I can only assume that they all must be raking if Trout is the one you'd consider dropping...", "score": 7 }, { "body": "This is the finals and it is all hands on deck, I'm dropping pitchers like Josh johnson and kuroda, and estrada, and kershaw, and cueto and bumgarner... I dropped upton for Maxwell and feel fine, doesn't matter in redraft leagues one week left, pick up the guy facing the easiest pitchers, pick up the fast guy playing against slow pitcher catcher combos, pick up the guy playing in wrigley field instead of oaklands blackhole. All players are droppable, and just swing for the fences.\nMy two cents..", "score": 7 }, { "body": "Dropping Trout would no doubt be a BOLD move. Bold moves win **and** lose championships. Whether it pays off or not is at the moment just a guess, as informed or uninformed as it may be. Baseball can be a funny game. \n\nOn the surface, it seems crazy to drop Trout. However, I wouldn't call it 100% insane. Since August 24 until the present, Trout has appeared in 25 games and racked up 113 plate appearances. This is 1/5 of his season, so it's a relatively sizable number. In that span of recent, he has putting up an entirely unimpressive batting line of .238 AVG / .319 OBP / .347 SLG / .665 OPS. \n\nHis homers are way down and he's not even running as much. In that span he put up 19 R, 3 HR, 5 RBI, 5 SB. The runs are still great, the steals are a plus, but the HR and RBI are very lackluster. \n\nDoes this mean he will continue to perform at this level for the rest of the season? Of course not. But it's possible... In my opinion, Trout was playing way over his actual performance level and he's not (right now, at least) a guy I'm expecting to post a 1.000 OPS or challenge 40 homers. That being said, I don't think his true talent level is as low as a .665 OPS. \n\nCould Nate McLouth outproduce Trout over the next ten days? It's definitely possible considering McLouth put up the following line from August 24 until the present: .306 AVG / .384 OBP / .459 SLG / .843 OPS. When you look at McLouth's counting stats (19 R, 3 HR, 9 RBI, 4 SB), McLouth has been better than Trout over the past ~month in AVG/OBP/SLG/OPS and RBI, tied in R and HR, and one behind in steals. \n\nTime will tell if McLouth puts up better numbers than Trout over 10 days, but I wouldn't totally write it off. Trout is crazy talented but he's young. Pitchers may be starting to find some holes in his swing and it could take him some time to adjust to it. \n\nTrout may be tiring from his first real grueling MLB season. Trout has already had 130 more plate appearances this year than any other season in his career. Is it a coincidence that his performance fell off 113 plate appearances ago? Maybe totally. Maybe not. Trout could just be in a funk. Trout could also hit .450 with 4 HR and 4 SB in the next week, too. You never know. \n\nAdding McLouth for Trout would be a big gamble, but it could just be a winning one. Right or wrong move, if fully thought out and not done hastily, it could be the kind of ballsy move necessary to win a championship. It could also be the sword that kills you. I like the thinking outside the box and don't think it's nearly as ridiculous as most here do.", "score": 5 }, { "body": "No. Because Mike Trout could easily bounce back and have a 5-5/HR/3 SB night. \n\nChasing hot streaks is not a bad strategy but don't compromise your studs.", "score": 3 } ]

I have ran RDP on an obscure port for over 5 years now without being hammered, but this isn't a final solution.\n\n2) If this were a Linux server I would setup Fail2Ban, which makes it so if there are enough failed attempts from an installed service (say terminal server) it would temp ban an IP. I'm sure there's a tool for Windows that can do this, and this kind of response would be very useful, and a long-term solution too.\n\n3) If you're running any proper routing software, such as a Linux routing distribution, pf/pfSense, DDWRT/Tomato, or any other high-class routing tool, you should be able to get the source IP. Then set a routing rule (or rule for a group) to just drop all traffic from that IP. Dropping traffic is better than blocking because it is more likely to convince the other end that you just don't exist any more.\n\n4) To better troubleshoot these kinds of situations, even lower-scale ones, you should really look at setting up better tools for monitoring bandwidth. If your existing gateway (router) does not have real-time bandwidth monitoring tools, or state monitoring tools, you should seriously consider implementing a better solution. For example, my home I use SmoothWall, and that is very useful for me because I can see bandwidth per IP on my network, which makes it dead simple to troubleshoot which host is doing too much stuff. Real-time monitoring of bandwidth and states is the most useful way to do it.", "score": 4 } ]

Nicotine withdrawal is so mild, it basically is akin to feeling a little hungry- you just have a vague sense of wanting something. Its the habit that will get you. But you can still have coffee in the crisp morning air, just without a cigarette. Get an e-cig if you think it will help.\n\nI'd recommend reading \"The Easy Way to Quit Smoking\" by Allan Carr. In a nutshell, it doesn't focus on why you should quit: expensive, unhealthy, ugly habit, etc. It focuses on why you smoke in the first place. People say it relaxes them, they like the taste, its a social habit, etc. But the book breaks down why that's all bullshit, and its just a nicotine addiction. And it describes how chained to the addiction you are- a slave. Think about it: Do you plan parts of your day around smoking? I used to get off the bus a stop early to fit in an extra cigarette before work. If I was driving, I would take the long way to have an extra smoke. If I got to where I was going but hadn't finished my cigarette, I'd have to just wait around outside until I was done. I hated going to a social event where I wouldn't be able to smoke. No matter what the weather- rainy, snowy, hot and humid, freezing cold- I'd have to be outside, miserable but smoking. Just think of what a slave to the habit you are, and how good it will feel to be free! I'd really recommend the book, because it goes into detail about a lot of points and about what exactly nicotine addiction is, but that's the gist. You aren't \"giving up\" smoking, you're freeing yourself from a lifetime of slavery to an addiction.\n\nAlso, don't feel too bad if you slip once in a while. An occassional cigarette won't harm your baby, and taking that negative attitude of beating yourself up over breaking down and having a few drags will just hinder your progress. If you do slip, just forgive yourself and move on. In fact, I still keep a pack of cigarettes in my freezer in case I do ever want to slip up.

I'm a 28 yr old IT Support & Projects Manager at a billion $ company in Australia - and I'm completely non-tech. I've only been in IT for about 3 years, never studied any degree at all. Hope I can give some advice based on what worked for me.\n\nGetting in to PM work, if you've got a basic level of tech (higher than me - for example I know what AD is, and what it does, but I've never seen or touched it, just picked it up from conversation) - the first step is grab a couple of industry certificates. The Project Management Institute CAPM is a good one. I'd also recommend ITIL v3 Foundations. Regardless of your opinion on the usefulness of certs, with no experience they show potential employers that you have the capability to look at business outcomes that IT can enable, rather than \"tech for tech's sake\". \n\nAfter that, research your ass off. Get onto LinkedIn and join some PM groups. Have a look at gantthead.com and other sites, join the community, learn the lingo. If you can track down someone that you respect that has PM experience, talk to them as well - see if they'll mentor you maybe. Buy good books and read them - folks, if you're not reading or learning, your career is not going as well as it could be, trust me. Download podcasts on PM (there's a heap in iTunes) and get up to date on trends and current issues.\n\nDo all of this until you're confident with it - you don't need experience implementing, but you do need to understand outcomes-based PM and how it delivers to the business. If you can, draft up some projects/business plans that you think will help your current workplace, and propose them to the highest level manager you can - just remember to ALWAYS tailor your proposal to your audience. \n\nAbove all, while you're learning this stuff, make sure PM is something you WANT to do. There's a lot of work in moving from Tech to Mgmt roles and it can be very tough, but I'd you love it you'll do well.\n\nIf it help makes you feel better - 1 day into my first \"IT\" job as a Service Delivery Manager a couple of years ago, I had to ask one of the sysadmins to explain to me exactly what a server was, what it did, and why I was trying to convince my client to buy one. If I can get to where I am now from there, so can you. \n\nFinal and most important piece of advice - getting into PM, you'll be working with stakeholders who don't understand (or give a shit about) technology. And that is perfectly okay. For the vast majority of businesses today, IT is a \"necessary evil\" to let them do what they need to. A smart handful are using it as a strategic advantage. But in the end, if what we do isn't delivering business outcomes, then it is pointless.

She was absolutely gorgeous, and I don't mean the type of beautiful that you look at and think: \"Damn, she's smoking.\" I'm talking the type of unparalleled beauty that you'd imagine to challenge Aphrodite, or some goddess that could only exist in your dreams. On top of this she was insanely intelligent, and cultured to boot. Her biggest hobbies involved practicing artwork, writing, reading, and cooking. She could make me laugh by making silly faces and spark a warmth in me that no-one else could; even if it just required something simple like playing Pokemon Red and Blue on the couch together. \n\nShe was literally perfection to me.\n\nWe dated for about two years until we hit that rough patch all relationships go through. You know the one. The fires start to die down, everything gets sort of mellowed out. I remember feeling like I was going insane when she came to me one day and told me, very hesitantly, that she thought she had feelings for another guy.\n\nAnd that was when I made my first mistake. \n\nI told her that no matter what happened I'd always stick by her. That despite this little bump in the road, I'd just take it in my stride. I genuinely thought it'd just be something to fade into the past and would never be brought up again. \nA few days later she ended up going to the movies with him. Now before you critique what I'm going to say next, you need to understand something about myself. Ever since I was very young I had a massive self-confidence issue. This was the first girl I had ever fallen for like this, and she was carved from what I believed to be *literal perfection*. I abandoned my self-respect with this girl in the hopes that it'd make her see how much I loved her. I'm not judging those who have polyamorous feelings, either, I can empathize with them. I am however going to illustrate what happened next with the utmost care.\n\nI was cheated on a total of seven times in this relationship, without my knowing. I had the faintest feeling that there might be something else going on, but I was too scared to look into it. Instead I allowed myself to become ensnared in this awful web of self-pity and blissful ignorance. I truly believed that as long as I had this girl I'd be okay. No matter what.\n\nWhen I finally discovered that she had slept with a guy, on the night of my birthday when she left the party early to \"head home\", that was the night I simply left her. \n\nThere were times in that relationship where I would have spent my life's savings on that girl just to prove I cared about her. There were times where I would have leapt off buildings, attacked someone, or have done anything for her. I transcended, or rather descended, from love into obsession. And that was the scary part. I didn't even know what was wrong with me at the time, I just knew that something had changed inside myself.\n\nReddit if there's one thing I've learned from this it's that you can't hold on for too long when something's about to die. You have to love yourself in order to be loved and love others. Self-pity and ignorance are not traits that will ever help you grow strong. Ever since that train-wreck of a relationship I had to grow up a lot. I was very innocent at the time and my life became a living hell afterwards. It did get better. But I needed to have the strength to let things go, and this was the relationship that gave me that. I was emotionally dependent on her, and that was the most horrible thing I've experienced in my life.\n\nWhen it comes time to see the girl go, let her walk away. You don't want to damage yourself and those around you when you know it's time to move on. If you think there's a genuine chance for you two to be together, go for it! But know when it's time to let it die. \n\nThere is no point in holding onto something when she or he wants to end it.\n\nEDIT: I accidentally a lot of words and grammar.\n", "score": 4 }, { "body": "Most of my ex girlfriends were cunts.

We wouldn't *all* agree with them eschatologically, and since I am a baptist, I wouldn't agree with them on everything regarding baptism.
