Few others that I could add, but everyone listens to their own things, and I respect that.

Really fun, low risk/effort competition. Let's keep it going! Going 12 weeks seems pretty good, these survivor pools tend to die quickly from my experience, but hard to tell since they have different rules. Excited for the 2nd half pool.

We should do some All Star related pools. Like for the HR derby, do a pool where you buy in 500 sats or something and choose a player. If they win, the the pot is split between all people that chose that player? Just a thought.

I think that's it for the entire competition actually.

That Red Sox run differential is not looking hot. They will need to win out.

Let's go Bo Sox!

Week 1: Phillies Week 2: Diamondbacks Week 3: Orioles Week 4: Braves Week 5: Blue Jays (Strike One) Week 6: Rangers (Strike Two) Week 7: Brewers Week 8: Guardians Week 9: Padres Week 10: Astros Week 11: Mariners Week 12: Dodgers Week 13: Red Sox Week 14: Yankees

Helpful. Thanks for the clarity! Hope they put up like 15 runs in one of these games to save us.

Absolutely brutal turn of events today with the Red Sox/Jays game getting postponed. 5 game week now, need 2 of 3 against the Padres to survive.

Am I reading this correctly, we are down to 4 players? All have two strikes with the exception of GrayRuby, with one?

May be tough to follow for users. Like standings and seeding, especially as races wind down will change or can change mid week. I'll give it more thought though.

I vote similar pool. Here are some ideas, that maybe can be used, probably not all at once as that would be ridiculous.

I may keep thinking. Either way I think we should continue to do something.

Week 1: Phillies Week 2: Diamondbacks Week 3: Orioles Week 4: Braves Week 5: Blue Jays (Strike One) Week 6: Rangers (Strike Two) Week 7: Brewers Week 8: Guardians Week 9: Padres Week 10: Astros Week 11: Mariners Week 12: Dodgers Week 13: Red Sox

Looking forward to the Blue Jays ruining my week again.

Gonna check it out more tomorrow but it seems pretty similar to https://home.plebai.com/

Is that an accurate take? I only briefly looked at the site so far.

That Bankless podcast with the ETH maxis! Seriously, watching SBF fail to put together any semblance of a cohesive thought or argument was scary to watch. At that point you can't forget he was advising an/or talking with Congress about legislation. Then less than a month later FTC imploded. I still think that debate had some serious impact, no one could have watched that and thought he was a serious person.

Need Mariners to take one of three this weekend vs the Rangers.

Week 1: Phillies Week 2: Diamondbacks Week 3: Orioles Week 4: Braves Week 5: Blue Jays (Strike One) Week 6: Rangers (Strike Two) Week 7: Brewers Week 8: Guardians Week 9: Padres Week 10: Astros Week 11: Mariners Week 12: Dodgers

Frank Black - Headache

Yeah for sure. I just zap the same amount every post/update sent out.

Need Astros to take 1 of 3 this weekend to stay in the running. This week's choice I think is the most difficult one I've had to make this far. Between teams with 7 game weeks or 6 game weeks which is preferable.

Week 1: Phillies Week 2: Diamondbacks Week 3: Orioles Week 4: Braves Week 5: Blue Jays (Strike One) Week 6: Rangers (Strike Two) Week 7: Brewers Week 8: Guardians Week 9: Padres Week 10: Astros Week 11: Mariners

For the average person, you wouldn't notice a huge difference. Especially now, where online banking has progressed and is the norm. Credit unions tend to have lower interest rate loans and lower fees, which is better for the account holders/members. The members are considered "owners" and the aim is to provide as much benefit to the account holders as possible, vs your BoA/Chase mega banks where profit above all else is the goal. Credit Unions have fewer physical branches and branded ATMs, but instead use a network approach to ATMs, even waiving/reimbursing ATM fees most of the time. For example, I typically use ATMs at any target or CVS location, so no less convenient. If you need in person services, then you likely have less options if you bank with a CU. Moving past the "Fiat bad" stigma, Credit Unions off the same deposit insurance guarantee up to $250k USD, only thought the Nation Credit Union Administration (NCUA) instead of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

In short, for the typical user these days accustomed to online banking and not in need of physical branches/in person services will have just as much safety holding Fiat at a Credit Union and receive better savings rates/APY, and lower interest rates on loans. Plus the added benefit of avoiding our defacto nationalized mega banks.

Edit: I should note that not all CUs are equal, so if it's a small community chartered CU, then you may have less financial products available. But most typical/reasonable sized CUs will fell just the same as banking with Chase or Wells Fargo, etc.

Source: been at a CU for a long time and also know people who work for a decent sized/top 5 CU in my state of residence.

I really don't know why more don't bank with Credit Unions.

Secretly hoping it's Crypto.com. Some poster on Reddit wrote about trading 1 BTC for CRO a month or so ago. Bragging his 20% APY 12 months lock up as a good trade. Fool.
