revitalizing the downtown and built an amphitheater that has become a major attraction for the locals. Businesses have been slowly but surely moving into the downtown area, and none have closed since opening in the last 5 years.

Background on the property: 1 acre with 4 buildings and private parking. Two of the buildings are occupied with long-term tenants. One building is a local restaurant that is usually packed and has been open for 4+ years. Another is occupied by a local jewelry store that has been there since before I moved here 8 years ago. Another building was a bank that moved locations a couple years ago, so this building is a little niche without renovations, admittedly. The fourth building has been vacant for at least the 8 years I've lived here. It is advertised as an office space and, looking inside as I walked by, would need major renovations.

The property is on the market for $1 million. But for 4 properties on the main stretch of downtown, 2 of which have long-term tenants already in place--this seems like a fine deal to me. Of course, I don't know the rents on the existing leases, and I understand that would be a key piece of information. However, surface-level, why is this a bad deal?

A take on an AP itemisation overhaul

With Riot planning to overhaul AP itemisation come preseason 12, and given that I've been toying around with AP items ideas ever since the preseason 11 launch, I was wondering : why not go ham with it and just try to go for the whole overhaul ? Welp, numbers are probably gonna be all over the place, but that's also what feedback is for in the end.

So, without further adue, let's get started already !

β€’ Epic items

So, quite frankly, I wouldn't change much about the current AP items. Most of them are doing the job just fine and do not require much change in my opinion.

The one big thing that I'd want to do however is decouple Lost Chapter from its mythic status so it can be used as a component in legendary items. The mana regeneration passive has to take a hit as a compensation, but Chapter not being tied to mythics gives a lot more freedom when conceptualising "mage-specific" item designs.

> Lost Chapter

Tome + Tome + Sapphire crystal + 80 ( 1300g )

40 AP
10 AH
300 MP

>Unique - Enlighten : Upon leveling up, restores 25% of missing mana over 3 seconds

Another thing that I wanted to toy with, was the idea of an epic item outside of Leeching Leer that'd bring back the "cheap AP + Health" niche that was left vacant with the departure of old Oblivion Orb and Haunting Guise. So making a return as a concept :

> Haunting Guise

Tome + Ruby Crystal + 665 ( 1500g )

35 AP
200 HP

>Unique - Agony : Deal up to 10% bonus damage to Slowed enemies depending on the slow's potency, maxing out at 50% slow*. Immobilised enemies take maximum damage.

^(* formula would just be slow potency*0.2)

β€’ Mana Mythics

Mana mythics are currently regarded as being some of the blandest mythics in the game right now, and not without reason. They do their job just fine once completed, but their buildpaths are extremely punishing, especially considering that their intended users do not have typically have the strongest of early games and have to compete against champions that do.

So, rather than trying to tweak the current mythics, I took a page out of the AD Assassin and Bruiser mythics, and took advantage of the epic items to smoothe out the buildpaths of entirely "new" mythics. Also taking a page out of the ADC mythics, I went for a utility / raw damage / defensive trinity of mythics rather than a "different shades of added damage" approach.

They all give more AP, to put them in line with the

Episode 6, "Reddit: The Unmoderated Rusical!" [POLL]

INT. WERKROOM

The queens clamor into the room following Aries' elimination. Nothiong but the noise of capezio's peeling from the insides of stilettos and heels falling to the floor fill the room as girls immediately rip off their shoes.

All the girls focus their eyes on Reeyo as they gather around to sit at the faux living room setup in the corner as silence overtakes the room.

"Well, I guess I'll spit it out, but bitch I'm gagged." Ace exclaims, breaking the tension with the heartiest laugh.

πŸŽ₯ Talking Head: Ace, "Bitch, who would have guessed Miss FKANoWins would send Aries and her useless challenge win packing? This shit is so funny. Miss FKAMyPersonalityIsTalkingLikeACareBear sent home one of the big bad HoP Mods. Dee, you better watch out bitch!"

The rest of the girls gradually chime in to participate in laughing at the entire ordeal with Ace while Reeyo just sits in quietly holding the remnants of her coral runway in her lap.

"honestly i dont think it should have been me lipsyncing for my life just now xx" Reeyo speaks out as the girls clutch their pearls like the melodramatic bootyhole warriors they are.

"Well girl who should have been in the bottom over you otherwise?" Julie chimes in, relishing an opportunity to stir the pot.

πŸŽ₯ Talking Head: u/xXJuliePowersXx,"As if I'm gonna pass up an opportunity to look drama in the face and TURN IT AND BURN IT bitchesssss. Let's make things hot!"

"every look i came out in on that runway was fashionable, cute, and high concept xx" Reeyo spoke out as the normally rose tinted sparkle in her eye sharpened into a 'grrrrr' worthy glare at Jr's direction.

"Well, if looks could kill yours is a 3 foot tall toddler aggressively knocking my thigh with a Sailor Moon wand girl. Get what you have to say off your chest, I can take it." Jr calmly smirks as she removes her nautilus headpiece, turns it over, and pulls out a flask.

"your swimsuit was basic. anyone can get your look at the nearest primark clearance aisle. your atlantean was a lot of color with zero style and at least my coral eleganza read as aquatic xx" Reeyo goes on.

A rattle of shade overtakes the room and the girls all sit in silence after Reeyo's words. Val shifts excitedly in her chair, wanting to blurt something out, but relishing the moment of togetherness with the cast as she began to vibrant with joy more and more. Ace Julie share intermittent glances, holding in a fit of laughter. Dee, unbothered by what has transpired, is already full

This happened a few years ago when my son was 6ish. When my kids hurt themselves and it doesn’t look serious I always do the β€œwe might have to amputate that bruised hand” shtick with them. I’ve done it enough that they now roll their eyes.

So, my son got hit lightly in the face with a rubber ball. It wasn’t a hard hit and I could tell he was more upset by the shock of it rather than the pain. So I say β€œlooks like we will have to amputate your nose.” To which he replies β€œthen how will I smell?” And I say β€œterrible!”

Proud dad moment.

Keep in mind, my son is 4 years old, so everything is an original to him.

I had to work late into the evening yesterday, and he was just going to bed when I got home. I had left home for the office nearly 14 hours prior, had a long day, lots of meetings, traffic, etc.

When I walked through the door, I was exhausted, run down, and starving. My wife hugged me and asked how my day was, and I replied, "Done. It was a good day, but has got me exhausted. I just want to grab a bite and go to bed. I'm hungry."

From my son's bedroom, I hear him shout, "Hi Hungry! Nice to meet you!"

Not only did it make me laugh, but I completely forgot about how hungry and tired I was. I went to his bedroom, and we laughed together about it. It was exactly what I needed.
