Pick 3 midday numbers

Jimmy Butler is once again the driving force for leading the Miami Heat to the NBA finals for the second time in 4 years.
Butler’s accolades are: 6-time All-Star, Eastern Conference Finals MVP(2023), 1 -time second team All-NBA, 4-time third team All NBA, 5x all defensive second team, Most Improved Player(2015), and NBA Steals Leader(2021).
Butler was never considered the best small forward at any point in his career due to playing the in the same era as Lebron, Paul George, and Kevin Durant BUT…
Butler has a track record of playing like a superstar in the postseason which has earned him the nickname of “Playoff Jimmy”. Butler in the regular season averaged 22.9ppg, 5.9reb, and 5.3 apg. In the postseason, Butler’s numbers increased by averaging 28.5ppg, 7.0rpg, and 5.7apg.
Is “Jimmy Buckets” a Hall of Famer???

I'm making a small indie game (for personal use, a learning project) with a core mechanic being item randomization heavily inspired by ALLTPR's Randomizer Logic. I've already completed development of the "Vanilla" game with all its item locations and I have an exhaustive list of item requirements for each location as well as item combination requirements and optional item requirement paths. Note that I'm trying to make this system "like" ALTTPR, as in, it's inspired by ALTTPR in almost every way from a mechanical standpoint. Consider it like an "Open Mode, Keysanity, 100% Inventory", with the Retro aspect of being able to Buy keys at shops. It's a learning exercise for me.
My game is smaller than LttP; I've only got 4 Dungeons, 91 locations, and 11 essential/progression items, with only two classes of items, "Essential" and "Junk". Since my game is heavily inspired by ALTTPR, I'm wondering if any Logic experts might quickly glance over my pseudo-code and see if it sounds about right, or if I'm missing something.
Currently, I'm struggling a bit with the Randomized item distribution of Progressive Items. In my current code, the Randomizer picks a random progression item (IE, the Mallet), a random location, and does the following:

1. Checks that the random location doesn't already have an item
2. Checks that the location doesn't require the Mallet
3. Checks that the location's item requirement (IE the Torch) isn't in a location that requires the Mallet
4. Checks that the Torch's location item requirement (IE Boots) isn't in a location that requires the Mallet
5. Repeat step 4 recursively to ensure that no items that are required in the logic chain up until the Mallet aren't in a location that requires the Mallet (This means going through all 11 items for each item, at each step of the way, which is like 11^11, or 285 BILLION conditional branches)
6. If none of those steps somehow flagged this location as unsuitable, then the item gets put in the location. Then repeat the process for the next item.
7. Once all 11 'Required' Items have been seeded, the Randomizer begins picking random 'junk' items and repeating the process, but skips over checking all the item requirements since Junk doesn't matter where it's located.

​
But that doesn't feel right to me, when it comes to step 5. There's no way that ALTTPR is running billions of lines of code recursively just to determine the locations of 27 essential items. I've looked through the whitepaper that outlines how the ALTTPR logic works for distribution- and it seems like it does what I'm doing above. Am I missing something here?

I'm a huge fan of Minecraft Dungeons but the game was lackluster in terms of content and I kind of want something new to play so I was gonna pick this game up but I wanted to know if I should play the 3rd game first to get a feel or wait for the 4th one.

Here's one that got their SGIsplainin' ass BANNED last week - from Why does SGI hate the Shoshu priesthood so much?, from THREE YEARS AGO - first, the OP they're replying to:

Over at the SGIUSA sub, they are discussing how members should just take what they want and leave what they don't about practicing Nichiren Buddhism under SGI.
Someone shared a Gosho quote basically saying that if someone has the same belief as you in NMRK, you should never fight with or even criticize that person.

https://archive.ph/BYmyg

The commenters take this to mean that SGI is accepting of its members being interfaith and practicing multiple religions.
But I've also read quotes by Nichiren that basically show he wanted to DESTROY all other sects of Buddhism!!! (These quotes have been linked many times, sorry not to link them again).
It seems that Nichiren was only protecting the followers of the Lotus Sutra and not other religions, though . So in our modern-day, we might say that Nichiren would have protected both the Shoshu priesthood and the SGI members.
But we all know how hard SGI has fought to keep the separation of the Shoshu and their own members. SGI is constantly belittling and criticizing the Shoshu. It seems pretty hypocritical, especially considering Nichiren wants protection of all Lotus Sutra practitioners, doesn't it? Source

So far so good? That post was from October 24, 2019 - over 3 1/2 years ago. Now here's from a mere FIVE DAYS AGO, from u/Mobile_Taro1969 (sounds like a BOOMER to me):

From what I have researched, SGI members grew the organization and were encouraged to make pilgrimages to Japan if possible.

No. Virtually ALL the money and members have always been IN JAPAN. All of the SGI properties are owned by the Soka Gakkai in Japan (via one or more of their many shell corporations distributed throughout the various countries of the world).
The SGI is NOT "growing"; it is collapsing. The SGI membership is aging and dying, just as the Soka Gakkai membership is in Japan. The Ikeda organization stopped growing everywhere in the mid-1970s.

Over time, their generous donations added up to billions - far exceeding most churches, including the Vatican.

Really? Show us the money, then! We all KNOW the Soka Gakkai hasn't given the lion's share of the money they have to Nichiren Shoshu (or anyone), and the Soka Gakkai has been very careful to NEVER disclose how much it is worth. So let's see your sources! I can't WAIT to see the details!! 😃

Seems the temple high priests felt it 'acceptable' to use the hard-earned donated funds for their frequent drinking parties with the opposite sex and other irresponsible actions.

Oh, really? I'm guessing you're going off those photoshopped pictures the Soka Gakkai mocked up and then got spanked for in court. You really need to do better research!
Whatever happened to Ikeda's 1990 supposedly "eternal" "clear mirror guidance", in which everyone is instructed to assume FULL PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for everything that bothers them within their environment?? Hmmmm....? Since when has the SGI encouraged COMPLAINING about others?? You really should stop your complaining - Ikeda SENSEI says so!

Frequent requests to stop by the lay organization were ignored.

No, no - this was a power struggle in which Daisaku Ikeda thought he'd be able to take over Nichiren Shoshu and run it however HE wanted. THAT is the ENTIRE problem.

Also, prior to the burning of the Shohondo which was paid for by SGI members

You apparently don't realize that the Sho-Hondo was made of ferroconcrete - concrete reinforced with steel.
Do you really think that concrete and steel are flammable??? Have you ever tried to burn concrete or steel??? Here are images from the DEMOLITION. Enjoy.
[No "burning" was involved, moron. And it was the right thing to do.

the priests had instructed that the cremated ashes of members left in safeguard at the Shohondo, be dumped into rice bags like trash. I was in total disbelief to hear and read of such disrespectful actions - like watching a movie unfold.

Let's see the evidence. SGI members are notorious for making shit up and expecting everybody to just believe them.

Priests like that are not fit to be advisers and examples for others - they are no better than wild animals. The Japanese govt verbally reprimanded the temple priests for their lack of respect and compassion for the deceased and their loved ones. Unfit for their role as head priests, these money-hungry animals showed no remorse as their pockets were already filled they make me sick to my stomach!

Oh boo hoo hoo. EVIDENCE PLEASE

Not true. To set the record straight, their belief is that other faiths are outdated and there is only one true religion. Also, they do not teach to destroy other faiths - a ridiculous statement. (Not a member but I researched enough to know what are false statements.)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
SURE you're not, SkinBitchy! You're dripping with "I Will Become Shin'ichi Yamamoto!" energy!
Considering that most, if not ALL, the content you posted has been shown to be WRONG, your "research" obviously needs some work. Idiot.
"All religions except Nichiren Shoshu are evil and poisonous to society and must be destroyed." - All Three Soka Gakkai Presidents
Here are Jōsei Toda and Daisaku Ikeda (ever heard of them?) stating plainly that other faiths must be DESTROYED:
Toda:

Intolerance
It should be noted that in the immediate postwar era Sōka Gakkai’s extreme intolerance of other religious faiths did not change in the least. For example, on October 31, 1954, Toda Jōsei mounted a white horse (previously the exclusive prerogative of the emperor) on the Taisekiji parade grounds and addressed assembled members of the Young Men’s and Young Women’s divisions as follows:
In our attempt at kosen rufu [converting the entire world] we are without an ally. We must consider all religions our enemies, and we must destroy them. Ladies and gentlemen, it is obvious that the road ahead is full of obstacles. Therefore, you must worship the gohonzon (sacred scroll), take the Sōka Gakkai spirit to heart, and cultivate the strength of youth. I expect you to rise to the occasion to meet the many challenges that lie ahead. Source

The Soka Gakkai:

"All of orders and religions except Nichiren-sho-shu are heretical religion, and they poison society." - "Shakubuku-Kyoten," p286, edited by Soka-Gakkai teaching section and supervised by Ikeda Daisaku. Source
At the time of Toda's death Soka Gakkai numbered nearly a million followers. Under the leadership of the movement's third president, Daisaku Ikeda, Soka Gakkai's influence increased rapidly. He committed himself to continue Toda's policy 'to destroy other religions'. Source

Daisaku Ikeda:

My two hundred thousand comrades in the entire Kansai district, I hereby desire you to open a general attack under the command of Mr. Shiraki, the chief of the General Chapter[,] on the Tenrikyo, the stronghold of all heresy in the Kansai area. - Ikeda
I desire, therefore, that you, under the leadership of the Youth Division Chief open a general attack, starting this very day, on the Rissho Koseikai, which leads people to hell by delusory doctrines. - Ikeda

There it is. DOCUMENTED.

they do not teach to destroy other faiths - a ridiculous statement.

Here ya go:

Like his mentor, Toda was not speaking metaphorically when he urged the destruction of all other religions. Nevertheless, Sōka Gakkai representatives now claim things have changed. Source

They sure do. It is you and your beliefs that are ridiculous, and you should be ashamed of your LYING.
I am hereby inviting u/Mobile_Taro1969, who is banned from SGIWhistleblowers, to send me a private message with any response or comments, which I will post in its unedited entirety here in the comments, with a screenshot to show it is complete.
If anyone finds any more such necrotrolling, please bring it to the attention of one of the mods so that we can deal with it.

To preface, I'm not a member of this group and this is my first time posting here, so apologies if this has been addressed following the finale.
I picked up Barry in mid-June last year after the end of season 3. Had never heard of it before or seen anything on TikTok...etc. Just randomly picked it up and started it. Long story short, it BLEW ME AWAY. I immediately fell in love with the show. I think I binged the entire series to the end of S3 in probably two days no exaggeration.
Anyways, when S4 came out I didn't start it immediately, probably because of Succession. I let it go to about mid-season and then just binged it, after that I've been watching weekly.
Does anyone else feel like they were watching a completely different show in S4? It's got great reviews so I feel like I may be the only one. I thought the whole season was just very "off" if that makes sense? The finale was okay in my opinion, but just wanted to see what everyone else thinks?

I flew from Los Angeles to London to join two others to pick up Humanitarian Supplies and Trucks and drive them across Europe to take to the troops in Ukraine. The closest we got to the front line was Kramatorsk 20 km and Zaporizhzhya 40 km we drove for 9 days our shortest driving day was about 3 hours.

Female 37 and male 38, married for 15 years secretly texting ex bf
I have a friend that has been married for 18 years (let’s call her “Y”) to (let’s call him “G”). So a few months ago he started acting strange and being more secretive with his phone. Now what he doesn’t know is that she can see the cellphone bill call and text on the phone statement. And for the last 2 or 3 months she has been noticing a lot more exchange between them( let’s call her”E”) At first she didn’t think much of it since his cousin (let’s call him “M”) has two kids with her and M didn’t have a phone to communicate with.
Recently she found out they E & M are not together anymore. So one day G left his phone when he went into shower and Y had seen in a video that there is a spot on iPhone that you can retrieve deleted text and she saw the old one asking about M but those where from months ago and she thought nothing of it. Weeks went by and she keeped seeing her number come by on the bill with many calls and text between them. So on another occasion G left his phone there again and Y checked it again because she didn’t understand why he keeps erasing all the text and calls from his phone if it’s suppose to be in communication about M, this time I think he might have seen the video or looked it up but he erased them from the deleted file on iPhone. So Y decided to log him on the iPad so all the text are backed up in there. So when Y did this the old one that he had completely deleted from his phone where gone completely and she was only able to see the ones from right now and moving forward.
A little context of Y and E relationship, they had known each other since elementary and grew up in the same neighborhood. They had gone out and partied together and Y knew how E was. They where close for awhile and Y even considered that E might be their daughter’s godmother. Unfortunately 11 years ago they had a fall out because when Y had gone to Mexico for a few months she had been getting notes from her sister and mother in law that E had been around her house at all kinds of hours. When Y came back she confronted G and E about this and they both got very defensive about this and try to say she was crazy and non of the rumors where true. Y gave them the benefit of the doubt and just cut ties with her and told him that if he really wanted to work on this marriage he would cut ties with her too and they did. Then E got pregnant by M and they where on and if for a few years and have 2 kids together.
Y decided instead of letting things just simmer confront G that if he does not cut ties with E completely that it’s over because if it was Y and M doing what they are doing E and G would not like it. The crazy thing is that I think M has no idea what is going on because G would make it impossible for Y to communicate with him.

Background
Denise Porch and her husband of one year, Rodney, lived in Charlotte, North Carolina, having recently moved there from the nearby town of Denton. The 21-year-old was the apartment manager for Yorktown Apartments off Tyvola Road, where she and her husband also resided. Theirs was regarded as a loving marriage between two childhood sweethearts. At the time of her disappearance, she and her husband were eagerly awaiting an upcoming concert for the soft rock group Seals & Croft.
Disappearance
On July 31, 1975, Rodney returned home from work at 8 p.m. He found a note from Denise taped to the front door, which said she had slipped out to show apartments to a prospective renter and expected to arrive back before 3 p.m.
There were a number of red flags: the television had been left on, and her Chevy Camaro was still in the driveway. She hadn’t taken her pocketbook with her. Neighbors had reported seeing Denise talking to a man outside that afternoon, but none of this eyewitness information ever lead to any leads.
Denise was declared legally dead in 1982.
Larry Gene Bell
At the time of her disappearance, an unassuming electrician named Larry Gene Bell lived about 300 yards away from Yorktown Apartments.
Bell, originally from Alabama, had spent his adult years shuffling back and forth between the Charlotte and Columbia, South Carolina areas, holding a series of unremarkable jobs. Eventually settling in Lexington County, South Carolina, the seemingly normal former Marine would go on to commit two shocking murders.
Shari Faye Smith, 17, was abducted outside her home on May 31, 1985. After a series of mocking phone calls to her family, Bell had forced Shari to write a “Last Will and Testament” to her parents before ultimately killing her.
Only two weeks later, Debra May Helmick, 9, had been found murdered following a continued dialogue between Bell and the Smith family—it is widely believed that Shari Smith’s older sister, Dawn, was the initial object of his infatuation, and Debra’s murder was nothing more than boiled-over frustration taken out on yet another young blonde.
Advancements in handwriting forensics ultimately led to Bell’s capture. Following a trial largely characterized by his numerous unhinged outbursts, Bell was eventually sentenced to death. He died via electric chair on October 4, 1996.
Bell’s Possible Involvement in Denise’s Disappearance
Aside from the fact that he was living nearby at the time of her disappearance, authorities have other reasons—albeit, coincidental—to believe he could have been involved.
For one, Denise was a young woman with blonde hair in her early twenties; the same profile another object of his murderous lust, Dawn Smith. It is known that Bell liked to target specific blondes but would settle on killing another one if the opportunity arose.
There are also shades of similar MO’s involved in Shari’s capture and murder and Denise’s disappearance. Shari’s kidnapping took place in broad daylight, right at the end of her own family’s driveway. The unidentified suspect in Denise’s disappearance met with her outside in the middle of the day, which would seem equally brazen given that she was well-known in that area due to her status as apartment manager.
Without a body or a game-changing new lead, solving this nearly 50-year mystery doesn’t seem very possible. But the close proximity of an infamous predator to the scene of the disappearance, combined with the victim’s profile, may provide us with some clues.

I am struggling to get my head around how Flame throwers work when attacking a vehicle. I understand it as Roll to hit and apply modifiers. e.g. Engineer Team moved, target is now 5" away. So 3 to hit + Movement (+1) and Long Range (+1) TO HIT = 5. Roll for Pins. D3 + 1. e.g. rolled a 4 so 2+1 = 3 Pins Roll for number of hits. D6 with Inf, D6+1 if Vehicle. Side not here Vehicle has 12" range for Flame Weapons. e.g. rolled a 4 for hits. Then roll for kills in usual manner. Inexperienced 3+, Regular 4+ and Veteran 5+. Unit that was attacked now roles morale test. e.g. if Reg Inf was targeted they roll at 9 - (in this example 3) 3 pins means they have to roll a 6 or lower to pass. Modifiers such as Stubborn or being in an officers range can affect that roll. If morale test failed then unit flees, whether armour or inf. last action is roll D6 for Fuel. On a 1 Run out of Fuel, Unit removed from table. If it had been a plain flame team they whole unit would have been removed. For a vehicle each flame weapon would have to roll, on a 1 the weapon is out of action but the vehicle remains.
Easy enough.
For a vehicle. The flame thrower has a Pen of 3+ so the max is always going to be 9 for damage. The Flame thrower always hits the top armour. So it can roll against Hvy Armour still. The flame thrower does not suffer a -1 for range against armour on damage roll. It is similar to Shaped Charge weapons in that aspect. Does the Flame thrower still roll D6 for inf or D6+1 hits for vehicle mounted if attacking armour. If it does get multiple hits does that mean each hit is then rolled on the damage table or only one roll agaisnt the damage table. E.g I got 3 hits against a Light tank. so against top armour I need 7. Meaning each of the 3 hits needs a 4+ to be able to roll on the damage table against armour.
If I am wrong please let me know what I misunderstood.

After rewatching the Armada Battle scene in HTTYD 3, I realized it wouldn't have happened if not for Toothless, and Toothless was incredibly selfish. Grimmel gave him the choice of the Light Fury dying and the rest of the dragons being allowed to rescue Toothless and destroy the dragon trappers (they were all congregated, easy pickings)... or save the Light Fury and allow every other dragon to be enslaved???
This is a classic trolley problem and Toothless chose DEAD wrong. Unless I'm missing something, to me that just seems so horrifically selfish and totally ruined everything.
My main beef is the way he chose to handle that situation but also, think of it this way. If Toothless had chosen the rest of Berk over his one-off GF, he would have been rescued, the dragons would have destroyed the Armada and easily killed off most future dragon trapper threats, and while obvs it isn't ideal for someone to have to die, the Light Fury probably would (though honestly I'm not even convinced of that).
But if the Light Fury had died, wouldn't Toothless have realized how much more Hiccup and EVERYONE else in Berk meant to him? Things would have gone back to normal and the franchise would have ended better. From there of course, things might end like in the books series, with the GRADUAL leaving of the dragons. But to me, that seems like it would have been so much better of an ending. I think no matter what, Hiccup meant more to Toothless than the Light Fury.
